Poor Folks who Go Cleaning on the New
York Wharves for Fuel.
Among the many odd devices resOrted
to by he very poor in their efforts to
gain a livelihood is that of the peO-
! pie who frequent the various wharves
and other places where coal is trans
ferred from barges to wagons or from
wagons to c~Oal-sheds, and who eagerly
seize upon any stray pieces that may fall
UNDECIDED to the ground.
of coarse the loss in this way on each
ton of coal is scarcely noticeable, but in
the aggregate it amounts to no incOn-
siderable quantity and the aged men
and WORKOUT women who SO carefully
watch the huge coal buckets as they
swing in mid-air in their transit from
the coal barge to the wagons on the
wharf are often able thus to secure suf-
ficient of the minera. to warm their
humble homes throughout the winter.
Only those too decrepit to execute more
labOriOus work care to CLEAN coal in this
way, as they are seldom able to gather
a large enough quantity to sell. But
the activity displayed by these poor old
creatures in their eagerness to secure .
few nuggets is something remarkable.
The pursuit is not without its perils.
There is always more or less competition
for the scanty prizes that reward a long
vigil, and in order to Guido their COM
petitOrs the old cleaners often rush
recklessly between wagon wheels and
almost under horses hoOfs. Then, too,
as the big buckets swing overhead pieces
of coal are sometimes dislOdged and fall
heavily to the ground, ~endaRgering the
heads Of those beneath.
Not long since an old man was pushed
of q pier into the river and nearly
drowned through the rush for q single
lump that had attracted the attention Of
half a dozen cleaners. 1t had fallen on
the edge Of the string piece, and the old
fellow was crowded Off. Fortunately he
grabbed and held On to a rope that was
hanging from the stern of a coal barge,
and some oilers on the wharf hauled
him ashore.
The greatest danger to the cleaners
lies, however, in their reckless dives
under the wagons. The men and boys
who are engaged in loading frequently
chase the old folks away, but they return
with a persistence that defies all efforts
to save the coal and prevent accidents.

Sioux FALLS, Feb. 22.-The certainty
of Dakota's early statehood has given
marked encouragement to all lines of
business. Merchants expect bigger
trade. real estate men a boom in dirt,
farmers better crops, politicians more
offices, and everybody better times.
Few who have gone through a similar
experience can appreciate in any de-
gree the feeling of rejoicing which pre-
walls. For the last ten years Dakota has
been praying for admission to the
Union. She felt the territorial condi-
ton a burden, and she asked
chain which impeded her walking
and she asked it to be broken: cloud
over her, shutting out the sun, and she
asked that 1t be lifted. AS the years
went on and industries grew, the disad-
vantages grew in proportion, and her
uneasiness and dissatisfaction waxed
greater. Several times she was about
to grasp the golden apples, and they
turned to- ashes. Once or twice she
reached out for the sweet waters of
statehood and they disappeared. Repeat
edly she has seen the object of

her in dependency. And now when all
is settled, wien the papers for her sal
walton are sealed, signed, and practie-
ally delivered, she is almost too happy
ito rejoice. Dakota was getting cynical.
She had been mistreated so much and
so often by so many that she began to
think herself an Ishmael against whom
every mans hand was turned. But all
that is now over and she is the

MILBANK, OAK, Feb. 22.-Notwith-
standing that there has always been a
division of sentiment in this county
among both Democrats and Republi-
cans upon the question of division and
admission, the general sentiment has
been in favor of that plan which would
insure the speediest admission in some
shape. The news Of the passage of the
omnibus statehood bill was received on
Thursday ana created general enthusi-
asm. Notwithstanding the fact that

alliance and Knights of Labor are
strong in this county, and are in posi-
ton to throw the balance of power one
way or the other politically, as will best
subserve their interests.
The feature III the omnibus bill pro-
viding for new vote on the location of
capital and state offices is received with
especial satisfaction in this section.
The general sentiment in Grant county
is in favor of Watertown for the capt.
tai. Under the Sioux Falls eonstltu-
tional election a state treasurer was
chosen from Milbank; but the very
general feeling here is in favor of a
new deal on this Office. In other words,
the individual who was elected to that
Office under the old deal would not
meet with sympathetic Endorsement
now that business is meant.

Normal schools in North Dakota. it was
universally conceded that one of them

institution was needed. Since then
there have been six or eight similar
bills introduced locating the school at

to special committee consisting of all

refused TO decide it. Elliott says the

ratified and refused to make any report
for several days, and when it did come,
didn't amount to anything-in which

every one knew that compromise was
impossible. This is the way the matter
ended: The resolution mentioned above

BISMARCK. Dak.. Feb. 22.-Of course,
the evening news from Washington, re-
garding the prospects of early state
hood, is what one hears most of here
among the territorial notabes at pres
ent. With South Dakotians. discussion
Of the subject amounts to p0iitive
mania. There are number of men,
bers Of this legislature who were to
have been state and district officials,
had the Sioux Falls deal been regular
and the game allowed to proceed to
finish. Senator DolIard had lien on
the attorney generalship, Speaker Keith
would have held down clrcnit Judge
ship with honor to himself and satiSfac-
ton to everybody. and the list OF
LEGISLATORS FROM THE SOUTH
at this session would have been modi-
fed principally by additions. Natur-
ally AL these gentlemen feel sort of
possessory right, title and interest III
that constitution. but those who didn't
occupy seats on the MUSCLE vehicle that
dashed through the granlte-paved streets
of the "Queen City" at that time are
calling for another convention, and all
acknowledge that the question as to
whether the Sioux Falls constitution
will be adopted is doubtful one.
Aside from all this wind speculation,
however. the action of congress upon
the omnibus bill is having decided
effect upon pending legislation here. 1t
has surely put stopper on reckless APP
preparations. The whereas of Aiken's
resolution in the house, declaring against
the policy of endowing new institutions,
was TO the effect that division and adj
mission was almost an accomplished
fact, and should be taken into consider
alton when distributing the public funds,
and it was only after a spirited fight
that the clause prOnOunclng it wise pol
icy to provide for but one years main
tenance for those already established
Was stricken out on q close vote. The
passage of Patterns
PROHIBITION BILL
in the council was directly due to this,
so much so that the vote upon the meas
ue was mere farce. Only a day or
two before Van Osdell's high-license
bill went through, being supported by
a number of the same votes. Then,
too. although there was a great deal of
noise made and much powder burned
over the prohibitory fake, the battle
was entirely sham, for according to
the provisions of the bill it doesn't go
into effect until Jan. l. 1890, and before
that time arrives both North and South
Dakota will have decided the matter
for themselves, and even if this legis-
lature should declare against the
liquor traffic it will have no effect.
Patten wanted to have the credit of
pushing it through his branch OF the
legislature, and the boys didn't care TO
deprive him of this satisfaction when
nothing was at stake.

DEADwOOD. Feb. 22.-lf the SOlons as
Washington knew how eagerly every
item of news from that quarter was
scanned, and the Mountaineering and
pulsations caused thereby among Da7
kotans of all classes, they would not
have kept us in painful suspense so
long. But now the Black Hills region
joins in the rejoicing so general in Da-
kota over the good news from Washing
ton. The people of this part of the-ter-
ritory had really begun to fear that they
were destined to another year of wait
ing for the benefits expected to follow in
the train of statehood and the opening
of the Sioux reservation. and when
the encouraging reports from Wash
ingtOn were received they were the
more welcome that they were in meas
ure unexpected. 1t is now believed
here that South DakOta's way to admis-
sion is well prepared, and that she will
be state in truth and in fact before an
other congress will meet. In this be-
lief the people here have as much rea-
son for rejoicing as those of any other
portion of the territory. and it would be
a very poor constitution indeed they
would not be willing to ratify i'm order
to hasten the day. Expectation and
partisan enthusiasm among the Repub-
leans runs high. "What scramble
there will be for the offices when South
Dakota is admitted!'' is an expression
often heard, partly by way or anticipa-
ton, and with some

among Republicans as well as Demo-
Gratis. No one who knows anything

WATERFOWL, Feb. 22.-The most re-
liable index to the thrift, energy and
solidity of any city is the character of
it's business blocks and public build
ings. Although the tendency of all
new towns and cities is to erect struc-
lures of a cheap and temporary charac-
ter, the comparatively new cities
throughout Dakota territory are mostly
we'll supplied with buildings not only
handsome in design, butso substantial in
composition that mere cursory view
will satisfy the observer that they are
erected for permanent uses and pur-
poses. This is especially true of the
city of Watertown. Were a stranger
to form an opinion of this metropolis
not fail to be convinced that 1t is city
in which the people have confidence,
and also that, financially, its business
men are solid.
We present herewith picture of a
Watertown building which was erected
by the Dakota Loan and Trust COM
pany, in the year 1887. This structure
will compare favorably with anything
of its kind in the Northwest, and is one
of which every Dakota citizen
CAN WE'LL BE PROUD.
The building has front of so feet
inches on Oak street, and lis feet on
Kemp avenue. The principal material
used in its construction is jasper gran
lite. from the Sioux Falls uuarries.
The trimmings are of Vertie Island
(Canada) limestone; the pilasters
of st. Cloud granite, and the
pillars at the Oak street en-
trance Scotch granite. The Pipe
stone quarrieS contribute material Tor
the belt courses, window stills and arch
springers. The colors of the different
materials blend perfectly. and add
beauty to extreme solidity. The 1nte-
rior of the building is finished i'll oil
finished white oak. The basement is
occupied by L. l.. Goddard, the ener-
getic real estate dealer and proprietor
OF the Land Reporter; s. H. Ohtness,
merchant tailor: Office of the water
works company, barber shop of Joseph
German and the bargain store of j. d.

quieteSt and most potent factors was eX-
Gov. Ordway. His influence with Mr..

nearly score of years existing between

Ii has begOtten confidence in each
o her. Mr.. Ordway believes ID Springer
and Mr.. Springer believes III OrdWay,
like pair of Davids and JonathanS.
Therefore, when Gov. Ordway made
statements to Mr.. Springer concerning
t ie II cassty and ACCESSIBILITY of per-
uniting the senate amendments to pre-
vail. it counted for more thar words can
describe. 1t was in the power of Mr..
Springer, at every stage Of the proceed
lngS, to have
KILLED The BILL
by insisting upon his original provis-
ions. 1t was his disposition to fight,
and not allow his bill be picked to
pieces. He would have raised the sill
cate roof had it not been for the pacific
appeals of Gov. Ordway. Thus, in brief,
the people will see that the work Of
StaCemaklng was hot all III the hands
OF one man, either on the floor OF the
house or in the corridors and lob
bies of the marble building.
Washington territory owes an
everlasting debt OF gratitude to

great empire adjoining Minnesota, and
so soon to step into double statehood, is
not unmindful of and will not forget

also. in the past. by Day, Mccoy. Trlpp,

history must be written in many chap
