The Pnnr Bed Nm.

The Pierre Signal, which is on the border
of the largest Indian district in Dakota,
wants change in the dealings of the gov
eminent with the red wards of the nation.
It says: ''The truth is the whole system is
corrupt and wssteful and should be remod-
eled. Major Swain is an exceptional and
good agent. He has the confidence and
respect OF the Indians as well as the whites.
But where Indian women like Mrs. Fielder
marry, they are not entitled to the same ra-
tons as the squsw who remains on the re-
servation as the wards of the govern ment.
People who live near these Indians drive a
good trade with them and have for years
AS soon as they draw their rations, especially
of clothing, blankets, shoes, ETC., nine out
of every ten Immediately hasten to the near
est trader and trade OFF the articles at one
fourth their value. When it is computed
that the United States pays out many thous-
ands Of dollars every month for articles the
Indian neither values Of cares for, we can
to a certain extent comprehend the extrava-
CANT waste. This Indian bureau and ring

ruption, and we can expect for awhile econ

Yesterdays Fires.

telephone alarm took the department 10
Kahn Bros.' dry goods store, corner of Sew
enth and Jackson streets, 1874 yesterday
afternoon, defective chimney fue having
fred the three story brick building between
the second floor and the ceiling. The fire
was supposed to have been entirely sup
pressed, when at 6:47 an alarm was sent in
on box 81 which took the department to the
same place, concealed sparks having ignited
the wood work again and completely charred
two of the joice. The fire was again got
under control, but had it not been
discovered about the time 1t was a
most serious confagration must
have ensued. The loss on the building,
which is owned by Stees Bros, was 800
and on the contents of the store from $50 TO
SIS, both being covered by insurance.
The third alarm was q still at 1871 p. m,
which took the department TO Sol Broadway,
where Goals dropping from the open door Of
a stove in the commission store of w. j.
Hope, had fired the floor. The building is a
two story frame owned by j. M. Cooley, and
the damage to it and contents was about SO.
In running TO the evening fire on Jackson
street, Henry Ashley, of truck No. 2, froze
one Of his ears. while another truckman lost
a new overshoe, which he win be grateful
enough to- have returned to central fire ball.
The calling out OF the fire department
twice within few days by the mercurial
alarm 10 the Pioneer Press building is said To
be caused by a defect in the putting up OF
the wires inside the structure, and not to any
defect in the system.

Finhtinn r,r Illusions.

The outbreaks in Sphinx aud Roberts are
greatly deprecated specially for tine reason
that they will be used at Washinton to shoE
that the ''rowdy west" is not fitted for state
govern ment, and to defeat Dakota legislation
generally. The fact is, there is trouble over
county seat locations in vast number OF
counties, but only the two named have aired
their folly so as TO a:tact general attention.
The experience is pretty much the same in
all new countries, but the law is calculated to
develope them in Dakota. The Hillsboro
Herald says: Take the history of nearly
every county In Dakota and it will be found
that perhaps the largest single item of ex-
pense, exceeding that for roads and bridges
and inter nal Improvements, has been in-
CURED in litigations and unseemly squabbles
over the illusionary bonanza, the county
seat.

HASTINGS, Dec 24.-Roads drifted, but
farmers mus: have their Christmas times.
The streets are full of teams with produce.
Last Friday night quite a sensation was
occasioned by the stealing of two valuable
teams, harness, etc., from parties in En-
pire. Sheriff Con neEy, with his usual fore
sight, sent his men in every direction, and
found the thief. The capture was made in
vasa, Goodhue county, by Deputy Sheriff
Neil Connolly, assisted by j. P. Lindluist,
of Red Wing Team, harnC IS and other goods
were recovered. The thief was safely locked
in the Jail here and proves to be a veteran
crook, sailing under various aliases, viz;
Sid Miller, John c. Davis, etc. Too
much credit cannot be given TO Deputy Neil
Connolly for his keenness in the pursuit
Re took into custody one of the most daring
horse thieves in this section; every farmer
rests easier and blesses Neil. St. Cloud
parties and others would DO well to enquire
as to the whereabouts Of their horses and
rigs.

two nearest hydrants, TWO streams we're
thrown thirty feet high, and two twenty-five
high. The second test was made at the
school for the blind, using 100 feet of hose
for each stream The water was thrown
forty-one feet high. At the school for the

feet high. "Your committee do not consider
them effective fire streams" This test was
made by request of the officials of the state
institutions. The third test was made al the
Shauuck school. Two streams were thrown
seventy-ave, or about fifteen feet over the
ridge Of the rSOf of the Manney hall, and
two more about the same height over the

perfectly satisfactory by your committee.Q

writer in the Msndan Pioneer relates this: a

1900 bushels, by measurement, to Duluth
firm. The wheat was received and dumped
into the maelstrom elevator. It was graded
No. 3, and return made of 1.500 bushels to

consignee for justice, and was told that the

assistants, etc. But the farmer insisted on

Der, when Mr.. Wilson was compelled to re-
tire on account OF falling health. Since be

Kern Knockinn-

The Waichnran in Silly county represents
a large clrss of south Dakota journals in the
suggestion that if congress don't divide or
admit, the matter should be taken In hand
and state groomed up to run as urged by
Gen. Campbell last year. The paper sug-
gests: Then let US again knock at the
doors of congress for admission, aud, if they
are not opened unto US, let them be knocked
down. There is nothing revolutionary in
such a procedure, for other states, with far
less claims to recognition, gained admission
by the same method. II would also be
good plan TO flood congress with letters, pa
pers and petitions from all over the terri
tory and make life burden to that august
body, individually and collectively, until they
dispose of this important question satisfac-
tOrily." The theory is that the conditions
under which this northwestern territory
was acquired, allow a state when the popu-
lation reached $4,000, and that a state gov
erument should be organized and its right
to place among the states taken to the
United States supreme court in disregard of
con cyr,.ag
