would be required for the conveyance of
the mai ~ that route than by the latter.
Anu - mas been further ascertained that
the mall carried by the Fl. Pierre route is
from little Offices on the line from Yankton
to IT. Pierre. which, In the instance noted
by our agent, amounted to four letters. and
while he was in Fl. Pierre the mail bag al.
rived from Dedwcod, and was found 10
contaln out ten letters and one paper, and
he was informed by the party in charge of
the office that that was q fair sample Of the
quantity of mail going through the office
TO and from Deadwood.
BY the present arrangements. prompt
connection of the mail from all directions
are made at Sidney or Bismarck, and the
present service INTO the Hills is considered
amply sufficient.
Respectfully,
III. FRENCH,
Acting I'd Asst P. NJ. General.
Hon. j. L. PENNINGTON,
Governor,
.Yankton, Dakota.
The foregoing communication would fun
nish . convincing argument against the
re establishment Of the Pierre and Black
Hills mail service, provided it was true but
being untrue, it should have no more weight
thai any other false representation. Now
that the department has given us the figures
upon which its action is based it is an easy
mattel 10 point out the damagiuger errors they
contain. The main argument advanced is
that mails can be carried more speedily via
the Union Pacific road and the Sidney over
land route and to sustain that argument
figures are 20 placed together that
they count against US The figures given in
the communication sent from the DEPART
ment make the running time from Sidney
to Deadwood, two hundred and twenty
miles, fity-eight hours, and the running
time from Pierre to Deadwood, one hundred
n dsighty miles, ninety.six hours. Here
is allowed by the department q difference Of
thirty-eight hours in favor of the rou G
which is forty miles the greater in LEM tn.
An argument of this sort is no argument at
eli and the only retort which can be made
is that the department is not stating facts.
Then, too, the department uses up twenty
more hours at Pierre, which is a wholly
unnecessary loss of time. Connection
cn be made there and not over q
half hours delay necessitated by starting the
'nail out at ten o'clock in the forenoon in.
stead Of 8 O'clock. As the department has
gore so wildly astray in its figures, we present
I ,em a corrected statement, one which will
be found reliable ifa practical ties, is ever
made:
From Yankton to Pierre. "a hou,s
" Pierre to eadwood. ~
otai. 80 "
These are the correct figures and they
show a gain Of eighty hour'stime in favor of
the Pierre route over the statement made BIZ
the department. We DO not charge the de
partment with wilfully disappearing this
matter. II has doubtless been misled by
designing men. That is the greater reason
why it should make haste to correct its error

To Sonora alone Tucson sells
some $4,000 per month worth of

class OF goods bears but small pro-

in some of the local churches the
officials are about as numerous as
the private members. There has
been a considerable increase of
membership during the past few
years, but the prOpagators of their
faith have generally worked in
communities far removed from the
centers of intelligence and infu-
ence, and this growth has attract
ed little attention, while the move
ments of the Utah Mormons,
because they have been gathered
together in one place, and are
distinguished by more marked
characteristics, have been watched
with great interest. 1t is probable
that there will now be an effort on
the part of the followers of the
younger Smith to secure prose-
lytes among those who have here
tOfOre followed the leader of the
polygamOus branch, and an execu.
lion of the laws against the pecu.
liar institution of Utah will tend
to disintegrate that body, and
make its members more ready to
join those to whom separation has
not proved a fatal weakness. The
son Of Joseph Smith enjoys the
confidence of those who have
been associated with him, and
possesses some of the qualifications
fJrsuccesful leadership, but no one
of the sons of Brigham Young is
likely to inspire the confidence of
large masses of men, or to retain
the power exerted for so many
years by the recently deceased
leader. 1t will not be strange
therefore, If the name of Joseph
Smith once more becomes familiar
to the lips of the members of this
misguided sect, while
the memory of Brigham Young
becomes year by year less hOnored,
as his seltishness and wickedness
are more fully revealed TO those
whom he deIuded by his preten-
tions, or ruled because of their
fears.

il shocking neglect of sanitary pre-

LAST evening one of the most
horrible reports that has yet been

current, but it was of such a terri
bic nature that people talked
about it H. low voices and with a
feeling of dread. A deep well or
cistern had been found about fif-
teen miles from the city, to which
attention had been called by q
sickening stencil arising from it,
and an investigation disclosed the
fact that the cistern was half full
of the bodies of men, women and
children; the nangled bodies hay

Some had their throats cut, others
were stabbed through the heart,
and others again had their brains

in money and a large lot of jewell
