Probably the one thing that has
pleased the people Of the west more
than any one thing during the past
week, was to read in the daily papers
of the killing Of Sitting Bull and his
son. y This notorious old Indian
chief has been thirsting for the blood
Of the whites even since the Custer
massacre. The killing occurred
while Sitting bull was being arrested
by the Indian police. After he was
arrested his followers tried to recap
ture|him from the police, five ofwhom
lost their lives during the skirmish.
The death of this scheming old ras-
cal will probably put damper on
the rest of the Indians and may be
the means of quieting them down or
it may stir them up to deeds of
violence.

e WARRINGTON. ~,

In letter from Rev. H. p. James,
formerly of this place, we find many
items of interest. which we take
pleasure in publishing:
COLFAx, WASH, Dec 10, 1890.
An item in the last Courier,

had tumbled : to % below
zero, sent an involuntary chill through
my corpus But, on recalling that clear
skies aud the purest of ozone usually
accompany such a tumble. ceased
shaking and began to wish we might,
In some way. exchange our dark, damp
days for some Of the North Dakota
kind.
The farmers, however; are satisfied
with the weather US it is, for they have
been unable to do much plowing and
seeding on account of the dry weather
which has prevailed since June till
within two weeks. They are now
hustling things.
On one or two occasions only has the
ground been frozen to the depth of an
inch or SO. No snow has fallen, and
it is difficult to realize that this is near
the middle of December. The wheat
yield of Whitman county this season
has been phenomenal. OF course ex-
aggerated reports have gone out, some
wild estimates placing the crop at
u, ,OOO, 900 bushels, which is too large by
several millions.
The acreage of the county is about
!. 300, 900. A conservative estimate of
the acreage under cultivation would be
in the vicinity of 100000. The average
yield is conceded by all who are &C
quainted with the facts to be nearer 35
than 80 bushels. Suppose 1t to be only
80; this would give a total yield of
100000. There have been marketed
in Colfax alone, this season, $4,000
of wheat. This is about two.thirds of
the crop tributary to Colfax, which is
only one of over twenty shipping points
in Whitman county.
There is one method of computation
that is, perhaps, as reliable as any other,
which makes the total yield of cereals
of all kinds not much less than IL, ! 900, 900
1t is as follows: Over one hundred
threshing crews have been at work in
the county on an average of two and
one-half months, which have threshed
at least 500 bushels a day. Multiply
1850 by 100 add again by 65 the, num-
ber of days of work, and the result is
9, ,750, 900 bushels of gram threshed IN
the county for the season. This prob.
ably a very low estimate, as some of the
threshing crews are still at work, and
their number was considerable over
one hundred. OF individual Yields of
wheat, oats and barley, hardly dare

One of the first bills that should
become law by the votes of the
members Of the coming legislature
is the one providing for the Australian
system of balloting. If such law
was in force it would do away with
all this wire-pulling and corruption
and there would be very few election
contests. Under this law a voter
can go into a voting place and select
the names of the candidates he wants
and vote for them without having
fifty or hundred politicians pull
ing at his coat tails trying to get him
to vote different from his original in
tentions. That is about the way it
is done now, and change is abso-
lutelY necessary. It would purify
politics and give every voter a fair
chance to vote as he pleases. Let
us have the Australian system. The
Farmers Alliance platform calls for
it, and as the farmers have the legis-
lature, there can be no doubt as to
the success of the bill if introduced.

1t is rumored that bill is to be
introduced in the coming legislature
to attach part Of Steele county to
Griggs County, take the balance
of Steele and part of Trail and
create new county and make May
vile the county seat. That would
be fine scheme, now wouldn't it.
The people of Steele county do not
want anything of the kind. neither do
the people of Griggs, and it certain
ly would be a shabby trick to serve
on Steele county should thing of
this kind be done-but then, they
can't do it, don't you know.

Death Of Senator Beck

The Baltimore and Potomac depot,
at Washington, May 4, was the scene
of a sad calamity, when at O'Clock
Senator Beck of Kentucky dropped
dead of paralysis of the heart.
Senator Beck had just arrived on
the limited express from New York
and was accompanied by his daughter,
Mrs. Goodloe. He got off the train
with the rest of the passengers and
walked with his daughter through the
gate to the station proper. He seemed
to walk with an effort and to breathe
with labor, but these symptoms were
the usual accompaniments of exer-
ton with him for some months past.
After passing into the station the
Senator and his daughter were joined
by his private secretary, who had
brought carriage to take him home.
A few words were exchanged, when
the Senator suddenly turned pale,
and with the remark, "If old issue"
fell into the arms Of his compan-
ions. They could not support his
weight, and he dropped to the floor,
where he swooned away. His daugh-
ter screamed for help. Willing hands
were numerous, as the station was
crowded at the time: and the limp
and helpless body was borne into
the office of the station master, about
! 20 feet away. Great excitement en-
sued, and although it was apparent
that the Senator was dead, half doz-
en- messengers were Immediately dis
patched for physicians, and all the
remedies at hand were applied, but to
no effect. DIR. Chamberlain was the
first physician to arrive, and he was
soon followed by DR.. Wells and others
but there was nothing for them to do
except to examine the body to deter
mine the cause of death. A superb
cial examination only was possible al
the time, but this was sufficient to
satisfy the physicians thrt death re-
suited from paralysis of the heart
The news was telegraphed to the
Capitol, and subsequently spread like
widfire to all sections of the city
