All in search of Christmas or wedding presents will do well to visit the store of the Household Brass company, 37 Center street, and see the large line of specialties exhibited there, most of which are their own manufac- ture, thus enabling them to sell at prices sur prisingly low. All of their goods are of the best quality, and would say to avoid the crowd go early.

the jail to lock the prisoners in their

Vermilllon Republican: The Rural
Voice says that the Press and Dakotaln's
statements are not ell there Is to the
statehood movement. What then is
there to it? The Press and Dakotaian
daily labored to agitate the question and
it presented IN readible shape everything
that could be said in its favor, and ali
this was largely copied by the rural press
and in many instances commented upon
favorably. Take out what the Press and
Dakotaian had to say in regard to the
statehood project and the balance of
newspaper talk in favor of it would be a
mere shadow. The Republican is in for
giving the credit to whom it belongs,
and that is, 10 our respected Yankton
contemporary. Although differing with
it in many essential particulars to them
we freely accord that of which belongs
to them, and it was well earned, too.

He Gives His Opinion Relative 10
Sparks Characterization and Admis-
sion.
Gen. a. r. Pease, ex-senator from
Mississippi, and more recently register
of the land office at WATERFOWL, Oak,
was in st. Paul yesterday. He said that
the order of Land Commissioners Sparks
in reference to holding the patent to
land after the settler had obtained the
final certificate from the local land
agent. would work great hardship to the
settlers in Dakota as we'll as other terri.
tories, if the order was sustained by
Secretary Lamar. He thought that
such order would be oYerruled
by the secretary of the
interior. Gen. Pease said that the order
withheld such patent where the settler
had borrowed money on the land or had
mortgaged it. Such mortgages were
quite common, and il the order was sus-
tanned, it would cloud many titles to
land, create considerable trouble, upset
the Dakota market, and interfere seri-
ously with the immigration to the terri
tory. He admitted hat there was con-
siderable fraud in the entry of land,
out claimed that no such fraudulent
entries were made in Dakota.
He doubted the wisdom OF a
general order of that character, as it
worked hardship to the honest settler.
According to this idea, evidence of fraud
should be q condition precedent to such
deprivation of q government patent 10
the land. In the latter event the
parties should not only be deprived o
their land, but should also be prescott
ed for perjury in swearing to an inten-
ton Of permanent residence. He said
that the decisions Of the courts on that
question were to the effect that, after
q final certificate from the local land
agent, the government patent for the
land must issue, and the owner had the
right to mortgage the same if he so
elected.
Gen. Pease was in favor of q division
OF the territory, and thought that nearly
all the people in the southern portion of
the territory favored such division. He
had very little hopes that q division bill
would pass the lower house of congress,
but thought it possible that a compro,
mise misunderstanding the territory
as one state-would receive
the necessary votes to car
Try it through. He did not
think that such a measure would be
ratified by the people of south Dakota,
as they were strongly in favor of divi
sion and would accept no half way bill.
He thought that a compromise could be
arranged which would meet with the ap-
prevail of the residents of the southern
portion of the territory INTO two terri
tories-the admission being postponed.
He SAID that he thought the country gen
orally was agreeably surprised in Presi-
dent Cleveland's administration, but
that the democrats were still on their
good behavior. He thought that the
democratic policy would be developed
by the Observation-Disclosures or accom-
plished-during the present session of
congress, and until the development the
attitude of the administration could not
be fully comprehendad or understood.

Chicago, Jsn. 4-Charles Ell. Curtis

that he walked out on the pier and

which he was subject, fell into the lake
and was drowned. MIR. Curtis came to
Chicago in 1910, AMI was for while q

An Inventiye Geuius.

st. Louis, Jan. 4 "A resident of this

1t indicates 1t will be IN important fac.
tor IN the rapid transit problem. The
working model shows the main track
on u level and an elevated track in froot
of an elevated depot, with an inclined
track leading to it. The idea is
to start a train from
one terminus and not stop or slacken
speed until it reaches the other, and at
the same time passengers may be taken
up and discharged at any station the
train reaches on the main track. The
rear car switches off and runs us the
inclined plane to an elevated depot.
at the same time another Car runs down
another inclined plane and is caught
by the other passing train, whirled IL.
to the main track and becomes a part
OF the train. The passengers who desire
to stop at the next station
pass to the rear car
which is side-tracked as was the
previous one, and another car loao

ance which acts automatically. Wher
