South Dakota has elected to the United St1tes
Senate two men who will admirably represent not
only their own State, but all that is best ana
most earnest in Western life. Judge Moody
enjoys wider reputation than his colleague Mr.
Pettigrew, for he is much older man and has
devoted many years of his active and useful lie
70 public affairs But both are types OF those
moral and intellectual forces which have made the
West so quickly great MIR. Pettigrew entered
Dakota with surveyors chain in his hand me
first white man to invade that part of the prairie
wilderness His present eminence has been at
tanned after long wears of those patient labors
and PAINFUL sacrifices through which new States
arr buildcd Not only has he grown up with the
country" but it is only fair to SLY that the
country has grown IN with him. In choosing
these two men, South Dakota has taken into her
service her most prominent business man and her
most prominent lawyer.

The highly successful rally with which the
Republican campaign in this city opened on
Saturday was followed last night by an equally
enthusiastic meeting at Cooper Union. Mr.
Elhu Root presided, and made an effective
speech; Senator Hiscock was called on for the
principal address, and shorter ones were maze
by three Of the candidates on the state ticket
Messrs. Cooke, Hedges and Varnum. The
local canvass must be short, but it promises
to be thoroughly active and efficient. Many
things have combined 10 make this an eX-
ceptionay favorable year for the Republicans
of New orl City, and there is every indica-
ton that no chance will DC neglected.

A BARGAI,
HOW TO AIR APARTMENTS

IT is the general practice to open only the
lower part of the windows of room in ven
tilating it, whereas if the upper parts were
also opened, the object would be more speed
lily effected. TIE air in an apartment is
usually heated to higher temperature than
the outer air, and it is thus rendered light
er, and as the outer air rushes in, the warm
er and lighter air is forced upward, and
finding 20 outlet remains in the room. If
candle be held in doorway near the door,
it will be found that the flame will be blown
inward, but, if it be raised nearly to the
.op of the doorway, it viii go outward the
warm air flowing out at the top. while the
cod air flows in at the bottom. A current
of warm air from the room is generally
rushing up the flue of chimney, if the
fue be open, even if there should be no fire
in the stove; therefore open 6replaces are
the best ventiators we can have for a cham

chimney near the ceiling.

undoubtedly ready to unite upon MIR.

THE NEW PUBLIC LAND BILL.
Many of our readers will doubt

THE NEW PUBLIC LAND BILL.
Many of our readers will doubt
less be glad to read this, which we
take from the Hoxie Sentinel:
WASHINGTON, Mar. Is, 1889.
Dear Hxmes.:-I enclose copy of the
Public Land Bill, by which you will see
that the presumption, timber culture and
Communication sections of the homestead
law we're not repealed.
Section one of this bill was passed by
the senate, and in the house we attached
the other sections and one repeating the
laws referred to. expecting to cut this re-
pealing clause out in conference commit
tee, which we did. 1 presented section
to this committee reducing all double
minimum lands to dollar and quarter
per acre, but failed in securing its adop-
ton, but secured compromise in the
proviso of section two. This allows all
pre-emptors to change their entries into
homestead, even though they have
used their homestead rights before. This
Will allow them to avoid ,raising the
money necessary to pay out under their
pre-emptioas.
Yours truly,
Ell. TURNER.

1T CAN BE DONE.

You would quit talking grisi
mill If you were in our place,
wouldn't you? 1t is tiresome, we
confess.
But we again state as fact that
Wa-Keeney people ought to see to
having grist mill built here. 1t
ought to be built this spring. One
can be built for a few thousand
dollars, and additions can be made
to its facilities as time passes. We
are convinced that after the first
year grain sufficient to support the
mill would be grown in the large
area of country which is naturally
tributary to Wa-Keeney as mill
ing point. A good mill in Wa
Keeney,under the present conditions,
would be patronized by nearly every
farmer in the counties of Trego,
Cove and Logan, to say nothing
of portions of Sheridan and Ora
ham counties. The local grain
output for the support of
mill at Wa-Keeney will not be
satisfactory for years to come, I'M
less the mill is established. We
state what you know in the propo-
sition that a grist mill at Wa-kee-
ney would soon increase the trade
Of the town fully one-third. AL
ways a valuable consideration, this
fact is especially so now. The profit
would prove much more than an
offset for the difficulty in gathering
the funds to build the mill. We.
violate no confidence when we say
that towns in Ellis county, by
reason eff having mills, are taking
from Wa-Keeney a large portion Of
the trade to which, on general prin-
ciples, she is entitled legitimately.
Unless Wa-Keeney rallies from her
lethargy, bad will grow rapidly into
worse.
Why not get two men to come
here and establish a mill on the |
basis Of the town people raising in
the aggregate as much as each Of
the millers, or one-third the cost Of
the mill? Early and emphatic
action should be taken in the mat
ter. Delay is not merely dangerous.
It is fatal

Board of commissioners met pursuant
to adjournment. All present.
It was thought that some parties who
live in Trego county had been imposing
upon the county by going outside the
county, killing coyotes and rabbits, and
claiming bounty for the scalps in Trego
county. An order was made that when
parties are not personally known to the
county clerk they will be required to
produce two witnesses to prove that ami
mails for which bounty is claimed were
killed in Trego county; this in addition
to the usual oath.
The clerk was instructed to correspond
with manufacturers in regard to roller
book shelves for vaults in new court
house.
The matter of insurance was discussed.
1t was decided to insure the court house
for five years in the sum of twenty-five
thousand dollars.
Board adjourned sine die.

REMARKABLE RAIN.
The Ground Soaked by Gentle
One,
Lasting from Sunday Morning
Until Monday.

The gentle rain which began fallins
here early last Sunday morning was re
markable, because phenomenal a. to the
season and extent OF duration.
Not only our farmers, but people gen.
orally, are greatly encouraged by the ex.
cellent crop prospects, The water
which fell gently and almost steadily
from last Sunday morning until well
along in Monday, was absorbed by the
ground. As a result. the ground is satu.
rated thoroughly to depth as great az
anybody wants to pillow. As is generally,
if not always, the case, this grand rain
has shorn the winds of their fury. The
moisture will, in the event of this calm
ness continuing, last more than three
times as long as it could were the winds
working savagely to pump it from the
ground.
Commissioner Ridgway and men from
all portions of the county say, that wheat
and other growing crops look unusually
promising for the season.
