RESOLUTIONS Adopted at Huron.

Resolutions Adopted at Huron.
Following are the resolutions passed by
the meeting Of representatives from the
drought stricken counties of South Dakota,
held in Huron last week:
Resolucd, That we ind that there are twenty
five counties applying for help through their
representatives in which there are many farm
ers entirely destitute of feed for their work
animals and of sufficient seed grain to fully
seed their cultivated land and some must be
furnished with the necessities OF life before
another harvest. The funds already donated
will not be sufficient to fully supply the above
wants.
2. That we condemn any newspaper, public
or private individual who for any purpose what
ever represents that there is no restitution and
saw to our countrvmen thai the story has not
been fully told. And while thanking the
benevolent and charitable for contributions
heretofore given there is still great need of Us
sistance.
3. Realizing that the railroads, more particu-
larly tho Chicago & Northwestern and Chicago,
Milwaukee g. st. Paul, have not only given free
freight on thousands of bushels of grain and
GOAL, but have contributed literally OF money
and supplies for the relief of our destitute citi-
zens. and feeling that it cannot be expected or
asked that they should continue to give free
freight indefinitely therefore,
RESOLVED. That we extend to the management
OF the Chicago g. Northwestern, Chicago, Min

apolis g. Omaha, Sioux City & Pacific. Illinois

Burlinton e. Missouri in Nebraska. Burlington,
Cedar Rapids IL Northern, and NIL other railroads
which have furnished FREQ transportation for
our relief, our heartfelt thanks for all they have
done for us, and we will not ask them to con-
tinue to give Tree freight on grain or seed after
the Goth of April, 1880.
A. We heartily indorse tie COURSE pursued by
Gov. Mellctte in our behalf and to him we ten
der our sincere thanks and also to the mem
bers Of the several committees and persons who
have spent literally of their time and money
for our relief.

Final Pow-wow and Dance.

OF the Sioux was held Saturday night
about i've miles from Pierre over on the
reservation. The Sioux have been gather
ing for several days and have been having
q big meeting, which was changed to q
great dance. These dances have been held
at regular intervals, but this is to be the
last one held on the reservation before the
tribes leave for their new quarters. The
assembly was q monster one and is said
to have been the largest gathering of the
Sioux that has been held for many years.
All the noted chiefs were there.
A big discussion was held as to whether
the Indians had better take up lands in
severalty or all go back to the lands which
are left them. John Grass, the noted
Sioux orator, made IN earnest and touch
ing speech, in which he urged the Sioux to
be men and not squ0ws, to take the land
and make their living.
Sitting Bull and the rest of the chiefs
took the opposite side of the question.
Sitting Bull expressed his hatred Of the
government and the whites and said only
squaws should work and he and his small
band would still take their provisions from
the government.
The result of the meeting was a decision
not to take up lands, but to go back on the
new reservation and let the government
continue issuing rations. Only a few
squaw men and half breeds will go to farm
ing.
Thunderstruck Indians.
When Big Star and 9 few of the Lower
Brule Indians were in Sioux Falls they
were taken into Lacey Bros. Office and
allowed to speak to the p%honograph. They
we're thunderstruck when the machine be-
gan to send back the same message they
had sent the Great Father q few minutes
before. They looked upon the machine as
a mystery beyond their understanding and
were inclined to think they were holding
communion with the Great Spirit of the
happy hunting ground. One Of the In
dams sang a song and laughingly i'm
pressed his voice upon the plastic wax
band. When it was repeated it was all
the boys could do to hold the redskin back
from Jumping out of the window.

Precious Metals and Stones.

Professor Charles Longuemare of the Bullion returned yesterday from Washington and reports that min Ing and silver and lead question be- ing taken care of very satisfactorily. Senator Stewart has introduced a bill which the Professor thinks will go through allowing aliens to in- vest capital and deve!ope mines in the Territories. This has been a serious drawback to this city here tofore, as foreigners could not work the mines of Territories, but could invest in the states, and we being so much dependent on the Territo- ries of New Mexico and Arizona, if the bill passes it will do considera- ble for this city. The silver lead ore question is also on a very satis- factory basis just now, notwith- standing the Windom ruling His own party are not all in favor of it, a large number of prominent repub- lican papers being openly against it. The late silver convention has done a vast amount of good also. It has been indorsed by a number of prominent associations. The Professor on his return found that very valuable present had been sent to him from Mexico. The
 present was a box containing sever al precious minerals among which
 are the following Topaz, sapphires, transparent sapphires, emeralds, ruby, spinel ruby, garnet opals, transparent quartz, amethyst and
 and turquoise. He values this present very highly, and we must say that the minerals make hand some showing, most of them being beauties. He has been collecting rare specimens of mineral for a
 long time, and intends placing q

Battle of the Giants.

Washington Jan. 30,-The gal leries of the house were crowded to their utmost capacity long before noon today by spectators in antici- patton ofthe resumption of fthe con test of yesterday. Nor were they disappointed, for as the clerk read the journal in the usual manner, emitting the detailed vote by yeas and nays on the question of con- sideration against the contested cleo ton case of Jackson, from West Vir- ginia, Breckenridge, oi Kentucky, rose and demanded the reading of the full vote. After amoment's hes itation the speaker directed this to be done. This having been com pleted Breckenridge demanded the reading of the names of those not not voting and the speaker ordered this done also.

Railroad Prospects.

According to the Fort Worth Ga zette a queer combination of rail- road interests has been formed to invade New Mexico. It is claimed that the Frisco will build at an carly date from Sepulpa to june ton with the Santa Fe and Fort Worth & Denver at Washburn, and the three roads will build and ope- rate jointly line from Washburn to point in Pecos valley or White Oaks region. From that point the Frisco and Santa Fe will jointly construct an extension through the Manzano valley and via Tijeras canon to Albuquerque, while the Fort Worth < Denver company will build an extension to Fl Paso. This is a plausible solution of the question how to get directly into New Mexi- co from western Texas.

Poor HulnanitY!

The common lot is one of sorrow say at least-the pessimists, they who look at the worst side. Certainly what would otherwise be bright existence, is often shadowed by some ailment that over hangs it like pail, o5scuring perpet- ually the radiance that else would light the path. Such an ailment, and a very common one, is nervousness, or in other words, weakness of the nervous system, a condi, .on only irremediable where in efficient or improper means a! taken to relieve it. The concurrent experience of nervous people who have consistently rsed Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is, that it conquers entirely supersensitive- ness of the nerves, as we'll as diseases so caied-which are invited and sus- tained by theIr chronic weakness. As the nerves gain stamina from the great tonic the trouble disappears. Use the Bitters for the malaria. rheumatism, bIl- iousness and kidney troubles.

. Interesting People.

Lieut.. Schwatka was in Fl PasO the other day, accompanied by F. Howard O. Mel in charge of eleven cave or cliff dwellers from the Sier- ra Madre mountains. Mir. O'Niel has lived in that country, so states the Tribune of that city, for anum- Der of year and speaks the Spanish language fuently, and some Indian dialects. The people they have in charge are members of the Tahuar- mari tribe, and speak language of their own. They came from Chihnahua and travelled the dis tance on foot, beating their masters who rode on mules. One of the men has a record of travelling 100 miles in eleven hours, and the lieut. enant offers a wager of $10,000 a side on the speed of this man. The gentleman intends exhibiting these strange people in the princi- pal cities, and afterwards taking them to Europe and turn them over to Buffalo Bill."-Albuquerque Citizen.

manded yeas and nays. The speak. CT declared this to be a sufficient number and directed the clerk to call the roll.
 Bland, of Missouri, moved to re- consider the vote by which the yeas and nays were ordered, but the speaker declined to recognize him, whereupon Bland shouted, amid great confusion, "you are tyrant to rule over this house in any such way, and 1 denounce you as"-- The remainder of the sentence was drowned in a wave of cheers from the Democratic side. The roll was then called.
 The motion was defeated, yeas 142, nays 160. The question then recurred on the demand for the previous question, of the approval of the journal, and the yeas and nays having been ordered, the order "don't vote vas passed around the democratic side of the house and stubbornly obeyed.

One Less.

St. Louis Jan. 30- Deputy Mar shal Todd has shot and killed, near Goodland, Indian territory, East man Battise, a noted Choctaw out law. Battise in May last had kill ed John Hyde, a white man travel ing through the territory. The murder was unprovoked and brutal. At the crossing of Boggy, Hyde was met by Battise and another h. dian. They compelled him to hold up his hands, and then shot him dead, while the man was begging for his life. After rifling the pock- cts of their victim they threw the body into the creek. An Indian happened to come up in time to identify them as they rode away. A number of other men had been killed or robbed by the outlaw and his gang. Battise was a powerful man, weighing 275 pounds, and brave to desperation. He had often sworn that he would never be taken alive. When Todd attempted to arrest him he resisted, but the mar shal was too quick for him and succeeded in getting the drop.

It would be a good idea if the young men of St. Johns and vicin- ity were to organize a military com pany. We have good brass band already which could furnish the music, and there is an abundance of material for a full company. The United States Government fur nishes all companies organized with arms of the most approved pattern and with uniforms. The only ex- pense attached to such an organiza- ton would be the rent of a room for an armory, and for lights and fuel. Get together boys and let Us have a good military company in St. Johns. Wm. O.
