THE DAKOTA RUMPUS.

BISMARCK, D. T., Feb.9.-The war be-
tween the governor and legislature goes
on steadily. Three more vetoes were sent to
the legislature yesterday, to be later
passed over the veto by large votes. One
of these vetoed bills covered the main
point of the fight between Governor
Church and the legislators. 1t was
charged that he was converting to his
own use the money accruing from the
appointment of notaries public. He
claimed that this was for clerk hire,
and vetoed the bill taking the nouarial
feet away from him. 1t was then shown
that 81, 500 was regularly appropriated for
his use in the payment of clerical help and
this bill Will undoubtedly be passed over
his head. In his veto Governor Church
said that money was given his predeces-
sors for this purpose and a careful investi-
cation of the books reveal the fact that all
sums referred to by him had been appro-
prated and used for other purposes. How
long the fight will last and what will be
the result cannot be predicted.

BRADSTREETS REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9-Bradstreet's, In it's
review of the week, says: special tele-
grams to Bradstreet's show moderate gains
in the movement of general merchandise
at Kansas City, New Orleans, St Louis
Boston, Chicago and San Francisco,
though no great activity is noted at them.
Lower temperature of the week has had
a good influence on the sale of seasonable
goods. Jobbers are not specially
inclined to add to their stocks in any line.
Boots and shoes, provisions, dry goods and
agricultural implements at western cen
tiers have been in relatively most active re-
quest At other centers, other than these
noted, the trade in general is dull or quiet.
The colder weather in the east has not
favorably influenced building material
markets. General trade at New York is fair
to active Groceries are in increased dis
tribution. as is also rye whisky, which is
higher. Furniture and paints. paper and
cigar manufacturers are reporsed active
Local trade in paper and wool is quiet.
The cold snap has interfered with building
operations and depressed the de-
mand for building material Large
stocks of fruit, coal and manufactured
rubber goods depress trade in above lines
Business failures reported to Bradstreet's
number PCS in the United States this week,
AGAINST 294 last week and 254 this week last
year. Canada had 46 this week against 53
last week. The total failures in the United
States, January to date is 1871, against
1855 in 1885"

A PARTING VISIT.
A Touching Farewell Paid General Harri-
son by the Tippecanoe Club.

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. AT o'clock this
afternoon, over 100 members of the Marion
County Tippecanoe club called on General
Harrison and presented him with the
costly and elegant bible purchased by the
club some time ago. Rev. DR.. Henry Day
made brief presentation speech. During
its delivery the most impressive silence
prevailed, and many of the old veterans
were moved to tears. General Harrison
was very noticeably affected, and after a
moments silence he responded as follows:
CDR. Day and my venerable friends
Since the organization of this club in 1886
you have given me very many evidences OF
your respect and very many of your affec-
fectionate regard. You have witnessed to
me not only your. confidence in
duty, but you have that l had
ais an affectionate place in the
personal regard OF each of you, but of all
of these evidences, this parting visit and
this precious and suggestive gift is the
crown. l shall presently cease to be your
neighbor for time and those years,
though not many, will not improbably
into whose face l now look. This
parting is to me full of pathos. The occa-
sion is too solemn and too touching for
speech. But the bright day without gives
testimony that even winter days may be
genial and full of sunshine; and this,
hope, has been and will be realized by
every one of you. l shall lean
upon you and upon that great company of
urpatriotic and God-fearing people whom
you represent. l cannot hope to escape
just criticism In the discharge of the enor-
nous and complicated duties which are
soon to be devolved upon me, but hope
that | shall escape fatal error, and that it
will appear, when my inadequate and brief
work is done that have set before me as
the pole star of public life, patriotic pur-
pose TO promote the true glory of our
country and the higest good of our people
'God bless you, every one, may the con-
solutions of this holy book fill your lives
with peace and make the last the best day
of all your honorable lives"
At the conclusion of the generals touch
ing words the veterans, many of them
trembling with emotion, passed along and
clasping the generals hand in silence took
their leave

GERMAN GOSSIP.

Copyright 1889 by the New York Associated Press
BERLIN, Feb. Sin the lower house OF
the Prussian diet today the emperor's
civil list bill passed the second reading
after debate in which the progressists
emphatically protested against the in
creasing of the imperial allowance by
8, 500, 600 marks. The minority had diff

imperial family was already enormous, the
emperor having at his own disposal not
only his revenue of l .325, 600 marks but
also other resources from his family do
mains. The hofkammer which admin
listers the domains, is charged with
the care of the crown ed1hces. Tor
ests and lands and the collection OF
rents. The forest districts alone cover
157 600 morgen or 1880 hsctars. The
farm lands are SO extensive as to require
division into seventy-seven stewardsh1ps,
each comprising number of farms. Fur
Their, the minister of the royal household
has charge of revenues of four selgnorles
comprising other extensive domains and
farms. The supporters of the bill lnclud-
ed all members OF government groups.
They could not show any necessity for the
increase of the imperial income. They
rested their demand upon the argument
that as the emperor's functions and work
were increasing his revenue ought to be
enlarged. The emperor. who took
personal interest in their progress
of the measure received a telegram an
nouucing there was sent to him at Pots
dam photograph taken as he was pre-
senting flag of streamers to the nrst
regiment of foot guards.
The temper of the government majority
is such that it would have given much
larger sum if required.

weather the ear truble has been aggre-
waited. DR.. Bergman has been ESPECIALLY
summoned three times this week. The
constantly recurring ear aches do not
prevent the emDeror's incessant pur-
suit of work. He rises at 5
o'clock. If he is unable to
sleep, during the night he always goes on
with his work. He has pencil and paper
in reach, near the bed. The princes are
aroused at 6 O'Clock, when they take a
cold bath. They often breakfast with
their father at $50, and their lessons begin
at o'clock.
Both the emperor and Prince Bismarck
have held long conference with Lord
Charles Beresford, and the emperor has
given him and the chiefs of the German
navy banquet. During the interview
the conversation turned upon England's
state of preparation for war against the
combined naval forces of France and Rus
STA. Prince Bismarck, it is reported,
advised Lord Charles that an
Anglo French war was nearly
as possible as one between France and
Germany, and that if the Boulanger
cliques saw possibility of beating Eng
land by sudden attack, they would pre-
fer the risk to taking the chances of the
terrible results of defeat by Germany.
Prince Bismarck declared his readiness
to conclude defensive alliance with Eng
land He told Beresford to strongly rep
resent to his government the urgent ne
cessity that England should put her house
in order

M,MllLAN AND THE CABINET.

DETROIT, Feb 9.-Last week Senator
elect Mcmillan received from President
elect Harrison an invitation to visit HIM
this week. The visit was made yesterday.
Mr. Mcmillan returned home early this
morning and soon after was closeted with
General Alger. The latter was seen soon
after the conference ended. Il am not at
liberty" he said, Ito say anything about
Mr. McMillan's conversation with General
Harrison. So far as | know l am at peace
with all the world. There has been
some talk of differences between Senator
Palmer and myself and between Senator
Sherman and me. There is nothing in
these stories so far as | know"
1T has been intimated that if you do
not go into the cabinet you will go abroad
as a minister at one of the larger capt.
tails"
II shall not go abroad"
There is every indication that the talk
between General Harrison and Mr.. Nc
MILAN has resulted in the offer of the
position of secretary of war to General
Alger and that before tomorrow morning
General Alger will decide to accept the
offer

MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 9.-Mr. Edward G..
Brock, who has been assistant cashier of
the Commercial bank for the five years,
committed suicide at his home No ISIS
Gamble street at 1880 o'clock this morn
ing by shooting himself in the head with a
32-calibre pistol. No cause for the act is
yet known. Mr.. Breck was out visiting
friends last night and returned home
shortly after midnight. A few minutes
later two of his sons were awakened by a
noise which they thought was made by
the slamming of door, but on investiga-
ton their father was found lying on the
floor of his room with bullet hole in his
right temple. He remained unconscious
until his death. None of the family could
assign any reason for the act. He was SO
years old, and leaves a wife and six chill
dren. The coroner's inquest will be held
today. at which time perhaps some light
may be thrown on the mystery.

BETRAYED HIS TRUST.

NEW YORK, Feb. "a S. Gookin, CASH
Ter of the Manhattan elevated railroad
company deserted his post on Monday or
Tuesday of this week and it is thought
that he has sought quite home in Cana
da- The company loses about $4,000 by
his departure, it is said, but the officials
all profess ignorance OF positive knowl-
edge on this point.
An examination of Gookin's books made
Tuesday showed him to be defaulter for
an amount in excess Of $780, 600. He kept
four different pay rolls and the method he
employed to swindle the firm was credit
ing sums of money to names of fictitious
persons represented on the books as en-
ployes.
The greatest reticence is observed by all
the officials of the road concerning the
peculation. but many speak well of
Gookin. The length of time during which
he was engaged in the systematic swindle
is matter of conjecture but it is thought
that it did not cover very long period.

The Chamber of Torture

Is the apartment to which tine unhappy
sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism is
confined. If. ere the crisis of pain is
reached. that fine preventative, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. is used by persons of a
rheumatic tendency, much unnecessary
suffering is avoided. Nervines, anodynes,
and sedatives, while having none but a
specific effect, are yet very desirable at
times. Yet can they produce no lasting
effect upon rheumatism, because they have
no power to eliminate from the blood the
rheumatic virus. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters does this, and checks at the outset
disease which, if allowed to gain head
way, it is next to impossible 10 dislodge or
to do more than relieve Rheumatism, it
should be remembered, is disease with a
fatal tendency from its proneuess to attack
the heart. A resort to the Bitters should,
therefore, be prompt. Dyspepsia, kidney
complaint, malaria and nervousness are
relieved by it.
