was all right and would pull through. Be-
ing pressed with questions he said that he
had three oxen, four cows and six head Of
cattle; one hundred bushels Of wheat, hfty
bushels Of potatoes; one COW giving milk
and one coming in very soon; two pigs six
months old aud eight sheep. Mr.. Holman
told us that he was wintering four horses
for another man for which he received ~
q month. Tho land and cattle were mort
gagged, the grain and sheep we're free frara
incumbrance. In conclusion Mr.. Holman
said he didn't thank anyone for meddling
with his business, and that when he need
ed help he would let people know about IL.
In conclusion may say that there II no
excuse for making the reports which l read
in the papers concerning the condition Of
county, or at least such portions OF II ~ !
have personally visited.

what They Thsnk Of the Omnibus Rill.
Mitchell apeciall
The passage of the omnibus bill 10 gsn-
orally. ,sesrded - : favorable sign that ths
democrats, having mSds Sons b0noes1l6Il
will concede more ON tae conference com
nittee. The following are expressions Of
representative men:
F.F. Mentzer-"I consider it quite a
concession on Springer's part. Evidently
III November election had its effect. II
submits all the propositions, including the
capital location, to new vote, which was
the undoubted sentiment of the late con-
yention at Huron, whether admission was
had under the Plat bill or some other"
B. H. Sullivan. Plankinton-"n we are
to take time to resubmit any Of the propo-
sitions involved, it is no more than fair to
have new vote ON all. It looks a. If
Springer was inclined to be more reasona-
BILE, but my faith in him is still weak"
+. d. Gillespie, Black Hills-"The bill
is fair in SO far as it provides for new
vote on everything.
II. G. Preston" The senate will never
pass the omnibus bill. 1t means an extra
session if Dakota gets in this year."
Geo. A, silsby-"if the bill requires the
same conditions of New Mexico or other
territories before admission the senate
ought not to object seriously. 1t is, how
ever, a matter of regret that Dakota's
prominent qualifications could not have
insured separate bill.
A. NJ. Bowdle--"It looks as II the DEM
ocrats were determined on the omnibus bill
or nothing"
bismarck special, 1877
There was considerable comment to-d day
or the result ON the Dakota bill yesterday.
The disposition at Bismark is TO accept the
provisions of the bill, as the best time can
thus be made. although there is hope that
the senate may, through conference, Sc
cure earlier dates.
Washington special, 1871
The delegations from both south and
north Dakota and other prominent demo-
Gratis of south Dakota who have been urR.
ing the passage of the senate bill for the
admission Of south Dakota feel much dis
satisfied with the provisions of tho Sprin-
ger omnibus bill. which passed the house
to-day. They all unite In saying that Il
will merely serve to delay the admission Of
south Dakota ald render useless all that
has been done since the organization Of
the movement for admission five years
ago.
They are asking the senate to reject Il
and are willing to take their chances with
the new congress, hoping that an extra
session will be called by the president elect
when he takes his Office.
