it. The buildings were all wood and
made a fierce fire. In MI hour the
great buildings were a total loss.
The plant was valued at about $780,.
900 and was insured for $4,000 in thir.
ty different companies.
The burning of the plant will throw
about $50 men out of employment, in.

GENIAL "jIm1 WILSON.
Philadelphia Paper Praises Iowa's
ssa Cabinet Member.

w <
Cabinet Member.
Philadelphia Evening Post: The
nos picturesque figure in the cabinet
today is James Wilson, of Iowa-a
typical American, though, paradox
ically enough, he was born in Scot
land. OF all the secretaries who hold
portfolios under President Mckinley,
he is the most approachable. No
dragon guards his outer door, but any
visitor is welcome to walk right in"
and chat with him. He likes the news
paper correspondents and is fond of
telling them that he has been for
many years a working newspaper
man himself. Indeed. this is true
enough, inasmuch as he was quite fa-
nous in the west as a writer on agTi.
cultural subjects long before he en-
tered the cabinet.
.Sit down, SOM" the secretary will
say to a newspaper mar who may
chance to look in on him in the hope
of getting a bit Of news. Then he will
wheel around in his leather-covered
armchair and, twirling his eyeglasses
by the string, will talk off in ten min
utes the material for a column of mat
ter perhaps, full Of striking sugges-
tons, and put in a. quaint and vivid
way that keeps the correspondents
pencil flying, lest he miss something.
Mr.. Wilson likes to have it under
stood that he owes all that he is to
the soil-that he himself is the prod
net of intelligent farming. One of his
stories describes how. when he came
to this country, in 1852, from Ayr
shire, Scotland, the eldest of n family
of fourteen children. his father set
him to work to help improve n few
acres of rather barren land in Con-
necticut. The elder Wilson thought
he knew what the land wanted to
make it fruitful, and as no bone mills
existed in those days, he vent around
in a wagon and gathered up all the
butchers bones and such othe. ami
NAL remains as could be secured. Then
he obliged young Jim and his brothers
to gnstn work on them with hammers
and beat them to powder, which was
employed as a fertilizer with most ia
vorable results. The secretary says
that this bone-brenking was the hard
est toll he ever did in his life.
Three years later. when he was 20,
he went to Iowa, locating in lama
county, and started at farming for
himself. Out there he has long been
known as "rTama jim" to distinguish
Fin from another James Wilson.

Vermillion, Aug. 3O.-Governor A. f.
Lee yesterday afternoon issued the
following Labor day proclamation:
in conformity with the laws of
congress and established custom L
hereby designate Monday, September
4, 1899, as labor's holiday.
Il sincerely hope hat the usual
business activities of the people Of
South Dakota will be discontinued on
this day and that each and every one
will do his part towards making. the
festival a complete success from every
standpoint.
The labor question is a world ques-
ton. The development of great in
dustrial corporations which have null
tiplied in numbers and capitalization
with such alarming rapidity during
the last few years, defying the laws of
the land, tramping justice and equity
under foot and disregarding with the
grossest contempt the commonest in
stincts of humanity, has challenged
the honest manhood of the country to
a struggle which is not only of the
gravest political, social and economic
consequence, but which becomes at
the start a moral question of gigantic
proportions, calling for the most
heroic services of the best manhood
and womanhood of the land.
with the economic Independence of
our great laboring masses destroyed
the way will be made easy for the de-
struction of our civil and political lib
critics, SO that the labor question be-
comes one at one important to all lib
erty-loving people regardless of their
social environment or partisan beliefs.

seal of the state of South Dakota this

Rome, Aug. 3o.-The New York Jour
nal correspondent cables: His holi.
ness the pope is deeply concerned
about the war in the Philippines. He
has communicated his anxiety to the
Rev. Father Reaney, chaplain Of the
Olympia. In the plainest possible
terms Leo expressed u strong desire tc
see peace established between the
United States and the natives, and said
that he contemplated the opening OF
negotiations with the United States
government with a view to regulating
the position of Catholics in the Philip
pines.
I'VE have a firm hope" he said. shat
the Philippines will again acquire
prosperity under the protection of the
United States"
All this was in the curse Of Il special
audience accorded to the chaplain of
Dewey's flagship. There is little doubt
that the comforting of this unusual
honor upon Father Reaney was
prompted by the pontiff's desire to in.
quire closely into the condition of af-
fairs in the Philippines from one whc
had enjoyed such good opportunities
Of observing the situation, and whc
could enlighten him from an Ameri-
can and Catholic point of view.
In heartfelt terms he expressed his
horror of the b%loodshed that had oc-
Cured and dilnted upon the i'm.
portance of making every endeavor to
bring it to an end. He took it for
granted that when peace was conclnd,
ed the United States would establish q
be~neficent rule, under which the Phil
ippines would quickly reach a condi.
tion of happiness and prosperity.
His holiness asked many questions
about Admiral Dewey, his personality.
his opinions. and inquired svmpathet-
ically about the state of his health.
At the conclusion of the interview he
gave Father Reaney an autograph let.
ter for delivery to the admiral. and
made the priest the bearer of his bene
diction to the crew of the Olympia.

A NEW KING DAVID.
Lieutenant Tottcn Discovers Him
I'm the Duke OF YOrk,s Son,

In the Duke OF YOrkea Son.
New York, Aug. 30.-Iicutenant c.
A. l.. Totten, United States army, re-
tired, formerly professor of military
science at Yale, believes he has traced
a direct line of descent from King Da-
vid of biblical times to the little son of
the duke of York. According to Prof.
Totten, if this boy, the third in line of
succession to the throne of England,
ever becomes king he will be the long
expected King David, who is to come
into the world to gather the Hebrew
race from the fonr corners of the earth
and to solidify again this scattered
people
In speaking of his theory Prof, Tot
ten said:
',The heir of the duke of York, il he
eventually comes to the British throne,
will rightfully be called King David.
He has always been called David.
His full nar,c is Edward Albert
Christian George Andrew Patrick Da-
vid. He has always been called David.
There is more to this matter than a
mere name, for the prince can trace his
descent back to David himself, and
that is where the significance comes in,
for II is well known to biblical students
