A special from Olivet. S. D., says:
Last night robbery was attempted on the
Hutchison county treasury 1t this place.
Burglars made = hole through the brick
wall Of the vault and thereby secured en-
trance. The outer doors Of the safe, which
was in tho vault, had been left open on &C.
count OF some trouble with the combina.
ton lock, and tho Inner doors were opened
by blowing the lock TO pieces with powder.
Behind those doors WAS the money chest,
guarded by = time-lock aed containing
over $1,000. Tho efforts Of the burglars To
open 1t were without avail. and they were
evidently driven away by the approach OIL
daylight. In small wooden drawer was

were taken. The burglars have not been

Between 1850 and 1880 5,2i6,Jl3 immi'
grants entered this country. OF these
part have returned TO their homes or mi
grated elsewhere. A considerable proper
ton, possibly about one eighth, have died.
On the other hand, children have been
born 10 them, and II IL probable that the
births have countorbalnnued the deaths
and the emigration, 50 that the net iniiu-
cnce which immigration has exercised

GUTHRIE. q. T., Oct. 29.-Thers
have been some exciting scenes in the log
islsturo to-day, commencing AZ the wee
small hours this morning. A night session
was held last night to consider the school
bill, but when the House got together the
friends Of Klngdshsr called up the capitol
bill. Dilatory tsctics were resortsd to,
but nothing special occurred during the
early part Of the session. The Kinghsher
lobbyists and others were circulating
among the members, contrary to Q rule Of
the House. These lobbyists were instruct
Ing their friends what to do, annoying
some Of the members, and Speaker Jones
attention was called TO the rule and he was
requested 10 have them elected. Some Of
them were put on the floor, but one or two
refused to leave. One member, !. N. Ter
rill, called on the Speaker Ave times to re-
move them, but It was not done, and Ter
ril rising, said that II they would not put
Mccartney out they could keep him In,
and started for the door, accompanied BY
the editor Of the Guthrie Nc,Us. The
noise and excitement was unprecedented
and the Kingfsher calls to "Shut the door
and keep him In" were equsled BY the
Guthrie crowds applause and calls to
''Let him out"
When Terrill reached the door no said
that II they shut 1t ho would kick 1t open.
The door opened and Terrill went out,
thus breaking the quorum. The legisls-
ture then At once adjourned.
This morning at 10 the Legislature again
met and was prepared for battle on the
capitol question. Proutey, Mccartney and
other Kingfsher lobbyists were again on
the floor, whore they had NO right under
the House rules. Mr.. Terrill rose Il, his
place, pulled out q large forty-four Colps
revolver and laid IL on his desk, saying
that II the chair would not protect the
House from insults he would do what he
could 10 protect himself.
The effect was magical, and one Of the
members hastily rising to his feet moved
to postpone the capitol bill till November
10, which motion was carried almost
unanimously. When the gun was laid on
Terrills desk the speaker and several Of
the members left their places 70 get IN
places where pillars or other obstructious
would be between them and Terrill.
The general feeling here Is that Terrill
possibly went . little too far, but that the
speaker did wrong In not enforcing the
rule and having the obnoxious lobbyist put
of the floor.

TUE assertion that the United States
owes Europe debt OF gratitude for its
emigrants Is rather an amusing claim
to put In. The emigrants came to
better their condition. They came for
love OF themselves and not OF the
United States. They thought they
would make more money and be safer
and freer here than at home, so they
left home aud came hither. Finding
their expectations fulfilled, they and
their children have stayed here.
