Human Sacrifice in India.

A recent occurrence In Rajpootana shows the hold that ancient supersti- iions Stili have amoDK the natives. Some years ago the native states es Oodeypore and Tonk, with n view of simplifying thcir boundaries, ex. changed certain villages near Nee much. In this process village inhab- tied entirely by Brahmins passed from Oodeypore 10 the nawab of Tonk. This village had been granted in perpetuity to the Brahmlna by "A former maharana of Oodcypore, sub- Jcct only to the nominal annual fre Of twelve rupees for protection. After the exchange the Tonk authorities i'm. posed revenue assessment, which was raised from time to time till IL reached 500 rupees annually. Successive dep u.st!ens ei the villagers proceeded to Tonk Co lay the case before the dur bar, but without effect.
 Thcreupon the Brahmins assembled and decided by the voices of all pres ent, women as well AS men, that noth- ing was Jeff 10 move the durbar ex- cept the human sacrifice known as "Johur." Four women presented themselves as victims, but at the last moment two became frightened and withdrew. No opposition being offered, the other two went brayeiy and willingly to meet death, and were burned alive in the presence of the assembled community, their chsrred hands being afterwards carried by the villagers to Oodeyporc with demand for redress. This occurred . few weeks ago, and al midday, no Attetnpt at conceAlment being made.

DIR. THOMAS w. B1cKNE11, president
of the New England colony, out in Het-
finger county, is doing some good work
for Dakota down in New England. The
Boston Globe of the I'd inst. reports him
as appearing at the Mt. Bowdoin reading
room and lecturing on "The Resources
of Dakota" It says:
He spoke of the area of the territory.
which, it cut into sections, would make
twenty states the size of Massachusetts. or
l5O the size of Rhode Island. The terri
tory was once the bed of lake, and the
alluyial deposits are the basis OF the great
yield of wheat, corn, flax and native
grasses The alkalies-Such as magnesia,
soda, lime, potash, alumina, etc.-make
Dakota the best wheat producing country
in the world. As soon as broken, the soil
shows its adaptlOn to cultivated grasses,
cereals, all root crops, and the treeless
plains will soon be covered with heavy
forests of timber, so rapid is the growth.
In the absence of wood the people in the
western and northern sections find vast
quantities of excellent Ignite coal for fuel,
which can be supplied in the market at 81
per ton. The climate is less rigorous than
that of New England, on account of the
dryness Of the atmosphere and the great
number of clear days. The speaker closed
with an outline of the advantages of Da-
kOta as a place of residence, especially to
man engaged in agricultural pursuits.

The scheme of removing the old TO-
bacco warehouse, known as "Libby
prison" from Richmond to Chicago leads
the Minneapolis Tribune to remark, "If
the enterprising originators of the
scheme persevere in their project, let
them not forget that several tunnels go
with the building. Let them also be
brought along How about the 'rats"
and "rat hell?" Perhaps Chicago can
afford to be magnanimous and divide
these latter belongings with st. Louis as
a memorial souvenir of the two national
conventions. The illustrations in the
March Century Magazine have familiar
look even to those who have seen only
the outside of the notorious bastile, and
some of its inside history reads too much
like Russian prison life to make it pleas
ant literature.

THE GREATEST OF ALL ROOMS

The fuel gas agitation is getting Sc
rious. The testimony of Expert Jones.
published in another column. will hap
PLY surprise many people in Dakota and
some of them will be found in Bismarck.
Llgnite has never been appreciated here
until this winter, and even now its merits
are underrated by many users. It is a
fine household fuel. and the more it is
used intelligently the more it will be
praised. But it is something more. It
is gas producer of the highest type.
This quality has never been presented to
the public and never pressed by any one
IN interest 1t now appears for the rea-
son that the appliances exist that can get
the gas out in such quantities 900
feet to a ton of coal-as to make the con-
version an economical revolution and one
OF the wonders of this wonderful age.
A simple factory manned by three or
four men would make gas enough to sup
ply Bismarck. This fuel would reach al
most every house. every building that
was heated summer or winter. Every
manufacturing establishment would
have to have it. It would be SO cheap
that the humblest home would find it
economy to use it. The convenience and
slfficiency of fuel gas are as remarkable
as the subtle process that creates it. No
ash, no dust, no hauling, no shoveling
and in fact no trouble anywhere. The
same stove that heats your room can H.
Illuminate it. Heat and light from the
same source. It is about the next thing
to Old Sol himself.

HAD Emperor William of Germany
lived until the 22d of this month he
would have been 81 years old. He was
born March %, 1897. He participated in
the famous battle of Waterloo which ac-
complished the downfall of Napoleon.
King William assumed the imperial title
in 1871, after the war with France. It
was not united Germany until after the
Franco-Prussian war. It was this war
that caused all German peoples to be-
come one, united in interests and Ian
guage. Emperor William was remark
able man in many ways. He was a Cody
man, temperate in his habits, sympa-
thetic, yet firm in his convictions. The
mysterious malady which has threatened
the life of the crown prince during the
last two years doubtless hastened the
end of King William, for it is well known
that the old man fondly cherished the
idea of the German empire being ruled
over by Hohenzollern after his own
heart. and the second heir in the line of
descent does not promise this. The
young man is credited with but little
sympathy with his grandsire's policy and
schemes. King William was the idol of
his army and respected by the masses of
his people, Notwithstanding the machi-
nations of the socialists two years ago.
He died as he ived-a great mana
great soldier, yet lover of peace.

The storm in the east is serious mat
ter. The district affected is peopled by
over 2O0OO,0O0 souls. The suffering
among the poorer classes of the cities
and along the coast must have been aw-
full. The loss of life must have been
heavy. and the damage to property is
already estimated we'll up towards hum
dred millions. The dreadfulness of the
blizzard in New York city is evidenced
by the fact of actual loss of life in the
main thoroughfares and the narrow es-
cape in Union square of Roscoe Conk-
ling. one of New York's most brilliant
statesmen. This storm proves one thing
beneficial to Dakota - that the biz
zard is confined to no particular Sec
tion of the country. It is phenomena
likely to occur at any time during the
winter months in any part of the temper
ate zone. Dakota had severe blizzard
last month but 1t did not compare with
the one that swept the New England
coast this week. This storm in the east
will assist in disabusing the minds of
eastern people of existing prejudices
against the west. It is not the Dakota
blizzard any more. Comparisons will
hereafter be made with the New York
blizzard.

EDITOR MApEs of the Lakota News
is justly indignant. Some time ago his
entire plant, insured for $4,000, was
burned. The Northwestern Mutual In
surance company of Whapeton posi-
lively refuses to grant a settlement and
the case will probably be taken to the
courts. The company claims that the
policy is void because Mapes used a
straw-burning stove. Mapes has proofs,
however, to show that the fire originated
in different part of the building, and
not from the stove. The Northwestern
Mutual has been considered one of the
best insurance companies in the territory
and has usually satisfactorily adjusted
its losses. The TRIBUNE hopes that the
editor and the company will come to an
amicable settlement.

The Sioux Falls Press and other pa
pers refer to the rule of the last national
republican convention, that state
and territorial conventions to Sc
lect delegates be held sixty days
prior to the date of the national
convention, and state that if this rule is
followed in Dakota it is about time for
the republican committee to meet and
set the date of the territorial convention.
The TRIBUNE referred to this matter
some time ago and it's views have not
since been changed. The month of
April is an unseemly time for the hold
ing of territorial convention and the
small part Dakota will play in the elec-
tion of the president who will be named
at Chicago in June does not warrant any
unusual exertion on our part at this
time. Let the rule go. May or even
the 1st of June is time enough for this
convention.

DAKOTA needs two more judges. The
urgency and justice of that claim is SO
apparent that it has been supposed con-
gress would not hesitate moment in
giving the relief asked. But now comes
a letter to Judge Mcconnell, from Dele
gate Clifford, urging him to write Mr..
Springer personal letter regarding the
measure. The intimation is that Mr..
Springer has got it into his head that
one additional Judge would be enough.
This is the same Springer who has the
Dakota bologna statehood bill in
charge. Extreme partizanship might
lead congressman to father a bologna
bill, but it can hardly be possible after
all that Mr.. johnson and others have told
MIR. Springer regarding the growth and
development of Dakota that he would
oppose measure granting relief to the
judiciary.

The Yankton Press and Dakotaian
does not enthuse much over the passage
of the bill for the opening of a portion
OF the great Sioux reservation. It con
tains the submission clause, which the
P. & D. thinks is fatal to the measure.
The submission clause is clause requir.
ing the signatures of three-fourths OF the
male adult Indians of the Sioux nation
to the agreement before the measure be-
comes law. The Press says that where
so many signatures are required among
q barbarous and unreasoning people,
there is strong probability that the bill
