Unearncd Land Earned.

The Pacific Railroad Committee and those
members who last session SO bitterly op-
posed the Northern Pacific Railroad have
just had the fact flashed up before them
that the entire work has been for naught
Early last spring bill was introduced in
the Senate to forfeit lands extending along
n seventy-fve mile branch of the road
which was uncomp.eted According TO
agreement, it was to have been finished
several years ago, and the Senate took this
as good ground for forfeiture. The bill
was finally passed after considerable warm
debate. 1t was then sent to the House and
referred to the Committee on Pacific Rail-
roads. That body reported substitute
bill, providing for the forfeiture of all
lands from Bismarck west to Puget Sound
After lengthy discussion it was passed by
small majority. In this shape it went
back to the Senate, and that body refused
to pass it. A conference committee was
then appointed, and after numerous meet
inss could not agree, and SO postponed
their work until this session. All the
while, much to the amusement of every
body, the attorney for the road was doing
nothing, and everybody thought he had

Wants to Marry a sauaw.

rather novel request was received last
Saturday at the Interior Department from
young man living in Nebraska who wants
to marry the daughter of Standing Bear, a
Sioux chief. He states who he is and in
closes photograph of the girl, who is very
nice looking, and was educated at Carlisle.
The young man, however, wishes to go and
live on the reservation with his prospective
wife and her relations, and for this reason
it was necessary to obtain the permission
of the interior Department. White men
are not allowed to stay on Indian reserva-
ton unless they have authority from the
Government to do so, and SO this Young
man was obliged to take the Government
into his confidence and reveal his love nf-
fairs. The Secretary of the Interior con-
sidered the matter from its practical rather
than its sentimental side, and concluded
that while he could not prevent the Young
man marrying the girl he could prevent
him from going to live with the old folks,
and if he was as anxious to marry the young
woman as he was supposed to be he might
scratch around and provide her with a
home. Secretary Lamar will write letter
to the ambitious lover, and while not dis
couraging the ardor Of his love will suggest
the prastical view OF the situation, which

Dakota Workers at Washington,

Dakota men at Washington, says spec.
ial from the National capital to the st.
Paul Pioneer Press, have been for several
days holding conferences over the legisla-
ton now pending before Congress for their
Territory, and are starting in to make their
campaign for the season short, sharp and
decisive. They come this year better
equipped with knowledge of men and
methods, which they did not possess last
year, and they feel much more confident in
the outlook. Division and admission they
have come to look upon as almost an utter
impossibility this year, although efforts
will be made to keep the question alive;
and, if possible, the Hill bill, with some
slight notifications, will be pushed to a
vote. In this, Dakota people will be joined
by Mr.. Hill, who will give full CO. opera
ton in any changes or notifications de-
sired. Mr.. Hill, having been defeated at
the last election in Ohio, will leave that
State for n permanent residence in Dakota.
He will aid the Dakotians on all other
| questions of interest to them likely to arise
in Congress. The bill opening a portion
of the Sioux Reservation will receive the
hardest work of the delegation, and is not
likely to meet the opposition it has in the
past. Since his return here, Wellbon. of
Texas, Chairman of the Committee on In.
dian Affairs, who opposed the bill last ses-
sion, has shown n disposition to favor the
measure, and it is understood that Dr. Sun
derland, the Presidents pastor, while still
opposed to the bill, will not make active
opposition 10 it. The johnson Boynton
crowd of Democrats who last year fought
the bill in quiet way, IRE this year urging
| its passage actively. The passage of the
ordnance credit bill, which still hangs fire,
! will be secured ut an early day, MS there is
little opposition to it, and the Territory
| will come in for some $4,000 cash, which
will be quite acceptable, it is said TO the
Territorial Treasurer. The bill providing
for two additional Judges for Dakota,
which is still hanging on the House and
Senate calendars, recommended by COM
mittees, will be urged ct once, and as it
will give the administration two additional
Territorial Offices, the Democratic support
of the bill will be generally united. There
are numerous minor matters which will
come before Congress affecting akota,
and the delegation will give these attention.
The friends of the South Dakota bill pro-
pose to urge its passage in the House ut it's
earliest possible day, and considerable
delegation from that Territory has alrea 1y
there is considerable prospect of success.

Among these are supposed to be the SUI

When the Superintendent was awakened
he called his family about him, and with
them hurried to the rear end of the cabin
where he was met by strong volume of
flame. He Immediately threw his daugh-
tiers overl oard, intending to do the same
with his wife and follow himself, but the
smoke and fame overcame him and both

The Haddock Case

1t is not positively known that the Sioux
City Haddocll murder case will come up
for trial at the January term of court.
Though the defense claims to be ready for
trial, it is asserted by those who should
know something Of the matter tnat con-
tlnuance may be had until the following
term. The German saloon element of the
city claim to be anxious that the case
against Arensdorf be disposed Of as early
as possible, feeling, no doubt, that as long
as it drags they are fighting tue Prohibi-
tionists at great disadvantage. The where
abouts of Peters, the beer-wagon driver in
Arensdorf's employ at the time of the
murder, is now said to be we'll established.
1t will be remembered that Peters has all
along been wanted as a witness, it being
claimed that he was with Arensdorf when
the SHOT was fired which killed Haddock.
For time the theory gained credence that
he had been foully disposed of, the cries of
murder" heard coming from the brewery
one night shortly after the shooting, giving
color TO the rumor that he WAS murdered

horrible manner. An explanation of these
cries is made by several parties claiming to
have been present. A horse was sick at
the brewery and the needed attention was
being given the animal by horse doctor
and several brewery employees, among them
Peters. A dispute arose between Peters
and an employee named O'Brien, which led
to hand-to- hand fight. Peters was being
badly punished, and during the row cried
murder" The next morning a policeman
saw Peters at the depot with a satchel and
two black eyes. A police officer says
Peters is now at work in a brewery in Mil
waukee, while Attorney Wood, who has
just returned from on eastern trip, says he
has located him in brewery at Toledo,
Ohio, where he was sent by Arensdorf to
keep the secret. "Bismarcks" wife, now
in San Francisco, will be brought as wit
ness to testify to statements made by
Arensdorf after the murder.

observed the movements of the men ut the
engine had timely warned his fellow pas
ssngers of what was likely to take place,
and at once there was general transfer Of
money and valuables from the men to the
ladies' on board, it being correctly presumed
that. the latter would not be searched. One
lady of Fort Worth was the custodian of
$4,000 in money and jewelry, and Mrs.
Chambers, of Pottsdnm, N. Y, took care
of $4,000 and some jewelry. Another
lady, Mrs. Wittick, of Cartilage, Mo-, arose
in the seat by her husband, and addressed
the men with the question: Are forty

knights OF Labor Meet Serious
Obstacle.

The Knights of Labor State Executive
Board, in session at Chicago OF the 18th
inst, spent considerable time considering
the outcome Of a measure which, if sue
cessful, will thwart the rapaci,y of coal
monopolies in Chicago, and pelhaps other
neighboring cities. Agents of the order
have circulated paper among commercial
and manufacturing men by which the
signers agree to buy coal of the Knights
provided the latter furnish it at rates 81 10
$3.50 per ton under those made by the
coal ring. This document has been signed
by about 1,G00 of the leading consumers of
Chicago. The Knights are relying upon
the cooperative shafts at Canelburg, Ind.
and in st. Clair County, ILL.,, purchased by
the general executive board of the Knights
last year The capacity of these mines is
10000 tons per day. All the arrangements
were made 10 begin marketing coal the 1st
inst. Only one difficulty was encountered,
but that has been insurmountable. ]; is
alleged that the Ohio and Mississippi lail-
road refuses TO carry more than one car
load per day for the knights, and the ILL
nois Central refuses to carry any coal
whatever. Evidence is now being taken
by Il special committee of the State Esecu-
tive Board concerning the conspiracy
against their mines said to exist between
railroads, coal operators and banks. The
recently elected labor representation will,
it is announced, bring evidence before the
State Legislature. Part of the evidence
consists Of aft lavits and letters. Th, adj
visibility Of taking legal measures TO com
pei the roads to carry coal is now a g1es-
ton in connection with the propris y of
seeking the forfeiture of the Illinois Gen.
