NO WELCOME FOR HIM.
General Methuen's Arrival in England
Arouses No Enthu-
siasm.

London, July 14.-Lord Methuen re-
turned to England yesterday. His re-
ception was as quiet as Lord Kitchen
ers' welcome will be demonstrative.
Methuen remained In South Africa for
a longer period than other generals or
the original army corps Of which so
much was expected. and by which so
little was accomplished. He has risen
in public estimation In consequence or
the English grit with which he persist
ed in seeing the thing through, and,
Notwithstanding his final defeat and
capture. he has q better reputation
than Butler and the other generals,
with the single exception Of French.
Sir George S. White, who has been
properly reticent since the relief of
Ladysmith, has profted by the puoli-
cation Of the recent budget of war cor
respondence, and is now accounted
one of the most gallant and faithful
soldiers in the British army.
Lord Kitchener has become the hero
OF The radicals and pro-Boers because
he is credited with having brought the
war to a close by insisting upon mag
unanimous terms for a brave enemy.
Both political camps Will unite in well
coming him. His next command prob
ably will be In India, but he is likely
TO remain until the end of the year in
England, where he can be consulted by
The war and colonial offices respecting
H. settlement with South Africa.

FLOUR BINS N. g.
So Courts Trying to Decide Who Will
Stand Loss.

Spearfish, S. D., July lathe SUI
pr.me court has reversed the circuit
court in the celebrated flour bin"
case, which has attracted SO much at
tention in this country for the last four
years. a few years ago Cross d Camp,
two patent right men, visited this sec
ton with a patent Jour receiver, of
which they placed a large number of
them by trading them and giving them
away. They appeared TO be doing a big
business with the receivers, and vari-
Gus SpeaTflsh persons became interest
ed. Cross d Camp sold them rights to
sell the bins i'm different territories,
taking notes In payment. The notes
were negotiated at the Bank Of Spear
fish. 1t developed hat the bins were
what they had beenrepresented and
were unsaleable. Payment OF the notes
was therefore resisted. The bank
brought suit against w. l.. Graham, one
of the makers of the notes, and 1T was
tried in circuit court. Judge j. Il. Moore
took the case from the jury and de-
Cided in favor of the bank. The SUI
preme court in it's decision holds that
there is evidence of fraud on the part
of Cross & Camp, and the evidence
tends to show that the bank was not
purchasing the notes as an innocent
third party. The case will be tried
again in this court.

PROGRESS of Crops.


Huron. s. d., July 12.-The South Da-
kota weather and crop bulletin for the
| week ending July 8, says:
The temperature during the week
averaged about the normal, with some
quite warm nights, and was consider
ably more favorable than 1t was dur
| ing the preceding week, especially for
corn, potatoes and grass. Showers
were well distributed, and In som. To-
~calities too heavy In amount ON the
whole, the soil is generally amply
moist, but some limited areas need
more rain.
while there are some fields of bar
ey in the district where heavy fross
occurred on June II that are being cut
for hay because OF the injury received.
on the whole small grains, especially
wheat, are In prosperous condition.
Barley is generally in head. some al
ready well filled, and there is much rye
rip or ripening In the goutherly coun-
ties. Wheat and oats, especially the
early sown, are In head or heading well,
and the crop generally Is In thrifty con-
dition, with generally very good
length Of straw. There is no report
this week OF material injury to grain
lodged by the gale in the extreme
southeastern counties the night of June
"a.
1.-THE warmer weather has been very
beneficial to corn, the condition or
which has improved generally, espe-
cially over the area affected by frost
on June q, where, although some new
fields have been replanted to "a later
crop, general Improvement in condition
Is noted. Where not frost affected, the
crop has made good progress, and in
the southern counties some fields have
been laid by; cultivation, however, has
been retarded in some limited localities
by frequent showers.
Potatoes nave lone well generally;
new home grown potatoes are coming
on the market, and the outlook for u
good crop Is bright.
Grass continues generally excellent
early haying is becoming general, and
the prospect for an abundant hay crop
continues very bright.
"Millet and fax have made very IA
vorable progress.
There is no report of Improvement
In the fruit outlook where the crop was
injured by the gale OF June "a; else
where Improvement Is noted, and the
wild plum outlook along he Missouri
river and tributary valleys Is bright.
There is a little report of local in
jury to crops by hail, but confined to
small areas"

FEDERAL JAIL BREAK.
Prisoner Carves a Key Out of a Spoon
to No Avail.

Chamberlain, S. d., July 14.-Henry
Menich and Dan Huntsman, two
United States prisoners, the former a
white man charged with selling whisky
TO Indians, and the latter an indian
charged with burglary, enjoyed several
hour Of liberty yesterday as the re-
suit OF a Jail break,
With considerable ingenuity Menich
had carved a key out of q spoon with
his knife. With this he unlocked the
steel cell occupied by himself and COM
panion, into which they hustled all
the other prisoners in the jail and
turned the key on them, except No
Moccasin. after which they struck oct
for liberty. Nc M~eccasin, however, at
once Justify made the escape known,
and Sheriff Miller and a force OF citi-
zens started in pursuit. The fugitives
were finally located in a gulch south OF
town, and shortly after were again oc-
cupying their old quarters IN the Jail.
The key made by Menich is quite n
novelty, and the remarkable thing
about it is that 1t will open every cell
lock in the Jail, although the sheriff
requires an individual key for each
lock.

LOUIS DISBROW HELD.
Son of a New York Millionaire Must
Answer the Charge of
Murder,

"ei
Good Ground, Long Island, n. Y, July
u-Louis Disbrow has been held to the
gland jury to answer to the charge of
| nurdering Miss "Dimple" Lawrence and
Clarence Foster.
Now to make good an assertion that
| louis Disbrow will not spend the summer
n Riverhead jail, Rowland Miles, his at
|torney, will make application to the SUI
| preme court for a writ OF habeas corpus.
THE object of this Is to obtain Il judicial
review of the evidence on which Dis
brow was held at his preliminary hearing.
A Justice Of the supreme court has the
power 70 release Disbrow II II Is his
opinion that the evidence submitted at
the magistrates hearing did not legally
Justify a commitment.
"In all my experience" said Mr.. Miles
Yesterday. Il have never had occasion to
take q step like this. / never before had
q case where a man so palpably innocent
was held on such fimsy evidence. / have
attempted no defense because the fact that
q crime was committed has not been le-
gally established. Nothing was adduced
at this preliminary hearing to establish
that Miss Lawrence and Clarence Foster
came to their death by violence. The dis
trict attorney will have to have something
stronger than a suspicion OF crime TO OBJ
tain a hearing In a trial court. Before q
Judge and jury we can knock MS case 10
flinders"
The district attorney, who is congratu.
lated for the vigorous and eloquent man.
ner I'm which he wound up his presenta-
tiop Of the case against Disbrow, is jubi-
lant over the outcome. He declares that
tbe full strength of the states case was
not developed. The defense has only an
outline Of the prosecution, he says.
Disbrow expected to go free as the re.
suit of the Good Ground hearing. For the
first time he seems to realize the gra 'ity
Of his position. 1t was brought home tc
him suddenly by a fierce denunciation Of
District Attorney Smith and the prompt
decision of Judge Foster that he must
face the grand jury. Those who observed
the young man closely saw that he was
badly frightened when the decision was
rendered and the applause of the audience
~ through the court room.

NEW ARMY
Olive Drab Color Recommended
Army Uniform Board.

~ 8
Army Uniform Board.
washington, July Alt is prob
able that the new army uniform is to
be Of a color entirely new to the mill
tary service of this country or Europe.
The report of the new army uniform
BOARD, now before the secretary OF
wcr. recommends that the uniform OF
the soldier be made of a color known
officially as "olive drab." 1t Is not
quite a brown, nor is Ii a green, but a
mixture Of brown and drab known
commercially as ''olive mix"
Practical experiments made by the
officers Of the board demonstrated the
fact that this shade Is less visible In
the field than any other color. The well
known khaki was easily discovered be-
cause of its yellow shade, blue was re-
iected without much discussion and
the gray of the West Point cadet
turned to a pronounced black when
seen at a distance.
The board does not advise the adop-
ton of knickerbockers, but adheres
TO the present shaped trousers Tor IN
fantry, and provides for fighting MT
ting riding trousers for h cavalry. In
the opinion OF the board some change
should be made in the cartridge belt,
but no new design is offered, as the
board considered ii advisable to have
the ordnance department make further
experiments before making a perma'
nent change.

JOSEPH KUBLER, PUBLISHER

A striking measure Uf the progress
Of a century is given by the London
Chronicle In a note on the treatment Of
the insane only 100 years ago. Bar
barity was the rule. Patients were ex-
hibited at shows, loaded with chains,
beaten With many stripes. But still
more significant OF the Ignorance OF
the age were the means taken TO cure
them by startling them back into
sanity. Sometimes they yer put into
revolving swings that spu leo times
a minute, an ordeal that might unset
Gle ever a well balanced brain. Some
times they were put in baths so con-
.structed that the bottoms came out
and plunged the occupants into a So
called bath of surprise" below. Some
times they were suddenly dropped
from high overs into subterranean
caverns.

CHANGE MANNER OF DRAWING.
United States District Court Jurors
from Any Section Of State.

Sioux Falls, S. D., July I'm future
there will be q change in drawing
grand and petit jurors for terms or
the United States court in South Da-
kota and elsewhere. Originally the
grand and petit jurors for the district
of South Dakota were drawn from all
parts OF the state. A number of years
ago a bill vas passed by congress con-
nning the drawing of jurors from the
district OF the state In which the term
of court was to be held. During the
recent session of congres a bill was
quietly passed which changes the pro-
cedure back to what it originally was.
Thus In future grand and petit Jurors
will be drawn without regard 10 the To-
cality in the state in which they reside
or where a particular term OF United
States court is to be held. As the new
law went into effect July l, the jurors
for the Aberdeen term, to convene in
September. will be the first to be drawn
under the terms Of the new law.

himself at his residence. In his hand
was discovered u paragraph from a
newspaper referring to his brothers
bequest to the hospital and the will
which had been such a source Of
