Senator Mason of Illinois turns loose
another story from his vast stock and makes
a former resident Of Omaha the central
figure to wind the yarn on. Those who
remember VIII Visscher will understand al
once the wierdness Of the story. 1t does
not At him, not by a jugful. According to
the rotund senator. Visscher was In Dead
wood many years ago and was a victim OF
exceeding bad luck. He had no money, and
was walking the street, wondering how he
could get a drink OF whisky TO cheer him
up. He saw q humber OF miners and cow
boys enter a saloon, and. noticing that they
were particularly disreputable in appear
ahce and carried guns, he followed them In.
When he got inside he addressed the as
semblage without waiting for the Formally
Of an Introduction.
Gentlemen" he said, II have just wit
messed a most deplorable incident. In a sa>
loon down the street a man with a gun
forced an unarmed stranger from the east
to take a drink Of whisky, even though the
stranger protested that he had never tasted
liquor in his life, and was morally opposed
to its use. Now" said Visscher, slarins
around him, II would like to see some one
try to make me take q drink against my
will"
He had hardly uttered the words. when
there was a pistol shot, and a bullet buried
itself in the floor at his feet.
Hold on" he shouted. you have me
at a disadvantage. left my gun at the
hotel!"
Never mind that" said the maj who
had fired the shot. Here. barkeeper." he
cried TO the man behind the bar. Put up
six glasses there, and All them all. YOU"
he said. turning hercely upon Visscher,
will drink all OF hem"
Visscher protested, but another bullet
struck the noor at his feet. and he there
upon turned his attention to the bar. The
glasses had all been filled, and Visscher
emptled each in turn, while the man with
the gun stood ready to enforce his COM
mand. When visscher had taken the last
drink and a row OF empty glasses stood
before him on the bar, he turned . glow
ing and- a smiling face upon the bad men
around him.
Now. gentlemen" he said. cheerfuily,
"Tf anyone will MI those glasses up again

Why Values Rise.

The remarka BILE boom in the land
which has been in progress through
out the west for two or three years
past is partly explained by the
Financial Chronicle OF New York.
That paper states that during the
past fifteen years the western far
mers have paid off six billloas and
a half in mortgages. t he vast bulk
of this debt reduction has bee n
since 1896. In other words since
the end Of the panic years the west
ern farmers have not only ma de
general and expensive improve ment
have not only raised materially
their standard OF comfort and lux
ury but they have been able to lay
aside profit of fully five billion
dollars with which to discharge
their debt. This amounts to prac'
tically a billion dollars a vear.-Ar-
gus Leader.
To this might also be added the
further reasons for land values ris-
ing: The human family is growing
rapidly and must have homes; land
is the safest property in the world;
cheap land held onto always makes
m oney for the owner.

The sorrowful news Twas received
in Miller Friday that John Pyle
was dead. Afte" a long struggle
with typh old fever he passed away
at his home in Huron, surrounded
by his loved ones.
John Pyle-for thus we knew him
was strong. rugged man of ster
ling worth and force, who left his
imprint of honest since rity upon
everything he touched He was
born in Ohio ~ years ago. He be-
gan the stubborn battle OF life at 10
in Montana, where his roughing it
builded that magnificent physique
which distinguished him in any
gathering
In 1882 he came to Miller, settled
on government claim, farmed
some, worked at carpentering, and
began the study OF law. In 1886 he
was elected to the office OF District
Attorney for Hand county, serving
in this capacity for two years. In
1887 he was married to Miss Mamie
Shields, and.in 1889 they moved to
Huron, where he built up large
law practice, and built n beautiful
home. In 1898 he was nominated
by the republican party and elected
Attorney General OF South Dakota,
and reelected in 1900. His pu bile
service has been marked by conspic
uous inegerity and ability. He was
a consistent Christian always
member OF the Presbyterian church,
an Odd Fellow, a Workman, and a
Woodman.

one of South Dakota's very best
citizens, and we doubt il any man
in the state was better known. or
more highly respected than our own

whose memory we can unite in this
tribute. He was the noblest work
OF God-an honest, generous man.
