Black Hills Asks SO Much It's Chance.
May Become ImperIled, '-.. r.


DEADWOOD, s. D,-The chances Of J.
c: McLemore Of Lead for secretary of
the senate are like to be imperiled bv
the announcement of W. A. Remer Of
DeadWood that he is again a candidate for
chief clerk Of the house.
It had been understood that Mr.. Remer
was not a candidate, and On the strength
OF this Mr.. McLemore has obtained prom
lses or support from many senators elect,
Mr., Raoner now asserts that he was not
consulted and did not authorize the
statement that he was not to the a candi-
date He acknowledges that he aspires
to the superintendency OF the Tinted
States assay office at Deadwood, but the
appointment will not be made for some
time, and he does not consider that this
interiors with his candidacy for the chief
clerkship. sa, 49, =

awarded to the Hills, the indications are
that there will be spirited contest.

MINNESOTA
lrAscA COUNTY LANDS

Misunderstood and underestlnnated In the
PASTA Rush of Settlers.
BEMIDJI, MINN.--Immigration into
northern Itasca county during the last
three months has been taxing the re-
sources Of the Minnesota & International
railway to the utmost. Both the freight
and passenger traffic has been very
heavy. The logging operations in the
vicinity of Tenstrike and Blackduck and
northeastward from the latter point,
have compelled the taking into that coun-
try of upwards of 5000 men. large num-
hers of horses, heavy logging equipments
and camp supplies of all kinds and de-
scrfptions. much beyond the expectations
OF the management of the road. In ad-
dition to this, the settlement Of north
En ltasca county extending from the end
OF the line northeastward along it's
survey as far as Koochiching, a distance
OF upwards of seventy miles. has been
something phenomenal. Starting in one
year ago with a freight train and an aa-
commodation passenger coach from this
point to Blackjack. the Minnesota & In
ternational has for the last two months
been running a daily freight train from
ten to twenty cars, with an accommoda-
ton passenger coach, and also a. daily
passenger train of five coaches; and each
train leaves Benidji under what might
seem to be the auspfcies of some excur-
sion association. -
The Great Northern railway runs
both day and a night train through
this place from Grand Forks to Duluth
and return, and each train drops off
from fifty to 100 passengers destined for
northern 1tasca county. a territory which
has been much underestimated, ACCORDING
to the stories OF returning homesteaders
Their universal story is that after cross
ing what is known as the big swamp
few miles beyond Bridge in Itasca
county, the country is rich in agriculture
resources, and that where timber cruisers
operating for the lumber companies, and
the railroad engineers as we'll, have re-
ported bottomless swamps and a1noskeags
there are merely swamps with two feet OF
black muck upon the surface which are
underlald with a clay almost of the hard
pan character, and that the whole country
Is OF such a character that ten of fifteen
years of the sawnaill. the stump puller
and the sturdy settler ought to make OF
1t a region as rich as Stearns or Wright
counties.
The Minnesota & International has
made ~ connections at this point with
the Great Northern, and the two roads
are endeavoring to establish a joint rate
which will be satisfactory to, the people
along the line. and which will assist
In the development Of the country. This
Joint arrangement is already making al
Belnidji busy transfer yard, necessi-
tating the constant use Of switch en-

Schley's 5000 Piano.

Washington Telegram to the New York
 World.
 Whenever Admiral and Mrs. Schley have nothing else to do they put in half an hour wondering where the magni- ficent mahogany piano that stands in their parolr came from. There is a re- ceipted bill for $1000 from the piano manu- lecturers in the admirals desk, but that sheds no light upon the mystery, for the name of the person who bought the piano is not on the bill.
 van drew up in front of the Rich mond on Saturday and several men be- gan to unload a piano, which they said was for Admiral Schley. The Admiral came downstairs protesting that he had ordered no piano. One of the men hand ed him the receipted bin for 5000 and also a short note. The note partially cleared up the situation. It said:
 Please accept this gift from sim cere admirer, one who desires no noto- riety, but who wishes to take this method of expressing his regard for you"
 There was no signature, nothing on the paper to indicate the identity of the writer, and the handwriting was wholly unfamiliar to both Admiral and Mrs. Schley. The men declined to accept a tip saying that they had been paid and had been instructed to take nothing from Admiral Schley The admiral could learn nothing from them concerning the gift.
 Admiral Schley's mail Is immense. He receives gifts nearly every day. The piano is the most costly yet received and one of a very few sent anonymously. The donors generally prefer that their gener- osity be unknown.
 Several days ago Admiral Schley re- ceived an eight-page letter of the most fiattering tone. which concluded with the request that the admiral loan the writer S250
