Yesterday he sent up to them an ice

The Glendive route has been adopted
by the railroad company and the work all

have been ordered in from the Cedar creek
route and will be stationed along the line
on construction. Several sub-contractors
will go over the Little Missouri this week
Mr.. Kennard, tie and pile contractor,
started rum Of timber down the river
during the late rise, but has not put in an
appearance yet. The river has fell to two
feet in the channel which will make it
very hard driving. He has about 5000
piles, and 5000 ties in the river, and as
he has about 500 miles to drive it will be
some time before he reaches the railroad.
Since Maj. Merrill left here the whis-
key sellers have become very. bold, and
are dealing out their poison open and
above board. He ordered them to leave
the reservation inside Of forty eight hours;
only one of them obeyed the order. AS
soon as the majors back was turned they
continued selling, thereby encouraging
others to come in and do likewise, so that
now there are no less than dozen whis-
KEY shops in the Bad Lands. If the Uni
ted States marshal doesn't take them in
hand, or Maj. Merrill carry out his order,
I don't know what is to become of us, un-
les. we take the law in our own hands.
There are several barrels Of whiskey Sc
creted in the Bad Lands and Indians

Work Of the Presbyterian Church.

Some notes presented by the pastor
last Sunday, in a report Of the work
of the year just completed: may be
of interest to the community. The
average attendance at Sunday services has
steadily increased from fifty-two the first
quarter to sixty the last quarter, an in
crease of fifteen. The average for the
year has been tifty-fve. The increase has
been IN favor Of the morning, i. e. the
permanent, congregation. The morning
con gregation has averaged from three 10
four greater than the evening congrega-
tion throughout the year. SO few persons
attend both services, that about 100 per-
sons may fairly be said to have attended
per Sabbath. The membership a year
ago was twen'y-sx Three Of these have
been dismissed by letter Additions by
letter have been sixteen, on profession
three, in all nineteen, leaving present
mem bership torty-two. Nearly $1,000
has been expended for church expenses,
improvements and benevolent causes.
The pastor has solemnized six marriages,
conducted three funeral services, baptized
fourteen children and made no less than
500 visits, probably many more. The
Sunday school has increased from an
average attendance of fl1y-one the first
quarter to over ff!y-nine the last, an in
crease of over sixteen per cent, averaging
for the year fifty six. Collections have

president a nan With whom he finds
himself easily in sympathy, aud likes
him perhaps all the better that be
does not appall him by any sense Of
greatness.
The atmosphere which pervades the
White House under the present ad-
min~istration is that Of a we'll con-
Quoted household, in which honest
industry and a happy domestic life are
the most salient features. If one does
not expect any brilliant achievements
from this plain man, he feels at least
sure that the White House will be
free from scandals, that rogues will
hnd no quarter there, SO long as he
stays in it. 1t is worth much to the
country, too, to have so fine an ex-
ample of a hearty, happy, simple
home-llke in the executive mansion as
that which is now presented. There
IS no vulgar display about it; it is the
domestic administration of an n
tentatious American family, with only
such changes and notifications as an
official residence absolutely requires.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes enjoy living in
the White House, and make no at
tempt to conceal the fact. They are
sometimes criticized by fnical persons
for such frankness, but the mass Of
the people are not likely to quarrel
with them very seriously because they
like the quarters which the nation has
assigned them.

EDTsON'S LIGHT.
No Signs or Deterioration In the Work.
inc OF the Carbon Horseshoes.

A special dispatch from henlo Park.
N. j., says: The critics to the contrary
Notwithstanding, Edison's horseshoe
lights still continue burning, emitting
the same beautiful orange-t tinted glow
that they did when first shown to the
public. The lamps, watched with the
closest scrutiny, are the two hanging
over the vacuum pumps in the labora
tory, as they were the first perfect
ones put in electric circuit, and upon
them depends practically the most
important test of the endurance of the
carbon. Up to the present writing
they have been in actual operation 800
hours-that il, the electricity has
passed through them that length of
time in the aggregate. Every day
they are taken down and tested by the
assistants, Messrs. Crosby and Jehl,
to ascertain whether any change had
taken place in the carbon flament.
Thus far the galYonometer indi-
Gates no change; the lamps burn
with exactly the same brilli-
ancy and give the precise cleo
trical resistance they did when first
connected. The total number of lights
now constantly burning is eighty.
twenty of the number being street
lamps. Six new dynamo machines
are in process of construction, and
when finished will be Immediately put
to work, supplying current for scores
OF new lamps awaiting them. Scarcely
a day passes without some little i'm
provement being made either in the
simplicity or cheapness in the manu-
iacture of the Tampa. Some few minor
defects that were apparent in the
lamps which were first constructed
have been remedied. Although adj
mission to the laboratory is now by
card, hundreds ofvisitors still continue
coming to Menlo park 10 see the street
lamps and examine the lights in the
stores and dwellings. Among the
visitors not a few are largely inter
ested IN gas illumination, Who come to
see for themselves, aud critically ex-
anime the light in all its parts, To
such and to all scientific men bent on
honest inquiry, the inventor has or
dered every facility to be given for the
most thorough inspection.
