Dakota Soil.
Estelline ID. T. Bill.

A man from Illinois got on the
Northwestern train ct Estelline the
other day, and met an old, old friend
now living in Dakota.
"How's old Jim Stanford prosper
ing GU. here" asked the Illinois
man.
"Jim's gettin' along poorly, very
poorly. You see, Jim made a mis-
take, and it set him back"
How'd he make a mistaken
''Set his house on the ground with
40 underpinnin under it,"
"Well, s'posen he did, don't see
what hurt it would do"
.Of course you don't-you live in
Illinois,"
"Well, what hurt did it do9"
"Why. hang it all, pardner, this
Dakota sile is SO darned fertile that
the house took root and erowed."
'It did? Well, samittin' it's so, l
should think it would have been bet
ter; he'd had bigger house."
Eyes, that's what Jim lowed at
first. Be had nice two story, then
a three story one, and pretty soon a
five story one"
Il don't see anything bad about
that"
No, course not; but when he got
up there, instead of headin' out with
a French roof and lightnin' rod,
the blamed house took to branchin'
out with bay-winders and piazzers,
and pretty soon the whole thing,blow-
ed over, and killed a yoke of brindle
oxen for Jim. 1 tell you, you can't
build houses in Dakota without under
pinnin."

NEW YORK, March, 1.-THE Ger
man steamship Futda, Capt. Rivgk,
from Bremen, which arrived at the
bar at 5;25 p. m. to-day, reports !:
Stopped eff Fne Island March IA, at
IL :15 p. M, in order to take up the
passengers and crew of the Oregon,
and anchored at the bar off Sandy
Hook on account of low water at 6 :25
p. m. the same day. The saved OF the
Oregon are 1856 first cabin, 66 second
cabin and 3S9 steerage passengers,
and 2O5 crew. The steamer Oregon
collided with an unknown, deep-lad-
ca, three-masted schooner on the 14th
instant at 4:20 a En-, when between
Fire island and Shinnecock, striking
the stes mer on the port side immedi-
stely under the dining saloon, tearing
a hole in her side under water and she
soon after sank.
Capt. Collier of the Oregon was be-
low, the chief officer being in charge
on the bridge. One of the passengers
states that the hole was so large that
one could drive horse and wagon
through it; also, that when the yes
sells collided it sounded like the re-
port of an ordinary cannon, The
boats were, after some difficulty man
ned, and lowered into the water. The
ladies were first got into the boats
and transferred to Pilot Boat No. II
and the schooner Nanny A. Gorham,
Capt. Mahony. from Jacksonville,
for Boston. From 6 TO IL a. m. the
work of transferring the passengers
was proceeded with. All were trans
ferred in safety, not single life be-
ing lost. At Ills p. m. they were
all safely transferred to the steamer
Fulda, which owing to the state of
the tide was Obliged to anchor at
Sandy Hook at 6 30 p. m. Capt. Col
ier was the last man to leave the ship,
The steamer Oregon was built by
John Elder & Co., at Glasgow, for
the Guion line, and was launched on
June q, 1888 She arrived here on
HER INITIAL TRIP
On Oct IA, 1888, making the run from
Queenstown to New York in Z days, s
hours and 80 minutes At that time
she was the most magnificent, most
powerful and fastest of the trans-At-
lantic vessels. With the exception of
the Etrurla. of the same line, she re-
tanned record of the fastest speed.
In Augusta, 1884, she made the run
from Queenstown to New York in
days, 9 hours AID 40 minutes, this
being nearly twenty-four hours shorter
than her first trip, and the fastest then
on record. On her return trip to
Queenstown she made the run in
days, IL hours and 9 minutes. The
dimensions of the Oregon were $50
feet in length, 81 feet bredth of beam,
408 feet depth of hold and 1850 tons
grosss measurement. She was built
of iron, with nine transverse water
tight bulk-heads, five iron decks and
strong turtleback deck forward and
aft as a protection from the heavy
seas. She was fitted to accommodate
$40 salon, 80 second cabin and 1000
steerage passengers.

AN examination of u map OF the
United States will show a strip of
land several millions Of acres in ex-
tent marked "pubIic land" lying be-
tween the States of Kansas and Color
ado and Texas. This strip of country
was left out by mistake III the origin
al surveys, and is not included in any
State or Territorial jurisdiction.
Neither is it reached by the United
States law. 1t is wholly without a ju-
dicial authority, and is, consequently,
the abode of the very worst classes in
the country. Cattle thieves and Grim
inals of all kinds r.sort TO it as ref
uge, and lalely cattlemen have partly
taken possession of it to evade the ac
ton OF the President, excluding them
from the Indian Territory. There
they have established their ranches
without molcstation.

FRESH FASHION NOTES.

Red Satin rain umbrellas are the
latest Partisan novelty.
Lace and jet, jetted grenadine and
jetted etamlne will be prominent
among the seasons importations.
Costumes of blue brown, garnet and
black plain velvet, trimmed profusely
with jet, are the first choice for this
month for dressy outdoor wear.
One of the special features of the
coming season will be the use of
deep fcuncings of wool lace over
skirts of coIo,ed sgrah and faille
Francaise.
Fine corduroy is among the desir-
able materials for walking suits. 1t is
made up by itself, or in combination
with cashmere, camel's hair serge or
Irish poplin.
Ladies who like some fullness in the
backs of dresses and do not like the
feeling of the present tournure are
using skirts with several heavy ruhes
at the back. These are very stffly
starched and are lett without ironing,
the cloth beng smoothed by the
hands.
Red is shown in clear dark ruby
and some medium shades of cardinal.
A good deal of scarlet is used in mil
hnery, and full dresses of bright red
are seen, many red jackets and few
short wraps. A new caprice is short
wrap of rsd and black or red and OIL
i've chenille and braid fringe.
New lace founces, forty inches
deep, come in perpendicular stripes
running from the edge of the founce
upward and two thirds of the way
across the width. They are in some
cases very heavy, and others are very
light and delicate. Many of the deep
embroideries have merely etchings
above the rather pronounced and
heavy Egyptian edgings.
Aprons of heavy white lace inser.
tion alternating with strips of colored
cambric are very pretty and popular
the cambria strip is of the same
width as the lace, and the two are
joined by having the edge Of the
green rolled and the edge over-seam,
ed. A novalty is the use of these
strips in seersucker with Russian lace
insertion. The crinkled effect is ex.
ceedingly pretty.

A Story or the Flood.
South AbingtoR Reporter.

One of the most peculiar, and at the
same time truthful, anecdotes connec-
ted with the late hood, was related to
US by gentleman residing in a neigh
boring town. He had hen setting
on Is eggs in the cellar of his house,
and thin king the water might float
biddy off, he left mis- work and went
home to look after his hen expectation.
Upon peeripg into the cellar he found
that there was about two feet of water
IN 1t, and procuring a pair of long
legged rubber boots he explored for
the hen. With lantern in hand, he
made strict search In and about
the several apartments, but no tidings
OF the hen could be obtained. At last
he discerned biddy standing upon q
small block of wood surrounded by a
family of IL little blackeyed snow
balls. The raft was the only piece of
wood floating in the cellar, and was
only large enough to accompany this
happy family.
