SIeritf Lrcdy. was we'll known here.
He. was quite an athlete, Of chival-
rous bearing aud had many warm
friends in this city who sincerely
mourn his death in that lar off couE-
try. Large Of heart and OF fine APP
pearance, he certainly deserved a
better fate than to have fallen at the
hands Of barbarOus ma ives of a els
tant island. Those vino are welded
to the present administration should
blush with shame when they see the
best Of our young men in the prime
Of manhood shot down for no good
purpose. The life of such a rue
heroic fellow us viii Smith, is worth
a million Of the half naked vagabonds
whom Mckinley is trying to subdue,
and it seems u burning disgrace
that many OF the country's bravest
sons should be sacrificed on SO

And now comes Prof. Cook of the
Spcarlish Normal and says that the
report of a petition asking for the
closing Of the school of mines is
false, that no such paper has circu-
lated at Sprartish. We are thorough
y glad Of it. While such a petition
would probably have no effect, at
Pierre, it would certainly not b,
creditable to Spaarfish and that
town coul i'll afford to father such a
silly move TIE UNION is glad tina,
til whole thing is an error.
