Parlor Cars for Cattle.

The clause in the Bowen interstate
commerce bill which would compel
stock to be unloaded and fed every
twelve hours is very generally frowned
upon by stock men. But stock men
in the west are not unanimous in de-
nouncing all patent stock cars. Fine
stock shippers, especially those who
attend fairs and do not want to unload
at any or every yard, realize the me-
cessity and value of improved trans
portation for live stock. The passen-
ger who sleeps in Pullman and eats
in dining car, fares much better than
one who sits up in day car and takes
chances for meats at dingy wayside
eating houses. Just so with cattle,
especially animals making the round
of state fairs. Breeders to not like 10
have their cattle come in contact with
all kinds of stock at the public yards
and feeding places. To say that the
old-fashioned stock car is the best is
the same rs saying that the old-fash-
Toned railway coach is better than the
modern palace on wheels. The palace
stock ear will sooner or later greatly
modify live stock traffic, but the pa
tronage of stock cars should not be
made compulsory any more than the
patronage OF parlor passenger cars. II
men cannot be trusted to look after
their own interests sufficient to treat
stock humanely. then they should be
compelled to do so, but compulsory
class legislation should not be toler-
ated. The palace car inventors will
have a hard time to get their inven-
tions adopted, because they will have
to fight the stock yards, which have
feed to sell, and the railroads which
not only practically own the yards,
but have millions and millions of
money invested in the old standard
box cars.

ST. PAUL, April 14.-The news Of
the most severe cyclone in the annals
Of northwestern history has been re-
ceived here from st. Cloud and Sank
Rapids. Never was such storm
heard Of before, much less witnessed.
The wind, by the news received, has
Travelled as in spout, and carried de-
struction to everything in its course.
Never were the elements of nature
more destructful. Heaven, 1t would
appear, had sent destroying angel
down and the work was well done.
The fret intimation received of the
storm in st. Paul was by the follow
ing telegram from ST. Cloud and Sank
Rapids:
st. Cloud and Sank Rapids swept by
terrible destructive cyclone about $50
o'clock this afternoon.
The following was received at Min

That Mother-in-law.

1t seems that ever the noble red
man is not free from the trials and
tribulations of a meadlesome mother
in-law, and that the lashing tongue of
his wife's "ma" has greater terror for,
him than TIE most cruel sun dance
ever participated in by a Sioux brave.
A special dispatch to the Mitchell
Republican from Chamberlain, on
Monday last, states that at the Lower
Brule Agency, on Sunday night,
Black Horse, a young Indian, son-in
law OF Long Claws. shot himself i'm
mediately ver the heart with a rifle,
with suicidal intent. His mother-in
law had lately come to live with him
and domestic discord had made it's
appearance as a result. A hot quarrel
with his wife's mother Yesterday
resulted as stated. Black Horse is
still alive with no hope of recovery,
however,

At the residence of W. W. Norton, Kimball,
Dakota, by Rev. J. NJ. Boggs, on Tuesday, Jan.
18th, 1885, William H. Cross and Mary Butler.
Only the immediate family, rela-
tives and one or two friends of the
contracting parties were present. The
bride, a daughter of Mr.. NJ. v. But
Ter, and the groom, IAN old resident of
Kimball, are both we'll known in this
city, where their many friends join
with the GRAPHIC in wishing the
happy couple a sunny and prosperous
future.
After the ceremony all present sat
down to an elegant wedding break
fast which wos everything to be de-
sired. The presents were numerous
and tasty, among them being an ele.
giant bible from the father and moth
er of the bride this makes the sixth
bible that this estimable couple have
gwen TO their children on such an
cc~casion). The bride and groom left
on the same day on the afternoon
train, enroute to Syracuse, n. Y, and
intermediate points for a two months
trip.

A Mystery Solved.

A large excess of girl babies
among the births Of 1855, has pro-
voked some philosophical discussion.
The Milwaukee Sentinel remarks
that nature is always moved by a
high regard for the welfare of the
race, and that every phenomenon,
such as the extraordinary prevalence
of girl babies, has a worthy purpose.
The fact is, it adds, the male sex has
carried its folly so far that nature
feels outraged. We know that when
human folly had reached a certain
stage a flood came and swept the
earth clear of ,he offending race, saw
ing only a wise and virtuous Noah
and his immediate kin. So nature,
in anger and humiliation at the swal-
low-tail dress coats and plug hats and
gaudy dressing-gowns and cigarette
sucking Of these later sons, has ne.
solved upon gi:l babies chiefly.

The historian doesn't know where
this story had its actual origin, but
it was "told for true' on a recent
ocean voyage to e%nliven the company:
A gentleman who had INDUCED quite
too freely, and hadn't had the discov.
cry made for him in season to get a
carriage, was helped home by a very
good Samaritan. He was very CRATE
full in an eNhilarated way, and asked
his b~enetactor's name.
"My name?:' said the gentleman
from Samaria, "Oh, I'm st. Paul"
The iaebriate s,eadied himself by
a inal effort, and looked dreamily at
his departing friend. :
81 shay! said he. "St. Paul? Did
you ever get any answer to that id

The Artesfnn We'll,

Since the last issue of the GRAPHIC
about one-third more water has been
obtained at the artesian well. The
well is now about 1910 feet in depth;
and further progress has been for the
present stopped, awaiting the arrival
of Mr.. Gray, the contractor, from
Milwaukee, whom it is expected will
be here to-day Or tomorrow. 10000
barrels per day is a safe estimate of
the amount of the flow from the well
at the present time. TO satisfy curl
osity the Fire Department on We'd
nesday got out the hose cart and
made connections at the well. While
the pressure is not such as to afford a
tirst-class fire protection, it is sufficient
to throw a good stream of water on
to any building in town, and with
proper mains, hydrants ETC., the well
will give the hand fire engine points
and beat it..badly.
