The census law of 1879 provides for
government aid to states and territories
taking semi-decennial senses. Mayor
Edwards, of Fargo, supervisor of census
for Dakota, has been to Washington
looking after Dakota's interests in the
matter of compensation for taking the
census of oar territory.
Tue United States will pay the states
and territories 1,250,000 for this census.
Dakota having had the greatest increase
of population receives the largest com.
pensation in proportion to population.
Maine had an increase of but ITO per
cent. between 1870 and 1880, and gets
Sic. 900, the least allowance of any ex.
cept that of Wyoming. The following
shows the amounts available for some oi
the western states: Minnesota, S3l, ,497;
Illinois, S67 ,536; Iowa, $44.l33; Wiscon.
Sin. 4,316; Dakota, $50, 1918; Nebraska
$35, $50; Indiana, S44, 1873.
The schedules contemplated are; 1
Population; 2. Productions of agrlcul-
ture; 3. Productions of industry; 4

Captain Dan Maraey e94els that he Las
been badly treated by faction of the
democratic party, which put him forward
for governor without his consent and
then, with no authority whatever from
him, identified him with the
Ordway policy of that faction.
Captain Maratta vigorously disclaims
any intent upon the govsrnship and says
the only position to which hs has aspired
is that of United States marshal. It is
we'll enough known that he has openly
opposed the methods and measures of
tho Ordwayites Of Dakota and after his
long contest against them it is hardly
fair to surreptitiously implicate him
with the crowd.

ment shat Col. Villas has ordered the
clerks of the appointment division on
extra duty. The work in that division
is greatly in arrears, and the clerks must
put in three hours each evening, in addi-

the clogged channels are cleared. It is
authoritatively announced that no ap-

Canton's representative men are TAX
ing steps to actively cooperate with
Yankton in the movement to secure an
extension of the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad to this city and have already
gone 10 far as to interview the manager
of the Northwestern corporation on the
subject. When the Yankton citizens
committee first began work upon the
railroad problem the proposed line of
operations was first to connection with
the Northwestern at Centreville and ul-
timately in northeasterly direction to
connection with the st. Paul & Omaha
division of the Northwestern at or near
Sioux Falls. Subsequently letter was
received from T. Thorson, of Canton, who
suggested the Doom connection, via Can.
ton, as one long contemplated by tho
officers of the road. A Yankton com.
mittee was appointed 10 confer with the
Canton people and as result the latter
have already had personal conference
with the officers of the road and
with favorable results. This route
would give us q connection
with the Iroquois line of the North
western and with its st. Paul line and
also direct connection with the east and
west and north and south lines of the
Milwaukee road. It would pass through
the best portion of Dakota-a region not
occupied by any railroad and one of
never-failing productiveness. These are
inducements to the railroad company to
! occupy it. The inducement to action on
the part of Yankton is competing line
of road, much needed in our efforts to de.
velop the recources of the country
tributary to our city.
1t is generally agreed that the present
season must advance some project for
the relief of Yankton. A railroad which
cost US $250,000 has been of little benefit
to ue. People are permitted to come
here and go away on slow trains, freight
trains, or any mode of conveyance the
company sees fit to establish. While We
have not been as fairly treated as We de.
sired to be,we have made no public com
plant and have uttered no open protest
Yet all along there has been deep seat
ed conviction that this condition must b,
remedled and the relief We have conf
IDENTIFY looked to has been a competing
line of road. The opportunity to &C
complish our desires seems now to pre-
sent itself. With the proposed line con
structed would come an extension of tn
road of the same corporation from Hart
ington and a river crossing would b
established. This is matter for futur,
consideration. For the present the frs
proposition is the one upon which t,
concentrate our energies.

Malarial Poison.

The drought in southwest Georgia last spring
dried up the wells, and we were compelled to
nss water from the creek on the plantation.
The result was that all were troubled with
ties Of Swift's Specific and as long as took it
had perfect health. As soon as ceased tax
ing it, like the rest, was afflicted with chills.
When resumed its use, was all right again. We
have used it in our family as an antidote for
malarial poison for two or three years, and have
never known it to fail in single instance.

A Case OF Mistaken Identity.

A good joke is told on w. w. Nc
Nulty, the well known engineer. A few
days ago he had occasion to visit his farm
near Hughesville. Thinking he might
run across some wild game in that locali-
ty he took his shot gun along. While
passing through Muddy bottoms, he espied
a large flock of black looking fowls strut
ting around through the leaves. He at
once jumped at the conclusion that they
were wild turkeys, and, taking his breech-
loader from the wagon, he slipped up and
fred shots into the flock. After the smoke
had cleared away he picked up eleven of
the lifeless birds and placed them in the
wagon, and was about two drive of, when
an aged darkey put in an appearance, and
after looking at the lifeless victims Of Mes
good craftsmanship exclaimed "See
hea, boss, what's yer guiDe ter do wild all
dem turkey buzzardsp
The hunter did not wait to answer the
query but drove hastily away. After
turning q corner in the lane he stopped his
team and fired the dead buzzards over into
a field and pursued bis journey homeward.

NEEDY NESBITS.
The Most Pitiful Tale Yet Told in
Sedalia's History.

Yesterday morning gentleman passing
by Kruse d Frederick's meat market on
Ohio and Seves;h streets was Mortified TO
observe small boy emerge from the vacant
lot sdjoining the market, ravenOusly
goawing upon raw bone, thrown ont
among the refuse. Approaching the little
fellow he inquired:
Are you hungry"
ayes r,piied the boy, crying and look
ing as though he expected TO be punished
Tor getting the bone.
The gentleman was too full for further
converse, and, taking the Boy to an adj
joining restaurant, ordered him to be
furnished whatever he could eat. Coming
down town, he notified Marshal Barnett of
the circumstance, and that official immedi-
ately instituted an investigation, which
soon revealed the fact that the boy was a
son Of
JAMES NEsBIT,
residing at the corner OF Twelfth and
Osage streets. A visit TO the house reveal
ed csse of starvation unparalleled in Il e
history of Sedalia. The family consists of
the father, mother and five chill
dren, the Oldest, 10y of 10, being
sick In bed, while the youngest is
but four months old. The family
had been without food or Ere since the pre-
vious day and at the time of the call, Mr..
Nesbit wss away seeking something to eat.
A glance was sufficient and as quickly as
he could Marshal Barnett repaired TO his
home and procured a sack OF meal and a
side OF meat which he took To the famish-
ing family. On his return he found that
the father had come back as empty as he
had lef', being unable TO procure anything.
Some iuel was procured TO last them over
Sunday and Mr.. Mckinley sent them me
coffee and meat
Mr.. Barnett says that Mr.. Nesbis has fire.
quently inquired of him for employment
and that he is quiet,
SOBER AND INDUSTRIOUS MAN,
but since the severe cold weather set in
has been unable to find sufficient work 10
keep his large family in the commonest
necessities. The family are also almost
destitute OF clothing. but have kept their
extreme proverty hid through that sense OF
pride which SO often induces persons to
starve to de-th rather than make their
condition known, and il is not improbable
that bu, for the incident which opens this
article, some,if not all OF this family would
have died.
Mr.. Barnett states their case is worthy
one and this should be sufficient TO insure
them Inc attention so characteristic of Sc
dslia, the more especially as Mr.. Nesbit ex-
presses his readiness and willingness TO
earn that help by any honest labor
given him.
