Fertile as Eden Itself.

Much has been written about the wonderful
fertility of the magnificent and vast agricul-
tural domain of Dakota. The subject is Consid-
cred baokneyed and threadbare. So much has
been said that even the humorist sometimes in
playful fancy looses his imagination, gives his
ideas a wild or fantastic turn, and tries to cx-
cite mirth and laughter by ludicrOus images or
exaggerated representations OF Dakota's crops
and agricultural possibilities. But let the hu-
morist of the Brooklyn Eagle or Of any other
journal have travelled with us last week, by rail
and team, through the counties of Codington,
Clark, Sphinx, Brown and DiCkey, an empire
within themselves, viewed this vast, bOundless
and beautiful expanse Of yerdans prairie always
beautiful in nature but now rendered more
beautiful and lovely, since lis soil, stirred by
the electric couch of the husbandmau, has been
seeded by the product of civilization and the
humOrist's power of exaggeration would have
been hardly adequate TO draw 8 picture which
would have exceeded in beauty and truthfulness
the real picture of this wonderful landscape.
Wheat, corn and all kinds Of cereals, rooted in
soil rot exceeded in richness by the seeming fab
uIous fertility of Eden and vlvlted by the re-
cent rains, greet the eye in broad expansos on
either side. Trees or timber culture claims and
homesteads, from the size of those just germin-
ated to ten feet in height adorn the wayside and
the field. The eeason has been especially favor
able 70 quicken and produce rapid growth in all
vegetable life. The crops in the James river
valley were planted about ten days earlier han
here and are consequently a little in advance Of
our crops, Just as ours are in advance OF those
in Minnesota. Vegetation always has started
caller in that valley but the season does moi
continue as late by about two weeks. The crops
considering the time planted, look sbo1: the
same in all localities, very promising indeed.
The yield of wheat from present indications
must be from,20 to 40 bushels per acre, Water

Mutual killing.

DURANGO, Col, June GA messenger from
DOLORES valley, who arrived this afternoon, says
the Indians have killed his neighbor named
Genther, seriously wounded his wife and burned
his house, barns, hay stacks, etc. The messen-
ger confirms the report that cow-Doys had killed
SIX of a family of Indians. One escaped, came
20 the agency, told mis- stery, and Immediately
$50 warriors came to the agency and wanted re-
Eezgs. Agent Stollsteimer paci6ed them BY
agreeing to 90 with twenty-five of their number
to Port Lewis, there to get an escort of soldiers
and proceed to tbs scene of the trouble to in
cordingly the agent and Indians passed through
this evening en- route to Fort Lewis. Another
messenger arrived here this evening bringing a
report that q party Of Indians met Joe Dougher-
II, while on the way to his home near Mitchell
Springs, killed him and carried bis wife into
captivity. Capt. Perrin, whO was in camp in
Montezama valley with three companies, sent
Capt. Doughsrty with his command to the scene
OK the murder. 1t is stated that the commander
Of Port Lewis, hearing the action Of Capt. Per-
IN, Immediately sent a company Of cavalry TO
intercept Capt. DOugherty, fearing he might
Iosss his discretion and seek rsveBge for the
death OF his brother and tbs captivity Of his
wife. There are many conflicting stories As to
who c0mmenced the troubles. The cowboys
claim the Indians. On the other hand, the In
dams and their agent accuse the cowboys Of
szrfyIng ont their threat to Kill all Indians
found out Of the reservation.

Washington City has great deal of
money invested in statuary, and some
of it may be looked upon as q mighty
poor investment. Greenough's naked
statue of Washington cost $40, 900, and
the Statue of Liberty away up there on
the Capitol dome cost $50, 900. Clark
Mills, the sculptor, received great sums
from the Government, though he died
comparatively poor. Fifty thousand
dollars was the price paid him for An
drew Jackson, who sits upon rearing
horse opposite the White House, and
he received another $4,000 for his
equestrian statue of General Washing
ton in Washington Circle. Another
$50, 600 statue is that of General Thomas
in Thomas Circle, and it must make
the taxpayer happy as he looks at it to
remember that Congress paid 800, 200
for the pedestal, and that the four
bronze lamp-posts around the base
cost $4,000 apiece. Away off to the
east of the Capitol, in Lincoln
Square. three thousand pounds of brass
represent Abraham Lincoln giving
freedom to the negro. The statue cost
SIT ZOO, but it was paid from contribu-
tons made up by the freedmen of the
South. General Nathaniel Green
stands in park northeast of the Capt.
toll at cost of $4,000, and in Scott
Circle, General Winfield Scott has
been embodied in bronze for $45, 900.
Winnie Ream's statue of Farragut cost
$4,000. The statue of Mcpherson, to-
gether with its pedestal, cost about
$50, 900, and down in Rawlins Square,
southwest of the White House, there
is a bronze statue of General Rawlins
which looks just as we'll at cost OF
$4,000. In addition to these there is
the statue of Professor Henry in the
Smithsonian grounds, which cost a
small fortune, that of Admiral Dupont,
opposite Blaines, which represents a
large enough sum of money to pay
several times Congressmon's salary,
and the beautiful bronze statue of Mar
tin Luther in front of the Lutheran
Memorial Church, which cost but 81
600, and is as fine piece of statuary
as you will find this side of the water.

Mrs. Runkle'S Museum.

Mrs. B. B. Runkle, of Mexico, Mo-,
has pet crow that can swear in all for
eign languages, and when the saucy
bird was heard making great TODD
out in the yard of the lady's residence
this afternoon the investigation result
ed in beholding "Jim Crow" making
full tilt for the house, with large
snake in pursuit. The reptile chased
the bird over the porch and into the
hall, when, becoming frightened at
the shrieks of Mrs. Runkle and her col
ored servant, it stopped and coiled up,
spreading itself out fiat, somewhat re-
sembling plate. In spite of its ugly
appearance, Mrs. Runkle grabbed q
door-weight and killed the snake,
which proved to be spreading viper
q little over three feet in length, and
one of the most venomous reptiles
known. When the snake was struck
a live frog jumped out of its mouth,
which frightened the lady more than
the reptile itself. The snake, frog,
and crow are all on exhibition at the
