Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: If it was
not for South Dakota Sioux City would
not be the wonderful stock market she
is today.
True, indeed; but Sioux City could
not have got the hold On South Dakota
that she has if she had not hustled for
it, South Dakota would much rather
have turned her hogs and cattle into a
Sioux Falls or Yankton market, but
it has only been very recently that eth
er of these towns has awakened to a
realizing sense OF the Importance of the
state outside their immediate environ
ments. The sooner Sioux Falls can
handle the products of this section the
better we shall like it, for more markets
means more railroads to supply these
markets, better prices for the products
to be shipped over these railroads. and
more people to raise those products.
Mitchell wants to see the Midland Pa
citic built and the Omaha line extended
at the earliest possible moment, and she
stands ready to join hands with Sioux
Falls in hearty endeayor to secure
these advantages.

Cured of a Br"lSen Back.
PITTsBURG, Jan. IL. -Drs James and
Thomas Mccain, of Pittsburg, are
about ready to report to the medical
fraternity the case of John Mulligan,
who was cured of "a broken back. In
October, 1889, while Mulligan was de-
scending with wheel barrow upon an
iron ore elevator at Laughlin's blast
furnace, the elevator dropped. He re-
ceived fracture of the vertebrm, and,
as usual with such cases, was palalyzed
from the loins down. ~
Eight days after Mnlligan's entrance
to the hospital, the physicians, in the
presence of seventy-6ve students of the
West Pennsylvania Medical college,
made an incision eight inches long in
the mans back. The vertebra were
exposed. A fracture of the arches of
the tenth and eleventh vertebr@ was
found. Fragments of bone were press
ing on the spinal cord. This pressure
was relieved Two months later Multi
gan could move his right leg. In ter
months the patient walked out of tn.
hospital. He is now at work. The re-
port of the operation was kept secxet
until it was certain it would prove u
perfect success.

An All Night Session of ropulist. at
Topeka.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 1.-THE Populist
house caucus has concluded its delibera-
tions after an all night session, which
was heated and stormy. Every propo-
sition to organize the house by revolu-
tionary methods was defeated after Il
bitter fight. The victory of the conserv-
alive element was accenuated by the
nomination for speaker Of Dunsmore, of
Neosho, one of the ex-Democrats. who,
it was declared, had decided to act with
the Democrats, Independent of the Pop
ulists. Ryan, of La Bette, was nomi-
mated for temporary speaker. Notwith-
standing the result of the caucus,
however, and the further fact that the
Republicans have majority of one of
the members-elect. radical Populists still
claim they will organize the house.

TOLEDO, Jan. 1l.-Clay Hopper, the
young man who has lain in coffin for
eleven days, during which time he list

His body is still warm. His eyes opened
at noon Monday, and shortly afterwards
a faint futter of the heart was noticed.
There are no signs of decomposition as
yet, and the room has been heated to
a temperature of rs deg. ever since the
supposed death. There is a pulsation
apparent at the temples. Physicians
are unanimous in the sentiment that the
boy will return to full consciousness.

PITTsBURG, Jan. 1.-Discontentment
exists among the men i'll the Homestead
works. This dissatisfaction is no greater
among the ex-strikers than among the
non-unionists, who claim they are not
being paid the wages promised them by
agents of the Carnegie Steel company
throughout the country, when they en-
tered the service of the firm. The
growing of the old hands becomes more
ominous each day, and it is the opinion
not only of the men who work i'll the

Editor Tomlinson Of the Argus

Sneaker Lawson as follows.

Editor Tomlinson of the Argus
Leader writes from Pierre about
Speaker Lawson as follows:
1t is evident that during the session
James M. Lawson will be speaker and
that there are no strings attached to
him concealed or otherwise. One point
of the policy adopted strikes the house
as strange, but as it is also the policy of
Lieutenaut Governor Herreid. it is
doubtless founded upon careful consid-
GRAFTON. It is not to place on the APP
preparations committee any man from
a town interested in public institution
or otherwise naturally looking for pub
lie money, and in general to make up
committees from men who have no pre-
disposition upon or experience in the
subjects they will handle.
We can see no reasonable objection to
this departure. The several state insti-
tutions have too long been looked upon
in the light of adjuncts to their respec-
tive localities and u great deal of log
rollingon their several appropriations
has resulted. No general interest can
possibly suffer by having them consid-
cred by disinterested, fair and impair
tial committee prepared to be as gener-
Gus in its allowances as the finances of
the state will warrant. On this point
the same correspondent writes:
The appropriation committee is COM
posssd OF liberal men and the cheese
pairing resorted to two years ago will
not be repeated. This means much for
the state. The former legislature in it's
anxiety crippled many institutions,
abolished that most valuable Office the
commlssionership Of immigration, and
refused an appropriation to the commits
sioner of labor. These offices will be
taken care of this year and the approp-
riation be made commensurate with the
dignity and wealth of the state.

Sioux City Journal: DR.. Briggs says:
Theology must advance" or course
1t must, or get the worst of it.
In our humble opinion what theology
needs is not SO much to advance as to
get back to tho position of the divine
Theologian who, in his Sermon on the
Mount, laid down creed that has met
all the needs of sinful humanity from
that time to this. There has been too
much handmade "adYanced" theology
already for the good of true religion.
