then, il he desires old times, with old

| CHALLENGE TO
SEIlTOR PETTlCREW.
A Cowboy Rcsents the Insinuation,
Made Against Col. Roosevelt.

Sioux Falls, s. D., is Senator Petit
Crews home, and the Senator said in a
recent speech there that Col. Roosevelt
did not lead his regiment at San Juan
Hill, but was six miles in the rear. At
the recent Roosevelt meeting in the town
many of Col. Roosevelt's old regiment
came to greet him, some Of them trav-
cling quite a distance, and one rough
rider came $50 miles. This particular
cowboy heard Of Senator Pettigrew's ut
terance for the first time while in Sioux
Falls, and mounting his horse he would
ride to street corner and issue this chal-
lenge:
Ladies and Gentlemen-I have heard
that there are people in this town who
say Col. Roosevelt was away in the rear
at San Juan and did not lead his regi-
ment in the charge that was made that
day. was in that regiment and follow
ed Col. Roosevelt up that hill. Ny cap
tain was killed and several Of my COM
pany. I saw that fight. was in it.
Whoever says that Col. Roosevelt did not
lead his regiment in that charge is liar,
scoundrel, coward and dare not tell
me so to my face"
Then he would wait minute, ride to
the next block and repeat the same chal-
lenge.
The incident will keep Senator Petit
grew quiet for awhile. He may be kept
! busy in explaining what he meant.

BRTII'S llIT SDED
HOPES AID FEARS.
His Expectations Based on Hopes ttat
Others Will FORGET.

Bryan argues that the Constitution ex-
tends in full by its own force to every
foot Of land under the American flag.
He hopes that the American people won
find out before November that the United
States courts, from the lowest to the
highest, have decided by overwhelming
and irresistible decisions that he is
wrong.
He is running on platform declaring
for the fraud Of free silver. He hopes
that the gold Democrats who have re-
turned to the Democratic party on the
issue of Imperialism will not cease to
believe in his readiness to betray it.
He is running on platform on which
imperialism is said to be the paramount
issue. He hopes that the silver men
won't take this portion Of the platform
seriously.
He is running as Democrat. He
hopes the Populists won't lay it up
against him.
He is running as Populist. He hopes
the Democrats will forget it.
He is running as a silver Republican
He hopes that the silver Republicans,
mainly men Of the West, won't give him
up because Of their belief in expansion.
He is running as the avowed friend Of
Aguinaldo. He hopes that this won't
drive the American votes against him.
So every Democratic hope Of 1900 has
error or humbug back of it.

THIRTY TONS OF PENNIES
SAVED BY CHILDREN.

Chicago's Penny Savings Society has
only been established for few years,
but it's deposits have increased as fol-
lows:
Year ending June 80, 1893. 80. .$19, 140
Year ending June 80, 1899. 800. 1880
Year ending June 80, 1900. 49,. 71,793
William c. HOLSTER, who is acting
president Of the Chicago Penny Savings
Society, says that it is operated entirely
on a philanthropic basis and supported
by voluntary contributions. There are
only two salaried officers, young ladies,
at the office in the Schiller building.
This system is in operation only in half
the schools in Chicago, yet the amount
Of money deposited by the children last
year averaged 80 cents for every child
in the Chicago school district, and 60
cents per capita for all the children in
the schools in which the Penny Savings
Society is operated.
The weight Of last years savings was
thirty tons Of American pennies, an enor-
nous mass Of money for the little ones to
put by in the banks within one year.
| It will be noticed that the increase be-
tween the amount deposited in 1898 and
1899 was 20 per cent. But between 1899
and the year just ended the increase in
the amount Of pennies deposited was con-
siderably more than 100 per cent.
| The children would certainly not be
able to save their pennies if their par
ents did not have the money to give
them, and the exhibit made by tie Chi
cago Penny Savings Society is certain

Chicago have experienced more and more

ANOTHER PARAMOUNT ISSUE
Mistaken.

He said: "You shall not toss
Mankind upon cross
OF shining gold"
''Nor press his brow with thorns,
Nor tread upon his corns
When he is old
He said "No fires will burn,
No wheels, no spindles turn,
Without my hand
Is at the nations helm;
Dictator Of the realm
Chief of the band
He said .'the metal white
Is strictly in the fight
Il lugged it in).
We're on free silver bent,
Without the worlds consent
And it will win"
The voters heard him shout,
Then straightway went about
To give him fits;
They said 1--WE want no stuff
Half money and half bluff.
A dollar worth four bits"
It took his breath away
When the people had their say
In NOV.
But he's got his second wind,
Thinks he'll not again be skinned;
Wait and see.

Prosperity for Wheat Growers

Prosperity for Wheat Growers
When the Democrats were experiment.
ing with free trade in the United States
the consumption Of wheat was BAL bush
els per capita. That was in 1894. In
1899, under the Mckinley administration,
the consumption was $50 bushels per
capita. This is ample demonstration to
the farmer as to how prosperous manu-
featuring interests bring prosperity to the
wheat grower

BoER ENJOYS TO MAKE A TOUR.
10 Begin n Campaign of Education
on the Transvaai War.

The Boer Commissioners. Messrs. Fisch-
er. Wolmarans and Vessels, have de-
cided upon propaganda which viii proba-
bly, embrace the whole of the United
States. 1t was announced this morning
by the three envoys tAat the party will
start on it's trip the latter part Of the
week. The whole purpose OF the campaign
will be to educate the Americans in knowl-
edge OF the war and its causes as seen
from Boer points of view.
The canvass, which promises to be one
of the most extraordinary in the history of
the nation. Will be under the direct man
agemens Of the ENJOYS themselves They
deny that any organization-even the Boer
National Relief AssOciation-will have
charge of their crusade. They paTJicu-
larry repudiate tie idea that they are allied
with any political party. The propaganda.
they declare is in the interests only of
truth. and they say they know neither
Democrat nor Republican. Administration
nor administration.
Just what they expect TO gain by the
propaganda is not made clear. but they
seem 10 feel that by arousing the American
people a sentiment may be created which
will influence the Government or at worst
may show England that this country viii
receive with disapprOval any terms of peace
in which a settlement giving some degree
of satisfaction TO the Beers is not made.
The ENJOYS are almost destitute of details
regarding their trip. They have received
invitations from all of the big cities Of the
county between the two oceans, and their
trip will probably extend to California.
Up TO the present time, however, they have
net decided which place shall be visited
first. AS they have plenty OF time on hand,
it would not be surprising should the cru
sade extend far into the fall, if the war
continues for such a length Of time.
The delegates were entertained last night
at dinner by Senator Pettigrew. They had
lunch to-day with Mr. Secretary Hay.
Mr.. Hay has been very favorably i'm
pressed with the three visitors and since
they have decided not to present creden-
tials of a diplomatic character, the Ad
ministraJon may show the distinguished
visitors all the courtesies which respect
can suggest The luncheon tOday follows
the same spirit which led the President 70
