tunlty to hear a word of the testimon ;
The sheriff and deputies had a hi
scare that was amusing afterward , a

Says English Hate Yankees.
Oxford , England , July 8. Tl
charms and beauty of England ha'
captivated my whole party as we ne ;
the world's metropolis London , ar
our journey is more easy and deligl
ful because the Great Western Ra
way company have furnished us
special car , which Is switched off
each city and held there until we a
ready to continue our journey. N
only that , hut with third class ticke
they have given us a first class ct
and as we proceed they switch
about with more dignity and regult
Ity than if wo were general super !
tendents of the railroads in Americ
But from Keswick we coachi
through the region of the Englii
lakes to Windermore , where we toi
the train a distance of twenty-oi
miles up one hill and down anothe
We nassed Derwentwater lake , fenc
In by u thousand hills and kissed 1
the tip < of ton thousand droopii
bushes , each of which Is night
bathed with the tears from heave
Nor Is this all ; the very rocks bul
out from the foot of every hill ai
smile as though a daisy In the lie !
Then from this splendid vision \
pass to Grasmero and WInderrne
lakes , where lakes and sky kiss ea
other as though they were old swei
hearts , and always stay near togethe
On our coaching trip wo passed t
Kendall castle , Slzorgh castle , t
house of Hartley Coleridge ; Dove c <
tage. the home of William Won
worth ; Greta Hall , the home of Re
ert Southey , and also the graves
Wordsworth and Southey , and Wraj
castle , near Windermere , one of t
most magnificent of all the Inhabit
castles of the present day.
At Wlndermere we took our spec !
car , which was sent down from M
rose , and soon arrived at Cltester , :
ancient city of England , which in t
time of Caesar's success was a wall
city. We walked around the old wa
a distance of two miles. But the c
castle , once the glory of the city , h
only the ruins of the tower preserve
Wo visited the cathedral and i
John's church and found them ve
Interesting.
Still not contented with the chan
of travel , my party asked me to clu
tor an automobile for thorn , which
did , and wo coached to Eaton Hn
the beautiful palace and seat of t
duke of Westminster , a charming <
tate for the display of wealth , ai
then we crossed the country to I ]
warden , the magnificent home of t
late William E. Gladstone , and thi
further to the Beeston castle , and i
rived hack at Chester just In time t
take our coach on the London cxpres
for Strntford-on-Avon river. This Is
quiet , quaint old city with a rushln
business In the summer , when th
tourists come to visit Shakespeare'
birthplace. The housekeeper told u
that 40,000 people visited the horn
last year and that 20.000 of these wer
Americans. But when winter come
on the place becomes rustic and vcr
dull for merchants.
Visits Shakespeare Theater.
Our party got n special permit an
vlsltod the fainous Shakespeare Me
mortal theater , where plays are give
throe weeks elurlng the year. Wo als
visited the old grammar school whor
Shakespeare attended , as well as a
the other noted places.
From Stratford we coached to Wa
wick , Kenllworth , Guy's Cliff an
Leamington , where we joined our npi
clal car and proceeded to Oxfon
whore we are now happily domicile
at Pension Clare.
This Is a city of universities , thoi
being twonty.fotir In all. In Roma
times this was a walled city. A pai
of the old wall still remains.
Tills reminds me that at Keswlc
we saw the old Druid Circle , aboi
one mile from town. It belongs to tli
prehistoric times , for the Druids live
long long ago. There are thlrty-elgl
large stones In an oval shape and her
within this enclosure these prlmlth
people met and held their elovotior
and often included in their worshl
the burning alive of human beint
that they captured and who would ne
accept their religious creed. The
made their homos in the woods an
worshipped In lovely groves and fo
osts. At the height of their succoi
and conquest they spread terror to a
the surrounding clans and tribes.
England is so slow and business
carried on In such a different way thii
In America that you become very ne
vous If you start out to do somethlr :
In a hurry. A young couple recent
got married in Stratford and tl
groom bad a position that paid him ]
shillings a week or $3.12 In Unite
States money.
I was told that 20 shillings was co
sldered good pay for the week. Ho
can they live thus ? They exist enl
and life is hard.
Today ten men asked me for tl
privilege of taking our baggage to tl
train.

Liked London.
Amsterdam , Holland , July 16. Oi
stay in London was a delightful 01
and erich regretted that we had i
leave so soon , but every city ar
country has some special attractic
for the different people.
London has many fine art gallerii
that are noted the world over , as tl
Tate National , Wallace collectio
Royal Academy of Fine Arts , ar
many smaller ones. Then the Brlth
museum is one of the best In tl
world and second only to our o\\
Smithsonian institute in Washlngto
A very interesting and noted plai
is the Westminster Abbey , for here
is that many celebrated people of tl
past are burled and commemorate
Henry VII and Henry VIII are at re
here ; also Queen Elizabeth , Mai
Queen of Scots , Queen Anne , Cbarli
I , William III , Edward the Confessc
Rev. David Livingstone , besides poe
soldiers , scholars , inventors , edito
( we hope their sensations and fie :
times are all over ) and then there a
thousands of others who bore gre
honors away.
Tablets are also here of thousam
of noted personages. The poets' cc
nor is most interesting. These hem
Shakespeare , Wordsworth , Clufuce
Tennyson , Coleridge , Burns , Addlso
Drake , Gray , Johnson , John ar
Charles Wesley. But even the scho
boys and girls know the whole histo
of Westminster Abbey , so I shall tin
my thoughts to the life and times
the day.
London is thus a place to spend da ;
In study of the people. We we
through the parks and here you a <
the English In action. For exarnpl
in Hyde park , besides the beauties
the ( lowers and trees , It is the pla
for public speeches , for every thlr
feet or more you will see a crowd
people listening to some ( lery orat
pleading with the hearers. In 01
place the speaker pleads for womar
suffrage. In another for free trad
tariff , free love , anarchy , trade unlor
mission bands , the Salvation Arm
and one lone colored man was preac
ing the old gospel. In fact , you ci
hear a greater variety of speeches
Hyde park In two hours than you ci
hear at a high school oratorical co
test in America. The policemen i
not molest the speakers as long
the crowd Is quiet and orderly. The
another peculiar feature Is that whi
one man has given his opinion ho w
Invite a man from the crowd who h
a different opinion to come forwa
and give his views of the question
hand , and the whole discussion
amusing as well as Intensely Intere
ing. I really believe the street spea
Ing Is a benefit and education , ai
think that we might well have mo
In our American cities ; but one thii
I can not understand concerning tl
public speakers In England Is th
they are such awkward , hesltatli
men In their addresses , In fact , t
speakers In the parks are more flue
than those you hear In the courts ai
balls.
Then we found a large number
unemployed men , especially In Lc
don. This was assured frenn the fn
that so many men were begging ai
said that they could not find wor
The people who work for salaries ,
was told , wore treated more HI
slaves than that they wore cltizer
We are constantly reminded of t
tip nuisance In all the European cltlc
and you see It over hero and how It
worked. It Is Inexcusable and I g
the benefit of this nuisance when
have to tip hotel porters , waiters ni
maids , train porters and every vurle
for twenty-two people several time
each day , and at every turn there ar
a dozen who deserve no tip to on
who eloes. I am sure most poopl
we > uhl willingly pay more for u hole
or carriage If they know that ther
would be no bother ti worry abou
tips aftorTTnuis. No one likes the tl
system as It exists In those countries
and at every corner there are thos
who are waiting to extort money froi
those who elo not owe thorn one slngl
cent. This Is what Americans resenl
I think that this could be remedied 1
the American travelers In Englan
and Europe would flatly and absolute
ly refuse to give tips. My persomi
opinion Is that It is nothing more tha
robbery In another form and If on
ployers would pay their servants an
attendants decent wages , then the
would not be driven to this paraslt
life.
After enjoying the scenes and beat
ties of London wo left on a spoclr
train for Tilbury. This is a line llttl
town cast of London on the Tliame
river. Here wo took first class pai
sage on the Batavler steamer for Ro
tordam , crossing the south end of th
North sea. Tills voyage was one nigli
and a half day. The little ship wa
neat and cozy and we all enjoyed on
trip very much. When wo landed r
Rotterelam the custom house me
came and opened our suitcases , lool
Ing for cigars , wines , whiskies , n
volvors and a few other things. On
member of the party , who had a botth
offered the olllcor a drink , but he di
cllneel and passed on.
In Ho'land's ' Cities.
After another city tour in the grer
shipping point , Rotterdam , we turne
our faces north to The Hague , th
capital of Holland. The Hague is
much cleaner and a more Invltin
place than Rotterelam. We visited th
House in the Woods. Spanish prison ;
the Picture gallery , Royal palace an
several churches. But by a spech
permission I was allowed to visit tli
house of parliament , which has hi
come so noted because of peace coi
ferences. This was built in 1250 fc
a Roman Catholic church , but it hn
long since been used as a parllamei
bouse. The first peace conference wa
held in 1800 , and the second in 390
It was my special privilege to a
tend a session of the arbitration of th
fishery dispute regarding Newfoum
land and in which Great Britain an
the United States are the contestant
While there I heard the speech r
John S. Ewart , the king's counsel , d <
fendtag the interests of Great Britaii
but he was answered in a master !
speech by Judge George Gray , wh
spoke in defense of the United State
One of the guarels took me into tli
Hall of Knights , In which the parlii
merit meets on the third Tuesday i
September.
Holland is not a rich country , an
the people are not very progressiv
for you see them cutting wheat wit
a cradle and the women bind it wit
their hands , and are also seen doin
all kinds of work in the fields. It Is
great dairy country and you will sc
very fine cattle as you go about froi
city to city. The land is mostly II ;
and sandy , so that it is not very pn
ductlve.
The taxes in most of these Eur
pean countries are very high , and tin
the people are kept poor and almoi
driven to beg or extort tips in one wn
or another. Even the children ai
j sent by their parents to the railwa
stations to meet the trains and be
from the people.
Many of the people of Hollan
speak good English and are frlendl
but always expect money if they a :
swer your questions or assist you I
any way.
English Don't Like Us.
I really believe it would be a sple :
did thing for these European cqu
tries , and I know It would be fe
Americans , If they would stay at lion
and spend their money there. Thes
people elo not like the American pe
pie , and especially the English do ni
like us , and really they are the mo
conceited people on the earth. I su
pose they do not like us because v
whipped them twice in the revel
tlonary war and also the war of 181
and I am sure we can do It agal
Nowhere , we are told , are America
tourists treated with less courtes
than they are in England. But Sec
land makes up for this , and nowhei
will you receive more respect ar
courtesy than by the Scottish peep
on their native soil , nor do linger afti
they have served you to get a tip , ar
now we admire the Scottish peep
more than ever because we see the
at home and this is where we real
come to know folks' properly.
In talking with brokers and banke
I find a great deal of doubt about 01
American stocks and bonds beli
worth what they are daily selling fe
and many seem to think that we mi
have a panic at any time and the be
torn fall out of our prices. This Is
great detriment to us , and for thh ? re
son our stocks sell over hero te
steaply , and this Is an outrage on 01
American commonwealth , for I belle' '
we have as stable a currency and i
valuable stocks , bonds and securltl
as can ho found In the world. I a
sure that this false Impression Is di
to the reports that are published
the English and European paper
During the summer I have read a dc
en papers , in which I found glarir
sensational statements which said tl
United States was in another terrib
panic. And now I am told by the pe
pie who live hero that the nowspapo
keep this up the year around. To si
the least , it is very unjust to us ai
ought to he stopped if posslbl
Young as our nation Is , wo hai
enough wealth to buy England ar
half a dozen other countries and at :
have enough paper money to start
small bonfire.
But I must close In the comrnercl
city of Holland. Amsterdam. Fro
there wo go to Hanover , Berlin , Dre

BETTER DAKOTA CROPS.
Rains During Present Week Have V
Been of Much Benefit.
Sioux Falls , S. D. , July 30. Ral
this week have somewhat retard
harvesting operations throughout t
state , but have proven of great her
fit to such crops as have not mature
and especially corn , which general
Is In excellent condition , In many
calities promising a larger yield th
for several years past. The small gra
which has matured has unusual
short stalks , and this gave rise to t
fear a few weeks ago that the Sou
Dakota crop would bo very rnu
smaller than during former seasoi
But It has been found that while t
stalks are short , the heads are genially
ally largo and well filled. It Is nothl
uncommon for the heads to exte
fully one-third of the length of the (
tire stalk. The great size of t
heads compared with the shortness
the stallc Is duo to the cool weatli
enabling the grain to stool or root i
usually well , and to favorable weath
while the heads wore filling. Becau
of the surprising size of the boa
numerous fields which at one time we
regarded as nearly worthless will i
yield well. The quality of the grn
also Is much better than would bo c
pected. Threshing will become ge
oral In about ton days or two weeks.
