General News Of the
Day.

CHICAGO, Jan. iO.--The harvesting
trust has gone TO pieces, and before verf
long the American Harvester company
will be thing Of the past. Ii was oni5
u couple OF months since Ii was brough{
into existence with a capital OF S55, 0o0s-
900. Things went swlmminglY for d
while and arrangements were In prog
ress for dispensing with thousands of
travelling men and other employees and
OF centralizlng the business. Thk
week the representatives of the
firms In the combine came together af
the Auditorium hotel, when Ii was de-
yeloped that the majority OF the diree-
tors had mapped out line OF policy By
which prices to the farmers were 10 be
materially raised and the supply houses
consolidated. There was vigorous re-
monstrnace to this course on the part 0f
the McCormicks, the Deerings, the Whit
man-Barnes concern, and the Ohio house
Of Warder, Bushnell Il Glesner, and
after stormy meeting of several hours
duration they withdrew. This morning
they served notice of their withdrawal
from the company. II Is given out that
a war to the knife between the different
concerns Is now inevitable. There win be
increased production and low prices, and
the farmer will get the benefit.

| what Northwestern Congressnlen Are
Doing for Their Constituency.
WASHINGTON, Jan. lO.--The delega-
tious from the northwestern states In the
present congress have been unusually
successful In passing bills of local bone-
ft 10 their several states. Bills OF local
interest 10 Minnesota, the Dakotas, Mon
tanA and Wisconsin were pretty well
cleared np at the last session. There
still remain on the calendars OF both
houses several bills of LEGAL Importance,
however, which stand fair show of
passage between now and March 4.
An important bill to the newly ad-
mitted states is a measure providing for
the communication of timber culture en-
tries after foLr years residence and the
payment of SI.s5 per acre for the land or
for making final proof after eight years
OF residence without the payment Of this
amount, There are also several amend
ments added To this bill which are of
minor Importance. The bill is now I'm
conference committee and awaits the ae-
ton OF that body. The bill providing for
supplying seed grain To districts which
have suffered from drouth In the past
year north OF the 47th parallel Il still
pending In committee and will prob
ably be reported within q short time. A
measure OF Importance 10 Minnesota and
South Dakota In that ratifying the treaty
between the Wahpeton and Sisseton In
dlans for the sale OF their reservation.
As IL well known, this bin has been
hanging fire since last winter, and those
who have 10 In charge are making stren-
uous efforts 10 get 1t reported from the
house committee on Indian affairs. IL
passed the senate last session. The In
dians on this reservation are suffering
for want OF food aud clothing,
and the ratification OF this treaty
and the payment Of the appro-
prlations involved would be sufficient
70 satisfy their wants. The bill has a
fair chance OF passage this session
The next bill of Importance to North
and South Dakota and Montana Is that
affording irrigation and providing for
segregating the arid and sLb-arId lands
and the turning over to different states
public land for irrigation purposes. Sew
eral different schemes were presented to
congress last session and money was APP
propriated for surveys, but nothing def
mite has yet been accomplished In this
direction. The members from the
states interested are going to make an
other, and lt Is hoped an effective effort
this session to pass bill providing for
the irrigation OF these lands and the
measure here mentioned seems most
likely TO be reported favorably from the
committees and passed. There are sew
eral bills appropriatlng money for Indian
schools and land Offices In the new states.
Ii Is not probable that the measures APP
propriating moneys for Indian schools
will become laws at this session. The
Indian war in South Dakota is likely to
prove an effective barrier In preventing
the passage of these bills. The bin pro-
viding for commission 10 examine into
and allow Indian depreciation claims will
be pushed by the members having the
matter In charge, bat the time Is so
short that 10 Is probable no action will be-
taken.during this session.

SPANISH DANCING GIRLS.



Spain Is. nation OF dancers All
Spanlards, u may DO said, are born
dancing, aud there would seem To be- no
need for apologizing for them on that ac-
count.
AS rulc they are good dancers, be-
cause what we love to do we generally
do well. Tho proverb tells that: "A
pair of light shoes is not all that Is
needed for dancing" and have found
II 10 be true. The fandango Is the old
est national dance OF Spain, especially In
the districts of Andalusia. This dance
interprets what may be called q passion
ate love song. The opening is . mild
bit OF music. IL Is danced In couples In
what Is called three-four time. The
musical accompaniment Is a guitar and a
tamborine, and castanets are used 70
keep time. 1t Is wildly voluptuous and
exciting dance. and 1t seems TO be ap-
preciated by New York audiences, IL
can judge from their applause.
In the fandango, rs | dance it, the
movements are designed 10 interpret
love-maklng between q couple, There
are coy dances on the part OF the woman
and sRtfies from tho man, advances and
retreats, feminine coquetries and mascu-
line supplleation, and the eventual trl-
nmph OF the man.
Such Q dance affords large scope for
Intelligent pansomime and romantic act
ing The free, extemporaneous charac-
tor OF this dance has led 10 abuses al
times, and In Spain the church has
sought 70 suppress Ii. But when danced
as II should be, there Is no hint Of Inn
modesty about It,
Nearly al dancing In Spain II accom-.
panied by singing sometimes an i'm
promptn melody, but more often some
song handed down for generations, and
In which all the dancers can Join.
Everybody should know how 10 dance

The Story of a Little Girl.

A while ago little girl was lost in New York, and to the editors of a great paper came an appeal for help in finding her
 "We'll get up picture to show everybody how she looks" said the editor, who has soft spot in his heart for lost children. So a reporter was sent out, but presently returned to report that he could get no photo graph of the girl, but that she was small of her age, always stood with her feet close together, had blue eyes, and wore Nelly Bly peaked cap.
 "Now get up a nice picture" said the editor, and the artist was puzzled, as we'll he might be, for the facts that the girl had blue eyes and was small of her age were of no use in black and white drawing and he had only the feet and the cap to work upon However, he did the best he could and drew picture of real nice little girl The resemblance was remarkable Everybody said so. The mother o the little girl came in to thank the ar tist and the editor, with tears in hel eyes, after the girl had been found and modern journalism entered an other splendid triumph on it's notchee stick.
