WASHINGTON. March 16.-Sioux Falls,
and the other aspirants for slice from
the treasury for public buildings, will
not be gratined. 1t is conceded by all
but the most enthusiastic, that BANDS
opposition to the wholesale grabbing
which has been going ON, will prove an
effectual bar to many places. The COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds,
has already ground out many millions
of appropriations, but their liberality is
estopped by the determined fight of the
Missourian. Mr.. Bland had a good pub
lie building put up in his district, at
Springfield, which is good wide place
on country road in Missouri; and now
he opposes all other public buildings.
People may call him crank, obstruc-
ZIONIST, and migrate; it is not unlikely
that he is all of these things combined.
But he is, nevertheless, able, by adr0it
parliamentary management under the
rules Of the house, to defeat all legisla-
ton of that character. Therefore, all
but enthusiastic and tireless Frank Pet
tigrew, have given up their dreams of
success for public buildings in the terri
tory. Men will sometimes stand to-

Want to Move to jamestown

JAMESTOWN, March 16.-There is con.

of the Brotherhood lodge from Fargo ia

when the railroad headquarters were al

quarters have come to Jamestown, and

hardly square to compel a man whose

Minnewauk0n or Cakes, to go clear to
Fargo-the end of the division-to at,

when no one in particular is benefited

during the present session there has
been another potent influence exercised
with the senator. Probably no man In

than Hon. n. &. Ordway. Upon. him
the senator looks as a man of dis
tinguished ability and fairness. Their
acquaintance extends back more than
quarter of century. Consequently,
when Mr.. Ordway interested himself IN
the matter and made statements of fact
to the senator, they had great weight.
II should be gratefully remembered,
also that at critical juncture in the
house, when the bill was being consld-

Hon. Samuel j. Randall arose and in
brief and forcble speech threw his in

be regarded as settled and fixed fact
that the reservation will be opened.

THE HOME OF JUDGE MILLER
As Representative of the Cosy Beau
tiful Rather Than the Costly
Grand.

There is no word in the English Ian
guage that has more romance weaved in
and around it than the simple little one
syllabled word of home. Alike dear to
the rich and poor, the old and young, ,all
and everybody are attracted by any
thing having reference to home. The
ambition of the young is to make one;
the ambition of the aged is to stay as
long as possible by the old familiar
hearthstone. In one of the great Lon
don journals of to-day, an interesting
feature has been a series of splendid
articles accompanied by beautiful illus
tratlonS, descriptive of some of the fa-
nous homes of Merrie England, and
also of the rare and costly objects of
virtue and paintings those homes con-
tain. While this is very interesting to
read in the same manner that good
novel OF sketch is, Of course it lacks the
spice and relish given by local associa-
ton to those so far removed from the
hauntS of KenilwOrth, CIeveden,
and Hadfield house as MinneSotians are.
Minneapolis is not lacking, however, in
beautiful homes and among the many
hundreds of substantial and comfOrta-
BILE residences here there are many
whose owners have gone step farther
and made their houses perfect palaces
of culture and refinement, in fact mod
els (as what home can be turned into)

to the breeZier WeSterners.
A peculiarly pretty and happily situ-
ated home among local ones is that of
John nj. Miller, the well-knOWn law

Harmon place, a fashionable thorough
fare and popular as driveway, where
it gently slopes up from the lake in Cen

There is, however, something very
attractive in the building, something
delicious III the creamy tone of the
white stone and the dazzling brightness
of the large plate glass in the windows
that has won for it the admiration of all

OF domesticity. On the ground floor is

has collected rare collection of vol
umes, the majority of them bearing on
the profession to which he belongs. Up

AN OVERSIGHT.

A Failure to Cut the Coupons on
the City Bonds for Park Pur-s
poses.
Mayor Ames remarked last night it
had come to his notice that when cer-
tain bonds were given, to the amount of.
s25, 600, for the purchase of the Knowl-;
ton tract for park purposes, the interest
bearing coupons to Jan. 1, 1888. had not
been detached. The bonds had been
negotiated in the East, but the payment
on the coupons had been stopped by
telegraph and the bonds re
turned to Minneapolis and depos-t
tied with the Northwestern bank.
These coupons draw interest at AZ per
cent, and the amount of interest for a
year would thus be over 81, ,l0O. He con-
sidered that the failure Ito detach the
coupons was due to Ian oversight of
Messrs. E. NJ. Wilson and c. M. Loring,
OF the finance committee, and while
evidently unintentionab was a piece of
carelessness. which, If committed by
city employe, would raise storm. The
matter will probably be Strengthened up
on the return of these gentlemen. The
city will not be the loser in any event.

sCARE-CROWS FOR DEMONS

Queer Fetiches Cherished and
WOrshiped by the Congo Ne
grOes.
Every Congo negro carries M'kissi
upon himself, and there may be thou
sands of kinds of them that escape the
eyes OF the white man. The N'ganga,
or mediciue man, is usually the fabri-
cant of the fetch, and whatever he finds
good to impose upon his simple-minded,
credulOus brethren for high price,
sewed up in cloth or leather or enclosed
i'll goats horn, is dOubly valuable in
the eyes of its new pOSSeSSOr because he
believes that his NJ 'kisSi stands in per-
SOnal relation to himself, and he cannot
be induced to give 1t up to white man
for any price.
Among these amuletS are dried
snakes and lizards heads, little pieces
of skin, feathers of certain birds and
parts of known poison plants. The eye
teeth of IeOpardS are an exceedingly
valuable fetch on the KrOO coasts, and
it is easy to buy with them articles of
vastly more value, like ivory rings, etc.
The Kabinda negroes wear little
brown shell, very much like our Lin
n8us, ON their necks. The shells are
sealed with wax, and are made, perhaps,
vessels containing magic medicines.
The large snail shells found in the cas-
sava or maniOc fields OH the Kuilu
Niadi are also M'kisSi, and set in the
fields by the women who till them to
protect the plantations. One of the
chiefs in the Upper Kuilu Niadi, in
N'kuangita, has a M'kissi against the
tornado. 1t is an antelope horn. On
the approach of a storm the king calls
his people together; the horn is stuck
in the ground and a dance is begun
around it, which is kept up, in spite of
wind and storm, till the tornado is over.
Every house in the village has its
M'kissi; they are frequently put over
the door or brought inside, and then
they protect the house from fire and
robbery. These penates of the negroes
are sometimes figures very artistically
cut in wood or ivory, and show GER
tain degree of native skill and taste in
the people. But it is not the guardians
of his house only that the negro thus
represents in material figures. He also
gives corporeal form to diseases like
smallpox and fever. Every town has its
war fetch.
The hyph9ne palm tree on the Kuilu
shows how the negro sees a spirit at
work in the wonders of nature which he
cannot explain. The tree was M'kissi
to the whole village. Good medicines,
with which the negroes are acquainted,
or of which they experience the salu-
tary effect, are also called M'kiSSi. A
negro called dose Of castor oil which

of Lord Sandwich, an English aristo-

the rink last Tuesday night. He trac-
ed the tariff system, with all its rela-
tions to the two parties, from away
back.
He held the attention for about two
hours. Mr.. Elkins does not lay claim
to great oratorical powers, not even
to silver tongue, but his arguments
are convincing and his logic unques'
toned.
At the close of Mr.. Elkins remarks,
Mr. Flick was called for. He made a
few remarks, then proposed three
cheers for Mr.. Elkins, which was
given heartily, followed by three
cheers for Flick.
The Glee Club furnished the music
and was loudly applauded.
In his speech last Monday night,
Mr.. Walker was giving the increase
of votes in the counties under Demo
cratic rule. We wonder if the Flick
Amendment did not have good
deal to do with the increase of voters
The attitude of the Democrats is
just about that of the poll parrot
which in all times, places, and kinds
of weather, increasingly screams-the
Tariff is tax. That's all it has been
taught to say.
