tainly no farmer who is doing satisfactorily
where he is should think of coming to Dakota
to settle.
Hail storms are of not iufrequent occur
renee in Dakota, and one which prevailed in
this section last year destroyed everything in
its course, and the farmers who, in the MORN
ing, looked out upon acres of growing grain
at night saw it beaten to the ground and real
ICED that the labors and expense of that SOW
ing had come to naught. Until last year
there had been no cyclone set down against
Dakota, so il is SAID. but the one which
swept through here last summer left death
and destruction in its path. Several people
were killed, buildings demolished, and much
stock persisted. To illustrate the severity of
the cyclone il is told that two brothers were
in the field at work, and observing the coming
storm, they unloosed the mules from their
work and started to ride homeward upon their
backs. Finding they were in the track of the
storm one of the boys threw himself upon the
ground in the midst Of the long grass, after
first shouting to his brother to do the same,
and chung to the ground as desperately a.
possible. Although the lower limbs Of this
boy we're repeatedly raised from the ground
by the storm, vet he escaped death or serious
injury, probably by being on the outskirts of
the cyclone. But after the storm the re-
mains of the other young man were fonnd
some distance away, not piece of clothing
of any kind remaining upon him except the
wrist-band of the shirt upon one arm. Every
bone in his body was apparently broken, and
their ends pro,ruded through the mangled
flesh of the body. The mule was also beaten
to jelly and his frame as much shattered as
that Of the boys.

are usually located ten or twelve miles apart,

A REsisrLEss WARRIOR.
The soldier hoy VINO Won the Ar
fecti0ns OF Mrs POtzIcr.

George NJ Potzler, baker, residing at
the corner of Ninth and + streets south
west, yesterday filed an application for di-
Norce from his wife, Catherine Potzler,
whom he charged in his bill with adultery
and deserton. In the ranks of the Second
Artillery, which was recently quartered at
he Washington Barracks, was a soldier
Dold, who answered TO the name of Alex
ander. Mrs Potzler one beautiful after
noon, while sitting on the bank in the
grounds overlooking the quiet Potomac,
under the shadow OF weeping willow, for
the first time caught glimpse of her gay
cavalier. Love at first sight was the re-
suit. The soldier manifested great iniatua-
ton for his new-found love, and commune
Gated his fondness at clandestine meetings.
When the orders were issued for the
troops to pack their traps and hold them
selves in readiness for change of quar-
ters to Florida, Alexander broke the news
t. his Catherine and beseeched her to ac-
company him. Thinking only of the
present, she consented, and an elopement
was arranged On the morning following
the departure of the troops, Potzler discov-
cred that the mistress of his household
had disappeared, and inquiry developed
the facts. The outraged husband was
much grieved at first, but has now deter.
mined to make their separation even more
complete, and for this reason has applied
for a divorce.

A. Bonzano of the Phoenix Bridge Com
pany of ph@nixville, Pa, which built the
elevated railroad structures, called at the
Office of Charles p. Shaw, counsel of the
New York Cable Railway Company, yes
terday, and gave an estimate Of the mate
rial that will be required to build the sew
enty miles of road which the company
proposes to construct. He said that 100000
tons of steel and iron would be required,
and that it would take two years to COM
plete the lines and that employment would
be given to 5000 men for that time. The
capital of the cable company is $42 900, 900,
and will be all expended in the work of
construction. Guy X, Pelton, president of
the Cable Railway Commission, while in
Chicago on Friday last, was told by Mr..
Holmes, president of the Cable Railway
Company of that city, that the cost for fuel
in moving $4,000 passengers on that day
was only $l6.50. The lines are ten miles
in length. The cea per day for fuel on
the thirty miles of elevated railroad in this
city is said to be not less than 81, 750.-LN.

The Queens Policy Toward Ireland

DUBLIN, July 23-Sir Charles Gavan
Duffy has written an open letter, three col
umns long, TO the Earl of Carnarvon, the
Lord Lieutenant. The letter is one
of congratulation to the viceroy for his
adoption of an admirable and upright
policy toward the Queens subjects in
Ireland. Sir Charles submits to the Lord
Lieutenant that if the Marquis of Sails
bury's Cabinet undertake to restore
Ireland's control of her own local inter
ests, and to accord her the same kind of in
dependence as that enjoyed by the British
colonies, not single Irish member in the
next Parliament will refuse to support the
programme of his government. The
restoration of the Irish legislature, Sir
Charles declares, is the only measure that
will ever succeed in rendering the Irish at
home and abroad content.
