Heavy showers late yesterday
drenched the eastern. part of. South
Dakota. The. rain, which, was gen

mately one inch. In Mitchell. the
rain totalled .95 Of an inch.
In tho territory adjacent to Nit
chell. the rain extended eastward
from Presho to Dolton. 40 miles to
the east. There were good showers
from BOLTON eastward to the state
line. North of Mitchell, the rain ex-
tended. over Aberdeen. Redfleld.
Pierre. Huron, and Mobridge. The
rain also stretched nearly to Sioux
City and the Nebraska line on the
south. -
The rain in Mitchell started with. a
light shower shortly before 3 o'clock
in! the afternoon. Within a few

and lasted for nearly an hour.

Henry was not upon the, best, of
terms.
Thus it comes about that the harp,
which is deemed SO typica1ly Irish,
was imposed upon Ireland by an
English king; but had not the United
Ilrfshmen, although they decrowned
the harp in 1898. adopted 1t as their
emblem and Grattan's parliament
recognized the harp, although they
did not the green ground, 1t is hard
ly likely that the average Irishman
today would regard it as other than
an upstart burgee.
Still another national device to be
considered is the "Lamh .Dearg
Eirinn," the Red Hand of Ireland,
which, upon a white ground, vas
borne by Shane and Hugh O'Neill's
armies that defeated Queen Eliza
beth's generals. }
The early hours of the nineteenth
century saw ireland inflicted with
the st. Patrick's Cross, a red satire
upon a white ground. What St. Pat
rick had to do with it nobody can
say, but some emblem or the other
had got to be Incorporated in the
hBritish flag upon the passing of the
act of union, and so the hera1ds did
tho rest. Wherever they got the red
satire from Is not known, but there
is reason to believe that it was bor-
rowed from the arms of Trinity Col
lege, Dublin, which. had in turn Dor
rowed 1t from the Fitzgerald family.
In all probability Ireland will
adopt the sunburst -upona a blue
ground, the chief reasons being its
antiquity, its distinctly Irish origin
and it's symbolism of Ireland rising
to take her proper place among the
nations. ,.,s aal -
But come what may. the ground
Of the new flag is going to be blue,
Teh Sim Feiners are resolved upon
that, and that the flags material
shall not he silk or cotton, but good
Irish linen.

.lRELAND'S NEW 1 A
! MAY HAVE NO HARP,
:N&&GGEEd

What flag shall Ireland fly? This
is a question that is again being dis
cussed as the time draws nearer for
the final passage of the home rule
bill, writes a London correspondent
of the New York Sun. y
Probably no country has had more
national flags than Ireland, so that
Eof old-time flags the range of choice
us by no means restricted. The most
ancient, without doubt, is the Spear
and Serpent" said to commemorate
the curing by Moses of an ancestor
of Milesius who had been bitten by
a snake. Then there is the golden
sunburst upon a blue ground, EN-
|blem of Fionn MacCumhall's Fenians
(militfa). Blue was always Ireland's.
national color until 1898, when the.
United Irishmen, to signify the blend.
ing of north and south, evolved a ma:
tional color of the hue formed by
the amalgamation of blue and orange
namely, green.
Another flag is that which Crom-
wells soldiers are reputed to have
seen when fighting the Kernes, a red
cross upon a golden ground. Opinions
as to whether such was W a ma
tional emblem or not are divided,
many people believing it to have been
the arms of an i%nsurgent command
|er. ."
.
The three golden crowns upon a
blue ground is another emblem which
has not been overlooked. The design
appears today in the arms Of Munster
and the three crowns are said to
typify the triple Kingdoms of Des-
mond, Thomondr and Ormond. Any
way, this flag was the emblem of
ireland from ITO until 1547, when
Henry VIII of England substituted
the harp for the three browns, the
reason being that Henry was anxious
hat the three rowns should not be
confused with the triple tiara OF the
pope. with whom, at that ju%ncture,

IL seems evident that the ad-

took the German advance toward

were falling before them.
