D. p Wilcox is circulating to-day,
among his brother democrats, o petition
to be sent to Congressman Hill, chair
man of the committee on territories
asking for the division of Da-
kota and the admission of the,
south half. The movement originated
with the Huron democratic committee

E. r. Houlton, who has spent the
| winter at his Illinois home, does not
talk in complimentary terms Of the
weather conditions there. He says he
has sheveled now every day during the
winter and that a good portion of the
time the roads have been impossible
from mud or frozen hubs. The change
from the Illinois style of roads and side
walks to the Dakota style ls quite a
comfortable one to Mr.. Houlton.

TO stay the progress of the disease. The

livered yesterday afternoon in the high

his subjects being military Terme," and
principal Causes of the War" There
was o large number of pupils present
and o few visitors were given the privil.
sge of attending. The discourse is des-
cribed as highly entertaining in every
particular, and the remainder of the

Karr 6 kichey have received notice
of the result of the test made OF the arte.
sian well at Eft. Randall by the quarter
master at that post,andi it wasin every wa,
satisfactory. The figures as given SHOW
that the well is 6l0 feet deep with a foul
inch pipe; that it has a flow OF 600 gal
Ions of water per minute, and that the
pressure of the water j g 1910 pounds to the
squsre inch. By computation it will b
seen that this pressure would raise the
water in a four inch pipe to q height o
448 feet from the surface. This we'll !
beyond doubt the best in the territory
/, having twenty-five pounds more pres
snre than the we'll at Columbia, whicI
led up to the time water was struck a
Randall by Karr & Riohey. 1t is reason
| able to suppose that such a flow may b,
found at Yankton if the we'll is mad,
