South Dakota in wash,prto,.


When the time came for casting lots to
determine the terms of service of the SEN
ators from the new states, it fell to South
Dakota to take one term of two years and
one of six. Fortune was with Senator
Pettigrew, who drew the long term. SEN
ator Moody's term is for two years. In
North Dakota Senator Pierce won two
year term and Senator Casey one of four
years duration.
In the senate Mr.. Moody has introduced
bill directing the secretary of the inter-
Tor to cause the necessary surveys to be
made and artesian wells to be sunk to de-
velop the artesian basin underlying the
state of South Dakota, with view to the
use of the waters for irrigation. An ap-
preparation Of s150,OOO is asked for. 1t
will probably not be considered until after
the report of the committee on irrigation
has been made public.

May BE a Good scheme.


At special meeting of the Women's
National Industrial League of America IN
Washington the Silcott defalcation was
considered and resolution was adopted
that all disburslng agents of the govern
ment in Washington should be women.
Men can, says the resolution, enjoy their
ill-gotten money abroad with ease, but no
temptation S strong enough to induce an
American woman to expatriate herself.
Congress is asked to pass a law giving
preference to women in such appoint
ments hereafter.

that he had been overtaken by some ac-

that Silcott had drawn his bank balance

Dakota Gas Wells.

The Salem M gas well has by no means
first discovered. The we'll has recently
been visited by q practical expert of
Huron. This gentleman has unbounded
faith in the we'll holding out and ulti-
mately proving bonanza to its owners
and to Salem. While the people fully APP
preciate the value of the find, it has been
difficult to arrange to utilize the gas this
fall, on account of the ground being
frozen; but in the early spring the we'll
will be fully developed.
While boring for water on the farm of
John Schmidt, six miles west of Marion
junction, vein OF natural gas was
opened and, when ignited, burned to the
height of twenty-five feet. The flow was
preceded by low, rumbling noise. Par
ties have gone to inspect the we'll.

awakened late the other morning by ter
rife explosion in the postofce building.
The building was nearly destroyed. as we'll

pie in the wrecked buildings were badly
shaken up, but none were seriously hurt.

was caused by key of powder in the store

Uncle Sam Poor Collector of judgments.
The annual report of Gen. HepbS rn, So
licitor of the treasury, shows that the sum
of $35, 100000, principal and interest, is
due the government, as evidenced by
judgments of circuit and district courts,
but that no reliable estimate can BID given
of the value Of these judgments. The So
licitor asks that 40 appropriation OF $1o,-
900 be expended in hunting up thest debt
ors and their property, in order that the
collection of these judgments can be made.

deep scar on it.
Gan old acquaintance. Tom. gave
him this scar myself six years ago, when
he and q gang were robhing express cars

The man had evidently determined
that. whatever else nsightoccur, speech
from him would not, and he csntented
himself with bending look of deep
hatred on the jubilant chief.
Tom, who had been looking on this
scene with great interest, said to the
man:
You didn't abduct this girl on your
own accord. You were hired 10 do it:''
An expression on the scoundrers face
showed him that he had hit the truth
closely. This hmehe spoke.
II didn't sbdaet her"
''Oh, you didn't You simply took
care of her after abduction"
This time Tom had hi5 the truth
squarely, and the mans fece showed il.
''Who was the man who hired you?a
Scar Top Johnny regarded Tom with
contemptuous sheer.
"Well, said Tom, You can answer or
not as you please. We csn wait for the
half-past ten man. He'll tell.
The face of Scar Top Johnny lit up
with passing thought, and an express
sion of resolve passed over it.
Tom interpreted it accurately, but be-
fore he could act upon it, the Shadow
gave warning of another conner, and
foot was heard stumbling in the dark
ness.
The chief, however. had also penetrat-
ed the purpose of his prisoner, and press
ing the muzzle of his revolver against
Scar Top Johnny's head. he said:
If you utter cry, or make an alarm,
I'll blow your brains out. The reward is
dead or alive"
The next moment there was a knock
at the door.
Tom, who was closely watching the
face of the villain on the floor, saw an
expression of surprise fit over it, and
saw him turn his head toward the door
with look of curiosity.
The chief called out in a loud voice:
