Destitution Among Settlers in south
'"" f.', Dakota.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 31.-W. j.
Wagner, travelling freight agent for
the Great Northern road, arrived in
this city yesterday from a trip through
the northern part of the state. That
part of the country was severely
stricken with the drouth, and the peo-
pie there are in destitute circum-
stances. Mr.. Wagner says that near
Osceola and west of it whole town
ships We're left by the sun and wind
of the hot months as dry and barren
as a desert, and stock owned by the
settlers was rendered worthless, as
there was no feed. Many families are
in need of the necessaries of life, and
Mr.. Wagner says that more fortunate
people of the state should render some
assistance. In many instances out
buildings are being pulled down to be
used for fuel. One family was found
eating horse flesh, as it was the only
meat they could obtain. Mr.. Wagner
left last night for st. Paul, where he
will see what can be done in the way
of securing cheap coal and wood for
| the sufferers. The Great Northern, he
says, will carry fuel to these reedy
| people free of charge.

Gibson, Ind. IT,, Oct. 81. - Deputy
Marshal Bouden and posse have come
in with two prisoners supposed to be-

gives his name as Jim Price, and has
been identified as the man who jumped
his bond at Paris, Tex, eight months
ago. He was on bond for stealing
horses and disappeared few days be-
fore his trial. The other says his name
is Lon Perry, but it is believed from
the description given that he is really
Perry Brown, and one of the Cook

had been after him two days, and
last night located him in the noun

he is not the man wanted, but the Of

Ample Apology to MI. Hcatwole
From the Chicago Times.

Chicago, Oct 81. - The Chicago
Times of yesterday says. "A special
correspondent at Northfield, Mimi,
has imposed upon the Times and done
a grave injustice to Joel p. Heatwole,
Republican candidate for congress in
the Third district Of Minnesota by at
tributing to certain public men allega-
tons against Mr.. Heatwole which
were never made. AS the original dis
patch has had a wide circulation the
Times considers it simply an act OF
Justice to Mr.. Heatwole, as we'll as to
itself, to give the fullest publicity to
the result of an investigation volun-
tarily made by the paper, which ex-
onerates Mr.. Heatwole, and shows
that the correspondent had no founda-
ton whatever for the dispatch sent to
this paper. The Times at once dis
charged the correspondent on the
ground that he was too irresponsible
to write for a newspaper. His name is

the Northwest and portions of the
Northern Pacific coast, bring news of
the proposed new Midland Pacific rail
road. over the route Of which he trav-
eled for the especial purpose of get
ting knowledge of that section of the
country, in order to make a report to
Canadian and foreign capitalists, who
were ready to invest in the new enter
prise if they should be satisfied Of it's
feasibility. Maj. Hubbard is now able
to state that the capital, both Can
adam and foreign, is satisfied, and that
he has therefore been able to enter into
contract with United States Senator
r. f. Pettigrew of South Dakota for
the building of the Midland Pacific
from Sioux Falls, S. D., to Seattle and
Tacoma, Wash, a distance of some
1,6OO miles. The success is thus as

Asked if the construction of the road
was to be undertaken at an early date,
Maj. Hubbard replied:
''The first branch will be from Sioux
City to the coal fields of Wyoming.
| About 400 miles will be built in the
spring Of 1895. These fields, by the
way, contain vast quantities of coal,
equal in quality to the best produced
in Illinois. Since South Dakota is en-
tirely without coal or other fuel in
any amount, it will be seen what an
advantage she will derive from these
increased facilities for fuel that is
plentiful and cheap. The second from
