An Awful Tale of DestitutiOn Among

An Awful Tale of Destitution Among
NOrwegians in Dakota.
FARGO, Oak, JAN IA mcst pitiable
story comes from Watts county, in the
northern part Of the territory. Two men
had been sent with provisions to distribute
among Norwegian settlers in that region,
report having distributed the goods as fairly
as they. could among fifteen families, but said
they knew of between forty and fifty fami-
lies that were equally as destitute. In these
are an average Of five or six little ones to, the
family, without pants, coats, dresses, stock
ings, shoes, caps, mittens, or anything but a
few old rags. They were in hopes of getting
good crop and then buying clothes when it
was sold. When frost came and took their
crop they had absolutely nothing on which
live,
They are mainly Lutherans, and, not COM
planning, their real condition was unknown.
Most of them have been living on a kind Of
porridge, made by cooking up their frozen
green wheat and oats. One family had not
seen any -four for six weeks. Nearly all
were entirely out or nearly SO. Some have
enough to last three or four days yet, but no
potatoes or turnips. The people have been
dividing, with each other while their pro-
| visions lasted One woman had on nothing
but a thin calico dress, and was barefooted.
When given few clothes she first laughed,
then cried and blessed her benefactors. Rev.
o. NJ. Riches, of Park River, Walsh county,
will distribute any goods sent to the suf-

Congress Reassembles After an Unusually
Short Vacation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Congress assembled
after much shorter holiday recess than is
usually taken. The attendance is fair and
there is no reason why business should not go
rapidly forward till midnight on the Sd Of
March, at which hour and time the life
of this congress expires by constitutional de-
cree
There is an abundance of work for con-
'gress to do in the two months of life that re-
main to it, but there seems to be a general
feeling that great deal will not be accom-
plished.
The house of representatives will spend a
great deal of time in idle talk, and there will
be little to show for Its efforts when the his
tory of the session is written. There is an
apparent lack of interest and responsibility
about the present house of representatives
which indicates an indisposition to serious
work on the part of the members.

Indiana,
SHELBYvILLE, Ind, Jan. 5.-A terrible
tragedy occurred here, in Redidu Doran's
saloon, at 8 o'clock Friday evening by which
Bill Berliss, alias Windy Bill, well known
gambler, met his death at the hands of Tom
Peel, a gambler who came here about a year
ago from Nicholasville, KY. Berliss had
heard that Peel had applied vile epithet to
him several days ago, in the presence Of Joe
Baxter, mutual acquaintance, who after
ward told Berliss about it.
Berliss met Peel on the street Friday even
ing and asked him about 1t, and Peel denied
it. Berliss then insisted on Peel accompany
ing him to Doran's saloon, where Baxter was.
Baxter substantiated the statement, and Ber-
liss at once struck Peel savage blow in the
face, staggering him back against the wall.
As soon as he recovered Peel drew his re-
volver and fired, shooting Berliss through
the heart, and then fed, going to his hotel
and out the back way, and SO made his es-
cape. Berliss' wife goes by the name of Flo
Dowden, and is proprietress Of maison de

Amendments To the Tarifr Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The subcommittee
of the senate finance committee, having in
charge the tariff bill, has practically agreed
upon number of important amendments to
be offered in the senate before vote is taken
on the bill These amendments are to be Of
fered in satisfaction of an agreement reached
before the bill was reported to the senate
that after election certain concessions would
be made to certain sectiozS of the country.
1t has been practically agreed to give to
sugar producers bounty EQUAL to the reduc-
tion of so per cent. in the Guty for which the
bill pro gides This county will be one cent
on all sugars which arc produced in this
country. The COMMITTEES has practically re
jected a proposition to admit free of duty for
experimental purposes fer year machinery
used in the manufacture of sugar.
The duty on structural iron will probably
be reduced from one cent and one mill per
pound to eight, or, at the most, nine mills
per pound. The duty on lumber will proba-
bly, be reduced to $1.25. .Hs
These amendments will possibly not be an
nounced formally by the committee until
they are proposed in the senate There will
be no division in the Republican ranks, and
the tariff bill, as amended, will pass the sem
ate January 81. -
