ANOTHER great castrophe has
been added to the long list of the
past few months in which human
life seems to be regarded as the
cheapest commodity on the market.
An excursion party numbering more
than thousand started on a boat
at New York City for a days plea
sure, under the auspices of Ger
man Lutheran church. Fire brske
out on the boat and almost 1000
men, women, and children are re-
ported to have met death in the
flames, or by jumping into the river.
No ample facilities were at hand
for the saving of life; no life boats
lowered and no life perservsrs on
board that were seviceable. No
provision seems to have been made
against such an occurance. The list
Of dead is even greater than that re-
sulting from the Iroquois theater
fire in Chicago.

THE steamboat inspector at New
York city gives it out fiat that the ex-
cursion steamer which burned was
one of the many whose owners do
not pretend to comply with the in
spection laws, and that the corpora :
tions owning boats have greater
pull with those high in official circles
than has the inspector and the law.
The people will become aroused
oyer this disclosure for a few
minutes, but the same condition of
affairs will exist money is more
than law in New York.

plenty of good band music, two

ting up good entertainments in this
line, and those who have charge of
this affair intend to keep that repu
tation good. Come to De Smet aud

DIR. George Lilly Dead.

From the Daily Guard of Eugene,
Oregon, The PREss learned OF the
death of DR.. George Lilly, which
occurred the fore part of last week.
He had been in i'll health number
of years, but his condition was
not considered serious until few
days before hi5 death, when he be.
gan to have sinking spells and soon
passed away.
George Lilly, as be was familiarly
known here, was the first president
of the S. d. A. c., and when the
funds for completing the first
building was exhausted Mr.. Lilly
advanced the money to finish off
enough of the interior SO that school
might be commenced. He was,
however, reimbursed by subsequent
legislature, and this is only mention
ed to show his ambition in his chosen
profession, and it was due to this
fact that the school was opened in
the fall of 1884. He and his wife,
who survives him, continued to reside
in this city until 1890, when they
moved to Pullman, Wash, and he
was soon after elected president of
of the State Agricultural College of
Washington. He afterwards moved
to Oregon, where he was professor
OF mathematics at the State Univer-
silly at Eugene.
He was the auther of several text
books on mathematics, which are be-
ing largely used now. He was
clean, honest. upright, Christian
gentleman and a staunch friend, and
the coming generations will be bet
tered by the example of such life.
He was So years Of age at the time
of his death. Bookings Press.

AN American war correspondent,
who attempted to get into Port
Arthur, and who was seized by Rus
SLAMS and placed in prison, has been
released. This correspondent says
that the Russians have plenty of
supplies, that new forts have been
built and that there is no prospect
of Port Arthur falling into the hands
of the Japs at any near date; also,
that the Russian warships said to
have been made into submarine
feet by the Japs are all repaired and
that the harbor has been cleared of
all distractions. 1t begins to look
as if the Japs were yellow in their
newspaper reports as we'll as in the
color of their skins.

THAT VLADIvosToK feet supposed
to be bottled up by the Japs has
been roaming around the past few
days and making Jap submarine
feet. Only five Jap troops and sup
ply ships were sunk by the raiding
Russians. We are told by the war
correspondent that this little loss
does not injure the laps materially.
For some reason Russian victory
is Of no consequence in the eye of
the correspondent, while little Jap
victory means the end of the Rus
SLAMS. At the present rate japan
will be out of the game in few
months.

ALL the republican papers that
supported Crawford are finding
that it doesn't pay to kick against
the machine. State auditor Halla-
day has the dispensing of the publ
cation of the insurance statements,
and he refuses to give them to the
Crawford papers. The Vermillion
Republican, the best LEGAL weekly III
South Dakota, is being diciplined,
but the editors declare that it takes
more than the spitefulness of mar
row partisan official to drive them
out of the party.-Soo Critic.
There is some truth in the above
the Crawford papers are not receiving
a share of the patronage mentioned.
However, it is hardly fair, in our
estimation, to charge it all up to
Halliday. He may have something
to say in the matter, but it is certain
that Mr.. Perkins, the insurance COM
missioner, has decided and declared
to let nothing escape in the direction
of a Crawford supporter.
