We have been Informed that the new
town to be located in this county on the
b. & NJ. railroad, near the Fitzpatrick
coal fields, is to be the end ola division,
and that large machine shops are to be
erected neal the coke ovens. This will
necessitate the employment of hundreds
of men, and with large quantities of fine
agricultural lands in this county, il is
reasonable to presume that in the near
future Crook county will have the largest
population of any county in the terri,

The Spearfish Register, in its last
issue, is %ruthlessly outspoken in its per-
sonal criticisms of Moody's opposers for
the U. S. senate. lnsensible seemingly
to the poignancy of the distress in
volved, it unfeelingly refers to an article
written by Major Snyder, and published
in the Lead City Tribune six years ago,
wherein the Homestake company was
defended against the criticisms of the
Dcadwood press Oh the subject Of that
company's assessed valuation. 1t further
yiyidly and unpityingly recalls a period
when the Majah was the outspoken adj
yocate of Moody both in and out OF
print. 1t also calls the attention of
Gen. Dawson 10 a little episode in his
history wherein the judge played
Damon to his Pythias, and where the
service rendered is said to have saved
the general from great humiliation and
unreasonable inconvenience. The Reg
lister is exceedingly cruel in its refer
ences, while the W. military magnates
are vet to be heard from.

Opinions with reference to the time
of the opening OF the Sioux reservation
are conflicting. Many entertain the
view that the report of the commission
must be submitted to congress for ratiii-
cation, while others, among whom are
Hon. j. j. kleiner, and John II. King,
both Of whom spent n long time III
Washington working for the passage OF
the bin, and who should therefore be
perfectly familiar with its provisions
express a contrary opinion, and insist
that congress has nothing further to dc
with the matter. A Washing CORE.
spondent to the Omaha Bee speaks OF
two bills relative 10 the opening Of the
reservation being passed toy congress
upon the same day, which is generally
regarded rs a mistake as no one here
seems to have ever heard of but the
one. He says:
There seems to be q general misun-
d~erstanding rs to the opening OF the
Sioux reservation. The statement ha.
been made that the reservation would
be opened as soon as the commission
reported and the president issues hi,
proclamation. This, however. is al
error. There were two bills passed b,
congress on the same day relative to tia
opening OF the reservation, Of which
provided for the cession of lands an'
how it should be done, and the othe
provided for the appointment Of a com
mission and the expenses thereof. J
was further provided in the latter hi.

Mack, a we'll known travelling agent
Of the Sioux City Journal, in a recent
letter to the Rapid Republican from
Plankinton, says: at is difficult to say
just now how much of a swath the pro
hibitionists will cut In the coming eiec-
ton, They are pretty thoroughly or
canizcd in eastern Dakota, but the
failure Of local option has made many
suspicious Of the isste. In many places
in Iowa, under the rigid law Of that
state, prohibition does not prohibit
Members of the constitutional conven
ton who went to Spirit Lake last sun
day had evidence ofthis. A prohibition
member from the Black Hills could
make affidavit to this fact, as he saw
several men under the influence o.
liquor. There seems to be Il desire OF
the part Of Dak0tans to let the statc'
having prohibition experiment Longer
before going into the experimenting
business themselves.

1t now appears that only nine, instead
OF eleven million acres of the Sioux
reservation will be open to settlement.
Well, the difference is not material, it
is only a matter Of a couple of million
acres, which is but a fly speck upon the
face Of the great reserve.

Plan for a Great Combine of Railroad
Interests-Dividing the Stock.
CHICAGO, H., July 12.-It is generally
admitted that the so-called gentle
mems agreement" of the railroads is a
failure. 1t is now said strong efforts
will be made to create rail-
road trust with Chairman Walker
at the head. The original in
to create such trust, but owing to the
opposition of many of theroads,
they afterwards consented to try
their luck with the Interstate Com
merce Railway Association. That it is
the intention to form gigantic trust is
shown by private letter sent to the
presidents of the principal railroads in
the country by John J. McCook, of New
York, who is believed to be the man.
ager Of the literary bureau of the bank
efs' triangle" The writer outlines the
needs of the railroads, and adds:
The desirable POINTS can, in my judgment, be
readily secured aud secured only by placing at
least majority OF the shares of each of the COM
peting Eastern trunk lines, the coal lines, the
Southwestern and Northwestern lines, and the
transcont1nentai lines and their respective athl-
lated companies, arranged by territorial groups,
in trusts similar in many respects to the Stand
ard Oil and other successful trusts. I
am SAtls0eQ I0at GluSIS, constituted as
above outlined, would enable the business of the
respective territorial groups to be regulated and
controlled in the best interests of the proprietors
and without arousing any greater restrictive in
PREVENTION on the part of the national or state
governments that exist at present. Ii such
trust should be organized for the control of the
business of any group of lines 1t would natural
ly result in the establishment of similar trusts
controlling the other territorial groups. These
could finally be worked separately or in one
trust. experience and policy might dictate.
New YORK, July Fin regard to
Mr.. McCook's circular relating to the
formation of huge railroad trust, Mr..
McCook this afternoon said that the
original letter had been written without
conference or consultation with railroad
or other official. Not man nor a road
has been committed to it. McCook has
received letters acknowledging the re-
ceipt of the circular, but none of the
writer's have given the matter sufficient
consideration to base an opinion on it.
Mr.. Magown, McCook's partner, was
also seen, and in speaking of the mat
ter said while what McCook had stated
was exactly correct, nevertheless there
was scheme in the air for the forma-
ton of series of trusts among the rail
roads and it embodied very nearly the
ideas in Mr.. McCooks circular.

LONDON, July 9.-Uneasiness is felt in
London because of the absence of news
from Wady Halta regarding Col. Wode-
house and his troops. The last report
from him said that he was following a
superior force of dervishes. The gov
eminent Is considering the ACCESSIBILITY

Malta.
CAIRO, July 9.-Advices were received
here to-day that Col. Warehouses;
cavalry occupied the camp of the
enemy and found it deserted by all ex-
cept several men, women and children,
who were dying from thirst and ex-
haustion. The enemy surprised and
killed picket belonging to the Ninth
Battalion. No reinforcements for Col.
Wodehouse had as yet passed
Wady Halfa. Other advices say
that the Egyptian force under
Col. Wodehouse arrived at Adendan
last night. The dervishes occupied a
position on the opposite bank. A sharp
engagement ensued. The dervishes
were after water and managed to pro-
cure a supply, though many of their
number succumbed to the fierce artil-
lery and rifle fire kept up by the
Egyptians. There were also several
casualties among the Egyptians.

Parneu Commission.
LONDON. July 10.-Mr. Michael Davitt
appeared before the Parnell commits
sion again to-day. He complained that
somebody who desired to injure the
Irish in the eyes of the British public
had placed two bogus dynamite ma
chimes within the precincts of the court,
and out of this alleged attemp pit
at outrage the Evening Post, of
London, had made sensational
article which said that this
incident indicated the danger which the
court had incurred and showed how
easily the desperate enemies of England
who had recently testified before the
commission could blow up the building.
Mr.. Davitt in an excited manner assert
ed his belief that the affair had been
planned by LIE Caron and Houston.
Presiding Justice Hammer said he I'M
derstood why Mr.. Davitt should have a
strong feeling in the matter but he
must take the proper course and make
inquiries TO prove his allegations. The
justice said that he himself regarded
the matter as silly hoax.

IMPROVEMENT IN COTTON.
The Government Report on the Condition
of the Crop.

of the Crop.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 1O.-The
June report of the statistician of the
Department of Agriculture, made pub.
lie to-day, shows an improvement in
the condition of cotton during the past
month. The early planted areas are
we'll advanced. That which was planted
in May and that which had not germi-
mated before the season of drought is
late and small. There was frost nearly
throughout the cotton belt on
the last of May and the first of June
which prevented termination already
long delayed and arrested the growth of
plants. There is general complaint of
the effects of dry and cool season con-
tinuing through May and into June, in
delaying termination and growth and
favoring the prevalence of lice. West of
the Mississippi, especially in Texas,
the season is considered wet one
and the June rains continuing until
the day of report began at an
earlier date than in the Atlantic
states. Their effect has been
to improve the stand which was very
defective and advance the growth of the
plant. The wide variations in date of
termination has had the effect to make
the crop later by week or two than
that of 1888, and the stand is not SO
good. Some plants came up in April
and some late in June.
The percentage of condition by states
are as follows: Virginia, SO; North Car
Sc; Florida, 90; Alabama, 81; Mississip-
pi, 81; Louisiana, 90: Texas, 90; Arkan-
sas. So; Tennessee, 80; general average,

The arrest was the result of telegram
received by Inspector McCaleese from
Sheriff Thomas F. Lyon, OF Edgefeld
County, South Carolina. few days ago.
The telegram stated that Flemon, or
Yeldell, had been implicated in brutal
murder in that county in 1856, but fed
at the time and had not been heard of
since until short time ago, when
through letter addressed to somebody
in that locality it was learned that he
had located in this vicinity. He is an
unusually bright and well educated
colored man and betrays no signs OF
nervousness over his arrest. He has
been regarded as very exemplary

DEATH OF MRS. TYLER.
The Widow of the ex-President Expires at
Richmond. Va

Richmond, Va.
A Richmond, Va, dispatch of the 10th
saws: Mrs. ex-President John Tyler
died at the Exchange Hotel this even
ing from congestive chill. Mrs. Tyler
had only been at the hotel since Sunday
evening, having come from visit to her
son, Lyon G. Tyler, at Williamsburg,
and was to have left here Monday on u
visit to another son, on the James River,
but feeling unwel- she kept her room.
Tuesday at IL o'clock she was taken
with chill. Medical skill proved of no
avail, and she died at 5:15 o'clock this
afternoon.
Mrs. Tyler leaves four children, Lyon
G. Tyler, president of William and
Mary College, Virginia; Gardner 6.
Tyler, who lives in Charles City County,
Virginia; DIR. Lacklan Tyler, of Wash
ington city, and Mrs. VIM. Ellis, of
Montgomery County.
Julia Gardiner Tyler, second wife of
John Tyler, tenth president of the
United States, was born on Gardeners
Island, near East Hampton, n. Y, in
1920. She was educated at the Chegary
Institute, New York city, and after 8
short time spent in travel through Eu-
rope she came to Washington with
n6r JAtu0T III lOff. n lew Wc6kb
after their arrival they accepted an in
vitation from President Tyler to attend
pleasure excursion down the river on
the war steamer Princeton. The festi-
vities on the occasion were sadly married
by the explosion of gun on the ves-
sci, causing loss of life. Among those
killed was Miss Gardeners father.
His body was taken to the
White House, and Miss Gardiner
was thrown great deal into the
society of the president, owing to the
peculiar circumstances attending her
fathers death. President Tyler's first
wife had died shortly after he entered
the White House, and the president
paid Miss Gardiner marked atten-
ton, which resulted in their mar
riage in New York city. June
26, 1914. For the succeeding
eight months of President Tvler's
term she presided over the White
House with tact, grace and dignity.
After March 4, 1915, Mrs. Tyler retired
with her husband to the seclusion
of their country place, Sherwood
Forest" on the banks Of the
James River, Virginia. She re-
manned in Virginia until after the
civil war, her husband having died
about the beginning OF the strife, and
then went to reside at her mothers res
idence on Castleton Hill, Staten Island.
After several years residence there she
removed to Richmond, Va, where she
died. Mrs. Tyler WAS a Roman Cath
oliC in religion.
