SOUTH DAKOTA's WIND CAVE.
1T is So Extensive That Some People
Say the State is Hollow.

1t is So Extensive That Some People
Say the State is Hollow.
The good people of South Dakota re-
gard Wind Cave as the tenth wonder
of the world From surface indications
it would seem that large part of the
state is hollow, and the extent of Wind
Cave is unknown. IT was discovered in
1877 by a notorious character known as
Lame Johnny" who distinguished
himself on several occasions by holding
up the Deadwood stage and ambushing
caravans of unwary travellers. His
lack of produce in one of these adven-
lures resulted in q ''necktie party
which ended Johnny's career; SO that
he was not able to profit by his discov-
cry. J. B. Mcdonald undiscovered the
phenomenon in 1884 by finding large
gap in the plain through which the
wind was pouring out with great force
like the draught of a chimney. There
are similar vent holes a frequent ms
tervals over the prairie, and the peo-
pie of this neighborhood claim that sew
eral have been opened within the last
few years.
The cave is divided into chambers. 1t
is asserted that more than 5000 differ
ent rooms have already been discover
cd, varying in size from twelve feet In
diameter to over three acres, and this
is believed to be only small portion
of the cavern The cave ceiling is not
so high as that of Mammoth Cave, and
the geologic formations are not as
wonderful as those of Luray, but it has
many attractions. and one in particu-
lar-the dryness of the atmosphere
which is said to afford instant and
complete relief to asthmatic people.
The temperature of the cave is about
45 degrees the year round, being unaf-
fected by the variations of the Their
mometer outside but the variations of
the barometer are sharply perceptible.
When the mercury rises on the outside
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1900-08-20

a current of air flows into the cave ana
follows a certain direction. When the
glass fails this current changes and the
air flows in another direction. This
phenomenon has not been studied by
competent meteorologists, but Is $50 ap-
parent that 1t attracted the attention OF
he early explorer of he canon.
The effect of the air of the cave upon
asthmatic people is equally peculiar. "A
sufferer from the disease finds imme-
date relief upon entering the cave, and
there will be no return of the trouble
for several days after. This has sug-
gested the possibility of permanent
cure for such as can have the prlVl-
lege of visiting the cave frequently, and
hotel is planned for their accommo-
dation.-From the Chicago Record.

OHIO DEMOCRATS.
They Want National Headquarters Estab-

Columbus, O., June 13.-The Demo-
cratic state convention met today. Por-
traits of Bryan, Thurman, Jackson and
Mclean We're conspicuous. Webster p
Huntington, of Columbus, was named
temporary secretary. Resolutions that
denounce Imperialism, declare that
neither congress nor the president can
exercise any powerwhatever not derived
from the constitution; denounce the
Porto Rican tariff bill as a ''palpable
violation of the doctrines of the fathers
and the fundamental principles of our
government which is based upon equal
rights to ALL; favor the removal of all
duties from imports monopolized by the
trusts; demand an enactment and the
enforcement of such legislation as will
prevent every species of Determinations
denounce the currency law passed b!
the present congress; demand that the
general government shall not only coin
metals but issue and regulate the volume
of paper currency also in the interest
of all people, and all currency intended
to circulate as money shall be legal ten
der and be maintained at parity of
value and be regulated with view to
maintaining stable price levels and safe
business conditions; instruct delegates
for Bryan for president. A resolution
was adopted requesting the Ohio delega-
tion to present o proposition to the ma
tional Democratic committee to locate
its headquarters at Columbus.
The Dayton and the Cleveland con-
tests, both resulting from local fights,
caused a bitter discussion. The Wilson
delegates from Cleveland were seated,
as were also the Bowling delegates from
Dayton. The former are classed as
anti-McLean and the latter for Mclean.

TOOK Her OWN LIFE.
A Ration Woman Who Tried to Organize a
Suicide Society.

Mrs. Herman Collins, wife OF fire.
man at Ration, took her own life yester.
day afternoon by taking strychnine. As
far as can be learned there was no
motive for the act, as her home life was
apparently happy, with o devoted hus-
band and little 2-year-old son. There
are, however, good reasons for believing
that Mrs. Collins made efforts to organ
ize suicide society, failing in which
she took her own life as an example to
those she tried to have 90 on before.
Mrs. Collins was 23 years old, and this
was her third attempt at self-destruc-
tion, friends having interceded on the
former occasions to induce her to live a
while longer
