CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-During y small

badly hurt. Casey and Caskens were
driving along Harrison street In. q buggy,

SITUATION AT PIE ERRE.
rot So Favorable To the Republicans As
They would wisa.

PIERRE, Jan. 20.--Special: The house
met &C 10 o'clock. After tTansacting
routine business it took recess until IL.
At f1 the lobbys were crowded with
many ladies present. The large com
panya expecting to witness q vote on the
senatArial contest, was disappointed as a
ftfrthRr recess was taken until 2. The
senatorial situation Is no less mixed
than heretofore. The republicans hoped
that the caucus last night
would show practical unanim-
ity for Moody Only sixty
six attended the caucus, though 1t is
said the others were satisfactorily ac-
counted for, and the ballot gave Moody
fifty votes, with eight for Mellette and
others scattering. While the vote was
made unanimous, the result was Gisap-
polntlng as showing little enthusiasm In
republican ranks. StIll IL Is reasonably
certain that nearly all the republicans
viii support Moody, though three or
four are not bound by the caucus action.
This would be encouraging to the
independents IL they were not
o. worse condition. They cannot even
agree upon caucus nominee, and are
fearful some OF their members may drift
outside the combination lines. The dem
ocrats are solid for TFipp and are watch
Ing the contest with great interest.
Many republicans openly lament so poor
leadership, and the Daily Journal this
morning condemns the management OF
campaign In strong language. All
that can be said In advance of the
ballot Ii that the outlook Is not
quite SO hopeful for Moody, though more
republicans believe he will eventually
come In the winner. The argument be-
fore the sacctions committee on ths Dead
wood case was finished before i2 and the
committee Is now canvassing the matter.
IL is possible the house may have to
wrangle over these cases before the be-
ginning OF the senatorial balloting.
Both houses meet at 3 o'clock, utneither
has decided when 10 vote.

SELECTING THE LAND.

Preparations for the Choosing of Land for
south Dakota's Institutions.
PIERRE, s. d., Jan. 2O.-The state
board for the selection of the states en-
dowmeRt lands, lately appointed by
Secretary Noble, Is now holding It's first
session In Pierre. 1t Is composed of
the following members: Gov. A. c.
Mcllette, Auditor l.. C.. Taylor, land
commissioners; Thomas Ruth, for state
land; NJ. ID. Thompson, for VermIllIon
State University; l.. w. Valentine, for
the Spearfsh State Normal; Don c.
Needham, for the Rapid City School of
Mines; Il. w. Howe, for the Plankinton
Reform school; FIR. X. W. HaVie, for
the Sioux Falls Deaf Mute school; Prof.
A. Il. Hitchcock, for the Mitchell Agri-
cultural college; NJ. nj. Soule, for the
Madison State normal.
The principal work of this body is the
selection of the states lands for Its vari-
Gus institutions. The expense OF this In
the states present condition OF tinancies
will not be inconsiderable. Commissioner
Ruth estimates that the land office fees
alone will not be less than $40, 900. Then
there will be the travelling expenses
of the persons who select them,
and for this the state win have to
make an appropriation. 1t is very i'm
portant that this work should commence
at once, as the lands that the state may
locate now arc every day becoming less.
The best ones remaining are In the Black
Hills. None of the lately ceded reserva-
ton lands are open 10 location by the
state. Commissioner Ruth will put 600
sections OF school land on the market In
. short time now, which cannot be sold
for less than 80 per acre. Some will
bring as high as 500. All this goes into
the school fund. These lands are pro-
yided for In the statute enabling act and
comprise some $50, 900 acres. OF these
the agricultural college will have four
times a. many as any Of the other insti-
tutions. Then there are Sl70, 900 acres
10 be selected for the state. The state
will be- divided into districts aud one as
signed to each Of the commissioners,
After the lands have been selected the

state will constitute committee TO di-
vide by lot the lands to tho various In

RRDFIKLD, s. D., Jan. 20.---Special:
Some OF the farmers are saving fuel ex-
pense by hauling the houses of Of the
deserted farms and utilizing them for fire
wood. This has led some of the parties
financially interested to make large
sized kick, and the county commissioners
ut their last meeting decided TO offer $50
reward for each aud every conviction OF
those engaged In the not laudable busl-
ness. When person gets 20 chopping
up his neighbor's house for kindling
wood during his absence he may expect
that 1t will stir up anim0sity and strife,
and also tend 10 cause q lack OF conf
dence I'm the country. This thOughtless-
ness on the part of some OF the rural res
idents Ii appalling, and IL may be that
course OF treatment by the sheriff In the
county jail may be necessary to bring
some OF the offenders 20 a realizing sense
that his neighbor's house Is not to be
used as public wood pile.
Swan a. Stacy, artesian we'll contract

have their machinery on the ground

These wells were put down some COO

work was suspended. AS Swan & Stacy

In this portion of the state, the Mellette
gentlemen feel assured that water from

South Dakota Is at present unrepre-
sented at Washington, both senator's are
at Pierre and ditto with onr congress
men. When the silver bill passed the
senate IL was discovered that our senA-
tors were paired with free coinage men,
and as both Mr.. Moody and Pettigrew
are In favor OF free coinage II reduced
the majority In favor of that measure.
We raised great howl because we were
not represented during territorial days,
but we now SEQ the spectacle of the en-
tire South Dakota delegation lobbying

roars!
