ATTACK ON kA,sER
Bremen workma Throws Piece OF
Iron at the Emperor.

Bremen Workman Throws Piece of
Iron at the Emperor.
Emperor William arrived in Berlin last
Thursday morning. In the attack upon
the emperor by Dietrich Weiland, while
the former was driving from the rath-
skeller to the railway station in Bremen,
the emperor was struck OH the cheek just
below the right eye by a piece of iron. He
was not seriously injured, and continued
his journey. Nothing new was discovered
in connection with the examination of
Weiland. He apparently pretends TO
know nothing of the occurrence. He is
evidently weak minded.
Count Won Ballestrem, president of the
reichstag, in communicating to that body
the news of the attack on Emperor Will
lam, expressed in behalf of the house the
horror felt at the ahominable act and
thanked God for having preserved the en-
peror and the country from grievous mis-
fortune, and prayed their beloved monarch
might soon be restored to health and that
God would keep his majesty under his
protection. The members of the reichstag
in attendance stood during the presidents
speech. The social democrats were not
present.
In b lower house of the Prussian diet
President o kroecher announced that
the emperor's wound was not serious, but
that he would be obliged to keep to his
bed for several days. The president also
expressed horror at the damnable act and
called for three hochs for his majesty,
which were given with enthusiasm.

A TORNADO In TEXAS
WINTER CYCLONE THE CAUSE
OF GREAT DESTRUCTION.
Four Persons Killed Outright aud
Many Others Injured at Wills
Point Wind Storm Does Much
Damage in Chicago.

a cyclone passed through the west side
of Wills Point, Texas, at ii o'clock Satur-
day morning, demolishing everything in
IFS track. -Four persons are dead and
about twenty injured. Fourteen dwelling
houses were entirely ruined and IL number
OF others are badly wrecked. The public
school building is a total wreck. The cot
ion Oil mill is damaged, and the largest
GIN plant is in ruins. Wires are blown
down and poles and fences leveled.
A freight car was blown of the track.
The property loss is about $4,000 which
is a conservative estimate.
Black cyclone clouds had been hanging
in the southwest all morning. The at
mosphere was heavy, and at intervals
there had been showers of rain. 1t was
Just at noon when there was a loud roar
or rumbling of thunder with a puff of wind
and then the air was thick with flying tim
oers. The cyclone came from the SOUTH
west and held to a straight northeast
course. Its path was about 800 yards
vide. 1t struck the northwest quarter of
the town in the residence section. No
house is left whole, those that are not ir-
reparably ruined are in the minority.
Most of them are demolished. Household
furniture and utensils are strewn farther
b the eye can reach, and they mark the
storms path.
The storm did great damage in the coun-
try districts southwest and northeast of
Wills Point. 1t is feared that many lives
have been lost in the farming communities
and villages.

Plans for Celebration OF that Towns
Quarter Centennial.
The plans for the quarto-centennial car
nival that is to be held in Deadwood the
first part OF July are assuming large pro-
portions. New features are being added
which will be the means of attracting peo-
pie from all parts Of the country.
A committee of four Deadwood men, A.
T.. Hornberger, Col. w. j. Thornby, John
r. Burns and w. ii. Bonham, has been
appointed to go to Pine Ridge agency to
confer with Indian Agent John X. Bren-
nan about getting 100 Indians from the
reservation to take part in the festival.
There will be n difficulty in getting the
Indians, since Agent Brennan is one of the
first of the pioneers of the Hills.
The program committee has also ar
ranged to have a mineral palace of six
rooms, one room for each county in the
Hills. A complete collection of minerals
and products of all kinds will be exhibited.
Invitations will he extended to the gov
ernors and chief officials of all the western
states. A big excursion will be arranged
from Colorado points and special induce
ments will be made to get people from the
eastern part of this state to attend. The
carnival will be in commemoration of the
tw%enty-fifth anniversary of the settlement
of the Black Hills. 1t is expected that
Lead City will join with Deadwood, which
will make it possible to entertain q, 900
visitors.

SAY NEGRO SLAVERY EXISTS.
Astounding Condition Said to Have
Been Discovered i'm Caroltno.

Assouuuan& CONDITION Said to Have
Been Discovered in Carolina.
The grand jury of Anderson County,
Carolina, made its report to Judge w. c.
Bennett at Columbia last Thursday and
declared that a practical enslavement of
negroes has been conducted in that cou,,-
ty. The %presentment was prepared by a
special committee, which visited the con-
vict stockade camps in Anderson County,
and it is alleged found confined there ne.
groes guiltless Of any felony, hut UNDER
going a term of servitude under voluntary
contracts which they had signed in partial
Ignorance. The charge of false imprison-
ment was made against j. S. Fowler, p.
b. Allen and w. @. Hammond, three Of
the largest planters and most influential
men in Anderson County. The grand jury
declared that three men who employed
convicts from the state were also keeping
confined in their stockades negroes who
for some petty cause had beer sent there,
although convicted by no officer of the law.
The negroes in the county are under the
impression that all labor contracts now in
existence are practically nullitied by the
action of the court, mi there is a general
state of decentralization just at the time
when crops are being planted.
I'VE will deal with this matter without
outside help" said Judge Bennett. 'tThe
testimony of negroes is valid evidence in
the state courts. There are no politics. no
party or race issues at stake. 1t is the
righting of a grievous wrong and the court
protests against the idea of outside inter-
ference. The evil will be stamped out, for
public sentiment at home is against it,

MUST PAY Town LICENSE.
De ctsion OF Interest in q Ltquor
Case &C Geddes.

DecestOn OF Interest In Q Liquor
Case at Geddes.
Judge Smith made q ruling at Yankton
March 9 that is important to every city and
town in South Dakota. 7. H. Purvis OBJ
tanned . license to sell intoxicating liquors
from the board Of county commissioners
Of Charles Mix County; also from the
civil township of jackson in the county.
The new town of Geddes was recently in
corporated out Of territory in jackson
Township, and the board Of trustees OF
Geddes passed an ordinance forbidding
any person from engaging in the business
OF selling liquors therein till they first paid
a license to the town Of Geddes.
Purvis having paid a county and town
ship license, and being engaged in the
business in the village Of Geddes before it
was incorporated, refused to pay the town
a license because his paying one to tho
township OF jackson, out of which Geddcs
was incorporated, exempted him from pay
ing the Geddes license till July 1 next.
The town authorities had him arrested
for engaging in the business without pay.
ing the license to Geddes. He was con-
vlcted and swore out a writ of habeas cor
pus, and upon hearing Judge Smith re-
leased him, holding that the town of Ged-
DIES has the power to prohibit the sale and
demand a license under section 81, liquor
laws OF 1897, but has no power to provide
any penalties for violation of such an ordi-
nance under section 2lor any other statute.
The judge holds that Purvis must pay to
Geddes the license demanded if he sells
there, aud his jackson Thownship license
is no defense, and that il he sells in viola
ton of the Geddes ordinance he may be
prosecuted in the name of the state before
a committing magistrate and bound over
to the next term of the circuit court, and
the penalties provided in the state statute
would be the penalties assessed against
him upon conviction for engaging in the
business of selling in Geddes without pay
ing the town license.

SEVERE WIND in CHICAGO.

Season Experienced Sunday.

One or the Worst Storms of the
Season Experienced Sunday.
One of the worst wind storms of the sea-
son struck Chicago early Sunday and dur
ing the two hours it was at its height
damaged property throughout the city to
the extent of $l75, 900. Many heavy plate
glass windows were blown in. Telegraph
and telephone companies were the worst
sufferers and it will be some time before
order can be restored. Thousands of poles
were blown down and Chicago was prac-
tically isolated from the west and north
west by telegraph and telephone. The
storm is believed to have been most severe
IN southern Wisconsin. Along a stretch
Of the Milwaukee road in southern Wis
consin 500 telegraph poles are down. Re
ports from many points in Indiana and
Kentucky also indicate heavy damage from
the storm.
AT the lie saving station at the mouth
Of the Chicago River it was considered the
worst gale that has struck Chicago harbor
since 1894.
Burlington, Cedar Rapids, Indianola
and Creston bore the brunt of the storm i'm
Iowa. In 1ndianola all the electric lights
we're destroyed and the Mutual Telephone
Company suffered $50 900 damage in the
destruction of its wires and operating APP
paratus. There was a heavy snow at Cedar
Rapids all day Sunday. trains being block
AIDED and telephone and telegraph compa-
mes being forced to abandon all business.
Several towns in Michigan report much
damage done by the storm. Telephone
and telegraph service is paralyzed.

Signs in South Africa Point to Early
Termination of Fighting.
A Pretoria dispatch, dated March 8,
stated that Kitchener and Botha had a
lengthy conference on Gun Hill that
morning. Botha was alone and Kitchener
was accompanied by his secretary.
Kitchener granted Botha seven days
armistice to enable him to confer with the
other generals.
Official circles in London regard the an
nouncement of on 'armistice in South Af-
RIGA with the greatest satisfaction. They
point out that it must have been granted
on the solicitation of the Beers, and take
the view that Kitchener would never have
consented to it unless he felt practically
sure it would result in an important adj
n towards the termination of all hos
tilities.

Other Powers Dc No Relish Russia's
Attitude in Manchuria.
A crisis has arisen in Chinese affairs
which, in the opinion of the British
government, is graver almost than the
troubles which originally turned the
eyes of the world toward the orient.
In this crisis secret negotiations are go
ing IN between the United States and
Great Britain, with a view to thwarting
what both governments appear to consider
q determined attempt IN the part of Rus
STA to plant herself permanently in one of
the richest tracts of the Chinese empire.
Japan is relied upon to take a line in har-
mony with the United States and Great
Britain. Germany, in spite of the Anglo
German compact. is regarded as rather
doubtful, owing to Emperor Williams
friendship for the car. France, of course,
will side with her ally.

A big batch OF immigrants xfrived at
Huron last week, from Indiana, and pro-
ceeded direct to Washington. There were
six families, aggregating thirty-two per-
sons; all will settle on farm lands in the
western part of Beadle and the eastern
part Of Hand Counties. They brought
with them household goods, farm machin-
cry and some stock, and were a happy,
thrifty looking company. On arriving at
Washington they were given a hearty
greeting and made to feel that they had
cast their lot among friendly people. The
same evening u company of new settlers
from Wisconsin arrived over the Great
Northern, and are now busy establishing
homes on farms in different parts Of Headle
County. The number of new settlers is
surprisingly large, and what is gratifying,
they all bring ample means with which to
equip farms and enter at once upon farm
ing and stock raising.

with those west of the river expects to
have the line completed this week. Great
towers are being constructed on both sides
of the river in order to elevate wires to a
sufficient height to allow boats to pass.
The wires will be without support between
these towers for over a mile. The compile
ton of the line will give several towns
quick communication with the outside
