FOUR NEW STATES.
The Two DAkOtaS, Montana and Washington add
ed to the Galaxy of Stars.

On Washingtons birthday the president
signed the territorial admission bill Great
satisfaction was expressed on both sides o
the house of representatives when the pres
dents action was generally known. The
news was telegraphed to the capitol, and was
received with every mani eStation of approx.
al. Shortly after the house met. special
messenger from the White House brought the
following autograph letter to Mr.. Springer,
chairman the committee ON territories:
Hon. William NJ. Springer-My Dear Sir.
signed the bill for the admission of the new
states ut IL O'Clock this morning Yours
very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.
The news OF the approval of the territorial
admission bill by President Cleveland was
received with general qualification. There
was every assurance that the president
would sign the bill. but the knowledge OF its
appoval relieved long suffering people OF
much anxiety, and there was universal re-
jOicug. While the bill is not just what the
people of South Dakota had hoped for. there
is but one sentiment-to accept any bill at
the hands of the present congress that has
the semblance of justice to the dis ranchised
citizens OF the territories. The citizens of
South Dakota join in rejoicing over the ar
rival of the day that has given them the
rights of setgovernment, for which they have
fought for eight years.
The news that President Cleveland had
signed the omnibus bill was received at Piere
with expressions of qualification by the en-
tire population. The tact that every barrier
to division and statehood is now removed
creates feeling OF relief and satisfaction
which is visible on every Countenance. The
passage of the bill ushers in another question
of immense Importance to Pierre-the vote
on location of capital. Aftertifteen years OF
unreasing labor fordiyision. and eight years
of unceasing labor for statehood, Iankton
is en-. Dying the full qualification over the con-
summation of its never abandoned hopes.
When the capitol was taken from IunktOn
to the north it was the boast OF the winners
in that game that division was dead, and the
friends o. the cause over the territory were
quite generally disposed to accept that con-
clusion. But the division leaders at
Iankton stood steadfastly by the cause, and
through their efforts two constitutional con-
ventiLns have run their course, each presided
over by IanktOn man. These kept alive
the division sentiment. and the result now is
two Dakotas by the orGer of congress and
the president. so the flags were flying from all
the ttagstaffs in the city, and every one re-
ioiccd. There is not an unhappy man in
Iankton. All the other prominent cities and
towns in Dakota went wild with delight over
the glorious result

Adyices from the Indian Territory say
that the journal Or diary of Belle Starr, the
noted female bandit, of the territory, has
been obtained from the Starr ranch Belle
intended to publish it as an autobiography.
The matter contained therein is replete with
thrilling incidents of personal adventures,
but the most remarkable features of all are
certain disclosures concerning crimes in Tex
us and the Indian Territory which will tend
to prove that innocent men have been SEN
fenced on various occasions. 1t is also
matter of curiosity that the names of prom
inent persons are connected with certain
crimes that have been committed in recent
years. Some of the sketches in Belle Stars
journal are lively and humorous.
Sheriff Estes of Madison, Wis., has returned
from England, bringing with him Hans
Kuhn, the murderer who wns arrested ut
Liverpool u few weeks ago. Kuhn was locked
up at headquarters in New York until the
sheriff was ready to start for Wisconsin. The
prisoner is to be tried for q most brutal
crime. On Dec. 13 he murdered his room
mate, William Christian, at Madison, Wis.
Christian had saved $400, and after killing
him and getting possession of the money
Kuhn cut up the body anil placed some OF
the pieces in bag, which he threw into the
lake. The sack was found and the head rec
ognized. Suspicion fell on Kuhn, who had
left Madison in haste the day after the muir
der, Sheriff Estes started in pursuit, and
traced Kuhn to Philadelphia, where the mur-
derer had bought q ticket for Liverpool A
telegram was sent to intercept him and he
was locked up in London until Sheriff Estes
went there with extradition papers.

The Hearts of Men and Women.

Some interesting statistics about
the human heart are published by a
journal which combines science and
sentiment beyond most of our con-
tempOraries. We refer to The Ameri-
can Queen, and the topic on which
it dilates is the human heart. The
surprising fact in it's reports that the
heart of O man is larger than that of
women and weighs more, especially
as life advances. The heart of a girl
and the heart of a boy are of about
the same size, but the manly heart
gains, so that when it reaches per-
lection, say at the age of fifty, the
area of it's surface is fully as much as
two square inches more than the
area of woman's heart. We confess
that we are surprised and rather
shocked at this information; and
if it proceeded from any other source
we should - certainly doubt it's
accuracy. Yet, after all, it is not
size but quality that ought TO be re-
garded in hearts. So it is also with
brains. A small brain, like that of
Abraham Lincoln, for instance, may
be far more efficacious, provided it
be of the requisite fineness and COM
pactness, than q big brain,
like that of Yankee Sullivan. The
heartofawomanisundoubedtlynobler
than that of q man in quality. It's
pulsations may not be so noisy, but
they are more intense and subtle; and
thus tits that woman not only sur
passes man in her power of loving,
but in the elevation, the ideality
and the integrity of moral nature.
In short, women are better than men,
and the statement of The American
Queen cannot be admitted as proving
anything to the contrary.-New York
Sun.

What Dreams Are Made OF.

From the Argosy.
From time immemorial dreams
have been the won derland of walking
hours. Hope and fear have wrought
them into their own fabric. Super
stition has seized upon them and
worked up a curious ritual Of" "dreams
that go by contraries," of dreams
of the morning light" of dreams
with significance, some of which seem
natural enough, while to few of
those apparently most arbitrary,
science herself has offered a certain
amount of explanation.
Dreaming is an experience which
may be called common to humanity,
though it varies SO widelyin in different
inviduals that, in few exceptional
cases, it is absolutely unknown. \
French Psychologist caused many
curious experiments to he made on
himself during sleep. These expert
ments took the form of triHing
physical sensations, which produced
ain ost invariably wonderfully ex-
aggerated effect on the sleeping
mind. Thus a feather tickling the
lips was converted into the
horrible punishment of a mask OF
pitch being applied to the tace A
bottle of eau de cologne held to his
nose sent him into Il dream of Il per-
i tuners shop in Cairo. A pinch on
the neck recalled the days of his boy
hood and the old family physician
applying a blister to that region.
I Scientific writer's admit that there is
a type of dream in which coming
| physical disease or disaster is shad-
owed fOrth-some bodily sensation,
pehaps too slight to be noticed by
| the subject when awake, yet contriv-
ing to impress itself in some symbolic
form on the sleeping mind. The
! more striking instances of this sort
may serve to explain how, in some
lesser degree, certain symbols are
likely to attach themselves to GER
, tain painful sensations and condi-
tions, until at last they are finally
accepted as mysterious presages OF
| evil.
Conrad GesnPr, the eminent natur.
alist, dreamed that he was bitten on
the lett side by venomous serpent
In a short time Il severe carbuncle ap-
peared on the very spot, terminating
life in the space of three days. 1t is
most singular fact that under Ger,
tain combined conditions of fatigue,
discomfort and malaria, whole bodies
of men-such as companies of sold
iers-have been seized by the same
terrific dream and have awakened
simultaneously, shrieking with ter
rOr. Such an instance is related hy
t Laurent, when after a forced march
800 French soldiers were packed in q
ruined Calabrian monastery which
could i'll accommodate half the mum
ber. At midnight frightful cries is
sued from every corner of the build
ing as frightened men rushed from it
each declaring that it was the abode
! of the evil one-that they had seer
him, in the form of Il big black dog
who threw himself upon their breasts
for an instant and then disappeared
The men were persuaded to return tc
the same shelter on the next night
their officers promising to keeI
watch beside them. Shortly after
midnight the same scene was re-en
acted-the same cries, the same
flight, as the soldiers rushed forth il
a body to escape the suffocating EN-
brace of the black dog. The wakefu
officers had seen nothing.

Prince George Eristoff de Gourie of Russia
whose cosmopolitan adventures have formed
both sides of the Alta ntic, has fallen foul of
the New York police. The prince has been
well known to New York society for several
years and recently arrived from Paris. His
reputation as favorite with the fair sex has
been considerable, and his encounter with
the Marquis de Neuville in Hyde park, Lon
don, few seasons ago, is still fresh in the
public mind. Both men were then aspirants
for the hand of Mrs. Frank Leslie. He was
arrested on the charge of grand larceny. The
warrant on which he was arrested was issued
on complaint ofAugustus T. Rock well, who
alleges that de Gourie six weeks ago OBJ
tanned a sealskin overcoat worth $500 on
promise to pay it on Feb Is. The latter,
instead of paying for it, pawned it for 500.
