the men are headed for Sioux City and
Omaha, that is, three of them, and the
officials Of these two cities are on the
watch for the escaped prisoners. From
information received at Sioux Falls it is
known that Leroy, Miller and Luverne
are travelling together. Leroy's folks
live near Elk Point and be may be max
ing for their home to lay under cover
for a few days. Dockery is working
directly east, and is likely making for
the Twin Cities, where he has relatives.
The penitentiary officials feel pretty
we'll broken up over the escape of the
men, but have not given up hopes Of re-
capturing them. The country for a ra-
dius of 200 miles around Sioux Falls
has been loaded with pictures and de-

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
On behalf of the people of Sioux Falls,
M. LsssFox, corresponding secretary, has
sent out the following circular relative
to the arrangements for the national
convention at that point:
The people of Sioux Falls are desirous
that the largest possible number of peo-
opl of this state shall attend the Popu-
list National Convention which will be
in session here May 9, 10, II, 10. It
will be the first National Convention Of
1900. Its platform and the candidates
named by it for president and vice pres
ident are looked for with the greatest
interest by the people of the nation.
The distinguished senators. congress
men, orators and leaders of the Peoples
Party in the United States will be pres
ent and speak during the convention.
Many of the great democratic leaders
will be present to watch the deliber-
atoms of the convention. To see, meet
and hear speak so man of the men who
are shaping the political history of this
nation will be rare treat. ..s....s
Excellent bands of music will be on
hand to make music in convention
hail." on the streets and for special oc-
casions.
The railroads will give the lowest
possible rates and excursion trains will
be run from all points in the state
where there will be demand tor them.
Special trains have been arranged for
already by many delegations from the
various states. Some of them will be
accompanied, by special bands of music
and hundreds of visitors who are not
delegates.
The hall will comfortably seat only
about fourteen thousand people. It is
known that there will be demand for
all the seats, and those who want to be
sure OF good seats should avail them
selves of the opportunity to buy them
at once.

BIG MONEY IN SALVAGE.
Enormous Sums Are Obtained for Al
sistinR Disabled Vessels.

Enormous Sums Are Obtained for A.
sistinR Disabled Vessels.
Owing to the high salvage money OBJ
tanned by rendering assistance to dis
abled ship ut sea many steamers and
sailing vessels carry on an irregular
sort of "wrecking business" by always
being on the alert for stranded ships.
4 tramp steamer that could bring a
great transatlantic liner into port in a
disabled condition would realize more
money than its owner would make in
trip across the sea with a full cargo.
In 1892 the City Of Richmond was
towed into Halifax harbor, and cost
her owners $35, 900 in salvage money
In the same winter the City Of Boston
broke her shaft at sea, and her owners
were compelled to pay bill, for tow.
ing and other aid, of $46,5OO. When
the Atlantic liner Paris broke down off
the Irish coast. in 1890, she was towed
into port at an expense of $4,000.
So rich are these prizes that the
:oast wrecking companies frequently
send power full tugs to sea Just after q
storm in search Of disabled vessels. II
81 steamer is several days overdue the
tugs may 90 hundreds Of mikes off the
coast, and in this sense the companies
extend their lat,ors into new fields
pract:cing wrecking upon the high
seas.
When the fest Atlantic liner New
York made her first voyage from the
port of New York she ran aground off
Sandy Hook, and the owner had to pay
nearly 100000 to float her again. An
other of the "Red D" Line steamers
stuck on the Brigant!ne shoals, Off New
Jersey, In 1889, and the wrecking CON-
pany that pulled her off received $4O,-
600 for its services.
The moro recent work of floating the
Aperican liner st. Paul from the sand
off Long Branch recalls the difficulty
Of hauling one If the great transatlan-
tic liners Off a sand bar or mud fiat, the
salvage money amounting to about
100000. .-..'. .

Convicts Escape.

Considerable interest in the escape of
the six convicts from tho penitentiary
at Sioux Falls has been manifested in
Lincoln county the past week as some
if not all were supposed to be in hiding
within a reasonable distance from
Sioux Falls and the bulk of the work of
the searchers thus far has been done
in this county. The escape took place
in the forenoon on Thursday of last
week, the men battering hole in the
east gate while q guard was in the
y guard house over it, and crawling out.
[ A farmer passing by saw the men run
Ming down the hill to the river and
Notified the officials. It was then nec-
essary to call in the convicts and count
them to see who had left without per-
mission, and then it was only discovered
that five were gone, the other not being
missed until in the afternoon. An
exhaustive search of the surrounding
country has been made. which has thus
far proven fruitless. One delegation
of searchers, with blood hounds, was In
this county several days, working to the
southeast, and while it was thought
they were on the scent at different
times, did not succeed in landing the
prey. It is now probable that all are
at safe distance.
Not since the pursuit of the James
and Younger boys, after the robbery
and tragedy at Northfield, Minn., has
this part of the country been so excited
over the pursuit of escaping criminals
as is occasioned by the efforts to recap
ture the men still at large who made so
daring an escape. Posses, farmers, cit
izens of large and small towns, both in
South Dakota and in the neighboring
ewns of Iowa and Minnesota are en-
Eyged in the search. Every highway
and crossroad for miles is being watched
and patroled by men anxious to earn
the reward offered for the apprehension
of the men. Peter Shea, one Of the fu-
gutives, who was captured near Hills,
z Mimi, has been returned to the peni-
/. tentiary. The four yet at large are
Il Harry E. Leroy, William Dockery,
William Miller and Lester Luverne,
the three latter being United States
prisoners Luverne, who is probably
the most desperate character of the lot,
has lame right arm, due TO bullet
wound received in fight with officers
Mhen arrested for the crime for which
he is serving.
4, Two of the three horses stolen in
Sioux Falls by the fugutives were recov-
cred four miles southwest of that town,
where they had been abandoned.
The Sioux City blood hound lost the
scent north of Canton but took it up
s6uth Of town and followed it to Hawar-
den, which was the last heard of the
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1900-04-27

BIG ATTENDANCE EXPECTED.
Many Delegates and Visitors to
the Nations al Convention at Sioux
Falls Will Attend the State Con-
vention at Canton.
The slight furry occasioned by the
circulation of fake rumor last week
to the effect that the state populist con-
vention had been called off did not rise
above the dignity of a furry, as it was
hardly given credence even by people
outside of Canton. Suffice to say, the
convention " ill be held in Canton, the
visitors will be properly entertained and
the biggest, most enthusiastic and i'm
portant convention ever held in this
state will hold the boards at Canton on
Mays
It will be great week in the Sioux
valley. Many from abroad will arrive
here day or two ahead Of the time for
the national convention at Sioux Falls
and will take in the state convention
in this city.
The finance committee report splendid
success and will have ample funds for
successfully carrying out all arrange
ments necessary for the convention.
The convention tent, which will ac-
commodate over 1900 people, will be
put up at central point and seats will
be provided to the full capacity.
Bands of music from Hudson, Lennox
and Canton will enliven matters on the
streets and in the convention tent.
Prof. Burke, of Sioux Falls, will have
charge of the vocal music.
Senators Pettigrew and Butler have
signifed an intention to be present, and
other prominent speakers and party
leaders from different sections of the
country will attend the Canton conven-
ton while in the state for the purpose
of attending the national convention at
Sioux Falls Probably at no time in
our history have matters political occu-
pied or demanded more attention on the
part of the people than at present, and
this fact will be more fully demon
strated at the two conventions about to
be held in this neighborhood.
Congressman Towne has notified the
committee accepting an invitation to be
present and will address the people on
the evening of the 7th.
Railroads will give the lowest possible
rates to the two conventions, and excur-
sion trains will be run to the national
convention from all parts of the state
where there is demand, thus giving
better accommodations for delegates
and visitors to the state convention in
this city.

An Incident with Complications Just

An Incident with Complications Just $
 Little Out of the Usual.
 It always disturbs me-" aaid MT Ellington, Ito see man on the ele- vated road offer his seat to a woman when he is about to get off; he has perhaps let her stand in front of hjn for blocks. and now when he is about to give up his seat anyway he makes show of giving it to her, a curious exhibition of about three- quarters con- eeit and the rest cheek. Usually the woman pays no attention to this man: she takes the seat without thanks without taking any notice of the man whatever. But occasionally there Is a variation of this incident. Sitting in an end corner seat, by the door, was tired man, who, In crowded car had kept his seat seemingly because h3 thought it was right that he should if he had thought it out at all-but who now when he was about to leave, wanted to have the right person get the seat he was leaving. With this Idea in his mind and not with any con- ceit of gallantry, he, when he had risen, touched the sleeve of a young woman who had been standing by the door on the other side of the car op- posite to him, to indicate to her that here was seat. He was slow about this, with the slowness of one tired or unaceustomed to asserting himself, and while he was stepping forward a small boy who had been standing by the door slid in back of him with boy Ish celerity and took the seat. And he kept it New York Sun.

Canadian Otter ,uasu, and Slides Dosvs
 Hill .Ju4t for Fun

Hill Just for Fun
 It seems strange to think that any full grown, four-footad animal should indulge in play like q child, and yet this is what the otter does. His amusement is tobagganing, and his playground is a slope, covered with ice or snow, that goes down grade into a pool of water. No little boy, with new sled, ever enjoyed a coast down an ice-bound hill more than this beau- tiful creature from the frozen n 'sn. The otter is quite large, sometimes weighing as much as 25 pounds. He resembles the seal and the mink, be- ing, however, of heavier build, and is both supple and strong. Living for the most part in water, he preys on fish, which his swimming and diving ability enables him to catch easily. The entrance to his home, which is burrow in the bank of a stream, Is Snder the water In the early spring when the ice begins to thaw, these animals start on their travels from one stream to another, sometimes spend- ing months on the journey. If they happen to see an inviting hill by the wayside they immediately stop their pilgrimage and prepare for some sport. One of the number leaves the water and slowly climbs the slope, making a smooth hollow in the ice with his wet body. When the slide is pre- pared, he lies fiat on his belly, thrusts his nose forward, and turning his fore paws under his soft sides, goes sail- ing swiftly down. His speed steadily increases until he reaches the water. Silently he parts the surface and is lost from sight for a few seconds; then his head appears above the surface and you can hear him give call which sounds like whistle. This is a sig. nal The next otter assumes the posi- tIon and shoots down to the bottom to join his companion, who has mean. while crawled out on the ice. Then another whistle and the next in ordes slides and plunges, and the perform ance Is kept Up until each one has seya$al trips to his credit.-Exchange

One clothing company at Anderson with branch stores at Pendleton, and tha Wagner Glass Works, with offices It Anderson and factory at Ingalls,, are 1stDg this barp7wire system in thelr business affairs exclusively They use he line frequently. They can convert into 2 private line by plugs so ar- 'anged that when one party is using !he line he can cut out all others except n MT. Alleys residence, which is used 4s central station. It is no eyag- seratioQ to say that this barb-wirs telephone system is quite as satisfae- -ory aE the copper circuit Of the Bell. Ordinary phones are used with no peciai strength of battery and there k very little trouble with the lines. il constructing the line Mir.

In some instances where he posts had rotted 1t was necessary Q paint the wire and posts with rub- ter paint to insulate the wire. The whole line of fifteen miles was built 1t cost of about s100, and the outfit for each house, consisting of receiver, transmittef, battery, call, etc, costs not over BIO. The line has been in operation since December P, and has not been out of order except for few hours when fast train on the raIl. way track struck COW, threw her cody against the fence and broke the wire
