Sioux Falls Press, g.: Indications are
that the deadlock at Pierre will continua
TIL the end OF the session. Kyle's friends
say they will vote for hlm regardless OF
consequences. P!owman's trends show
no signs Of weakening and Goodykoontz
has the remainder # the votes except
the four democrats who voted for Weeks
and one vote for Palmer and one for
Kellar. The report that Governor Lee
has been using his influence in the sena-
to-lal contest Is untrue and Is laughed
a. by all parties except the neNsI oper
man who manufactured 1t and sent 1t
Out. A careful investigation fails TO
show where Senator Pettigrew has sent
q telegram or written a letter except III
in response to kilograms a Il letters, and
SO far Us learned those always stated
that For the sake Of party harmony he
could not afford to take part IN the fight.

Dell Rapids Times, >: The 1luruulte
made the remark IA while ago that there
were 1900 more republicans in the state
nov han at the commencement OF the
legislative session. The utter reckless
ness of the pop legislature and total dis
regard OF all princ!p IS OF economy are
putting new light on pop professions.
Thousands Of dollars have been spent in
the attempt to elect a U, s. senator with
the result that they are no nearer to a
settlement than they were weeks ago.
The whole contention is in the interests
OF personal benefits. The waste Of the
peoples money cuts no tigure....In the
meantime necessary legislation is being
neglected and the peoples money
~squandered to put Pettigrew and his
%corporals in the ascendency.
The foregoing is a fair sample of the
rot that is frequently worked Off by all

Stewart Strenuously Objects.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The senate
committee on postoffices and post roads
failed to conclude it's consideration of
the Loud bill in regard to second class
mail matter, as it had hoped to do. The
postponement was due to the fact that
some senators have expressed a
desire to be heard on the bill before it
is reported. Senator Stewart was given
an opportunity to further express his
objections to the measure. He said
that if it should be reported to the SEN
ate, he would talk two days together
rather than allow it to pass.

Largest In the World.
DULUTH, Feb. S.-There is now be-
ing erected to connect Superior and
Duluth the third largest draw bridge
in the world. 1t connects the cities by
spanning the gate between Rice's point
in Duluth and Connor's point in Supe-
rior. The cost, including the APP
proaches, will exceed 81, 600, 900, and OF
it the chief engineer and designer, A.
p. Boiler of New York, says: being
on the line of least resistance between
the two cities, it will naturally invite a
large traffic from the steam railways
and forever m%onopolize the %interurban
traffic of those Cities The length Of
the structure is to be l,095 feet from
dock to dock, while the width will be
about SO feet. The draw bridge is the
great feature of the work. This is 49l
feet in. length and weighs 1900 tons.
The only two heavier draws III the
world are on the central bridge over
the Harlem river and the New York
Central, both in New York.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Business Quiet or Unchanged In a Major
ity OF Cases.

ity OF Cases. @
New YORK, Feb. =. BradstrcetS
says: General trade, which was re-
tarded 10y .unfavorable weather a week
ago, has recovered somewhat at Chatta-
nooga, Memphis. Birmingham and
New Orleans. While the cold weather
cut into stocks of heavy goods, it de-
layed the sale Of spring goods. Other
relatively favorable s'ade reports are
from St. Paul, Chicago, Minneapolis
and st. Louis. AT most centers jobbers
report business quiet or unchanged
with no prospect of immediate I'M
provement.
The restriction Of the production of
cotton goods has not strengthened the
market or advanced prices yet. The
heavy increase in wool sales, 40, OOO, 900
pounds at Boston alone since Jan. l
against "a, 0OO, 900 pounds last year, is
based largely on the expectation of a
higher duty on wool.

DULUTH, Feb. 8.-Ten people were
injured in a sleighing accident and 1t
is considered marvellous that none OF
the party were killed outright. The
sleigh had loaded with a party from
the Christian church, and had started
downs hill when the team became un.
manageable. Turning a corner on
.,lrst street the sleigh was upset, roll.
ing over and over. Some of the occup'
ants were thrown 100 feet.

Hunting the Wild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat IA it Unfortunately called, is a
species Of & game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This ia not SO much because
Of the difficulty Of killing the
animal, nor because Of It's actual
rarity. 1t is u stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t is not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually, among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out OF ten.
