der Mrs. Florence MeEvoy Oct. 3.
He was infatuated ith Mrs. Me

I Special to The Journal.
Aberdeen, S. D., Nov. 11.The first
[farmers institutes under the new law,
east of the Missouri river, were held
this week at Ipswich and Eoscoe, in
Edmunds county. They were largely
attended, showing that the farmers are

stand and other buildings erected for
the Eosebud county fair and many and
weird were the things they accom
plished. More than 1.800 Crow Indians
and about the same number of visiting
Cheyennes, Nez Perces, Gros Ventres,
Sioux and Crees were attendance.
The Indians proudly displayed the
grains aud grasses they had raised
themselves and the vegetable exhibit
was creditable. The agricultural dis
play as a whole, was surprisingly good
ancf showed the progress and advance
ment made by the redmen in Eose
bud county and on the Crow reservation,
which is to be thrown open to settle
ment next year. The products of the
government industrial school were well
worth seeing. The Indians have a
natural aptitude for work with wood
and tools and the display was better
than that of some of the white indus
trial schools of the state.
Parade of Indians.
The most interesting feature to the
white visitors was the daily parade at
the track, which the entire band ot
Indians participated. The Crow camp
was a pretty sight. The four hundred
tepees, weie arranged in the shape ot
a'n oval with the four large dance tents
occupying the center. The visiting
Sioux challenged the Crows to sing
them down. Three of the biggest bucks
accordingly stationed themselves near
the tom-toms and blood-curdling and
ear-spliting noise resulted. One little
blind boy a pink shirt enthusiasti
cally joined in the singing, at the same
time dancing with abandon. He pre
sented a striking picture.
Hereafter, the Crow fair will be a
feature of life on the reservation.
Greater things are predicted for next
year because of the interest shown this
season. The department will encourage

by the mortgagor when there are other

The decision was in the suit of
Charles Toggweiler against Martin J.

weiler's homestead had been sold by
the sheriff to satisfy a claim an'd there
was a balance of $344.19 left. Edward

collect this from the sheriff on garnish

"It strikes me as the only safe,
proper and non-legislative construction1
of our exemption laws that they pro

WILL NOT ACCEPT
SCRIP IN PAYMENT
Interesting Litigation Will Result
from Refusal to Redeem Mich
igan State Paper.
Special to The Journal.
Hancock, Minn., Nov. 11.Acting on
advice from the attorney general's de
partment, State Land Commissioner
Jiose has refused to redeem a quantity
of scrip'' issued by the state in 1863
in payment for the construction of the
state road from the Keweenaw penin
sula thru Houghton county to the east
boundary line of Ontonagon county, and
it is probable the owner of the scrip
will institute mandamus proceedings.
Many a northern Michigan fortune
was founded on the law under which
state swamp-land scrip was issued, and
the operations of the statute have been
closely associated with the history and
development of the upper peninsula.
Hundreds of millions of feet of pine
have been cut from lands acquired for
a song under the provisions or the act
other tracts obtained thru the same
process have proved rich in minerals,
and still others are valuable in an agri
cultural way.
The question at issue has been raised
by E. W. Sparrow of Lansing, who is
extensively interested in the manufac
ture of lumber in the uppei peninsula,
who has offered the scrip in payment ot
so-called swamp lands in St. Clair coun
ty, lower Michigan, recently drained at
state expense. Sparrow is acting on
the advice of attorneys who have as
sured him that the scrip is good. Sim
ilar holdings not yet redeemed are held
by corporations in the upper peninsula,
and largely for that reason there is
much interest in this region in the out
come of the litigation.

GLASS IS USED IN
HOUSE BUILDING
Novel Departure in Construction
of Homes at Des Moines At
tracts Attention.
Special to The Journal.
Pes Moines, Nov. 11.The use of
Slass
in the construction of houses
ere is creating some attention in other
cities. Frank C.
Perkins,s t(
in his article,
Modern American Glas Houses." in
the December Technical World Maga
zine, makes the following statement in
regard to the structural characteristics
of these odd edifices:
A glass wall is of very light weight
compared with one of masonry. Fire
damage would be local and easily re
paired, experience showing that the
wire glass prevents the spread of fire,
tho the glass itself is shattered. With
this construction, however, replacing
material is easier than would be the
reglazing of a window of the same size.
The expense of a glass wall is less than
that of a brick wall, and lacks all the
disadvantages of the latter, being
much lighter in weight, allowing a soft
light to penetrate thru, and having a
surface which is self-cleaning in wet
weather, and which, in the case of tall
buildings in cities, reflects light to the
lower portions at the sidewalk.''

Hartford, S. D., Nov. 11.-Where pol
itics get as warm as in South Dakota,
few federal officers not on the civil
service list, make an unbroken record
of holding the same position thru five
administrations, but such is the record
of Holdin D. Kinyon, postmaster at
Valleynear townlinef
300 popula-
the state and fifteen
miles east of Sioux Falls.
His first commission bears the signa
ture of Benjamin Harrison, his last, that
of Theodore Roosevelt.
He was undisturbed in Grover Cleve
land's second term. Tho ther$ are but
few democrats in Valley Springs, it
being the strongest republican precinct
i the state, it would naturally be sup
osed that those who were there were
ungry enough at that time to snatch
this one plum from the hand of a repub
lican. But Mr. Kinyon remained, altho
it is said of the democratic state central
committee that more than one trip was
made to Valley Springs by a member
or agent to get some one to accept the
post.
The quiet inoffensive gentleman was
one nobody cared to see removed. He
never sought an office, but many have
sought him and he has held several local
positions, principally on boards of edu
cation, for which his early years as a
teacher well qualified him.
Postmaster Kinyon is a republican,
and a firm adherent of the gold stand-
On Monday evening will be the dedi

J. W. Gratian of Alton, 111., assisted

on this occasion -will delivered bv
Rev. Dr. M. D. Shutter of Minneapolis.
The new building claims the distinc
tion of being the first church built after
the mission type in Minnesota. It was
built at a cost of $18,000 and its archi
tecture is Byzantine as far as the dome
and arches are concerned, the dome
being an exact reproduction on a mini
ature scale, of the dome of Santa Sophia
in Constantinople. To this has been
added two towers after those of the old
Santa Barbara mission in California.
It is a wooden structure covered with
expanding steel lath and over this is a
solid inch of covering of Portland
cement plaster, left the float finish
similar to the Minnehaha pavilion.
FIFTY-TWO YEARS
OF AGTIYE WORK
Remarkable Record of Dr. Asa W.
Daniels, a Pioneer Physician
of the Northwest.
Iintroduced Chloroform in Valley.
The first chloroform used in the Min
nesota valley was administered by him
in his initial surgical operation after
reaching the fort. He was detailed to
accompany Major W. T. Sherman's
Kettle Lake expedition. The man who
was destined to lead the march ''thru
Georgia to the sea" had with him his
battery of artillery and a battalion of
infantry, and treated with the Yank
tonais for all of their land lying east
of the Missouri river.
For seven years Dr. Daniels was a
government surgeon at the Redwood
agency, but in 1861 he resigned and
began the practice of medicine in this
c^ty. A year later, when Little Crow's
Sioux took to the warpath, Dr. Daniels
volunteered for service and accom
panied Judge Flandrau's expedition for
the relief of New Ulm. During the
siege he and Dr. Ayres, of Le Sueur,
established a temporary hospital and
rendered valuable aid to the wounded,
and after the evacuation of the town
he brought sixty patients to St. Peter,
fitted up a hospital with his own means
and cared for tnem until hostilities had
ceased and they were able to return, to
their homes.
Alth( in his seventy-seventh year,
Dr. Daniels is still vigorous. He now
spends his winters in California, but
during the months he is at home, he re
ceives his patients in his old way, and
there is little in his appearance to indi
cate that he has ministered to the ills
of three generations.

Special to The Journal.
St. Peter, Minn., Nov. 11.Fifty-two
years an active medical practitioner is
the record of Dr. Asa W. Daniels, of
this city, one of Minnesota's pioneer
physicians. Coming to the frontier as
an army surgeon in the early days, he
drifted "into a general practice and the
story of his career throws a flood of
light on western life in those trving
but romantic times. Inured to its pri
vations and hardships, he has been
known to ride forty" miles or more in
response to a call for his services, and
some of his experiences make the woik
of the modern doctor seem common
place.
Dr. Daniels is a native of Strafford,
N. H., where he was born Jan. 15, 1829.
His academic education was secured at
Lancaster. After studying medicine
with an uncle at Boston, he entered the
Ohio Medical college and was gradu
ated from that institution in 1833.
Early that autumn he came to Minne
sota as an assistant surgeon at Fort
Eidgely and some of his most inter
esting anecdotes treat of the period
which preceded the Sioux massacre.
