from table compiled for Commits
sioner Dunlap's monthly bulletin, may
NOT Do unlnteresting to the readers of the
GLOBE, although referring chiefly to Beadle
county, the figures being for 1885 only.
Ihere were in round numbers $4,000 people
IN the country in 1885. OF these 4,437 were
under II years of age, 6,0S9 were single and
$500 married, 274 widowed and 22 divorced.
during the year there were 287 births and So
deaths The various occupations and pro-
LESSONS are represented as follows: Farm
ers, l,S23; merchants, 249; railroad employees,
2l3; professional classes, 70: teachers, 80;
laporers, l,i29. No county in the territory
ranks higher than BeadIe
IN AN EDUCATIONAL SENSE,
there being at the time the census was taken
l,U3I children in the public schools and not
al adult person who could neither read nor
write; there was only three idiotic persons and
but one deaf and dumb person in the county.
The sexes were in 1885 5,720 males and $3.50
females, but the increase in population during
the past year has been very great, and the
number or females has been augmented to
Such an extent that the sexes are rapidly be-
coming more evenly divided. From 1880 to
1888 there came into the county 4.412 females,
the wonderful increase being attributable to
the fact that the husbands, fathers, sons and
brothers came here unaccompanied by the
gentler sex, and after becoming settled sent
for their wives, mothers and sisters. In very
many instances young men who come here to
grow up with the country either returned or
sent back East for their sweethearts. At the
present rate of increase it would not be I'M
safe to predict that before the close of 1889
Beadle county's population will not fall short
OF $4,000, and it would not be surprising if
even that number is not exceeded several
thousand

expected merely to gobble up as much land

specified time, there is ''nigger in the

II the valuable franchises are to be given
away without any solicitation on the part
of the railroads, there is something wrong,

behooveth Representative Nelson and
Senator SpOoner to be sure they are right
before they go ahead any further i'll the
matter. The Sioux reservation ought to be
opened and speedily too, but it ought not to
be made a means of enrichng the rich at
the expense OF the settler and the Indian.
There is not SO much public domain to be
thrown open to settlement that the govern

accept the better par, of it by legisating it
to corporations. 1t would be well to i'll

IPSWICH, Oak, May 2S.-Sam Wunder, q
farmer living few miles north of Ipswich,
lost his house and contents by fire. His wife
and child were in the house at the time, and
in trying to save it the flames caught their
dresses, nearly burning Mrs. Wunder's
clothes from her body before she could ex-
tinguish it. Both of her hands were burned
to the hone and it was feared she would lose
them, but through the skill of the physician
it is hoped that the case will not require am
putation. AT present writing Mrs. Wunder
is in very precarious condition The

The additional advantage to stockmen is
that steers can be fattened and sold in their

The only doubt the carrying out of the

The Pierre Signal is leading Democratic
paper of the South, and takes this view: AT
the present time the Democrats will be able
to make creditable showing to the voters of
the nation if they pass the Springer bill adj
hitting Dakota as whole to statehood For
thereby they have buried party considera-
ton, done justice to Dakota. and admitted q
Republican state: given their adversaries adj
'ditional strength, and lessened their own ma.
Jority." The Signal, however, does not an
tlcipate that the Republican senate will ac-
cept this measure, as the leaders hope to
secure the lower house next time and admit
two Republican states from Dakota. The
passage of the bill by the house will satisfy
the country that the Democrats are willing to
