Advance the Interests of
the State Organization

tional Guard Of the State Is a propo-
sition to form a State organization of

commanding officers OF the First and
Second brigades would be invited to
assemble at some central point, not

the proposed organization. Other Of
ficers will later be asked to become
members.
The association will ask the repre-
sentatives of the people to appropriate
sum sufficient to place the guard on
substantial footing; to build arn1or-
les that will be safe edifices in which
to deposit Government property and
of such size that there may be suf-
ficient room for evolutions and the
proper instruction of the officers and
men In their duties; to establish
ranges: to supply ammunition to en-
able the men to keep in practice until
each shall become a first-class marks
ment OF the entire guard so 1t may be
in position to enter into active serv-
ice without unnecessary delay.
It is expected that the call for the
formation of the proposed organiza-
ton of officers will be issued within
two weeks.

EXPLOSION IN CISTEEN.
Dakota Minister'S Home Damaged by
Peculiar Accident.

One of the most peculiar accidents
on record took place at the home of
Rev Mr.. Siemsen, in the little town OF
Monroe southwest of Sioux Falls.
BY the explosion of cistern under
meath the house the dwelling was
Wrecked and Claus Vanviland was
badly burned, while the clergyman
and the members of his family had a
marrow escape from death by suffoca-
tion.
Shortly before the accident Vanvi-
land mixed up some cement with gas
Oline for the purpose of making some
repairs to the cistern. After a reason
able time had elapsed and he believed
the cement had dried out he opened
the top of the cistern, which is of the
jug shaped variety, and lowered a
lantern down into the cistern so he
could inspect his work and see wheth-
ler or not it had been properly done.
Instantly the gas which had been con-
fined in the cistern ignited and caused
an explosion that fairly shook the
earth The opening into the cistern
is only about two feet across, and
Vanviland was directly over this when
the explosion occurred. He was badly
burned on the face and hands.
The house has every appearance Of
having been struck by tornado. The
walls are torn loose from the floor, the
roof was lifted from the walls, the
chimney was knocked to the ground
and the whole building was moved
from it's foundation several inches

THIRD PASTURE.

Now we come to a 'frisky lot,
the Labor Union" editors. You
know down in Texas a weed call
ed LOCO" is sometimes eaten by
a steer and produces derange-
ment of the brain that makes the
steer "batty" or crazy. Many of
these editors are 'Locoed" from
hate of anyone who will not in
stantly obey the demands" of
labor union and it is the univer-
sal habit OF such writer's to go
straight into a system of person
al utilization, manufacturing
any sort of falsehood through
which to vent their spleen. We
assert that the common citizen
has a right to live and breathe
air without asking permission Of
the labor trust and this has
brought down on us the hate of
these editors. When they 60 far
enough with their libels, is it
harsh for us to get judgments
against them and have our law
yers watch for a chance to attach
money due them from others?
Cor they are usually irrespon-
sible.)
Keep your eye out for the 30
coed" editor.
