strikes Are old.

Strikes, now SO prevalent says the London Chronicle. are commonly thought to be a nineteenth century production. but it Is only the name, said to be of American origin. that is modern. Their power as wage raisers was tried at least as far back as the sixteenth century. for In the "Calendar of State Papers" is a letter from Sir William Fitz William to Mir. Secretary Cromwell containing the statement that "the workmcn at Dover refused to work except for slxpence a day. Two of the ringleaders had been some time of the black guard in the kings Kitchen"
 No moral lmputation was conveyed in calling them black guards. All that was Implied was that they formerly guarded the pots. pans and other uten- sils of the king. It was a much later generation that trrned the term to purposes Of abuse.

LAST STORM HURT CATTLE.
Storm Belt Was Fifty Miles Wide
Many Cattle Died.

There have been heavy losses
among cattle in the region tributary to
Spearfsh during the recent heavy
storms, according to reports that are
coming into that town. E. II. Cannon,
at the head of the North Fork of the
Little Missouri, on the line between
Montana and Wyoming. says the
storm belt was south of him and he
did not suffer. The belt, he says, was
fifty miles wide and many cattle died.
John Pearson of Eothen, Wyo., says
the snow is very deep in the Bear
Lodge mountains, and cattle are suf-
fering.
Many cattlemen are feeding their
stock grain, as the hay has become ex-
bausted, and they are resorting to
that expedient in the hope of bringing
their herds through until spring grass
cones.

GOOD CUSTOMER or FRANCE.

England Makes Heavy Purchases
from Her OId-Time Foe.
Jean Finot, editor of the Revue dea
Revues, recently put the relations be-
tween France and England in most
striking fashion. He said:
Great Britain deserves the name
OF the richest and most important OF
French colonies. France is SO bound
up with her fate that the disappear
ance of England's economic power
would cause her incalculable mischief.
Our total exports In 1901 were only
4,155, 100000 francs, of which Eng.
land took 100000 francs, or
more than 80 per cent Of all the mer.
chandise which we cast on the
worlds market. But even OF more Inn
portance is the fact that the amount
of English purchases in France is
constantly growing, From 1,032,00
900 francs in 1896 1t rose to 1882, 000,-
900 francs in 1897, to 1888 200, 900
francs in 1899, and to 1924 100000
francs in 1901, thus showing an In.
crease of $4,000, 900 francs. or over
% per cent in five years. Now the
purchases from the mother country %
all the Frerch colonies, including
Algeria, 259,0oo,o0o francs. and Tunia.
about 100000 francs, together with
those scattered all over the world.
about IS3,o0o,000 francs, did NOS
amount in 1900 to more than 476. 0o0s
600 francs. Besides this colossal
amount OF purchases, the English
yearly spend considerable sums In
France. The money left in our coun-
try by Englishmen visiting Paris or
th,>ir favorite resorts is commonly
estimated at 50O,00O,O00 frapcs, thus
making 1,S0O,0o0,0OO france as the
formidable total yearly paid by Eng
land to France"

RICH QUARTZ.

Discovery Made in a Missouri River
County.
A vein Of gold quartz which is said
to run 5000 to the ton was discovered
on the farm of August Kiphn, two and
one-half miles south of Fairfax, in
Gregory county.
Samples of the ore were taken to
Fairfax, and according to the opinions
OF old miners the ore will assay 5000
to the ton. ta
Crude tests, the best that could be
made there, showed that the rock was
heavily charged with gold and very
rich. ....F
Samples have been forwarded to
Washington, and IL the rock assays
well there will be a boom there that
will put any boom that might come
from the opening of the Rosebud res
ervation in the shade. @s
The discovery of gold in this part Of
the country was revelation, as it was
thought no mineral of that variety ex-
listed in Gregory county. .......r.
The find was made while digging a
well. At the depth of 43 feet an eight
inch vein of the quartz was encoun-
tered
1t is believed that thicker veins I'M
derlie the one found and there is also
possibility that there is large
mother vein somewhere near. Kiphn
will prospect extensively on his land
and developments are being eagerly
awaited.

LAND FLOWING WITH MILK and HONEY
Tennessee Newspaper Tells an Eloquent story of
south Dakota's Growth i'm Recent Years
Figures of General interest

South Dakota is the veritable land
flowing with milk and honey, and it
seems to be attracting as much atten.
ton as the Canadian Northwest that
is filing up with American homeseek-
ers. South Dakota raises more and
produces more per capita than any
other section of this continent. With
an estimated population in 1902 of
100000 people, 1t produced $l19, 000,-
900 worth OF wheat, corn, oats, barley
fax, rye, live stock, dairy and cream
cry products, eggs and poultry, hay,
wool and hides, garden truck, root
crop and fruits, mineral stone and
cement and minor products. OF these
the leading products are wheat, $780,
$4,000; live stock, $31 100000; hay,
$11,000,000; minerals, $40, $4,000.
This means that there were produced
In 1902, according to statistics, 1866
worth of products for each man, WON
an and child in South Dakota. A
good showing, truly Bedford county,
Tenn. in the same year produced only
$2S.13 per capita. Money is plentiful:
People keep large sums on deposit in
New York, Chicago, Minneapolis,
Omaha and other points, and besides
this the banks had on deposit on
Sept. Is, 1902, over $50, 100000.
The food Of emigration to South
Dakota is great. More than $4,000
families are booked for settlement in
this granary this year. The food sup
ply question is becoming more tense
and serious every year. The cost of
living has increased 40 per cent in the
last five years and people are return
ing to the soil, the primary source of
all wealth. The rush to the congest-
ed cities is falling off and people are
beginning to appreciate the value OF
the soil and the certainty of winning
livelihood by cultivating it, Hence
the sooner" rush to government
lands when thrown open. Texas
school lands that were to have been
thrown open to actual settlers were
withdrawn for a season few days ago
because in the mad rush and struggle
strife and bloOdshed were threatened.
The Canadian Northwest swarms with
newcomers and nov South Dakota is
catching the current.
Commerce and manufacture are
losing their allurements and farm life
is losing its dreariness. In the last
analysis commerce means getting the
already created dollar from some one
else; and, while manufacture is es.
sentially wealth-producing, it is mod
ern form of slavery for those who en-
gage In it as laborers. Dominion over
even a few acres of productive soil is
infinitely better because here is pos
sible liberty, freedom, the develop
ment of individuality and the accumu-
lation of a modest competency.
The surplus products of South Da-
kota must find an outlet down the
valley and past the door Of Memphis.
Just now shipments go to the East by
way Of the Pacific, but when the great
transisthmian canal is dug they will
come this way and Memphis will be
brought closer to the great food-pro-
ducing felds.-Memphis (Tenn.) Com
