Ohio Floods.


The Cincinnati Gazette's steamer,
Kate Waters, has returned from tri,,
fup the river as far as Maysyille. This
is the only boat up the river since the
flood. Her progress was exceedingly
slow. Men on the steamer report no
bottom lands in sight from here to
Maysville. the river actually extend
ing from hill to hill. This means vast
losses to farms, details of which can
not be known until the water subsidies.
The people are very modest in their
requests, and ask for no delicacies or
Injuries; only bread and m9at. Man

taken aboard. They report the town

water. Many buildings. are ruined

farmers and others far into the IN

out this aid much suffering would
have resulted. All along the river
the late storm of wind did untold
damage to buildings, the repairs of
which after the flood will require
money and much time to render in
habitable. Aberdeen, opposite Mays

storm. The town is entirely destitute
of coal oil and practically in darkness.

~ Am Senator Dolnh..

Washington special to Minneapolis Tri-
bunc, 18th: Senator Dolph of Oregon has
very enlarged views concerning theimpor
tance of his senatorial position. Last
Tuesday night at the Presidents reception
there was very long line of carriages anu
such bad management of them that some
of the guests did not reach the White
House until the hour of the reception.
Dolph, who was low in the line only got
inside the White House grounds at 9:3C.
Here he found the carriages blocked. He
was delayed so long at this point that. he
became desperate. Sticking his head out
of his carriage he bawled to the driver Of
the carriage in front of him, ,.get ont of
the way. lam Senator Dolph of Oregon
The driver invited Senator Dolph, of Ore
gon, to go to Halifax. The Senator at
this got out of his carriage in the rain aal
walked up to the occupants Of the carriage
to complain of their drivers impudencc.
The people in this carriage politely told
Dolph to mind his own business, that they
belonged to Senator Palmer's party. They
added politely that it was a good thing to
know enough to go in when it rained. The
Oregon Senator promptly retired. Palmer,
who was in the second carriage in advance
Of Dolph, employed strategy and broke the
block of carriages. Hc bcckoned to q po-
liceman and explained to him that the
President was waiting for him, and this
faithful officer passed Palmer's two car
riages up ahead of all others, while the
unfortunate Senator from, Oregon never
reached the White Fouse at all

Open Beyond n Doubt.

Index: A letter was received in
Deadwood last week from Mayor Steele
by partner Daniel Mclaughlin, under
date of January 9th, in which he states
that he saw Delegate Raymond in Chi
cago, and that he informed him that he
thought there was not going to be much
trouble in opening the Sioux reserva-
ton. This was Mr.. Raymond's opinion
during the recess after converslng with
member RS Of congress on the subject, and
from hat We can gather since the con-
vening IF congress after the holidays :;
and the petition presented by Senator
Logan signed by ex soldiers and no OPP
position showing itself il is quite safe to
predict that within the next sixty DAYS
the bill will pass.
In a special message to congress the
president transmitted communications
from the secretary Of the intcrio, ac-
companied by bill for the ratification
of certain agreements with the Sioux
Indians and to grant right Of way
through the reservation to the Dakota
Central r.iiway company.

Cheyenne Leader, 18th: The Chey-
enne, Black Hills & Montana Railway
company has begun work in earnest.
Besides doing some surveying, the com
pany has purchased block of lots ia
the eastern portion of the city, just
north Of Lake Minnehaha for depot pur-
poses This location it will be seen, Is
desirable in many respects. The land
is i'm the midst Of wide fat and there
is natural outlet both northward and
southwark When the road IL built
that is to connect the Burlington & Mis-
souri, with Cheyenne, the city will have
TO be entered from the southwest. The
route AS contemplated comes up Crow
creek, and goes along the eastern side
Of Lake Minnehaha to the connection
with the Cheyenne & Black Hills road
From the depot OF this road, northward
there is n natural roadway up to Dry
creek and northward without grading
Thus the road will run back of the
cemetery.
This much is cleaned from casual
conversation with various members of
the new companies. Anyone who is ac.
quainted with the lay Of the land will
see that the companies have chosen
wisely. On no other location could con-
nection be made with the Burlington *
Missouri road and the Union Pacific SO
conveniently 1t is hinted that Lake
Minnenaha will pe allowed so drain out
and the ground occupied by il will be
secured for shops, freight yards, etc
a nd the fact that the new company has
secured lots just aboye the lake lends
color to the belief
1t will be remembered that the new
street car company is arranging to build
its road ont 10 the cemetery and will
necessarily have to build spur for a
block or two in order to connect with
the new depot.

A Novel Wedding.

Journal, 18th: We are indebted to a
gentleman who signs himself observer"
for the following account of the most
novel wedding that ever occurred in
Western Oak ota, in which the bride was
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. joseph
Wickham, formerly Of this place. The
communication is dated at camp on
the Little Missouri, January 4th:
a cowboy named Eugene Turbinville,
Of the Iash-knifc Cattle company,
whose range is on the Little Missouri,
some time ago fell in love with a fair
damsel whose name was Edith Wick
ham, who, with her parents recently
came from Rapid City and settled here
The ardent fame that burned in the
breast of the valiant broncho straddler
evidently touched the heart of the young
Lady, and when he declared bis passion
she acknowledged that it was reciprocal
ell. They agreed that they would com
mence the year 1884 together as man
and wife, in charge Of the Hash X life
horse ranch at the mouth of Box Elder
Preparations for the wedding were
made in short order, although in happy
anticipation they forgot there was no
one within long distance from them
authorized to perform the marriage ccre-
mony. Exceedingly cold weather came
with the new year They could not 60
to Spearlsh, and they could not think Of
waiting. Something must be done in
order that the nuptial knot would be
tied at the time fixed They insisted on
the local preacher from Rapid marrying
them with or without authority, but he
refused. Finally ranchman who lived
in the vicinity, and who had been a
justice of the peace in Missouri, propos
ell TO write marriage contract and
have it signed by the would be bride
and groom, and sent to Deadwood for
record. To this they gladly assented
New Years day came. Friends gathered
at the residence of the brides parents
To witness the signing Of the contract
and to take part in the festivities to fol.
made her appearance dressed in velvet
the groom took his place beside her, the
contract to take one-another for better
or worse was solemnly read and hearti,
ly assented to and signed Congratula
tons were offered, and the twain joined
! in so novel Il manner took their places
at the head Of a set for quadri.le.
This is the first wedding ever solem
nizcd on the Little Missouri, and it will
long be remembered by those who at
tended.
The bride is sister Of Mr.. Nick and
Miss Minnie Wickhaui Of Custer.

Let Us Think About IT.

The Sturgs Record at the end Of six
months has made some enemies and the
novelty of the thing, which induces
some people to patronize u home paper,
has worn of. judging from the following

"This plrcr is numbered 2G. That in
,icaies that six months Of its first year
is past The Record is six months old,
AMI having had a desire for several
weeks to engage in family talk with
It's patrons, this is an aus .1icious oc
casiOn.
The Record is not receiving the
patronage it one had Probably not
mach more than half the money is be-
ing paid into its till per month as was
paid three months ago. OF course this
is in some degree caused by hard times,
but that's not the only reason. The
Record cand pretty clearly demonstrate,
If il wanted to, why some patronage has
been withdrawn from it, bot there's no
need in doing it. One thing however
can oe said. 1t won't do to stop adser-
tising The suspension Of even little
one horse newspaper does town more
harm than the suspension Of any two
other business houses-yes, than half Il
dozen 1t cost more to issue the Record
now than it did three months ago.
| Nevertheless an occasional business
| man is to be found who don't patranize
the paper and one or two who have
busted thcmScvcs in an endeavor to
keep patronage away from the concern.
Ifthe Record is persistent in its collec-
tons, no man need wonder. 1t takes
money to pay rent, pay help. buy paper,
liquidate miscellaneous expenses, settle
mp notes Of hand, and ut the same time
wear more than one shirt month.
