Information from Chamberlain indi.
oates unusual activity among the cof-
fee cooling Sioux at Lower Brule agency.
Their activity consisted in laying violent
hands upon our former townsman,
Major Henry Gregory and throwing
him over fence and then Waiting
around him in the most approved wild
Indian fashion. Major Gregory has
been among the Sioux long enough
to know that this move
was only an attempt to
irighten him. Still it is not pleasant to
be scared in that way. The cause of the
disturbance was an effort 10 comply
with the order of the Indian bureau to
take census of the reds, to be used as
the basis for issuing rations. They are
now drawing more than they are en-
titled to and naturally enough want to
continue to receive the surplus. The
Lower Brules have always been bad In
dlans and have been kept under
only by liberal feeding. In
the days when their agency was far from
white settlements DR.. Livingston, then
agent, had many hard tussle with them
and only subdued them through the star.

force near at hand. Fort Hale was then in
existence, contiguous to the agency, and
was strongly garrisoned, but now there

him into o commanding position before
the great body of Methodists, and his
election as q bishop would be updoubt-
edly, as it is urged, popular thing to
do. His ettainments are conceded to he
quite sufficient for the Office. On the
other hand, strenuous opposition comes
from the more influential Methodist
clergy, especially from the magnates of
the book concern, whose building in this
city is the headquarters of the bishops,
and whose profits provide their salaries.
The strong point made against Newman
is that he turned his back on the Metho-
dist church and struck blow at her
system OF itlneracy when he undertook
to establish himself in the independent
pulpit OF the Church of the Disciples.
At that time he was bitterly assiled by
the Christian Advocate, the official or
gan OF the bishops, and it was suggested
in print that he deserved to be expelled.
The editor of the Advocate is chosen by
the bishops annually, and he ia con.
trolled in his policy by the will OF the
older and more potent of them. Right
up to the illness of Grant the attacks on
Newman were continued; then came
silence regarding him; but his funeral
Grafton was published at full length in

ed principally with the remarkable
change of treatment He participated
with Newman in the mortuary exercises,
be has long been close friend of the
Grants, and he went to Ocean Grove
with Newman. Newman's campaign
has the characteristics of political one.
His chief worker Is Stephen Merritt,
the undertaken whom he brought into
| the Grant funeral. Merritt is wealthy,
jealous Methodist and the possessor
of much influence in his denomination,
OWING to his devotion for many years
to the cause of total abstinence. He
Is extremely active to fill the vacent
bishopric with Newman. The second
resort OF the Methodists as to size, is
Round Lake, and there both Newman
and Merritt have spent week. But
it was st Ocean Grove that Newman
made what is mentioned as his most
adIoit move. He made a capture oi

of st. Lawrence and the ports of our
northeastern seaboard are compelled, of
course, to go around the peninsula of
Nova Scotia. About 800 miles would
be saved if they could use canal across
the narrow neck that connects that
peninsula with the mainland of New
Brunswick. 1t was once proposed that
a canal should be made there, but now q

Statistical Agent Baynes estimates
that Dakota has this year produced a.
100000 bushels of wheat, and Immigra-
ton Commissioner Dunlap states that
our territory ranks third among the
spring wheat growing states and fifth
among the states which produce the
combined crop of spring and winter
wheat. These figures and facts give us
an idea of what Dakota will be able to
do in the way of feeding the world
when its resources are fully
developed. Not more than onet tenth
the wheat growing area of our territory
is now utilized. In the estimates given
no account is made of the corn, oats
and fax crops or of the cattle, hogs and
horses produced upon Dakota's native
grasses. The years combined product
will make a showing of startling pro.
portions and might be used with good
effect on some of the down east states

1t is not generally understood that q
law passed by the legislative assembly
OF 1883 provides that in case of conyic.
ton for murder the jury decides whether
the penalty shall be death or imprison-
ment for life. Section two of chapter
nine, laws of 1883, reads:
Upon trial of an Indictment for MUIR
der the Jury, if they find the defendant
guilty. must designate in their verdict
whether he shall be punished by death
or imprisonment for life at hard labor,
and the Judgment of the court shall be
in accordance Herewith.
At the legislative session of 1885 this
law was amended by adding the follow
ing section:
But upon plea of guilty the court
shall determine the same.
This law, of course. applies only to
cases coming under jurisdiction of the
territoriaLside of the court. The penalty
under the Unlted States law IS death
and in this district majority of the
murder cases have thus far fallen unde,
the jurisdiction of the United States
side of the court. Dickey will be tried
in the territorial court and the Law
above quoted will apply to his case.

The sensational drama has not yet
exhausted the fertile realms OF the
grotesque and the startling. The
Roadway flight from the topmost
tower of Notre Dame has been outdone
by the death-leap from Brooklyn
bridge; the deaths head flag at the
masthead has been hideously sur.
passed by the dead pilot grasping the
wheel on a monster ferry, and the
widest dream of realistic fiction has
never conceived anything so like a
nightmare OF the wide-awake hours rs
that fearful career OF passenger train
In charge OF a raving maniac. Is 1t
not like hideous phantasy of sleep?
The passengers covered and trem.
bled before that awful, living, irrespon-
sible creature who stalked along the
aisles with Notwithstanding revolver
pointed at each in turn.
They were as securely bound as by
the heavy bonds of slumber, and
sought as vainly and fearfully TO avoid
his rowing glance, ready to take of.
Tense at but look.
And the train sped onward, checked
and started at the bidding of furlous
Bedlamite, whose caprice was his only
guide, but whose widest freak was
obeyed by q superhuman strength, an
unreasoning ferocity aud an irrespon.
sible conscience.
The fearful suspense Of those hours
may well have blanched the faces OF
the passengers. He took advantage of
the first opportunity TO point his pistol
with fatal effect at AN unfortunate Of.
fioer who stood in the doorway of am
other car.
Such a terri or as this has not even
the advantage of being provided

insanity.

Beecher has been discussing evolu-
ton In his Plymouth church. Mr..
Beecher's acquaintance with various
departments OF science and his unsur-
passed power Of illustration particu-
larly fit him to word out clear sys-
tenn of philosophy in harmony with
the principles and results OF modern
science. He said he saw no bridge
between the human race and the ami
NAL kingdom in their origin. Man
had gradually grown up from barbaric
condition. Man appeared on earth
ages before the time given In
Christian history. The first people
to gain any knowledge Of God
was the Hebrew race, the people on
whom all the Christian world to-day
wipes it's feet. Gradually men have
found God by experience. God gave
no instructions to man originally, but
left him to find out everything for
himself. His only revelation was af
ter man had gained come idea Of moral
quality. The rest of Mr.. Beecher's
sermon was demonstration of the de-
velopment of the idea of God in the
mind of man. 1t Is Mr.. Beecher's pur.
pose to reconcile the philosophy of ev-
olution-in which he claims every ed
ucated man fifty years of age is q prac-
teal believer-and the questions of the
divine nature, human sin and the
atonement.

ised to deal with this malignant evil,
and as regularly violated faith with
the people who were deluded by its
pledges. The Democratic party has
often been accused Of being in league
with Mormonism, but ere three

party talks as little and does as much
