The vos,ibulc train Is new factor In
Western railroad transportation. IL 10
claimed for these trains that on account
of their being connected by steel hoods
all danger Of tclcscoping in case of ac-
cidcnt is removed, the train being
practically one long ear. 1t is certain
that the oscillation of the cats is greatly
reduced, and IL is also certain that the
vcstibulc trains afford the greatest COM
fort yet known 'o travellers. The adop-
ton of this style of train by the Chicago.
Santa Fe & California Railway between
Kansas City and Chicago is strong bid
for the passenger traffic between the
West and Chicago. This new road is
in many particulars ahead of any of Its
older competitors. and will undoubtedly
he tue popular road to Chicago.

About four miles above Ouray on the
Sneillcs road bloody tragedy took
place on the morning Of the 2Dth, in
which Charles Crothswaite was the as
sassin and George johnson the victim.
They had been mining partners. but
did not get along very well and johnson
left Crothswaitc. They owned cabin
together and recently johnson gave n
few parties working on the Mears toll
road permission to occupy the cabin.
Crothswaite, who was working on the
Smugpler mine in Marshal basin, upon
hearing of IL. went to the cabin to order
them out. which he did. He then went
to where johnson was stopping aud
found the lattor in bed. A dispute then
arose over the ownership Of the cabin.
and Crothswnitc pulled revolver and
shot johnson through the heart.
Crothswaitc was formerly on the edi-
torial staff of the old Denver Republi-
can, of fine appearance and about 80
years of age.

GENERAL CAMPBELL.
His Opinions 0n the State
hood Case From d Wash
ingt0n Standpoint.
Congressman Cox TO Speak FIR Di-
visioR---The Springer Bill Viii
Not Pass the House.

Washington. d. O., March 7. 1885
To the Press and Dakotaian: Here we
are, snow q foot deep. Sleighs, bells
and sleighs Colder than Winnipeg. No
green leaves, nor flowers. nor spring of
any kind. 1t makes me sigh tor the
bslmy CLINE of south Dakota.
The Sioux reservation bill passed the
house to-day-s great triumph for south
Dakota.
COX told Clifford that he would make q
speech for two states-that he Thought
we were entitled to them. If he does 30,
there are forty demooratle representa-
tives who will follow him. The Springer
omnibus bill will not pass the house.
Perhaps the Baker bill for two states
will. We are gaining friends.
Springer was much disgruntled with
the bogus construction OF the Aberdeen
convention. 1t il an open secret here
that he got up that institution.
Senator Edmunds is strongly for us, his
%spokesmen In Dakota to the contrary
notwithstanding. Senator Henderson
is fighting for us hard. Two democratic
senators stand with us. Oar cause is
away ahead OF what it was two years
since. Almost all the grest dailles are
for us, ALI we have got to do is to
stick. Springer may have it in his
power to defeat any action for two states
in the house, by delay, by virtue Of his
position as chairman Of the committee.
But he can't pass his bill. The impress
sioa is ont that there 10 Doodle and
crookednesss IN his bill.
Ordway Johnson killed himself by de-
olaring that the people Of Dakota APP
proved of the original Springer bill,
when everybody knows. even Springer
himself, that no one but q natural born
fool could approve Of it. The fact is that
Springer let johnson draft the bill and
that smart Aleck made it too salty for
even Springer himself. So he had to
amend it. A good thing happened in
the committee, which was not reported.
Johnson was denouncing the south DA.
1 NUN EtapcAOVU mOfSAGAb as uhlhWlul
and rebellious. A Michigan member in.
terrupted him by saying:
why Mr.. johnson, that was the very
same action that was taken by my own
state"
"But," says johnson, "you are not
proud of that"
"Yes sir !" replied the congressman, ]
am very proud of it, and 80 are all our
people,"
Let the weak kneed and the anti state
men put that in their pipes and smoke
it.
Whether the Baker bill passes this
session or not, all we have got to do is
to move right ahead this summer and
arouse our people to united action and
next winter we Will go in flying as two
states. Our friends say: "don't be afraid
of doing too much, Stand up for your
rights, and ne will stand up for you"
Yours Truly.
