Foreign buying orders for wheat were in
the market AT the beginning. while do

damage became the leading influence.
and many CT those orders came from peo-
PIE in the country who had previously
claimed there was 10 material damage.
These matters made short sellers anxious
and Some of them were the best ccr-
ratstors for the limited offerings

The state assessment returns 90 a long
way to remove the charge of hard times
from South Dakota. Taking the popu.
lation at 4O0,0O0-which Is likely to be
large-and the returns show practically
as an assessment value of $4OO per capita
for the people of the state. 1t is well
known that the assessment value Is not
the real value by any means and the
population is put in at a high rate. The
facts If they could be gotten at, would
show that the wealth of the state is near
ly double the $500 per capita shown by
such returns. Despite all the criticisms
made about the state during the trying
times of the past ten years, South Dakota
has more than held its own, and today
offers the man with limited capital and
indomitable energy a grand field for in
dustriul agricultural pursuit.

The American consul general at ST.
Petersburg gives this account Of a trial
of cornstaik pith made by the Russian
admiralty board on the proving grounds
at Peligon, near st. Petersburg:
"A cofferdam 6 feet long, 8 feet deep
and 3 feet broad was packed with blocks
of cellulose made from the pith of In
dian com stalks. The material was sup
piled by an American corporation. A 6
inch solid shot was fred through the
dam, striking it about 20 inches from
the bottom The shot passed clear
through both the iron walls and the
cellulose pacing Less than half a
pound of ~cellulose was carried out by
the projectila The water compartments
of the dam was filled. giving a pressure
of nearly FIVE feet OF water ON the per-
forated surface. In just half an hour a
moist spot began TO show on the outer
surface of the dam, but il was evident
the moisture had come along the bottom
of the packing and not along the path
of the shot. In four hours no water had
come through the shots path.
"The experiment conclusively dem
cnstrated that a ship provided with a
cofferdam packed as was the N used
in the experiment could be perforated
five feet below the water line without
the least danger of the entrance of wa

From Washington comes the re-
port that there is a number OF agen-
cies which the Indian commissioner
is in favor of abolishing. These are
the points where the Indians have
become citizens, all the lands having
been allotted, and the business in
such a shape that it can be carried
on by a bonded superintendent with
as much expedition and at a much
less expense to the government,
The Sisseson agency in South Oak.
is cited as All illustration where the
services OF an agent are no longer
required, and it is not improbable
that a recommendation will be made
to congress next winter that the
agency be abolished and the affairs
of the Indian Office at that point be
placed in charge of . bonded school

Serious charges of mismanage :
ment and Misrepresentation have
been preferred by a special agent of
the Indian bureau against l.. ID.
Da Wis, Superintendent of the Elan.
dreau Indian school who is well
known throughout the state as the
manager of the Flandreau ball team.
In fact the ball team enters largely
in the charges. Mr.. Davis is a cour-
teous and polished gentleman, whom
it is difficult to believe guilty of
classifying vouchers etc., but there
can be but little question that too
much attention was devoted to the
ball team, probably at the expense
of the school. A manager of a team
with as many engagements as Elan
dreau could have but little time for
any other business. The chances
are hat Mr.. Davis will be dismissed
and the ball team disband.

They Will do Their Duty.
Nankton Gazette.

Two things especially have the repub.
licans of South Dakota charged Messrs
Ga mble and Burke TO do. To use their
utmost exertion to by legislation destroy
the great industrial ~monopolies and to use
their utmost exertion to clothe the inter
state commerce commission with power
TO fix maximum rates and upon these
matters the people of South Dakota will
hold them TO the strictest accountability
The way to the accomplishment of the
second proposition is clear. The method
of performing the first is not SO clear but
a conscientious attempt to accomplish it
will be made.

The South Dakota soldier boys
enjoyed a magnificent reception from
the people of California upon their
arrival. 1t is toe bad that the re-
ception and the brilliant record
made by the regiment should have
been marred by troubles among the
officers, which however have been
settled happily. The trouble does
not e to have been political, but
to have arisen from jealousy
and a desire to rush into print. The
officers under arrest have apologized
aud been released from restraint.
1t is noticeable though in the apol-
ogies that while Maj. Warne and
1t. Bates admit the charge Of letter
writing. 1t. Col. Slower declares the
charge laid to him as utterly untrue
and false. However ALPS we'll that
ends we'll and let us all pull to-
gether to give the boys a reception
when they reach home that they will
never forget.
