FIFTY MILES OF FLAME.
Prairie Fires Near Jamestown, Oak.
DO an Immense Amount of
Damage.

From Jamestown, ID H., IL is learned that
one of the most extensive prairie fires tina
ever visited that section has taken plac
there. All of the western Tart of Lamoure
county and much OF the southern and
western part of Stutsman county, were burn
ed over. The strong wind drove the flames
before it at unprecedented velocity. Inst N
COS of where the fire ran faster than horses
are narrated. Many farmers will lose every.
thing and much distress will be experience l.,
The fire seems 10 have originated in
Coteaux county, about thirty miles west
Hundreds of tons Of hay and thousands Of
bushels OF grain were destroyed. Tho fire
had been extinguished in mIny places, tut
is still raging iiercely in many directions.
Passengers on the James River Valley traa
say the prairie from Llmoure 10 within u
few miles of jamestown, n distance of f'ty
miles, was all ablaze. They could see the
burding barns, dwellings, and grain, stac IS
from the car windows Tho fire was ais
west and north Of the city. As yet no re-.
ports OF loss Of life have come in. Insult.
cient fire-breaks are the cause of loss in
many cases. The prairie grass is thick and
dry, and ordinary fire>breiks were in.
effectual in the fac, of the gale that drove
the fire on.

The third and last Of the three big days that

Change opened with intense feeling on the
part Of the trade, and much curiosity on the
part Of the public, who crowded the galleries
and the floor of the Exchange. The tap Of the

signal for wild rush in the wheat pit. Prices
opened about lc over Friday night for all

squirt of selling for 80 minutes on the belief

TERRIBLE DESTITUTION.
Indians Resort to Cannibalism to
Escape Death by Starvation.

A terrible tale of starvation and destitu-
habasca river county. 1t comes in the form
of petition to the Minister OF the Interior
for Canada, and is signed by the Anglican
Bishop for that diocese, six cergymen aud
missionaries, and several justices Of tho
peace. 1t sets out that, owing to tho
great mortality of the beavers
and other small game, the
Indians, both last winter and this summer,
have been in continual -tatc OF starvation.
They are now in complete state OF destitu
ton, and are unable TO provide themselves
with clothing, ammunition, or food for win
ter. The petition says that on account OF the
starvation and consequent cannabalism
party Of twenty.nine Indians was reduced TO
three in the winter of 1856 In the Macken
zie river district there were severa! cases Of
death by starvation and one or more Of can
na5alisn. During last winter, among the
Fort Chippewyan Indians, between twenty
and thirty starved to death, and the death
OF others was accelerated by want
OF food. Many Indians-Crees, Beavers and
Chippewyans-at almost all points where
there are missions or trading posts, would
certainly have st9rved to death but for the
help given by the traders and missionaries
mt those places. Scores Of families, having
lost their heads by starvation, nre now per-
fectly helpless and must s,arve to death or
eat one another unless help comes. The peo'

At Des Moines. a., Judge Given of the Dis
trict Court has struck another blow at the Ii,
quor sellers of Iowa. prohibtary law has
been evaded in many counties 10y sellers who
have claimed TO be agents of Chicago men
and to be selling liquor in original packages,
and several cases rgainst sucn Il, alers are in
the courts. Judge Given. whose almost uni.
form correctness in questions Ut law gives
his opinion great weight, decided IN such
cases that the right to bring liquors into the
State does not carry the right to sell indis>
criminately, and that the original package
must be d' fined as 'he package of the distil-
ler, with the Government stamp attacho |,
and cannot be construed to mean packages
put up by dealers with the express intention
