MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Jan, l4,-A week
ago q local paper printed dispatch from
Fargo, which stated that there was ex-
treme destitution among the farmers in
the western part Of Walsh county, Da-
kota, The information came through a
letter which had been received by Rev.
g, W, Huntley, Baptist missionary for
North Dakota, from one Of the settlers.
The report was promptly denied by the
business men Of Park River in Walsh
county,
A correspondent was sent to Walsh
county 10 Investigate the matter. The
result isa complete veritiCation OF the
original report. Two days were spent
In visiting families In their novels In the
extreme western portion OF the county,
aud some OF the sights were truly pitiiul.
Walsh county is one OF the wealthiest
in Dakota, It Is tho second from tho
extreme northwestern portion of tho
Territory, Cavalier county being the
most northern. 1t is in u productive
region, and has prosperel accord

The almost total destruction OF the last
wheat crop In this belt by frost has left
the settlers without thing to purchase
supplies with, and in many instances
they are suffering for proper food and
clothing. In several places families
were found who had not tasted meat fora
week, and who lad subsistel entirely on
porridge made from frozen wheat. The
correspondent visited about twenty-five
families In drive Of over sixty miles.
The houses are situated at least a mile
apart, and In most instances mile and
n half to two miles. The only thing that
has prevented the greatest suffering has
been the mild weather. There Is the

their lot with scarcely murmur, al-
though much discouraged. As a rule
the families are large. The men are un-
able to do any work in the winter, US
there Is nothing TINT can be done. They
take care Of the stock, WHICH is gener-
ally warmly housed in sod barns, and
the Enclosures sheltered by huge straw

they are clear Of mortgage, however, so
that their possession can afford tho

u Opening the Landtag Yesterday-For.
Clgn News.
BgRLIS, Jan, l4,-The Landtag was
opened to-day,
The Emperor, in his speech opening
the session, declared that all the foreign
relations Of the country were friendly.
He said that during his recent visits to
friendly soverelgns he gained tho con-
ylctlon that Germany might confidently
cherish the hope OF peace. The con
tinued blessings OF peace arc shown In q
gratifying manner by the improved
economic situation OF artisans.
The financial position Of the country
Is satisfactory. An increase OF 100000
600 marks IN the savings banks has
proved that trade has improved. The
satisfactory character OF tho finances has
enabled the Government to further re-
duco taxation.
Among tho measures announced by
the Emperor TO be introduced in tho
Landtag are bills to further increase the
compliments Of the clergy Of all denomi-
nations, to improve the position Of teach
era IN the national elementary schools,
and for regulating the stamp tax. Hay-
Ing regard for the admittedly satiiactory
results OF the development OF railways
the assignment Of extraordinary resour-
ees to further extend them will be asked
for. A credit will be asked for the relief
of the sufferers by the floods in 1888. A
measure will be introduced dealing with
the general administration Of Posen.
