Redfield men who claim to have
charge of the work are asking the peo-
pie of Miller to give them the right or
way for a railroad starting at Winni-
peg and ending at New Orleans. 1t is
the same survey that last summer ran
into the North Western line between
Miller and washington. 1t was not
given much credence then, but now

No trace has yet been found of Will
lam, the seventeen-year-old son of
John C1oeter and wife, living in the
southwest part of Beadle county. The
last seen of him was Sunday Torning,
March a, when he took his gun and
started for Norwegian lake to shoot
ducks. Later the gun was found in
the boat. One end of the boat was
pushed out and part of the bottom
vas gone. An empty shell was found
in the gun and 1t is thought that
young Cloeter was accidentally shot
and fell into the lake. Dynamite has
been used and the lake dragged, but
the body cannot be found. The search
will be renewed as soon as the water,
which is deep, subsidies.

It's not question of whether the Sun
day closing is righ or wrong, but a ques-
ton of whether it is or is not the law. 1t
is the law and whether good or bad one
should be rigidly enforced so long as it is a
law. If it is bad law then it should be
repealed, but majority of the people must
think it good law as the proposition to
repeal it in the late legislature fell flat.
The laws should be enforced regardless of
whom their enforcement helps or hurts.
Six million and half dollars, the
the amount appropriated by the tenth leg
islature, comes dangerously near the ia
nous billion-dollar Congress appropriation,
which resulted in an overwhelming defeat
of the Republican majority in Congress
that voted it. Let us hope that the as
founding appropriation on the part of the
members of the tenth legislature can be so
satisfactorily explained to their constitu-
ents that the Republicans will not be de-
feated for reelection next year on account
of it,

D,DN,r KNOW BEANS.

"A magazine scientist" as one calls him, has discovered-or thinks he has, which amounts to the same thing with him--that there is a subtle irritant poi son in beans. We do not know whether any particular brand of beans is meant or whether the indictment in- cludes the entire bean family. All we know is that there's danger in beans For a character that the ordinary lay man cannot detect but "it gets there just the same.'
 The presence of this poison, accord ing to The Brooklyn Eagle, accounts fer the restlessness of the cubans, the hack sta bbinE, bolo-throwing propen- sities of the Tugalos, and other pecui- larities of Spanish colonial possessions, It also, The Eagle thinks, explains the burning of witches in Salem, for the Hartford convention, for the bitter New England opposition to the war with Mexico and various other Yankee pe- culiarities, and also accounts for John Quincy Adams, Charles Sumner and Ben Butler. But the most astonishing thing connected with this discovery Is the astonishing fact that the wise' overwise and otherwise New England CTS "didn't know beans," to use an old expression. If there is any height of human wisdom to which they have not attained-or think they have-we are not aware of it, yet this scientist would have us believe that for centuries the Yankee brethren have gone on eating tons upon tons of beans and were not aware that there was poison in every spoonful It is very sad.

RANCHEs vs. SMALL FARMS.

We had something to say few days ago about the desirability and impoF- tanee of small farms in place of bad Iy cultivated large plantations. The Southern Farm Magazine, published at Baltimore, refers to the case of a New York millionaire who has purchased 20 900 acres of land in South Carolina and proposes to establish large sheep ranch. On this our contemporary thus comments:
 That a greater number of men Of means have not established themselVes due principally to lack or acquattih- tance with the advantages there Tn .ne shane of cheap but fertile lands, equa- ble climate and opportunities TOT Iaar pSau- are beginning to be properly appre- ciated, but it will be a long day betoIe there could be anything ike ike S F., c[owe sreat land owners. still, the possibility IS not one to be viewed lightly IL IS fact that the most prosperous ana nap nv communities are those Of the small hut independent farmer. The growing worthlessness of the negro as tarm iaborer in the South, and his many drawbacks as a tenant or owner ol graateT and greater number of south ssrn farmers are obliged to depend unon their own resources Tn Worklns their land Deserted to the negroes, the land of the South would steadily degenerate. To maintain the whlte farmers of that section in their place If independence and to bring the soll up to it's full capabilities a large lnS crease must take place Tn the Dody oI white in1mi grafton and the fact must he kent to the front that $l0,OOO in- vested in productive farming IS worth more to the South than Sl0O,O0O invest ed in land to be occupied solely TOT pleasure,
 These comments are both timely and to the point Sheep raising in the south could be made a profitable in- dustry. and it is one that is now in- excusably neglected. It might be more general but should be di- versiAed. It would not be impossible for very rich man to secure such large tracts of land in almost any of the Southern States as this New York millionaire has purchased in South Carolina but it would not be desirable. This is not England or other European country where one man may o&n an immense tract of land and keep 1t for his hunting or pleasure grounds while thousands of other men are without homes A piece of land containing 2o,- 900 acres would furnish homesteads and

KEEPING A FOOL.

Tn the olden time the fool was an important part of the kingly retinue. As matter of courtesy he was some- times called the Kings jester or the court jester. but fool was what he really was, for he was the butt of king and court, and wasscsly valued for his power to afford amusement. An old French writer records that all the chill dren born in certain house were fools. and that the owners of the place derived a considerable income by sup plying fools for the nobles and others who could afford the luxury. But there were also many sensible men who were trained to become testers and who obtained positions with kings or lesser nobility. A court without a fool was lacking in one of the main essentials.
 To some extent we may be inclined to ridicule the old plan of always keep ing, a fool on hand. but mankind has not entirely lost the desire for the kind of amusement furnished by the fooi--  though we call them clowns now. Many people go to the circus or the vaude- vile show for no other reason than to watch and listen to the clown. In the old days which some of us still remem- Der. there was but one clown in cir- GUS and he was the Main feature of the show to a large part of the audi ence. The verbal encounters between the clown and the ringmaster formed the most enjoyable part of the per formance to the young and many of the elders. N
 When a circus advanced so far as to carry two clowns the announcement of that innovation constituted an im- portant part of the big show bills and added very much to the ticket sales. Now some of these travelling shows carry several clowns but what is add ed in quantity is usually lost in auai- ity So many clowns make the busi- ness too common and they have lost much of their interest. But however that may be. and however we may rid icule the idea of king or a great mo- ble always having a fool in his reti- nue, there are many who enjoy real clown as well as did those of the olden time.

A HALL OF LAUGHTER.

Somewhat to our surprise we find The New York Mail in full accord with our contention that it Is little less than discreditable that the names of James Fennimore Cooper and Edgar Allan Poe failed to be elected to a place in the Hall of Fame. while many names have been placed there of men and women who were not above mediocrity, to say the best of them. The Mail has this to say. among other things:
 The trouble about these singular exclusions and still more singular iu- clusions. in the elections to the Hall, seems to lie with the organization and with the personnel of it, but, one may say, with the mechanical operation of t. There Is not name on the list that is not worthy MT. Stedman, fault with the judgment of the body, is a member of 1t himself. But it votes in such a way that satisfactory concurrence along the line, of true class of authors, we all perceive that there are ridiculous exclusions; while certain other categories--for instance, that of distinguished men and wo- men outside of the above classes"-- have been absurdfy inflated in order to get any one from them elected. The method of selection will probably have to be changed, even if the great men have to be chosen one at a time by majority vote on general ballot, if it is desired to save the Hall of Fame from becoming a hall of laughter.
 No doubt The Mail is about correct in It's explanations. The four or five classes of public men who compose the electorate have views of such diver gent and often conflicting nature that 1t is almost to be wondered at if they ever agree on any name. That the er- TOTS both of exclusion and inclusion, have been so singular as to trench closely on the ridiculous is no doubt attributable to the views the different men on the board take of what makes a man famous. Some of them mistake notoriety for fame and others, we are persuaded. are guarded in their choice by the location of the candidates resi- dence. However all that may be, we agree with The Mail that the Hall bids fair to become the Hall of Laughter
