LOOK OUT FOR FIRES.

It seems the ADVANCE was in error
in announcing that the celebration in
Luverne was declared ''off' on account
of diphtheria. At least the cranky
and misanthropic Herald man says we
are Il liar, and that there is not case
Of diphtheria in Luverne or the sur
rounding country. AS to the celebra.
tion, we own up that we were mistak-
Ell. Parties who attended from this
county say there WAS 4 very creditable
celebration at Luverne. almost equal
to that at Worthington. AS to the
Herald's statement about dlphtheria,
we must say that the Herald is such
an ordinary liar that we cannot take
it's word in this matter more than in
any other. DO as we may, we cannot
break this Luverne Herald pupil of
ours Of the. habit Of lying. Still he is
young and will grow.

The Sioux Reserxation Rill.

Washington special, IA: The Dawes
bill opening the Sioux reservation was
again reported to The senate from the In
dian committee with additional amend
ments, which consist mainly in changes
in boundries, none of material conse-
quence The strip over which the
Northwestern road is given route to
the Black Hills remains the, same. In
order to give a railroad on approach to
the Missouri river, half Of township 100,
range u, in the Crow Creek reservation
is thrown open. Mr.. Dawes said to-
day: 1.-The bill is practically as it was
last winter, when it passed the senate
without opposition, The people Of
Dakota are favorable to it. The two
great railroads that want to build on
to the Black Hills are satisfied. There
is no reason why the reservation should
not be opened under this bill. tits per-
haps not the best that could be devised,
but it is the best we can expect this
session. The house will, think, con-
cur init. The-fact that no opposition
comes from Dakota leads me to this
expectation"
Judge Edgerton says: There is no
doubt-the bill will pass the house. 1t
does not deal with the Indians exactly
as they should be dealt with, nor as the
people of Dakota would wish to have
them treated, butt is all that can be
hoped for now, and as the best there is
to be had it will be thankfully re.

Negroes Going to California.

CHARLOTTE, n c., Jan. 16,-The
exodus of colored laborers from North
Carolina for points west, is beginning
to excite some interest. Charlotte is a
railroad center and it is here emigra-
tion parties are made up and railroad
agents meet to arrange for their
transportation. Not less than 5000
have left the state, mostly for Arkansas,
and Kansas, but there seems to be no
further demand for them in Kansas and
they are now going to California. Last
night seventy were turned over to the
Santa Fe Il Missouri Pacific roads for
transportation to California. This batch
OF emigrants are bound for Los
Angeles having contracted to work
in the vinyards and fields
of Edward A. Baldwin who, owns
over two million acres of land. Ac-
cording to agreement with Baldwin
through his agents before leaving here,
they are to get $l2 per month for the
first year, with board and house free.
Baldwin advanced the money to pay
their transportation to Los Angeles,
the price for each full ticket being

TROUBLE AT SIOUX FALLS
Full Particulars of the Finan-
cial Difficulties.
One National Bank Sues Another
for $4,000.

SIOUX FALLS, Oak, Jan. ia
heavy run was made on the Firs
National bank of this city, yesterday
caused by the closing Of the bank on al
attachment issued by the Sioux FALL
National because of the non-paymen1
of a check given by the cashier Of the
former bank to q. X. Howard, county
treasurer, 1t has been the genera
supposition for some time that Howard
was behind in his accounts. When the
board of county commissioners were
settling with the treasurer Wednesday
he was requested to produce the cash
balance of $4,000. Howard stated
the money was in the First National
bank where he had been depositing the
county funds for years, but that was
not satisfactory, and the board insisted
that he must bring the money to
them. WhereupOn Howard went to
and brought the $27, 600 including the
cashiers check payable to the order OF
G. X. Howard for $4,000 Howard
endorsed the check and turned it over
to the commissioners, who, instead of
going to the First National, went to
the Dakota National to deposit the
whole amount, but the check was
declined. They then went to the Sioux
Falls National where the check was
accepted, but when the cashier of
the Sioux Falls National presented the
check to the First National payment
was refused, saying Howard had drawn
on Chicago and the drafts were refused
but had been previously passed to his
credit. Whereupon the Sioux Falls
National brought suit against the
First National to recover the $4,000
and the bank was closed under attach
ment. The officers gave bonds prompt
ly and the doors were reopened in ten
minutes. The run then began and
continued through yestrday and to-day
but the bank continues to pay off and
state they have sufficient funds to tide
them over. 1t is not believed that
Howard had any such amount Of credit
at the First National but the bank
furnished Howard's bond and it is
thought the issuing of the $4,000
check was scheme to cover up the
defalcation,

"A Grow Creek Man Stands His Ground.

John Rowley, a man past the merid-
ian of life, moved with his family on to
a claim in the big bend Of the Missouri
river soon after the publication of Pres
ident Arthur's proclamation opening
the Crow Creek Reservation, and at this
time is living unmolested upon his
claim which is good one with about
forty acres of good timber on the por-
tion extending near the river. The
agent has several times ordered him off,
the Indians have threatened him, but
he does not move. They have threaten
ed to tear his house down over his head
but he tells them if they are so anxious
to get rid of him to Just move his house,
family and all, un to blunt, which is
twenty-five miles away; but, llo. they
do not want to do that as that would
put them to too much trouble. He
does not scare worth a cent and he
knows enough about law to know that
they dare not molest him, so he rests
easy upon his choice spot of earth only
few miles above Fort Thompson
where Indians are thicker than bees.
