late residence on Plerca street , and was at
tended by a good sized representation of the
sporting population of the city. The remains
wore clad In a rich funeral robe of cream
colored satin and cottly luce , nnd lay in n
massive metallic casket In the parlor. At
the head of the casket WASH bank of flowers ,
and grouped around it wera numerous beau

which the casket lay nnd these Immediately

sisterhood to which the deceased belonged.
Many of them were there from nmplo curi

had personally known the deceased , gathered
to pay their last respects to the memory of a
friend.
The services were conducted bv Uev. T. J.

burial service of the Episcopal church was

After n few very brief remarks , the services
were concluded with n fervent nnd most
touching prayer.
There wore few dry eyes , nnd m any a tear
of genuine sorrow was slicd when the ilnnl
leave was taken of the remains. The casket
was closed , eight pall bearers bore it to the

Rates for the Tournament
President Lacy , of the Firemen's associa
tion , states that ho is now working for rail
road rates that will bo even bettor for ttio
success of the tournament than tne cent a
mile for which sucn r. fight has been made
for the past two months. Said ho to Tn r
BEiiyestonlny : "The Burlington and Mil
waukee roads have signified their willing
ness to carry nil firemen free , nnd other vis
itors nt one faro for the round trip , and will
agree to do this if , the other roads will do the
same. If this rate is secured , the flrcmcn all
over the state will throw up their caps and
hurrah for Council Blufh. Such a rate as
that would fill every hotel in Council Blurts
and Omaha to overflowing , and would bring
such a crowd that our streets would swarm
with people. The railroad oflioials say that
tticro tint volunteer lire companies all along
their lines which have in years past saved
thousands of dollars for them , and never re
ceived n cent in pay for It. If this had been
done for private individuals , purses of $25 ,
Slit ) or $100 would have been presented to
tlicm as a token of appreciation of their
labors , but the railroad companies have
never paid a cent , and they now desire to
show the firemen that their services are not
forgotten. They feel that they ewe the lire-
men of the state a debt that calls for some
return , nnd in this manner only can they
fully reciprocate. The other roads have not
yet been BCCII. but wo nro sanguine that this
rate can bo secured. The outlook for tlio
occasion Is most promising , and wo arc
fully satisfied that the June tournament
will bo one of tlio greatest and most success
ful ever held. in the country. "

not n $75 house nt the very outside , nnd yet
there nro these who nro constantly kicking
because no first-class companies visit the

If such was actually the case.
However , this is not so , as many of the com

similar to that of last cvonintr. A fourth-
rate minstrel troupe , with n fair brass-band
attachment , is greeted with n packed house ,
but the eminent actors , who stand very high
In their profession , receive only the slightest
encouragement. This stnto of affairs was
almost the sole topic of conversation among
these who were out last night , nnd it was
severely and bitterly criticised nnd con
demned.
Just why this state of affairs should exist
has not been satisfactorily explained , nnd
TUB Br.n proposes to look Into the matter
nnd SGO if the true cnuso can not bo ascer
tained nnd n radical change effected , With
ono of the most beautiful opera houses In the

HUIIONS. . D. , May 7. [ Special to Tim
BUE. ] For n country that isyctin swaddling
clotlics only a child out at nurse Dakota's
credit is quite healthy. Trcusurer Bailey
tills week sold nbout $75,000 of bonds at a
premium of 1J per cent , the bonds
bearing only 4 per cent interest. This
is the lowest rate of interest which any of
our eight or ten series of bonds bear , nnd
we Unkotnns think the rate of interest and
tlio premium speak very highly for our com
mercial standing. For the last decade tlio
finances of the territory have been well
managed. There is over ? IiOOUO in tlio treas
ury to-day , which does not include the result
of the aforementioned bond sale. The
money tor this has not reached tlio treasurer.
Only a few of tlio district convent ions
hnvo been hold this week. Three-quar
ters of them nro set for May 0 , 7
or 8. Thus far the delegates nominated by
the republicans nro of the very best class of
eur people intelligent , temperate , upright.
If the nominees of next week are of equally
high character the convention of ISh'J will
rank along with that ot 'Sli ; and it was the
best assembly of good citizens ever known in
tlio territory. t
Governor Mellettb has given us no ap
pointments this week. Ho was at home for a
week "resting up" from the work already
done. Nearly all of his appointments nro
very satisfactory , barring the natural disap
pointment of these who.did not receive
plums. It is ever thus with the army of the
loft.
loft.Yet
Yet more of the Oklahoma mourners ar
rived this week. With an average of 2,000,030
acres in each of our ten land districts , with
out n filing ou any of it , wo can furnish
homes for hundreds of thousands of home
less ones , nnd then leave untouched tlio
11,000,000 in the Sioux reservation that may
be opened at some future date.
Hard frosts during some nights of this
week have done a little damage to the wheat
nt some points. In Miner county a few fields
were frozen to the ground. But the area
that was thus injured is but as n drop in the
bucket in comparison with the best fields of
wheat that were untouched. Our farmers
arc not sowing so largo an amount of wheat
us formerly. They find that some other
crops nro moro profitable. Corn put into
cattle and hoga gives n better return ; sheep
raising paj s well and costs nothing much ex
cept for dogs ; flax yields heavily with half n
chance. All this is dawning upon the
grangers nnd they are beglning to under
stand it.
A large nnmber of Russians just from
the "ould sod" have gone into Camuboll
and McPherson counties nnd nro rapidly
taking up the flue lands in that part of

The railroad commissioners nave organized
by electing .Tudson LaMoure , of Pembina ,
president ; .1. L. Hobinson , of Watcrtown ,

know it. lie has been a member of tlio leg

There is so strong n determination to readopt -
adopt the Sioux Falls constitution or ,
rather , such n unanimous belief that it will
bo adopted on May 14 , that there is danger
of not having a full vote out at that time.
But it is hoped that all the urcss will next
week enjoin every Soutli Dakota voter to be

corn planting u day to do it. Let us start

FUKSII FJIOM THE PHESS.
This is u novel , the incidents of
which illustrate life in the diamond
flolda of South Africa. Tlio plot is a
very common ono nowadays the faith
lessness of a wife to her husband owing
to her irresistiihlo passion for another
man , who in this case is an Austrian ,
llorr Sehwatkii. This gentleman after
his first sin in encouraging the illicit
love of Dainty Lauro behaves far hotter
than the iisiril run of such offenders.
Ttio llnalo of the plot is somewhat
abrupt , hut novel.
After reading the onlsodo related in
the first chapter , one is prepared for a
medley of improbabilities ; this suppo
sition , however , is speedily dispelled by
the general interest aroused in the attractiveness -
tractivonoss of the story. A profusion
of effective coloring produces an agree
able display , hut the movements of the
actors , though vigorous , are not finite
artlstiu in design. There is a lack of
Individuality In the characters with
the exception of Dainty Lauro a crea
tion full of life. The native blood
coursing through her veins is vividly
presented by her passionate and impul-
hive behavior , especially in the tcotio
with llorr Schwatku when ho , with hu
roll D eel strength , endeavors to control
the wild , impetuous daughter of Africa.
Brevity and vivacity are the pleasing
characteristics of the hook. The print
ing und illustrations are exceptionally
lino.
Sun , nn Allegory of the Church , Frank F ,
Lovcll & Company , H'J nnd 1H Worth
street , Now York.
Recent religious productions "havo
been conspicuous for vigorous attempts
to banish everything spiritual and
mysterious from the realms of the
church , leaving only a rationalistic : and
almost a business-like creed , which
these writers would Jmvo us believe is
the essence of divine .faith , often ignor
ing the fact that life is the most inex
plicable mystery there is. After a sur
feit of such literature it is pleasant to
turn to ' 'Sho , an * Allegory of the
Chtirch. "
These who havo. rend Rider Hag
gard's "Sho , " will romomhor the au
thor's expressed inability lo interpret
his story , which holmaginotl was some
gigantic allegory , explanation of it
ho loft to others. Leo Michael under
takes this task , and this is the interpre
tation : "She , " is the church ; Leo , is
intuition ; Holly , science : Job , practical
service ; Ustanl. spiritualism ; Moham-
on , in fidelity ; Blttall , the priesthood ;
Kor , the mo'dorn world ; The Hamhag-
gar , the devotees of superstition ; Hot-
poting , religious persecution.
She the church , has become the solo
guardian of truth , but is ignorant of the
exact nature of her chat-go ; she is also
possessed of the secret of eternal life
and yet incapable of dispensing it.
"Sho" has watched and waited through
the generations for a deliverer who
flhUll come and explain thrco mysteries.
Tlio allegory is well sustained by all the
characters assisting in the effort to ro-
movu the veil from the face of truth.
This result is at length achieved main
ly by Intuition and Science aided by
Practical service ; in consequence'of
whoso notions the church finally
plunges into the bath of Hroyhich is
the cleansing power of the spirit. Tlio
llcshly form of the church thus per
ishes , but , her spirit was now-born. By
this act "Sho" receives the knowledge
of truth and eternal life. Intuition and
Science at the same time imbibe
enough of the Hro to experience
its exhSlorating potency. "Sho"
becomes enshrined in tlio hearts
of Leo and Holly , though the mantel of
Shu falls through the gloom of tlio
night upon Leo. As Leo and Holly both
live , so shall science and intuition work
together as 0110. Religion is to become
seientille and science religious. The
allegory signifies that truth can only bo
found by means of the spirit ; that there
is no dependence on external methods
cither in the physical or psychic realm ,
but on the spirit alone. It is the soul
that saves us not we the soul provid
ed wo go forth and seek our inheri
tance. This is certainly a marvellous
production , the outcome of religious en-
thusinsm operating upon an imagina
tive mind. Those who cannot soar
above the heavy clouds of rationalism
will probably condemn it as fantastic ;
but npno can deny its beauty and fas
cination.
Muxico By Susan Hale ; illustrated ; pub
lished by G. P. Putnam's Sons , New York.
Susan Halo gives a recapitulation of
historical facts , the value of which is
greatly modified by the insertion of
much supurlluous explanatory twaddle
that is neither amusing nor instructive.
She makes the great mistake of com
mitting to paper everything that ex
cites her own perceptive faculties ,
thinking that a reciprocal sympathy
will be aroused thereby in the mind of
the reader. Her style is somewhat
jerky ; also conspicuous for a super
abundance of pronouns : Laying aside
these faults the work is readable and
gives much interesting information re
garding Mexico. The illustrations are
good.
ECONOMIC VALUE or EMICTIC LIOHT AND
Powr.n by A. II. Foote , Hobert Clnrko &
Co. , Cincinnati.
The capabilities of electricity and the
beneficial results to bo derived there
from , are now exercising not only the
minds of the leading scientists but also
the entire community. This book eon -
tains a comprehensive mass of well ar
ranged information , and is designed to
be of service to these interested in ob
taining state or municipal legislation.
It is maintained that the electric ser
vice of a city should bo framed on the
basis of a public improvement , with
special previlegcs calculated to enhance
the interests of all citizens , rathera
diilicult undertaking considering the
many opposing interests. However , the
author substantiates his theory by dis
pelling the many illusions prevalent
amongst the adversaries of electric ex
tension. Special attention to this book
is also asked of manufacturers , and
those who are , or intend to become , in
terested in electric central stations.
These uninitiated in electrical terms
will find considerable assistance from
an explanation in uiitcchnical language
in the appendix. The book is not re
markable for literary brilliancy or ex
treme profundity of thought , but tno
writer has a useful knack of convoying
his meaning in a simple phraseology ,
and succeeds in his avowed object of
creating interest in his theme , 'and im-
parling much useful information.

cage , 111.
This is a novel based on the assassin
ation of Garliold , It is written by Mrs.
Norton , the sister of Guiteau , to pre
vent history from giving the same ver
dict that the jury gave at her brother's
trial. The first portion of the btory is
remarkable for ambiguous phrases and
contradictory statements. The writer
allows her imagination to run riot , and
in the excess loses proper control of her
pen. Unimportant details are described
with precision , but the frequent oppor
tunities that occur for the display of lit
erary ability are often treated with
feebleness. In the latter part of the
book , however , whcrp the material is
"
richer , she apnoars to" have received a
sudden infusion of literary vitality.
The incidents are striking and frequent ,
