Bismarck, OAK, Jan. 14th, '89.


EDITOR COURIER: Speaking OF
the Legislature, it is entirely proper
to say that South Dakota got a ter.
rible black eye. The combine in
the council stuck together as though
it were glued. Bismarck is suffering
a business drought that is very Sc
we're. Between the Sheridan House
and the hotel at which we are stop
ping we counted eighteen business
buildings vacant, and in the snberbs
houses are empty by the score. In
a conversation with an old citizen,
he informed me that it was caused
by a reaction Of the capitol boom,
and poor crops caused by early
frosts. People here do not care
what becomes of the capitol if they
can only be favored with two Or
three good crops. The 500 lire from
here to Aberdeen which was graded
summer before last and two thirds Of
the culverts put in, has been pur-
chased by the Canadian Pacific and
will no doubt be extended up the
Missouri river the present season, as
we are informed by Gen. Hughes.
The opening of the Great Sioux Res
ervation will not materially affect
Bismarck. The capitol building is
being supplied with eclectric lights.
We enjoyed a five o'clock dinner
with Gen, Hughes and family last
evening and as they have many
friends in old Union, we may be
pardoned for giving a short descrip.
ton of their elegant home. The
house is situated On an eminence
which makes it attractive. On the
first floor is the hall extending en-
tirely through the house. On the
right hand is the parlor and draw.
ing room on the left hand the re-
ception room, the main stairway, IL
brary and dining room. The hall
and rooms on the right hand are
finished deliberately in solid cherry.
The hall and rooms on the left hand
in antique oak, finished with pum-
mace stone and whiting in oil, and
is very beautiful. The doors are a
series of parallel panels from top to
bottom. The newell post of the
main stairway is Of gnarled oak and
extends to the ceiling. The recep-
ton room is furnished with a fire.
place in oak with german silver
trimmings. The parlor and drawing
room have fire-places of cherry
trimmed with enamel tileing. The
second floor contains a large sitting
room, several sleeping rooms and
closets and bath room, all finished
in old pine. The basement, which
is under the whole house, contains
the boiler room, kitchen, laundry,
cellar, coal bin aud gymnasium for
the boys. The dining room is sup
piled by a dumb waiter from the
kitchen below. To give a minute
description of this delightful home
would require too much space. The
parlor is l6x26, the furniture in this
room is solid cherry and very elabo-
rate, consisting Of twelve pieces in
GLIDING two settles. All the windows
except the plate glass are supplied
with inside blinds TO match the fin
ish. Gen. Hughes reluctantly in
formed me that his house and
grounds cost him over $4,000 aud
the furnishings about 5000 more.
Gen. Hnges invested in Gogebic
stock some time since, and last fall
effected q sale whereby in one day
he cleared up over $4,000 and has
stock left. Mr.. Hughes has become
interested in the German Medicine
Company Of Minneapolis in the
manufacture OF stock food. The
Company have eleven men on the
road and their goods nre said to
take like wiid-tirc. Many viii be
