poison fixed up for that purpose. She
also charged them with being inn
moral, and circulated some very seam
dalous charges. She sem each of the
sisters q letter containing all kinds of
vile charges and then went to Sioux
City. She had circulated the stories
so freely that they were the talk of
the congregation at church, and as
there is somthing of a war between
the priests and the sisters it caused
more gossip. Mrs. kilkelly returned

papers. When she first went there
She said she intended to write up the

AS an indication of how rapidly
South Dakota is being settled by q de.
sirable class of people, q person should
closely can the land Office business of
the several districts of the state. The
Aberdeen Office is probably keeping

that district as any other to acquaint
homeseekers with the advantages Of

two ago ten entries had been made,
representing 1000 acres. A day OF
two before seven homestead entries,
n cash. entry, NJ timber culture
proof and one soldiers declaratory
were allowed. April is usually one Of
the dullest months of the year in land
office business, but the business tran
sacted in the. Aberdeen land office was
as follows: Land sold for cash, l7S. 10
acres; homestead entries, Al, embrac.
ing 6,42222. 63 acres; 20 final homestead
proofs, embracing 3,1l5.8s acres; IA

the land in the famous Jim River VAL

that Government land in the Aber-

SENATORS OFFERED BRIDE.
Sensational Statements Made by
Messrs. Kyle and Hunton.

Messrs. Kyle and Hunton.
Washington special: Senator Kyle
OF South Dakota and Senator Hunton
Of Virginia admitted the truth of the
statement, published in two eastern
papers, that they had been approached
and offered money to vote against the
tarih bill. Senator Kyle made the
statement through his clerk, not be-
ing in Washington at present.
Rumors of this character have been
floating about some time, but received
little attention. Whether the alleged
briber had any authority for the
promise is a matter of doubt. Nego-
tiations had apparently gone no fur
ther than intimations to the clerks Of
Senators Kyle and Hunton.
These came from u North Dakota
man known as o lobbyist, formerly u
member of Congress from the south,
identified with the carpetbag move
ment. The intimation was that Kyle
was to receive $4,000, the negotiator
to get $1,000 of it. Kyle's clerk says
that the matter lever went further
than an intimation. 1t is not believed
anybody with money enough to carry
the scheme through would entrust il
to q man OF the character named.
Senator Hunton said the offer to him
was made u month ago; the would-be
briber going to Virginia and making
1t to the Senator's son. He offered
$4,000 for the Senator's opposition to
the bill. The Senator at once laid the
facts before several of his most init
mate friends. He was satisfied that
the money would have been paid and
that tho offer would have been raised
to 100000 if necessary. He was not
acquainted with the would-be bribers.
