Over-Couddent.

The Sioux City Journal, a newspaper
more friendly toward the interests of
South Dakota than any which reaches
our table, says:
The Indians Of the great Sioux reser
walton may as well understand right now
that this is their last chance. If they
refuse to do the right thing under the
law for the opening of the reservation
they will forever have passed the age of
consent. The reservation in that event
will be opened at the next session Of
congress SD quick that it will make their
heads swim.
Is not the Journal a trife over-con-
fident in this NATTER Has not the
Journal forgotten having expressed a
similar view on a former OCCASION,
when a failure to secure the consent
of these same Indians to the cession was
becoming apparent? The Journal is
sadly misled when il concludes that this
favored race eve passes the age OF
consent, and it may rs well make up its
mind at once, that in case Of another
failure on the part of the commissioners
these noble reds of the reserve will be
consulted later on with reference TO
their final consent, without which, it is
ia irly certain, the reservation will not
be opened to settlement.

How to Advertise.

The more an advertisement appears
not to be an advertisement, the better it
is, sometimes, not always, for a business
advertisement written for business viii
bring business.
Advertisements are among the pro-
ducts of literature, and like other liter
airy products they must, TO be successful,
hit the popular taste and fill the public
need. An advertiser should do his
literary best in these directions.
An advertisement can be instructive
in a general way, 50 rs TO contain posi-.
tive Information, which will be read and
looked for, and which cannot be read
without the substance of the advertise
ment permeating the remotest recesses
Of the readers brain.
That money is wasted in advertising
goes without saying Bad investment
are made in this, as well as in other en-
terprioes. Skill ami judgment ar,
needed-ski!l in working an advertise
ment, and judgment in selecting tn,
medium for getting it before the public
Exchange.

q curious contrast with the maps that
we now have for the census Of 1850, or
that Of 1870. over 100000 acres of
land were sold in the last fiscal year
under the operation of the homestead
and timber culture law. More than
l24, 900 acres have been settled in
the past eight years, representing a
larger area than the states Of Indiana,
Ohio and Michigan. The greatest
changes have been made in the north
western group of states and territories,
comprising Dakota, Nebraska, Mime
sofa, Wyoming and Montana, where
nearly 60,000.0O0 of ACRES have been
settled in the last eight years. In the
southwestern group comprising Kansas

nearly 30,000.000 of acres have been oc.
cupied. On the Pacific coast 100000

A Washburn, North Dakota, specia,
to the Minneapolis Tribune gives the
following strange account Of the whole
sale slaughter of ducks by lightning at
that place on the 3lst ult: "a strange
sight was witnessed here yesterday
during a very severe thunder storm.
When the storm was at its hight an
enormously large flock Of ducks was
seen coming from the north. 1t was
undoubtedly the largest flock ever seen
in this section Of North Dakota. The
sky was black with the birds and the
number was v~ariously estimated ut from
800 900 to 100000. They were terror
stricken and flew along wildly, making
a great noise. Instead Of flying high,
they scurried along close to the ground,
and the Tapping of their wings provok-
ed a tumult that could be plainly heard
| above the roar ofthe thunder. Sudden
~ there came q vivid flash Of lightning,
followed by q terrific peal Of thunder.
At the first fash hundreds of the birds
fell crying to the ground. The storm
began to grow in its frightful intensity
and the ducks became more terrorized
each moment. There came another
flash more vivid than its predecessor,
and thousands Of the fowls fell heavily
! to the earth. Two or more flashes in
| unick Succession and the slauuhtpr WAS
even greater. Swarms Of the birds
descended rapidly, and lay in the heaps
on the ground. Their death was appar.
emily instantaneous, for there was not
even the Tapping OF a wing az they fell
The birds that escaped flew on, still
keeping up their hoarse cries. After
the storm was over great heaps OF duck'
were found OH the ground. Probably
10000 Of them were killed by the light

The Sioux commission has finally
settled down to actual business III the
direction Of securing the consent of the
Indians to the cession of Il portion of
the reservation lands under the provis-
ions Of the Sioux bill. The first general
council was held at the Rosebud agency
on the 4th inst. The council was com
posed Of several hundred chiefs, head
men and representative Indians, a num-
Der Of whom were from the Missouri
river agencies and Pine Ridge. Agent
Spencer opened the council by a brief
statement of the objects of the COM
mission. Gov. Foster addressed the tn
dams at length, and it was apparent that
they were greatly interested in what he
said. Gen. Warner read the bill. and
had it carefully Interpreted. Opinion
is divided upon the question of the re-
suit of the efforts being made by the
commissioners TO secure the required
number Of signatures, while all concede
that the chances for success are far less
flattering than they were two months
AGO.
