A. j. Waterhouse created envy and
admiration in the breast OF all observ-
ers, as, on Friday last, dressed iii his
best bib and tucker and moved solely
by patriotic impulses. and the efferves-
ence of his lrrepressible oratorical tai
ent, accompanied by his wife and chill
dren asa restraining influence, hedrove
from II. n. Lewis stable, in a stylish
$3.50 buggy, a handsome well greomed
team. On Saturday Nh. Lewis cem-
menced to receive by freight various
accounts Of MI. Warehouses; journey
to Woonsocket done up in parcels, rep
resentative delegates, as it we're, from
different parts Of the buggy. An anx-
ious survey of these demoraliZed GER
tificates for returns from his chariot
proving futile, he annoyed the tele-
graph operator by incessant inquiries
for the team which he had every reason
to believe would be forwarded by wire.
The horses subsequently arrived by the
usual way not quite SO handsome but
| alive. Six miles out of Letcher Mr..
Waterhouse encountered the gale. He
reached a house in time to procure
shelter for his wife and children and
had just tied the embarrassed team in
the barn when the storm broke. 1t
took the roof off the barn, scratchedthe
team to some extent, carried the buggy
fifteen rods rolling it over a piece of
plowed ground like an india rubber
ball and wrecked it completely. Mr..
Warehouse was fortunately near a
dwelling for had he been unable to pro-
cure shelter. frightful injuries to him
self and children if not death would
have undoubtedly been the result.
Marvin Hughitt, vice president of
the Chicago & Northwestern road, and
P. e. Hall, manager of the Sioux City
division, have been in Rapid City re-
Gently, and stated that the contra act
had been let for 1c1 miles to that city
from Chadron, Neb., Is miles to be done
this year, and the rest by July l, 1886.
That will be the first railroad city in
the Black Hills. The grade of the road
is heavy and will average 60 feet to the
mile.-Mail.
Mitchell Mail: To show how imita-
tive are children: Monday, Mrs. A. A,
Hammer washed some small garments,
and while hanging them on the line,
the oldest child, 8 years old, had strip
ped the yearling to its birthday suit,
and had all the clothes in the tub,
washing them. The mother found the
nude baby crawling around the wash:

Hanson Co. Advocate: New Mexico
is getting ready to ask congress next
winter to admit her. AS she is safely
democratic there can be no objections to
pairing her with South Dakota. 1t is
reported that the friends of these two
territories are working earnestly for a
double-headed administration. North
Dakota and Montana are also justly
entitled to admission. ]

from a sermon of a Welsh curate
preaching to an English congregation:

The Indians belong to the landed ar
istocracy Of the United States. The
265,0O0 Indians occupy 175,O00 square
miles Of land, in their reservations.
Each of these wards of the nation owns
a little morethan twp-thirds of square
mile. The reservations of Dakota,
Montana and the Indian Territory
comprise 10000 square miles, occupied
by $4,000 Indians, or less than one
savage to the square mile.-Mail.

The behavior of Fifth avenue girls
continues to be modelled after the Lon

New York correspondent. Fashion
feeds on ridicule. The more fun that
is made Of Anglomania the more it ia.
