Losses by Fire.

Fire and Water: November proved a
fiery month and disastrous to the under
writers. The fire loss amounted to &c.
235, 1000. as against s7,1s9.S 800 in 1897 and
Sc. 2l1, 800 in 1896. The total fire loss for the
eleven month of the present year is $l06. =
93S, 400. as against sos, 991, 900 in 1897 and
$lO4, 293, 800 In 1895. Yet in November the
fire loss was not the greatest OF any
month In the year. 1t was exceeded by
that in September, which was $l4, 2O3, $50;
that Of February, $l2. 629, 200, and that of
May, Nl,O72, 200. In the month just past
there were l73 fires In which the loss ex-
ceeded $4,000, as follows: From $40, 900 to
$4,000, %; $4,000 TO $50, 900, %: $50, 600 to
$4,000. 81: $4,000 to SIS, 5000, II; $4,000 to
100000. 10; 100000. to 100000. IA; $780,

fires were those at the starch works at

cember, usually a costly one from a fire
insurance point of view, has begun on a
very fiery scale, which. II even partially
maintained, will make the year 1898 a very
expensive year for the underwriters.

DAKOTA HEROES WHO FELL.
Sketches OF Lieutcnants Adams and
Morrison.

MOrrlSOn.
Sioux Falls, S. d., March 29.-Sidney
II. Morrison, second lieutenant of Com
pany +, of De Smet, killed at Marilao,
in the Philippines, was about 26 years
of age. His parents live Mt De Smet,
and also his brother, T.. A. Morrison,
Of the -four mill. Lieutenant Morrison
came to Sioux Falls with his company
as n sergeant, but upon the reorgan-
ization after the examinations he re-
ceived his commission as second lieu
tenant. Sidney Morrison was raised
on a farm a few miles south of Sioux
Falls and many citizens of this city
were we'll acquainted with him. He
was unmarried.
First Lieutenant Frank II. Adams,
of the Watertown company, who also
met his death at Marilao, was born in
Wayne, Mich, November 10, 1852, and
moved to Wisconsin with his parents
at 2 years of age. In 1881 they re-
moved to WATERFOWL, and he was EN-
ployed there as a printer for two
years. He was elected county au-
ditor in 1884 and served in that apac-
ity for eight years. He later pub
lished the WATERFOWL Kampeskian,
and at the time of his enlistment was
deputy county auditor. He enlisted
in the South Dakota National Guard
in March, 1890, and was made sergeant
in June, 1896. He received his COM
mission as second lieutenant in Febru-
airy, 1897, and as first Lieutenant April
21, 1898. He leaves a wife and family.
Lieutenant Paul ID. McClelland, who
was wounded, enlisted from Custer.
He is we'll known in the southern Hills,
especially at Rapid City. He is son-in-
law of George Beardshear, of that
place, and has a wife at Custer.

MANY LIVES ARE LOST
The River Steamer Rowena Lee
Goes Down 100 Miles Above
Memphis.

Memphis, Tenn, March 31.-The
Rowena Lee, of the Lee liners between
here and Cairo, sunk at Tyler, Mo-,
about 100 miles above Memphis yester-
day. 1t is reported that only a few of
her passengers escaped.
The officials of the Lee line in this
city were interviewed last evening.
General Manager Robert Z. Lee stated
that he had received Geographic ad-
vices of the loss, but no details. The
Rowena Lee was built at jefferson
vile, Ind, five years ago and was val
ued at $50, 900. She was one of the
most magnificent passenger steamers
in the Mississippi river trade. She
piled between Memphis and Cairo.
Cairo, H., March 30.-The officers
and crew of the i'll fated Rowena Lee
were as follows:
Captain G.. Carvill.
First Clerk i. X. Booker.
Second Clerk Gus Mitchell.
Third Clerk Sam Lewis.
Pilots Sid Smith and Il. Banks,
Engineers Albert Cslldom and Frank
Stull.
Steward Geo. w. Todd.
Mates John Crasty and Patrick Elan
nagan.
Mail Clerk M. Il. Kelly.
Theodore HUM, barkeeper.
Logomarsino, barkeeper.
William Hight, colored, deck bar
keeper.
Most of the crew resided In Mem
phis.
Al Faris, of Hickman, KY, was a
passenger on the vessel.
The river is running high and the
steamer Immediately sank with all on
board but the captain and of the
crew. They chung to wreckage and
were saved by boats.
Among the passengers were NJ. C..
Lewis, travelling freight agent of the
Lee line, and S. c. Humphrey, general
agent for the Chicago and Milwaukee
Lumber company, of Cairo. The cause
of the disaster cannot be obtained.
The steamer was the property Of the
Lees at Memphis.

Sun Eciipsed at Midnight.

London Times: The ordinary almanac
gave for December IL a partial eclipse or
the sun, invisible at Greenwich. And in
deed the expression as TO Its invisibiltty
might have been put much stronger, for
It was to be seen In no inhabited region
OF the earth. An Antartic expedition
might possibly have sailed within it's
sphere or influence. but as ft was ft
passed unmatched by human eyes. This
being SO, and the eclipse one that was
necessarily wholly unseen. II would seem
as II nothing more could be said about
II, and as II II might be passed without
comment. But, unseen as II was, the
eclipse was by no means devoid OF Inter-
est. First Of all, 1t offers Us an example
Of what seems a p~aradox-an eclipse OF
the sun taking place at local midnight. IL
Is, moreover, the hrst OF three eclipses
falling within a period no longer than a
single calendar month. December q will
bring a total eclipse Of the moon at Green
wich-January IL a partial eclipse of the
sun. And the three are very intimately
connected with each other. The latter in
nearly all Its characteristics stands in
strong contrast to the eclipse OF Deem
Der ia large partial eclipse which will
be seen just outside the borders OF the
Arctic regions at their midday and In their
midwinter. Nor is this sequence acct
dental. A similar triplet Of eclipses-the
first partial Of the sun and seen near the
south pole. the second total Of the moon,
the third partial of the sun and visible
near the north pole-occurred just
eighteen years ago, all three eclipses fall
ing In December, 1880. Going back yet an
other eighteen years we find the same
thing repeated some ten days earlier in
the year, and so on right away back
ward till 1854. when, while the southern
eclipse was a large partial one and fell
nearly in the midwinter of the southern
hemisphere. the northern was a mere
regions from which IL was visible. Look
ing forward we find in like manner that
eighteen years hence another similar
trip!et Of eclipses will fail at the turn OF
the year, and yet another eighteen years
later still. This ends the series of these
Midnight eclipses Of the sun In the south
polar regions, tor January, 1853, will be
marked only by a total eclipse OF the
moon.

Cuban Delegates Informed The,
Will Get No More.

Washington, April 3.--The delegates
from the Cuban assembly, Messrs. Vii
lalon and Hevia, called informally at
the state department yesterday and
had a long conversation with Secretary
Hay. The affairs in Cuba were freely
discussed and the delegates presented
the resolutions of the Cuban assembly.
Secretary Hay assured the delegates
that the United States government
would not increase the sum TO be paid
the Cuban army above the $4,000, 900
already sent to Cuba. He said this
matter could not be further consid-
cred. He also informed them that the
president would not consent TO any
scheme for raising money by the Gu
ban assembly to pay the Cuban troops.
Later the secretary mentioned the call
to President Mckinley and the presi-
dent informed him that there would
be no other or further answer to the
delegation than had already been Civ
en- by the secretary.

WIFE AND MONEY O N
Klondiker Who Traded His Better
Half Makes a Bad Bargain.


San Francisco Special: Frank Bur-
ton, ar Oregon farmer, traded wives
with Frank Hall, a neighbor, a year
ago in order to get a big, strong com
panion to assist him on a trip to the
Klondike. Now this new spouse has
left him, taking with her the proceeds
of the Alaskan trip.
Hall and Burton lived near Sylvan,
Ore. Mrs. Hall was a tall, athletic wo-
man, capable of digging a well or bail
ing hay. Mrs. Burton was a comely lit
tie woman, an ideal housewife, but not
very strong.
Burton caught the Klondik< fever in
1897. One day when he and his wife
were visiting the Halls he suggested
that they trade wives. The women
made no objection and after some
dickering Hall agreed to trade, Burton
giving his wife and -four acres of
prime onions" for Mrs. Hall.
Soon after, Burton and his new wife
went to Alaska. Mrs. Burton No. 2
proved an efficient pack horse and EAR
ried most of the goods. The couple
reached Dawson and prospered, 4
