night. David HOWE, son of James HOWE,
a prominent citizen, has been tor some
time a resident of Omaha. Before his de-
parture he was very attentive to
a young lady named Miss Bes-
sic Lear. Word came the early
part of the week that Howie was seriously
i'll at Omaha of the grippe. On Wednes-
day Miss Lear left her home, telling her
parents that she was going to spend the
night with friend. On Thursday letter
came to Mr.. Lear postmarked on the road
between Dubuque and Omaha, which con-
tanned some very startling yet not unpleas-
ing statements 1t was from his daughter,
Miss Bessie. She said that she was on her
way to the bedside of her husband, David
HOWE; that she and Mr. HOWE were hus.
band and wife, and had been married for

They were badly shaken up, but otherwise
uninjured. Three cars caught fire and were
burned up. General Superintendent Nelson

This would be terrible blow to the
pride of any other man than Boulanger.
TO him, however, the suggestion has
the charm of novelty without being
offensive. Several years ago, when
Boulanger was first posing for public
recognition in Paris, and when he was
literally supplied with funds by the
believers in the man of destiny" it
was his custom to visit the cafes and
treat the ouvrier5 indiscriminately to
wine and setting up the
drinks" as New Workers would style
IT. He soon began to be remarked for
his generosity in this respect. No
matter who the company were, or how
numerous, le general invariably in

FREE ENTRY TO SETTLERS.
Proposition to Give the Sioux Lands
to Settlers Instead Of Selling them.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram,
AS soon as the president sends word to
congress that he has issued the prOClama-
ton opening the Sioux reservation to set
Element, Senator Pcttigrcw will introduce a
bill which will have all important bearing
on the subject. 1t is practically an amend
ment to the act of the last congress which
provided for the negotiations with the
Sioux, and is designed to give the lands to
homestcaders instead Of selling them. Tn
der the act referred to the lands are open to
settlement on the same conditions as any
public lands, after the payment to the In
dians of $1.25 per acre for those taken the
first year, and smaller amounts thereafter
The bill contemplates the payment of this
money by the government instead Of by the
settler, thereby carrying the terms of the
old act 50 far as the interests of the Indians
are concerned, and at the same time giving
free entry to settlers on complying with the
homestead laws. This will simply be in
line with the governments past action i'll
opening Indian reservations from time to
Tune for in most, if not all instances, the
government. rather than the settler, has
paid the red man. The presidents prOcla-
nation is ready to be signed and the Off,
cial act may come at any hour.

Settlers Cannot Take Land on the

WASHINGToH, Special Telegram
President Harrison, in his proclamation
opening the Sioux reservation, will prob
ably take pIecautiOn to save what he be-
lieye5 would he a calamity to many intend
ing settlers by fixing time when settlement
may be made. 1t is not known at what
date he will allow settlers to take up the
lands, but there is an intimation that some
time in the spring has been decided upon.
The president wishes TO declare it opened
before the time fixed by law for the expira-
ton of the treaty, and at the same time
save settlers the disasters they might meet
in going upon the land in wid-wintcr.
He will, therefore, proclaim the pro-
visions of the treaty complied with,
and fix a time when settlers
may go upon the lands The South Da-
kOta members are anxious to have the
proclamation issued early, so that they
may secure legislation on several matters.
They want to place Pierre in one of the
land districts and Chamberlain in the
other. They want to establish these land
offices and appoint the officers. There are
several minor matters that will need atten,
ton in congress and in the interior depart
ment as soon as the proclamation is once
issued, and the South Dakotans are in a
hurry to get the business cleared UP. If
Representative Gitford's bill allowing the
location of Sioux scrip upon the reservation
becomes law the tOwnsitc trouble will be
ObViated, and the man who has q town site
can secure his scrip and title TO the Lands,
1t will prove wise provision, inasmuch as
it will enable some good towns to be built
where they are needed.

day Mr. Moe living six miles southeast 4
this place, went down his we'll, which
about thirty-fve feet deep, to clean it out,
his brother and two others remaining on
top. After waiting a few minutes and
hearing nothing from the one in the we'll
the brother was lowered down to sec what
was the matter. When he had got about
two-thirds of the way down he shouted to
pull up, but when he was within two feet of
the top he fell out of the bucket to the bot
tom of the well. Both bodies were recov-
cred. One leaves wife and one child and
the other wife and five children. This is
the first case of the kind in this section.

WAS KNOWN IN ST. PAUL.

Judge c. L. Flandrau was personally ac-

he to a PIONEER PRESS reporter last evening,
"Only few moments ago / was talking
about Walker Blaine, and the very next
bit of news l hear is that heis dead, Judge
Flaudrau knew young Blaine when he
first came to st Paul in 1872 and during
the time he was in the law office of Hon. G.
X. Davis. About q year later he
formed law partnership with
Tilden R. SeImes a son-in-law of Judge
FIandrau, under the name of Selmes &
Blaine and occupied an office on Third

Washington and remained about year,

dent Arthur he had a commission to visit
South America, and upon his return he was
appointed United States attorney before the
commission appointed to adjust the French
spoliation claims. Judge Flandrau speaks
very highly of Blaine, and at the time of
his residence in ST. Paul he was one of the
leaders in literary and social circles.

Il beg of you to do so. After the

it was necessary for me to be econom-

But, however interesting this con-
versation may have appeared to the
General NJ. Chiucholle and Paul Nadar,
l think we have had quite enough of
it. Devoid of ideas, only one current
runs through it all, and that is the
mania for advertisement at any price.
However the supplement OF the
