tiers.
Gen. p ii. Sheridan has addressed . letter
to the Chicago Board of trade, inviting CO. opor-
alton with the government in relieving persons
in Dakota who have suffered from recent Mis-
souri, floods. Gen. Sheridan says that great dis
tress exists in the overdowed districts along the
Missouri river in the Dakota Territory, from
at least 200 miles, that he is officially informed
that there are in the vicinity Of Vermillion and
Yankton, about 8, 800 souls in . destitute con-
dition, some 2, 500 of whom will require sub
sistence for from thirty to sixty days. There
are reports from up the river, north of Yank-
ton, which show that as many more people in
that section will need subsistence for the same
period, and most of these people need more or
less clothing, particularly in the shape Of blan-
kets and underclothing It is estimated that a,
least {, 900 men, women and children will re-
quire relief in the whole inundated district
The government is doing all it can to aid these
people, but the small stock Of supplies will
scarcely tide over theimmediate wants which are
now so pressing, and Of course this aid can on
" be extended temporarily in great emergen-
cy to prevent starvation. Money, clothing,
blankets and male and female underclothing
for children and adults, -four, salt meats, sugar
and salt are most needed. Contributions NAV
be sent to Gen. Terry, St Paul, who has charge
Of government relief, or r. Smith, mayor Of
Sioux City, Capt d. d. Wheeler, q. s. A., Yank-
ton: and G. A. Hand, Territorial Secretary.

Debating Habits in the Senate.
From Washington Correspondence.

From Washington Correspondence.
A great change has come over the char
acter of debates in the Senate during the
last half dozen years. Formerly il was
contrary to the rules Of etiquette in that
body for one senator to interrupt another
while he was speaking. On the rare occa-
sions when it occurred, it was done with the
greatest courtesy. and if the senator who
had the floor intimated that it would be
disagreeable for him to be taken off his feet
nobody thought Of such thing as pressing,
and almost forcing, him to stop. All this
is now changed. Nothing is more common
than Interruptions of this sort, and it makes
very little difference how plainly the inter-
rupted senator shows that he is displeased.
Only perenptory refusal to yield the
floor, which sometimes has to be enforced
by the presiding officer, will protect him in
his rights. It is simple truth to say that,
considering the difference in numbers of
the respective branches, man has more
difficulty in holding the floor in the Senate
than in the House. The change used to
worry old Thurman a great deal. He cor
rectly attributed it in large measure to
Blaine, who brought over the rough.and-
ready methods of the House, and who has
been backed up by other recruits from the
lower branch. Sherman criticised it very
sharply the other day, as he was abundant
" justified in doing, when the somewhat
too unanimous Joe Hawley PERSISTED in in
terrupting him, to carry on controversy
with democrat, after he had protested
against such doings.

A Woman's Success as a Hen.

The Hartford Comm Times says there is
woman in the northern part Of the city
who matches hens eggs by keeping them
inside the bosom Of her dress. She has
actually hatched out several chickens in this
novel way, and is said to br.ng off brood
of three or four at a time. OF course, when
once started the eggs must be kept right
there, in that warm nest, night as well as
day, and one would think there might be
danger of getting them broke in her sleep.

rying such articles about with her in the

DAKOTA.
A Dakotian Talks About the Fair PROSPECTS, Of
His YerritQry.

ADakotfan Talks About the Fair Prospects Of
His Territory.
Judge W. W. Brookings of Sioux Falls, Oak,
in conversation with Chicago Tribune re-
porter, said that nine tenths of the people Of
Dakota want the territory divided on the 18th
parallel giving the southern part 81 900 square
miles and the northern part 10000, with a
population of Ito, 600 in tho former portion
and 10000 in the latter. As soon as congress
could pass an enabling act and the people in
the southern part form and vote on a constitu-
ton, the population would exceed the required
complement for state and within two years
the Northern part would have the requisite
population Upon being asked upon what facts
he based his prediction of such an increase,
Judge Brookings said; The growth of Dakota
by the census of 1880, for the last ten years
was S54 per cent, nearly three times as great
as any other state or territory. The most of
this growth has been in the last three years.
ana At the same rate OF increase my predictions
would be more than verified. The emigration
to Dakota in the next five years will be immense.
Will read you an extract from q letter lust g.
ceived from the Hon. A. s. Phillips, United
States consul at Fort Erie, Canada: ''Last week
between thirty and forty citizens left this county
for Dakota, taking 81 OO, 900 in property and
money. From another point further inland, in
one day 1913 persons, with nine car loads of
live stock, left Canada for Dakota. From an
other point thirty two in number, and 80 on.
The immigration to Dakota from Ontario is
something marvellous This is only from one
section. Even Consul Phillips has caught the
infection, and after holding the Office OF con-
sui at Fort Erie for twelve years he has re-
signed, and will make Sioux Falls his future
home. Last year $50 miles of railroad we're
constructed in Dakota leading all other states
and territories. This season as much more will
be constructed There are seven parallel lines
of railroad running through Dakota east and
west south of the 10th parallel. These roads
are all built in the most substantial manner. and
with the rapid settlement and development of
the territory, they will be we'll supported and
prove good investments for the owners Can you
doubt from these facts that we will soon have
population enough for two statesp

PROF. TIDY, in q paper read before the
London Chemical society, restates, in re-
ply to DR.. franklin, his firm conviction that
a fairly rapid river having received sewage
in quantity not exceeding one-twentieth Of
its volume, regains its purity after run of
a few miles. and becomes wholesome and
good for drinking This opinion is in en-
tire accord with numerous analyses of water
in the western rivers of the United States,
which has always been found purer, even
when taken few miles below large cities
on their banks, than water from a majority
of theinterior lakes.

JUDGE SHERMAN PAGE, Of Austin, has
written long letter, severely criticizing the
recent trial of John A. Riley, and particu-
larry the alleged conduct of Mr.. Goodwin,
the county attorney. He makes charges Of
conspiracy among the business men of the
place to defeat any fair trial, and says Mr..
Goodwin, the county attorney, in his wish
to aid, Riley, acted dishonesty toward Judge
Page. He is satisfied there was aedeliber-
ate plan to give the case away and he thinks
the jury was composed of personal and po-
Atlcal enemies to himself, one of them he
charges with having said before the trial
that Riley ought to be hung for not killing
Page" He ends by saying that if the courts
are powerless to protect the lives of citizens
the sooner the people drift back to the prin-
ciples and practice Of self protection the
better. Mr.. J. NJ. Burlingame, of Owatonna,
associated with the county attorney in the
prosecution, has also published a letter de-
aging seriatim all the injurious charges Of
Judge Page, and Sitting that the prosecu-
ton tried to do their whole duty in the mat
ter, and that MIR. Page from the outset of
his connection with the case, threw every
possible impeachment in the way of success.
In addition to this statement, Judge Farm
or, in his charge to the jury, specially com
plimented the attorneys on both sides 70,
their able presentation of the case. With
these new issues it will be understood
that the Austin unpleasantness is not in .
fair way of immediate settlement.
