Burlington's streets. Parks and Lights.


Burlington's Streets, Parks and Lights.
Burlington has entertained good many
visitors during the summer and without an
exception, we think, they have expressed
thems elves in warmest terms Of admiration
of the great natural and artificial beauties
OF the city and the hospitality of its people.
There are IA few things, however which we
would like to have seen more attention paid
to, and which we hope will be vastly inn
proved before another year
While our streets are not in such bad
condition aS many places of our size they
are infinitely worse than many smaller
places and ought to be improved. 1t is
hoped that the commission now under con
sideration 10y the mayor will very soon re
port a system of improvements 10y which
the streets can be put in a condition of
permaneucy that will insure good roadways
at all seasons.
our parks have not received proper care
this year \ leading citizen who visited
Battery Park the other day with distn-
guishcd guest, complains that the park is
overgrown with weeds and has been left this
season almost wholly to the wildness of ma
ture Its condition was such that he was
ashamed Of it and would gladly have re
treated with his friend il he had not made
the discovery too late The committee on
parks should not permit such careessness.
In the matter OF street lights we are very
careless. The streets are lighted by the
almanac. When the almanac says there is
moon at the proper hour there
is no artificial light, no matter
how many clouds obscure the moon )
rays. The consequence is that on some
Of the darkest nights this season the streets
/ have been unlighted, and unfortunate citi-
zens and strangers have had to find their
way about the city by the sense Of touch
TIN, arrangement Of lighting could be car
ried out by an automaton, but why think
Ing beings cannot give some attention to
changing conditions of nature and light
. our street whenever they need light We cannot
understand. Such overs-hts and blunders
us these should be remalied in the future.

THE ARIZONA DAM DIS
ASTER.
A Courier Arrives at PhcOnlx
With Authentic News.

Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. PA cour-
ier just arrived from the lower dam
on the Hassayampa, says that tre-
mendous deiuge of water came down
the Hassayampa at about 2 o'clock
Saturday morning, and that "a men
lost their lives in the lower dam,
where they were at work. Thirty
one were whites and three chinese.
The courier reports the town of
Wickenberg all right.
The loss of life between Wicken-
berg and the dam may not be known
for some days, but it is without
doubt considerable, and the num-
ber may possibly reach 80 or 40.
The courier states that the upper
dam has undoubtedly broken and
carried the other two dams below
down with it. The loss of property
in the dams will amount to about
$sOO,OOO.

A SPOTTED FEVER EPIDEMIC.
A Little Texas Town Depopuiated by
Meningitis.

Fort Worth, Tex. Feb. 21.-The
little town of Aurora, thirty miles
from Fort Worth, is in state of ex-
element, occasioned by the appear
ance in that locality of fatal dis
ease, designated by the doctors as
meningitis or spott ed fever. Half
the citizens have fed from the vii
hge in terror. It is stated that the
nalady is regarded with SO much
horror that nurses cannot be found
for the sick nor a sufficient number
Of doctors to administer to the all
ing.
There are only three doctors in
the village, and one of them is
Frustrated. Six or seven persons
have already died of the disease,
and to-day a large number of those
who remained are down with the
disease.

The Farmers Alliance. Knights of
Labor and Farmers Mutual Benefit
association of Kansas, held a meet
ing at Fl. Scott last week and re-
solved with almost smothering So
lemnity that they would support no
one for Office who did not advocate
these views, to wit: Abolition of
national banks aud the substitution
of greenbacks for bank notes; enact
ment of laws prohibiting dealing in
margins, free coinage of silver, abo.
lition OF alien ownership of land,
all revenues shall be limited to the
needs of the government economical
~ administered.
These views enunciate a pretty
platform, but it will be a cold day
when the kansasites vote for them.
They vote the republican ticket,
blindly, stupidity, mechanically, out
there. They don't know any better.

THE RACE QUESTION.
The COlored Population Of Oklahoma
Preparing to Capture the Territory.

TOPEKA, KAs., Feb. 21.-Strong
Efforts are being made to have E.
P. McCabe named as governor of
Oklahoma. The reasons given are
that already majority of the Okla
homa population is negro, to which
Will be added as many more before
I'LL.
There seems to be consistency in
the claim, as, without doubt, the
negro population of that territory
now reaches over 10000. While
along the railroads the settlers are
white further back there are many
negro settlements which are grow
ing larger every day.
Then, too, the migration from
North Carolina to Mississippi and
Arkansas is but the first step toward
shs Cherokee strip, which will be
invadsd from all sides by negroes
when opened. This race is organic
ed as never before, determined upor
building up negro state to be ruled
by negroes alone. Even if a whit.
governor is appointed, they pro
pose to have such numbers as t.
capture the first state election eve
held, and have already a secret
oath, bound society, with headquar
tiers at Oklahoma, looking to tn
earrying out of that programme
AcCabe's appointment as governo
would add 10000 negroes to th
population of that territory in les
than five months.

ONIDA SULLY COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA, SATURDAY, JUNE IS.

R. NJ. Williams, Gen1. Agent fol
Dakota Hail Association, was in towr
last evening. He adjusted the loss o.
D. W. Hyde to his entire satisfaction
Rev. VIM. Porter, of Abba, Iowa
brother of Supt. j. M. Porter of Onida
and Nathan Porter of Hartford, arrived
Thursday evening, accompanied by
Tad, the little son of J. NJ, for two
weeks visit. He is much pleased with
the country and talks of investing in
some realty before returning home.
David Hall of Blaine township,
has been shearing his flock of $50 sheep
this week. The fleece of one eve
weighed 19 pounds and the balance
of the flock averaged III pounds each.
This certainly IS sufficient proof that
South Dakota IS a splendid sheep
country. Who can beat the 10 pound
fleece?
H. F. Pendleton, OF Grandvlew
township, was in town Thursday on
legal business. The Supreme court
rendered a decision in his favor On
Wednesday, sustaining the decision of
the lower court in the attachment
case brought against him last fall by
the Peoples Savings Bank of Mead
vile, Pa. He will probably bring an
action for damages.
Jas. d. Howard, Esq, of Summit
township, was in town, Thursday, ac-
companled by E. J. Marston and B. J.
Fillmore, for the purpose of making
final proof upon the Sc. t of Sec. Is,
that town, after holding it nearly seven
years under the homestead law. Dur
ing that time Mr.. Howard has broken
and cultivated 100 acres of the tract
and has fine grove, while his resi-
dence and other buildings are better
than those of the average Sully county
farmer. Notwithstanding the past dry
seasons he has always raised fair crops
and still has implicit faith in the
country.

There have been opposing school
