CHASED BY A WHALE.
Towel and Exciting Experience of an
American Millionaire with His
Pleasure Yacht.

Mr.. Eugene Higgins, the millionaire
yachtsman, was chased by whale on
April fools day.
Mr.. Higgins had his yacht, the Ba-
runa, at Nice. He went away from
that gay place for two days cruise
in the Mediterranean sea. He expect
ed squalls and possibly high weather,
temper as blue-eyed woman, says
the Philadelphia Press.
To see whale is an exciting sight;
to be chased by one is something to
be avoided by the Oldest mariner.
The mammals can go at terrific
speed and their tail is so colossal in
its strength that a pleasure yacht
would quickly succumb to a few
angry blows and few steady con-
tortions of the whales body.
The yacht made splendid speed and
got into the harbor first. The shall
low water of the latter saved tie
boat and it's owner, for it was nip
and tuck race to see which would get
there first. When Mr.. Higgins and
his party ran through the entrance
and got into the shallow water they
left the monster lashing around in a
great rage just outside the line.
Mr.. higgins went at once to the
port authorities office and told his
story
He didn't remember it was the first
of April; but they did. He was eXcit-
ed and they were mad
These small officials who have
whole power over trifles grow to q
sense of Importance, and they take
seriously any affront to their per-
sonal dignity.
They belong to the system, and as
such are in line with kings, no mat
ter how long the line is, and how far
they are at the other end.
They resented Mr.. Higgins joke
with such swiftness of anger that
they did the thing it is easiest always
for them to do.
They sentenced him to be locked
up in Jail for "a hours until he recov-
cred due sense of the Importance
of being in earnest with them.
But just as if it all were play the
telephone that is often tardy, but
was then timely, rang out with en-
citement.
The voice at the other end was
from Antilles and announced that q
tremendous whale, travelling at ter
rife speed and in fearful temper
had rushed clean into the shallow
water of the harbor and was half up
on the sands of the sea like strand
ed ship on beach.
That it was flashing it's tail furious
| ly and was unable to get back into
deep water.
With all the suavity and the cour-
tesy that is part of the Italians
| temper, the port authorities paid
their apologies to the millionaire
| American.
He was offered the wine of peace
instead of the bars of guilt. He was
pressed upon to accept everything IN
sight, except the jail to which he had
| been led.
Mr.. Higgins headed is sailors and
they went back to the angry mon
ster and captured and killed it by
some expert harpooning.
Even as to It's size Mr.. Higgins han
not been telling joke.
1t is now on record as the largest
ever having been caught.
it was 104 feet long.
Scientific men are especially inter-
ested in it, because it is the first
whale that was ever seen In the
Mediterranean sea.
Count on an American to get into
best adventures if there are any to
be had around the circle Of the
world!

Venezuela is making a heroic strug-
gle against England and Germany,
which countries are e%ndeavoring to
make a collection of overdue interest.
Aside from holding off these two
countries President Castro has
enough on his hands to quell the
disturbance of the opposing forces
in his own land. Venezuela owes Eng
land and Germany something like
$40, DOC, 600, and the interest has been
allowed to lapse for about two years.
However, it does seem that these
foreign powers are taking rather
forcible measures to collect the debt
that is owing. Venezuelans are max
ing desperate efforts to secure the
assistance of the United States as
an arbitor in the situation, but I'M
less England and Germany will agree
TO the proposition it is not likely
that this country will make any in
reference.

A Sioux Falls correspondent is
attempting to inject a proposition
into the capital removal campaign
which has been faithfully disregarded
by the committees of the towns
which are in the combination for
the resubmission of the capital
question. The correspondent states
in an extended article to an outside
paper that complications are
threatened in the political field on
account of the movement that has
been set in motion. 1t can be stated
positively and on good and sufficient
authority that the committees Of the
three towns have no intention what
ever of in any way making the CAPT.
tai removal a political feature. The
capital matter will be placed before
the legislature wholly on its merits.
The correspondent refers to what he
terms as the machine being divided
on the proposition. Perhaps the
gentlemen may be divided on capital
removal, and it was not expected
that all would favor it, but it is their
privilege to take whatever stand
they deem proper-their locality
would have some bearing on the
matter. So far as Congressman
Burke is concerned it is understood
that between being returned to con-
gress and working for Pierre's in
terest in the capital fight that he
would stand by his home town and
let the congressional mantle fall on
other shoulders. The Sioux Falls
correspondent has unnecessarily gone
into a subject that is left entirely
out of the capital campaign, and it is
regretted that any such discussion
was started.

Snow Slated for Governor.

With the suggestion that the re-
mOvallsts may visit their displeasure
on Congressman Burke if he should
become tCo aggressive comes also the
suggestion that the same combina-
ton may 90 in for Lieutenant Cover
nor Snow to succeed to the governor
ship. Mr.. Snow is naturally a re-
movalist. His home, Springfield, is
near to both Mitchell and Huron and
very remote from Pierre. The people
Of his part of the state favor remov-
al almost to a man. The lieutenant
governor by courtesy. has the ap-
pointment Of the senate committees,
n OF which, that on appropriations,
will have great weight in the capital
tight. The removaliSts are congratu-
latlng themselves that the lieutenant
governor is favorable to them, other
wise they would be compelled to take
the organization out Of his hands.
1t has ever been limited that Lieu
tenant Governor Snow would prefer
that the latter course should be TAX
en-, as it would at once bring the rel
alive strength of the contestants to
a showdown and would relieve him Of
responsibility for any untoward con-
sequences.
Both sides to the contest are hope
ful. The removalists claim they have
thirty-four senators pledged to them
while it requires only twenty-t three
to submit the question. They also
claim fully three-fourths Of the
lower house. On the other hand Con-
gresham Burke has given it out cold
that there is no danger of the cues
tion being sumitted. Mr.. Burke is
not in the habit of bluffing and his
apparent confidence has caused a
little trnmor among the removalists.
They think they have everything their
own way but are a little fearful that
Burke may have a winning card up
his sleeve. He has won out on them
so often in the past.

WANTS DEWEY SENT THERE
Wants the United States to Interfere
in the Venezuelan Affair to
Help Weaker Nation.

Editor Republican: Is it not about
time that Admiral Dewey had a
change of orders, and quit practicing
in the West Indies and cross the
Caribbean Sea and do his practicing
on those two big DULLES who are try
ing to throttle Venezuela, when she
is just emerging from an internal
strife. If they are there for the pur-
pose of collecting an honest debt why
not do it honestly. Its a slim SUBJ
terfuge to wantonly destroy the ships
Of the Venzeuelans while on a COL
Letting tour. I think this is close
enough to the Monroe doctrine for
our government to call a halt. 1t is
a repetition of what France tried to
do in the Cos, when they thought
we were busy at home, but now we
are out Of a job and our practicing
should be put to practical use and
show those two nations that we have
a watchful care over our wards near
the equator, and that Europeans
mast keep their hands off except in
a respectful manner, and that the
Monroe doctrine must be upheld.
Very respectfully,

Minneapolis authorities are giving
the former mayor of that town, Al
bert A. Ames, a merry chase across
the colntry, and up to the present
time the gentleman has successfully
eluded his pursuers. The mayor
has been indicted by the grand
jury on nine different counts, and is
wanted very badly. 1t is limited i'll
one of the Minneapolis papers that
there were parties in that city who
were just as anxious to have the
mayor escape the officers as the latter
were to capture him. 1t is feared
that if he was brought back and
placed on trial that his talk would
doubtless incriminate others high up
in official and business circles.

The Sioux Falls Press reads the
South Dakota newspaper men a very
serious lecture for seeing fit to 90 to
Sioux City to hold the winter meet
ing Of the press association. The
Press suggests that the newspaper
men might as well locate the state
fair, the capital, several educational
institutions, and an insane asylum at
Sioux City, if they are SO stuck on
the place. 1t is rather bad form for
the Press to take the matter so much
to heart, as the majority of the news
paper men are not so shortsighted as
to take away from the state ANYTHING
that belongs to it. 1t is as equally
improper for the editors to 90 out of
the state during the summer for their
annual outing as it is to go to Sioux
City for the winter meeting. With
out doubt there are a good many
places within the boundaries of South
Dakota where they could spend a
week at sightseeing. Doubtless it is
the desire to cross the borders of
the state line to feel that the
year away from home that they 90
to Sioux City this time. No great
crime has been committed and it is
likely that the industries OF the state
Will move along in the same old way
as before.

there is to be a complete abandon
ment of the party's position,'' he
says, ''If the party is to stand for an
absolutely changed policy. then no

change that Mr.. Bryan alludes TO
would be to a position and a policy
which generally characterized it be-
fore the populistic elements under
Mr.. Bryan's leadership captured the

mantle of Thomas Jefferson is a gro

whose special detestation is the
gentleman, now domiciled in New
Jersey, who has twice led it to
victory.

1t is very evident that the citizens
of the city will have to come to the
rescue to entertain the school teachers
who are coming to Mitchell the latter
part of this month for the education
al association. The hotels are pretty
we'll crowded with the ordinary run
of business, and it will be impossible
for as many teachers to be taken in at
these places as was first supposed.
The committee makes an appeal in
the paper today for the citizens to
assist in caring for the visitors, and
it should be responded to at once
Doubtless it will not be such an easy
matter to entertain in the winter
as in the summer but the conditions
will have to be met and we believe
that Mitchell people are not the ones
to shirk a responsibility. Inform
Prof. Fry, or Prof. Qiugley, at the
earliest possible moment what you
can do in the way of taking care Of
teachers for three days.

The shortage of anthracite coal in
the east is causing a great deal of
trouble, and much suffering is result
ing from the inability of the poorer
classes to get fuel. In the business
districts there is also a great dis
tress, and in a great many cases office
buildings have be forced to shut
down because coal cannot be secured
to run the furnaces. Railroads, it is
reported. which are employed as car
riers of coal to the east and west are
contiscating cars Of coal and taking
them for their own use. Reports are
coming in from the west of the
shortage of anthracite coal. For the
past month Or so the west has been
fairly well supplied with coal, but
the shipments have commenced to
fall off and a scarcity is now staring
the people in the face.
