Death of Cen. John A. Logan.

WASHINGTON, December 25.-Gen. Jno.
A. Logan is dangerously sick. A reporter
who called at Calumet place at midnight
was told that the senator was thought TO
be slightly better, seeming to have i'm
proved little in strength and less inclined
to stupor. DR.. Hamilton and Representa-

gan's bedside during the night.
WASHINGTON, December 26.-Gen. Jno.
A. Logan died at 8 p. m. to-d:y.
The immediate cause of G "a. Logan's
death was an attack of rheurss ism con-
tracted about a fortnight ago during a
snow storm The seeds Of the disease
were sown in his system during the war,
on a days march in q binding snow
storm. That was the first attack and ever
afterwards he had to guard himself against
it. He had been dangerously sick for sew
eral days, but his true condition was not
knows4 to the public. He died surrounded
by family and friends, and the death-bed
scene Is described as having been one OF
the saddest that could be imagined. His
devoted wife was with him night and day
and her arms were about his neck when
he died. 8E

Mysterious Disappearance.

About four months ago Jacob Peterntan,
who has a ranch on the Teton some miles
above town, returned from the railroad.
where he had been at work, to hunt up his
horses which had strayed away and, as he
believed, had returned to the vicinity Of
the ranch. He borrowed horse from
John S. Galbraith TO go out and search for
the lost animals and started forth, since
which time not word has been heard Of
linn. Mr.. Gaibraith is out q horse, saddle
and bride and in all this time has NOS
heard the first word as to their whereabouts.
II il NOT st ali likely that Peterman skip
led OUT because he left horses Of his own
and other property at the ranch, Of much
greater value than the horse and outfit
taken from Galbraith. The neighbors can
lot account.for his continued disappear
Iance except upon the theory that he naet
the fate Of Hunt-has been killed by In
sdIals and his horse taken from him. n
is difficult to account for his abscence By
any other theory.

ST. Paul, March 3.-Hugh Sutherland
member Of the Canadian House Of Com.
mon aud president Of the Hudson Bay
railroad Yves at the Ryan today. He is
on his way to England to complete the
details Of q contract that is already let
for building the Hudson Bay railroad.
The line is to be 240 miles In length and
connects the waters of Lake Winnipeg
and Hudson Bay. The work will com.
mence at once. A syndicate of English
capitalists is ready to put on q line Of
steamers from the Hudson Bay terminus
to Liverpool. MI. Sutherland says
that st. Paul is the centre of the east
and west routes to England and will be
placed in q position to command the
lowest rates. The wealth of the north
west will use St. Paul as its distributing
point. The new line has 1900 miles
less railroad to haul than any other
that can be built. Dir. Sutherland fur
Their said this route would be open all
the year round, other reports to the
contrary notwithstanding. Besides the
1900 miles shorter road haul this new
route is 400 miles shorter to Liverpool
by water than from New York or Mon.

to revolutionize the foreign traffic and

refers to Kernal Steele, who is engaged

school section in Kidder county. The
uncomplimentary portion refers to
about 'one.half the newspaper editors

gentleman is based wholly upon exte-
rior appearances. The loud and gaudy
apparel worn by the Kidder county boss
and the gorgeous diamond breast pin IN
his shirt front are sufficient evidences to
Murphy's mind, that Steele is a gentle
man. Murphy's judgment on the SUBJ

as intense as his conception Of the ques-
ton Of gentility. One thing Murphy
has to recommend him, however, and
that is his grammar. Hear HIM
