1t Is q surprise, even to the old resi-
dents of Dakota, to be confronted
by the probability that the territory has
given majority of sixty thousand for
the republican candidate for congress.
This majority exceeds the majority of
most states aud it has been given in be.
half of the patty which not many years
ago denied our people the boon OF
representation in the national govern
ment and place in the sisterhood of
states. It would seem as though the
Hales of the senate, in this hour when
q majority of the states has declared
against the republican party. would feel
that Dakota, in reafiirming Its loyalty,
in the face of snubs and insults, was
heaping GOALS Of fire on somebody g
head after the good old orthodox fash.

ICE RESERVOIRS.
Javos in Different Countries Where
Loo May Be Got the Year
Round.


lNeW YORK NOVEL
In many countries ice Is obtained from
natural ice-houses, wherein, while the ordi-
nary temperature outside Is 30 degrees, ice ia
continually forming. Such q ravine or
cavern has been found in New Jersey, and
near Lincoln, Vermont, there Ia a glen in
which snow and Ice lie all the year round
One Of the most remarkable OF these ice
caverls is that Of Dobschan, In Hungary.
1t Is quite near the town, and is approached
though a narrow, winding limestone valley,
called @Stracenasr Thai" 1t is in the interior
Of mountain, having a general direction
east and west. The entrance is near the top
and extremely narrow, and was only discov-
sred by accident. Once, inside, a remark
able scene is beheld, the ice, which seems
formed in many layers, having assumed all
the peculiar shapes that characterize the
limestone caves OF our own country. The
total rock and ice surface in tho cave alone
occupy about 81, 900 square feet.
The cave Is divided into two parts, upper
and lower. In the upper part the roof is OF
limestone, and the door OF solid ice, and it is
divided Into two great halls Of wondrous
beauty. The roof of the largest hall is sup
ported by three enormous pillars OF clear ice,
one OF which Is hollow, and through which
hows a stream from above, producing strange
echoes and re~verberations. All about are
fantastic forms of ice resembling human be-
ings. pulpits, monuments and 80 on, giving
TO tina cave a most grotesque appearance. In
ono end the Ice forms an exact representation
Of a large cascade as II a rushing stream with
its spray had suddenly been frozen solid. De-
~scending to the lower room. the passage Is
100 feet In length, and by following
down through the ice you como to the nat
ural outlet Of the water.
In all countries such caves have been
found. So extensive Is the ice cavern on the
peak of Teneriffe tina. it affords a permanent
source OF supply. and even vessels are loade /
with its ice. This ice is columnar in shape,
and does not melt easily, aud so can b. trans
ported without great loss. Near the village
OF Stelitze, in the Carpathian mountains,
there Is one Of the largest ice caverns in the
world, and, curlously enough, 1t freezes In the
summer and rnelts In the winter. For in
stance, in midsummer the roof is entirely COW
cred with ~icicles, but 10 winter they disap-
pear, and by Christmas time the cavern is dry
and warm compared to the outside world.
Ice begins to form as soon as the spring opens.
In some deep mines ice forms at certain Pc
RODS. This Is the case in some Of the salt
mines of the Ural mountains- Great cavities
are formed In the gypsum. and in the winter
they are hlled with clear water, but in the
summer they are frozen solid.
We have similar cases nearer home. In
this state there are several Ice wells, and an
ice cave has been founda at DEBORAH, Iowa
