A CUBAN TRAIT.
Cruelty to Animals One of the Marked
 Characteristics Of the Natives.

Cruelty to animals is a Cuban trait and carried to such an extent that some means should be adopted to put a stop to the atrocious overlooking and the driving of lame or sick ani- mals. If anything is done to this end 1t will come through Americans. as even the better class of Cuban will "slde-step' reforms which are likely to cause him to exert himself. He may object to cruelty to animals in the abstract. but he never put his principles to practical use If he wants a carriage and is approached by driv- CTS with horses unfit for use. no re- monstrance is heard. and the result is that the number of lame and sick horses in use in Cuba is large and at once attracts the attention of the American traveller. A few sharp words 10 the driver of such a team. telling him why the prospective passenger re- fuses to use the carriage. might go far toward fighting the wrong, but this would require eXertion. Down at Gu
 bitas l saw a poor mule. which had been badly injured by a train. being dragged along tied to another animal Every movement was torture to the poor beast, yet several powdered. CO., lonial rural guards looked at the spec tacle with perfect indifference. The animal should have been killed at once as was afterward done at the urgent request of a young English man, who was continually remonstrat- ing with drivers for their cruelty On one occasion a man who was beating a horse told him that "it served the animal right for being born a brute"
 The driver of oxen carries a long pole with a sharp steel point at the end, and with this he prods the poor beasts in an unmerciful manner. If wheel should geI into a rut. instead of trying to pry it out and help the animals, the driver will prod the oxen until, in sheer madness from pain, they have been known to break the traces by the sudden jerks. A crowd of indolent. lazy Cubans will gather about and smoke and smile at the per formance, yet not one will go to the rescue.
 Even the dogs on the island come in for their share of the natives brutality They are neglected and half starved. and nine out of every ten are suffer- ing from mango. If there. is a dog law as to worthless animals running at large. it is not enforced. and one draw back of a shopping tour in a little Ha- vana coach is that some poor dog is usually run over aud injured during the trip.

MEDICAL ADVERTISING.

He was Q wise ecclesiastic who re- marked in defense of tuneful choirs and melOdiOus pipe organs in churches that he did not believe in giving the devil 9 monopoly of the good music. The principle extends to other things.
 IL applies. for instance, to the atti- tude of the "ethicaI' members of the medical profession toward advertising These gentlemen are forever deploring the tendency of people to patronize those whom they term advertising quacks." Is not this another case of permitting the devil to BonOpo!ize the good music? If people rush to the "quacks'' because the 'quacksr adver- tise might they not be attracted to the legitimate practitioners if those scien- lists should advertise?
 So far as We know the strictly "eth- ical' physician is the only business man who deems it disgraceful to ad- vertise what he has for sale. He has skill and professional knowledge in stock, but he refuses to inform the public of the fact. How long would any other business last if it were con- ducted on that principle?
 To relinquish the advantages of ad- vertising to the so-called "quackS'' Is merely to give the "quacks" the tre- mendous benefits derived from judic- iOus publicity. In nearly all other lines of business than medicine there is the keenest rivalry in the matter of advertising. In that profession men reprehend what nearly all other busi- ness men deem vital in the conduct of their business.
 It is encouraging to note that there are signs of an awakening even among the 'ethicar' physicians. In his ad- dress before the Illinois Medical so- ciety at Rockford. pr. Percy of Gales burg. the president, recognized the sit uation.
 We must change our attitude to- ward the public on the subject of newspaper advertising" he said. "The irregulars use the press extensively and they educate the public to the in jury of all real scientific advance. We must use the same means to forward the true aims and objects of science" pr. Percy. in short. does not believe

Surprise of the Future May Be Japanese Influence in South A merica.

London, May 31.-The European tion between the United States and Japan are engaging ;he attention oi
 the weekly reviews of London. The Spectator comments upon the absence of America and Germany from the sys- tenn of alliances now embracing Great Britain. France. Russia and Japan and after dealing with the various reasons that animate America and Germany in holding aloof, the paper says that the one object of the alliances is to enable Europe, plus Japan, to press the advance on China with irresistible weight. This, however. as a means of preserving peace in the East will not be possible unless Europe is united. and the Spectator therefore urges that Germany be courteously invited 10 en- ter the European ring and that inquiry should be forwarded to Washington whether America intends to await events CT join Europe and Japan in a scheme for securing in the Far East a long period of opportunity for peace full and fruitful advance.
 The Saturday Review in an editorial dealing with the relations between tho United States and Japan. draws at- tention to the great sympathy of Latin America toward Japan. as indicated by the welcoming of Japanese immigrants to South America and the fostering of trade and commerce with the isl- and empire. The Review then dwells upon the assumed identical ethnic origin of the Japanese and Indians oc Latin America and says that perhaps among the surprises of the future will be the development of a widespread Japanese influence on the Latin American continent, based on the un- suspected ethnic grounds which may terribly upset that manifest destiny" of supremacy over the American con- tinent which American statesmen have been proclaiming since the early days of the republic.

SUNDAY CLOTHES ARE DEAD.

The old custom of having best clothes" for Sunday and holiday wear has died out. The necessity for look ing well on working days sounded the death knell of finery that was so little used that the expense was hardly war ranted. Employers insist upon a good appearance and good sense says that the clothing that makes one presenta- ble on six days of the week should be able to do creditable service on the seventh.

WEEDS THAT ARE WORTH


 Recently the bureau of plant indus try of the United States department of agriculture has been giving its atten- ton to the weed" writes F.. B. Clark in The Technical World Magazine for i. May. To-day it is telling the farmer that that which he has been looking upon as pest has its uses and that it may profit him to consider the weeds. It is not a matter of common knowl- edge that some of the weeds 1nfesting' the land will produce the crude drugs which today. in large part. are obtain ed by importation from abroad. Alice Henkel. an assistant of the govern ment's plant industry bureau. says that the roots. leaves and flowers of sev- eral of the weed species regarded as plaques in the United States are gath cred. prepared and cured in Europe. and not only for useful commodities there. but supply to a considerable eX- tent the demands of foreign lands.
 There are weeds in this country against which extermination laws have been passed which hold in their leaves. stems or roots medicinal properties which have value in the work of pre- serving the health of the nation. It is possible in ridding land of weeds in order that crops may be grown. to make of the uprooted pests source of income. Moreover it is possible to maintain upon land given over as worthless for crop growing purposes, a weed plantation. which after the harvest, will prove itself to be not less profitable than some of the titled fields"

 THE NEW TEXT BOOKS. - The territorial board of education yester- day spent all of the day and more than half the night in the quadrennial adoption of text books for the schools of the territory. And all the time rep resentatives of various school book publishing houses thronged the corri- dors of the capitol building in the vicinity of the office of the superin- tendent. The morning session of the board was spent in the opening of bids. In the afternoon the business of making selections was begun anti after dinner it was resumed at eight o'clock. It was not until after mid night that the work was complete There were really not a great many changes. Among the new books adopt ed were the Wideawake Primers: the first second and third readers of Art Literature; Welch's Arithmetic, series of two; Tarr and McMurry's series of geographies, and Emerson and Renders Grammars.

POSTMASTER WELLS.
The New Postmaster at Mitchell
Is u Dakota Pioneer and
Worthy OF the Honor.

All the old timers in Lincoln coun-
ty know .'Jim" Wells, one of the
liveliest reliable sguare-toed boomers
on earth. He has been recently APP
pointed postmaster at Mitchell vice
Bras whose term had expired, but
was candidate for another term at
the solicitation of the mugwumps.
The present republican delegation in
the lower house said nay to the Bras
appointment and James E. Wells was
named. A Mitchell correspondent
has this to say of the genial, gentle
manly, old time Lincoln county boy:
"James e. Wells, the newly APP
pointed postmaster here. is an old
line republican and has been resi-
dent of Dakota territory and South
Dakota since 1873, having settled
with his parents in Lincoln county
that year. In 1880 Mr.. Wells came to
Dawson county, where he has since
made his home most of the time in
the city OF Mitchell. He served four
years as treasurer of this county in
the latter eighties. and for number
of years has been engaged in the alb
stract and real estate business. He is
also agent for the American Express
company of this city, the newly elect
ed republican county chairman and
member of the city council of Nit
chell. Mr.. Wells is Al years Of age
and was the leading insurgent fighter
in this county one year ago, his ward
being the only one in Mitchell that
was carried for Governor Crawford
last May. He will make a tirst-class
postmaster, is the verdict of the Nit
chell people.

The Wall Street Scare.

The water Is bound TO get squeezed
out Of railroad stocks before the scare
is over. 1t will be a long time before
people forget Harriman's system of
robbery. The entire speculative wall
street mob are about crazy and are
begging the President to help them
out. The President can do nothing
to help them. This mob Of public
plunderers who rob by the million de-
fed the President and congress and
the people and then turned Hartman
loose to tell an already suspicious
public how he robbed and plnnaered
the stock holders of various roads and
incidentally the public until he piled
up $50, 100000 of stealings, and then
laughs at the cry of indignation arous-
ed by his Infamous transactions
Is it any wonder that honest inves-
tors shun wall street and the million
aire thieves who prance around with
the "divine right. and ''people be
i'd" class and stick up their wine
colored nose at the people of whole
state when they asked for the privilege
of running their own business.
The freebooters ruled with a high
hand. They had their Kittredges in
every state and they placed their Kit
tredges in the United States Senate
and defied the President on rate reg
ulation and put their jeweled fingers
at their snouts and said we own the
senate what are you going to do
about 1.-THE people be id.
Thus have these corporation rob
bers pranced through the country,
placing their tools in high places in
all the states and then debating legis-
lation and denying and defying the
people.
The people have suffered with mild
protest for years, then they ceased to
beg for their rights; they threw over
board the corporation minions and
assumed the right of self government,
and now the dictators are seeking a
way to escape their sins and follies.
In last desperate effort they are
asking the President to help them
out Of the storm they brought upon
themselves, they want protection from
the. people whom they scorned. In
the skinning process down in Wall
street the fellows who have been deal
ing in bubbles and selling water want
some one to keep them from drown
ing.
Let them drown; they have destroy
ed hundreds of good men in their
Hartman like deals and smiled at
the wall of anguish from the plunder-
ed widows and hungry orphans. They
have robbed and plundered and boast
ed of their iniquities as Hartman
did, and now an outraged people turn
upon them in wrath and say, Thou
shalt not rob; you must obey the
law"
Wall Street forgets that the Harri-
man tale is responsible for the great
slump in the speculative program,
and while the Harrimans plunder,
the public will look with suspicion
upon every Wall Street game and
hold their money tighter.
We of the west can watch the game
without alarm.
A Wall street panic may shear the
sheep and destroy the bulls but it
will not disturb people who are
strong in honest wealth and no long
er borrowers from money power
that is ruled by gambling market.

Canton as a Railroad Town.

Sixty-fve trains in and out of Can
ton in "a hours is the new record and
everything moved like clock work.
The pumping station under the man
agement of William Mason supplied
every engine with water from the big
tank and all other facilities were pro-
vided. This large number of trains
was partly due to the food condi-
tions between Vermillion and Yank-
ton, as all traffic for that branch
came north and went west through
Canton.
Canton is an important railroad
center at all times, and the regular
traffic is large and constantly grow
ing. During the busy season last fall
there were sixteen trains in and
hanging onto the edges and sides Of
the Canton yards at one time. 1t
was at night too, and all were NOV
ing toward the four points of the
campass. About 1890 when the
evening accommodation came in from
Sanborn, it was then found that there
was no room for that passenger to
land her passengers near the depot.
A big freight was holding that end of
the eastern track, but there was room
to run her onto the Beloit switch
track and this was done. One of the
Cannon Ball crew carried a lantern
and walked ahead of the freight to
Beloit where it was sidetracked for a
time. Then the anxious passengers
were safely landed.
This congestion doesn't happen
every day, but it is seldom that there
are less than half dozen trains at
Canton at once bound for points east,
west, north and south. The railroad
business at Canton is worth some
thing like one hundred thousand dol
lars year, and the passenger travel
can't be accommodated in the ancient
and partially burned depot, and that
is one reason why President Earring
has promised Canton new depot
and President Earling never forgets a
promise.

Railroads and the Public.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: A poi
icy of frankneSS and fairness on the
part of railroads is advocated by j. b..
Thayer, vice president of the Penn
sylvania railroad, in dealing with the
public. Conditions at present are
disturbed, and troublesome mistakes
may be committed unless the right
spirit prevails. In an address before
the Traffic club of New York Mr..
Thayer said: "Let us approach the
subject with the feeling that the
railroads are not absolutely perfect.
Let US undertake to go frankly before
the people and present the actual
facts in connection with our affairs" !"
Invested in the railroad business is
about 5000, 100000 and it is fully
able to stand on it's merits 1t may
be assumed that the people are not
inclined to war upon it wantonly or
deny it legitimate profits. But it is
true that the public wants to be
shown that the railroads are conduct
ed on correct business principles.
Mr.. Thayer's advice that policy of
frankness be adopted is good. Rail-
roads are intimately associated with
the affairs of the people, and right
ad iustments are to be desired from
every point of view. No advantage
could be derived from cutting rail-
road income below the line of fair re-
turns. Safety of travel which de-
pends on proper management and i'm
provementS, is one of the prime con-
siderations. Accidents Of late have
been alarmingly frequent and serious.
II legislatures push reductions too
far the railroads ought to make the
point clear by candid statements.
But if something is withheld, or any
form of Juggling attempted. the re-
suit will not be good on either side.
Railroad administration at the top
has been far from satisfactory to the
people or the main body of stockhold-
ers and a general spirit of distrust
has been aroused. Giving the facts
squarely will conduce to better feel
ling generally in the railway business.

Of Madison's people at two public

the social events Of the season. The
governors house was the home Of the
great violinist, Ole Bull, and is con-
sequently one of the Historical
houses" Of Madison. Much of the i'm
teresting history of Ole Bull is con-
nected with this house. AT the gov
ernor's reception which was attended
by about one hundred prominent Wis
consin people, Skoygaard was asked to
play on his Stradivarius. Selecting
the very spot on which Ole Bull had
stood and captiYated hundreds Of his

Skovgaard played Ole Bulls master
