THE A OF LAWTON,

The transport with the remains of
General Lawton has arrived at San
Francisco, and for the first time came
the fuller accounts of his death. One of
the most touching accounts comes from
the pen of the st. Louis Globe Democrat
correspondent, who says:
When all was ready and all the light
was upon us which the sun could give
through such Il wall of rain clouds, the
idol started the ceremony by stepping
out OF cover into the bare, low marsh
opposite the town. The men formed
with veteran silence and precision in the
half-inundated open, and the coolies
made maudlin noises back where the
horses were. The advance commenced.
And now from behind the trenches and
low stone walls across the river came
noisy acknowledgements of all these
things.
For Gods sake, keep IA little under
cover. sir! We can't spare you!'
1t was Lieut.. breckenridge, chief Of
staff, who spoke, and he was talking to
the idol. But that Deity OF the regular
army man continued to walk up and
down in his great yellow slcker and
helmet with both eyes or the game
which his whole brain was directing.
please. sir, take Off those target
clothes. They have eyes for no one but
you.'
And, indeed, this seemed to be true.
A swarm. twangling an incisivc, ill-bod-
ing song, WAS in the very ears of the idol.
But his heart was deep in the game.
There was a clean-cut cash on one OF
the sleeves of the oilskin which Lieut..
breckenridge saw later.
"You've been hit. sir. There are sharp.
shooters across the stream"
Not many moments afterward this
lieutenant, who would have treasured SO
carefully the life of his general, felt the
cruel speed of q Mauser as it passed
through first his arm, then his body.
The idol turned, saw, and approached
the fallen a He was very fond Of the
young fellow, but he did not reach him

And as they began to realize that thi

of a private as readily as he would to tn

WHAT SOUTH DAKOTA THINKS
OF PETTIGREW.

1u view of the rabid attacks of Senator
Pcttigrew on the national administra.
ton, and his course in lauding Aguin.
aldo to the skies as a patriot and a hero,
the Chicago Tribune has secured en-
pressions from it's South Dakota cores
spondents as to the estimation in which
his course is held by South Dakotans.
Some OF these expressions follow.
From Hot Springs:
This community is unreservedly op-
posed to the sentiments and u%tterances
of Senator Pettigrew in upholding
Aguinaldo and the Filipinos as against
the administration.
From Yankton the following:
Senator Pettigrew is..generally looked
on as a disgrace t o the state" remarked
a citizen who has lately travelled over
the state and met and talked with peo-
pie in all lines of business. The papers
of both parties are denouncing and ridi-
culing the senator.
Mitchell says:
His attack upon the administration is
deeply dcplored, and, taken altogether,
his course is severely condemned by the
great majority.
Aberdeen sends the following:
The people of this part of South Da-
kota regard Senator Pettigrew's course
with shame and modification and none
entertain this feeling more keenly than
the volunteers of the First regiment who
did such gallant service in the PHILIPPINES
Vermillion says:
With the exception of a few radical
populists the people of Clay county look
at Senator Pettigrew as a man who is
facing inevitable downfall, and, knowing
it, has given his spitefulncss full sway,
in hope that he can injure the republi-
can party.
From Pierre:
Only the most radical populists in
dorse Senator Pettigrew's utterances.
The republicans are Disguised with his
prctense of representing the state.
Senator Peitigrew, when he comes to
deal with the people of South Dakota at
the next senatorial election will learn
whether or not South Dakota desires to
be represented in the senate as it has
been for the vast few years.

Henry Clews, in discussing the South
African situation, reaches Il conclusion
that forces itself upon thoughtful men
everywhere when he says:
The British army seems to lack gener-
alship adapted to grapplc with the Beers
and their mountain region fortified DO
s,tlons, which appear to be almost i'm
~pregnable. The Beers have shown them
selves to be bold and fierce fighters, good
rifle shooters, and to possess lots of en-
durancc, besides which they have not
failed to take advantage of the interval
between the Jameson raid and the pres
ent period to prepare for the emergency:
whereas, the British up to the commence
ment OF the war simply did nothing in
preparation for it, hence their present
disadvantage and apparent lack of STRAIT
egical generalship. OF course there can
be no doubt of the result in the end, be-
cause the British have the money, they
have the men, and they have the pluck
too; but it does appear to me that the
generals are not quite up to tho mark.
What the British will have to do, T am
inclined to think, to keep their army
abreast Of the times will be to take their
leaders from tho ranks and let merit
have full scope. People of noble birth
are not calculated to make the best CON-
manders on the battlefield. A major
generals rank should be obtained by
valor and merit only and should be left
open to anybody to climb up to. Then a
mans full capacity becomes fully devel-
oped. It was so with Napoleon Bona
parte, Marlborough, Won Moltke and
Grant, who rank, in my opinion, as the
greatest generals that ever lived.

The New York Tribune Almanac for
1900 preserves the record for accuracy,
which this excellent work has always
enjoyed. Making nc haste to get out on
the market first, and thus avoiding the
errors and omissions of some other alma
macs, the Tribune has nevertheless put
forth it's almanac for 1900 promptly, and
has given the public a document on
which people can rely. A useful feature,
besides all the political, financial, and
other statistics Of the year just past, is
found in the reviews of the Wars in the
Transvaal and the Philippines, the Peace
Treaty, the Army Beef scandal, the
Samoan troubles, the Alaskan boundary
matter, the Venezuelan arbitration, the
Mazet Committee investigation in New
York City, and other historical matters.
Not the least of the almanac's attrac-
tons, by the way, is the picture, on the
front cover, of the beautiful Dewey Arch.
Among the lists of names will be found
those of the executive officers of the
United States and the state governments
IA valuable and much commended fca-
ture): Congress: Consuls and American
Ministers: Foreign Ministers in the
United States: U. S. Judges and Dist
riot Attorneys: Superintendent of Pub
lie instruction: presidents of colleges:
heads of patriotic societies, etc.

The marvellous prosperity which the
Northern Pacific continues to enjoy un-
der the management of President Mellen
is shown in the detailed statement for
December and for the past six months
ing December 81. The showing is the
more remarkable in view of the fact
that the road has been obliged to depend
on regular business alone. It has not
yet moved the large wheat crop of last
year, many millions of bushels being now
stored along the system which will he
transported during the coming spring
months. The Great Northern has al
ready benefited from it's wheat freights,
but with that factor to swell it's earnings
the Northern Pacific appears to have
outstripped it.

Editor Shiels, Of Edgeley, now mag
netic healer at Fargo, finds that even
skill at healing has its drawbacks. A
Washington dispatch says:
The filing with Congressman Spald-
ing last week of a petition praying for
the removal Of Chester H. Shiels from
his position as postmaster at Edgeley,
LaMoure county, and the appointment
in his stead of Charles H. Gunthrop, is
the initial step to what promises to de-
velop into an acrimonious political fight
of considerable local Importance. In
June of last year Mr.. Shiels went to
Missouri, ostensibly to work up immigra-
ton sentiment, but really for the purpose
of taking a course of study in magnetic
healing at the Weltmer institute in that
state. Some two OF three months ago
he removed from Edgeley to Fargo,
where he launched into the practice of
the healing art. The postoffice was left
in charge of his newspaper partner, T.
NJ. Hancock. The latter is a democrat
and for that and other reasons is said to
be persona non gratato the patrons of the
office.

A favorable report will be made to
congress on the free homestead bill,
which provides among other things that
"all settlers under the homestead laws
upon public lands acquired prior to the
passage Of the act by treaty or agree
ment from various Indian tribes, and
who have resided upon such lands in
good faith for the period required by law
shall be entitled to patent therefor upon
payment to the local land offices of the
usual and customary fees, and no other
or further charge shall be required from
such settler to entitle him to patent for
land covered by his entry" There is a
proviso that settlers may commute their
entries in accordance with the home
stead law, and also that all sums released
which if not released would belong to
any Indian tribe shall be paid to the
Indians by the United States, end also
that if the proceeds OF the annual sales
of public lands shall not be sufficient to
meet the payments already provided for
agricultural colleges and experimental
stations the deficiency is to be paid by
the United States.

in North Dakota for the support of a
school of forestry the senate committee
on public lands gives a short and interss
esting history of the public land grants
of the northwest and tells why the bill
ought to become a law. The report also
includes the memorial to congress from
the North Dakota legislature. Here is
the most important section from the re-
port:
BY the act to admit North Dakota into
the union there were granted to the
state, in addition to other lands, 10000
acres for educational and charitable pur-
poses other than therein named. These
lands, by a provision in the constitution
of North Dakota, were divided as follows:
Twenty thousand acres to the hospital for
the insane, 10000 acres for the soldiers
home, 10000 acres for a blind asylum,
10000 acres for al industrial school of
manual training and 10000 acres for a
scientific school. This exhausted the
grant and left nothing for the school of
forestry, which was to be located at Bot
tineau.
Your committee does not deem it me-
cessary to eXpatiate on the necessity of
the encouragement of schools Of forestry
and the advantages to be derived from
the proper knowledge of tree culture in
which the proper planting and cultiva-
ton of trees e SO much to the de-
vclopment of the country. Much has
been done by the division of forestry, in
the agricultural department, and still
more can be done by the encouragement
of institutions such as that located at
Bottineau.

LANGUAGE OF FISHES.

Some time ago Matthias Dunn, Cornish fishing expert, wrote an article on The Seven Senses in Fishes,' which contained a few stories and theories that were generally received with notes of interrogation. Among these was an opinion that fishes emit sounds which are understood by their fellows.
 This surprising theory has now been confirmed by Prof. Kollicker of the Naples acquarium, who has wrapped himself in diving suit and has been let down to the bottom of the Mediter- ranean in an iron cage lit up by cleo tricity. With the aid of a powerful re- ceiver and a specially constructed photograph he has registered the ex- pressions of surprise with which the fish welcome his appearance. He notes that the sound made by one fish diff fers greatly from that of another. and has summed up the result of his experi- ment in the conviction that the sounds produced by fishes will yet be recog- nized as a language.-Golden Penny Magazine.

FOREST RESERVE
Report of E. c. Bunch toS. R. V. Water
 Supply Protective Assn.

Salt River Valley Water Supply Pro- tectiVe Association, Gentlemen: I herewith submit to you such facts as I have learned. by personal observation while making Q tour of inspection Jf the "Black Mesa Forest reserve"
 l am particularly impressed with the vast area at the western part of this reserve in which the people of this val ley are interested.
 It is generally known that the south line of the reserve is very near to the rim of what is vaguely described as TontO Basin, for distance of about eighty miles. The surface flow of all this portion of the forest reservation is nOrthward to the Little Colorado river Hence the argument that we are in no way interested in this part of the ressr- vation.
 l find, however, that under the Rim the altitude is fully as low as that of the Little Colorado river which is fifty miles away.
 I am convinced that a greater amount of the water which falls upon this part of the MoSollons eventually finds it's way into the Salt river by the numer- ous springs under the Rim, and the

PHILOSOPHY OF PRESERVATION.

There are many troubles which you cannot cure by the Bible and the hymn book" said Henry Ward Beech CT. but which you can cure by good precipitation and @ breath of fresh air"
 There is a large paradox in the phil osophy of precipitation. The hotter the healthy human body becomes the more freely it perspires. and yet the more freely it perspires the cooler it grows.
 Many persons try to keep cool by avoiding all necessary exercise and lounging in the shade. That is entirely unphilcsophical Perspiration, instead of being symptom of suffering from the heat, is Q sign of relief therefron. And it may be accepted by all persons in normal health that moderate exer- else, sufficient to induce a liberal moist ening Of the skin. is the best specific that can be prescribed for their daily use in hot weather. None suffer more torture on a sultry day than those who make it their special effort to avoid erspiring.-New York World.
