What a Railroad Oficial Saws.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April 16.-Assistant
General superintendent Williams. of the
Milwaukee road. came home this morning
from the Slsseton reservation. He was
there during the excitement of yesterday.
"Our special train" said be. reached the
line about two minutes before IL o'clock
and we were stopped by the government
agents. who placed ties across the track.
Soon q puff of smoke was seen to the far
north and then a faint report. 1t was the
signal gun from one of the pickets above
us. The picket below him fired upon hear
lag the report and so the sig nal passed on
down the line. As soon as the sentry
near US had fired. the ties were taken
of the track, and our train proceeded to
the terminus of the line. six miles within
the reservation. There were four coach
loads of US, but almost all were sight-seers,
and not interested IN securing land. Fol-
lowing each gun. the crowd that pressed to
the reservation line broke away on horse
back in a free-for-all dash for the interior.
Our line in the reservation runs twelve
miles north from Wilmot. 1t was
built some years ago. when 1t was thought
the Territory would be thrown open to set
tiers. and not operated because, the opening
having been postponed. it could not bemade
profitable. We now have O station and
operator at the end of tho line.
but it is not likely a town will be laid ont
there, since the adjoining land has been
taken by the Indians. AS to the town sites,
/ know nothing. Our road IS not inter
ested in any of them. and Will not be. The
Milwaukee road has a right of way through
the Sisseton reser walton. bought a plumber
of years ago from the Indians. 1t runs
northwest through the reservation from
our entering point above Wilmot. Whether
the line will be extended across the reser-
walton, or when it will he, are questions l
cannot answer. You can depend upon it.
the line will not be extended until il can
be made profitable. That means that we
lave no immediate idea of extending It."

One day, while George Mace was
walking through one oftheside streets,

vases in the window OF little shop.
They were large and hideously Japan,
ese ia design, and therefore appealed
strongly to his uncultivated taste.

Well, it was great night. The pri-
vate dining-room of "the place across
the street" was set with glittering
table and lit with soft, colored lights.
Everything was perfect. And the
Major was there, welcoming US, his
big red face glowing with good-fellow-
ship.
We sat down amid great hurrahing
for the Major, and then there was q
pounding on the table and cry of
"Derringer! Derringer!" And such was
the confusion that no one noticed that
the elder Derringer wasn't with us till
hush fell on us at the approaching
strains of familiar music. Louder and
louder they grew till the door swung
wide open. Then great shout went
up; for in through the door strode old
man Derringer grindinr ''Divin" out of
q handorgan for all he was worth; be-
hind him loomed swarthy Italian,
and high on the Italians shoulders
perched dark-eyed, ragged little boy,
looking astonished enough, l can tell
you!
When the cheers had finally subsided
and Derringer had leaned the organ
against the wall, he advanced to the
table and said: "Gentlemen, this is

murder the Major. and made possible

And of course, there were cheers un-
limited.
Well, it was great spread, and the
little Italian and his father were with
US in every course. And when he
wasn't eating, the big Italian was
grinding his organ and filling the air
with "Trovatore'' and Lucia" and
all manner of melody. Daylight found
us still at it, and we mixed so many
drives on the reliability of telegraph
