Mrs. stanford's Benefactiom.

Washington Letter.
Mrs. Stanford, wife of Senator Stanford,
has purchased in Albany, N. Y, the old
house which her family occupied prior to
her marriage and also large piece of pro-
perty ajoining it. On this ground it is her
intention to build tire-proof building
which will afford home during the work
ing hours of the day to the children of
widows and dependent females who are
compelled to labor TOR living. 1t may be
that enough homeless women will be cared
form the institution to attend to the wants
of the children. On visit to New York
not long ago Mrs: Stanford was impressed
with the good results accomplished by an in
stitution of this kind; and. being anxious
to do some act of charity for the poor peo-
pie of her early home, she determined to
carry out this project in Albany. The
building and grounds will cost about $780,
900, and the charity will be maintained
solely at Mrs. Stanford's expense.

George Gallup, who was put under only
$500 bonds in Lincoln county for alleged
seduction of Alice Brown, secured his ponds-
men and skipped the country-no doubt the
cheapest way for him. The ofense does not
seem to be regarded as very grave one
by the authorities there.
Harry Craig, editor of the Day County
Herald was appointed clerk of the Campbell
county court. went out to look at the situa-
ton, and concluded that he preferred to stick
to his newspaper, especially as he has new
young wife, and Campbell is beyond the rail-
road limits.
The bill recently passed congress in refer
ence to Dakota insurance companies. legalizes
all those chartered by the legislature. Tne
revised statutes do not authorize territorial
legislatures to incorporate such companies,
leaving doubt as to their legality. which this
Dill relieves.

300 acres, and is owned by an Englishman
who just shipped over thirteen head of

quarantine near Boston.
Peter Wheelock who came from Vermont
TO Lincoln county l6 years ago, lately died
at the age of 81, and it is conceded that old
age was the cause of his death. This is the
only instance ever reported in Dakota OF
death from that cause.
The wife of Delegate Clifford has recently
returned from Washington very elated over
the efforts of the delegate in behalf of divls-
ion. She is very decided in the view that it
will not do to send a new man there.
The attempt to exterminate saloons in Ed
munds by force seems to be afailure. Roscoe
has three in full blast, Ipswich four, and the

them.
Some of the farmers in the South are

They claim that it does not exhaust the soil

RELICS OF BARBARIsM.
Good Friday Repentance in Mexico
-sPuni Shing the Wickedest MAN.

GOOD Friday Repentance In mexico
furnishing the Wickedest MAN.
Mexican Letter in Kansas City Times.
Once year, on Good Friday. the Mexi-
cans select victim for the whipping, and
sometimes more than one. The selection
is made by taking the worst one of the lot.
This is determined by all making confess
sion before priest of the years misdeeds,
and the one decided to be the worst sinner
is selected as sort of ''Scape-goat" to bear
the torture.
The martyr is prepared at the church by
being stripped nearly naked and by being
prayed for. Then he is made to carry
heavy cross full ten feet high, with the
cross arm of five or six feet in length, and
made of wood six to eight inches in d-
ameter. He carries this cross for consid-
cradle distance to place selected for the
purpose, where there is another larger cross
erected. Arriving at the upright cross, he
carries his cross around it and is then per-
mitted to lay it down. Here the business
takes a turn not quite so agreeable to the
candidate, for he finds crowd of wor-
shippers surrounding him. Two of these
worshippers are armed with large cactus
bushes of what is commonly called tree
cactus" or t'cane cactus" on account of its
being used to make walking sticks of. This
cactus grows to the height of three or four
feet and is armed with thousands of needle
like spines fully an inch long. The main
stalk is as large as a mans wrist at the
ground, branching off as it rises, and each
branch having many lateral branches from
g three to five inches in length, all fully armed
with needle-like thorns, which are very
poisonous, the prick causing very painful,
fostering wounds in a short time.
Selling one of these cactus bushes by the
butt. and which has been trimmed for the
purpose, two begin the ceremony by strik-
ing the candidate on the naked back and
marching him around the cross, the rest
keeping up a continuous shouting and sing
ing, with music by a sort of wind instru-
ment. Having whipped him around until
their bushes are broken up, they form
procession and march him back to the
church door, where he is stopped. Here with
sticks like laths. the adhering pieces of cac-
tus are scraped off of him and placed on the
ground in the door where he is next to enter,
walking barefoot on the pieces of cactus.
After this the victim is allowed to be taken
to his home to get well or die as the case
may be. He is not allowed to pull out the
thorns until they come out by fostering, and
it frequently occurs that six or eight months
elapSe before he RECEIVERS.
[ went to see one of these ceremonies
through curiosity, and | am not curious
enough to go to see another. The sight of
the bleeding victim, subject to torture
that far exceeds burning at the stake, is no
attraction to me. though the poor victim
never uttered single groan during all the
performance.

Always assuming that these areas were
vitalized by the construction of these great
trunk railways at cost not exceeding one
tenth of the war debt of 1914, who will
say that such scheme of extended
STATE ADMINISTRATION
might not have been in every way advan-
tageous. The ordinance of 1857 for the
government of the territory northwest of
the River Ohio, established single and
simple government over the territory now
organized as Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Hill
noiS Wisconsin and part of Minnesota
jurisdiction of 249, 345 square miles; and
now that Texas, with an area even
greater, is relieved of all pressure for the
propagandism of slavery, there are album
dant evidences that the people prefer their
present attitude upon the map of the United
States. The terms of annexation con-
coded the public lands to the state, fund
of itself sufficient for civil expenditures,
and the name Texas" has become lode
stone for the attraction of Southern immi-
grants fully as potential as Dakota" has
been upon the westward migration of
strong column seeking new homes in the
great wheat belt of North America. There
is, or soon will be. population in Texas
warranting four new state organizations,
but have no doubt if the inhabitants were
polled upon the proposition to carve out of
this New France of the continent states of
Brazos. Trinity, San Antonio or Houston.
there would be found an immense popular
majority in favor of Texas one and indi-
visible.
When we consider that four of the most
powerful railway corporations of the CONT
nent encouraged by the liberal policy of
the territorial legislature to extend their
branches in every direction, are now bind
ing closely together districts of Dakota
once widely separated; that the aggregate
of such construction for 1880 was fully 500
miles, with a prospect even more encourag-
ing for the coming year. it would seem that
the geographical extent and diversities of
Dakota can no longer present any objection
to admission as state with undiminished
boundaries. But it would be in every
sense inappropriate for me to pursue this
discussion. However it may terminate
whether on the basis of Gen. Miles sugges-
ton that the territory extending
from Minnesota to the mountains
shall take rank as five states of the federal
Union, or upon the present grand outlines
of Dakota and Montana clasped. in the
closest commercial relation by continental
railways, will, perhaps, not materially af-
feet the welfare of the millions from all
lands, whose peaceful and happy homes
are destined to make this wilderness of the
American Northland, with its magnificent
stretches north as well as south of the in
ternatiOnal border, to bud and blossom as
the rose in the ever expanding future
With the heartieSt congratulations to the
old settlers of the Red River Savannahs
