Not Good for Drinking.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Feb. 14.-Wahl & Hunius,
the celebrated chemists of Chicago,
have analyzed Duluth's water, and in a
letter to Fitger & Co., the brewers of
this city, declared it to be excellent for
brewing and mailing purposes. because
it is soft and has to be cooked before
using. They add, however. that for
drinking pure. or rather impure. it is
simply unfit and dangerous. The infu-
soria predominates to a great extent,
and vegetable substances are not to be
found in very large quantities. Wahl
& Hunlus seemed to be of the opinion,
after careful examination of the water,
that the city's supply must in some way
come in contact with the contents of
the city sewers.

COUNTING ON KYLE.
He Will Most Likely Succeed
Senator Moody.

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE. S. D., Feb. 14.-One ballot
was taken to-day, resulting in giving
Sterling sixty-four, Kyle fifty-eight,
Tripp fourteen, Crosse one, with thirty
two paired. If nothing happens to mar
present arrangements it is virtual y
certain that State Senator Kyle will be
elected United States senator, not
later probably than Wednesday. This
information was received tonight from
a quarter that is reliable. Judge Tripp
has released the Democratic caucus and
it was his most intimate friends among
legislators who voted for Kyle. The
latter is one who is most satisfactory to
Democrats, being in full accord with them
on the tariff question and other national
issues, and he is man who will lend
dignity and credit to South Dakota and
the United States senate. There is
nothing much to add, except that Inde
pendents and Democrats have come to
such all understanding as will see the
above conclusion verified next week.
Bartlett Tripp is wholly satisfied with
the deal, and while he can still COM
mand every Democratic vote if need be,
is willing to step aside to bring the long
drawn-out senatorial contest to the best
and most satisfactory conclusion.

- CITIZEN INDIANS.

TACOMA, WASH, Feb. IA. - Judge
Hanford, in the United States district
court, has decided in favor of the de-
fendant in the case of the United States
government against j. D. Campbell, in
dicted for selling liquor to Puyallup H.
dians, on the ground that the Puyallup
Indians, under the law of 1877. grant
ing to them lands in severalty, are
citizens of the United States, and no
one has any authority to question their
right to buy whisky and drink it in their
own houses. The decision is qualified
by the statement by the judge that the
defendant being impecunious, could not
appeal from the adverse decision, there
fore in another similar case where the
defendant could afford to appeal TO the
United States supreme court, he would
decide in favor of the government, in
order to secure the opinion of that court
