Desire for Free Soldiers Train Does
Not Justify n spccinl Session.
PIERRE, s. D., Sept. 1.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-Governor Lee in his refusal to call a
special session takes the position that no
such emergency exists which would justify
a special session. He believes the money can
be raised by popular subscription and he Is
disposed to allow the committee appointed
at Huron to carry it's work TO a successful
termination and will give 1t his encourage
ment.
The Populist, the official paper OF the gov
ernor, states that he will not authorize the
issue OF emergency warrants to meet the
deficit which will come In a few days without
them, for the reason that he does not be-
lieve there will be any discount on the state
warrants, as the time until they can be paid
will be short. The same paper promises
early sensations In the report OF the public
examiner on the past management of the
penitentiary, reform school and insane hos
pital, but as yet the governors office does
not see fit to give the matter out for publica-
tion.
The first OF the corps of Sisters of Mercy
who will establish the hospital in this city
arrived today and are at work arranging the
building. Mother Catharine is present with
the others to assist in the work.

Possible CIew to Identity.

The police yesterday received a possible
cIew to the identity Of Tom Ward, the in
sane man captured by Officers Weir and
Stockdale Wednesday at Mosquito creek
and 1t may be that the man is a returned
Klondiker, as at first suspected. Yesterday
Chief Bixby received a postal card from ].
p. McElroy of Blanchard, Ia, asking for
particulars and a description OF Ward. Nc
Elroy is inclined to believe that he ia Fred
erick F. Ward, a resident in the vicinity
OF Blanchard who left about eighteen
months ago for the Klondike. Ward, Nc
Elroy writes, was a well-to-do farmer, own
ing $50 acres Of valuable land and other
property. He was taken with the KIondike
fever and, despite the warning Of friends
and family, left his wife and five children
to go there. From the day he left no It'd
ings of him have ever been received by his
family and he has been mourned for dead.
Tn description given by McElroy of the
missing farmer answers to that of the man
here. McTllroy asks the chief to send him
a photograph of the man who is now at
st. Demands hospital. where he was tenn
porarily committed on order OF the insanity
commissioners.

GOVERNOR LEE WILL REFUSE
No Extra Session of South Dakota
Legislature to Raise n Free
Train Fund.

ST. PAUL. Sept. IA Pierre Is. d.
special to the Dispatch says:
The Populist, the official paper of Gov
ernor Lee in this city, today announces that
the governor will refuse to call a session
of the legislature to provide means to bring
the troops from San Francisco. It also states
that he will refuse to issue emergency war
rants, which means that state warrants will
have to be registered within a few days, but
it is not likely that any Of them will be
for more than a short time.
The Populist also announces that Public
Examiner Taylor has filed a report show
ing crooked work in the management of the
penitentiary, the reform school and insane
asylum under former management, but that
the officers refuse to give out the report,
stating that 1t will be published in due time.

DIES MONIES, Sept. 1.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-Today was Des Moines day at the
fair, when some 10000 people attended. The
fair ends tomorrow after the most success
full week In its history. The receipts Will
aggregate $40, 900 and as the expenses are
but $4,000 to $25, 900 1t is going to leave
a neat surplus. This surplus will be used
in improving the grounds and making the
fair still better next year. Late this after
noon many of the big exhibitors packed up
their exhibits and began moving out, as 1t
always has been the custom to make Friday
the last day. The management made a
great protest and finally told the exhibitors
that If they moved their displays before
Saturday afternoon the fair management
would not pay their premiums. This made
the exhibitors hot and they Immediately APP
pealed to the courts and asked for an in
junction, claiming that matters had been
misrepresented to them and that they
wanted to leave in order to reach the Min
nesota State fair on time. The matter was
finally patched UP without court interfer-
ence, however, and the stock was permitted
to leave, all others remaining.
General Manager Martin Of the Iowa Cen
trail stated that his resignation went
into effect today. There have been all sorts

tin resigns his office he will be connected

least until the negotiations for the sale of
the Iowa Central to either the Milwaukee
or Burlington are consummated. j. N. Title
more will act as general manager of the
road as he has during the illness of Martin.
The facts in the case are that Martin was
told by the owners of the road while east
that it was almost impossible in this age
to operate a small system, especially where
the system begins at Nowhere and ends at
the same place. Thu Iowa Central has been
getting the short end of the stick and yet
it's expense is as heavy as the other roads
proportionately.
A large warehouse stored with iron, rub

ing, valued at $4,000, lis totally destroyed,

nearly Is per cent. The valuation exceeds
that Of any year in the history of Wyoming,
