ST. PAUL, Feb. PA Pioneer Press
Chamberlain special says: The situation
in the town site in this city has become
more complicated thar ever. Last night,
a large party of persons arrived with
a force OF surveyors and began at once
running lines regardless of the rights of
prior settlers, Indian lands or anything
else, and a fight for possession promises to
be bitter. Personal are be
coming frequent, and serious trouble is
likely to ensue. In the meantime build
ing goes on steadily, and a large number
of business places are being opened. A
newspaper will be issued tomorrow.
Steps are being taken to organize a city
government, and soon the peculiar feat
ures OF a city, representing all branches
of trade and a population of nearly 5000
persons be witnessed, not one of its citi
zens owning a solitary foot of ground.
The reservation for many miles westward
is dotted with houses in every direction.
There is trouble regarding the settlement
of farm lands, the settlers appearing anx-
ious TO avoid complications in settling on
lands previously selected by others. The
crowd of schooners is already on the in
crease.

ST. PAUL, Feb. ia Pierre. s. D.,
special to the Pioneer Press this after.
1901 says: Col. Fassen, commander OF the
military, received an official telegram OF
the presidents proclamation. The town
was Immediately in a hubbub of noise
and confusion. Vehicles OF all kinds
were called out and packed with men of
all classes and there was an exciting race
for the reservation. In twenty minutes
the town was practically deserted. Stores
were closed and business was almost sus-
pended. Perched on the dome of the
capitol building the writer could see over
the country for miles. Stretching away
across the river for miles into the reser
walton was Il procession of men and
wagons hurrying along on a mad rush for
houses and land; winding their way over
hills and valleys, each trying to get ahead
of the o.her. Fully 5000 people were in
the crowd. and tonight they are camped
on the reservation. Load after load OF
lumber has left the immense lumber
yards here until they are almost depleted,
and to night for a radius of twenty-five
miles can almost everywhere be heard the
sound of saw and hammer.
At Fort Pierre the situation is serious.
The bulk of the crowd first struck that
village and Immediately commenced to
claim town lots, there being as many as
ten claimants to one To-. Trouble has al
ready arisen. Ten wagon loads of beer
and whiskey and several gambling outfits
went over TO the reservation. Liquor has
been prohibited on the reserve hereto
fore, but to night it is free as water. and
the inhabitants having been released of
military rule, are giving vent to their
feelings by imbibing in the flowing bowl;
gambling is going on openly in the streets.
Half breeds, sQuaws, men, and even the
red man himself is playing high with the
funds which ought to be applied to their
sustenance.

Birds in a Bath.

New OIk sun.
In the center of the lily pond in
CniOD square rises a dome of polished
granite surmoumted by a bronze
crown. From the base of the crown
to the water run four grooves cut deep
into the granite dome. This spot is a
favOrite resort Of the sparrOws, be-
cause little ledge of granite rims the
dome about an inch below the surface
of the water, and affords a safe bath
ing place for the tiniest of the little
brown pests. The polished surface of
the dome is so slippery, however, that
the birds slide from it into the water
to their manifest terror. Accordingly
the grooves, which are unpublished
and rough, are the only safe approach
to the bath, and at almost any hour
of the day one may See three or four
sparrows, one above the other, in
these grooves awaiting their turn at
the water. Sometimes an impatient
fellow slides down upon those in front,
and the one nearest the water is sud
denly plunged in. The sight is a
never failing source of amusement to
lOungers in the square.

The Unexpected Cyclone.

The Unexpected Cyclone.
A little Western maiden sat
UpOn an Eastern stone,
And thus into an Eastern air.
She made this weary moan:
'"There's not thing in all this State
But moves in proper ways,
The very cows culture show,
And firmly stand and gaze.
"NO trampiug herds in wild melee,
Drive cowboys brave and brown;
The fastest colt here scOrns to frisk.
And kick the fences down.
"The brook welI-bred gurgIe has,
No bOisterOus, roaring laugh;
No dashing mischief-lOving flood,
Here tears the bridge in half.
"The wind on tiptoe minces round,
A very dude of air;
You ought to hear a Western wind
Just roar, and smash, and tear"
Then something caught the maiden
up
From her despairing rest;
And swished away at tightening
speed,
She landed in the West.

Ecu TOUPINEL."
A Charming French Comedy, in which Wife
and Mistress are Leading Characters.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
PARIS, Feb Is BY Gable to the New
York Herald. l-'Feu Toupinel,n a three
act comedy by Alexandra Bison, was pro-
duced last night at theVaudeville with con-
siderable success. ''Feu ToupineP' was an
excellent Bourgeois, who passed half a
year at Paris with his wife, Valentine,
and the other half at Toulouse with his
mistress, the fascinating Cailette In fact,
he led a sort of DR.. Jekyli-Hyde existence
and kept the secret from both his wife and
mistress. Glorious complications ensue at
his death.
Cailette is known at Toulouse as Mime.
Touplnel. She sows her wild oats and
marr1es Valory, an erratic musician. Val
entlne also marries Duperron, a rather
hot-headed lawyer. Matthew is a captain
OF marines, who returns from Tonquin and
comes to breakfast with his college com
rade Duperron. Matthew was an old flame
OF Callette at Toulouse, whom he always
supposed was Nine. Toupinel. He is
ignorant that Duperron has married
the real Nine. Toupinel He relates
to the establishment of Duperron the happy
moments he had passed at Toulouse with
the frisky Cailette. Duperron conceals his
rage and asks himself, Mon Dleu, est ce
que TAI marie, la" BY irony of fate the
Valorys and Duperrons occupy at Paris
apartments in the same house. Cailettes
bills for villas, diamonds and dresses that
were such bright episodes of the Toulouse
side OF Toupinel's existance, come pouring
in upon her second husband, Duperron,
who becomes fully convinced that he has
married de graffee de premiere marque.
Ecu Toupiner' is one of the funniest
pieces that has been brought out in Paris
for some time. 1t kept the audience in a
continues roar of laughter and will have
long run.
