The murder case, when it reaches the petit jury, may result in a verdict inflicting the death penalty, in which event Sioux Falls would have ita firet hanging In about a score of years. The person charged with murder, whose trial will be the sensational feature of the Deadwood term, Is Allen Walking Shield, a notoriously bad and worthless Sioux In- dian, on the Deadwood reservation. The crime was committed last May, the victim being Mrs. Sarah Ghost Face, an Indian woman. The motive of the crime was the desire of the murderer to possess himself of the woman's 17-year-old daughter, of whom he was enamored.

He then swallowed a dose of laudanum which caused his death in the jall after he had been arrested. He had béen drinking heavily of late, and this, combined with Jealousy, caused the trouble. LOCAL BREVITIES. Charles H. Daugherty of Greenwood, W, Va., was taken in charge by the police last n,fn a8 he showed unmistakable evidences of insanity. The man was in the Burt street mission and seemed to consider that e was a philanthropist. Captain Spone McCoy and Lieutenant Mec- Coy. his wife, who have been working for the Volunteers of America in Omaha for some months, were given farewell re- ption by thelr comrades last night. They g0 to Bt. Paul and Minneapolis to carry on the mission work there. At 6:30 o'clock last evening the police made another of their periodical emergency dashes to the city library in answer to a false burglar alarm. The watchman of the ibrary had locked up, thereby setting the alarms, and when outside remembered that hi left something inside which needed. He then opened the door, forge! ting the alarm. T ng. It Is now nearly six weeks since the last similar alarm. Some time since Vic Peterson d Mrs. Peterson separated and she has been roo: ing at 821 North Sixteenth street and he at the Klondyke hotel. Last night Petel son went to his wife's rooms to get a din- ner bucket which he considered to be his, and Mrs. Peterson refused to let him take the same. Peterson then set upon his wife and beat her unmercl!ullx. Two s rooming in the same bullding heard the nolse made by the struggle and one ran for a policeman while the other fought the husband. The boy was badly beaten also before the arrival of the patrolman and Peterson himself suffered considerably. Union and the Individual | In the Labor day lssue of the Western Latorer the following article by Theodore W. McCullough was given a prominent place: One of the first questions, often the very first which the young man must answer when emerging from his chrysalis stage as apprentice to the activity of Jife as & jour- neyman is, “Will 1 joln the union?” Sub- sidlary to this question, but so closely con- nected as to be almost Inseparable, are the questions, “What will the unlon do and “What can I do for the Too often the answer to the first of these s sufficlent to determine the an- swer to the main query, and the second, which is really of vast importance, is never answered. During his years of servitude, while m: ripg the rudimente of his trade ~for no one so well knows as the old jour- neyman how little of the real art of ihe craft the apprentice actually m s before he is admitted to full fellowship in the gulld as a master craftsman—the young man bears much of the union. It takes on no definite form for him, yet he feels its in- fluence on every side. 'Intangible and im- ponderable, but with a decidedly palpable cxistence, the uniow hedges himn about, and he dally fecls the effects of its rules and regulations. Frequently, it may be, he con- ceives a repugnance for an Institution he cannot understand, but whose movements have so marked reflex in all that surround him o the shop. He may conceive the n-tion that the union is a monster of some scrt, designed to crush out individuality, to repress ambition, and to prevent de. velopwent of personality. This is, in brief, the notion that many uninformed people do ave of trades unions. Or, the apprentice may gain the notion that the union is s=me scrt of a powerful organizdtion that going to secure for him steady employment at remunerative wages, whether he deserves it or not It matters not how he reaches either of these conclusions, for both are wrous. In the first place, & unfon correctly conceived and properly constituted, and no union can endure unless it is both, does not repress or circumscribe the individual with intolerable conditions. Sometimes it way happen that the selfish interest of the individual runs counter to the best interests of the union. In such instances the union must, in the very nature of things, control. But no laudable endeavor or legitimate am- bition or aspiration of the individual is ever hampered by membership in a trades union. Unions establish minimum wage scales, but ne & maximum. They oc- casionally_establish & maxtmum Hmit to the deily task to be required of thelr wWewm- bers, but these regulations are invariably based on the law of exchange, so much labor for so much money. Such regulations are of immense service to the employer, as y with all uncertainty as to calculate BLh exacluess.

Fine ashes are falling continually In a slight drizzie. Semi-darkness is over the sea and ships in the harbor seem to be enveloped in a cloud of smoke. Advices from Basse Terre, Island of Guadaloupe, assert that since daybreak to- day the entire island has boen covered with a cloud of dust, coming from the southeast, the direction of the Isiand of Martinique. The population of Basse Terre is greatly alarmed. ROSEAU, Dominica, B. W. L, Aug. 31.— The thick mist which enveloped Roseau yes- terday was taken as it approached for a raln storm. The dust is still falling, but during the night of August 30 the quantity of dust which fell here was greater than on any previous occasion since the first eruption of Mont Pelee. At nightfall of the 30th a dark cone-shaped cloud, emit- ting electric flashes, arose in the south, but was gradually obscured by the mist caused by the falling ashes. Rumbling nolses and a few detonations were heard | during the night of the 20th. The people here are quiet. No news has yet reached here from Martinique. ST. JOHN, Antigua, B. W.

This report was brought | to Castrles, Island of St. Lucla, by officers of the French steamship Dahome. This eruption was followed by total darkness {five miles away from the volcano. A dis- patch recelved from St. Thomas, August 26, sald that between 10 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon of August 25, clouds of dust were seen in the direction of Mont Pelee from the Island of Dominica. Deto- nations were heard and there were light showers of volcanic dust on the island. The following message was recelved from Dominica, Tuesday, the 20th: ‘“Since 2 | p. m. Tuesday prolonged rumbling noises in quick succession have been heard from | the southward. There is every indication that Mont Pelee is in violent eruption.” A dispatch from Paris, dated August 28, said the latest dispatches received at the ministry of the colonies from Fort De France, Island of Martinique, were dated Monday, Augusi 5. of the reported eruptions of Mont Pelee. The Paris dispatch said also that the cables to Martinique, both north and south, con- tinued to be interrupted. Efforts made to communicate by cable direct with the Island of Martinique have proved unsuccessful. Telegraphlc commu- nication with that island from New York is still interrupted.

Mike Roche, who for years had been a hack driver and has had his stand before Foley's saloon on Douglas street, dled yes- terday evening at 7 o'clock in Louls Bett's livery atable on Capitol avenue, from heart tailure, brought on by dropsy. The remains have been taken to the parlors of Brafley & Dorrance. Roche, who has a room in the stable, lay down at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, saying that he would take a nap. When called in the evening he did not respond and an investigation develo the fact he was in a very low condition. Medical assistance was summoned, but the old driver only lived a few minutes after the arrival of the doctor. DIED, ZUCK—Mrs. G, W.. on Sunday, August #1, at the home of her brother, 'W. 8.

Teason out of many that might be cited in support of the proposition, In no sense do these regulations interfere with the growth of the individual. In wage scales a clause, always present, reads: ‘‘Provided, That nothing in this contract shall be in- terpreted to prefent a superior workma from recelving a higher rate of wage This in itself is an incentive to the in- dividual, for he bas before him always the fact that if he become uncommonly skill- ful as a craftsman, he will gain more money as well as a higher position In the esteem of his fellow workmen and his employer. What does the union do for the Indi- vidual? In the very beginning it is a guaranty of his Integrity as a workman. When he is accepted as a member It is after the union has been satisfied that he Is sufficiently versed in the affairs of his trade to meet the requirements of the craft, to do & fair day's work in a workmanlike way for a fair day's wage. In guaranteeing kis integrity as a workman the union does not accept responsibility for his conduot as a man, but the influence of tbe union is inevitably for good in this direction. In order to maintain his standing with his union the member must deal fairly and honestly with his fellow members, and this naturally leads him to deal fairly and honestly with his fellow men. In this way the trades union has aided In elevating the standard of citizenship and the resultant moral tone of the community. If the union accomplished no other end, this is suficient to entitle it to commendation and respect, not only from its members, buk from every- body. But the union does more for the individual, It makes the cause of one of its members the cause of all. It fights the battle of the Individual because the battle of the individual is the battle of the union. In this regard the responsibili- ity is divided, but rests with equal weight on all. Unions are often sccused of be- ing unreasonable, tyrannical and oppres- eive, charges which are almost invariably unfounded, and generally made by persons who have either been made to feel the power of the unlon or have not thoroughly examined iuto the merits of the matter which calls for the condemuation. Only rarely does a union come down with its full force on an Individual workman. When it does it merely exercises the highest function of oragnized society, that of pro- tecting itself from a discovered enem: Trades unions are usually patient and lo suffering, conservative in dealings with em- ployers, rendering faithfully all they prom- ise and exacting In return only what they agreed upon. In effect, a trades unlon I8 @ labor trust in which its members pool what they have to sell, and undertake to malntalp & standard selling price therefor. 1t is not claimed that the trades union as it 1s at present has reached the limit of perfection.

In epite of the inconvenlence of sitting | and in many instances standing in the hot | sun, a large crowd listened for more than an hour yesterday afterncon to Bugene V. Debs' address on *‘Labor Problem." As was to be expected, Mr. Debs dealt with his subject from a socialistic stand- point and his principal attention was given to the exiating relations between o and labor. Speaking of politics, he said “The political parties are all alike. I wish 1 could find a man some time who is clever enough or sufficiently well informed, or even a good enough llar, to show me some real difference hetween the republican and the democratic partics, as far as their re- lation to the working people is concerned. The republican party is dominated by the big capitalists and the democratic party by the little capitalists that can't get in among the big fellows, or find it more to thelr interest not to do 5o, and the result, as far as the workingman |s concerned, is the same. Both are devoted to the inter- ests of wage avery. Don’t you know that if you were earning $10 a day, It would cost you $11 to etay on earth? The republican party is for lmperialism and ex- pansion, and the democratic party pro- clalms that policy to be an outrage. It you are on one side or the other, I would like to have you glve me a reason for it. A party Is merely an expression of the economic principles of the class It rep- | resents. The republican party is for ex- pansion because it has goods to sell and wants & market for them; the democratio party has nothing to sell and does not need the market, and for that reason op- poses expansion and declares the present policy of the United States to be an out- rage upon the Filipinos. The more im- perfalism and expansion we have the sooner the big fellows will get through with the little ones. “Competition is war, and the big capital- tsts are coming more and more to avold it. Every country on earth has a big stand- ing army and is equipped for war, but they all agree that war s cruel and they will not indulge in it. In ten years there will be no competition and it will cost you more to ralse a bushel of wheat than you can get for it. Rockefeller is a living example of the fact that competition does not pay and that consolidation does pay.

Th is an old allegorical picture of a girl scared at a grasshopper, but in the act of heedlessly treading on a snake. This is paralleled by the man who spends a large sum of money building a cyclone cellar, but neglects to provide his family with a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colie, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy as a safeguard against bowel complaints, whose victims outnumber those of the cyclone a hundred to one. This rem- edy Is everywhere recognized as the most prompt and rellable medicine in use for Some Thoughts Appro- priate for Labor Day. times, progressing as rapidly and as ra- tionally as are any of the other component elements of what we term civilization. In the ranks of organized labor are to be found the brainy men, the men who think, of the several crafts whose handiwork is the very cornerstone of organized soclety. To be given a good standing in this honorable company s not the least of what a union can do for an individual What can the individual do for the union? Much of the answer to this question de- pends on the individual, for it is essentially & personal one. He can advance the cause of his union materially by always remem- bering that he is a member, and that a such member he cannot alone assume the full responsibility of his actions, but that a portion at least of credit or censure, as bis conduct is praise or blameworthy, must and does fall on the unlon. If he does re- member this, he will be a better union man, and consequently a better citizen. By keeping constantly in mind his responsibil- ity to the unlon for the benefits and priv- fleges he derives from membership, he will be alded in the discharge of his duty to his fellow craftsmen and through them to so- clety. For few men are so utterly, hope- lessly selfish that they can go on and on, enjoying the advantages that accrue through the union of men of any sort, and never give a thought to the source from whence those advanteges flow. In the development of the Individual the growth of the union is fostered. No man !s so humble or so ob- scure but his personal conduct has some effect cn those around him. Once a man, who arked If the world would miss him, was told to stick bis finger into & lake, with- draw it and look for the hole. True, there Is no hole left, but the sticking of that finger into the lake set particles of water into motion, and even that slight disturb- ance was felt in the farthest part of that body of water. So it is with the individua! He may not amount to any more than a finger thrust into a lake, but even that slight commotion has its effect and is felt in some degree by the whole. Let every union wan feel that it is on the individual that the strength and standing of the union depends, and that as the individual is a man of character and force, so the unlom will bave credit and influence. This is the best way to make return for the bemefits de- rived by the Individual through the exist- ence of the union. Individual responsibility does mot end with mere payment of dues cr with obedience to regulations any more than good citizenship consists solely in pay- ment of taxes and observance of the laws. Good union men must take an active past in the affairs of the union, giving to all the benefit of their thought and experience. No one mau bas ever yet done emough for so- ciety to fully discharge his obligations, and 00 one union man has ever fully repald the union for the benefits and advantages he bas derived from membersh T.
