Some Birds That Hatch Their Eggs by
Queer Devices.
1t is we'll known that the Australian

tralia are found numerous mounds of
considerable size and height which the
first explorers took to be burial grounds.
These were made by the Megapodius
tumulus, which uses them for Matching
its eggs They have sometimes consid-
cradle dimensions A nest that is IL

Each megapod builds its own nest
with material which 1t gathers from all
sides, and these are exactly what the
gardener uses in the month of March to
make his forcing beds-namely. leaves
and accompanying vegetable matter.

The Senate.

A new preacher, a stranger to the
records, opened the senate with
prayer on Thursday. In the course
of his remarks, he said the Great
Leader was the actual leader of the
senate, and J. Tomlinson, Jr., of the
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader is author
ity for the statement that the remark
caused Judge Palmer to flush per-
ceptibly and throw a protesting
glance at his colleagues. Whether
the senator will introduce a resolution
censuring the clergyman for dis
courtesy remains to be seen.

JAN. 19-The capital removal
bill was killed in the senate by a
vote of "a to Is. 1t was a surprise
to Huron who thought they had a
majority. The next move will be
for a constitutional convention. This
will enlist the sympathy of a variety
of interests,-equal suffrage, state
officers, salaries, judges, etc.
The populist caucus sat until 1:30
this morning. 20 ballots were taken
without material change. Kyle's
highest vote was 81 and his lowest
%. Kyle closed at 33, Loucks IL,
Goodykoontz s, Plowman 9. Much
bitterness was displayed in the eau
Gus and afterwards, the factions get
ting farther apart. The Kyle people
claim a gain, but their opponents
are equally positive he is beaten.
Loucks says Kyle is impossible, and
the Kyle men say they will vote for
him till the session closes and are
developing staying qualities that
surprise their opponents. kyle's
chances have improved over yester-
day.
Gov. Lee and the entire state adj
ministration are plugging against
Kyle. Kyle's friends expect he will
drop to % in the open balloting in
the Legislature this afternoon, be-
cause the democrats will support
Weeks. A long struggle is ahead.

The Ninth Judicial Circuit.

This measure also created a heated
discussion in committee of the whole.
Mr.. Bouck led the debate by anable
and eloquent speech in support of
the favorable recommendation of the
judiciary committee. He dwelt upon
the inconvenience to which litigants
in Grant, Roberts, and other
ties are put because of the inacces-
sibiIity of the Judge, and pointed out
the injustice inflicted upon prisoners
and others by the necessarily infre-
quent terms of court.
Mr.. Bothum of M%innehaha took
the floor to reply and declared, IN
effect, that if any suffering was ex-
perienced by litigants the same was
due to the negligence of the Judges
or the bad formation of the districts.
| He would favor re~districting, but
opposed the creation of new offices
on the ground of economy. The
legislature of two years ago, he said,
killed a similar measure and he was
satisfied that If it had been meritor-
ious the Legislature would have pass
ed it. This statement, coming from
so strong a populist as Mr.. Bothum,
must be considered as a ~f1attering
endorsement of the acts of the Re-
publican Legislature of 1894, regard
less of the merits of the measure he
had in mind.
Mr.. Case of Codington also took
part in the discussion and undoubted-
" saved the bill for the time being.
He demolished statistics in oppo-
sition to it which were presented by
Mr.. Sweet of Hutchinson, and de-
clared the creation of the new circuit
was an absolute necessity. When
the committee arose, the favorable
report was adopted.

Just A Little Odd.

A wagon load of mail matter
passed through the streets of Ope-
lousas this morning on the way to
the depot to be fumigated. 1t was
the mail accumulated at Palmetto
before the people of that place de-
cided to quarantine against mail
matter, and was from New Orleans
and other places.
All sanitarians agree that fumi-
gated mail matter is free of infec-
tion, and if we accept this theory
as correct we are perfectly safe in
receiving mails, as all New Or
leans mail is thoroughly fumigated
by the Marine Hospital service be-
fore leaving; but it did strike q
person as rather odd to see a
wagon-load of mail passing through
town, after two drivers from town
having sat upon 1t all the way
from Palmetto here, on it's way to
the depot to DO fuInifg ted.

We have in our midst modern

several skeletons and is engaged in
manufacturing man. Frank says
he expects to sell him.
Our readers win note from our
telegraphic reports that several
cases of yellow fever have develop
ed in different parts of the country.
This is sufficient argument in
itself to justify strict and vigilant
quarantine.
Sheriff TT. I'll. Deshotels was to
leave for Baton Rouge with pris-
oners next Thursday, but when

to-day's dispatches announced a

he concluded to await develop

Cotton seed has been the main
articles of commerce since thestop-
page of the trains. The daily sale
in our town by the farmers of this
product, averaging over 100 tons,
has been OF vast benefit, consider
ing that the sale of cotton and all
other country produce has almost
entirely suspended. The existence
of the oil mill has certainly proven
of great benefit to the people, for It
has been the chief purchaser of the
vast quantity of seed brought to
our market. We learn from the
President that over $500 has been
paid out for seed, labor, etc., since
the season opened.
The general health of our town
and vicinity continues remarkably

IN NEW YORK.
How She Boarded The Steamer

Special to the st. Landry Clarion.
New Orleans, Oct. 1Sth.-Mis
Evangelina Cisneros, the Cubal
heroine, has renounced allegiance
i to Spain and will become citizel
Of the United States.
/ Fifty thousand people greeted
Miss Cisneros at Madison square
/ Saturday night. The reception was
one of the most demonstrative and
enthusiastic ever held in New
/ York. II
L Ex-senator Justice B. Eustis was
among the distinguished men at a
private reception to the Cuban
girl.
Miss Cisneros' escape and safe
arrival on the Seneca was one OF
the most daring feats ever attempt
ed and successfully carried out.
While she was still in prison her
friends secured a passport for one
Juan Sola, and stateroom No. 3 on
the Seneca was held in the same
name. This was three days before
the boat sailed. On the Saturday
when the Seneca was to leave
Havana detectives watched her
gangWay with extra caution. All
day long they remained at their
post,examining the passports which
all passengers have to show before
leaving Havana. Their vigilance
would probably have prevented the
departure Of Miss Cisneros from.
Cuba had it not been for little re-
freshment which was served on
them by friends Of Miss Cisneros
who were aboard the Seneca. The
refreshment included wine. The
chief of police of Havana came
aboard while the refreshment part
of the plot was in progress, and it is
alleged that he too fell a victim of
the wiles OF the Cisneros faction.
A few minutes before the Seneca
was ready to pull out from her
dock slim young fellow came rum
ming across the wharf. He had no
and was fashionably dess-
ed. He walked quickly up the
gang plank. The detectives stop
ped him.
