Gen. s. d. Sturgis, late in command
at Fort Meade. died at his residence in
st. Paul on Saturday 2Sth ult.-The
Pioneer Press, referring to the death OF
this popular officer, says: Death
removes another of those sturdy
men to whom prosperity will ever be
indebted for their work in Wrestling the
northwest from the domination of the
untamed savage. Gen. Samuel ID,
Sturgis died yesterday at his residence
in st. Paul. A veteran fof the Mexican
and civil wars and the hero of many a
bloody encounter with the painted

those who sowed in hardships and
blood that this and coming generations
might reap in peace and prosperity.

This capital fight was a blessing to il
not the salvation of the state fair.
Tuesday was Sioux Falls. day, and abo ut
a hundred were there from Sioux Falls.
Wednesday was Pierre day, and over a
hundred from Pierre were there.
Thursday was Watertown and Huron
day, when Watertown sent a hundred
while Huron went there with s coaches
loaded. The advertisement that these
towns would be there with music, militia
banners and fire companies attracted
many, while.their own representations
was close to a thousand. But this is the
only good thing to be credited to the
capitl clashing.-Pioneer Press.

Moore's Museum.

We clip the following from the Sioux
City Journal concerning J. +. MCore's
varied exhibit of Custer, Fail River
and Pennington county products at the
Corn Palace in that City:
The Black Hills of South Dakota, a
country where every hill is loaded with
mineral wealth and every valley contains
the richest agricultural anu stock graz
ing lands IN the west, is represented by
q characteristic variety of specimens
from the vicinity OF Buffalo Gap.
j. +. Moore, wife and son are in
charge of the exhibit, and The adniring
spectators keep them busy answering
questions about he minerals of that
section.
The Elm Creek Brown and White
Sandstone company display a variety OF
samples from its valuable quarries.
Narjegated brown and white sandstone,
roughly dressed, pudding stone that
stands a high polish and? resembles the
finest quality of granite, are the principal
samples.
What is Of most interest in this eollec-
ton are the samples of tin rock from the
Custer and Pennington county mines.
The Flora mine, near Custer, the pro-
perty of James Wilson, of New York :;
the Tin Queen mine of Pennington
county, the property Of Frank Hebert,
and the Naiad Queen mine, of Custer
county, have beautiful samples on exhi-
bition.
Then there is a sample of what is call.
ed stream tin, the solid article, as it is
washed from the quartz in the guIches.
a rich sample of crude petroleum
gives evidence Of another variety of
wealth in that land of riches. Mr.. Moore
says oil is found in large quantities on the
west side Of the mountains, land YOU
may add that the Burlington and Miss
ouri road will reach there on the first Of
next month"
In the collection Of cereals are samples
in the seeds and head of Canadian black
wheat. 1t is a much larger berry than
the native samples.
Samples Of bottled "Minnekahta' min
eral water. in which Fred Evans, sr. of
this city, is largely interested, are a part
of Custer county's display.
A sample of bituminous coal, a surface
quality, is among the collection of miner
ais. 1T is excellent coal for steam pur-
poses," exclaimed Mr.. Moore.
What will particularly interest the
scientists is the very large display of
fossils and mineral specimens. They
are numerous and valuable.

President Homer b. Sprague of Grand
Forks believes in the state supplying
text book gratuitously to all children
in public scools. He is one Of the ablest
advoctes Of this proposition in the
United States. and made an enviable
record in Massachusetts, in its favor,
where it was adopted and remains in
force. LET the books, the mateials and
the stationery, like the apparatus, the
furniture, the grounds and the buildings,
be furnished gratuitously to all, "
The argument that is advanced in favor
of the state building school houses and
compelling atte1ance applies to FREQ
school books. Books are more necessary
than teachers, houses or desks. If the
state is to take a hand in the education
of its children, the first step should be
the "free text book" North Dakota
should follow the example of Massachu-
sets and adopt the free text book"
system.-Pioneer Press.

A Geyser in the Bear Lodge.

A gentleman Of undoubted ~yaracity
tells us that on coming to town from
he Bell Fourch, a few weeks ago, over
he Bear Lodge mountains, he made
a discovery. Coming on horseback, be
took a direct rout, that led him W
Beaver creek and towards Warren's
peak-the highest OF the Bear Lodge
range. When near the head of that
stream, but on a spur to one side Of il
his attention was drawn to an old camp
ground. While wondering that a camp
should have been made apparently so
far from water, he was startled by q
loud noise, some thing like the falling
Of IA large tree, and on looking mp the
mountain, still above him. he saw some
twenty or thirty feet of a column of
water descending. He Immediately
rode up to it and discovered a lake
about fifty yards wide and about twice
rs long, the waters of which were still
dancing and much disturbed. This
lake, apparently has no outlet and from
the blush appearance of its waters has
great depth. The party who witnessed
this strange sight thinks that the
column of water may have spouted fifty
feet or even higher as several seconds
elapsed between the first splash and
the time he located the sound. 1t is
evidently a geyser that spouts at regular
intervals, but on account of its isolated
station has never been seen in activity
bv man heretofore.-Wyoming Republi-
