Came Hero to Get Well or Die.

Hugh German, after scenting the
pure ozone of South Carolina, has to
return to his native heath in Scotland.
llc is not a criminal nor is he pau
per, but he has acute asthma and
Uncle Sam does not want him in this
country. Hugh German camo to
South Carolina with a number of
other immigrants from Scotland via
Philadelphia. How he passed the
officers is not known, but he did and
he is now in this State. Special Off
Ger Rcnick Miles, Jr., OF the United
States department OF immigration,
went TO Columbia last week and will
see that German is returned to Scot
land. The steamboat company that
brought him here will have to take
him back free of cost.
The other day thirteen Scothmen
came to this State to settle. They
were all bright young men and will
soon join in the spirit of this State.
German is an elderly man and the
immigration officers are puzzled to
know how he managed to get through
the lines. Commissioner Watson is
as anxious as any one else to get none
but healthy men to come here, but,
OF course, he cannot have an exami-
nation made on the other side of the
water of every intending immigrant.

Awful Mormon Vows.

AT the Smoot hearing, in Wash
ington, last Wednesday, before the
joint committee of the Senate and
House, j. III. Wallis, Mormon, from
Salt Lake, described the awful oaths
taken by those who pass through the
mysteries of the Endowment House.
The penalties agreed to for violation
OF these oaths were given by Wallis
as follows:
"That the throat be cut from ear
to ear and the tongue be torn out !;
that the breast be cut asundcr and
the heart and vitals be torn from the
body; that the body be cut asunder
at the middle and the bowels cut out !;
that, if demanded, we will give all
we possess to the support of the
church."
The next obligation was one of
chastity, in which the obligator agreed
not to cohabit with any person not
given him or her by the priests.
"Anothcr obligation was one that
wc would never cease to importune
high heaven to avenge the blood of
the prophets upon the nations of the
earth or the inhabitants of the earth,
| don't just remember which, said
the witness.
"Ths was followed by quotation
from the Scripture, l think, Revela-
tions SO, The souls Of those slain
cried aloud on the altars for ven
geance.'

Russians Satisfied With Situation.

St. Petersburg, December H.
The general staff apparently is en-
tirely satisfied with the military stu
alton in Manchuria, being convinced
that the Japanese have reached their
high tide. A high official said to
the Associated Press to- day:
The japanese army is unique in
military history and probably the
strongest in the world, combining
the strength of barbarism with civili-
zation, drawing from the former
fanatical bravery and scorn of death,
and from the latter the latest knowl-
edge of the science of war. We
have been fighting them under heavy
handicaps, but have at last definitely
stopped them. They have missed
the psychological moment. They
should now be at Harbin with Vladi.
vostock and the East literally cut off
and in de facto theirs, instead of
wintcring where they are.
The cold is Russia's ally now, as it
was against Napoleon. The Japa-
nese cannot endure extreme cold like
the Russians. They are not strong
enough to attempt to turn Mukden
now, and will not be, even if Port
Arthur falls and $4,000 reinforce
ments are sent up to join Field
Marshal Oyama. In the meantime
Russian troops are piling up behind
Mukden. In February, before the
port Of New Chwang is ice free,
Gen. Kuropatkin will have close upon
half million men disposed in three
armies, amply sufficient to turn
Oyama's position at the Shakhe
river and force the japanese back
into Korea and the Liao Tung PENN
sula.

The GRAPHIC receives among Its
exchanges Il good many papers from
outside the state and its editor has
access to the contents OF Il good many
atiiefS vi the same kind. The editors
OF many of these newspapers came
out to register in the Rosebud draw
ing-moSt of them to Yankton. With
one accord they speak OF the excellent
treatment received at Nankton and
particularly of the low rates for ac
comodations. And they all give South
Dakota the best kind of a Send.otf, to
boot. lankton certainly did itself
proud. Had the the thousands Of
visitors there run up against the
brace game and mob of cutthroats at
BonSeteel they would have looked at
the whole state through different
colored glasses. Too much credit can
not be given Iankton-but BonesteeI
was a bowling disgrace. 1T is fair to
say, IN this connection, that all who
went to Chamberlain were Splendidly
taken care of-but that is so charac-
teristic of this hospitable little town
that it was to be expected.

y resident of Pierre-who. for obyi.
ious reasons. does not want his name
used-pGt the editor Of the GRAPHIC
on to a very peculiar incident, Satur
day. On his way from his home town
he saw three dead engines being haul
ed east from Pierre on a freight.
What the locomotives had been taken
to Pierre for he did not know, though
the suposition was that they we're to
be grouped ard photographed, as
showing the daily run of business,
perhaps, or to refute Dad Osbon's
interesting comment upon a collision
in the Milwaukee wards at Mitchell
not long since: to wit: that an acct
dent could never happen at Pierre
because a train could not run into
itself. We await with considerable
interest the appearance of some of the
Northwestern motive power in a pic
turc of the capital city.

Notwithstanding that the Ladies'

press their 5000, 900 suit for damages
to a conclusion-and they will come
pretty near making it stick. A re-
traction won't let a newspaper out in
a case of this kind if it can be shown
that the plaintiff actually suffered
pecuniarv damages.

Official Paper Of tie City and Count,
The Pierre Capital-.Tournal saws.

ietiS Ndpitdl-JouFIal SAYS:
Mitchell must contain a peculiar
class of citizens. The papers from
that town are the only ones in the
state which do not announce ON
of their citizens taking Il chance
in the Rosebud drawing. They
evidently intend to show the peo-
pie of the state that they are CO.
ing ta~stand pat on flleir assertion
that nothing west of the Missouri
is worth looking at.
In the same issue we find this item
j. d. Nipple returned last night
from his trip to Yankton where
he registered for Il chance at Rose
bud. He and /. w. Goodner were
about a half hour in line and reg
lstered at the same time.
The Mitchell people have the merit
OF consistency and the courage OF
their convictions at least. If they
lived at Pierre they would show their
faith by filing on one of those ;s6,OoO
within Il few hours drive
OF the capltal' instead of running
down to Ianlton and trying to grasp
a slice of the Rosebud, incidentally,
every train that went out to Cham
berlain for two weeks carried dozens
of Mitchell people for the purpose of
registering for the Rosebud drawing.
The travel in and out of Mitchell is
too voluminouS to permit of the local
newspapers c%hronicling items which
provincial newspapers ot Pierre find
Of so much interest.

The New York Herald has come
out for Parker. Just previous to the
nomination of Bryan IN 1895 the Dem
ocratic party had much the best of it
in powerful newspaper support, SO
much that 1T was a matter of n small
concern and embarrassment to the
Republicans. But one by one the big
dallies swung over to the Republicans
until the close OF 1900 saw the party
without a single advocate among the
great newspapers of the country. The
Bryan Democrats said that it was
corporation influence and so forth and
so on, but newspapers OF the New
York Herald class cannot be SO reck-
oned. Like many other influential
newspapers it is owned and controlled
by n individual too far removed
from financial influences to be control
led by politicians.

The opening of the Rosebud tract

with no little regret that among the
land hungry one to be rewarded is
the writer of them-John a. Cough
Ian, associate editor of the Journal.

OF all trades and professlons-attor-
neyS, physicians, architects, civil en-
