PRESIDENT SWIFT DIES,
Head Of Big Packing Concern Expires
After Operation.

Chicago, March 30.-Gustavus F.
Swift, president of the Swift Packing
company, died at his home, 4848 Ellis
avenue, of internal hemorrhages re-
sulting from a surgical operation per-
formed several days ago. Mr.. Swift
was sixty-three years old.
His death was entirely unexpected,
both by Mr.. SWift's family and his
physicians. He had given every indi-
cation Of recovery and all danger was
considered passed. In fact so hope
full was everyone, including himself,
for his speedy recovery that his son
Herbert L. Swift, who had been sum-
moned from Boston, left Saturday to
return to Boston.
Mr.. Swift had been suffering some
time from bladder trouble and a week
ago an operation was determined up
on to give him relief. It was not ex-
pected thee operation would prove
especially dangerous and nothing hap
pened to cause change in this hope
fulness until Sunday morning. His
Improvement was stopped suddenly by
hemorrhage, while the doctors were
unable to check and which caused his
death in short time. No arrange
ments for the funeral have yet been
made

Government Measure Appears in the
House Of Commons.
London, March 26.-The Irish secre-
tary, Mr.. Wyndham, introduced the
governments long anticipated Irish
land bill in the house of commons dur
ing the day. 1t proposes a free grant

anted farms and grazing lands will
be sold to neighboring tenants and
that three commissioners will super
wise the sales.
The advances to the tenants through
the provisions of the land bill are
limited to $4,000 in the congested dis
tricts and $4,000 elsewhere. The bill
will become effective Nov. l. Mr..
Wyndham said $750,0O0,O00 could safe
~ be advanced on Irish land, but he
thought the scheme would not involve
$4,000 100000.

while the maximum charge on the
English treasury would not exceed
$1,975,000 in single year, the reduc-
ton in the cost of the administration
Of Ireland would amount to $3.50, 900.

Havana, March Bottle treaty of
reciprocity between Cuba and the
United States, as amended by the SEN
ate of the United States, was approved
by the Cuban senate by a vote of IL
to 9.
This approval is absolute and is not
hampered by any commands. The
questionable time-hmit amendment
was dispensed with through the re.
ceipt of a cable message from Secre-
tary Hay in which it was positively
declared that President Roosevelt
would call a special session of con-
gress before Dec. /. The purport of
this assurance was transmitted to the
senate by President Palma and read
at the beginning of the session, an
understanding having been reached
previously with Senators Bustamente,
Capote and Dolz, composing the ma
jority of the foreign relations commit
tee, that the Objectionable condition
in the report be eliminated. This was
done by the offering of amendments
by other administration senators sub
shutting the unconditional adoption
OF the amendments to the treaty by
the American senate for the qualified
acceptance contained in the original
report.

Lowell, Mass, March ,31:-For the
first time in many years, on a working
day, the bells on the great cotton mills
in this city were silent during the
morning and the streets usually
marked by the hurry and hustle OF
thousands of operatives on their way
to work were still and almost deserted.
Absolute quiet prevailed in the sec
ton occupied by the cotton factories.
The period Of inactivity, the duration
of which cannot be definitely predict
ed, began without a notable incident,
save perhaps the fact that few men
and women who had started to finishj
up some work in the cloth rooms OF
one or two of the mills were turned
back by committees from the labor
unions. OF the seven corporations
which are shut down four had prac-
tically no help working. At the Merri-
mac and at the Hamilton plants the
print works were not closed: These
departments are not directly involved
il the contest over wages, but they
are affected by the suspension and
when the present stock of material is
finished they will be forced into idle
ness.
The strikers demand an increase OF
10 per cent in wages. About 10000
employees are affected.

AROUND THE CORN PALACE

There are about 10 people employed
IN various capacities around the Corn
palace building. Quite a few girls are
sorting out wheat and oats straws
and making them into small bundles
with which to decorate the towers.
Decorator Robe is making a better
showing Of the sugar cane around the
base Of the building. Heretofore the
base has been solid with cane but he
has changed the design to a consid-
cradle extent, which greatly en-
names its beauty and relieves the
h%lunDtony Of SO much cane Around
each panel of cane he has tackled on
a strip Of red cloth and over this he
has mailed buttons Of white corn.
The effect when it is all done will be
very attractive.
The corn fo' decorative purposes is
coming in slowly as all the time pos
sib!e is being given for it to get a
little harder and by the first Of next
week great quantities will be deliv-
cred at the palace. What corr has
been delivered is in fine shape for
cutting and the ears are large and
much better for decorative purposes.
The towers are being decorated fist
this year and by the time they are
done the corn will be ready for plac-
ing on the building.
The employees are working with a
will and will put in thcir time so
that there will be no delay on their
part.
We notice by the papers in the
counties that will make agricultural
exhibits at the cor palace the farm
ers are being urged to bring the pro-
ducts of the farm which will help to
make a up a fine showing for the ex-
hibit. There will be ten counties
represented this year and South Da-
kota and her products will receive an
immense amount Of advertising as a
result.

claims to produce more wealth every

state in the union. The figures for
the other states are not at hand, but
we do know that South Dakota's
farms, ranges, gardens, mines and
quarries will have yielded nearly
S139, O00, 900 worth of products at the
close Of this year and the total popu-
lation is about $50. 900. This is a per

are $50, 900 people anywhere else who
can beat it, we want the figures.
