A Munchausen in Dakota.


Chicago Inter- Ocean: Some fellow
out at Sioux Falls, D.. T., who has the
capacity of a M%unchausen, wrote a letter
the other day, which was published in
the Argus of that city and then tele-
graphed all owe the country. Some
papers who haYe little regard for the
truth of what they publish in their news
columns gave it q prominent position.
1t was received in the Inter. Ocean office,
but thrown aside as unworthy of the
space 1T would occupy; but as some of
the enemies of Dakota are making an
effort to use it against the people OF
that territory, it is thought best to give
it attention.
According to this letter writer, ex-
United States Attorney Campbell, Con-
gresham Kanouse, Governor Mellette,
and other friends of the statehood
movement in Dakota are organizing o
military force in order to ENFORCE the
statehood movement in case congress
fails to admit Dakota as q state. To any
one who is acquainted with these gen.
tlemen and understands their connection
with the statehood movement, all such
talk would pass as the mere yaporings
OF some blind partisan, who desired to
defeat by Misrepresentation what he
could not by argument and truth.
Mr.. L.. d. Lyon, a prominent Dako-
taian and editor of the Watertown
Courier, who was in the CITY yesterday,
was asked what his opinion was in re-
gard to it. His reply was that it was "a
~falsehood; o lie upon its face, and ought
not to deceive anybody" he knows the
gentlemen mentioned intimately, and
says that any statement connecting
their names with 4 any such scheme
is slanderous. They are all of them
l~aw-abiding, patriotic men, who,
while they favor the statehood move
ment earnestly, will do nothing that will
ieopardize the peace and prosperity of
Dakota. He said. further, that be did
not believe hat the Argus, as was
stated in the dispatch, would vouch for
the reliability of sucha correspondent
Such things. he said, inlure Dakota In
the estimation of people at a distance,
and he believed this TO be the work. of
one Of the malicious enemies OF the
territory.

yesterday upon excellent authority that
w. d. Washburn and his railway ASSOC

land, to be used as a branch line for the
Minneapolis & Pacific, which these
gentlemen are now building northwest
from Minneapolis to the Missouri. The
Dakota Midland was formerly the Ellen

Washington, June 28-Mr. Randall
to-day introduced his tariff bill in the
house. The bill, be said, did not con-
tain anything novel or extraordinary,
and is designed to build up much need
ed industries, revive those that are Ian.
gushing and remove irregularities in
the existing law. He does not claim
that the bill is q complete or perfect
measure of tariff revision, bnt holds
that it is q decided step in the right di-
r%eotion, and a sufficient indication Of the
policy that should be pursued in re-
modelling the tariff and revenue laws.
The changes in the rates proposed are to
GO into effect on the LIST of January,
1887. The additions to the present free
list are squared timber, boards and Inn.
Der in the rough, hubs for wheels,
slaves and wood of all kinds in the
rough, jute, butts and bristles. The
present law admitting live animals i'm
ported for breeding purposes free oil
duty ia repealed.
unless congress very materially
modities the river and harbor bill it is
quite probable that tho president will
| veto it. Friends of the executive argue
that a bill making appropriations only
for works of a national character would
be approved. 1t is very doubtful if suck
q measure as this could be passed
through both houses.
Senator Van Wyok of Nebraska has
gone home for the purpose Of delivering
Fourth of July orations, and intends te
make a big job of it. He will dslive,
two on Saturday, the 3rd, one in the
morning at one town, and a second il
the afternoon at another. Sunday he
will speak a third time, and On Monday
twice more at two different places.

Our valley furnishes the several

quantities of oats annually raised
for market are ncalculable. I'm

animals kept on hand.
Our winters are frequently OF

its long and excessive severity
When a youth, he frequently met

The snow fell to such an immense
depth as to smother vast numbers
