the Alleged Participants.
Sioux FALLS, S. D., Feb. IA few
weeks ago dispatch was sent out from
Aberdeen, this state, to the effect that S.
B. Sayre had eloped from that place

attorneys here have received letter
from their client from Chicago, stating

he read it in the newspapers.
He says he left Aberdeen alone and
went direct to Chicago on business and
he did not even know that his brothers.

CHANGES WE'RE NUMEROUS.

Twenty-nine Members Elected to the Pres
ent Congress Are Not There Now.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. "A glance at the
records on file in the clerks Office in the
house of representatives shows there
have been no less than 80 changes in the
personnel of that body since the time
members were elected. Eleven of these
changes have been due to deaths, Is to
designations, and to members being
unseated by the house. The number is
larger than in any congress within the
recollection of the older house officials,
and is believed to be unequalled since
the war. Since the election of the men,
bers of the Fifty third congress, death
has claimed Mutchler of Pennsylvania,
Enochs Of Ohio, Chapman of Michigan;
O'Neill of Pennsylvania, Lilly of Penn
sylvania, Houk of Ohio; Brattan Of
Maryland, Lyle of Kentucky, Shaw Of
Wisconsin, Wright of Pennsylvania,
and Post of Illinois.
These Have Resigned.
The following members have resigned
their seats to accept the place indicated:
AICCuOA VI w lSCOlSll, q SCtsG LII tllO
senate; Lodge of Massachusetts,, a seat
in the senate; Fitz of New York, comp
troller of the currency of New York;
O'Ferrall, the governorship of Virginia;
Fellows of New York, the district at
torneyship of New York city; Brawley
Of South Carolina, judge of the district
court of South Carolina; Blanchard Of
Louisiana, seat in the senate; Caldwell
of Ohio, the mayoralty of Cincinnati;
Compton of Maryland, naval officer at
Baltimore; G. r. Breckenridge of Ar
kansas, ambassador to Russia; Oates Of
Alabama, to be governor of that
state; Cummings Of New York, subway
commissioner of the metropolis; Paynter
of Kentucky, a judge of the court Of ap-
peals of Kentucky; Black of Illinois,
district attorney for the Northern dis
trict of Illinois, and Burrows of Michi-
gan, a seat in the senate.
This list of changes will be swelled
soon by another. Representative Will
son of Washington was a few days ago
elected to the senate to succeed Mr.. Al
len. The election takes effect immedi-
ately and Mr.. Wilson's resignation, as a
of the house will probably be
received very soon.

ALLISON IS A RIVAL
The Iowa Senator Recognized
as Such by McKinley's
Friends.
NE WILL BE A CANDIDATE,
Though He Will Probably Not
Make An Aggressive
Campaign.

ST. PAUL, Feb. Z. "A special to The
Dispatch from Washington says:
Senator William B. Allison will be
candidate for the presidency before the
Republican national convention next
year. Until very recently Mr.. Allison
has refused to commit himself when
ever approached on the subject of his
probable candidacy. He is not what is
termed a 'pusher" in politics, but
is conservative in his views, and never
gets excited. The Iowa delegation had
been counted as being solidly for Reed
until the day the vote was taken on the
pop-gun Wilson bill to strike off the diff
ferential duty on sugar. The speech Of
General Henderson Of Iowa attracted
much attention and occasioned much
comment, since it is generally known
that he is warm friend of Reed, and a
great admirer Of the ex-speaker.
Henderson Leads the Boom.
Henderson leads the opposition to
Reed in the Republican ranks of the
house when the vote was taken and he
carried the day, too. Reed himself did
not regard the vote as being significant,
but the politicians have settled it to a
certainty, that Henderson and several
other members of the Iowa delegation
will not support Reed, and that Senator
Allison has quietly given his consent to
become candidate for the presidential
nomination.
Mckinley Leaders Recognize Rival.
The Mckinley leaders here recognize
in Allison most formidable candidate
for the support of the Western states
like Colorado, Idaho, Oregon and Wash
ington. Nebraska and Minnesota,
while pledged in advance to the Ohio
governor, will undoubted consider
well the claims of Senator Allison.
If the nomination comes West the
chances are that Allison will be the next
Republican nominee for the presidency.

II IL All Because Of q Cuban Count and

FARGO, N. D., Feb. THE Fargo
divorce colony had not recovered from
its futter of excitement over the arrival
of Sonora Rosa Verone de Pedro when it
was thrown into still greater one over
the appearance Of star of even greater
magnitude in the appearance Of real
live count. The hotel register shows
that Count Gibacoa is the name Of the
new acquisition, and he claims Havana,
Cuba, as his place of residence. There
has been no end of talk as to
the pair who hail from the PARKWAY
sunny isles. The counts arrival on the
day succeeding that Of the fair sonora,
and the fact that both claim Cuba as
their home, is causing no end of gossip
in certain circles. Both are here osten-
sibly for divorce, stopping at different
but adjoining hotels, and the end can
be antiCipated.

They Escape the Net Spread Tor Them by
 BUrrowing in the Mud.
 The following is Q fair sample of how eunningly crocodiles, in common with all other wild animals, can conceal themselves in moments of danger. says the Westminster Gazette. After a happy week spent in the jungle with a friend of mine we halted for break fast, before making the last stage for headquarters and home, at a place called oonarhyn-Anglice. garden of fowers-and while at breakfas> were amused by watching a number of croc- odiles, about eight or ten, summing themselves on the surface of a small lake, or tank, as it is there called, of about an acre in extent. A sudden thought struck me.
 ''I say, Murray, what fun it would be to try and catch some of these beggars in net .'Bravor' said he. Let's try it presently. Appu, send the horse keeper to the village and tell him to bring up all the men he can find and some long fishing nets. We will give a good santosum' (present).
 The villagers scented some fun, and with the further stimulus of a santo sum very soon turned up to the num- Der of thirty. It was now eleven o'clock and scorching hot, the air quivering over the bare, sandy plain in which the pond was situated. It was breast deep, as we knew, including about one foot or eighteen inches of heavy mud. We tied two nets together so as to make one long enough to reach across the tank, about thirty yards, and this was heavily weighted along the bot tom and arranged to be drawn with long ropes from each shore.
 Immediately behind the net came 8 line, and men about yard apart, with long, pointed poles with which to prod the mud along the bottom of the net, and so drive the malingering gentle men into proper position in front of the net. My friend and his servant (for all entered into the sport) fol- lowed close up to the second line.
 At it we all now went, splashing, shouting. stamping and hauling, but big but-not sign did we find of a single one of the brutes that we had seen before us when we came to the edge of the water. We dragged that water backward and forward more than once, but our only reward was a deadly thirst that lasted us till late that night.
 They had burrowed deeper into the mud than we could reach them, for nothing-I doubt if even rat-could have escaped unseen out of the water
