A letter received in this city from n
former Deadwoodite, in Bismarck. states
that Governor Pierce expressed regret
at having vetoed the capital removal
bill and remarked that he would rather
have given his whole years salary than
to commit the act. Why did he do it ?
Press & Dakotian.
Because, the probabilities are, the
governor took the advice of some one
horse lawyer at Bismarck and promnl.
gated what he thought we're weighty
legal reasons for doing SO, and then
when twas too late, found ont better.
He will probably after this avoid the
counsel of Bismarck legal talent, and
rely on his own common sense. that
common sense which he displayed when
v~etoing appropriation bills and appoint

A Good Trade in Progress, All Things Con-
sidered-Prices Ruling Steady
INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. II.
Trade during the week closing to-day showed
decided improvement over the volume of the
preceding week. and is largely in excess of that
of the corresponding week of 1884. Collections
are improved, and promise to be entirely salts
factory in the near future. Dry goods men re-
port a steady movement, keeping up the average
volume of business. There is to be noted this
week an improvement over the same week last
year in volume, and a frmness in prices not expe-
renced since 1889 The weather has been all
that could be desred-cool enough to realize
necessity for warmer clothing and delight
full enough to invite the most delicate out of
doors for shopping excursions The advances in
prices recently noted are firmly maintained.
Especial is this the case with wooden goods,
fannels, blankets, jeans and yarns. At the
present price of raw material another advance of
per cent would be entirely in order and is ex-
pected, and compared with prices of 1882 when
raw material was same as now, an advance of %
per cent would not put the price of manufact-
ured goods to the list OF 1882 The popularity

kindred cloths car ladies' wear continues.

all classes of strictly all-wool goods. Prints are
slow. and the demand for dress style ginghams

THE ENGINEER'S WHISTLE.
He Can Make 1t Play Tune if He Wants To
Result of Long Practice.

Baltimore News.
Have YOU ever heard of engineer who
could play tunes upon the whistle of his loco
motve?' asked railroad man of the reporter.
III have heard caliiope music. but cannot say
that ever heard a tune played uDOn the whistle
of locomotive" was the reply.
Well.' continued the railroad man. II know of
an engineer who can do it. and consider that he
not only has an ear for music, but that he is
musical genius or prodigy. His name is Bob
Covln. he is about thirty years of age,
married. and is the engineer of locomotive that
runs freight train the Valley read between
Harrisburg and Lexington. Va. For instance.
he knew Of two of his young friends
who were to- be married. They resided
upon the line of his route, and
every time he passed their homes he played the
tune of In the Sweet By and By upon the
whistle of the locomotive. Then, again. as is
usually the case, he has girl of his own, and
every time he passes her house he plays the tune
of The Girl | Left Behind Me-"
This playing of music upon engine whistles,
where there are no connecting pipes and keys
similar to the caliiope is certainly remarkable"
replied the man of news
II have often heard the music PLAYED" replied
the railroad man, land vouch for the truth
of my statement There is another thing abou.
engine whistles that wish to speak of, and that
is the peculiar code of signals that engineers
have for announcing their proximity to the
homes of their wives and sweethearts. Have
you never heard what you thought was a rather
peculiar whistle coming from a locomotive2n
'Oh, yes, and and others in my company at
the time have remarked upon it."
'Well, these peculiar whistles are nothing
more nor less than part of the engineers code
of signals. by which his wife sweetheart is
notified of his coming"
This statement WAS verified by brother rail
road man. who said: II have seen young lady.
who understood her lovers whistle, walk to sta
ton or road crossing, where the engine had
stopped"
The conversation upon engine steam-valves
and musical notes was concluded at this point
and the reporter hurried away to look up other
items.
