if anybody was sick or died, or it the
captain wanted him to on any other
occasion, he was always ready to read

NV own acquaintance with Philip
Nolan began six or eight years after
the war, on my first voyage after

in the first days after our slave trade
treaty, while the reigning house,
which was still the house OF virginia,
had still q sort of SentimentaI1sm
about the suppression of the horrors
of the middle passage, and something
was sometimes done that way. We
were in the South Atlantic on that
business. From the time L 1olned'

Law chaplain-a chaplain with Dlue
coat, I never asked about him. EV-
erything in the ship was strange TO
me. I knew it was green to ask ques-
lions, and I suppose l thought there
was q 'Plain-ButtOns" on every ship.
We had him to dine in our mess once
a week, and the caution was given that
on that day nothing was to be said
about home. But if they had told us
not to say anything about the planet

a great many things which seemed to
me to have as little reason. l first

when we overhauled a dirty little
schooner which had slaves on board.
An officer was sent to take charge at
her. and after a few minutes he sent

Portuguese. We were all looking over
the rail when the message came, and
we all wished we could interpret, when
the captain asked who spoke Por-
tucuese. But none of the officers did ;
and lust as the captain was sending
forward to ask if any Of the people
could, Nolan stepped out and said he

ted out another boat with him, and IN
this boat it was my luck to go.
When we got there, it was such
scene as you seldom see, and never
want to. Nastiness beyond account,
and chaos run loose in the midst of the
nastiness. There were not a great
many of the negroes; but by way
of making what there were understand
that they were free, Vaughan had had
their handouts and anklecuffs knocked
off, and, for convenience sake, was
putting them upon the rascals OF the
schooner's crew. The negroes were,
most Of them, out of the hold, and
swarming all round the dirty deck,
with a central throng surrounding
Vaughan and addressing him in every
dialect and patois of a dialect, from
the Zulu click up to the Partisan OF
Beledeljereed.
AS we came on deck, Vaughan

! which he had mounted in desperation,
and said:

who can make these wretches under

and that did not soothe him. And then
I talked Choctaw to all of them to-

Nolan said he could speak Por
tuguese, and one or two fne-lookin&
Kroomen were dragged out, who, as i
had been found already, had worked
for the Portuguese on the coast a

Lives Of Number perlIcd.

Sioux Falls.-To have the granary
in which they had taken refuge from a
thunder storm demolished by a mira
ture tornado, ~inficting serious injuries
upon them, was the thrilling exper-
fence OF Mr.. and Mrs. L. J. Christopher
and children and Mr.. and Mrs. B. E.
Smith, while returning to their homes
from a trip to Pierpont. They were
overtaken on the highway by the
storm and stopped at a farm house to
take refuge. There was a case OF
smallpox in the house, so they ran to
the granary. The storm soon develop
ed tornado proportions and the gran
airy was blown rel and torn to pieces.
Mrs. Christopher a severely injured,
sustaining a bad wound over the eye,
and was otherwise badly scratched
and bruised. She was unconscious
when picked up. Mrs. Smith was pin
ned beneath the floor of the building,
and in some miraculous manner escap-
ed with only a few minor injuries.
Christopher and his two small chill
dren escaped without a scratch.

Offers U-eoat Remedy.

Sioux Falls.-Albert Jones, a Hud-
son man, believes he has solved the
problem OF curbing the activities of
the German submarine. His plan to
pull the teeth of the submarines Is in
the firm OF q crossfire b%attery-Or
rather four OF them-to be placed on
merchant vessels. The batteries are
SO designed that 1t is claimed for them
that they will explode a torpedo long
before 1t could possibly reach the boat
on which the crossfire batteries are
mounted. Jones has crossed the ocean
a number OF times and is familiar with
boats. His design has been sent to
Washington for inspection by officials
of the navy department.

Reports on Little Bend.

Pierre.-W. H. Finley, chief en-
gineer OF the Chicago and Northwest
ern Railway company. has been inves-
tigating the possibilities of a power
site at Little Bend. on the Missouri
river, and says Of the project that the
physical features are adapted to the
construction of water power by means
OF a diversion dam and canal. OF ap-
proximately forty feet head. The mini.
mum flow of the Missouri at Little
Bend is approximately 10000 second
feet. The approximate cost Of a by.
~dro-electric development at Little
Bend upon a safe and permanent basis
would be in my judgment, at least
twenty million dollars"

Tripp.-Charged with a violation Of
the espionage act and interference
with the military operations OF the
United States, fourteen farmers near
Trip, S. D.. most of them we'll to do,
were placed under arrest by United
States Marshal Thomas Taubman, OF
Sioux Falls, and taken to YanktOn for
a preliminary hearing before Commits
all released on $1,000 bond and bound
over to the October term of the fed
eral court at Sioux Falls.
The complaint under which the men
were arrested charges them with an
interference with the military and
naval operations of the nation, with
an attempt to cause insubordination,
d~isloyalty, mutiny and refusal Of duty
in the military and naval forces OF
the United States" and further
charges that the men INSTRUCTED and
attempted to obstruct the enlistment
Of men.
The complaint is based on a petit
tion sem by fifteen farmers to the
Hutchinson county officials at Olivet,
the county seat. The petition was
sen August s, shortly after the ap-
%portionment of the draft quota to be
drawn from this district on the first
call, The signers were: Gottlieb
Galster, H. A. Schmidt, August J.
Herr. Christ Herr, A. j. Stoebner, Got
tlieb H. Frey. Gottlieb H. PITT, Ludwig
Pippus, Adolph Herr, Henry D.
Schnable. Fred Helm, August Frede-
rick, Jacob Stoebner, Andres Stoebner
and Adam Pietz.
With the exception Of Jacob Stoeb-
ner, Andres Stoebner and Adam Fietz
all the men were arrested and taken
to Yankton.
The petition alleges that the draft
law was forced upon the people with
out their will or without a referendum
and that 80 per cent Of the people are
against 1t. The petitioners made three
demands: That the county officials
insist hat the draft law be submitted
to a referendum vote; that the county
repudiate all war debts. and that the
number drafted from the counties be
reapportioned. Unless the county Of
ficials complied with the demands OF
the petitioners they were threatened
with defeat at the next election. The
demand that the draft quota be reap.
portione dwas based on the fact that
1l6 men were ordered from Hutchin.
son county on the first call and Davi-
son and Minnehaha counties escaped
the draft call. This the farmers at.
tributed to the political interference Of
the Sioux Falls and Mitchell dailies.
There were only a few enlistments
from Hutchinson county. but the ac-
cused men ignored this.
