New Orleans, August 21.—The Times' Corpus Christi special gives an account of the storm on the lower Texas coast and Mexico. Matigeas looks as if bom barded, brick buildings being torn to ieces. It is estimated three hundred louses were demolished or unroofed, and stocks of goods destroyed. The loss is estimated at $500,000. Brownsville is in but little better condition. At Point Isabel and Brazos the storm was most disastrous. In Brownsville Latimer's machine Bhops and adjoining buildings are in ruins. The streets are full of debris, houses wrecked and trees and fences blown down. The infantry barracks were badly shattered and con siderable damage done to the officers' quarters. Twenty-eight horses and seven mules belonging to the government were killed, the artillery barracks unroofed, cavalry stables blown flat, the convent unroofed and the fence blown down. The tug Ethel, atad steamboats John Scott ana Geo. Brown sunk. At Point Isabel the Petrito was wreck ed, the sohooner Julia Willet blown ashore, and the Bravo went to pieces. The pilot boat Adam is missing. The quarantine station and the old light house at Brazos are gone.

T., Aug. 20.—A party went out to the 'Woodruff farm, foijr miles west of the Cheyenne, and brought in two farm hands, William Elliot and Ben Carlson, injured in the cyolone. Elliot is hurt about the shoulders and Carlson internally, and indefinitely as yet. Dukelow, foreman for Wood ruff, died Thursday night of his injuries, and was buried this after noon from the court liouse. Mrs. Duke low, wife of the last named, is badly in[ jured, internally. Only one person, MoBride, of the Woodruff farm, was uninjured. He was in the granerv when the storm struck and jumped from it after it had left the granery. He luckily fell into a hole just as apiece of lumber whirled along the surface, barely escap ing him. A German family, living near Woodruff's were all abed in the upper story when the storm struck. The house entirely wrecked. All escaped serious injury but a babe five months old, whose skull was crushed in by fall, ing rafters. It lived only twenty-four hours. No further particulars of the damage are in. It is not thought that the loss will be as serious as at first supposed, the actual path of the oyolone being short and narrow. No reduction in the out-turn of Bed river- wheat will be noticed, and the average yield many localities is far above estimates. for Sale, A bouse and lot ou the corner of Bur leigh and Fourth streets, Lower Tank ton.

Dated Elk Point, July 21,1880. By order of committee. ALEXANDER HUSHES, Ch'n. Stutsman county will cast its one vote in the Vermillion convention for Bennett. AnpstroOf icounty's oiie"httUpt will be given to Baymond in the Vermillion con vention. A movement is on foot for the organ ization of Morton county as it was recon structed by the last legislature. The Deadwood Times charges that t}ie Pettigrew move in the Hills is made in the interest of Judge Moody, and this the Press denies, giving as a reason thati had the Press been desirous of secretly advocating the chances of the judge ofl the first district it would have turned its1 efforts towards carrying Lawrence coun ty for Judge Bennett, thereby opening the way for a dark horse. These are'the charges and the rejoinder. A rumor is afloat in this section that a break is to be made for. Judge Moody and the coinci cidence of reports may have some foun dation. Gen. Ben Harrison opened the cam paign in Indiana with a speech largely devoted^ the annullment by the su preme court of the constitutional amend ments defining the qualifications of voters in Indiana, with these words for his text: ''We can safely trust the de cision of every public question to the "body of our (Qualified electors but "revolution and ruin will not tarry long: "when violence rules the precinct and "fraud presides over the court." The' speech embodies a narrative of the ef forts of the republicans of Indiana to guard the ballot box against fraud and the counter efforts of the democracy of Indiana, assisted by its democratic su preme court. General Miles telegraphs that eight hundred renegade Sioux have surren dered at Fort Keogli and that one thous and more are desirous of becoming pris oners of war. The plan,of the interior department is to deprive these Indians of their arms and ponies and place them at some of the lower Sioux agencies where they will not be compelled to labor for a living. If this information proves true, there will be little need for the new mili tary posts constructed to protect the frontier against the raids of these hos tiles. Their' surrender in such large numbers indicates a general assent to the propositions made for their submission. Hitting Bull still holds out and has a con siderable following in the vicinity of Pop lar River agency. The republican congressional commit tee is at work issuing Scandinavian doc umentq-for the nprth^eBt Tijey consist of Garfield's speeches, Frye's speech and the financial achievements of the repub lican. pfctty, and Ihe. republican plat form. Large editions of those and simi lar documents are already out in the German language, and are doing good Bervice. The republican platform, Gar field's speeches, and Schurz's address at Indianapolis, are especially called for in the German tongue, and are being dis tributed by thousands. Documents in English are sent at the rate.of: fifty mail bags per day. A new flocifinent ..has just been completed embodying exttaets trom Garfield's speeches, not only poli tical, but of all descriptions, and contain some of his best expressed thoughts on every conceivable subject. The ever active governor of Dakota has in his mind a yet incomplete project for the perfection of a militia organization for our territoiy. His be lieves there is enough of the soldier ma terial here to enable him to plate the territory in a position to take care of it self incase our numerous untamed Indi ans evince a disposition to become hos tile and he believes that be can procure arms sufficient from the general, govern ment. "At any ratehe propo^lovsoxaid the people.upion this stabjebt and ifHhby will second his efforts, to dcr liis utmost towards placing Dakota upon a war foot ing. The idea is one which commends itself when we consider that there is no section of the east or west which con tains more material for a successful de fiance of authority than our own terri tory. We have within our boundaries forty thousand Sioux Indians—the, most warlike of all the barbarons tfibat'of the plains. While they are quiet their presence is not productive of danger, but should they decide to indulge in theii natural propensities there little in ttuj ~MT of .aftned force to, Movent: them. ?th an effettfve militiaMirgdniz^ nl^b^n^hsgj^tjgtag fip neighbors. The republican committee of Alabama has issued along address to the country giving the details of the process by wliioh, tho democratic party has gained absolute 'c6iitfbloI^e"'8TiitE~Iutimiclation'Tm3 murder were the first resort® and after a sufficient number of republicans had thus been kept from the polls to place every branoh.of thepublio service in the hands of the domocraoy, all laws protecting voters in their rights were stricken from the statutes and laws for the protection at fhe democratic party in the perpetua tibn ofHta" jtow^r were substitut&l. 'Thus it happens that the state of Alabama forms a portion of the south which is to day solid for Hancock and English. Like Alabama,'the solidity of other states 'litis been achieved first with the shot gun, and the whip and nest through the construction of laws which place the oount praotically in the hands of' the democratic party. With tl«fw advantage it is not surprising that the old element rules in every quarter, though in many sections it possesses a minority of the voting strength. Yet republicans are admonished not to refer to these things, because they may thereby arouse a spirit of sectionalism. Fraud and murder and outrages of every description, such as have given over the state of Alabama to ite rebellious element, are to be avoided as subjects of discussion, if we would have peace. From the tone of this Ala bama document,,we infer that tlie repub licans of that state will not keep silcnce. a't Rlntatail iio IVIHIHIII H. English and HIH Relation to (lie Poor Man. Washington National View. When William H. English, national banjier. b^ndliolder, mortgage dealer, and candidate for the vice presidency, goes armed with a slip of paper into the house of a mortgagee,'and turns the housewife with her children into the street, robs it of every household treasure set there by the hand- of affection' and to the husband who has seen' his wife suffer and his chil dren born under that roof who has little by little, through sweat and pain, built up his altars and kept their tires alight, says, "Go, this is mine. Law gives me all this," what does the law do to him, what does public opinion do to him? What does the party which claims to be pre-eminently the poor man's friend do to him Public opinion, in the form of poor men whom he has robbed, execrates him as the genius of cold and implacable money getting, as hard as his coin, and as narrow as his bank notes. The party which clamors for the poor man's grati tude beholds in him a fitting exponent of their legislative creed, and aslis for him the suffrages of the men he has robbed in the past, as they mean to rob others in the future. Public opinion, in the form of an outraged and betrayed people, will forever put a quietus upon this wholesale robber this cold oppres sor of helpless poverty this panderer to future debauchery and crime. Who shall say to what extremities the men and women he and others like him send homeless on the world shall be driven? What redress have they? What hope, save to starve in despair or become birds of prey. An eating sore on the body pontic, against whom, as tramps anil outlaws, office-holding plunderers will legislate! Workingmen with ho homes, or homes held by feeble tenure, whose title rests in hands like these men. whose wives and children fare scantily that four walls may shelter them, that their bare feet may touch the soil which no other man can say is mine. Working men with daughters, who, in their laugh ing youth, may be sent downward to worse than death bv the stroke of auction eers'hammer in what is yet your home. Workingmen, whose votes can settle the destiny of the nation, will you east those votes for a man from whose hands drip the sweat of a thousand ruined men and whose bank notes are wet with the tears of homeless women? Will you cast your not^p for a party who, from sell ing black ilesh on the auction block have come to selling white flesh on every tho roughfare of the nation Will you vote for the whited sepulchre who, in the false semblance of honor, sits in his iron bound chamber and threatens you with the law should you dare speak of his crimes, for crimes they are against God and human nature, though protected by inhuman law? In his own person Wm. H. English has been the fateful destroy er of other men's homes and hopes. In his own person he has given his support to the suppression of free speech and the right of all men to a free and fair hear ing. As the exponent and standard bearer of his party he personifies a sys tem which subverts ballots, which signi fies the dominance of caste, which would perpetuate poverty, making slavery uni versal instead of sectional which eagerly partakes of the spoils of its opponents, and has sold, for a mess of official pot tage, the birthright of its fathers. The innciples of the democratic party are ittmgly illustrated in Wm. H. English and le in turn is tho democratic party in epitome. They are joined to their idols. Let them alone. COUGHS.—"Broun's Bronchial Trochet" are used with advantage to alleviate COUGHS, SOBE THROAT, HOABSENESS and BRONCHIAL AFFECTIONS. For thirty years these Troches have been in use, with annually increasing favor. They are not new and untried, but, having been tested by wide and constant use for nearly an entire generation, they have attained well-merited rank among the few staple remedies of the age. "THE THROAT.—'"Brown's Bronchial Troches" act directly on the organs of the voice. They have an extraordinary effect in all disorders of the Throat and Larynx, restoring a healthy tone when relaxed, either from cold or over-exer tion of the voice, and produce a clear and. distinct enntlnciatidn. Tweakers and Singers find the Troches useful. A COUGH, COLD, CATARRH or Sore Throat requires immediate attention, as neglect oftentimes results in some in curable Lung Disease. "Brown's Bron chial Troche*" will almost invariably give relief. Imitations are offered for sale, many of which are injurious. The genuine uBronchial only in boxes.

Servant girls are in demand in Lead CHty. .s Hare is on his way to the Blaok Mr. Link, of South Bend, is improving his boarding house. A Chinese striker at the primaries is a curiosity of Deadwood. A woman, ptark. uakod, walkqd a tight rope in Sturgis recently. Tlie plhoer' inlerMK of^tlie ceulraT Hills are eagerly sought after. A,number of substantial, brioli, stfuc tiirefc are going up in DeAdwood. A fine body of ore has recently been struck in the Minerva mine, on Black tail, Ati infant three months old, died "in Deadwood of spinal menengitis a short time ago. There is a rumor in Lead that a two hundred stamp mill is to be built this fall at that place. Miss Plioobe Whitney, of Lead City has gone to Missouri to attend school, for several years. A great amount of work is being dono throughout the entiro silver belt on Bald mountain. The report is current, that another rich carbonate find has been made up toward Bald mountain. Deadwood has at last secured night messages over the different telegraph lines at half rates. More building material is now on hand and being worked up in Deadwood than at any previous titaie. .Nearly-all of the new settlers in the neighborhood of Bockerville are either from Nebraska or Iowa. Work on a placer claim opposite Chi natown, on Whitewood gulch above Deadwood, is still going on. James Mullen a resident of Fountain City was found dead on the hill side near that place last Sunday. The reading room of the Cosmopolitan hotel of Deadwood is said to be one of the pleasantest places in the city. It is complained that rocks from the De Smet mine-in Central are falling about too promiscuously for comfort. The Northwestern.Express, Stage and Transportation company are erecting a three story brick block in Deadwood. The Pennington county democratic convention will be held August 28th, at Kochford. The delegation will aggre gate sixty. The Atlantic, Gr.md Juration and Old Bill mines, near Custer, ore all magnifi cent properties, showing up large quan tities of high grade milling ore. The Onayliee mine, on Bald mountain, promises to be a.bonanza and is one of the most fashionably located mines on that belt, according to the Deadwood Times. The bonds given to Llewellvn and May, in the Curley shooting affair at Deftdwood, are the best that were ever given in a criminal case in Lawrence county. Deadwood experienced avery heavy fall of rain August 16th. The storm was heavy and extensive. Deadwood creek overflowed its bank in the lower portion of the city. The Kockerville flume company recent ly paid S25,000 in arrearages to' its em ployes. whereupon there was a big exo dus of questionable males and females to Bockerville from Deadwood. At a shooting match in Deadwood re cently for S500 a side, one hundred balls each, Wm. Swaringen, formerly of Yankton, was the lucky man, hitting ninety-eight out of the hundred. The Deadwood hotels change the line in their printed regulations: "Guests will please report any inattention of the waiters"—to "The waiter-girls will re port any over-attention of guests." Deadwood Times: The people of Cen tral who paid their fifty cents to hear what Prof. Hogan knew about the "work ingman as recognized by the world," were probably much gratified to hear his discourse wind up in an lectioneering speech for Pettigrew. Deadwood Pioneer: For a paper that has regularly been seized by the sheriff every day for three months, and that cannot get a printer to work for it, and that lias issued its last number every morning for three weeks the Pioneer is certainly doing pretty well, thank you. There is a prospect that soon some ex cellent mines will be opened up in Cus ter. Heretofore, the work of mining has been simple durface work, or mere "go phering," the men not having money enough to purchase powder, but there is a prospect of capital coming in to devel op the mines. The Northwestern stage comi purchased a block in Rapid Oityj upon which they are erecting stables, sheds, and other buildings, to be used by them when they transfer to that route. The company also design building their shops at Rapid, which will give employment to a large force of men. The reported big strike in the Carter mine on Elk creek turns out to be a gen uine find. Many prospectors are hard at work near there. A body of ore eight feet wide prospecting $20 to the ton, has been struck in the Carter mine, and about two miles farther up the creek a consid erable body of ore lias been discovered which will, it is thought, mill $6.00 per ton. Some of the "boys" at Kochford put up a job on tenderfeet employed on the Alta ditch on Little Castle creek. Secreting themselves they gave several Sioux war whoops, accompanying this with volleys from fire-arms. The tenderfeet were thoroughly scared and many left in dis gust, not being, persuaded out of their idea that they barely escaped a massacre orscalping. The fire department boys in Deadwood are enjoying a little "boom." Hitherto a tax of one mill has been levied for loses, fire which went to the fire wardens, county commissioners have revoked this rule, and hereafter the money will go to the fire department for new buildings, hose. etc. It will only amount to S400 for the rest of the year, but in other years is expected to sum up to a considerable amount. Mm. Il'iiuitow'* Soothing Nyrujt. Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the Christian Freeman:—We would by no means recommend any kind of mecucine which we did pot know to be good—par ticularly for infants. But (if .Mrs. Wins low's Soothing Syrup -we can speak from knowledge in our own family it has proved .a blessing indeed, by g'iving an infant troubled with colic pains, quiet wortcs perfeciion, and which is harmlesit for the sleep which' it affords the infant is perfectly natural, and the little cherub awakes as "bright as a button." And during the process of teething, its value is incalculable. We have frequently heard mothers say, that they -would not be without it from the birth of the child till it had finished with the teething siege, on any. consideration whatever.

Holt county is exhibiting its usual en terprise by supporting "The Frontier." at O'Neill Citv so well that it has been enabled to enlarge to an eight column paper.

It now shoots over from the Running Wa ter bluffs to the Niobrara side,then down the river to a point about one-quarter of a mile below the warehouses on the Da kota side, affording good crossing for the Milwaukee. WOMEN ATTHE BEACH. We New Haven Union. Kind reader, didst ever see two women bathe? They emerge from their bath house looking as if they had stolen some thing aud expected to see a burly police man bob around the corner, clap his hands upon tliem, and exultinglv crv, "Now I ve got you." Then they trip along half a dozen steps, not altogether like Dundreary or a sandpiper, but somewhat resembling .both. Then one says, "Oh, dear!" and reaches down to pick a pebble out of her shoe, while the other takes the opportunity to yell like a pair of panthers, and then' run- back with all her might to the bath house. Her mate, of course, dosn't get th« pebble out ot her shoe, but getasevaral'more in to keep it from getting lonesome. Then the 6ereamer tiptoes down,to the place and says. "What a fool-1 was!" The other comes down, having secured anew invoice of pebbles in transit, and creams, "What is it?' iAs .it is nothing but a devil's apron-string and not a snake, the screamer again says, "What a fool!" Then they lattgl). But they keep their eves about them, and each mouth is always ready to emit a scream. By this time-ifJUey reach the water's edge. A puntiy roller is advancing. It breaks a little way out, and as the line of foam is sent up, the beach they turn and scamper with all llieir might. Then one says "What a fool!" And other replies, "I know it !"r,rThmi they-talseOiold of hands, determined to do err die. Another wave makes them flinch and tremble and scream just a little, but they keep on till the teater reaches to what would be theirTmees if 'tliey were 'men. Now'they face each other, each holding the two hands of the other. Anybody who has seen the firemen at work on a hand engine will understand the motion readi ly. They keep this up for five or ten minutes, talking like a brace of parrots all the time, till on of them screams with all her might and runs half-way to the bathhouse. She stops,to remark that she knows she will-die, and looking down sees the cause of her scare—a blade of eel-grass tightly wound about her ankle. Spunking up courageagain, they seek tH water once more, and again the liand engflne manoeuvre is repeated. Then one of them whispers^ "There's a. man!" And the other says, "I don't care one bit," and runs with all her might to the bath house. Then, thq one who had seen the man saunters slowly after, picking up a shell or two on the way, pretending to think there isn't such a thing as a man in creation. By and by they emerge from the bath house, and ostentatiously display the key, towels and bathing dresses chatting in most voluble man ner. "It was just lovely I" one remarks, And the other says she feels "so refreshed you know," 1° WE w!f MAMMOTH Cl.OTHINC. llOllSK. sSLAUGHTERt E- I E S HARRY KATZ'S Mid-Summer Clearing Sale.

We charge upon the democratic party the habitual sacrifice of patriotism and justice to a supreme aud iuaatible lost of office aud patron age. That to obtain possession of the national and state government* and the control of place and position, they have obstructed all efforts to promote the punty. and to conserve the freedom of suffrage have devijed fraudulent certifica tions ana returns have' labored to unseat law fully-elected members of congreas to secure at all hazards the vote of a majority of the states in the house of representatives have endeavor ed to occupy by force and fraud the places of trust given to others by the people of Maine, and rescued by the courage in action of Maine's patriotic sons have by methods vicious in principle and tyranical in practice, attempted partisan legislation to appropriation bills, apon whose passage the very movements of govern ment depends have advocated the principle and sought the favor of rebellion against the nation, and have endeavored to obliterate the sacred memories of the war. and to overcome its inestimably good results—freedom and indi vidual equality and we affirm it to be the duty and the purpose of the all legitimate means to this union to the most may be practicable ana we submit to the prac tical, sensible people-of the United States to say whether it would pot be disastrous to the dearest interests of our country at this time, to surrender the administration of the national government to a party which seeks to overthrow the existing policy under which we are so pros* perousL and thus bring distrust and confusion ow order, confidence and hope, partv, adhering to the its last national conven the constitutional rules governing appointments to office, adopts the declaration of President Haye* that the reform of the civil serviee should be thorough, radical and oomplete.

Sec. 2. KINGSBURV, CLARK S. WEST, PHIL K. FAULK, for the Committee. Republican District Convention. There will be a Republican District Conven tion for the Second Judicial District in the town of Scotland, Bon Homme county. D. T., on Thursday, the 9th day of September, A. D. 1h8i. at 2 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of nom inating a candidate for District Attorney. The representation for the several counties will be one vote for each county, and one voteforevery 75 votes or fraction over 37 cast for District At torney at the November election in 1879. The several counties, will be entitled to delegates as follows: And, whereas, -the said resolution was duly published in the. official newspaper of said city, and the nece&tafy period of time thereafter having elapsed, and-plans aad speci fications of such sidewalk having been duly prepared and filed with the city clerk of said city, by the city engineer of said citv.

Sec. 4. And, whereas. John L.

And, whereas, the city engineer of said city did thereafter duly inspect said side walk, and did accept the same according to law and report his action thereon to the mayor and council of the city of Yankton, and his re port having been accepted and confirmed by them. Sec. Votes. Delegates. The republican party in national convention assembled, at the end of twenty years since the federal government was committed to its charge, submits to the people of the United States this brief report of its administration. It suppressed a rebellion which had armed ucarly a million of men to subvert the national authority. It reconstructed the union of the states with freedom instead of slavery as it* corner stone. It transformed four millions of human beings from the likeness of things to the rank of citizens. It relieved congress from the infamous work of hunting -down fugitive slavesv and charged it to see that slavery does not exist. It has raised the value of our paper currency from 38 per cent, to the par gold. It has restored upon a solid basis payment in coin for all the national obligations, and has given us a currency absolutely good and equal in ev ery part of our extended country. It has lifted the credit of the nation from a point where tt per eeut. bonds sold at 60 to that where 4 per cent. bonds are eagerly sought at a premium. Under its administration railways have increas ed from ttl.UXCmilcs in 1860 to more than 82.0C0 in 1870. Our foreign trade has increased from $7UU,iiCJ,UUU to $I,l50.tlUG.'UUO in the same time, and our exports, which were J'JQ.CJJ.OCj less than our imports in is*), were $ttl,uuo,uuu more than our imports in 187U. Without resorting to loans,' it has, since the war closed, defrayed the ordinary expenses of government besides the accruing interest of the public debt, and has disbursed annually more than $30.UU0,UUU for pensions. It has paid $88S.GUMJlO of the public debt, and by refunding the balance at lower rates has reduced the annual interest charge from nearly' $151,000,000 to less than 000,000. The intelligence of the nation is but the aggre gate of the intelligence in tin* several states and the destiny of the nation must be guided, not by the genius of any one state, but by the geuius of till. 4. The ^institution wisely forbids congress to make anyfow respecting An establishment of religion, but it is idle to hope that the nation can be protected aguinst the influence of sec tarianism while each state is exposed to it* domination. We therefore recommend that the constitution be so amended as to lay the 6. And, whereas, it has now become ne cessary in pursuance of the foregoing proceed ings and the laws in such cases made and pro vided, to levy a special tax on the lota, lands, &c.. so abutting on said Third street, on the north side thereof and upon the improvements so.made, viz: Upon lots numbered nine and ten of block or square number twenty-two, of that part of the city of Yankton kndwn as Lower l'ankton. Sec. 7. And, whereas, by the said proposal and contracts so made and accepted it appears that a special tax of forty-one dollars and twen ty-eight cents ($41.26) should be levied ur lot number nine, of block or square num* twenty-two, of lower Yankton, to pay cost and I expenses of one hundred and twentv-nine linear feet of side-walk so made at the rate of thirty two cents per linear foot and that a special tax I of fifty-one dollars and eighty-four cents ($51.84) 1 should be levied upon lot, number ten, of block or square number twenty-two, of lower Yank ton, to pay cost and expenses of one hundred I aud sixty-two linear feet of side-walk so made at the rate of thirty-two cents per linear foot. 1 Sec. b. Therefore be it ordained that there be and there is hereby levied a special tax of forty one dollars and twenty-eight cents ($41.23) up lot numbered nine, of block or square nnmti twenty-two. of lower Yankton, the said lot abut. I ting one hundred and fifty feet upon the north I side of said Third street, between Capital and I Pine streets, said tax being at the rate of twen ty-seven and thirteen twenty-fifths cents for each linear foot abutting as aforesaid, and be- I ing for the purpose of paying the cost and ex penses of one hundred and twenty-nine linear feet of side-walk made as aforesaid, at the cost of thirty-two cents per linear foot. I Sec. All the industries of the country have revived, labor is in demand, wages have increased, and throughout the entire country there is evidence of a coming prosperity greater than we have ever enjoyed. Upon this record the republican party asks for the continued coufideuce and support of the people, and this convention sub mits for their approval the following statement of the principles and purposes which will con tinue to guide and inspire its efforts: 1. We atiirm that the work of the last twenty one years haA been such as to commend itself to the tavor of the natiou. and that the fruits of the costly victories which we have achieved through immense difficulties should be preserv ed that the peace regained should be cherish ed that the dissevered union now happily restored should be perpetuated, and that the liberties secured to this generation should be transmitted undiminished to future genera tions that the order established aud the credit acquired should never be impaired that the pensions promised should be paid that the debt so much reduced should be extinguished by the full payment of every dollar thereof that the reviving industries should be further pro moted, arid that the commerce already so great should be steadily encouraged. 2. The constitution of the United States is supreme law .and not a mere contract out of confederate states it made a sovereign nutiou some powers are deuicd to the nation while others are denied xo the states, but the bouuda ry between the powers delegated and those reserved is t» be determined by the national and not the state tribunals. 3. The work of popular education is one left to tho earc of the several states, but it is the duty of the national government to aid that work to the extent of its constitutional ability. 9. And be it further ordained that there be and there is hereby levied a special tax of fifty-one dollars and eighty-four ($51.&l) cents upon lot number ten, of block or square num ber twenty-two, of Lower Yankton, the said lot abutting one hundred and fifty feet upon the north side of said Third street between Capital and Pine streets, said tax 1eing at the rate of thirty-four and fourteen twenty-fifths cents for each linear foot abutting as aforesaid, and being for the purpose of paying the cost and expenses of one hundred and sixty-two linear I feet of sidewalk, made as aforesaid and extend ing from the west boundary of said lot to the curl-line on the west side of said Pine street, at therate of thirty-two oentfe^ linear foot. Sec. 10. The special taxes levied by thif-, ordinance are hereby declared to be due and payable upon the passage and approval of this ordinance. Passed August 20, 1890. i. E. T.

We reaffirm the belief avowed in 1876, that the duties levied for the purpose of revenue should so discriminate as to favor American labor that no further grant of the public domain should le made to any railway or other corporation: that slavery, having perished in the states, its twin barbarity— polygamy—must die in the territories that everywhere the pro tection accorded to a citiicn of American birth must Im secured to citixeus by American adop tion.

The military guard which 'brought the prisoners to Yank ton will return to Fort Randall. The care which Governor Ordway in tends to send to eastern fain with Da kota products will be so arranged that the articles can be exhibited without .re moving them from the care, which will be run to the fair grounds over tracks laid especially for their transfer from the main lines to the grounds. Several so cieties promise to provide tracks for this purpose. Those interested in the artesian well project say they are determined to carry it through. They have been investigat ing the subject and find that the advant ages to be derived from artesian water are ten fold greater than'they first sup posed. It will be an experiment, bnt there is reason to believe that it will prove successful, and if it does Yankton will be greatly benefited thereby. Information reached us this morning that yesterday afterneon at the Bohem ian settlement seventeen miles from Yankton, Mrs. JaneEnoui was killed by a stroke of lightning. At the time the bolt struck tier she-was on a wheat stack assisting her husband, who was on a wagon pitching the bundles upon the stack. He was rendered unconscious, and when his senses returned he found himself lying on the ground some dis tance from the wagon. His wife was lying dead upon the stack, having been instantly killed. IMel f»r Sale. D. P. Sherwood, proprietor of the Grand Central hotel at Ft. Pierre, offers the property for sale. This is probably the best paying hotel property in Dako ta, being constantly filled to overflowing with a good class of permanent and tran sient customers. It is expected that Ft. Pierre will be the terminus of the North western railroad. It is now the starting point of two stage lines to the Hills. The only reason for disposing of this property is the fast failing health of the proprietor. Any hotel man who is seek ing an A No. 1 investment might find it to bis advantage to put himself in com munication with Mr. Sherwood, at Fort Pierre. Mtental. Dr. W. H. H.

The Fort Pierre and Deadwood Freight Line—Three Hundred Men and s. Two Thousand Oxen Employed. What En^Industry and Cofrecffiuai neu Methods Will Accomplish. The whoiifeale grocery house of Brain ble, Miner Co., has reoently been re moved from the large warehouse on the Levee between Douglas avenue and Wal nut street, where the firm has been doing business since the destruction of its store building and warehouses. by fire in .De cember, 1878, to Brace's block on the cor ner of Third and Capital streets. In the new location the firm occupies the two large store rooms.of the blook and the basement whiok is the full size of the building, all of which extensive space is occupied by the immense stock of goods carried by the firm. In the west room of the first floor are the well appointed of fices for the book keepere, salesmen and the private offioe of F. L. Van Tassel,the junior member of the firm, who has charge of this branch of the business. This firm had its beginning in 1859, just after the ratification of the treaty by which the Yankton Indians ceded to the government the territory comprising southeastern Dakota. In that year D. T. Bramble, the senior member of the pres ent firm, located in Yankton and opened small stock of general merchandise in the second frame building erected in the town. It was located on the corner of Walnut street and the Levee, which continued the site of business operations of the firm until 1878, when the original structure and all the buildings which had been added to and surrounding it to ac commodate the growing demands of the concern, were destroyed by fire. The fiim then occupied the large warehouse nearly opposite the old site, where it re mained until the jdaoe would no longer answer for the rapidly incfrfeasing trade and a removal was made necessary to the present commodious and more conve nient quartern. In 1859 William Miner purchased an interest with Mr. Bramble, and under the firm name of Bramble Miner the establishment grew in favor and became the leading merchantile house of the territory. In 1872, Bramble Miner and William Bordeno built the Excelsior mills and elevator, which was then and is yet the best mill property in the territory. In 1876, after the death of Mr. Bordeno, Frank L. Van Tassel pur chased an equal interest in the store and mill, and the firm became Bramble, Mi ner Co., and has so continued until this time. The cession of the Indian title to the Black Hills and the rapid settlement of that countiy, opened a new.ckannel of trade, which this enterprising firm was prompt in taking advantage of. Its trade in that direction grew so rapidly, both in groceries and the products of the Excelsior mills, that in order to meet its requirements the firm found it necessary to establish a freight line be tween Pierre and Deadwood. With them, to decide was to act. The freight line was established, and the business soon grew into immense proportions. In 1877 Mr. Bramble went to Deadwood to arrange for the transaction of the business at that end of the line, but finding the field so large and promising) justifying constant and able attention, he has remained there ever since, excepting short intervals during which he visited his family and business in this city. The freight line now employs three hundred men and about two thousand head of oxen, The capacity of the trains is seven hundred tons per trip, and as it requires about one month to make the round trip from Pierre to Deadwood, about five thousand tons are transported during the active freighting and steam boating season. Thus far this season the firm has loaded twenty-one steamers at Yankton with freight for the Black Hills. Each of these steamers carry an average of two hundred tons, making the aggre gate amount shipped by this firm this season a little over four thousand tons. To accommodate this immense traffic the firm has extensive warehouses at Fort Pierre, and employ a considerable num ber of men at that point to handle the bnsiness. In this city there are twenty-three men in the employ of the firm, representing about seventy-five persons. The busi ness'is thoroughly systematized, and is conducted throughout on strict princi ples. The wholesale grocery department is superintended by Mr. Van Tassel, the Excelsior Mills by Mr. Miner, and the freighting and Black .Hills branches of the business by Mr. Bramble. The business of the firm for the cur rent year will fall very little short of one million five hundred thousand. dollars. It is constantly and steadily, increasing. The end of every month shows an ad vance over the preceding one, and the ratio is gratifying and satisfactory. The great sucoeas of thii firm is due to the untiring energy and bnsiness skill of the individuals composing it. They are fair, honorable dealers, and omit no de gree of care and watchfulness to render full satisfaction to their customers. The firm is a Yankton institution. It was founded here on a small beginning, and here it has grownto its present large proportions. Its success has been achieved by indnihy, good busineB^ skill, and upright, honorable dealing. As such it is an honor to Yankton, and one which YaqUobtitkesplepBtirata honoring. A large stock of Cashmeres, in all the atest colors, just reoeived and for aale a, bottom prioee, at JACOB MAX'S.

Chicago*, Great Exhibition Aa Viewed By a Yaziktoalaa. a a a a Chicago, 111., Aug. 20th.—The trienni al oonclave of Knights Templar with its characteristic grandeur and magnifioenoe has completely occupied Chieago during the week, and such a jam and crowd of people one hardly cares to encounter more than once in a lifetime. One fact at least has been demonstrated by this tremendous gathering of the multitudes, and that is that Chicago with all its rest* lees enterprise and ambition is not quite up to the task of entertaining so large a company of guests, The famous "Grant boom" was a very "big thing" and was doubtless taken as a fair example of what might be reasonably expected on this oc casion, but the estimate did not begin to "reach" and Chicago for once was choked and well nigh strangled in at tempting to swallow sci large a mouthful. Hotels, boarding houses, lodging houses, and caravansaries of every description have been literally packed and crammed from cellar to roof. The immense camp on the lake front, three hundred feet wide and nearly a mile in length, studded thickly with government tents,was crowd ed to its utmost capacity with visiting Sir Knights and their ladies and private dwellings from one end of the city to the other have thrown open their hospitable doors to the fortunate thousands who came too late to be squeezed into the hotel oock-lofts. Your correspondent was lucky enough to fall into the hands of good friends on the west aide who cheerfully ministered to his necessities. Arriving in Chicago on Monday after noon with gripsack and staff I wended my way from the Kinzie'street depot down Canal street to the intersection of Randolph, and upon payment of five cents was permitted to hang by my eye brows to the edge of a Randolph street car, which took me to within a couple of blocks of my destination. A bath and a bountiful supper did not make me feel any less comfortable, and as the sun went down and the delightful lake breeze sprung up my eagerness to begin the fray commenced. A ride of two miles eastward on a Madison street car brought me to the neighborhood of the grand camp on the lake front where, after much expostulation, I was permit ted to enter, and after stumbling around over ropes and tent pins in this labarynth of canvas walls I finally found the camp of Columbia commandary number 18, of Sioux City, near Michigan avenue qpd directly opposite the foot of Peck court. Sir Knight Bailey of Sioux City was on guard and gave me a most courteous re ception. The other Sir Knights were out of camp "hunting up their baggage," and possibly taking in the sights and sit uations about town. It is astonishing how much business one finds on his hands the moment he reaches a city like Chica go. Out of the delegation from Sioux City, numbering about eighteen or twen ty Sir Knights, only one could be found in camp. I was told afterwards that Sir Knight Jim Booge had accepted an invi tation to lecture before the Y. M. C. A. at an open air meeting on Clark street and that Sir Knight John Cunningham had gone to Forepaugh's menagerie, just north of the exposition building, to see the trained bears and things. I met Sir Knight Cunningham later in the evening at the Palmer house, and as he said nothing about the menagerie, I am in clined to think the report was abase fic tion, invented by some political rival for campaign purposes. John was in full uniform, and among the hundreds of Sir Knights whose manly figures graced the grand rotunda, none were more conspic uously classic in form and feature than he. When John is on his dignity and full clad in his knightly armor the pleas ant lines of humor which so well become his genial countenance straighten out into the furrows of magectic firmness, and as his vertebral column becomes rigid, and his manly breast swells with chival rous pride, one sees in him the perfeot embodiment of stern, inflexible -knight hood—a veritable knight blooming seri ous—Sam'jpeur et tant reproche. On Tuesday morning I located a squatter's claim in a vacant doorway on Washington street, and watched the for mation of th—iccond grand division. Of course there was bad management on the part of the committee. Did any one ever see a grand affair of this kind pass off without a display of stupidity or in competency on the part of those in au thority? It is ever the old story so viv idly exemplified in the charge of the Light Brigade who rode to their death because "Somebody blundered." The commandares commenced forming at 8 o'clock in the morning and a finer, nobler lot of men never graced the thoroughfares of Chicago. Nine o'clock came and still the marching columns came ponring in—hundreds and thous ands and tens of thousands of snowy plumes marking the line of formation from Wabash avenue westward as far as the eye could reach. Bands of music at intervals along the line made the streets ring with their brazen chorus, and cheer after cheer from the dense crowds of spectators rent the air as the comman daries marched past to take their places in line. Ten o'clock comes, and still the lines stand firm the bands play and the crowds cheer, and the street from right to left is packed closer and closer with a surging mass of humanity, while the sun beats down with withering intensi ty. Eleven o'clock and still no sign of relief from this tedious waiting. The heat is almost intolerable, and the crowds settle back against the high buildings aa the shadowed space be comes narrower. The command, In place, re»t! has passed along the lines, and the Sir Knights, sweltering in the hot sun, are jaded and worn and ex hausted, though the march has not be gun. Women faint and strong men growl and curse as they wait and won der. The white plumes are doffed and the sword belts are unclasped as the Sir Knights gasp for a breath of air in the dusty street, while the mnajniana in their heavy uniforms seem ready to wilt and drop down upon the burning pavement. Another hour passes, and when the blaiing sun has fairly reached the senith and his rays are moat intense and fieroe, the order comes languidly up the line, Attention, Sir Knights! and after four hours of weary waiting, at last the col umn moves. Passing the grant/ master's arch on Wabash avenue, in review, the grand procession with bands playing and ban ners flying marches on, blook after block, then turns through Twenty-first street towards the lake front, then again northward on Michigan avenue. The line of maroh mapped out by the com mittee extends over a space of six miles. Most of the gallant knights have been under arms since early morning and yet their work is scarcely begun. The great pageant moves wearily on and now the head of the column is opposite the great camp. How invitingly cool the tents appear, and how delightful is the gentle breeze from the lake! Now a Sir Knight overcome with heat and fa tigue drops out of the column and dis appears among the tents. Now another, then another—then a group! Now an entire commandery deliberatly files out of H8» column into camp—and then an other, and another, and great gaps are left in the procession. Now a hotel is reached where several commanderiee are quartered, andioonits halls and corri dors are filled with sir knights who re fuse to march another Btep. And so the magnificent pageant—the most magnifi cent and grand ever seen on this continent —disolves and disappears,and a hundred thousand people along the route may stretch their necks and strain their eyes but the long expected pafttde will never reach them. Oh, sublime stupidity of management that can make such a fizzle out of an opportunity like this. The grand ball at the Exposition building was devised and managed by the same set of brains that distinguished itself in the morning display. With a full knowledge of the capacity of the building the committee deliberately issued invitations to about seven times as many people as could be comfortably accommodated. In consequence of this unwise action the streets contignous to the building were, by eight o'clock in the evening, filled with a perfeot crush of invited guests. Templars in full uni form, citizens in spike-tail coats, ladies in party dress, and people of every class, crammed and crowded towards the en trance by thousands and tens of thous ands until finally the doors had to be closed, making exit and entrance equal ly impossible. A gentleman friend and myself with three ladies, having invitations in due form, made an effort to accept the court eous hospitality of the grand ball com mittee, but we could not get anywhere near the door, and after a couple of hours of "tight squeeze" in the mob we backed out as well as we could and returned to our domicile to muse on the uncertainty of life and the mutability of human af fairs generally. On Wednesday morning I made a pil grimage to the Chicago Jockey Club park for the purpose of witnessing the compe titive drill of which you will read full accounts in the Chicago papers. The exercises were very interesting and the perfection attained in the templar drill by the various competing commanderies was truly wonderful. Monroe com mandery of Rochester, New York, came on the ground first and by its rapid and accurate movements elicited rounds of applause from the assembled multitudes. But this commandery with all its won derful proficiency failed to observe the programme of maneuvres laid down by the committee and so, after all, did not get any prize. Other drills followed in quick succession, and the firet prize was carried off by the Raper commandery, of Indianapolis. The exercises of the day were concluded by a mounted comand ery from Grand Rapids, Mich., whose ex ploits on horseback were greatly admired by the average American citizen who had never seen a cavalry drill. Extortion and imposition were the order of the day at Jockey Club park on this occa sion, for which the committee must ex pect to be blamed. Fifteen cents a glass for poor lemonade and ten cents for a pony beer, are outrages which no re spectable Christian community will long endure, and any individual of the human family who will try to sell lemons at 12% cents each, when the regular market price on the streets of Chicago is 30 cents per dozen, deserves to be sent to congress for life. The citizens and corporations of Chi cago contributed liberally to make the conclave a grand, unparalleled success, and no blame can attach to them if the undertaking did not prove to be all that was promised. No doubt the executive committee did what they thought to be right, but the crowd was too big for them. They will do better next time. I cannot conclude without mentioning that the Yankton Sir Knights acquitted themselves nobly during the whole of this gigantic celebration. Sir Knight John O. Bates and Sir Knight Bensinger were prominent in the sidewalk parade on Thursday. The rumor that they made expenses by investment in base ball pools is without foundation—I am satisfied that they did nothing of the kind. PILGRIM.

What "Industry and CofreripButii iiess Methods Will Accomplish. TheMole&filo'#r6oery house of "Bram ble, Miner Co., has recently been re moved from the large warehouse on the Levee between Douglas avenue and Wal nut street, where the firm has been doing business since the destruction of its store building and warehouses. by fire in De cember, 1878, to Brace's block on the cor ner of Third and Capital streets. In the new location the firm occupies the two large store rooms.of the block and the basement wlii&h ib the full size of the building, all of whioh extensive space is occupied by the immense stock of goodB ciuried by the firm. In the west room of the first floor are the well appointed of fices for the book keepers, salesmen and the private offioe of F. L. Van Tassel, the junior member of the firm, who has charge of this branch of the business. ThiB firm had its beginning in 1859| -just after the ratification of the treaty by which the Yankton Indians ceded to the government the territory comprising southeastern Dakota. In that year D. T. Bramble, the senior member of the pres ent firm, located in Yankton and opened a small stock of general merchandise in the second frame building erected in the town. It was located on the comer of Walnut street and the Levee, which continued the site of business operations of the firm until 1878, when the original structure and all the buildings which had been added to and surrounding it to ac commodate the glowing demands of the concern, were destroyed by fire. The firm then occupied the large warehouse nearly opposite the old site, where it re mained until the place would no longer answer lor the ra'pidly increasing trade and a removal was made necessary to the present commodious and more conve nient quarters. In 1859 William Miner purchased an interest with Mr. Bramble, and under the firm name of Bramble Miner the establishment grew in favor and became the leading merchantile house of the territory. In 1872, Bramble Miner and William Bordeno built the Excelsior mills and elevator, which was then and is yet the best mill property in the territoiy. In 1876, after the death of Mr. Bordeno, Frank L. Van Tassel pur chased an equal interest in the store and mill, and the firm became Bramble, Mi ner Co., and has so continued until this time. The cession of the Indian title to the Black Hills and the rapid settlement of that country, opened a new4channel of trade, which this enterprising firm was prompt in taking advantage of. Its trade in that direction grew so rapidly, both in groceries and the products of the Excelsior mills, that in order to meet its requirements the firm found it necessary to establish a freight line be tween Pierre and Deadwood. With them, to decide was to act. The freight line was established, and the business soon grew into immense proportions. In 1877 Mr. Bramble went to Deadwood to arrange for the transaction of the business at that end of the line, but finding the field so large and promising) justifying constant and able attention, he has remained there ever since, excepting short intervals during which he visited his family and business in this city. The freight line now employs three hundred men and about two thousand head of oxen. The capacity of the trains is seven hundred tons per trip, and as it requires about one month to make the round trip from Pierre to Deadwood, about five thousand tons are transported during the active freighting and steam boating season. Thus far this season the firm has loaded twenty-one steamers at Yankton with freight for the Black Hills. Each of these steamers carry an average of two hundred tons, making the aggre gate amount shipped by this firm this season a little over four thousand tons. To accommodate this immense traffic the firm has extensive warehouses at Fort Pierre, and employ a considerable num ber of men at that point to handle the business. In this city there are twenty-three men in the employ of the firm, representing about seventy-five persons. The busi ness is thoroughly systematized, and is conducted throughout on strict princi ples. The wholesale grocery department is superintended by Mr. Van Tassel, the Excelsior Mills by Mr. Miner, and the freighting and Black .Hills branches of the business by Mr. Bramble. The business of the firm for the cur rent year will fall very little short of one million five hundred thousand. dollars. It is constantly, and steadily increasing. The end of every month shows an ad vance over the preceding one, and the ratio is gratifying and satisfactory. The great success of this firm is due to the untiring energy and business skill of the individuals composing it. They are fair, honorable dealers, and omit no de gree of care and watchfulness to render full satisfaction to their customers. The firm is a Yankton institution. It was founded here on a small beginning, and here it has grown-to its present large proportions. Its success has been achieved by indnitiry, good business skill, and upright, honorable dealing. As such it is an honor to Yankton, and one which "Yaqkton ttkes'plefMUr* in honoring.

THE TRIENNIAL CONCLAVE. Chicago's Great Exhibition As Viewed By a Yanktoalan. To the Press and Dakotaian• Chicago, 111., Aug. 20th.—The trienni al oonclave of Knighto Templar with its characteristic grandeur and magnifioenoe has completely oocupied Chicago during the week, and such a jam and crowd of people one hardly cares to enoounter more than onoe in a lifetime. One faot at least has been demonstrated by this tremendous gathering of the multitudes, and that is that Chicago with all its rest2 less enterprise and ambition is not quite up to the task of entertaining so large a oompany of guests, The famous "Grant boom" was a very "big thing" and was doubtless taken BB a fair example of what might be reasonably expected on this oc casion, but the estimate did not begin to "reach" and Chicago for onoe was ohoked and well nigh strangled in at tempting to swallow so large a mouthful. Hotels, boarding houses, lodging houses, and oaravansaries of every description have been literally packed and crammed from cellar to roof. The immense camp on the lake front, three hundred feet wide and nearly a mile in length, studded thickly with government tents,was crowd ed to its utmost capacity with visiting Sir Knights and their ladies and private dwellings from one end of the city to the other have thrown open their hospitable doors to the fortunate thousands who came too late to be squeezed into the hotel oock-lofts. Your correspondent was luoky enough to fall into the hands of good friends on the west side who cheerfully ministered to his necessities. Arriving in Chicago on Monday after noon with gripsack and staff I wended my way from the Einzie'street depot down Canal street to the intersection of Randolph, and upon payment of five cents was permitted to hang by my eye brows to the edge of a Randolph street car, which took me to within a couple of blocks of my destination. A bath and a bountiful supper did not make me feel any less comfortable, and as the sun went down and the delightful lake breeze sprung up my eagerness to begin the fray commenced. A ride of two miles eastward on a Madison street car brought me to the neighborhood of the grand camp on the lake front where, after much expostulation, I was permit ted to enter, and after stumbling around over ropes and tent pins in thislabarynth of canvas walls I finally found the camp of Columbia commandary number 18, of Sioux City, near Michigan avenue %pd directly opposite the foot of Peck court. Sir Knight Bailey of Sioux City was on guard and gave me a most courteous re ception. The other Sir Knights were out of camp "hunting up their baggage," and possibly taking in the sights and sit uations about town. It is astonishing how much business one finds on his hands the moment he reaches a city like Chica go. Out of the delegation from Sioux City, numbering about eighteen or twen ty Sir Knights, only one could be found in camp. I was told afterwards that Sir Knight Jim Booge had accepted an invi tation to lecture before the Y. M. C. A. at an open air meeting on Clark street and that Sir Knight John Cunningham had gone to Forepaugh's menagerie, just north of the exposition building, to see the trained bean and things. I met Sir Knight Cunningham later in the evening at the Palmer house, and as he said nothing about the menagerie, I am in clined to think the report was abase fie tion, invented by some political rival for campaign purposes. John was in full uniform, and among the hundreds of Sir Knights whose manly figures graced the grand rotunda, none were more conspic uously classic in form and feature than he. When John is on his dignity and full clad in his knightly armor the pleas ant lines of humor which so well become his genial countenance straighten out into the furrows of magectic firmness, and as his vertebral column becomes rigid, and his manly breast swells with chival rous pride, one sees in him the perfect embodiment of stern, inflexible -knight hood—a veritable knight blooming seri ous—Samjpeur et sans reproche. On Tuesday morning I located a squatter's claim in a vacant doorway on Washington street, and watched the for mation of theUecond grand division. Of course there was bad management on the part of the committee. Did any one ever see a grand affair of this kind pass off without a display of stupidity or in competency on the part of those in au thority? It IB ever the old story so viv­ idly exemplified in the charge of the Light Brigade who rode to their death because "Somebody blundered." The commandares commenced forming at 8 o'clock in the morning and a finer, nobler lot of men never graced the thoroughfares of Chicago. Nine o'clock came and still the marobing columns came pouring in—hundreds and thous ands and tens of thousands of snowy plumes marking the line of formation from Wabash avenue westward as far as the eye could reach. Bands of music at intervals along the line made the streets ring with their brazen chorus, and cheer after cheer from the dense crowds of spectators rent the air as the comman daries marched past to take their places in line. Ten o'clock comes, and still the lines stand firm the bands play and the crowds cheer, and the street from right to left is packed closer and closer with a surging mass of humanity, while the sun beats down with withering intensi ty. Eleven o'clock and still no sign of relief from this tedious waiting. The heat is almost intolerable, and the crowds settle back against the high buildings as the shadowed space be comes narrower. The command, In place, rest! has passed along the lines, and the Sir Knights, sweltering in the hot sun, are jaded and worn and ex hausted, though the march has not be gun. Women faint and strong men growl and curse as they wait and won der. The white plumes are doffed and the sword belts are unclasped as the Sir Knights gasp for a breath of air in the vi dusty street, while the musicians in their heavy uniforms seem ready to wilt and drop down upon the burning pavement. Another hour passes, and when the blazing sun has fairly reaohed the zenith and his rays are most intense and fierce, the order comes languidly up the line, Attention, Sir Knights! and after four hours of weary waiting, at last the col umn moves. Passing the grant/ master's arch on Wabash avenue, in review, the grand procession with bands playing and ban nere flying marohes on, block after block, then tqrns through Twenty-first street towards the lake front, then again northward on Michigan avenue. The line of maroh mapped out by the oom mittee extends over a space of six miles. Most of the gallant knights have been under arms since early morning and yet their work is scarcely begun. The great pageant moves wearily on and now the head of the column is opposite the great camp. How invitingly cool the tents appear, and how delightful is the gentle breeze from the lake 1 Now a Sir Knight overcome with heat and fa tigue drops out of the column and dis appears among the tents. Now another, then another—then a group! Now an entire commandery deliberatly files out of WB column into camp—and then an other, and another, and great gaps are left in the procession. Now a hotel is reached where several oommanderies are quartered, and coon its halls and corri dors are filled with sir knights who re fuse to maich another step. And so the magnificent pageant—the most magnifi cent and grand ever seen on this continent —disolves and disappears,and a hundred thousand people along the route may stretch their necks and strain their eyes but the long expected pafttde will never reach them. Oh, sublime stupidity of management that can make such a fizzle out of an opportunity like this. The grand ball at the Exposition building was devised and managed by the same set of brains that distinguished itself in the morning display. With a full knowledge of the capacity of the building the committee deliberately issued invitations to about seven times as many people as could be comfortably accommodated. In consequence of this unwise action the streets contiguous to the building were, by eight o'clock in the evening, filled with a perfect crush of invited guests. Templare in full uni form, citizens in spike-tail coats, ladies in party dress, and people of every class, crammed and crowded towards the en trance by thousands and tens of thous ands until finally the doors had to be closed, making exit and entrance equal ly impossible. A gentleman friend and myself with three ladies, having invitations in due form, made an effort to accept the court eous hospitality of the grand ball com mittee, but we could not get anywhere near the door, and after a couple of hours of "tight squeeze" in the mob we backed out as well as we could and returned to our domicile to muse on the uncertainty of life and the mutability of human af fairs generally. On Wednesday morning I made a pil grimage to the Chicago Jockey Club park for the purpose of witnessing the compe titive drill of which you will read full accounts in the Chicago papers. The exercises were very interesting and the perfection attained in the templar drill by the various competing commanderies was truly wonderful. Monroe com mandery of Rochester, New York, came on the ground first and by its rapid and accurate movements elicited rounds of applause from the assembled multitudes. But this commandery with all its won derful proficiency failed to observe the programme of maneuvres laid down by the committee and so, after all, did not get any prize. Other drills followed in quick succession, and the fint prize was carried off by the Raper commandery, of Indianapolis. The exercises of the day were concluded by a mounted comand ery from Grand Rapids, Mich., whose ex ploits on horseback were greatly admired by the average American citizen who had never seen a cavalry drill. Extortion and imposition were the order of the day at Jockey Club park on this occa sion, for which the committee must ex pect to be blamed. Fifteen cents a glass for poor lemonade and ten cents for a pony beer, are outrages which no re spectable Christian community will long endure, and any individual of the human family who will try to sell lemons at 12}£ cents each, when the regular market price on the streets of Chicago is 30 cents per dozen, deserves to be sent to congress for life. The citizens and corporations of Chi cago contributed liberally to make the conclave a grand, unparalleled success, and no blame can attach to them if the undertaking did not prove to be all that was promised. No doubt the executive committee did what they thought to be right, but the crowd was too big for them. They will do better next time. I cannot conclude without mentioning that the Yankton Sir Knights acquitted themselves nobly during the whole of this gigantic celebration. Sir Knight John O. Bates and Sir Knight Bensinger were prominent in the sidewalk parade on Thursday. The rumor that they made expenses by investment in base ball pools is without foundation—I am satisfied that they did nothing of the kind. PIXIGBIM.
