AWAKENING OF AFRICA.

Mr.. Curtis. There will be, in addi-
ton, a number of subsidiary lines
feeding these trunk systems.
Fifty years hence there will be
10000 miles of telegraph and tele-
phone wires, 10000 miles of auto
mobile roads, 10000 miles of rail-
ways. There will be over 1000 steam
boats on the African rivers.
In the Zambesi and outhern Con-

production of pig iron to the value
of over S100,00O,000. There will be

EDITS PAPER FROM JAIL.
Fairfax. S. D.. Editor Telephones Edi-
tOrials From His Cell


Like John P. McManus of the Pilot
Rock Record, who now writes his
editorial from the Umatilla county
Jail, W. I. Kortright of Fairfax, S. D.,
also edits his paper from his cell. A
dispatch from Fairfax says:
BY the aid of a telephone, Editor
w. I. Kortright of the Fairfax Sun
Review, is editing his paper from his
cell at the county JAIL where he is
being held pending the payment of a
judgment for $500 recently secured
against him by Fred Huston, recent
ly candidate for sheriff.
The election contest in the county
last summer and fall was an exceed
ingly fierce one and Kortright pub
lished number of editorials in his
paper making serious charges against
the integrity of Huston, alleging
among other things that while he was
member of the board of county
commissioners he accepted bribes
from an Omaha bridge company Hus-
ton was defeated, and after the elec-
tion he brought criminal and civil suits
against the editor for libel.
Kortright refuses to pay the judg-
ment obtained, and has had a tele-
phone installed in his cell, over which
he dictates the editorials which appear
in the paper and attends to his other
duties as editor and business mana.

Last night 30 young men of tAs
for admission to the national guard
and signed enlistment papers for
membership in company I, third regi-
ment. Today others are taking the
examination before Captain Brosius
in the office of DR.. C. ]. Smith, and
1t is the hope to have a sufficient
number by this evening so that the
company can be mustered in.
At $3.50 last evening so or rs young
men were present in Music hall when
the session was called to order by
George Hartman. jr., who introduced
Adjutant General FINER. In a brief
way the general spoke of the require
ments of national guardsman and
explained the status, of the guard
under the Dick law. The requirements
are now much more rigid than for
merly, searching physical examination
being necessary. Then a guardsman
is subject to the orders of the presi-
dent at any time and in case of a
war may be ordered out with his
company and regiment. In this par
ticular the law differs from the one
in vogue at the outbreak of the
Spanish war. At that time separate
enlistment and another physical ex-
animation was required.
At the conclusion of Adjutant Cen
eral Finzer's address DR.. c. ]. Smith
was introduced and spoke for few
minutes, during which he prophesied
strong company for Pendleton.
Owing to the thorough physical ex-
animation required several hours were
consumed in examining those present
and it was then decided to continue
the work today. Many have been eX-
amined today in the office of DR.. c. j.
Smith and tonight meeting Will be
held for the purpose of mastering In
the company. 1t is desired to have
at least 5S men in the company before
the muster in.
