Lake, and ordered Sheriff Newly to
open his first term of court. We re-
member the surprise to all when the
Judge requested attention while Rev.
Robinson would offer prayer. For the
first time in the history of Dakota
courts the blessing of Deity was to be
invoked. Novel and striking as this
new feature was, the look Of surprise
gave way to one of solemnity and
reverence as the brief appeal to the
Supreme Judge of all was made.
Four years ago to a day since the de-
but, and each one fraught with per
pleXities and hard work, that the acts
and brain of men combine to test the
skill and calibre of a jurist. The
Judge steps gracefully down and out,
leavinga record as a Judge and up
right man that would belittle no man
to follow, and when this contemplate
territorial yassalage is lifted and men
can exercise their rights, G. S. Palmer
will not be forgotten in the call for the
front.

EDITOR ADvOCATE:-On the evening
of the 2lst news was received of the
passage of the Dawes bill by the senate.
| In short time the Chamberlain Silver
Band were out in full force, a line of
! march was formed along the
principal streets, and by this time the
streets were swarming with men, wo-
| men and children. On every square a
huge bonfire was burning; sky rockets
of all kinds Illuminated the heavens,
and one hundred guns were fired by the
artillery brigade At this time the
head Of the column halted on Main and
Railroad streets, where an impromptu
platform was erected, and eloquent
speeches were delivered by Gen. w. V.
Lucas, Hon. J. NJ. Greene, Dr. Duncan
and others. thanking our delegation in
Washington for the arduous and effect
i've work performed this winter. The
widest excitement prevailed. We have
two trains daily from the east which
already are bringing large numbers of
strangers 10 our city. Rents of store
and dwellings have nearly doubled, and
nearly all have been rented by the early
birds who arrived principally from
Mitchell and towns this side. The
lumber men have child like and bland
smile as they can now see their road to
fortune. Seven car loads are arriving
daily. The next day after the opening
several claims were jumped on this side
Of the river on Crow Greek, but accord
ing to the bill they have to get when
the proper time comes. | know of sew
eral WHO jumped claims the past three
years. Some have broke as high as 100 |
acres and put on other improvements, |
but the bill says the original settler has
ninety days to get back on the claim. |
One of the amendments to the Peel |
bill says the Crow Creek and Winnie |
bago lands are to be settled up the |
same as the Big Sioux lands, viz: resi- |
dence of four years at fifty cents per
acre, and only the homestead right can
be applied. That amendment gives |
universal satisfaction to the citizens of |
Chamberlain, as it insures a bona fide |
settlement and cuts off the speculators. |

Snow to the depth of six inches fell

Dakota Huronite: The Huronite

The Burlington, Cedar Rapids and

of keeping abreast of the spirit of the

II1E CYNN EI,E(TIOE.

The citizens caucus at the court
house last Saturday evening was a
genuine circus. Motions to adjourn
were introduced at regular intervals,
and the caucus finally adjourned, with
out date, before the ticket was COM
pleted. The room was jammed full
to oyeriio wing, aud about half the yot-
ers of the city were unable to get Ill
side. Those on the inside, however,
balloted industriously for several hours
and would have been voting yet but
for the persistency of the republican
element opposed to the "citizens' idea,
who finally brought the show to a halt.
The caucus was called to order by
J. NJ, Lewis, chairman of the county
democratic central committee. O. N.
Russell was chosen chairman and A..
R. Brown secretary. Some of the
nominations were made by ACCLAIM
alton, under suspension Of the rules,
and others were made by ballot. The
following ticket was placed in nomi-
nation:
Mayor-J. P. Hawn.
Aldermen-T. p. Thompson, NJ. L,
Syvcrud, Joel Hewitt, |. N. Martin,
ID. Slack.
Clerk-Geo. Olson.
Justice-O. N. Russell.
Treasurer-J. H. Gale.
Attorney-T. W. Miller.
Assessor NJ. Cuppett.
The vote on street commissioner
showed about a hundred more ballots
than there were votes in the room, and
before another ballot could be taken,
or the ticket finished, a motion TO ad-
journ was carried.
There will be several tickets in the
field next Monday, and at this writing
no one can predict the outcome. Di-
viding the city into four wards, as has
been proposed, would give the south
west corner three out of five aldermen,
or, four west of Main street. The
whole eastern portion of the city, CON-
mencing at the east side of Main and
representing the bulk Of the popula-
ton, has one out of five aldermen, un-
der the caucus selection. Better judg-
ment will prevail on election day, and
the selection of aldermen will be made
more in accordance with the rights of
various localities and certain business
interests.

A New Process for Saving Labor.

A good many compounds have been
invented to reduce the labor of the
washerwoman, says the Pittsburg
Chronicle Telegraph, but the insupera-
bic objection to most of them is that
they rot the fiber of the cloth subjected
to their action, and in the long run
"cost more than they come to-" 1t is
good news for hOusekeepers that wash
ing can be made easy without detri-
ment to the fabric-not only that, but
that the garments can be brought to a
pure white impossible under the ordi-
nary manipulation at an insignificant
cost in money and with a remarkable
saving of labor.
The new process was discovered by
a well-knoWn gentleman of Pittsburg,
who is too modest to have his name
paraded before the public, and who
has no desire to make money out of
his new method. He says that if any
one who has moderate-sized washing
say for family of four or five per-
sons-will put the clothes TO soak over
night as usual, and add to the water a
half teacupful of pure berzine, and
then when they are put on to boil add
another half teacupful of the benzine
to the water in the boiler, the dirt can
be removed from them with very little
rubbing. the labor of the laundress
will be reduced one-half, and the
clothes will be as white as they can be
made. Some may object to the smell
of the benzine, but he says that all dis
appears by evaporation in the process
of boiling. Benzine sells for few
cents quart, and it is said a pint of
the fluid will do for two large wash
ln0S
