Pioneer Press: There is music in the
crisp and bracing air Of Dakota. Notice
has been given in both houses of the
Legislature Of the Introduction of bills
for the removal Of the capital from Bis
marck. This means that South Dakota
feels her oats. She has got the::organiz-
alton and the committees, and now she
wants the capital. Undoubtedly South
Dakota has majority in the Legislature.
and the majority can play the very devil
il it wants to.

THE CAPITAL ExoIREMENr.

Since the southern members in the Ter
ritorial legislature have taken things into
their own hands, and introduced bills to
remove the capital, the Bismarck people
and papers are very enthusiastic for di-
vision. But it is too late. The south
proposes to force the fight. and either
make the cry for division unanimous or
remove the capital--or both.

NANTICOKE, Dec 22-l .. m. Th0
work Of rescuing the twenty three
miners imprisoned in the Ross vein was
suspended tonight for the hrst time
since begun last Fri day. Worse than
this, 1t 10 believed ct this hour that the
miners are dead. The suspension,
which at first was thought to be tempor-
ary, must last till morning, and its
causes have led Superintendent Morgan
reluctantly to acknowledge that the
men below have little chance Of being
now alive.
The stoppage Of work was first due to
q fall OF waste material In the steep in
cline, which was reached early to day
by the rescue tunnel, and which leads
at sharp upward angle to . gallery
sixty feet above, and which itself leads
to the subterranean chambers where the
men are confined. This fall occurred
at 6 O'Clock, and was followed soon
after by rush Of black damp, which
made further work at that time lmpos.
sible. By midnight 1t was thought
that the foul gas had been forced out
by compressed air and the suction Of
the ventilating fan.
Another gang Of men was sent down,
but 1t was found that the black damp
had 30 increased that all work must
stop for the night. At midnight, be-
fore this gang we're lowered to the
depths below Superintendent Morgan,
who had been In consultation with
others, was full of hope, but when the
renewed effort at rescue was defeated
by the deadly gas he buried his face In
his hands and was silent. Then he
called the miners around him, and
said : " We must continue our work,
though we may believe that our com.
rades are dead.
1--WE will work all night to force out
the gas, and send down another gang
In the m orning." In the meantime the
force of men ut work ut the bottom Of
the slope, the regular entrance to the
mine, has been doubled and the work
from this end will be pushed ahead in
the effort to reach the living tomb from
that point.
Throughout the day until to.night's
interruption the brave heroes Of the line
pushed their work of rescue with an
industry that was almost fierce In its
rapidity. All day long. too, the friends
and kin Of the imprisoned men below
have kept watch at the mouth OF the
shaft, awaiting with hearts and fearful
eyes for some message from the bowels
Of the earth. To night the same crowd
of men and women waited In agony OF
suspense to know whether they are to
mourn for the lost or rejoice over those
returned as from the dead. The moon
which floods all the valley with its
light, smiles upon the black hill side
where they stand with mooking sere
nifty. Its silvery face is not more mys
terious than the fats of the men whom
earth holds In its hidden grasp.
