NOTHING BUT STARVATION
The Outlook for south Dakota

The Outlook for South Dakota
Farmers Unless Timely Aid Is
Given.
The citizens of Miner county, South
Dakota, have gloomy outlook for the
ensuing winter. Unless prompt relief
is afforded them, the worst of all hOr-
rOrs stares them IN the face-cOld, grim
starvation. A. II. Trow, of Carthage,
arrived in the city yesterday, having
been commissioned by meeting of the
citizens of Miner county to interest the
philanthropiSts of the Twin Cities in
their behalf. He told a distressing
story. So widespread is the poverty
that to day - on the threshold
of what is promised to be a
severe and trying winter - three
quarters of the farmers are reduced
to burning cow chiDs. They have not
red cent left. All their crops have
completely failed, owing to the con-
tinued drought. The season opened
well. The rich wheat fields of South
western Dakota bloomed luXuriant up
to the month of May, and then the
farmers ely of joy WAS changed into
one of woe. The crops literally with
cred away. The farmers are reduced
to pennileSs condition. and, as "a duty
they owe to themselves and families"
they called upon the people of the
country for aid. There are five or SIX
thousand inhabitants in the county.
Contributions may be sent to j. j.
White, Il. F. Lyons. F. S. Bagley. of

A ONE-AkMED JUGGLER.
Deaf, But Plays the Violin to Per
lection.

a little one-armed man, with knee
breaches and the airs of a sleight-of
hand performer. hurried swiftly and
daintily across the stage of the dime
museum last evening. All saw that he
had but one arm, that it was his right
arm and that he was very clever Jug
gler in spite of it; but few people SuS.
Dected that he was also a deaf-mute.
Those who watched him closely would
have noticed, however, that at the
end of each bit of legerdemain that was
more surprising than the rest. he
opened his eyes and mouth. looked at
the audience in mock establishment and
uttered little, strange, inarticulate cry,
quite unexpected and ineXpllcable. 10
an experienced person, that very mo-
ton would have suggested the truth.
This man, who called himself Leander,
was a deaf-mute, but not the less a
surprisingly clever juggler all the same.
Surprising because all the most difficult
work that he does is performed with
the stump of his arm. He even plays
violin, but that is perfectly mechanical
he can not hear the music. In order
to use the stump of his arm as hand
he has several different adjuncts. At
one time his arm is fitted out with
hook, at another time with little cup
in which he catches balls, and at other
times he uses sin ply the stump of his
arm. 1t is all altogether unique per-
Torrance that he gives and quite in

THEIR SEVERAL PLEAS.
The Milwaukee Road Pleads Not
Guilty Against a Serious Charge.


Those indicted by the United States
grand jury were aTraigned before Judge
Nelson yesterday morning. Hon. John
Fish, general solicitor of the Chicago,
Milwaukee d st. Paul Railway COM
pany, put in plea of not guilty for that
corporation. which is indicted for viola
ton of the interstate commerce law.
The grand jury returned three bills
against the Milwaukee rooad, and in
one case Frank ID. Beecher, the Fari-
bault agent of the road. is made CO.
defendant. The specific charge against
the Milwaukee, as has been published
heretofore, is that of discriminating in
freight rates between Chicago and St.
Paul and Minneapolis and between Chi
cago and Faribault. The matter was
brought to the notice of the government
authorities by a number of Faribault
merchants, who complained that the
Milwaukee charged them higher rates
on certain articles of commerce between
Chicago and Faribault than was charged
on the same articles between Chicago
and St. Paul. W. E. Gelement, indicted
for mail robbery, was given until next
Monday to plead. Samuel la Grade and
John Cochran pleaded not guilty of sell
ing liquor to Indians. A. +. Walker,
indicted for violation of the postal laws,
gave notice of demurrer.

Jury Milk and Watery Docu-
ment.
The grand jury of the district court
reported yesterday and was discharged.
B sides handing in fifty four indict-
mentS, the jury, as body, inspected
the jail, and take pleasure in laying be-
fore the court and the public. the
thorough cleanliness and fine condition
of that Institution.
A committee inspected the work
house aid found in the institution 40
male and fourteen female inmates. The
knitting department on the third floor
was visited, where the wOrkmen are
employed in making cotton and wooden
hose. The work that is turned out of
tile knitting department will compare
favOrably with any EaStern-made goods.
The female department is entirely sep
arate from that of the male and is in
charge of a matrOn. We found that
the buildings and all the surroundings,
as far as we were able to Judge. were
clean and in good order. The Superin-
tendent asks for no improvements. The
committee which inspected the aims
house found it in clean con-
ditiOn and the inmates contented.
The committee that visited the city
hospital recommends that gas or cleo
tricIty be used for lighting the building.
The kerosene lamps are dangerous and
do not give out sufficient light. es-
pecially when operations have to be
performed at night. An increase in the
force of nurses is advised.
By order of the court the indictments
were suppressed until to-day. 1t is
known however that indictments have
been found against the alleged real eS-
tate swindlerS. Ole Oleson is indicted
for manslaughter. No bills were found
against William Knapp, E. II. Hull, p.

The Scandinavian local papers exchange
with those in the old country. The
Swedes and Norwegians go home often,
and spread the news of the richness of
the new country, bringing out their
relatives and friends. Our firm is doing
a great deal of advertising in the old
country. and these combined reasons
have caused the interest in the new

tested in Norway, Sweden, Germany
and Denmark. We have opened an
Office at Seattle and are doing rafting
business in settling immigrants in the
neighbOrhood of both cities. There was

street, but it would not work, as the

IT WON'T DO.
Misrepresentation in Commercial
Transactions.

Judge Brill has overruled the plain
tif's demurrer to the answer in the
case of Mark E. Ferrey against William
ID. Farnham. Ferrey sues for 800 on a
promisory note, which was given him
by Farnham as part of the purchase
price for his interest in the old firm of
Butt 81 Ferrey. In his answer to Fer
rey's complaint, Farnham charges that
the note was secured through false
representations, and is therefore void.
The answer states that in December,
1887, Farnham purchased Ferrey's in
tereSt in the business of Butt q Ferrey
for the sum of $4,000, $500 of which was
paid in cash and the balance in notes.
To induce Farnham to purchase, Ferrey
represented that the net assets. over all
liabilities of the firm, amounted to
s., 1875. Farnham now alleges that
the net assets, over liabilities, only
amounted to S1,700. In his order over
ruling the demurrer to answer, Judge
Brill states that Farnham has cause for
a suit against Ferrey for damages.

DETECTED BY A REPORTER.
Arthur POmeroy Stands His Trial
for Alleged Fraud.

The trial Of Arthur A. Pomeroy,
charged with using the mails for fraud
ulent purposes, was begun before Judge
Nelson yesterday afternoon. POmeroy
is the man who advertised himself as
the Northwestern agent of large inn
porting house, and offered to sell fine
silk and plush goods at remarkably low
prices. His advertisements were placed
in country newspapers, and the low
prices advertised proved to be a good
bait for the country innocents, who
sent in mail orders by the score, accom-
panied with cash. The orders were
never filed. But Pomeroy's profitable
business had scarcely begun when he
was detected and arrested. T. j.
Mosier. the newspaper reporter who de-
tected Pomeroy's sWindling game and
exposed him, was the only witness ex-
amined yesterday. His testimony was
very damaging to the defendant.

EMIGRATION WESTWARD.

Germans and Scandinavians.

Washington Is Being tllied with
Germans and Scandinavians.
Julius O. Searle, of the firm of a. E.
Johnson & Co, came in from Washing
ton territory yesterday, where he rep
resents the firm. He was asked how
Immigration was getting on in the new
Western state, and replied: ''Since we
opened our Office at Tacoma the first of
the year, we have sold $4,000 acres of
land in the vicinity of that city. Most
of this was bought by ScandinavianS
and Germans, who settle the land at
once. paying a small sum down and
having ten years in which to pay the
balance. The richest soil in the cOun
Try is in Western Washington. Wheat
grows well on the east side of the Cas-
cade mountains. bat on the west all
sorts of vegetables and corn grow well.
The land is so rich that it needs no fer
tiliZing and only from one-half TO one
third as much plOwing and cultIvating
is needed as to raise the same amount
of stuff in the East. In the Puyallup
valley 600 bushels of potatoes to
the acre are raised. Washington is
well advertised in Norway and Sweden.
