New YORK, Dec. 13.-Bofore Surro-

commenced in the contest over the will

Eva Hamilton, who was pardoned from
the New Jersey penitentiary by Albeit
two weeks ago, and who, it will be re-
%mcmbered, met his death by drowning
while hunting in Montana in October
last. The question at issue is the valid

not present in person owing to the fact
that Judge MARITIME has not yet decided

indictment found against her for con-

and Assistant District Attorney Jerome
have advised the dismissal of the com
plant, and have intimatcd that, owing
to the death of Mr.. Hamilton, who was
the proper complainant, no case can be
made out. 1t is probable that after the

News in Brief,

JOHNNY LENT, the s-ycar-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Lentz, residing just
north Of Ashton, was accidentally run
over by the north bound Milwaukee
train one evening last week, causing the
loss of one foot. The brakeman on the
rear coach heard some one scream when
about half q mile north of the station.
He pulled the bell rope, stopped the train
and went back. The little fellow had
dragged himself away and had taken off
a shoe to ascertain the extent of his in
juries. The trainmen picked him up and
took him back to the depot, thence to
DR.. Reeds Office, where Drs. Reed and
Anderson amputated the limb just below
the knee. The little fellow could give
no Ineligible account of the affair ex-
cept that. he said, some n pushed him,
causing his foot to slip under the wheels
in his efforts to protect himself.
BROWN county during the last year
has furnished 1000 tons of free coal to
people unable to buy it. Tho prospects
are that a still larger amount will be
supplied during the year to come.
WEDNESDAY was bullion day in the
Black Hills. The Caledonia, Highland,
Homestake and Deadwood-Terra shipped
out seven bars of gold, valued at about
300, 900. This was the regular semi
monthly clean up.
THERE are n OF. two men travelling
through South Dakota selling evergreen
trees for which the victim agrees to pay
$40 per 1000, and the note turns up in
some bank to be a 800 note. E
a scRApPING match occurred in Dud-
ley last week, in which an old man was
badly injured about the head by the
frequent application of a chair in a sec
ond party's hands.
The profits of legitimate mining for
the precious metals is we'll illustrated
by the fact that for the past eleven
months dividends have been paid to the
amount of $~11,470,415, Of which sum the
Homestake paid Sl37 900. the Caledonia
$50, 900 and the Monitor 81, 500. In adj
dition to which there are a number of
close corporations, which give no pub
licity to their business.-Dead,Oo0d Times.

He Does Not Ascribe the Late Defeat
Largely to Importers.
Boston, Dec. 15.-Ex-Assistant Post
master-General Clarkson, in an inter-
view OF national politics, said he did not
ascribe to big importers the %extraordin-
airy large share in the defeat of the re-
publicans at the recent election.
Speaking of the election bill Clarkson
said he was in favor of it, but there were
no assurances it would pass, as some
senators who had speculations at stake
would let the bill be defeated through
delay.
On the prospects Of financial legisla-
ton Clarkson thought there was a ma
jority in each house in favor of free
coinage. He thought a revision of the
banking lay was needed in favor of the
farmer, and said the Farmers alliance
has come to stay until some modification
Of the banking system is made.

Land for Indian Children.

PIERRE, Dec. s.-The United States
land commissioner has just sent a long
decision to Special indian Agent Nor
vile, at this point, the effect of which is
that children of Indian parents can talk
up land separately from their parents,
and that they are not obliged to live
upon the land. Also children of mixed
blood stand upon the same footing as
full hloOds.

Exaggerated DestItuuon Stories.

HURON, Dec. s.-The letter of Lieut.
Gov. Fletcher Regarding existing desti-
tutioh in Brown county, seems to hatB
been tho signal for a cry Of destithtion
from other localities. Everybody knows
that South Dakota, as a whole, was not
with a full crop last harvest. In
many localities, notably in the Big Sioux
valley, the crop was very abundant
In other localities not quite so much wa.
harvested, while a few sections garnereG
but a very small. quantity. Yet the cry
of dcstltution is again sent out from.
nearly every part of tho state and ap
peals made to eastern cities for assist
ancc. From what can be heard it is
quite evident that some of the appeals
are from self-constituted committees
and without the sanction OF county
boards. 1t is also evident that in counties
where aid is really needed tho county
commissioners have taken the matter in
hand and are preparing to furnish ali
the relief necessary. Arrangements have
been made with the railroad companie:
by which coal may be had at reduced
rates, and should feed for stock DO re
CURED it will be provided. Each count,
appears to be entirely ablc to provid'
for the destitute within its borders.

The Smallpox Epidemic in Guatemala.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. ia sad record
of mortality in Guatemala was brought
to this port yesterday by the arrival of
the Pacific Mail steamer San Juan.
Among the arrivals was Joseph McMul.
lin, a newspaper man from New York.
Tho republic of Guatemala, he said. is
rbesieged by smallpox. The disease
has made fearful progress recently. He
says that in seven weeks there were
1000 deaths throughout the country and
the number at last accounts was on the
increase. But ;;ew sanitary precautions
were taken when the epidemic first up,
peared. The result was that the people
had been moved down by hundreds. In
the city of Guatemala dozens of deaths
occurred daily. Contrary to the dis.
patches last night no cholera is reported
from Guatemala.

some 100000 acres to select, 10000 acres
of which will DO secured in the Black

Sonally visited and examined

town, Yankton or Mitchell land districts
can be had, but there is plenty of vacant
land in the other districts. Fortunately
there Is d clause in the enabling act,
hndBf which South Dakota became d
state, which provides that 'indemnity
lands may be taken wherever public
lands in tho state can be found, without
reference to districts" In selecting the
lands mentioned Mr.. Parker followed
the instructions of a joint resolution
passed by the legislature last winter.
1t IS very probable that when the at.
tehtioh Of the secretary, to whom all ap.
peal from MI: Groff's decision will at
once be taken, is called to this ciausc he
will reverse the commissioners decision
and permit the lands chosen by Mr..
Parker to go to record as indemnify

A Worlds Fair in 1901

Congress might get point about worlds
fairs from the people of Jamaica. 1t has
been in session nearly four months, and has
not yet decided whether to hold worlds
fair in 1892 or 1898, or, in fact, whether or
not to hold one at all. The people seem to
want one, to commemorate the 400th ami
versary of the discovery of this great coun-
try, and as 1892 is the only year appropriate
for fair for such purpose, it looks very
much as if congress were frittering
away valuable time. Let the con-
gressmen turn their eyes to sleepy
old jamaica" as that island
is sometimes called, and learn lesson in
quick determination and rapid work. The
other day the colonial council decided that
Jamaica should hold a worlds fair, and that
it should be held in 1891, beginning Jan. 81.
The announcement took the rest of the
world by surprise, for, aside from those
more or less directly interested in the under
taking, no one knew that Jamaica contem-
plated doing anything of the kind; and the
surprise was the greater because less than
year was given for preparation.
Kingston, the capital of the island, has been

broken for the main building, the plans for
which have been completed. The architect
is native of Kingston, and it is announced
that the building, which will be of iron and
glass; will be constructed by sections in New
York, each section being shipped as soon as
it is completed, aud the New York Herald
furnishes the interesting statement that a
Savannah lumber firm has been engaged to
furnish Georgia pine for the outside booths
and for other buildings. 1t is expected
that besides the West Indian islands and
South America, Great Britain and other
European countries and the United States
will make extensive exhibits. The EXPOSE
tion will not, of course, be on the grandest
SCALE but it will be highly creditable, and
will be the first ever gotten up on such short
notice

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune says: GA well-known
member of the Georgia delegation in the
House of Representatives went into the
parlor of the Metropolitan hotel while q
hop was going on to look on few minutes
at the dancers. The enterprising CORE
spondent of a Georgia paper saw him, and
forthwith telegraphed the fact that Mr..
Blank was at the dance. A few days later
an eight-page letter came from an offended
constituent, who informed the congressman
that he was paid big salary to come here
and work, and not to go to dances. This is
fact and not romance, though such a
statement sounds more as if it belonged to
the last instead of the present century. "
This sounds very much like the story that
has been gotten up number of times be-
fore at the expense of an imaginary Geor-
gia congressman. In fact, it is an old story
that bobs up regularly every two years
just about this time. 1t has become super
animated, and should be placed upon the
"broken down" list

The virtual censure which the Senate ad-
ministered to Senator Call the other day
was undeServed. Senator Call undoubtedly
said practically what he claimed he did
about Senator Chandler, and in putting the
sentence in better shape for the Congress
sionaL Record he only did what every other
senator has done at one time or another.
Speeches are very rarely printed in the
Record just as they were delivered. Senator
Calls denunciation of Chandler was severe,
but it was just, and, being just. the repub-
hcan senate did not want it to go upon the

A few weeks ago the Philadelphia Press
said editorially that Gen. J. G. Armstrong,
union veteran, was going to lecture in
that city on the southern race question, and
that he knew as MUCH about that question
as any man living. 1t urged its readers to
go out and hear him. Gen. Armstrong's
views, as given to the public, were not in
tluenced by politics or sectional feeling.
Among other things, he said: THE northern
people cannot understand the peculiar rela-
tions of the negroes to the whites of the
south. What would you do if you had this
great preponderance of negroes among you?
You don't know. No one can know till it
has been tried" Ever since, the Press has
maintained a dead silence with regard to
Gen. Armstrong. 1t expected a political
harangue, and it got an honest expression
of views based upon impartial investiga-
