NICARAGUA IN DANGER,
All West Indian Islands Said to Be
Volcanic.

Chicago, ILL.,, May 1.-THE next
serious volcanic eruption will be from
Mont Conseguina, Nicaragua. ac-
cording to the prediction of Henry
H. Win dsor, who has made an ex-
haustive study of theproposed inter
oceanic canal routes. Mr. Windsor
who is editor of Popular Mechanics,
three years ago predicted the erup-
ton of Mont Pplee. At that time he
said:
1.-THE earth's crust can not long
withstand the strain under the island
of Martinique and some day there is
going to be an outburst from Mont
Pelee that will cause devastation un-
equaled except in the destruction of
Pompeii.
Mr.. Windsor agrees with Prof He'll
prin, of Philadelphia, that all the
West Indies and the strip of land
between the continents OF North and
South America are in the region of
weakn and may sink into the
, sea because of the great cavity being
for med within the earth by the con
tinued volcanic eruptions. A canal
through Nicaragua, says Mr.. Wind
sor, eventually would be consumed
by Mount Conseguina.
Along a valley formed by the flow
OF seas of volcanic lava from oppo-
site sides through earth that almost
continuously trembles from internal
disturbances, and in the midst of vol.
canoes from which still spout ashes
a nd flames, lies the route of the
transithmian canal" he says: "No
longer ago than 1885 the. inhabi
tants Of all the surrounding country
fled in terror from the disastrous
eruption OF the volcano OF Conse
guina. Earthquakes there now are
OF almost weekly occurrence.
The Typographical the earth which
was formed there by volcanic erup
tions is still undergoing radical
changes OF formation. New hills art
made and new valleys resultirom the
internal disturbances that seem to
never cease. Should the Nicaraguar
canal be built, there are grave iears
that it would only be a question o.
time when it would be obliterated
either by volcanic eruption or ar
earthquake"

The Cattle Grower.

To The Worlds suggestion, first
made on April 16, that Congress
should hit the Beef Trust by at once
repeating the duties on cattle and
meat, various Dihgleyite newspapers
cry: "What! Would you deprive
the American farmer of protection"
Considering that the American
farmer sold abroad last year animals
tt the value of $50, 100000, beef
34oducts $12O,000,U0O and other
meat products worth $11, 900, 600,
the talk of his need of protection is
simply a very threadbare campaign
fake.
The sort of protection" the cat
tle-grower gets in the home market
from the Bee! Trust is illustrated in
the current news The combine fixes
arbitrarily the price to be paid for
cattle. Wnen 1t advances the price
ofbeeves 81 hundred, it puts up the
price of beef 81 or $3. When extor-
tionate prices for meat lead to a
check in consumption, the combine
does not reduce the price of meat-it
stops buying cattle, as it has just
done. The protected" farmer is
forced to hold the cattle, while they
are "eating their heads off, and to
sell them at whatever price the com.
bine chooses to fix when it needs
item. it
Md this is projecting the farn.

Tariff VS.. Trusts,
By JUDGE JoHN II. SrLLEXs.

When trusts formed, aud go into operation:
Prices raised for lack OF competition,
The government stands. a wall at their back
And says to the foreigner, keep your goods back.
The head of the steel trust is one Mr. Sehwab.
He lays his plans deeply the rob:
He raises the price of steel aud fills his Golfer full.
And then he tours Europe to tackle John Bull
Our infant industries have grown bold,
They may have forgotten that they are So old
They turn ont their wares, and ship them to Rome,
And sell for less money than they charge home
They bleed us in hardware aud put up the bn
On everything else from Il nutmeg to II mill.
They seek IA course by furnishing funds
To run the campaign and boom their guns
They go into the Senate and then shut the door -.
And put up the prices higher than before,
And then send out word that prices have raised,
Because of their trust being depraved.
They have ruled long they have got tn, money
To buy up the plants which to them funny
They build up the rich by tearing down lhe poor,
Aud call it prosperity, though We have to pay more,
The trusts and the party has got 50 very thick
That if YOU one the other gets sick
The up the money aud the party makes the law
And it all works together without n single flaw.
The system wrong and gives,calsc for complaint,
While the government looks silent rs II saint
And sees the MASSES robbed Tor the benefit OF the few
And then cries prosperity when its only among the few
They have abandoned agriculture left the poor root
And will not pass law unless the trusts To suit,
They pass irOncad rules and cut oil discussion,
For the masses get Justice of the question
He forms his trust toappease his lust
The world looks ON in amazement
lie rules his father and also his mother.
And then seeks larger ergag ementS.

kipling's Faith.
From the Youth : Companion.

rIoiii int lUutu Companion.
Not long ago Bishop Brewster, of
Connecticut, told something of Rud-
yard kipling, which shows his simple
yet robust religious faith. Although
specially addressed to the young
neil OF Yale university, the story is
one which may well be remembered
by young men in general.
A trained nurse, watching at the
bedside of Mr.. kipling during those
moments when the author was in the
most critical stage of illness, noticed
that his lips began to move. She
bent over him, thinking he wished to
say something to her, and heard him
murmur that old, familiar prayer OF
childhood days:
"Now lay me down to sleep"
Il beg your pardon, Mr. kipling,"
the nurse said, in an apologize whis-
per, when she realized that kipling
did not require her services. II
thought you wanted something"
Il d." family observed Kipling.
81 want my Heavenly Father He
only can care for me now"

Ated by Rains and Cattle
Being Imported,

BELLE FoURCHE, s. D.. May 22--(spe-
cial.)-The recent rains have been OF INFINITE
benefit to the crops and the cattle ranges
in this neighborhood. The ground has not
been in such good condition for many years
past and the grass is forward for the
season, so there is a certainty OF good graz
ing. Belle Fourche is already feeling the
effects. and the streets present a lively ap-
~pearance. with galloping cowboys and hust-
ling mees wagons.
Stock on the range Is putting on flesh
rapidly and oew ponies are in fine condition.
Stock is coming into the country rapidly,
being shipped in to occupy the range.
The Belle Fourche river roundup started
up at the mouth OF the river. intending TO
work up stream, but at present 1t is stalled
in the gumbo country.
Losses generally have not been heavy,
but they were appalling In some instances.
The losses occurred largely during the last
blizzard.
Th cattlemen m farmers In this sec
ton have for several years past been i'm
proving their cattle, and It Is hard o to
run across an old-time range steer, even
on the range and most Of the farmers and
individual owners are breeding to standard
bred bulls. On Tuesday last Fuller Bros,
b have a fine ranch three miles north of
this city, shipped from Seath Omaha thirty
eight head Of Shorthorn bulls for use on
their range.

Police to CIV the Tip when the Nec-
ossaFy Numbsr of Strangers Are In
the City to Warrant Keep

be designated a sliding scale regulating
the closing Of saloons. When the city has
its normal population and the census is not
Increased by the addition OF a number Oh
visitors within the corporate limits all
saloons must close their doors at midnight,
This order is being rigidly enforced and the
police have strict orders to see that the
moment the clock on the Bloomer school
house tolls the midnight hour every saloon
closes its doors promptly to the minute.
ThAs refers to the days when the city Is
not entertaining some convention or gath
sring. bringing numbers Of visitors to
town On such occasions Mayor Morgan
feels that the visitors should be entitled
to all the courtesies possible and given
every opportunity to slack their thirst II
they happen to have one. with this end in
view the chief executive has given orders
that the saloons may keep open all night
II trade warrants 1t, but that there must
be no disorder. The tip to this effect Is
quietly passed around to the saloon men
By Chief Tibbits and the men under him.
Saloon men are hoping that by the time
the Manawa season opens the mayor will
rescind his midnight closing order en-
tirely.

In order to avoid as far as possible further
damage by the overflow Of Indian creek, the
congregation Of the First Scandinavian
church, on Avenue A and Ninth street, will
change the site Of its church, so that the
building will face on Ninth street, instead
of on Avenue A, as at present. Permission
has been granted by the city council to the
church officers to move the sidewalk on the
west side Of the property to the curb line
and this will enable the lot to be terraced
up SO that It will be above high water
mark. tn parsonage will also be moved.
Owing to its close proximity to Indian
creek, the church in past years has suffered
considerable damage at times when the
creek overfiows its banks and floods the
surrounding territory, The foundations of
the church have more than once been partly
washed out and the water has invaded the
church, leaving a muddy deposit several
inches thick on the floor.
