The Sioux City Journal says in re-
cent issue that, lat last a scheme has
been devised for the defense of the
late populist Legislature of South Da-
kota and praise of the members. No
individual correspondent or newspaper
man could be found willing to under
take tie task, SO reform press bureau
has been organized at Pierre to send out
the defense and puffery in installments,
which are to be published in reform
newspapers. A reading of some of
these letters leaves the impression that
the state of South Dakota is just now
paying for official and clerical service
which is being given largely to reform
literature, but no one Of the populist
office holders at Pierre, nor all Of them
together, can make black look white"

A Raging Storm.

A Cheyenne, Wyo, special of March
30th, to the Omaha Bee, says: "A
severe blizzard has been raging
throughout southern Wyoming and
western Nebraska for the past twenty
four hours. The storm has been un-
usually severe between this place and
Rawlins 200 miles west. In the greater
part of the storm district stock is in
good condition, and to the present time,
the losses have been nominal. 1t is
feared, however, that a continuation of
the blizzard will cause great losses
among sheep and range cattle. Passen-
gers trains on the Union Pacific lines
out of here are making schedule time,
the track being kept open with rotary
snowplows. No trains were run on the
Cheyenne & Northern line and the Bur
lington trains into the city are delayed.
Rawlins, Wyo., March 30.-The worst
snowstorm ofthe season has prevailed
today. 1t is wild blizzard from the
north Over a foot of snow has fallen,
much of which is piled in huge drifts.
Railroad trains are all late. But few
freights have been sent out. Snow
pluns naye kept tIIe IauK UIeai ur-
tween here and Laramie, the fall west
being lighter. All stages were late to-
night. The temperature is slowly fall
ing. Should the weather turn cold
many sheep will perish, as they are

A Golden Opportunity.

That the Black Hills now offer
golden opportunity for the investment
of large capital in the establishment Of
gold reduction plants is fact admitting
of no shadow of doubt, and plainly ap-
parent to the most casual observer Not
only is the fact apparent that the mills
now in operation are deficient in their
aggregate capacity to meet the pressing
demand, which is constantly and rapidly
increasing, but the further fact that the
present rate charged for the reduction
of ores, which excludes from operation
much of a lower grade, which, iftreatcd
at the reduced rate which a healthy
competition would insure, would yield
a margin of profit, is also very weighty
consideration. Upon this important
subject the Black Hills Mining Review,
in it last issue, submits the following
very pertinent and sensible article:
Capital could not be better employed
this time in the Black Hills than in
the construction of large plants
chlorination, cyanide or SIN mslters-to be
operated exclusively on custom ores.
If the cost Of chlorination or cyaniding
was reduced to SIS per ton for treatment,
works today of 500 tons daily capacity
could be constantly supplied with a
grade of ore of value between $40 and
SIS in gold. Such grade of ore in the
hands of individual mine owners, with
out tine means to build reduction works
to treat it, is either blocled out in the
mines or lies on the dumps by the thou
sands of tons In every siliceous ore dis
trict in Lawrence county. The cost OF
reduction reduced to SIS per ton-which
would be profit to the mill men of 100
per cent on every ton if the works were
cyanide or chlorination, provided they
were properly managed by onpetent
metallurgists-would give many zine
owner an opportunity to realize profit
from ore that now will not pay the
freight and treatment charges let alone
the cost Of mining"

Galena Road Ordered BUTT.

The management of the Burlington
sys.em this week disposed Of the propo.
sition to build branch to Galena as
soon as possible. The subject has been
considered for some time, the company
hesitating until 1t could be demonstrate
ed that the line would pay a profit
The district has been investigated re-
peatedly by representatives of the road
and by this action we take it that the
company is assured Of ample traffic to
justify the expenditure Of so large sum
as will be necessary to construct the
line. The Times learns that contracts
will be let at once, and before the
middle of April operations will be un-
der headway. 1t will take about two
months to complete the grade and by
the first of July the brauch will be in
operation.
The branch will be standard gauge
and be built from Englewood, following
down the divides into the Galena dis
trict, with spurs to all the important
mines of that and the Yellow creek
districts. Permanent surveys have been
made over a portion of the proposed
route and a corps of engineers is expect
ed tomorrow to 60 into the field at once.
This will be joyful news to the people
of Galena and that district, and the
Times rejoices with them in the first
important step to bringing into touch
with the world one of the most promis-
ing districts in the world.-Times.

Hills exhibit at the Trans NJ Mississippi
exposition at Omaha next year? asks
the Deadwood Pioneer, Every other
western state and mining camp will be
represented and the Black Hills cannot
afford to be left out. Instead of making
general exhibit of all the ores only
the best samples eff the best characters
should be sent, together with specimens
of building stone, timber, and agricultur-
al products and some novel attraction
similar to the mineral house sent to the
worlds fair by the ladies of Custer.
Who will invent or suggest something

The Forestry Reserve.

A Sioux City Journal Washington
special telegram says: "a vigorous
effort is being made OH the part of west
ern senator's and representatives to
induce President Mckinley to vacate
the order of President Cleveland setting
apart several million acres Of land as
forest reserves. Among those who
called on the president this morning in
this connection were Senators Allison,
Pettigrew, Mantle, Shoup and Clark,
ex-senator Moody, and Representive
Hartman, of Montana. They criticised
the order in forcible terms and declared
that if carried out it would work great
injustice to the west, and be a serious
blow at its development and prosperity.
1t is not that the gentlemen object to
the general principle Of reserying great
tracts Of land for the preservation Of
forests, but it is argued that President
Cleveland in his order acted upon the
advice of theorists solely and that he
had no definite knowledge Of the terri
tory involved or Of the damage which
that order would do to vested rights
President Mckinley, after carefully
listening to the arguments presented,
which, by the way, occupied nearly an
hour, said that hs would give the sub
ject most careful consideration and he
had already requested Secretary Bliss
to furnish him with all the data avaia-
BILE in the interior department bearing
upon the subject"

DEAR SIR Il received your letter Of
March 18th. On the 18th of March |

Attempted Suicide.

The Deadwood Pioneer oflast Sunday

ed suicide at that place:
Major NJ. Garland, cousin of Judge
John Z, Garland, judge of the United

Ayres & Wardman's hardware store last
night, few minutes after o'clock, by
shooting himself in the left breast with
32-calibre Smith & Wesson revolver.
lie is a young man, lawyer by pro
fession, and came here from Sioux Falls,
this state, FIVE weeks ago yesterday. to
enter the employ of the Homestake
company at Lead City, but according to
his story, his cousin, Judge Garland, be-
cause Of some grievance he had against
him, intercepted him and threw him
out of job and he has been here ever
since, without money and without
means Of support. He boarded at Mrs.
l.. &. Miller's, and confided his trouble
to Miss Lyon. telling her repeatedly dur
ing the last week that unless he secured
employment or received money from
home by Sunday he would kill himself
Miss Lyon wrote TO his parents at
Corona. Mich, but they regarded his
threats idly. Yesterday evening he eE.
tered Ayres & Wardman's and said he
wanted to buy revolver, as he was
going among the Hills. Barney Hurley,
the salesman, handed him weapon,
and box of cartridges. Garland then
started for the back part Of the store to
see Mr.. Ayres, tearing open the cartridge
box and loading the revolver, and when
half way between the door and the
bookkeeper's desk, placed the revolver
to his breast and fired, He dropped the
weapon and wheeled about demanded
doctor be brought and something be
done for him Immediately. He was
placed on the counter and DR.. Dickinson
being summoned found that the ball
had penetrated the scapular and the
upper portion of the left lung in its
course, and had lodged just under the
skin, back of the shoulder blade. He
was removed to his room at Mrs.
Mille.'s and is being taken care ofthere,
DR.. Dickinson said the wound would
not necessarily result fatally unless
severe hemorrhage ensued.

several days, and has repeatedly init
mated that he would do away with him.

trouble at the b. & NJ. depot with ,iub-
bard Patterson, an attache of the Jour
nal office, who was drunk and quarrel
some. Patterson struck him and he
drew a revolver and threw it at Patter-
son. This weapon was not loaded, and
is now in the custody of Judge tarly.
Garland swore out complaint against
Patterson, and the latter was arrested,
his trial being set for Monday at p. m
Garland says his cousin, the United
States Judge, accuses him of haying
and he says this is why he was deprived
of the promised position at the Home
stake. He protests that he is innocent
of the charge. While he was being
carried out of the store he expressed
his disappointment that his attempt to
finish himself had not succeeded, as he
had contemplated it for long time"

Mr.. Phillips informs us that the finan-
cial institutions Of the Hills had offered
to take this class of state paper TO the
amount Of $780, ,000-uhich is an exceed
ingly good showing for the financia!
standing of the state, as also condition
of finances in this part of the country.

finances in the state, and among other
things says:

penses of the state, and in Difference to
his wishes State Treasurer Phillips re-
fused to further raise money in this
manner, but began to register warrants
as fast rs they were presented for pay
ment. These warrants draw per cent
interest, and as the populists are oppos-
ed TO paying interest, the governor
found himself in predicament. The
credit of the state would be impaired
by the registration of warrants and the
interest would be as great as that paid
for funding bonds He finally conclud-
ed that the state treasurer wa smore of a
inancier than he was and withdrew his
objections. Funding warrants were
then issued to the amount of $4,000, for
immediate expenses, and the credit Of
the state under Treasurer Phillips ad-
ministration was shown to be good en-
ough for anybody. The bonds were
sold before they were signed.
