1t is said that Senator Pettigrew has
made something less than a million by
specializing on Wall street since CON
gress adjourned. s25O,OoO is the sum
stated that he has cleaned up. We
have heard it said that no mar can ac-
quire wealth atthat rate and be honest,
but those who think thusly would not
accuse Pettigrew of dishonesty.
Sanford Dodge and company pre-
sented Quo Vadis Wednesday night to
a we'll filled house, and greatly pleased
the crowd. MIR. Dodge has SO capti-
waited the people thas he is pretty GER
tain to have a good full house now
whenever he comes this way. His
plays are all of an exceptionally high
order and his splendid company is we'll
adapted to that class of plays. Our
people will always look forward to San
ford Dodge's coming with delight.

Mr.. Prizes of Chicago, who has been
sent out by the commissioners of the
general land office as assistant to Col.
G. w. Greene, spent the first of the
week here. He was delighted with the
beauties of Wind Cave and hopes it
will not remain closed long. Mr.. Prizes
is a much-traveled Englishman and a
charming conversationalist and enter
tanned his listeners at the Cabin We'd
nesday evening with many delightful
tales of the sea, having served eight
years of his youth as a sailor. or all
the countries he has visited he pro-
nounces Australia the paradise of the
earth, on account of the climate and
the customs of the people, for there
they never fret or worry about the sal
mighty dollar" For instance il there
is any kind of sport in the afternoon,
such as ball and boat race, everybody
goes; the merchants of all kinds lock
up and 60 as well Us their clerks, and
also whule families. There are no
paupers or tramps. Strange to say
that everybody works aportion oftime.
Ii they will not work they are sent to
Jail to break up rock and pick oakum.
So they soon relent and go to work.
The Jail there is called ''going to drill"
and they don't come to "drill" more
than once. At st. Johns, Newfound-
land, he found this pretty custom
among the people, of always having a
plate and a chair at the table for the
stranger, and being insulted if he did
not accept of the protfered hospitality.
In conversation with MIR. Cavanaugh,
Mr.. Prizes was surprised o hear that his
wife and 'Billy" were born in the same
house in England, and then they did
talk until a woman could not get in a
word edgeways.
