The commission at Pine Ridge agency
which is negotiating for the opening of
the great Sioux reservation is making
somewhat slow progress, the difficulty
being to induce the Indians to meet in
council to consider the subject of selling
their lands. A great deal of quiet work
is being done, however, in the way of
talking to the Indians and half breeds
and it may be possible to work up a
sentiment among them which Will be
favorable to the sale of their lands at a
fair price. The white man wants the
land and the Indian must move on or
cast his lot with the Caucasian and be-

Sioux CITY, Iowa, April IA special
from Fort Dodge says: The old excite
ment among the river land settlers has
been revived by the resumption of evic-
lions from the Litchfield lands, and the
actions Of evicted settlers toward parties
who have purchased lands from which
evictions have been made. At an early
hour Monday morning large number
of river land settlers, fully equipped
with machinery and seeds, started out
to plant crops on the farms of evicted
settlers. This action is in keeping with
the threat made at that time that they
would repossess themselves Of the lands
from which they had been evicted. The
farm of Charles Pigman, which he pur.
chased after VIM. Spainhower was twice
evicted, was first visited during Pig
mans absence. When he returned a
few hours later he found his fields alive
with men and teams sowing crops for
the evicted settler. Spainhower. Pigman
came to this city at once and filed an
information against as many of the set
tiers as he knew, and warrants were is
sued for their arrest. The settlers an
nounce that it is their intention to farm
for the benefit of the evicted settlers all
lands from which the occupants have
been removed, and that the officials will
be defied If they interfere. Such action
will precipitate greater trouble than ever
before in the river land cases, and there
is much excitement.

ABERDEEN'S LOSS.

The County Seat Contest in Brown
County Decided In Favor of Columbia.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-In the SUI
preme court the chief justice rendered
decision dismissing for want of jurisdic-
ton the case of John f. Adams against
the board of county commissioners of
Brown county, Oak. This is the case in
which Adams sought to restrain the
transfer of the county seat from Column
bia to Aberdeen. Adams claimed
that the special election by
which the county voted to change
the seat was held under an act of the
legislature which was void under the
terms of an act of congress approved
July 80, 1856, which forbids territorial
legislatures enacting special legislation
for various cases, among them the re-
moval of county seats. Adams won his
case in the lower court, and on an APP
peal being taken to the supreme
court, pleaded want of jurisdiction,
because, as required by the stat
ute of March 3. 1885, governing ap-
peals to the supreme court, the validity
of United States statute was not called
in question. The court took this view
of the case and dismissed the appeal.
The decision is final and settles the ques-
ton that the records of Brown county
must be taken back from Aberdeen to
Columbia,

THE DREApNAUGHT.


As win he seen by the picture here given,
this locomotive differs very materially from
the ordinary locomotives in use upon Amer
lean railroads, and though she does not differ
in looks from other English locomotives, the
principles of her construction differ much
more from all other locomotives than her
appearance. Briefly, this difference may be
stated as follows: The Dreadnaught has
three cylinders, one low pressure in
side and two high pressure outside Its
two pairs of driving wheels are unconnected,
and there is n substitute for the old time
link motion for working the valves The
two outside cylinders receive steam direct
from the boiler and it is worked at high
pressure exactly as in the ordinary American
locomotive After the steam has been used
in the high pressure cylinders it is admitted
20 the inside or low pressure cylinder; first
having been superheated where it is worked
the second time, and having lost q much
greater portion of its energy than in the old
style of locomotive is then admitted direct to
the smoke stack, the same as in the present
engines, where it assists in forming a draft.
The high pressure or outside cylinders are
connected directly to the rear or trailing pair
of drivers, while the inside is connected with
the forward pair of drivers. It is therefore
not necessary that the two pair of drivers
shall be exactly of the Same diameter, and
this is n great advantage, as one of the great
est difficulties met In the construction Of the
ordinary American locomotive is to secure
exact uniformity of size. Beside being much
swifter engines, the new locomotives aressaid
TO be much more economical In the case Of
one engine converted from simple high
pressure engine to a compound machine on
an English road, the consumption of coal was
reduced from 3l.4 to 23.2. The other ad
vantages are greater adhesive power Of the
engine, and therefore greater pulling power.
The disposition Of the three cylinders effects
a much more satisfactory balance and conse-
quently n steadier run. The main objection
is in the difference of starting this form of
engine with q train on a grade, as the low
pressure cylinder is not operative until the
steam has been received from the high pres
sure cylinder.
In some compound locomotives there Is a
continuance for the admission of steam direct
from the boiler to the high pressure cylinder,
but this plan has not been adopted with the
Dreadnaught. The weight of tho Dread
naught is 81, 200 pounds, or about AK tons
The weight of the tender is $1,000 pounds,
empty. Her driving wheels are feet inches
in diameter. Her outside cylinders are IA by
"a and her inside cylinder 80 by "a inches
An engine of exactly the same pattern has
pulled a train of 544,0o pounds 1853 miles in
3 hours and "a minutes, including two stops,
or at the rate of 443 miles an hour, excluding
stoppages This is very good speed for so
heavy q train, and outside of England no
train of anything like a similar weight has
run at even 10 miles an hour. Other engines
Of similar class have done even better work

various branches of life Father Thirty was
the chief director of the Society Of the Holy
Childhood of the United States, and pub
lished report Of the condition of the society
Just before his death.
The College of st. Francis Xavier, to the
success of which Father Thirty devoted the
greater part Of his life, was established in
1850. The founding of the college was the re-
suit Of the combined labors of many noted
Jesuits, among whom were De Luynes, Kob-
Ter, Teller, Drlscoll, Jouin, Walmsley, Du-
ranquet, Durthaller, Mignard and Thirty.
The college was opened in 1850 1t was
located on Fifteenth street, and in those days
was considered an ediice of considerable pre-
tentions, but now, dwarfed by the fine build
ings which surround it, is not very impressive
In appearance. New York city was compare
lively small place. The college at first was
not remarkably successful, but the excellence
of the faculty and the thoroughness of its edu-
cational system soon began to be known, and
the college became too small to accommodate
the students who were sent TO 1t from all parts
Of the United States. Tho classical training
given to the students of st. Francis Xavier's,
even in the old days when it was struggling
for existence, has been enthusiastically com.
mended by some of the most noted and ex-
acting educational writers of the times.
