DIED IN A STRANGE LAND.

Identity of Robert Terrell, Murdered in
Kentucky. Revealed by His Diary.
A diary has Just been found belonging to
]. G. Ferre1l, the young man supposed to
be an Englishman, who was murdere at
Middlesborough, KY, by unknown parties,
and whose body was dragged to the rail-
road track and placed upon the rails, and
subsequently, run over by the dummy train.
Ferrell was Scotchman about 30 wears
of age, and was formerly travelling agent
for Andrew Melrose &, Co., tea and coffee
merchants, Edinburgh. The letters and
documents found in his book prove that he
was of excellent family, of good education.
and man of some means. According to
his diary, he sailed from Glasgow on the
steamer Devonja on April IL, anG after
staying some time in New York he went to
Cincinnati. He received several registered
letters containing money from home. The
envelopes are addressed "Poste Restaute.
Cincinnati. 1t is evident his coming to
Middlesborough was of recent date, as his
diary commences June 25. 1t is now
claimed that on the day he was murdered
he was seen with large roll OF notes,
which were not on his person when bis
body was found. His acquaintances
claimed that he frequently spoke of friends
or relatives he had in St. Louis, Louis
vile, Cincinnati and New York.

Coal Near Home.

Frederick Dupree, an old French squaw
man who has lived with tho Sioux on
Cheyenne river, some sixty miles from
Pierre, for about thirty years, spent a
couplo Of days at Pierre recently. The old
man is very wealthy in cattle and lands.
and has among other stock Ga his ranch a
herd of about twenty butfaloes, caught
wild some years ago, but which now roam,
at large on the ranch with the cattle. Oil
Man Duplee claims that large quantities
OF coal exist near his place, just
over the line on tho permanent
reservation, some veins being nine and ten
feet thick, cropping out along the bluffs.
he says: This coal is excellent fuel, aud
would be used by his people there had thev
not plenty of good wood" The old gentle.
man further claims that as the CHEYENNE is
navigable for large sized barges eight
months of the year, it would be more prac-
tical to open up the coal lands there, not
more than seventy miles from Pierre. and
float 1t down stream to consuming points.
than to get North Dakota coal. Bnt
whetherthis plan of Dupree's is considered
or not, the practicability of mining and
barging the North Dakota coal to Pierre
and other river points has been discussed
and will be accomplished this season.

wanted-A Harvest Hand.

South Dakota farmers are in quandary.
A cry has gone out tor labor. The fields
ore ripe with the grain and help must be
had to cut and harvest it. Such crops
were never seen before in this state. Oats
in the southern part of the state go from
20 to 100 bushels to the acre; barley 80,
rye 80 and wheat from 20 to Is. The en-
ployment agencies in the cities are re-
ceiving kilograms every day from the in
terror asking for laborers to help in the
harvest field. There must be plenty of
men in different parts of the country who
would gladly come did they but know they
were needed. The railroads are as much
interested as anybody, at least as much as
the farmers, in getting farm hands to the
state. The state manager of large har-
vesting company stated that he was re-
ceiving complaints from oil over the state
OF the scarcity of harvest hands. A trip
across the country reveals the fact that
many of the farmers had their wives and
daughters in the harvest field IN endeavors
to save the crop.

The utos Remain for the Present.

The proposition to remove the Ute Indi-
ans from their lesclvat;o on in Colorado
across the line to Utah will not probably
be acted upon at this session of congress.
Opinions differ so widely as to the advisa
billty of u change that neither branch of
congress is willing to act in the premises
without more specific information. 1t is
probable that committee, consisting Of
members Of the house and senate indian
committees, will visit Colorado after the
aaiournm- mt Of congress and decide for
themselves upon the proper course to pur-
sue. If the adjournment be delayed until
late in the autumn the committe will defer
its departure until next spring, thus caus-
ing postponement of the whole matter
for upwards of two years.

Negro Settlement in Mcxico.

1t is understood a syndicate of wealthy
men have purchased 10000 acres of ground
from the Mexican government not 100
mics from the City of Mexico, in ore OF
the many fertile valleys that abound In
that portion OF the country, and intend to
settle it with negroes from the United
States. The government has promised
protection from the natives and given
otter guarantees. j. NJ. Turner, the negro
politician aud leader, has informed the
syndicate that, should they secure the land
and offer Inducements which would clearly
show to the negroes that their condition
would be changed for the better in the new
home, he could lead a large colony and
settle the valley at short notice.

NEW SCHEME Dew IsED
THE BOTTOM OF LAKE MICHl-
GAN FOR THE WORLDS FAIR.

Such Is the Proposition Now Made by En-
terprising Chicago Ensinears-Hcw they
Would Perform the Ecat-Gencral News.
The plan of division of the worlds fair,
which will be presented by the directors to
the Illinois legislature, is said to be to
place on the land reclaimed from Lax
Michigan the art gallery, the government
building and another building-three
buildings in all-and use the present lake
front grounds as an entrance ground. At
jackson park will be placed the big ma
chipery hall, the stock show, mineral pal
ace, an underground mining exhibit, a glass
factory, and several state exhibits, oriental
villas, and such other novel and beautiful
displays as may be offered later on.
Gen. FitZsimons, the contractor, and j..
T. Dougine, first vice president of the
National Association of American lu-
ventors, have submitted new propo-
sition for utilizing the lake front.
Their scheme involves the building of
Golfer dam from Thirteenth to
Randolph street with concrete and stone
work, making it safe and water tight.
They then propose to pump out the water,
leaving basin containing about 800 acres
of land, including the 49 acres which are
now there. This will leave ground on
which the fair structure can be erected.
At the water edge the surface of the
ground will be thirteen feet below the
water surface and gradually slope tn the
shore. This new land will be approached
by ten or more subways running to the
Illinois Central tracks. The top of the
Golfer dam will be forty five feet wide, and
can be used for an extensive driveway.
The base of this structure will be eighty
feet in width. Messrs. Fitzsimmons and
Dougine say they are willing to put up the
pumping works to do the work, and give
bonds in the sum of $1,0O0.O00 for the
performance and maintenance of the same,
and will furnish the clay bed-which they
claim to be unexcelled for building pur-
poses-at cost of 81, 25O,OoO. The prop
osition will doubtless be referred to the
committee on buildings and grounds.

Lottery Mail.

1t is understood that President Harrison
is not disposed to let the matter Of legisla-
ton against the transmission of mail mat
ter for lotteries to rest in Its present state.
If there should be no indication on the
part of the house to act upon the bill re-
ported last week from the committee on
postoffices and post roads, the probabili-
ties are that the president will send mes
asge to congress calling attention to the
necessity for such legislation and the gen.
eral public demand therefor. This mes
sage, if it is prepared and forwarded as ex-
pected, will contain large amount of in
formation respecting the volume of the
matter which is transmitted to and from
the lottery through the medium of the
mails. This is now being prepared at the
postoffice departmen under the immediate
directions of Postmaster General Wana-

Weather Crop Bulletin.

Sergt. Glenn, of the United States sig
nal service, issues the following bullstin
for the past week: The temperature has
been high. with more than average sun
shine. While these conditions have been
favorable to the ripening and harvesting
of small grain in the south half of South
Dakota, north of this district they have
not been favorable. The warm weather
has been favorable to corn, but in many
localities rain 10 very much needed for this
las we'll as other late crops. Good to heavy
rains, however, are reported from Grand
Forks, Hettinger, and Stork counties, in
North Dakota, and Bon Homme, Buffalo,
Clay, Custer, Edmunds, Kingsbury. Moody,
Sanborn, Union, Walworth, and Yankton
counties, in South Dakota, some counties
having practically completed this work."

republic Of Guatemala for S5O0,0Oo in
demnity for the illegal seizure Of portion
of the cargo of the steamer Coima, which
was detained at the port of San Jose De

several hundred stands of rifles shipped

republic Of Salvador. A formal demand
for damages was sent to President BarIlas
