4 REMARKABLE lOT.
Spend the Winter Months Begging
Among the People Of the
Adjoining States.
MANY OF THEM ARE WELL TO 90
Eureka, the Terminus of the Mil.

Great Shipping Points.
Some Figures.

Chamberlain, Jan. 10.--It has been
ascertained that there are II few indi.
viduals living on the Sisseton reserva-
tion who make n practice during the
winter s of going upon begging
expeditions, much to the injury Of the
entire state. They make regular trips
with teams and wagons into the south
ern part of the state, and also into
adjacent portions of North Dakota and
Minnesota. They tell n pitiful story
of want and d%estitution on the reser-
walton, and ask for contributions OF
clothing, bedding, provisions or any
thing of value that they can get. Some
of these professional begggars are we'll
to do, having comfortable buildings,
small herds of cattle and horses, and
are well able to take care of them
selves. 1t is related that one %enterprss-
ing vagabond hired n man to go along
and drive the team for him, and when
even a stop was made the driver would
be left sitting in the wagon while the
other would go in and tell his story,
saying the man i'll the wagon was in
destitute circumstances, had a large
family to support, with nothing in the
house for them to eat or wear, etc.
On a recent occasion a farmer at
whose place they stopped VENT out and
interviewed the driver, who was, Of
course amazed to learn that he was the
one in whose behalf the appeal had
been made. The imposters are old
timers on the reservation, and there is
no doubt they have been doing a thriv.
ing begging business for many years.

improvements at yenmillion.

Vermillion, Jan. 19.-During the past
week a careful estimate OF the improve
ment in building for the year 1897, and
the sum total expended in this city, has
been made. with the assistance of con-
tractors and lumber dealers, and II is
found that over s35. 900 has been thus
spent. Most of this. however, has been
expended in Improvement of residences,
few new buildings having been erected.
In 1886 the improvement was Just the
opposite, many buildings being built
during that ear. Contractors are of
the opinion that 1898 will be the best in
this line for many years. Vermillion's
hotel accommodations are very poor,
and 1t is thought that a substantial
building for this purpose will be erected
next summer.
The board Of health of this county has
issued a warning to parties hauling dead
hogs to desist or a heavy fine will be i'm.
posed. During the past two months
cholera has done much injury in this
section, n many farmers have los.
their entire herds. 1t is claimed by the
board hat the disease has been widely
spread by the farmers themselves, who,
when the hogs died, would Immediately
bring them to this city and sell them, oil
take the dead animals to Sioux City
thus spreading the disease in both South.
Dakota and Iowa. One stock raiser LOST
113 hogs in a little less than three weeks.

A Great Shipping Point.

Aberdeen, Jan. 19.-There is prob
ably not a town in the northwest that
transacts the shipping business, ac-
cording to its size, that does Eureka,
the terminus of the Milwaukee road
northwest of Aberdeen. From August
/ to December 81, 1897, there were re.
ceived and shipped from that station
1,402 Ears of wheat and 175 ears OF
flax, or a total of 1877. AT a low es.
innate each car will average CSC
bushels, thus making a grand total OF
1,025,O5O bushels. A comparative
statement also shows a we'll defined
increase in the stock shipping bust
ness. During 1897 there We're shipped
from Eureka 1877 cars of cattle. IS
carr of hogs and &c cars of sheep, max
ing a total shipment of 261 cars, as
against JAG cars for 1896. In 1896 Ilu.
reka shipped 1920 pounds of wool.
and in 1897 $500 pounds. During the
past year 406,O65 pounds of butter
were shipped out, also 1886 cases OF
eggs or 1885, ESQ dozen. The number OF
cars of lumber received during the
year was 375. AS nothing tends tc
more fully demonstrate the prosperous
condition of a country than the fact
that q large amount of building mate.
rial is handled and wrought into sub
stantial buildings, the figures last Civ.
ell have much significance.

Yankton County and Treas
urcr Who Lost Money in
the Scousal Bank.

Yankton, jan. 1S.-The meeting of
business men TO discuss and take ac-
tive measures in regard to the secnr-
ing of a starch factory was enthusi-
astic. It is the plan of A. 7. Beattie,
who is agitating the question, to or
ganize a stock company with a capt.
tai of $50, 900, of which $4,000 is to be
subscribed at once. The site of the
building has already been decided up
on, although not made public. Mr..
Beattie states, however, that it is to
be erected within the city limits. The
mill, when completed, will employ
twenty-five people at the start. About
800 bushels of corn will he consumed
daily, and the product, it is claimed,
can be converted into cash within
twenty days. The mills are to grind
the year around. Subscription for
stock was started, Mr.. 15eattie going
down for So, 1000. A number of others
signed for from $500 to $1,000 each.
A committee will be appointed by
Mayor Blatt to solicit the full $4,000
without delay.
ers, acting upon the advice Of the
states attorney, have agreed to settle
in the threatened suits against ex-
County Treasurer John Max's bonds
men for $500. 1t was during Mr.. Max's
term of office that the we'll remem-
bered Scougal bank failure occurred,
in which $1,000 of the county funds,
placed there by Mr.. Max, were lost.
He has always commended that he
placed the lost funds in the Scougal
bank under orders received from the
county commissioners, and had the
case been taken into court the bonds
men would have utilized this fact as
an important factor in the defense.
George Hoyt of Sibley, Ia, who has
been visiting his old home in Cedar
county, Nebraska, has secured n mann
moth dog, a mixture of mastiff and
shepherd bloods, weighing 112 pounds,
which he intends to use with others
of equal size in making up a team of
dogs, to be worked by himself and
partner in their trip across the Chill
koot pass this coming spring. The
two men figure that they-can accom-
plish more with n team of good dogs
than they could with any other means
of conveyance.
Addison j.. Brooks, well known
throughout this section, died yester-
day at the home of his parents, near
this city, where he has resided for
some years past. He has been failing
in health for several months, but the
sorrowful announcement of his death
is received with unfeigned regret by
his many friends.

THE BIG STRIKE IS ON.
Nine Thousand Operato rs in the New

Reduction.
Boston, Jan. 17.-Betwcen so, 900 and
10000 skilled operatives employed
in and about seventy of the chief cot.
ton mills of the New England states
will today come under the sweeping
order of the new wage scale which en-.
tails a reduction of 10 per cent OF
more. This reduction will bring IN in
New Bedford, Mass, Lewiston and
Biddcford, Me-. labor strikes which
may prove the beginning of an indus
trial battle greater in extent and more
disastrous i'll effect than any in the
previous history of cotton m%anufactur-
ing in the United States.
The battle against the incorpora-
tions undoubtedly would have been
fought every where had not the voice
OF men and women who were illy-pre.
pared at this time of the year to go
into %itleness been needed by the con.
servatives. AS it is, a great majorit,
OF the persons employed by nine coz
porations in New Bedford and one cor.
poration each in the two Maine cities
will take upon themselves the task Of
forcible resistance to reduction.
In New Bedford nine corporations
represent twenty-five mills and EN-.
ployed nearly 10000 persons.
The strike will be directed by the Ia
Dor unions, the lead being taken by
the Mule Spinners union, the national
executive committee Of which has
sanctioned the strike opposition and
promised financial aid.

Woonsocket. RI. Jan. 17.-Twenty-
three hundred employees of the Social
Manufacturing company and of Gin
