/Yews of the JYortfwesf, WILL GO IT ALONE BLACK HILLS WILL HAVE ITS OWN EXHIBIT AT ST. LOUIS THINKS IT HAS BEEN SLIGHTED Ilesuleut.s Say They Were Not Aoti fled of the Recent State Meeting Held at Huron. Special to The Globe. SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Feb. 21.-Officers cl the South Dakota Business Men's as sociation, which recently held a meeting at Huron for the purpose of arranging for a r : tate exhibit at the St. Louis ex position, are unable to understand why the people of the Black Hills are dissat isfied with the action taken. Dispatches from Black Hills points are to the effect that that region is serious ly contemplating cutting loose from the eastern part of the state and having an exhibit of its own. The chief ground of complaint, to judge by the tone of the dispatches, is that they were not notified that a meeting would be held at Huron, and consequently were not represented at the meeting. In answer to this complaint It can be stated that the people of the Black Hills had precisely the same notice as those living in the eastern part of the state. The South Dakota Business Men's asso ciation does not assess its members, and therefore never has a cent in its treas ury, each member paying his own ex penses in attending meetings, etc. In view of this notices of meetings are al ways given through the newspapers, as was done in this case. No notices were mailed to any of the members, either in the eastern or western portions of the state—there being no funds on hand for the cost of printing and postage—notices of the approaching meeting at Huron having been sent only to the newspapers. These notices were first published two weeks before the meeting at Huron on the sth of the pres ent month, giving ample time for each and every part of the state to be rep resented. It appears to be the belief of many residents of that part of the state that if they secure the pledges of enough members of the legislature a special ses sion would be called for the express pur pose of appropriatng money for a state exhibit, at St. Louis. Such is not the case. Under no circumstances will Gov. Herreid call a special session to act upon this matter as he is of the opinion that such action, the calling of a special ses sion, would be a flagrant violation of the state constitution which permits the call ing of special legislative sessions only on "extraordinary occasions." Stillwater News, The state board of control and V> a,s;den Wolfer. of the state prison, have com pleted the duty assigned to them ot ux ing twine prices for the coming twine season at the prison, and it will be no ticed that prices are considerably nigner than they were last year, which, accord ing to a statemo"-t made by \V ard.?n Wolfer yesterday afternoon, is due o the high price of the fiber used m the manufacture of twine. For this season the state will dispose of its standard twine at 9% cents per pound, and only one grade of twine will be made. i.ne I factory is now turning out 33,000 pounds of twine daily and will continue at its full capacity as long as the demand for twine continues. From now on small cash orders and club orders will be re ceived from farmers, and if there is any twine left May 1 orders will be receiv e.i from dealers. The law, however, pro vides that 500,000 pounds of twine must be retained at the factory for small cash orders, so that farmers sending in their orders will be sure of getting twine. Bertram Johnson, who was received from Polk county some months ago to snvc five years for a crime against na ture, has been sued for a divorce by his wife, Nettie Johnson, papers having been served upon him yesterday. Charles Fairchild and others will en tertain the convicts at the prison tins morning. Chape! exercises will be held and later the inmates will be permitted to spend a couple of hours in the corri dors of the cell room.

He will also give his wife a part of the property situ ated near Lake Elmo.

NO NEWS OF MISS STONE SUSPICION IS GROWING THAT URI GANDS HAVE BROKEN FAITH. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.— It is esti mated at the state department that fif teen days have now elapsed since the money for Miss Stone's ransom was paid over to the agents of the brigands. There is no explanation for the delay. It is hoped that physical conditions, such as heavy snow and adverse weather, may account for the failure to secure her de livery. The officials are loath to believe that there has been a breach of faith on the part of the brigands, feut, even if this were so, they do not regard them selves as blameworthy for having trusted them. From the first the United States gov ernment has been adverse to paying the ransom, but in response to appeals from every quarter it reluctantly authorized Mr. Leishman to deal with the brigands However, if it turns out that the bri gands have broken faith and that they either have taken the ransom money and spirited the captives away again or that they have killed them, then there will be no further attempt to deal with the bri sands on the part of the United States government, but its entire power will be directed upon Turkey and upon Bul garia to procure the swift and certain extermination of the brigands, regardless of cost or effort. Was Seen La at Saturday. Cabling from" Seres, European Turkey, upnder date of Feb. 21, the correspondent of the London Daily Graphic says that Miss Stone was seen last Saturday es corted by twenty-five armed brigands, in the Bozdagh mountains, at the southern extremity of the Perim range, thirty miles from Seres. ML Gargiulo, the dragoman of the American legation at Constantino ple, says that if the foregoing be true, there is likelihood of an encounter be tween the brigands and the troops pa troling that country, in which case it is doubtful whether the brigands would al low the captives to escape alive.

GERMANY WAS GOOD OBSERVED STRICT NEUTRALITY DURING THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR GOSSIPS SEVEKELY KEBUKED Ambassador White Talks on the Re lations of the Two .Nations"at ' a Washington Birth day Banquet. '■ BERLIN, Feb.* 21.—Andrew D. White, the American ambassador here, presid ing , tonight at an i assemblage of ' 3tW - Americans who' celebrated ..Washington's" birthday at the Kaiserhof ;by a musical entertainment'- followed by supper - and a dance, said in an address: : ; "Sundry writers on this side of the At lantic have been especially eloquent 'in denouncing the general hatred |of Ger many " and the - Germans which they in sist obtains in the ; United States. Much has been said of 'Deutschenhetze' (Ger man - baiting), jj and this has g been -placed in such a lurid light that one would -al/ most believe that on the appearance of one of our German-American fellow cit izens % upon the ; streets of an American city, the citizens of American birth were ready to cry havoc and let loose on him the : dogs of war. ' . "It has : been my duty for five years to read with considerable iconscientious ness a number of ; the foremost' American newspapers, : representing^ the . dominant thought ;in various | parts of the Union, and I- can most truthfully.; say that I have failed to find the . slightest trace of such 'Deutschenhetze,' I did not discover anything like hatred or a persecuting spirit - toward the German-Americans lon the American -. continent. s;^i^:, ; :;s:. :^ "On the other side it has been insist ed by more or less well-meaning people in the United States that a dark cloud between the two countries reajly exists, and that in the times of which ancient history makes mention and especially during our Spanish war, the German g"bv. ernment was somewhat hostile to the United States, or in some manner, which nobody seems to be able to give with precision, the German government did something which It ought not to have done, alnd left undone something which it ought to have done. To thi3 answer has been made, if I may be allowed here to refer to it, by myself, as one com petent to express opinion on the sub ject, with the declaration that tho con duct of the German government to ward us during the Spanish war was ex cellent. The German government ob server a strict neutrality and showed no unfriendly spirit. From first to last it never made any suggestions or pro posals that embarrassed us in the slight est degree. In fact the conduct of the German government was all that we could desire. "Some self-constituted guardians of the welfare of the United States have insisted that, if not the imperial gov ernment, it was the honored and revered sovereign of the empire who spread this cloud over the relations of the two na tions by promoting, or, if not promoting, by joining in a league to intervene to stop the war. No Need of Worrying. "On this account various people have really made themselves very unhappy. Now, however, within a fortnight all this has been cleared away, and it has been shown beyond a doubt that the re vered and beloved sovereign of this country refused to take part in anything ■«\hich could be cotistixed as interference in the contest, and refused in such a manner as to show that he respe'eted the motives and appreciated the feelings of the American government. Tonight, even at this very moment, oth er exhibitions of the good feeling be tween the German and American gov ernments are taking place. Thanks to wireless telegraphy, messages of hearty good will are flashing- to and from the Kronprinz Wilhelm which bears the hon ored representative of the emperor to our shores. These messages go to all parts of our country; they also come from all parts of cur country, for the mission ot our royal guest is clearly seen to be one of peace and kindness. "It is seme times said that missions and demonstrations like the one now be ginning in America accomplish nothing, for the reason that they settle no really important questions. An assertion like this betrays a very narrow view of pub lic affairs on the part of any person making it. It is doubtless true that such demonstrations do not directly settle pending questions between nations, but is it none the less true that such demon strations, hearty and kindly and arous ing a better feeling in both nations, are powerful in creating an atmosphere in which the pending questions are more easily settled. "We have every reason, then, this even ing to rejoice at this restored reign of good will. As to the clouds of myth and legend hanging over the relations of the two countries we have every reason to hope they have passed away. Certainly, this eve of Washington's birthday may well be celebrated joyfully." RATIFY CANAL TREATY HAY AXD PAI'XCEFOTE COMPLETK PACT WITH ENGLAND. WASHINGTON.

Across the street there lives a maid, A jolly, teasing little jade, With wanton hair and witching eyes, And yet, so staid and worldly wise That, if she deigns to send a glance Across ray way, It seems mere chance, And Tiuick withdraws in swift reti'eat Across the street. Across the street I sit and look, Forgetful of my pipe and book; I see her shadow on the pane. And build me castles in far Spain. I watch and wait,, with patience rare, Til], lust as 1 would quite despair, She looks from out her window seat Across the street. Across the street hath come a change; The window hath a tenant strange. Who moves me to no rosy dreams; My brain no more with castles teems— What use have I for fancies frail? The maid. aB fits romantic Ule, Hath moved, to make my joy complete, Across the street. —Truman Roberts Andrews, in Smart Set.

No plans for the future conduct of the party were made, other than that the party would run its own affairs with out the assistance of the Democrats.
