was hastily summoned from New York b’y Col. Nicol, a staff officer of the army, who came herz cstensibly on a mission to investigate the sentiment of rebellion in this country against the transfer of Commander Booth to anothersphere of action. IHe arrived on Thursday, and on that day a court of inquiry was held by tie three, with Ballington Booth before them. : ,

|Proceedings became heated. There were charges and incriminations. Ballington Booth was ordered to proceed at ohce to England.. ' “I will not go,” he said.

“This is insubordination,” replied Herbert. “You know what that means in the army ?” | “Yes, I know.” ; | ¥lt means dismissal.” : , “Then I will accept it,” replied the commander. : :

In the heat of the argument which followed the commander complained bitterly of the injustice of his father removing him so arbitrarily from a field where he had labored so long, and in which he hoped to finish his life. He made use of terms of insubordination and criticised the general severely. | *This mears a trial by court-martial,” cried Herbert Booth, springing to his feet. “You Lave spoken disrespectfully of your father and your general. I prefer charges of insubordination and disrespect agairst you. I move that this court proceed to iry you for the words.” g

. Col. Nicol supported lierbert Booth. }le then made krown his full authority. ‘I have authority to dismiss you from office,” he said, “and to appoint your successor. I demand of you all the property of the army in America that stands in your name. You aredismissed from office.” i

- Then Ballington Bocth rose to his feet. “Let it mean dismissal,” he said. #I will never stand it.” ;

| After receiving notice of dismisal he and his wife, aided by a few friends, spent the evening packing up their personal belongings. The keys [were turnd over scon afterward. fi}

' For nine years Ballington Booth had been in command here. He had found the army weak and struggling, despised and ridiculed. He put his whole soul’s energy into the work. By his side was his wife, a woman of high education, great personal magnetism and undoubted ability. She shared equally his labors, and while he dealt with men she organized the famous slum corps and inaugurated a wonderful religious work among the outeast women. | 'A month'ago an order was issued by 'Gen. William DBooth, the head of the 'Salvation Arinies of tlie world, relieving Commander Booth and ordering ‘him to report to him in Londoun in April. 'The order came from India, where the 'general new is on his tour of inspection rround the world., The news greatlv ‘surprised the airay in America, Nothing like it was expected. It is clairied Gen. Booth found much to displease hiny in the management of the army in America. He thought it was growing too aristocratic. ‘“You must keep it in the gutter,” he said. . :

- OMAHA GRAVES ROBBED. Two Bodies Are Found in Trunks by the De: Moines Police, : Des Moines, la., Feb. 24—A welidressed man giving the name of George Smith was arrested in front of the post office here Saturday charged with robbing graves either in Omaha or Council Bluffs and with illegal transportation of corpses. The penalty for the latter is three years’ imprisonment. Smith was following a dray in the street on which two small zine trunks were being taken to a medical school. The trunks contained two bodies, one a ‘woman and the other aman. The bodies were crowder into the trunks and the limbs wired together. No one knows Smith, and he refuses to be interviewed. He intimates that there is a gang of body snatchers at workand that he will have friends when he needs them. The officers are working on the theory that a gang of body snatchers is working in Omaha, Council Bluffs, Des Moines and the smaller towns between. The authorities of the medical department of Drake university deny all knowledge of the two corpses found in the trunks. There was no address on the trunks. Smith told the hack driver to take the trunks to the medical college, but the authorities of the school deny knowledge of or connection with Smith. : ' Omaha, Neb., Feb. 24.—The Omaha police received a telegram from Chief of Police J. H. Ford, of Des Moines, Saturday, asking the Omaha authorities 1o examine hospitals and graveyards, as it was thought that two bodies found intrunks at that place had been shipped from here. Detectives made a thorough search of the cemeteries and in the evening discovered that two graves in Mount Hope cemetery had been robbed. The description of the bodies found at Des Moines tallies exactly with that of a man and a woman who were buried from Immanuel hospital in. this city during the latter part of January.

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 24.—The chief of police here received a telegram from the chief of police of Des Moines that the alleged grave robber arrested there had confessed that his name is William Clay Colm and that he and three other men did the work. These are William Glasco, a constable named Smith and another man named Brown. Glasco was captured here Saturday evening. He is an old criminal and is being tried for highway robbery. The others are still at large,

BOMES BURSTING IN HAVANA. Insurgents Determined to Retaliate on Weyler for His Butchery. Kev West, Fla.,, Feb. 24.—Advices from Havona indicate that the Cubuas, goaded to-desperation by Weylet’sinurderous policy, have determined to retaliate. Saturday morning the inhabitants of Havana found circulars scattered all over the city announcing that, as Weyler continued to order suspects shot, the Cuban rvevolutionary commitiee had resolved to retaiiate by using dynamite bombs against the residences and business houses of Spanjards. The circular went on to state that from eight to twelve suspects confined in tiie Cubanas and Morro castle are being shot every nigkt by order of Gen. Weyler, und that since the latter's arrival the tctal number of Cubans rhus imurdered exceeds 200 in Havana alcone. The circular concludes with the statement that as Weyler has raised the black flag the Cubans are forced in selfdefense to adopt a similar policy. Ta emphasize the threats contained in the circular two dynamite bombs were ex ploded in. the ecity yesterday. The Henry Clay cigar factory was wrecked by one of the bombs. The bomb was .exploded near the palace and caused great consternation.

In spite .of the denials cabled by Weyler to the United States, there is no doubt that suspects are being. secretly executed by his orders. Havana is full of the stories of {hese executions, and they come from sources above suspicion. : j

The number of men presenting themselves and claiming amnesty has great1y decreased since Weyler came. Campos’ ammnesty proclamation has not been recalled, but as administered by Weyler it is simply a death-trap for the Cubans. An American planter from Santa Clara says that the Cubans who present themselves for amnesty neai his estate are quietly shot, He states that 60 men have been butchered in this way in the last ten days. Washningion, Feb. 24.—The following dispaten has been received at the Spunjsh legation: . :

“Flavan, Feb. 21.—You will please emphatically and absolutely deny the reports of the correspondents of executions gince my arrival. Since lam in the island not a single execution has .been made. Signed Capr. GEN. WEYLER,"

A Pair of Veterans. A pair of worn-out veterans Each night I put to rest, Two dauntless, bold adventurers Worn out by tireless quest,

They went to “hunt the baby calf,” And caught a splash of mire; Sailed in the brook, and then were dried Before the kitchen fire.

That record is to be beaten, and Salzer pays $lOO to the winner! Then on tomatoes the record on “50 days the Earliest Tomato” in 1895 was 68 days. That’s to be beaten, and $5O paid. Salzer challenges the world to produce earlier melons, tomatoes, cubbages, radishes, pcas or sweet corn than he offers. Get his mammoth catalogue. There is money in it. . IF YOU WILL CUT THIS OUT AND SEND it withl2c.stamps to the John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis,, you will get free their great catalogue and a package of the yellow rind watermelon sensation.

Manfy of them started in with a house built of sod, and almost empty handed so far as horses and caitle go. Today they occupy fine dwelling houses, have large barns, fine horses, cattle, hogs and sheep, granaries -filled with p'rm',z fruit orchards, and money in hand. We mention this to show that South Dakota farmers are the prosperous class. Prosperity is the rule—not the exception. With fair prices for grain and live stock they would be rolling in wealth. Prices, however, have nothing to do with the fertility of the soil and the favorable character of the eclimate. These natural advantages are here to stay and assure prosFerity to thefarming classes. A copy of an illustrated pamphlet on *¢ Irrigation in South Dakota,’’ éust issued by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rhiiway, can be had by addressing W. E. Powell, General Immigration Agent, Chicago, 111.
