Rurned With Her Children.

OLYMPIA. W. T., Dec. 16.-This morn
ing at Long Prairie about eight miles from
this place, a deplorable event occurred,
news of which was received here tonight.
Mrs Miner, a relative of Mr.. David Cham
berS, has for some time manifested symp-
toms of insanity, and. according to report;
she last evening saturated papers with coal
oil. and distributed them around the house,
telling one of her children that she was
wetting them with water. Early this
morning she made the remark that she was
about 10 destroy the whole fam
lily, and her husband, fearing that
she was about to attempt his life, proceeded
to put her out of the room, but on opening
the door discovered the house in flames.
Reaching the front door with one of his
children he found it locked and the key re-
moved. ThereupUn he ran to the back
door and found it nailed up. Finally he
and his little daughter succeeded in escap-
ing through a window, but were both badly
burned. The unfortunate woman with
her four remaining children were burned to
death. The survivors were taken to the
residence of Mr.. Chambers for medical
treatment

Judge church satisfactory.

Judge Church, the successor of Judge
Smith, seems to be giving general satisfac-
ton on the bench, but the Ipswich Gazette
is exceedingly unhappy over the course of
the Judge in selecting clerks out of the
counties. 1t relieves itself in this strain:
How can man have the brazen effrontery
and consummate gall to thus ignore the rights
and wishes of people already maddened by
the insult to which they were subjected by
his own appointment as judge, rank car
pet-bagger. is beyond our comprehension.
All that holds the people in check and pre-
vents them from taking the law into their
own hands and forcibly and violently de-
handing their rights, is the thought that Da-
kota is on the eve of admission into the
Union, and the probability of the time during
which they will have tie endure such inj ustice
being Of short duration. Under other con-
ditions we would not care to be in the posi-
ton OF a man guilty Of such high-handed
abuse Of power, bodily safety alone consid-
cred.

DAKOTA DOTLETS.

Miss Cynthia Cleveland, attorney, who is
said to have secured an Office at Washington
as representative of Dakota, is also re-
ported to have applied for admission to the
bar of the supreme court of the District OF
Columbia, and inquiry is made as to her legal
attainments. Gov. Ordway should be able to
vouch for her. While in Dakota she was at
one time engaged to be married to very
promising young man, but broke off through
devotion to her profession, as she feared that
the responsibilities of matrimony would in
tefere with her legal practice.
The Campbell followers in the south take
the view that the moment Gen. Campbell's
gavel dropped at Huron Monday, South
Dakota became state under the constitution
of the United States, the precedents of con-
gress and the unwritten law affirmed
by the supreme court. 1t is the pur-
pose of that faction and the men who
hold office under that machine, to
hold on like grim death, believing that perse-
verance will eventually bring success.
There is very great enthusiasm at Kimball,
in Brule county, over the final success
of the artesian well at q depth Of 935 feet
throwing out barrels q minute or 5000
day. 1t was contracted for at 81, 900 for 1000
feet, and was comm need Sept. s. The Index
publishes elaborate drawings of the well,
with excellent likenesses of the men engaged
in the work. The impression that the same
cuts were used to represent baseball club in
the New York Police News is probably not
strictly correct.
The Aberdeen Republican learns that Dem
ocratS over the territory are quite literally
taking the stock of the Democrat Publishing
company, which is expected to publish a daily
large enough to gather all factions among the
Democrats under its wings and induce har-
mony. If Col. Barrett is at its head its success
would seem to be assured.
1t is stated by the Aberdeen Republican
that L. G. Johnson. noted in Dakota politics.
is in New York closing negotiations with
capitalists for the sale of the projected rail
road from WATERFOWL to Bismarck, and
its construction the coming year is assured
It is hoped to change it's route so as to strike
Aberdeen.
A young man in the vicinity of Kimball, in
Brute county, made his tongue so offensive
in defaming ladies' that the ladies gathered
feathers, the men tar. and some forty OF
them turned out to equip the blackguard in
that uniform, but he saw the shadow of the
coming event, and skipped the country, and
will not be likely to return.
In some of the strong prohibition towns of
the south where there is surplus of young
men, the girls are announcing as their rule,
THE man who takes the red, red wine shall
never glue his lips to mine" Some include
in the prohibition, whisky, beer and tobacco.
1t is figured up that the South Dakota state
machine only cost cents for each person
and it is believed to be worth more than that
for advertising puI poses. There is much sur.
prise that the president did not remember the
|, matter when writing his message.

SETTLERS WEI NOT SUFFER.


Dakota Land Spectators only. will
be Affected by the Iraiii Decision.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 16.-Inquiry at the
general land Office to-day, concerning the
recent decision of the United States SUI
preme court, by which tine treasurer of
Trail county, Dakota, is enjoined from
collecting taxes on lands granted the North
ern Pacific Railroad company, ELECTED SUBJ
stantially the following statement: In
1870, when making the appropriation for
the survey of lands granted the Northern
Pacific company, congress added a proviso
that before title shall pass from the govern
ment there shall first be paid into the treas
ury of the United States the cost of sur
veying, selecting and conveying the same
by the company or
PARTY IN INTEREST,".
The Northern Pacific company has never
asked or received patents upon it's lands in
Dakota. but has left the title in the gov
eminent, thereby relieving the company
from the cost of making the surveys and
from the burden of local taxation 1t is
further said by the general land officials
that even if congress should declare for
fixture OF the entire Northern Pacific land
grant, for alleged noncompliance with some
of the terms of the charter, the bona-tide
settler would in no manner suffer, as his
claim is held to be superior to all others.
and that hardship would result only to land
spectators and owners by purchase from
the railroad company of large tracts. In
these cases recourse could only be had upon
the railroad company.

HELENA, Dec. 1.-THE Cruise Mountain
Consolidated Mining company is a new cor

to tunnel into the same mountain that the
Drum Lummon mine is located on, and will
commence operations at once.
The Blackfoot placer mines have panned
out well the past season, the Whittier Bros.
alone cleaning up over $50, 900, and other
miners in the camp have met with good sue
cess.
coal company has been organized to
operate the new coal mines in Grizzly gulch,
two and half miles from Helena. 1t is the
intention of the corporators to prosecute the
work vigorously in order to get the coal on
the market as soon as possible.
News from the Red Mountain tunnel dis
trict continues to be of the most encouraging
nature, and work is being pushed ahead with
renewed vigor.
Col Isaac d. McCutcheon and Judge WILL
lam Chumasero have formed a law partner

The position taken by President Cleveland

Our wealth and prosperity lies in the silver
deposits of our mountains, and to demonetiZe
silver will be a death-blow to our prosperity.
But we will see what we will see, and hope to
escape the suicidal policy of the Eastern gold
bugs.
Reports from the stock ranges say that the
cattle are in fine condition to rustic with the
snow and cold of our winter months, and that
the losses will be below the average.
It is currently reported that the Union Pa
cific Railroad company has offered to sell to
the Northern Pacific Railroad company that
part of the Utah s. Northern road between
Butte and Garrison. By this purchase the
Northern Pacific will be saved the expense of
building new road to Butte, and the North
ern Pacific will no doubt extend the Utah &
Northern from Butte to Helena via the Ten
Mile.
One Of the richest mines in Montana to-day
is the Granite Mountain, near Philipsburg
Over $1,000 was taken from this mine in the
past month by the labor Of only four men an |
So, 500, 900. This is considered a low estimate
by experts who have visited the mines in the
past week.
The Montana Improvement company has
decided to close down all of it's lumber mills
until they can find out their status with the
government on the timber question. By
this stoppage about five hundred men will be
thrown out of employment.
The mill owners of Butte held a conference
the other day with the Union Pacific railroad
officials on the salt question. The railroad
offered to deliver salt at Butte for SIS per
ton, but the mill men would not agree to give
more than $3.50 per ton. including the cost
of salt. 1t looks as if the mills would close
down.
The Helena land offices report business
good. The new land officials, Howell and
Lunghorne, work like old hands at the bel
lows.

DUBUQUE, Ia, Dec. 16.-The means

all alone at work, when in fit of frenzy
he dove chisel through his head from

after the act, he was still living, but de-
