w ATER TOWN.
A Big Budget from the Garden City
of Dakota.

Special to the Globe.
WATERFOWL, May 7.-Watertown puts on
no metropolitan airs as yet, but is destined to
become one of the foremost cities of South
Dakota, situated on a level plain in the Sioux
valley, and surrounded by farming country
of great fertility and beauty, it is well enti-
tied to the name of the Garden City of the
territory. The buildings and general improve
ments which are being pushed forward this
year indicate that q larger and more subStan-
tial growth will be made than has been made
in any one year in the history of the
city. About sixty buildings have already
been erected and most of them are nearing
completion. Mr.. j. c. Mulholand is about to
begin the construction of three-story hotel
on Maple street. w. NJ. Savage, the hard
ware man, is erecting a large store building
on Oak street. The residences which are be-
ing built vary in cost from 81, 500 to 81, 500
The visitor to Watertown is struck with the
architectural beauty of the dwellings and of
the pride and taste exhibited by their owners
The court house is building of
fine appearance, two stories in height,
built of brick, and surmounted by
a handsome town. A number of fine stock
farms in the vicinity of the city indicate that
the farming community does not contine it's
attention entirely to the production of grain.
At evening the traveller can hear the lowing of
herds, the tinkle Of bells, and the happy song
OF the shepherd. IS. b. Bevans, special
Watertown is making things lively for fraud
ulent claimants. He seems to feel friendly
toward those who make an honest
effort to comply with the laws and
fail through inability Or lack of knowledge
but he said to GLOBE representative to-day
that those who willfully and fraudulent ly
violated the requirements of the law were
not t o be tolerated. He also said that much
of the trouble concerning claims arose from
the advice of incompetent lawyers that the
land difficulty would never be satisfactorily
settled until the department insists upon u
rigid enforcement of the rules in regard to
the final examination of the claimants
The Watertown, Duluth Il Pacific
railway, which is to extend from
Morris to some point on the Missouri river,
may be counted on as certainty. This road
will be built by English capitalists, and the
principal engineer is Col. Cook Talcott of New
York. &C. N. Keith, formerly of Mellette,
Sphinx county, is erecting number of dwell
ings in WATERFOWL, containing ten rooms
each, most OF which will be finished by Aug.
L.. H. Park & Co., formerly of Red Wing,
Mimi, are carrying quite an extensive
wholesale grocery trade. The excellent rail-
road advantages of WATERFOWL make it 81
good point for jobbing. w. ID. Morris, Esq,
of the Citizens National bank, seems to have
the most sanguine hopes of the future OF
Watertown, and is investing quite largely in
town lots. He is one of the most promising
young business men in the territory.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May r. One of the
strange characters from DakOta4 is Moses
Wiel. He is, as his name indicates, one of
the B'nai Yisrael, or children of Israel. He
is not a Dakotian, in onesssense, for he is a
cosmopolite. The world is his home, and
the people in it are his victims. He does
not sell ''Old clOdingS." but he is peripa-
tetic vendor of Eyeglasses. He says that
he has walked over the greater part of the
territory, as well as followed the lines of
rail traffic, and that he has sold glasses to
| some people in nearly every town in the
empire. He is here now, and last night
told of his peculiar experiences in govern
ment office. He was appointed to clerk
ship i'll the war department under the SpOilS
system. He tried to learn the business,
but failed. He says:

He then went on to tell how he has since
gathered shekels from the department en-
ployeS. He goes around the Offices and
looks up the men who wear eye glasses and
sells goods to them on credit. He always
has to wait on the clerks from two weeks
to a month. One man, he says, is paying
him 10 cents every pay day on a pair of 50
glasses. He has had all sorts of experiences
as money getter, penny at time, and
they are interesting to hear, although they
might not be Of interest to read. He says
that when he gets enough money to start a
pawn shop. real fine store NIT bIenty
moneys to buy efery dings," he intends to
go to Fargo and go into beesniss. He re-
CARDS that as the greatest business place in
the territory. Huron, Pierre and several
other big young cities have grown up since

Bold Attempt at Abduction.

CLEVELAND, Jan. Pa sensational abduc-
ton case was reported to the police this evening.
Miss Tillie Munkerman. aged twenty. whose
home is in Royalton, small village near here,
has been visiting her sister in the city for q
short time. Or last Thursday evening she started
on an errand. She had gone only few steps
from her house, when, in passing through the
shadow of building, she was suddenly seized by
two men, one white and the other colored, bound
and gagged. and placed in buggy near at hand.
The horse was driven rapidly away, and no sooner
had it started than she was chloroformed. She
soon lost consciousness, and remained insensible
for some time Finally she heard the men
talking about going into saloon, before
which the horses had stopped. She re-
manned quiet, and they, not knowing that she
had recovered consciousness, entered the saloon.
No sooner had they left the buggy than she
jumped out, and ran away as best she could
She was mile away from her sisters house. and
was taken home by a gentleman from whom she
asked protection. The young lady refused to
talk about the affair for publication. The de-
tectives are at work on the case. It is asserted
that young man in Royalton had written COM
promising letters to Miss Munkerman, and, as
prosecution had been threatened, it is surmised
that he had something to do with the abduc-
ton.
