tional capital. Here is the way it starts
off:
"Senator Moody was IN the chair this
afternoon presiding over the senate when
q message came from the president. He
directed the clerk to open it, and it proved
to be a message from the president recon-
mending congress to pass a bill concur
ring in the promises made by the Sioux
commission last summer. Senator Moody,
from the committee on pensions, reported
favorably the bill granting au increased
pension to Robert Milroy of 500 per
month. Senator Moody introduced bills
for the relief of Morris Appel. of Penning-
ton county, S. D., in the sum of S125;
Henry Bradley; Ynnkton county. S. D.. i'll
the sum of 81 1880, and John stnnage,

Moody bill creating the special divisions
of the South Dakota district court passed
the senate to-day, and provides for district
court meetings. at Pierre, Deadwood and
Sioux Falls. while the circuit court meets
at Sioux Falls and Deadwood."

is a fssmer at his plow and in the right
background a herd Of cattle and a field of
corn. Between the right and the left di-

AN APPEAL FOR AID.


Help Asked for the Destitute in the
Dr"ughtN Regions of North Dakota.
H. L. Helgeson, state commissioner of
agriculture of North Dakota, has issued an
address to the public explaining the situa-

making an appeal for assistance. He saws

Elements date back only two, three

shape financially, but her resources are
not available for the present emergency,
and the generosity of the people of sister
states will be appreciated. In counties
where restitution prevails there are not
less than 5000 people dependent wholly or

The Payments We're Made.

A sensation was caused among the state
officials by the Bismarck special recently
sent out that South Dakota had defaulted
in payment of the January interest OF the
agricultural college bonds. The coupons
were liouidated by Treasurer Smith as
soon as they We're presented. The report
was probably caused by the fact that the
holders did not ct first send them to Pierre
for payment, but TO ex.Territorial Treas
urer Bailey at Bismarck, VINO has gone,
the Offices Of Dakota territory being no
more, and they were sent there by mistake.
The officials at Pierre attribute the report
il part to the jealousy displayed toward
this state by North Dakota.

captors, who went duck-hunting, and
camo very near being carried of by the
venerable saurian.
The alligator was captured in ALI

following circumstances: DR.. j. Eddy,
of Fall River, Mass; Frank Eddy, os
Boston, and Usher Parsons, Of Neu

who arc with the Parsons party as Mr.
Parsons guests at Warsaw, were duck
hunting, and ono Of tho party shot O.

fowl, when the alligator suddenly
crawled out and disputed the right of
possession. DIR. Eddy, after hasty
glance at tho hugo fellow, concluded the
alligator, by tho right of eminent do
main, ought to have tho duck, and, 1t Is.
said, began to increase the distance be-
tween himself and the wicked-looking
saurian.
Tho Bostonian and young Parsons at
first thought were OF the same opinion,
and fer awhile it looked as II the alli-
gator would have it all his own way,
but before it reached tho water with the
duck, courage rcturned,to the party, and
one Of them put q rife ball in the
saurian's mouth, which stunned it, and
before it recovered consciousness 1t was
made helpless prisoner, taken on
board the yacht and brought in triumph

be none the worse for the shot, except
that Il is in captivity. The trio of sports

HOW BABY WAS SAVED.
The Story OF snow-slidc Among til.
Mountains Of Nevada.

The Story OF q snow-slide Among the
Mountains Of Nevada.
A short time ago, says the Virginia
(Nev.) Enterprise, was the anniversary
Of o snow-slide which came down Mount
Davidson in 1867, sweeping away two or
three houses and killing Richard
Northcy. Tho slide occurred at point
on the eastern face of the mountain,
above the old Halo e. Norcross hoist
ing works.
In 1875, tho 18th Of January there was
o second avalanche at the same place,
which killed two men and buried
woman and child. Tho woman and
tho child were, however, dug out Of tho
snow uninjured. The woman was pro-
tectcd by portion OF her wrecked
home-a franc structure.
The house was swept from its founda-
ton in such way as to leave the lower
floor intact. Tho woman was first.
rescued. Sho ct onoe began to cry out
for hcr child, of which nothing was to
be seen about tho wrecked house.
Soon some one said: "I hear u child"
All listened, and several persons as
sorted that they heard the faint cry of a
child, and agreed that 1t con,o from
abovc-up on tho side OF the mountain
All in that direction appeared TO be q
compact mass of snow Men were soon
scattered over the mountain slope near
where 1t was supposed tho several
wrecked buildings had stood. Tho
faint cries Of child were heard, but IT.
was several minutes before the search
ers could agrco whence the sounds
came.
At last tho sounds were so we'll To-
Gated that digging began. Tho snow
was SO compact that 1t was difficult to
remove IL with shovels, and the workers
dared not use picks. therefore thcro
was time for q big crowd to collect and n
great excitement to grow while tho dig
ging was in progress.
The cries Of tho child constantly be-
came more distinct, and at last, after
four feet Of snow had been dug through,
the top OF cooking-stovo was reached.
The voice of the child was then SO
plainly heard that several voices cried
out: "It is in the stove! The child is
in tho oven of tho stove!"
Soon q hole had been made beside tho
stove, and q man, thrusting down his
hand, said that tho oven door Of the
stove on that side was closed. Exami-
nation soon showed that tho opposite
door was also closed. The mystery Of
tho whereabouts of tho child was not
solved until the workers had dug down
to the floor Of the house. 1t was then
found that the child was beneath tho
stove, whence it was hauled out safe
and sound.
1t had doubtless been crawling about
the floor when tho avalanche came, and
at tho FIRST rush of snow was pushed
under the stove, which fortunately
stood on blocks several inches in height.
That child is probably still alive and
in tho city. If SO, it Is now about fif-
teen years Of age and too big to be again
saved in the same way.
