IN+SOUTH DAKOTA.
Springfield, S. D., A4ay 25.-John A.
Burbank, the fourth governor of the
territory of Dakota, is in the city at
tending to his business interests. He
now lives in Indiana. He was gov
ernor of the Dakotas from 1860 to
1874, the period of beginnings, when
the first railroad was built into the
territory, and when the first telegraph
instrument clicked within her borders.
He is bowed wit nearly f%our-scare
years, yet he retains the vigor of mind
Of a man Of miuule age.
Il always had faith in Dakota said
Mr.. Burbank, land in the evidences of
thrift l see on every hand as I pass
through the state on what is probably
my last visit, I think that I can see in
her the empire state of. the north
west. The marvellous richness of her
soil, her great mineral wealth, and the
possibilities that lie hidden in her di-
versified industries, are sure to make
her one of the great commonwealth
of the United States-great not only
in material but in the adj
vanced position she will take in things
intellectual and moral"

HERD1NG sTOCK.

Darlington, May 24.-Two large
herds of cattle have been collected and
are run in the hills for the summer.
Many farmers have more stock than
they can care for on their farms and
they put them in herds for the season.
the charge being 81 a head. One herd
consists of 500 and the other Of 600
animals. Were it not for this method
OF handling stock many would be un-
able to care for the large number they
40 under this system. The care Of
the herds is a heavy responsibility as
the herders are responsible for loss of
all stock. Farmers have heretofore
put their stock with small herders and
losses have not been made good.

BURNED H BOOZE.
SHERIFF OF HIGHLAND COUNTY
DESTROYS OUTFIT SEIZED IN
THE RECENT LIQUOR RAID.

SHERIFF OF RICHLAND COUNTY
DESTROYS OUTFIT SEIZED IN
THE RECENT LIQUOR RAID.
Wahpeton, May 2%G.-Judge Lauder
issued the inal order in the cases of
the state against Jack Harper and
Henry Schoenborn, whose saloons
were closed by %injunctions a few
weeks ago. The order directed the
sheriff to destroy all the property de-
scribed in the judgment roll, consist
ing of bar fixtures, counters, tables,
glasses, liquor, etc., which we're in the
building and used for and in the sale
of liquors at the time the places were
taken in charge of ny the sheriff.
In pursuance of this order, the sher-
if and a force of men took the stuff
to a vacant piece of ground west of the
Milwaukee depot, where it was all
piled up and publicly set on fire.
There were four dray loads of the
stuff, among which were several gal
Ions of whisky, and this was poured
over the pile causing it to burn more
fiercely. The bar fixtures in the
Schoenborn place were very fine, all
hard wood with elegant trimmings, a
splendid refrigerator especially made
for the purpose and were estimated to
fbe worth about $500. The stuff taken
from the other place was not nearly
as expensive, but with the glasses,
liquors and fixtures represented an
outlay of about $3.50, all of which was
completely destroyed in less than two
hours.
Owing to the early hour chosen to
destroy the property only about a
dozen persons besides the officers were
out to witness the destruction. The
work was commenced about 5 O'Clock
and before half past seven the stuff
had all been consumed.
This is the first time in the history
of the county that property has been
destroyed under the prohibition law
by the order of the court, and it proves
to be the most effectual method of
dealing with the nuisance, as it seems
that the men engaged in the business
are more hurt by the destruction of a
few dollars worth of property than
they are over a Jail sentence of six
months or more.

THE NEW YORK FA1h11RE

New York, May 25.-It is stated on
the cotton exchange this morning that
the suspension of the firm of Price,
Mccormick & Co., is not likely to SER
iously involve other members. Ad-
vices from Liverpool are encouraging
inasmuch as the failure to indicate the
furry that had been looked for.
Among the best informed people the
opinion extends that the Price, Nc
Cormick & Co. outstanding contracts
on exchange do not exceed $500, 900.

SWIPED
INDIAN FROM NORTH DAKOTA
PLAYS LOCKINVAR AND IS

CAUGHT.
Winnipeg, Man., May GA gallant
young Sioux from North Dakota ar
rived at Moosejaw a few days ago to
visit his sweetheart. He was gladly
welcomed and they wished to marry.
The father of the girl thought her too
young, however, and would not give
his permission.
The Indian appeared to take the
matter quietly, but at night he secured
two horses and induced the girl to
elope with him. The angry father
gave chase, and, having a swift horse,
caught up with the clippers. They re-
fused to stop, however, and he shot
the horse ridden by the young Indian
and then had little difficulty in secur-
ing his daughter. The girl is only 16
years of age. The father promised
the young people they might marry
after two years had elapsed.

INDUSTRIAL REPORT.
Senator Kyle's Committee Makes .
Report of Legislation for Uniform
Labor Law.
Deals With Relative Rights Of EN-.
ployers and Employees in Strikes
and Labor Troubles.
Several Members of the Commission
Do Not Think Uniform Labor Laws
Are Feasible.

Washington, May 25.-The indus
trial commission of which Senator
Kyle is chairman, submitted to con-
gress today a report on general labor
legislation. Among the recommen-
dations are that no person under 10
be employed as railroad operator, that
engineers and switchmen be examined
for color blindness, and that intoxi-
cation be made a misdemeanor of an
engineer or switchman on duty. All
states should provide that laborers be
paid in cash. The practice of award
ing blanket injunctions against mum
o unnamed defendants as we'll as
the practice of indirectly enforcing a
contract for personal services by en-
joining employees from quitting work
should be discouraged. The import
ing and sale of convict made goods
from one state to another should be
prohibited. 1t is urged that con-
gress adopt a consistent code of laws
regulating all matters concerning the
employment of railway labor. That
the right to be employed and employed
without belonging to a union be pre-
served and that making it a penal Of
Tense for an employer to exclude union
labor only is unconstitutional. The
statute should apply to union and non
union labor alike. That a strike
shall always be legal except when con-
Quoted on a public employment in such
manner as to injure public safety.
That boycott always is illegal, and
sometimes criminal. A reasonable
statute is urged to prevent abuses Of
the uses of the private dete ,tives. 1t
recommends the establishment in all
states of labor bureaus. Congress-
men Smith and Harris and Senator
Daniel did not concur, believing uni
form labor laws to be impracticable.

EARLIER NEWS.

LONDON, May 2u, o:3O a. m.-Ihe
latest intelligence from Lord Roberts
headquarters at Vredsfort station, filed
Thursday at $40 p. M, was that the
British was rapidly advancing. Gen.
Hamilton had effected a junction with
Lord Roberts. The country in front
of them was clear of Beers to Viljoens
Drift. The Beers were evacuating
all their positions. sou.-- of the Vaal
river and that 5000 had already
crossed to the north bank. Probably
Gen. French's cavalry is already re-
connoitering the fords of the Vaal.
The war Office observers expect that
the dispatch from the field marshal
will be dated in sight of the Trans
vaal frontier. Mr.. Bennett Burleigh,
wiring to the Daily Telegram from
Vredsfort Thursday morning said
Lord Roberts would doubtless cross
the Vaal river Saturday or Sunday.
The British outposts were then at
Erste Geluk. nine miles north of
Fredsfort and 20 miles south of the
Vaal river. The railway is much
damaged. While the British in over
whelming force are thus rapidly ap-
preaching the Transvaal, the move
ments of the Beers are enveloped in
mystery. The last Pretoria news
paper to reach Lourenzo Marques was
a week old. Every one seeking to
cross the Portuguese border from the
Transvaal is searched for newspapers
and letters. Dispatches and mail let
ters containing ever harmless refer
ences to the war are suppressed, the
only news that emerged from Trans
vaal during the last ten days has come
by word of mouth. According to these
oral reports yesterday, the Beers were
quarreling among themselves. Trans
vaal paper money was circulated at
50 per cent discount. Beckets' firm
was giving one pound in gold for five
pounds in paper. Krouse and Klinke,
the engineers who opposed the blow
ing up Of the mines have been dis
missed. Commandant Schultz had
been appointed to defend Johannes.
burg, and all the British subjects had
been turned out. The Transvaalers
fear that the British will blow up the
bridge at Komati Poort, thus cutting
off their supplies from Delagoa and a
commando of 500 is guarding the
bridge against any such attack by
British raiders. 1t is asserted that
President Kruger will retire to Lyden-
burg while fighting is imminent at Jo-
ha%nnesburg and Pretoria. Concern
is expressed at Pretoria with reference
to the possibility that Gen. Darlington
may come down from Rhodesia with
5000 men, to cooperate with as many
more entering the Transvaal by way
OF Mafeking. Horse sickness is said
to have broken out among General
Carrington's animals.

NOTES R GOOD.
SUPREME COURT so HOLDS, AL

SUPREME COURT so HOLDS, AL
THOUGH INSURANCE CON-
TRACTS WE'RE VOID.
The supreme court has filed an opin-
ion in the case of Mooney and Cham
pine, respondents, VS. Owen Williams,
appellant, appealed from the judgment
of the district Court of Grand Forks
county. The decision is one of in
terest as it construes section 1866 of
the Revised Codes, which pronounces
void all contracts of foreign insurance
companies made within this state,
where such companies have not COM
piled with the laws of the state and
obtained certificates of authority from
the insurance commissioner. This
action was brought upon a note given
by Williams to the Realty Revenue
Guaranty Co. of Minneapolis, and by
that company Endorsed before matur-
ity to the plaintiffs for value. The
lower court found that the indorse-
ment was in due course, in good faith
and for value, and gave the plaintiffs
Judgment, Notwithstanding the fact
that the note was given for the prem
ium on a policy Of insurance written
upon the property within this state
and before the company had complied
with our laws. The supreme court
affirms that judgment, and settles the
question that negotiable instruments
though given for contracts which are
declared void, will be upheld in the
hands of innocent purchasers thereof
before maturity. D. A. Lindsay and
j. G. Galbraith appeared for the ap-
pellant, and Joseph Cleary of Lang
don and John E. Greene OF Fargo for
respondents.

(The following was cabled over to
the Tribune this morning by Alfred
Austin, whose poem on the relief of
Mafeking has been so severely criti-
cised.):
On the glad morning when
Freed from their prison den
Stubborn, heroic men,
sang a song sweet.
Little then did l reck
Critics would stride it's neck
Till every little speck
Was chopped to mince-meat-
All, the sad, fatal day, ;
When in my graceful way !
l welded, as a fray,
Mafeking with Delhi, /
AS smeared thick the ink, h
Never once did l think
l would see link on link ;
Smashed to a jelly. +,
Not a kind word l see /,
Scathing the roasts and free, !
All critics do agree
That it is yellow
Horrible! Everyone
Says it is badly done,
Some say apes Tennyson
Some say L%ongfellow.
AS my Door song is f1ayed (
Had the Beers battle blade
Been half as harshly laid
On Mafeking, smitten,
That brave, heroic band
Must have surrendered and
That poor verse from my hand
Had not been written.
