Of considerable interest to Dakota.
II says: An advance party Of one
hundred persons arrived here Satur-
day en- route for Charles Mix county
in Dakota. The proposed settle
ment is on the Missouri river about
. hundred miles northwest of Yank-
ton. The Times correspondent to-
day met Mr. Spykman, who is secre-
tary Of the Holland colonization So
ciety, and who is accompanying the
farmers to their new western homes.
They desire to settle on good agri-
cultural lands, and If Spykman finds
the country favorable for their pur-
poses he says there are twelve thou
sand Holland farmers with consid-
cradle capital who will 60 there.
The movement originated in the re-
ports sent back to Holland by a
wealthy Dutch farmer who settled in
Charles Mix county two years ago.
He sent back the most nattering re-
ports Of the country and his neigh
bors began to think Of emigrating,
and the emigration fever has sud-
denly grown to large proportions.
The present movement has received
impetus also from the present bad
condition Of the agricultural inter-
ests in Holland. Another party Of
three hundred il also en- route.

A SURVEYORS STORY.

Ed Palmer of Yankton, an expe-
riencea surveyor Of government
land. was found on his way home
from Bismarck, ana gave the report
or sone points about the way in
which genuine scrip is issued. The
theory OF the plan is that where set.
tiers 90 on unsurycyed land they
may put up the money to have the
land surveyed, and the government
viii issue to them what is known to
the trade as surveyors scrip. This
scrip, to make it negotiable, must
have certificate of transfer attach
ed. The money deposited must be
in an approved depository of gov
eminent funds, such as exists in
nearly every city in the west, or
with the assistant treasurer at Chi
cago or San Francisco. Most of the
scrip IN market comes through these
two offices. The theory that
THE SETTLER PUTS UP THE MONEY
and takes the scrip is not always
borne out by the facts. In many
cases the surveyor to set a job puts
up the money, usually $685. per
township, and takes the scrip This
he sells at a slight discount Deal
ers have been getting from slSS to
1892 for script of the face value of
5000. The amount needed for
quarter section of 100 acres, at 81 25
per acre, is $500, and as a saving of
about 4 per cent. can be effected by
the use Of the scrip there is much
demand for it. More than half the
land surveyed in Dakota during the
past year was under this surveyors
scrip plan, the balance being paid
Tor by the totally inadequate appro-
priation.
THE SALES FROM THIS CITY
alone last year amounted Ito over
100000. This goes mostly to
Dakota. The North
srn Pacific country mostly gets its
supply through ST. Paul and Mime
ipolis dealers. As far as known this
santa Fe bogus scrip is the first
surveyors scrip put on
lie market.

case. The point is well taken, but
as the scrip is in substance a gov

The Guiteau Trial


WASHINGTON, January 20.-Mr. Scovile
resumed his argument to-day, He called
attention to the testimony of DR.. Hamilton
and said that from the very start he had
perverted his own testimony and studiously
made use OF strong objections showing the
intensity of his feelings against the prisoner
He pointed out several instances where Dr.
Hamilton had used strong adiectives where
none were needed. Mr.. Scoville continued
to review the evidence, and was frequently
interrupted by District Attorney Corkhill
and several word passages took place be
tween them.
Mr.. Scoville continued to discuss the
subject of the head diagrams, and the pro-
ceedings were growing somewhat tedious,
when they were enlivened by the prisoner.
His first ntterance was from some, cause
He had been busily engaged in
reading papers, when he suddenly
toek advantage of the pause and called out:
"The District Attorney has run out Of
money. He can't pay these fellows till he
can get an extra appropriation from Con-
gress [Laughing.l They will go home
with less money than they expected. Serves
them right"
Mr.. Scoville then proceeded to antici-
pate the argument of Judge Porter and
pointed out TO the jury the falacy
Of the argument which he predicted Judge
Porter would advance to support the theory
Of the prosecution and to secure the hang
ing of Guiteau. In conclusion he said at
