DakOta's Penitentiary.

The territorial penitentiary, which has
been located one and half miles north
Of Sioux Falls on high plat of ground
overlooking that city, will soon be under
course of construction. We learn from
the Yankton Press Of the ed inst that the
board of directors of this institution have
just completed the final details for the
erection of that improvement, and the
plans Of tho architect were accepted. The
plans show an imposing structure, con-
sisting of main building and one wing.
All of this is to be built from the terri
torial appropriation of $4,000. 1t is the
design to erect the entire edlfic and to fla
ish so much of the inside work as the ap-
preparation will permit. This is the plan
adopted in the construction of the insane
asylum, and it is thought the building
can be made to meet present necessities
with the means at hand. The plan of the
penitentiary contcmplates the conslruc-
ton of a second wing by the United
States government should the appropria-
ton made by the last congress for that
purpose prove available.

The Arrest Of Capt. HOwgate.

Capt. Henry W.Howgate, recently Of
the signal service, has been arrested in
Michigan and taken to Washington. The
complaint on which he was arrested
charges him with embezzeling at differ
ent times in 1879 the seperate sums of
s1s,6Oo, $11, 800, $4,000 and $4,000. The
complaint was made on the 18th, the COM
plainant beng A, B. Newcomb, special
agent of the department of justice at
Washington. The complaint is not very
specific, but the facts are these: The sig
nal service department telegraphio bills
are very large, and vouchers to amounts
as large as $4,000 to $4,000 are often
made out to pay the Western Union Tele-
graph company. The company furnish
blanks for the purpose, and while the ex-
act methed of the alleged crime cannot
be stated, it can be said that Capt. How
gate is charged with making out false
telegraph vouchers to the above amounts.

Tender Love.

A touching story of tender love comes
to us from town not many miles from
this place, but which must be, under the
circumstances, nameless. A beautiful
young girl became engaged to a gallant
Union officer. At the close Of the war he
went to California to seek his fortune.
She ignored all advances from scores of
suitors and patiently waited his return,
feeling confidence in his keeping true to
her. So the years passed, and even a few
grey hairs began to show themselves
among her brown tresses, while her
friends no longer pitied, but ridiculed her
for refushing all advances from other de-
sirable sources. Lately her fidelity was
rewarded The lover Of her girlhoed has
returned from California, bronzed,
bearded and millionaire with wife and
twins.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, 6:3O p. NJ
There has been but little change in the
Presidents condition since the noon bull
letin was issued. The frequency of his
pulse is nearly the same as then. His tenn
perature has risen somewhat, but it is
not so high as yesterday evening. There
has been slight discharge OF pus during
the day from the incision in the paroted
swelling, but it is not diminishing in
size. No unfavorable change has been
observed in the condition Of the wound.
He has taken by the mouth sufficient
supply of liquid food. At present his
pulse is 112; temperature 1913; respira'
tion, 10.

ing officers could do with the troops at
their disposal, was simply jeopardizing
the lives Of the soldiers and placing a
terrible temptation in the pathway of the
hostlles to scalp the entire rank and file
and proceed with the murder until every
settler and ranchman between themselves
and the 5000 Indians that have
JUST CROSSED THE BRITISH LINE
had sacrificed his life. The idlotic policy
of the Interior and War Department in
their treatment of the Indian question is
a subject for ridicule and supreme con-
tempt. One department. sends out ten
armed men to capture 100 equally we'll
armed savages, and after a few lives are
sacrificed in the attempt, turns the prison
ers of war over to the other department
to feed and clothe, and ionize and sup
port in idleness, and finally re.arm and
equip them for repetition of their at
trocities.
At present the situation is 4 threaten
ing one, not to communities like Bis
marck, Mandan and Glcndive, but to the
pioneer sc ttlers and ranchmen that
ARE ENTITLED TO PROTECTION
in their honest endeavors to settle up and
develop the country. With the number
of men stationed at Forts Lincoln and
Yates that these garrisons can easily &C.
commodate, all danger is quickly elimin-
ated and the situation can be easily and
economically commanded. To an indi-
vidual the truth of these statements is
self.evident. But before the government
will take prompt action in the matter and
recognize the rights of the people, it may
be necessary to wait until score or more
of innocent men, women and children
have been brutally massacred.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1881-03-11

While everybody is aware of the vast
wealth of the Rocky mountain region in
gold and silver, the minerals of gysator
intrinsic value, and those, indeed, with
ont which it would be impossible to mine
and smelt the precious metals, have at
tracted but little attention. We learn
through the Bulletin of the American
Iron and Steel Association, Philadelphia,
which is good authority, that recent
discoveries in the south of Utah will
ultimately prove q source of immense
wealth. 1t reports the discovery and
exploration of twenty eight mountains,
made entirely of magnetic and specular
iron ores, yielding from fifty-two to
sixty-seven per cent. Of metallic iron.
The smallest of these mountains is larger
than Iron Mountain in Missouri. Largo
beds of both anthracite and bituminous
coal were discovered in the same region

MUST HAVE OPIUM.
The Chinese Protest Against the New
Law.

The Chinese contend that the opium
law passed by the last Legislature was
not intended to prevent them from in
dulging in their national vice, but was
meant to apply to the whites. The
lawyers hold the same opinion, but the
reading of the law is such that 70 one
is excepted. The Chinese say that to
stop opium smoking among them is
simply impossible. There are thousands
of Cinnamon WIN have used the drug
for years, and to be de prived of it for
twenty-four hours brings upon them
the tortures of hell. Police interference,
fines and jails have no terrors to a
Chinaman who wants to smoke. A fine
of $1,000 for each Whit of the pipe
would not have the effect of stopping
the use of the drug. The police say
that if the Chinese will stop selling the
drug to the whites they will not modest
them, and it is probable that the pros
ecutiens which have recently grown out
of the sale opium to the whites will
have the effect of bringing about some
such compromise.
