ENORMOUS COAL SHIPMENTS.


People who live away from the
great rivers have little idea of the

from the message on this point:

use of harsh, not to say unparlia

characterize properly the foregoing
paragraph in the mayors rather re
markable deliyerance. The state

shamelessly untrue and so unjust TO
all the members OF the city council.
There is not an instance on record in
the proceedings Of the city council
where any opposition was offered BY
any member Of the city council, tc
any proposition Of public improve

aside from these. no public improve

Clark, S. D., Sept. 21.--One of the
largest private collections of natural
history specimens in the world is
owned by Fl. j. Hindersman of Redfeld,
this state. Mr.. Hindersman is modest
IN his claims, but thinks that his col
lection may be the, most extensive and
Vidual in the United States.
The, collection includes birds, eggs,
animals, beetles, moths, butterflies, rep
tiles, sea-urchins, sea-mosses, shells,
corals, coins, stamps, marbles, stones,
ores, woods, Indian curios besides
relics, curios and specimens Of miscel-
laneouss character. The specimens
came from all quarters of the globe
and represent the work Of thirty five
years.
The Collector and His Travels.
Mr.. Hindersman was born in West
phalia, Germany, fortysix years ago,
and as boy had a pronounced love for
natural history studies. He has tray
world save Australia and some of the
islands of the Indian ocean, and has
searched, the ruins of Rome, Athens,
Egypt, the coasts of the Pacific ocean
and the interior of China, for. his coins,
The forests of South America and
the wilds Of the West Indies were Wis
1ted years ago. Great labor has been
expended in sorting and arrangement,
as nearly every one of the thousands of
specimens is classified and bears it's sci
entlfc name, and name of place where
found, or it's original home. Every year
he takes trip, roaming in UNPRECEDENTED
or deserted places of the world.
Mr.. Hindersman is a man of medium
height, slender, with light, clear skin
and keen, vigilant eyes; and is quick
and accurate of movement. He is of
a nervous temperament and when talk
ing upon any subject connected with
his vocation becomes enthusiastic. He
is a good shot, an expert taxidermist
and has tremendous capacity for
work, He is genial and easily ap-
preached.
His collection is on the first floor of
q two-story frame building. The first
floor Of this building contains small
full length Of the building; a small
room in the northwest corner, where he
works, studies and writes; and room
Just east of the study, where books on
natural history, government reports and
authorities on scientific subjects are
kept. His collection is in the main
room.
Mr.. Hindersman is contractor and
carpenter by trade, but has now given
up this work to devote his entire time
to science. He goes home only for his

woods. Around the entrance are rocks,
ferns and leaves.
One of his arrangements shows a
rufous hummingbird near it's nest and
in the nest the bird s egg. A mink
sucking five young is also another eff
fective piece.
Bird Collection.
The birds number FIVE hundred speci-
mems, nearly three hundred varieties of
which were obtained in this state.
About two hundred and fifty cannot
be seen at the museum, as there is no
room for them there. The specimens
are carefully stuffed and mounted. The
chief interest in this department. lies
in the South Dakota birds. The brown,
hermit and wood thrushes are repre-.
sented. The hermit thrush was shot

song from his own. doorway: About
twenty varieties of warblers are
shown, and of hawks native to the
state there are five kinds.
