ing. He strobe with a slow, measured
gait, his head erect, his eyes staring
ahead, a man thinking, thinking think
ing for his salvation. Many hurrying
men looked at him, some with an
expression of unutterable hatred as
though they wanted to attack him.
Then again there were those who
called him by name with a laugh of
joy; and some turned to watch him
in curiosity. 1t was easy to pick the
wounded from those who shared in
his victory, and from those who knew
the frenzied finance buzz-saw only by
its buzz. Boz saw none. Where could
he be going? He came to the head
of the street of coin and crime and
crossed Broadway. His path was
blocked by the fence surrounding old
Trinity's churchyard. Grasping the
pickets in either hand he stared at
the crumbling headstones of those
guardsmen of Mammon who once
walked the earth and fought their
heart battles, as he was walking and
fighting, but who now knew no ten
o'clock, no three, who looked upon
the stock-gamblers and dollartrailers
as they looked upon the worms that
honeycombed their headstones' bases.

Brownley's mind only his Maker
knew. For minutes he stood notion
less, then he walked down Broadway.
He went into the Battery. The
benches were crowded with that Jet

none. But suddenly he stopped. Upon
bench sat a sweet-faced mother
holding a sleeping babe in her arms,
while a curly-pated boy nestled his
head in her lap and slept through the
magic lanes and fairy woods of dream
land. The woman's face was one of
those that blend the confidence of
girlhood with the uncertainty of wom-
anhood Twas pretty face, which

PAYING OLD DEBTS,

When considering the stalwart criti-
cisms upon state finances bear in mind
that the present administration inner
tied from the aforesaid stalwarts a
floating debt of three hundred thou
sand, which it is proposed to pay off
from the first tax levy, leaving the
state entirely debt free.
The foregoing is an extract from the
editorial columns of the Pierre Dako-
tan and the information it contains is
timely.
The newspapers of the machine are
discoursing at considerable length on
the extravaganza of the late insurgent
Legislature in its appropriations, says
the Sioux Falls Press, passing by in
silence the fact that all the extrava-
gance commented upon was incurred
during that portion of the past when
the machine was in charge Of the Of

DIPHTHERIA IN SPHINX COUNTY.

Redfield, S. d. July 20 Diphtheria
is raging in the country around about
this village with awful results. Last
week the 5-yearold daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. William Fuhrham, residing
two miles northeast of this village
died of the dreaded disease and on the
same night the s year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Bettner, living
two miles direct north of Mansfield,
passed away. Other members of these
two families are now sick with the
disease. Mr.. Bettner, who suffered a
shock from a lightning stroke few
days ago, is a victim and is quite low,
as are several other members of the
two families. Both these houses are
quarantined by Health Officer McNutt
of Aberdeen and it is hoped that the
disease will spread no further
A few days ago there were several
cases three miles west of this place,
two of which resulted fatally.

A JUG HANDLE COMPROMISE.

We give space to the following more
as curiosity than anything else. 1t
makes one laugh to hear our machine
friends speak of il as compromise. ;"
A compromise, we always supposed
is mutual agreement in which
concessions are made by both sides.
The jug handle compromise" pro-
posed by the machine is for the in
surgents to give to the machine two
places which the insurgents are
practically sure of, and to leave the
third place open to the field. But
read the proposition and the comments
by the Headlight:
A proposition for solution of the
factional strife in the republican party
of this state, which seems to have or
iginated in the Black Hills is as fol-
lows: Let Senator Kittredge and
Governor Crawford be reelected with
out opposition, send Eben w. Martin
back to the house of representatives

NOTWITHSTANDING their attempt to
use the federal courts to frustrate the
will of the people as expressed by
statutes in several states, the railroads
are meeting the demands of the peo-
pie in a way. The 2-cent rate estab-
lished from points in this and other
states on interstate passenger traffic
is a concession in favor of the new
laws. The fact is that the railroads
must all come to the lower passenger
rates on both interstate and state
traffic. The people are disposed to
be fair, and they believe 2-cent rate
to be fair, a belief which the railroads,
who are in possession of the only ex-
listing evidence, have not taken the
trouble to dispel. To fight the de-
mands of the people, to set federal
court against state court, to delay in
every way what the people know to
be fair, is not to stop the demands of
the public, or future legislation. What
is believed to be unjust and uncalled
for opposition to the new laws will
simply call for more stringent laws
in the future. We believe that the
railroads will see the matter in this
light and that not only will the
new laws be obeyed but the railroads
will institute some reforms of their
nun

and elect good "insurgent" republi
can to Congress from east of the river.
This plan looks extremely good to
the Headlight. 1t would leave the
most powerful and able senator this
state has ever had, or is likely to have
in position where his work will
benefit the whole country and reflect
the greatest credit on our state; it
would leave Governor Crawford in a
position to carry out his policies as to
state affairs untrammeled; it would
replace Congressman Martin in a po-
sition in which he had made a most
excellent record in behalf of his con-
stituents, and would concede large
portion of the republicans of the east
side congressman presumably in
line with their views.
Bretheren, there is no use in quar-
relling about water that has gone over
the dam. Why not admit that both
factions have learned something, and
get together.
Congressman j. Adam Bede of
Minnesota made his first campaign
on the slogan "Love one another"
and it was a success. Let the Sin
surgent" brother who wants to go to
Congress from east of the river strike
the key note and pitch the tune and
may harmony prevail.

The state board of assessment has
been at work at Pierre the past few
days and the work of assessing the
telephone property has been complet-
ed. The increase in the assessed val
uation of this property foots up to
$223,000 over the valuation of a year
ago. The increase is due to raise in
valuation of local exchanges and toll
lines. Country exchanges, especially
those that amount to mutual concerns
and do no toll business were lowered
in valuation. Railroad and express
companies come next.

what will the so.called reformers do

1t was only short time ago when
this same source of information, and
guardian of certain interests, told us
that railroads were not in politics.
But the people thought differently
and in several states anti-lobby laws
and railroad regulation laws were put
into effect. Now 5hey tell us that the
railroads have gone out of what they
once said they were never into. The

THE WOOL CROP
WILL BE
SHORT

Salt Lake City, Aug. 0.-With
practically all of this years wool clip
disposed of to the eastern mills and
manufacturers agents, ut a good
price, il is evident that the total sales
will be many millions of pounds less
than last year. As reports from Aus
tralia state there will be decrease
in the shipments from that country to
the United States this fall, a wool
famine is imminent. In Utah, Ida
ho, Montana and Oregon the clips
were much smaller than last year,
while Wyoming is short of staple if
not of weight. At least one-half of
the total deficit is attributed TO
Montana.
Perhaps the geratest factor in the
wool shortage is the high price of
lamb and mutton. So long as ranch
men find it more profitable to sell
sheep to butchers than to grow wool,
there is not likely to be any change
in the situation.

white ground marked off by black
lines into checks and a similar silk
in stripe instead of check are sue
cessfully used under some of the fig
ured stuffs.
A touch of velvet is likely to oc-
cur upon even the filmiest of French
frocks. and a new idea is the intro
duction of the use of chiffon broad
cloth into the trimming of lingerie
frocks. Several cloth trimmed lin
gerie models have been shown by eX-
elusive shops, and though this union
of trimming with cloth the sheerest
batiste. embroidery and lace, sounds
incongruous. the effect in each case
was emphatically good and called
forth complimentary comments from
every modish woman to whom the
models were shown on opening days.
The vogue is likely to be followed to
the fullest in the near future.
Skirts are preferably pleated, al
though there is every possible varia-
tion of the pleat shown. Good mod

play of trimming on the skirt than
any plated model can do. Plaits
left plain with wide insertion of lace
between are well liked and one that
bids fair to gain adherents by the
score, is the princess guimpe-dress
that is tucked above and below the
waist line to fit the figure that is cut
out very low and with big armholes
and that is worn with a matching
coat The sweep at the lower edge
of the skirt allows ample opportunity
for trimming and whether II be
braiding or lace or only folds of the
material applied in one way or an
other. II makes a handsome and al

Next to the white linens and lin
gerie stuffs, the lowered organdies
are much used; and while these ma
terials are not by any means new yet
they are so adaptable and obtain so
many pretty effects that women will
not easily let them pass out of fash
ion. They are one of the summer
fabrics that are especially suited to
the pretty silk colored slips so much
worn at present. Usually these slips
are in one of the colors the design
shows For instance, for a rose
strewn organdy there were two slips
provided, one of green in a most del
icate shade and a second of pink to
match the roses, and with different
sets of pink, green, and Dresden rib
bons the one gown made many chang
es for the wearer. Some of the thin
mercerized materials can be used in
the same way as champagne col
