UNIQUE ELECTION CONTEST.
Man Beaten for Congress by $4,000
Cites a legal Technically.

New York, Jan. 22.-Congressman
Benjamin l.. Fairchlld of the Sixteenth
district has served notice Of contest on
elected in hat district last fall, and the
house will have TO decide a case with
out parallel in American politics.
Mr.. Fairchild, who Is an organization
republican, was renomlnated by a con-
vention held in Yonkers. Mr.. Ward, an
anti-organization republican, was nom
mated by a convention held at White
Plains, which was controlled by w. H.,
Robertson, the anti-Platt leader OF
Westminster county.
Then a contest arose as to which was
the regular republican nominee and en-
titled to have his name printed on he
official ballot. The lower courts and
the secretary OF state decided in favor
OF Mr.. Ward. Mr.. Fairchild then ran
as an independent republican candidate
and received 700 votes in the district.
Mr.. Ward received 80, 709 votes, a plu-
rality OF 1000 over the democratic can-
dldate. n vas declared elected.
Mr.. Fairchild appealed from the de-
cision @f the lower courts on the regu.
larity Of his nomination, and the court
of appeals rendered a decision In his
favor. On this decision he will contest
the election in the house. His conten-
ton Is that, In View Of the decision, Mr..
Wards name was illegally placed upon
the official ballot, and the winning
votes should be counted for himself

VermIllion, Jan. 23.-There Is some
,ear beine EXPRESSED by the people liv-
Ing on the Missouri bottom ana In the
Jim river valley Of another spring
freshet equal in size to the great noou
of 1881. Farmers are already emoVln
their hay ard grain from the low
along the Jim river to higher ground
There has already In many parts OF the
state been as great a snow fall az dur'
ing the winter Of 1880 and 1881. During
that winter heavy SHOWS and Dllzzafds
were numerous, and snow lay on the
ground from early fall until the spring
break up, which occurred the middle or
March. In many respects this winter
has rysembled that time OF fifteen years
ago, especially in the central portion OF
the state, where the heaviest SHOWS
have fallen. The only noticeable differ
ence between the two winters is thai IL
has not been as cold thus far this win"
ter. Unless more severe weather sets
In before spring TO make the Ice In tho
river thicker there will not be as much
danger OF nothe food as there would
be with thick ice. The flood OF 1881 was
augmented by the great gorges OF ice
formed at intervals along the Missouri.
Ice that was measured at that time was
found to be from three to four feet thick.
At present there Is scarcely strength
enough in the Ice on the Missouri to
bear crossing by team. There Ia one
thing quite certain, however, the people
who live on the bottom lands Will be
more ready to listen to the warnings
from reports from up-river country and
move to higher ground In case OF dam
ger.

Rrndstreet's Review.

New York, Jan. 23.-Bradstreet's says
.oday:
The most encouraging feature of the
trade situation this week is the in.
creased demand from manufacturers
for wool. The decision OF print cloth
manufacturers to curtail the output will
emphasize recent sales or the heavy
surplus stock and promises a better
market. To these may be added n In
crease IN the volume Of domestic bank
clearings, "A general steadiness or tn
prices and the healthfulness Of general
trade In almost all departments. o
servatism in granting credits inc the
preferences by retailers and others to
buy oftener, but in small quantities,
continue to mark the course of business
as not before for years. Demand IL In
~creasing In almost all lines, with few
exceptions, although very slowly. A
radical Improvement in the near future,
based on a slow but healthful Increase
In the c~onsumptive demand, Is, in the
absence of Unforeseen obstacles, almost
a certainty.
Prices appear to include few, IL any,
that are higher than a week ago, while
flour, wheat, corn. lard, crude petro!e-
um,, tin, Bessemer pig iron and steel
blllets are lower. Wool remains firm at
practically unchanged prices. Leather
is also firm and unchanged, as are lum-
Der, cotton, print cloths, pork, coffee
and sugar
Exports Of wheat Qlour included as
wheaD from both coasts of he United
States this week (St. johns, N. b., in
cluded) amount to 2,916.706 bushels, as
compared with 2,94S.0 600 bushels last
week. Exports of Indian corn his week
amount to $780, 22 bushels, compared
with 1851. 900 bushels last week.

LYMAN J. GAGE A CERTAINTY
Said 10 BE Slated for the Treasury
Portfolio-.CuIlom Dropped.

Cleveland, Jan. 23.-Lyman j.. Gage or
Chicago, is the latest addition TO the pres
ident-e.ect's official family. He will prob
ably be secretary of the treasury.
A gentleman in this city, as conversant
with the situation as anyone can be out
side OF Major Mckinley himself or his
confidential advisers, sad Mr.. Gage was
being considered for the position, and hat
his friends were urging his appointment.
1t was further said that Major Mckinley
had sent an emissary 10 sec Mr.. Gage at
his home In Chicago and ascertain wheth-
or or ont the latter would accept the port
folio il rendered him. The source from
which the authority for the statment
comes is beyond question.
Further strength to the statement is adj
ded. if such be possible, from the fact that
Senator Cullom of Illinois, who has been
considered for the place, has been drop
ped, it being the desire OF Major Mckinley
to nave Mr.. Cullom remain in the senate,
as there is no telling might turn up
should the Mckinley forces in Illinois at
tempt to replace him with the present
legislature SO badly torn up.

DuClos Located.

Mitchell, Jan. 23.-About three weeks
ago IL man named August Duclos, a
teacher in the government school at
Lower Rrule Indian agency, left there
to come to Mitchell, having in his pos
session about $500 with which he intend
ed to pay "a mortgage held by Bowdlc a.
Newcomer, of this city. So far as Is
learned he reached this city, but as their
agent ID. w. Burright. was out of the
city, the payment was not made. On
the same day Duclos was seen on the
Milwaukee depot platform In the after
noon, but since that time all trace of
was lost. A Chamberlain cores
pendent expressed the belief that Du-
clos had been enticed into one Of the
dives of the city. and that he was
dragged, robbed and murdered. Such
a transaction, however, never occurred
in this city. The Masonic lodge of Kim
ball ~endeavored to locate the missing
and it was stated to your cores
pendent that a telegram had been re-
ceived In Mitchell today that Duclos
had been found at San Francisco, Cal.

WOULD EXTEND TRADE.
Congressman Beach Takes a knock
at Canadian Railroads.

Washington, Jan, 22.-Two resolu-
tons, looking to closer trade relations
between the United States and the Pa
cific ocean ports, as well as other coun-
tries, were introduced by Representa-
tive Beach OF Ohio. One of them re-
quests the president to enter into ego
tiations with the governments Of China,
Japan, the republics n colonies OF the
American hemisphere, the Hawaiian
islands and the dominion of Canada,
with a view to securing a uniform
standard of value in trade and COM
merce.
The other resolution Is to instruct the
house committee on m to report
whether any good reason exists for con-
tinuing the bonded privilege between
the great lakes and the Pacific ocean.
1t recites that the bonded privilege for
the transportation of through freight
was granted to Canadian railways on
the theory of reciprocal convenience
and that no reciprocal advantages are
enjoyed by the United States on the
Pacific coast, and that with the subsi-
granted the Canadian Pacific and
other steamship companies are enabled
to transport tea, silk and other goods
from China and Japan at lower rates
than American companies, so that they
are given a monopoly Of traffic between
the orient and New York, Boston, Chi

OPPOSED TO SHERMAN BILL
Ticket Scalpers Say Their business
viii Re Ruined by Its Passage.

80 Ge ~
Washington, Jan. 2s.-The American
and Guaranty Ticket Brokers' associa-
tons, which include in their member
ship about all the ticket brokers in the
United States, have organized a strong
opposition TO the Sherman bill now
pending in the house, which seeks to
prohibit the scalping Of railroad tickets
Several officers of these associations
from Chicago and other cities have come
to Washington to work against the bill.
They will use the same arguments thaf
have been presented heretofore when
state legislation was attempted. They
will attempt TO prove hat a railroad
ticket is an article of merchandise, SUBJ
ject TO be bought and sold by anyone,
just as any other article. They will also
attempt to convince congress that the
business OF ticket scalping Is in the in
terests Of the travelling public and that
ticket scalpers are public b~enefactors.
They will show that many scalpers are
maintained in business by the railroads
themselves, who use them as a means
TO evade railroad rates as fixed by the
various associations. They will deny
that the legitimate scalpers engage in
the forgery and fraudulent sale of rail-
o transportation, as charged. They
will attempt to prove that their business
Is a legitimate one, entitled 10 protection
as much as the railroad business itself.
If, in spite of the brokers protest, the
Sherman bill becomes a law, the scalp
ing OF railroad tickets will be a criminal
offense, and about twenty s~calping OF
fees in Chicago, thirty in New York,
nine in Cincinnati and several in Kan
sas City, Omaha, st. Louis and dozens
OF other cities will have to quit the bust
ness. The Sherman law absolutely pro-
hibits the sale OF tickets for interstate
transportation by anyone but author
lied ticket agents. The law, however,
will not affect the sale Of tickets by
scalpers from one point to another In the
same tate.

THURSDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

Pierre, Jan. 22.-Yesterday nothing
was accomplished In the senate except
ing a discussion of the relative merits
OF the opposing railway bills, Most
every member has some objection and

PERSISTED AT SEA.
Boiler of n French Steamer Explodea
With Fatal Results.

San Francisco, Cal. Jan. lone OF
the boilers OF the French steamer Sag
halien exploded while the vessel was
off the Chinese coast OF December 2.
bound from Singapore for Hong-Kong.
Eleven of the stokers In the fire-room
and one OF the engineers was killed in
stantly by the explosion or by the scald4
'ng steam. The chief stoker was so bad.
: injured hat he died a few hours af'
terw-ard and four other firemen died the
net day as a result Of their burns. The
vessel was crowded with passengers
and for a time there was the Widest
confusion on beard.
Among the passengers were three
engineers and 20 stokers Of the French
navy, and they volunteered their ser
vices to remedy the damage. Within o
day they had the engine so far repaired
that the vessel was able to run %
six miles an hour, and a few days later
the vessel dropped anchor at Saigow.
The dead hremen and engineers were

ISOLATE CONSERVATIVES.
New York Adopts Up-to-Date Moth
DDS Against Tuberculosis.

New York, Jan. 22.-Thc health board
passed an amendment to the sanitary
code declaring pulmonary tuberculosis
to be an infectious and communicable
disease. and requiring physicians TO re-
port all cases coming under their OBJ
servation. The board proposes to treat
consumption in the same manner as
cases of diphtheria and other contagi-
u diseases Of a mild nature. Isola-
ton will be ordered IL the circumstances
require. The amendment provides that
every physician in the city shall be
obliged to report to the sanitary bureau
within n week the name, address,
age, sex and occupation of any person
suffering from the disease who happens
to come under his notice.
This amendment to the sanitary code
is the outcome of the efforts of three
board physicians, who. after inquiring
into the results of the precautions TAX
en- by the board Of health recently, re-
solved that. although the number Of
deaths resulting from tuberculosis had
declined 80 per cent, still better precau-
lions might be taken to prevent the
spread of the disease.

Since the last OF November the present

able for all kinds Of stock, and, unless
the coming spring should prove unusu-
ally bad, the loss of range cattle will be
remarkably light.
