Will Govern Their Opening.

Will Govern Their Opening.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. The secre-
tary of the interior will in few days
issue pamphlet containing an explana-
tion Of the lands to be opened on the
Sisseton reservation, April Is.
No settlers can be allowed upon the
lands until the allotments are approved,
and the allotments will not be approved
until the date of issuing the prociama-
tion. There are 574,S14 acres. Nearly
all of these lands will be entered in the
Watertown, S. d., land district. Some
of them are in North Dakota, and will
come within the Fargo land district.
There will be one or two reservations
of land and the fractional sections along
the line Of the northern border of South
Dakota will not be disposed Of until this
line is fully determined and the report
received by the general land Office.
There is no doubt now that these lands
are among the best that are to be dis
posed of in either of the Dakotas, and it
is expected that there will be rush for
them.

FATAL MooRHEAD FIRE.
The City Jail Burns and an
Inmate Is Roasted in the
Flames.
Fire Caused by the Explosion
of q Lantern Left In u
Cell.
Mrs. Senator Casey's Recent Re.
ceptiOn Attended by Many
Noted People.

MooRHEAD, Feb. 1O-At 2:O5 this
morning the fire alarm was sounded. The
ire proved to be ip the old city Jail, (which
Is situated just north of the Jay Cooke
honse. Before the department arrived
the fire had gained such headway thai
it could not be controlled.
There was known to be an inmate in
the Jail and the fremen exerted them
selves to their utmost to release him.
The door was battered down and a
stream was turned into the interior of
the building, but before any effective
work could be done the flames we're
bursting out of every window and it vas
evident that the man was doomed. The
firemen were checkmated by not having
sufficient hose to allow them to attack
the flames from either side, all their
efforts having to be directed through the
door in front. At 2:3O o'clock the roof
of the building fell in.
The man who was roasted to death
was arrested and incarcerated in the jail
at 8 o'clock last night. He was drunk
and had been fighting. Officer Curran
arrested him at the corner near the
Key City hotel. He was taken to the
jail, being almost too drunk to walk and
was licked in cell No. 2. At the Jail be
gave the name Of George Darlington.
The officer went away and let him
alone. The Jail was not visited again
until about 1890 o'clock, when Officer
Williamson went to look after the well
fare of the prisoner. Williamson found
that the cell was too cold for the COM
fort of the man and removed him to
the "hole," an open space between the
cells. There was stove in tins space,
but the fire was burning low. About 2
o'clock passer. by saw smoke issuing
from the building and hastily sum.
moned the department.
Darlington was supposed to be q
stranger IN the city, and the officers
could find no one who could throw any
light upon his identity.
1t is thought that the fire was caused
by the explosion of lantern which bad
been hung up against the bars of the
cell. The stove was all right, and the
man was too stupid with drink to cause
any trouble.
The Jail was an old two-story frame
structure, probably not worth more than
S4OO. 1t contained nothing of value ex-
cept few old cots, several chairs and an
old stove.

A PLANETARY EVENT.

A Brilliant View of Two Great Plan.
cts in the Early Evening. Astro.
nOmical Data.
Jupiter and Venus have been starring
il" in the western sky each evening of
late, and have attracted large and ad.
miring audience on Earth. The two
planets appear early and, beng so close
together apparently, excite more than
passing attention. When they are first
seen, no other heavenly luminary is visl-
BILE. The sun has set, and the other stars
have not yet begun to twinkle.
Seen in this clear sparkling atmos-
phere, the two great worlds are especially
magnificent objects to behold. They look
at first glance like couple Of costly
baubles, but a steadler contemplation of
them dispels that illusion and plunges
the mind into vain attempts to compre-
hend their distance and magnitude.
To the spectator on this planet, Jupiter
and Venus have been steadily approach.
ing each other, and have recently been in
conjunction-that is one seemed to pass
the other IN the line of our vision. Astron-
omers say, although the planets cppeared
very near together, they were, in fact,
4l8OOO. 900 miles apart. Those now liv-
ing will probably never see the planets
in conjunction again. Jupiter Is the
largest Of the eight planets and Venus

Venus is nearest to earth in size, belng
in the ratio of comparison as 80 is to
lOn-the earth considered az 100.
The length Of q year on Venus is 225
days, and on Jupiter 1888 days. Jupiter
is over ten times the size Of the earth,
but his density is only e-fifth as great.
Venus will appear the brightest June

the state, where he has already won his
way to the front rank in his profession.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Camp will be at
home in the Winslow block after the first
Of March. before which wedding jour
ney is contemplated. and if time from
Mr.. Camps professional duties can be
had, the bride and groom will make a
trip to the sunny south, visiting New
Orleans and other points of interest.
During the evening q reception was
held at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hamilton to which few friends Of the
principals and the family were invited.
The following were present to offer
their congratulations: Mr.. and Miss

has advertised them but little. de ex-
poets, however. to pnsh their merits more
extensively in the future.
As North Dakota is peculiarly pota.
to region the history of creating this new
variety OF our famous product, may not
be uninterestlng. Nearly seven years
ago some one sent Mr. Elliott from the
agricultural bureau at Washington q
package OF seeds, containing potato
boil. There was nothing to tell to what
variety the potato belonged, and the
only pedigree given was statemeh,
that the flower had been crossed with
the pollen of four different varieties of
potato plant in the Botanical gardens at
Belfast, Ireland. There were forty five
seeds in the boil These were planted
in q corner Of hot-bed and kept sepa
rate. Each seed terminated into a
different variety Of pl ,nts. They were
replanted in the garden, carefully cult
vated, and when matured the best,
strongest and most promising of the
little tubers were selected, and the
weakest thrown aside. The second year
saw l6 varieties striving in Mr.. Elliott g
garden for supremacy, or, in the
language of that great scientist Darwin.
for survival of the fittest. The third
year the poor and unpromising plants
had been thrown out until eight varieties
were left.
Some time before this, the one single
seed that is now represented by many
bushels Of a splendid potato began to show
its inherited qualities, and to declare IT,
self as the best OF all the original 45. Mr..
Elliott says he knew in advance which
would come out ahead in this plant
struggle for life. but gave every plant
that showed any signs of progress fair
chance with the rest. The fourth year
witnessed the maturity of perfect po-
tato from the one seed of the As in the
ball. What influences have tended to de-.
velop this seed differently from the
others OF the same seed pod, and bring i,
to perfection, only the great artist and
gardener, Nature, can say. At any rate the
qualities of sunshine, of dew. of soil. of
many causes, secretly operating and
scarcely understood by the wisest inves-
tigators into the mystery Of creation and
natural selection, have done their work,
und, as the practical gardener says, the
result is "a No. l potato'-s Stutsman
county product whose fame is likely to be
known in many states.
According to Mr. Elliott tho new pota-
to will have a reign of excellence for
about Is years, after which it begins to
lose it's good qualities and deteriorate.
All varieties do the same, owing to the
great natural law that demands variation
of every species. The Early Rose. for
instance, still popular potato, which
was once an almost perfect variety, is
now unequal to its first condition. An
other thing that gardeners declare to be
true, is that this new variety of potato,
now fresh and vigorous in it's youth,
will thrive equally we'll, and give as good
results in almost any climate and soil
that potatoes grow as IN its native bed
in North Dakota. Equal care and atten-
ton will get the same results in Texas
with this North Dakota vegetable, that
are to be secured in this state, under
what appears to be widely different con-
ditions.

Protect Depositors.

Fargo Argus: II the Minnesota laws
are not adequate to punish the men who
wrecked the Merchants pank of Moor
head and robbed it's deposltors, they
ought to be. Some regulations ought to
be adopted for the examination of the
affairs OF private banks by public ex-
aminers and to- prevent the partners in
the bank from borrowing all the assets.
The collapse OF this bank is severe
blow to Moorhead, and especially severe
upon the people of small means who
were depositors in it. President Bruins.
who at one time was one of Moo-head's q
most prominent, prosperous aud ener-
getic merchants, finds himself stranded.
and virtually ruined, payment
on his personal check for Sc having
been refused short time ago. Mr..
Bruins has been drawing money from the
bank for the last five years IN excess of
his deposit, owing $4,000 and interest
for notes as we'll as s5O,OOO represented
by his stock when the bank closed Mon
day.
The liabilities of the bank are CON-
puted at $4,000, about $175,00O being
deposits, the balance being due banks
and state bankers. The assets are
roughly figured at 100000, being the
real estate and negotiable paper, the
greater part Of the latter being H. A
Bruins and supposed to be about &c.,
600 in cash on close of bank last Satur-
day.
