1t appears from the gathered statis-

are far more fatal to males than fe.
males. Pulmonary consumption, OF
the other hand, is more deadly to the
latter. Females. in cities are more
prone to consumption than in the coun

emigration have majority of females

there is more than 6 per cent. excess Of
females in the living population. From
which statistics we conclude that all

Brown. ordw.y asd DouEis. County.

Brown. Ordwsy shd Douglas County.
Scotland Citizen: There il no longer
any room for doubt on the question Of
Governor Ordway's conspiracy with
Walter II. Brown, to plunder the peo-
pie of Douglas county. Heretofore
clrcum stances alone have fastened that
crime upon him, and while q majority
of the people of that county have
accepted such circumstances as ample
proof of his guilt, minority, equally
honest, have preferred the governors
theory, that through the bogus petition,
upon which he based the Brown organ.
ization, he was the victim of imposition.
1t has now transpired that while Browns
scheme to organize the county was pend.
ing, Governor Ordway applied ct the
Yankton land Office for an abstract of
filings on land IN the county, and the
same, showing but twenty-seven filings
of every character, exclusive Of the ten
Brown filings of about that date, was
furnished BY Herman Ellermsn, the
principal clerk in the Office ct that time.
Is it to be wondered ct, that it was cur.
rently reported IN Yankton at the time
OF the organization, that Brown had
petition, and the latter said, "get up
some kind of petition and I will organ.
ize the county for you?" And il it moi
reasonable to believe that Brown acted
upon this advice when he manufactured
the petition purportlng to be signed BY
fifty.six legal voters of the county
which Nehemiah has SO frequently
brought forward as certificate Of good
character.

1t is said that Senators Edmunds and
Garland. of the senate judiciary com.
mittee, are opposed to the bill allowing
four judges in the territories instead OF
three. Their opposition is based upon
the ground of additional expense to the
government, and that the judicial busl.
ness OF territory is not SO large that
three efficient judges cannot transact it.
If the honorable senators and members
of the house Of representatives will vote
aye upon another pending proposition
Dakota will gladly assume the payment
of its own judges. Until such time as
Dakota sees fit to assume the dignity ol
statehood it may expect to meet Will

The Groton Drown county, Eagle

the meshes of north Dakota politicians
North Dakota coming as an opposing
faction, there must surely have been an
enormous amount of tickle. me sentiment

out south Dakota in manner that re-
fleets no credit upon the Judases

greater political factor in this territory.
The himsy excuse that the southern
counties were drawn into the compact
before they knew what they we're about;
does not cut a figure that will satisfy
any south Dakota man, who knowing
its strength. saw it transferred for few
little temporary favors, which would be
spurned by an honest man as the price

brought upon decided majority, which
could have chosen its own terms Of repre-
senting Dakota. through the same pow

who were obliged to enter southern ter.
ritory to dupe and rob US at the same
time. The men who Joined the northern
scheme are spotted as traitors, and when
opportunity offers they will meet with
the punishment they SO richly deserve.
The counties which Sent these misrepre
sentatives will not back them is selling
out popular sentiment, much less will
south Dakota overlook it.

A detailed account of the plans

state that when completed, the various
buildings of the asylum form perfect

avenues. After much discussion and
thorough investigation, doctors and
scientists have agreed that this is the
most feasible and humane system of
buildings ever suggested for the proper
care of the unfortunate insane. The
building for which the contract was let,
ID but one OF the series. A great advan.

RIVERS AND HARBoRs.

The Bill Nearly Ready-An Effort to Secure
an Appropriation for the Missouri.
Washington. April 26-The house COM
mittee on rivers and harbors has practi.
,cally finished the bill, although many
items may be changed before it ID re-
ported to the house. Hearings have been
given to all the members of congress
directly interested. aud to-day the Mis-.
slsslppl river commission resumed and
concluded its arguments before the COM
mittee. 1t is expected that the bill will
be reported early next week, and will
appear in the aggregate about $l3,OO0,:
600. 1t is $2,000.000 larger than was
intended at the outset, but even with
this amount the committee followed as
Tar as possible the rule of appropriatirg
one. quarter the amount required in the
estimates OF the engineers. Here.
tofore the rule has been to ap.
propriate one quarter of amount recon.
mended. Following this rule would
have made the bill appropriate at least
Sl5.O0O,0OO. In his argument before the
committee. Gen. Washburn recommend.
ed S60,OO0 for the Duluth harbor. The
committee will probably make an excep-
tlon in this case, and appropriate the
amount asked for. Under the rule
adopted they will recommend about
$4,000 for the reservoirs at the head.
quarters of the Mississippi There is
still something unexpended for the res.
ervoir system, about $4,000, and it j.
thought that from $4,000 to $4,000 will
be ample for continuing the work this
year.
Washington, April 2s.-Delegates Ma.
ginnis, of Montana, and Raymond. of
Dakota, together with their friends,
from states bordering on the Missouri
river, have signed petition which has
been presented to the house and
referred to the committee on
rivers aud harbors, requesting that ST..
100000 be appropriated for the improve.
ment Of the Missouri river from its
mouth to the head of navigation in
Montana. The delegates were appre.
hensive that the lower portion OF the
river would take most Of this amount
but they believe that if it is left to the
secretary of war the larger part of il
will be expended upon the upper portion
of the river. They hold that this part OF
the river is most important, in view Of it
extensive commerce, of which q large
) portion is tributary to St. Paul. Mr.
Maginnis argued before the committee,
that if the committee would make the
appropriation for the whole Missouri
river in one sum, and leave it to the dis
cretion of the secretary of war, he woull
be satisfied, but if they divided up the
I appropriation, be wanted $3.50 600 for th,
Missouri above tho Yellowstone, ant
100000 for the Yellowstone below Glen
dive.
