Sioux City & Pacific Dept.

Prospects are that the old Sious
City e Pacific will soon be out of th,
woods relative to its ownership, al
though the North Western has been 6
very good guardian to it for many
years past. tits now proposed to Gre
ate special commission to make set
tlement and adjustment with the com
pany as between it and the government,
over it's lndeb.ness to the United
States.
Such a bill has been reported favor
ably in the house, and the secretary of
the treasury and the attorney general
are named in the bill to effect the set.
Elements. provided that they can do SO
on conditions that will be to the be ct
interests of the government. As 1t
stands now the road is leased to the
Northwestern, and its indebtedness to
the government, as shown on the books
after credits are deducted, is in excess
of "a 100000 1t is seventy six miles
in length from Missouri Valley to
Sioux city, and is now under the oper.
alive management of the Elkhorn. II

struction is this part Of the country
cost fabulous amounts, and was bond
aided by the government
The senate committee, which also
recommends the pending bill, makes
this report.
"Under the provisions of law ap
plicable the government, after default
in the payment of The subsidy bonds,
may take possession of the railroad
and operate it for its own emolument
or may foreclose its second mortgage
The first named remedy involves the
propiety of government operation of
railroads, an experiment that does net
commend itself to your committee.
The second remedy named involves
the necessity of advancing from the
treasury the sum of $1,62S,OO0 to pay
off the first mortage on the road. This
being done upon decree had, the gov.
ernment will be required to sell the
road at public auction for whatever
sum it will bring This remedy does
not commend itself to your commit
tee, as they are satisfied from the his
tory and present condition of the road

A Serious Question.

u has long been contended that
right will sooner or later prevail, and
that God will bring victory to his peo
pie. Just now the beers, of Africa, q
brave, hardy people, devoted to the
religion of the Bible, are fighting Eng
land, n Ation Of aggression, and the
Beers go to battle with the Bible in
one hand and gun in the other, ready
to defend their religion and their
homes against foreign foe. And the
question is: viii Gnd in his wisdom,
give victory to the nation Of Bible
worshipers, or to the nation who goes
to Africa to spoil the homes of His
worshipers In ancient history, OF
rather in the history of the Bible, vict-
ory always came to the people of God
and the few, when In the right, over.
come their enemies-Ch Christianity and
the followers OF Christ ought to be
able to overcome all opposition, but
will they That's the question.

McCarthy's Mishaps" is a red
hot Irish comedy Of the right
kind. There is real humor in
every situation. Barney Fergu--
son, who standsat the head of Irish
comedians, as the luckless McCar-
thy is extremely funny in the var
ious mishaps to which he falls
heir. He creates as much laughter
ss one could possibly stand in a
single evening. His meeting with
Miss Primrose, maiden lady
with everything but youth to fas-
cinste. creates much amusement,
and the marriage which eventual
ly takes place is probably the
most serious mishap into which
unlucky MCCARTHY stumbles. AT

DIVERSIONS OF FARGo1TEs.

Fargo, July 1S.-Last night the Ar
cade saloon in Moorhead was the scene
OF desperate and bloody fight be-
tween two Fargo men, and in the con-
fict one bit the others thumb off at
the joint. The quarrel started over
some trivial matter, both men being
slightly intoxicated, and before any
one could interfere there was a vicious
mix-up and shower of blows. In
the clinch one man got his thumb in
the others mouth, when in an instant
his teeth closed down upon the mem
Der and bit it off. Both men crossed
the river to the Fargo side before any
arrests were made, and it is not known
what action, If any, will be taken in
the matter.

SUFFERING AT NOME.

Washington, July 16.-The secretary
of the treasury has received letter
from Mr.. G. Rudolph, living at S2G
Broadway, Brooklyn, N. Y, on the sit
uation at Cape Nome, Alaska. The
department sees no reason to doubt
the trustworthiness of the story told
by Mr.. Rudolph, and suggests it's pub
ication. 1t is becoming daily more
apparent to the officials that the condi-
tions in the new gold fields are almost
certain to result in great suffering dur
ing the coming winter, especially as
epidemics of smallpox and typhoid
fever are threatened. The letter fol-
lows, in part:
There are far more destitute people
at Nome than people on the outside
know of. l know that the San Bias
had steerage hunks numbered up to
800 and over 100 were in the cabin,
while there were also about twenty
stowaways. On the Aberdeen they
told me that they had about twenty
stowaways, and no doubt every boat
had great many stowaways. l spoke
to dozens Of men, and they told me that
they had no food, but expected to go
to work when they reached Nome. A
meal costs from 81 to 81 80; coffee and
pie, or three crullers, 25 cents; bed
from 81 to So, or when you furnish
your own blankets, from 81 to 81 so
Canned goods are so cents a can;
bread, % cents loaf; fresh meats,
from IS cents to 81 pound, and other
things in proportion. There was only
cne toilet for the public, and there you
had to pay. For water the cost was
% cents for four buckets, and wood
was nearly all gone, except at a point
several miles down the beach. Even
the little to be found there was half
rotten and water-soaked. Coal oil is
81 a case, and lumber $3.50 for dry and
Sl25 for green, per Thousand, and is
scarce at that. The water wells saw
were from II to Is feet deep, and are
sure to be contaminated by all of these
people being huddled together. When
left, there were tents twenty deep and
about three miles long. Now you
don't want to forget that it took more
than fifty vessels to bring all of these
people to Nome, to say nothing of over
5000 coming from the Yukon country.
There are no inducements for the
steamship companies to send their YES
sells back again for busted mob. You
may think that am cold-foot miner,
but ask any miner who was in that
country whether he saw any gold dust
In circulation. That is the way to tell
a good camp. In eight days saw
only one man pay for purchase with
dust. When asked about it, he said
that it was from the Klondyke."
