Milwaukee Railroad Building.

Onawa iowa Gazette February Is.
1t is understood, in railroad circles,
that the work the Milwaukee company
has mapped out to commence early this
season, and which it considers as most
important for it to build, is as follows:
First, the building of the defiance line to
Sioux City, which would give its northern
line, usually blockaded with snow every
winter, an outlet to Chicago, and would
undoubtedly constitute the fayorite route
for the Milwaukee between points i'll
northwestern Iowa, southeastern Dakota,
Minnesota and Chicago at
all seasons Of the year. Lastly, the build
ing of abont 65 miles of line in the Jim
valley in Dakota, completing various
branches now in operation, which would
give the Milwaukee a direct line from
on the Northern Pacific,
down the Jim valley to Sioux City, and
thence a direct connection with Chicago
via the Defiance line. 1t would seem to
the casual observer as though the con-
of the first and last of these lines
was of prime necessity to the Milwaukee
system forming a connecting link which
it cannot we'll afford to do without. The
past few winters have called the at
tention of railroad managers to the fact
that this section of country is peculiarly
in the severest winters, to the
easy operation of railroads following a
north and south course along our valleys.
The Iowa branch OF the Sioux City and
Pacific road, ever which snow rlow was
never run, has never known such a thing
as a blockade With the construction of
these routes, mentioned above, the Mil
waukee would have system of roads.
extending from the Northern Pacific down
the valleys to Sioux City, thence to Chi
cago, on which a blockade mig never be
feared, and place it at an immense adj
vantage over its competitors in the great
northwest,

The Prussian Officer.

The one thing that Prussian officer
gives his whole mind to, after the inn
portant matter of the tightness of the
trousers is settled, is his mustache. No
matter whether it be black, yellow, red,
or the neutral ashen blonde, it must re-
ceive so much care every day, and be
nursed and watched all the time. 1t is
carefully combed to a point, the ends
are turned up toward the eyes, and
those ends waxed to the point of staying
there perpetually 1t gives them a
ferocious, man-eating, brigandish look,
without which they would not be Prus-
sian officers at all 1t is a miracle in
the way of pointed stiffness, and it is
that one way all the time. 1t isn't
pretty, but is the fashion among military
men, and they all, old and young, wear
their lip-coverings in that way.
Clad in immaculate uniform, his
boots polished to degree that is pain
full, with his helmet glistening in the
sun, and bis sword clinking upon the
pavement as he steps off with Il step
that no other man ever attained, the
Prussian officer is something that once
seen will never be forgotten. He was
as though he was really of the process
sion, and was actually anecessity in the
world. d.-Nasby IN Toledo Blade.

Legislative Notes.

Another county bill has been introduc-
ed in the house. 1t provides for the Gre
alton OF the counties of Delano, Scobey,
Pyatt, Sterling, Cheyenne and Jackson
from portion of the Indian county to be
ceded to the government for sale, entry
and settlement.
The bill creating the Office of district
attorney for the several counties was ar
gued for an hour and a half, and finally
referred to committee OF the whole by a
tie vote. The majority were in favor OF
the bill, but half objected to its immediate
enforce ment, preterring to let the pres
ent district attorneys serve out their
terms.
The legislature has begun to rush
business, but there seems to be little hope
of the passage of fSuperintenden Bcadle' s
educational bill.
The governor has sent to the house with
favorable Recommendation a letter from the
governor Of Montana asking cooperation
in the passage Of laws to protect large
game from hide hunters
Both houses passed the bill taxing land,
sold or leased or contracted to be sold OF
leased by railroad companies. The object
is to bring into assessors lists millions d
acres ofland on the Northern Pecifc nov
not taxed.

A Winter Tomb.

It is strange to see tomb made in a
tree-top. Such tombs, however, are
seen in the territory of small bands of
Sioux Indians in the Turtle Mountains,
Canada
If any of their number dies in the
winter time, when the ground is frozen
so they cannot dig grave, they place
the corpse in a rough box, wrap it about
with some white cotton, and carefully
deposit it in the branches of tree, in
tending to take it down in the spring
and bury it in the earth. But they do
not always DO this.
There is such tomb now but short
distance from the writer's present home.
In it is the body of an Indian boy, who
died little more than two years ago.
We pass close under it every day haul
ing logs to our mill. 1t is covered with
white cloth, and has a pillow, or cush-
ion, placed under the head of the coffin.
There the little Indian boy is taking his
last long sleep.
It is not secure place in which to
take the long sleep of death. There is a
danger more dreadful than the winds.
In the autumn of the year fierce fires
sweep over these prairies and through
the scattered timber, often burning
down the largest trees Near the roots
of this tree can already be seen the eff
fects of fire. = Youths Companion.

Electrifyinp a Rattlesnake.

The Southern rattlesnake, as well as
his Northern relatives, is capable of
sending thrill through the nervous
system of man by the mere sound of mis-
rattles. Heis himself of a very low
nervous organization. The writer once
submitted Il moccasin to the influence
of electricity, and though the entire
charge of a battery, of fifteen ..Leyden
jars y was passed through him. no other
effect was produced than to make him
raise his head, and yet this charge
would have killed ], man or horse in

teated.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Secretary Teller's Inning-His Reply to
 Senator Hill's Charges-And Some Talk
 by the Latter-VariOus Facts That In-
 terest the Pub1fcs
 WASHINGTON, May 2.-Secretary Teller said in an interview tonight that Senator Hills letter was full of errors and misrepre- sentations, but he did not propose to answer any portion of it that was local or personal in it's character, as he did not think the pub lie had any interest in those matters. As to the Yellowstone Park lease he took the ad vice of his assistant, MT. Joslyn, and of Mir. McCammon, the law officer of the depart ment, that the lease was in their opinion in accordance with the law. It does not, as the Senator assumes, give control of the park to the Iessees, that any other number of leases may be made in every respect as advant- apeous to the lessees as this one as nc exclus- i've privileges are given and no advantage 1s given in sites The lease covers sites for hotel and stage stations aggregaflng ten acres. Others may if they desire have the same. As to the ruling of the department in favor of corporations in the matter of land grants the Senator made only general charge concerning matter of which he could know no more than the general public, that the writings have all been made to conform to the decisions of the Supreme court and the opinions of the Attorney General concerning the duty of the executive departments in that respect. The Secretary remarked that he is net authorized to legislate, but to ad ministar the laws. whether such laws are in eccordance with his views or not. The Sen stor might have ascsrtained what his views are on the subject from the last annual report from the Department of the Interior Senator Hill. anticipating Secretary Teller's replv to the charges embraced in his letter, said tbis evening that every statement in it is strictly true. Mir. Teller he thought would naturally seek to break it's force by general denial. but upon some of the points he will have to face the evidence. He says that the attempt recently made by soms of the Secre- tarv's friends to create diversion from the real questions in view by indirectly cnarglng that he bought his seat m the Sen ate is unworthy Of hotce, ana nAS no foundation to rest upon Eff 1t had,
 he said. tit vould have been used against me long ago. The truth is Senator Chilcott or no responsible person has presumed to make such a charge. The nearest approach to it was contained in card rom oenHsof Chaffee in which he said that my election had according to my own statement coss ne BPS, 900. This statement was so vague tnSe I deemed it unworthy Of notice, slnee MT Chaffee might have referred 70 tne iegII- innate contributions made by me to my marty in the State Whatever charges nave preferred against MT. Teller have been made ,var nv sionature. If he will adopt like course and be responsible for the statement that I furnished or caused to be used money in any corrupt or illegitimate manner con nected with my election to the Senate will afford him at the earliest day possible an op- portunity to prove the charge.

A Great Rendering of JuI

A Great Rendering of Julius Caesar.
 CINCINNATI, May 2.-Julius Cesar as given at the dramatic festival this afternoon, its second presentation, was a masterpiece. The performance lasted four hours, during which time the interest was unfagging Mo Cullough enacted his favorite role Brutus, and Barrett his almost self-created Cassius. With him like Neilson's Juliet and Cush- mans Meg Merriles, the character will die. Miss Forsyth as Cossar's wife had little or no opportunity to display her abilities. In the tenth scene the reconciliation of Brutus and Cassius was a revelation. Never was any thing seen like it. Tonight 'tMuch Ado About Nothing'' with Rhea in the cast was given and her studious application to the in struction of leading elocutien teacher in the part is manifest in her improved enunci- ation. Her foreign accent is not nearly SO marked.
