LEXINGTON INDIGNANT.

Lexington, Mo, March 21.-At
meeting of the business mems asso-1
citation last night committee of that
organization which, with officers Of
the Missouri Pacific, had taken a
trip over the newly constructed
route of that road along the river
front with a view Of selecting site
for the depot, reported. Locating
engineer Mclaughlin stated to the
committee that the depot would be
situated just west of the foot of 10th
street, direct avenue from the levee
to the city, conditional on the city
giving the company the right-of-way
20 feet wide and 5000 feet long. Tc
do this would necessitate the con
demning of valuable residence ane
business property, and would, in ad
dition to the cost of constructing (
new public road, cost the city up
ward Of $4,000. It was, therefore
decided to declare the proposal
which was sarcastically said to be IL
keeping with the modesty Of tht
road. inpracticable. The following
was introduced:

The telephone decision had been

In the eastern financial ccntcrs there
is but little activity manifested i'm the
direction of mining investment. We
say manifested adyisedly, because while
there is no apparent movement worthy
of note, there is, nevertheless, 4 marked
u~ndercurrent setting in the direction Of
the mines Of the west. Capitalists and
investors have so often gone out with
drums beating and colors flying to
capture al attractive fortune Just within
their grasp, and returned disappointed
and detected that their tactics and
methods have been entirely changed SO
that it is difficult, from a superficial OBJ
servation. to determine, with accuracy
the condition Of affairs.
The cautious inquiry in regard t.
different sections of the country. tn,
investigation of inducements offered
more generally by personal inspection
and the preparations that are being
made, for more thorough and determin.
ed prosecution Of reliable property, al
indicate that, while the volume OF the
out going tide is q%uietcr and less demon
strative. it has lost none Of its proper.

Reports from the mining country in
dicate q general movement in the dircc
ton Of a thorough prosecution of the
work in many localities. both upon the
steady and w~ell-known producers, alsc
upon other properties known to be
valuable but idle from acknowledgement
and lack Of capital. There appears. also
to be a general feeling throughout tn,
country that q marked revival may be
anticipated during the coming season il
the direction of mining investment and
development, The conditions so far as
manifested are healthy and satisfactory
and give every evidence that this great
industry has at last reached the basis OF
substantial and permanent prosperity

An Eastern Blizzard.

New York City ana Washington were
visited on the 18th inst. by q blizzard.
in comparison with which the worst
storms experienced in Dakota during
the past winter We're comparatively
mild and commonplace. The blizzard
began with understandable fury at an
early hour on Monday morning in New
York, and by s o'clock more than a foot
of snow had fallen. High winds pre-.
vailed, piling the snow in drifts four o,
five feet high. Thousands of passengers
were blocked on the elevated railroads
unable TO get further than Sth street,
and traffic of all kinds was entirely slis-
pended. The city was practically snow
bound, people in the suburbs finding il
impossible to reach it. The cold was
intense, one woman freezing to death on
Broadway. Added to the horrors OF the
occasion was the collision Of two trains
resulting in the killing of one ofthc
engineers, and the infiction Of serious
injuries upon many of the passengers.
Every street car in New York, BROOKLYN
and Jersey City, and the elevated trains
were stopped, and the Brooklyn bridge
and ferries entirely abandoned. Tele-
graphic communication from all point,
was cut of, and the city telephone sys-
tenn totally wrecked. Drug stores were
filled all day and evening with sufferers.
seeking relief from frozen ears and feet.
The oldest residents of New York never
saw the equal ofthis storm. Navigation
was almost wholly abandoned on the
rivers and harbor. More than a hun.
dred cases of fracture Of limbs and
con'usions Of skull were reported, and
the ambulance horses at the different
hospitals were so completely tagged out
in the evening, that many cases where
relief was solicited, could not be re-
sponded to-.
The intense severity Of this storm,
intlicting as it did, such indescribable
suffering in the heart of n great city, can
scarcely be imagined. That storms of
unusual fury should be attended with
disasterous results upon the western
prairies, where the means of protection
are often inadequate, can excite little
surprise; but in a great city like New
York, where every facility would seem
to be afforded for protection against
these dire visitations, nothing short of a
storm surprising in force and fury that
Of any yet experienced in Dakota, could
have been attended with such dolful
results.

THE CAUSE OF

1t is claimed that rheumatism is
sometimes Inherited but il is more ike
ly that The persons presumed TO inherit
1t are physically constituted the anne as
their parents and naturally susceptible
toit. II children are differently con
stituted from the afflicted parent they
do not inherit it," Biliousncss is ~
much Of IN inheritance aS rheumatism,
as persons Of a bilious temperament
are most susceptible to it and they Of
course get their temperament from their
parents. Othcr authorities claims that
rheumatism is caused by the presence of
uric acid in the blood. Others to
taking cold when their is poison circu.
iating in the blood, others that it is
purely ana solely a disease of the ner-
vou system. 1t is we'll known that
when persons have acute or inlamma.
tory rheumatism the bowels are usually
constlpatcd and the urine scanty, but is
that not caused by the rheumatism
rather than the cause of it, for when
the bowels are kept open and the in
ilammation kept down, q curc is soon
produced. The Inflammation must be
kept down until the parts are restored
to healthy Condition. This is not
theory rs a great many severe cases
have been cured in that way. The in
tlammation being deep seated and
mostly in the joints, it is difficult to
reach and but few external applications
will relieve it, there is one however
that will, and that is Chamberlain's
Pain Balm, one application is usually
sufficient to relieve the pain and only
the worst cases require more than one
or two fifty cent bottles to effect a cure.
II is the most penetrating liniment
known and promptly relieves the ago.
nizinG pains both of rheumatism and
neuralgia. Whcnthe parts can be reach
ed and the Pain Balm applied directly to
the seat of pain, rs IN eases of burns
and ~toothache, it relieves instantly and
IN cases of rheumatism only a few
moments are required for its effect to
be felt. To keep the bowels open al-
ways use st. Patrick's Pills rs they arc
absorbed into the blood, act through it,
purify it and thoroughly cleanse the
whole system.

expressed himself as highly pleased
with the Springs and surroundings,
especially the mineral waters, the
medicinal qualities Of which he did not
question. Despite the unfavorable
weather during his stay here, he re-
galded the climate of the southern Hills
as much milder than that Of other por-
tions Of the territory, and thought Hot
Springs possessed many attractions not
found in other localities. Although he
vas non-committal rs to the probable
tenor Of his report, we a%pprehend that
it will be favorable to the Springs. 1t is
to be regretted that the weather was so
unfsvorable during Mr.. IIammond's

was far ahead of eastcrn Dakota weather.

The drift Of Bradley Flat correspond
ence to the Hot Springs Star, would
seem TO indicate positive dissatisfaction
with the official management Of Fail
River county. Reference is made tc
certain Irregularities upon the part o
the county commissioners, which would
seem to demand investigation. The
situation is by 10 means peculiar. The
county whose citizens are in perfect
accord with the views of its officials, is
the exception to the rule; but it must
be regarded az not n little surprising
that SO many Of the residents of that
county should haye, during the incipient
stages Of its organization, imbibed the
insane belief that its affairs could be
administed for any considerable period,
at a nominal expense.

The death Of Emperor William, of
Germany, which occurred at the inn
perial palace at Berlin on the Sth inst,
has plunged n nation in deep mourning,
and spread a mantle OF grief over Eu-
rope and America. No monarch of
modern times has been 50 universally
venerated by his subjects, or more
highly respected and admired by the
civilized world. His death was render
ed all the more deplorable in conse-
quence Of the critical condition Of the
crow prince, whose life at that time
hung upon a thread at San Reno, but
who, by the seeming interposition of
Providence, was speedily restored to an
extent rendering it possible for him to
assume the charge Of governmental
affairs. Emperor William was born
March 22d, 1897, and had at the time of
his death reached the advanced age of
nearly n~inety-one years. His reign
covered Il period of twenty-seven years.
His last words were, Alexander has
promised me that he will not make war
against u.s."

John l.. Sullivan, the worlds cham
pion of the prize ring, has met his
match at last. His bout with Charles
Mitchell, the plucky young Enslishmen,
on the 10th inst. near Cnantilly, France,
in which he utterly failed TO knock out
his man. has had tie effect of whitening
the fistic laurels upon his brow, and
RELOCATING him to a second place among
the distinguished members of the pugil-
istic profession. The contest covered a
period Of three hours and eleven min
utes, in which time thirty-nine rounds
were fought, when, in accordance with
the suggestion of the seconds, and the
consent of the principals, the fight was
declared a draw. Unbiased accounts
indicate Enthusiastically the fact that
Mitchell had the best of the fight, and
that, had it been continued to q finish
Sullivan would have been vanquished
No international contest, Of any kind OF
character in which this country has
participated, has excited SO little inter.
est; and certainly none has ever oc-
Cured where defeat was more graciously
accepted. Sullivan will now descend to
the slums, where the bent ofhis inclina-
tons are fast leading him and as he is
known to be q man devoid Of the
elements of responsibility or common
decency, it may be readily inferred hat
he has not far to fall.

Our Deadwood exchanges report that
one of the vast army Of dogs which IN
fest that place, recently inflicted serious
injuries upon a little girl by the name
of Emma Snyder, by biting her in the
calf Of the leg, while walking upon the
street. The extent Of the childs in
juries required the immediate summon
ing Of a physician, who sewed up the
ugly wound, and done what he could to
make her comfortable. The owner OF
the dog did not claim that it was the
animals first oflense, or that it was not q
fault upon the part Of the dog, but
caught him, and with an axe killed him
on the spot, a feature in connection with
the case as strange as the event is sad
1t is a notable fact that the Custer doc
is daily becoming more numerous, and
conspicuously worthless, and If by some
fortunate chance a score or more of then
should suddenly be called hence, they
would be cheerfully missed and graci
ously spared.
