FoRTY-FoUR DAYS AT SEA.
Tempestuous Voyage of an Ocean
Liner

Liner.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 13.-"In twenty
years experience can truthfully say 1
never saw such weather as has pre-
vailed on the Atlantic ocean, spake
Capt. r. D. Wilson, of the steamer Dor
mia, arrived yesterday from Glasgow.
Capt. Wilson SAID he thought many
time he would never reach port. He
was forty-four days on the passage
from Glasgow. From Jan. to Feb. 6
with seas which swept the YES
sci from port to starboard and
from stem to stern. A wave
struck the ship that swept clean
over the bridge forty feet from the
water line. A hencuop, on the upper
deck with quantity of chickens in it,
was torn from its faStenings, carried
high in the air, and the last seen of it
was on the creast Of the great wave,
the chickens cawing loudly. On the
afternoon of Jan. 10 great storm pre-
vailed. James Laurie. the fifteen-year-
old mess room boy, was going forward
with mess for the crew when hugh
wave swept over the steamer board
rail. The boy made desperate at
tempt to save himself, but another
great wave rolled from starbOard to
port, and forced him through the mar
row ratings which had been doubled
to provide for just such an emergency.
The little fellow was a native of elias
gov, where mis- parents live. Not over
three hours before little Laurie had
saved the life of the chief steward, E.
II. Elliott. Mr.. Elliott was struck py
an awful wave, and was half way
through the amid-ship-port rail when
the little fellow and Alexander Boyle,
the cook, pulled him back. The stew
ard and cook were deeply affected
while speaking of the little fellows
heroism. The steward received a Sc
we're cash over the left eye. The yards
of the main mast were taken down,
they being in a dangerous condition.
TO add to Capt. Wilson's misfortunes
one of the propeller's blades broke.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. 13.-The
PrOhibitionists are fighting among
themselves oyer the bill. The City En-
forcement league met last evening and
held long session, lasting until early
this morning. A set of resolutions were
passed denOuncing, in vigorous terms,
the. prohibition bill, and instructing
their president, ". j. Skillman. to re-
PAIR to Pierre and oppose the bill with
all his power. The objection of the
league is to the Young amendment,
which was accepted by the house. and
the senate in ali probability will also
accept. Rev. Skillman is the

He is vigorous in his denunciations,

WONDERFUL COMPASS.

That Will Unerringiy Locate
Water-COl. Drake, of st. Paul,
Interested.
Special to the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Feb. 13.--The
witch hazel water theory in a new form
has struck South Dakota in all its in
tensity, and the latest victim to fall
down and be convinced is none other
than Col. j. Ii. Drake, Of st. Paul. The
colonel is well known to most of the
prominent men of South Dakota as we'll
as Minnesota. He is great friend Of
Frank Pettigrew, and the man who is a
friend of Pettigrew in this country is
better than the man who can open q
jack pot with royal flush. c. z. Sher-
wood, editor of the De Smet News, ar
rived in Sioux Falls on Monday, carry
ing in his Gladstone grip silk bag and
fish line. In the elk bag was bottle
tightly corked and filled with a Silvery-
looking compound. What the silvery
compound is no one knows but
Sherwood. He has applied for a
patent, and calls the silk bag,
the fish line, the bottle and its
contents, an electromagnetic rotary
mining compass. Calls were made by
and experiments made of the wonderful
testing power of the compass. He
claimed he could tell just where water
was located, how far below the surface
1t was and where an artesian flow could
be found. Not only this but. but he
could tell where minerals such as gold
and silver could be found. Among
those who witnessed the the tests was
Col. Charles E. Baker. local manager of
the Drake works, of this city. He De-
come interested in the experiments
made, and asked for an explanation.
Mr. Sherwood stated that the compound
was the result of thirty years study by
HIS father, and the fluid was so sensi-
TIED as to detect the location of water
I'D its vicinity. In the experiments
made the fish line was tackled to hori-
Zontal bar, and the bag and fluid hung
on the end of the line. Mr.. Sherwood
stated that by drawing a circle at an
angle of 45 degrees to the first line the
reaching power of the compass was out
lined. A pail full of water was taken
and placed on the circle. The bottle
began moving forward and backward
The pail was moved further in and the
sentiZed chemical moved faster than
ever. When the pail was placed under
the compass the silk bag took to circu-
lating about instead of travelling in
forward line. So surprised was Col.
Baker with the results of the expert
mentS that he telegraphed for Col. j.
II. Drake, of st. Paul. who came OH the
first train. The compass was taken to
large field east of the city and the To-
cation of water determined to the salts
faction of Col. Drake, who owned the
land upon which the experiments were
made. Col. Drake gave orders to have
we'll sunk. and has the utmost faith in
SherWood's wonderful compass.

North Dakota, Utterly Desti-
tute.
Special to the Globe.
DULUTH. Mimi, Feb. 1S.-H. Kelly,
of Crary, Ramsey county, N. D., is here
seeking laid for destitute settlers. He
is the accredited representative of the
people stricken for two successive
seasons with an almost entire loss of
crops. The Ramsey county crop for 1887
was 1,175,00O bushels; in 1888 it had
fallen to 36S, 900 bushels. but last year 1T
reached the actual starvation figures of
los, 100 bushels. The following shows
the population that will have to be sus-
tanned: Population, 800: horses, 1851;
mules, 244; cattle, 1852: sheep, $50;
hogs, SIS. The grain sold produced
S61 200, or $40 for years support
of each person in the limits
of the county. The commissioners esti-
mate that !, 200 people have nothing to
live on and require everything until
next seasons crop. They have no seed
grain, no food for their stock, no money
to buy clothing, and can obtain no
credit, as merchants cannot carry them.
Seven hundred sacks of -four have been
issued and there are to-day number
who are living entirely without meat.
In the Second district there are sixtv-
six families on the destitute list. and
they are supplied every Friday with
whatever the commissioners can scrape
up. Mr.. Kelley recites O number of
cases of restitution that have arisen
under his personal observation.

THE sioux LANDS.

The great feature IN the opening Of
the Sioux reservation is the removal of
the barrier between the main portion of
the state in area and population and the
Black Hills. By the present travelled
routes the Legislators from the Black
Hills have journey of some 800 miles
through other states to reach the capt.
tai. The distance by the roads TO be
built direct from Pierre will reduce the
mileage 10 less than 200 miles. Provls-
ion will be made in the bill for the eX-
tension of two of the great railroad sys-
tens to the Hills, and it is presumed
that work on them will be commenced
this year. The opening up of the reser-
walton will make neighbors of the isol-
ated region with the rest of the state,
and tend to unity the interests Of the
several sections. The towns of the Mis-
souri, slope are quite as much involved
in the good fortune to enSue from
the introduction of white civilization
as the mining region to the west. The
advantage is by no means to be measured
by the development Of the new lands,
although that will be considerable.
There is one-third as much land in the
Rapid City land district inviting settle
ment as in the part of the reservation
now opened. Much of the land in each
is similar, and the impulse given to
migration and settlement will be favor
ably felt to the western portion of the
state. Many will visit the Sioux lands,
and turn back to those quite as good in
Eastern Dakota and Minnesota, for it
should not be overlooked that there are
regions in this state that are quite as in
viting 10 settlers as are to be found
in any agricultural section. A
considerable portion of the Sioux
lands Will be rapidly taken up by home
seekers, and towns will grow up, but
perhaps not always just where the j0st-
ling spectators would have them. The
railroad interests will have the most to
say in the matter. Not much definite
information is had as to the quality of
the new lands, but it is generally I'M
derstOod that about One-half the area is
quite as well adapted to agriculture as
that east of the Missouri river, and
the rest is excellent for grazing The
Indians did not have much occasion to
test the agricultural resources of the
country. There are, no doubt, mineral
resources that will prove valuable in
portions Of the yet UNEMPLOYED lands.
Settlers can only take claims under the
homestead act, and will have to pay the
S1.25 an acre besides residence for five
years.
