The fact that wa have 70 90 to Eng.

The fact that we have to 60 to Eng
land to buy two ships with which to or
ganize an Arctic expedition is astrikmg
illustration of the poverty of our own
country in this respect. IF time per-
mitted we could no doubt build the ves-
sells desired, but crisis finds us wholly
barren of resources. There arc, it ID 60
be presumed, a few staunch ships left in
the American whale and seal fisheries,
but they are mostly of antique type and
lily adapted to the service of cruising in
polar ATTITUDES. The experience with
the Yantic seems to have satisfied the
government that no ship in the navy is
adapted for this work.

Parker, Oak, Special:-The town is excited
over at attempted murder at Finlay, five miles
southeast of that place. A man named Matt
Miller has been living during the winter with
an old couple in Woodbury. county, Iowa, and
induced them to sell their farm in Iowa and
come with him to Dakota, representing that he
owned farm that they could work. They
bought two teams, took the rest of their money:
and all three started for the territory, arriving
at Finlay, he induced them to go to an old
house which has stood vacant for long time,
telling them they could stay in it ali
night and in the morning go on
to his farm Miller alighted
from the wagon, and as the old gentleman got
out Miller dealt him heavy blow on the head
with club. A squabble ensued, during which
Miller procured an ak and attacked the man,
knocking him senseless, and then attacked the
woman, knocking her down. He did not gel
any money, but turned to run away just as the
old woman was reviving. She soon found he1

and the two went to another house over mile
away, giving the alarm to the neighbors, who
immediately came to the place, and notified the
sheriff, and he is now in pursuit tits supposed
that Miller intended to murder them both, take
their money, and leave the country, but was
frightened in some way.
