DAKOTA IN WINTER.

THE HOUSES KEPT TOO WARM

DURING THE COOL SEASON.

John H. Beadle Tells a Number of the Characteristics of tlie Country and Its Inhabitants—How Land Is Taken Up.

The New Claim Method.

[Special Correspondence.]

HURON", D. Tm Feb. 15.—I have one fault to find with the living here—they keep their booses too warm. In the far south my standing complaint was that the houses were too cold. In south Georgia and Florida I never could keep warra indoors in cold weather unless I went to bed, but I could go out and Tralk myself warm any ordinary winter day. Here a well built house has double "windows, and the stove takes up «s much room as a piano elsewhere and in it the blaze dieth aiot and the fire is not quenched day or night —especially if it is a hay burner. The consequence is, one has to be careful of his wraps "ingoing outdoors and I only wonder that coughs and colds are so rare. If one should jgo from Cuba to Canada in December, as fast -as a lightning train could take him, the doctors would call him a lunatic yet we do "worse than that many times a day. By steam •coils and base burners we create au artificial •climate over the whole house, then we go at •one step from Cuba to Canada, from TO degs. .above to 10 degs. below outdoors. Good clothing protects the body, but what of the •delicate lining of the nose and lungs? All I can say is that I have not had the sign of a •cold since I entered the territory, and there is loss catarrh than in any eastern section I 3xave visited. I used to think it was the thing to send invalids south in winter I am

MOW satisfied that the average results are not for the better, and perhaps, in the cruel kindness of nature, it is necessary to kill off the •weak and strengthen the strong. By and by, perhaps, civilization will reach a point where all weaklings will voluntarily give up and die for the benefit of the race but I have personal reasons for being glad that it will not tie so in my time.

Despite the cold, immigrants are pouring into this country as if it were a section of Eden. The record of the Huron land office is amazing. In the four years since it was established there have been located and filed on 13,151 pre-emptions, 11,914 homesteads and 8,378 tree claims, a total of 33,443 quarter sections and nearly as many families, besides the rapidly growing towns. For three months the Chicago and Northwestern road brought Eix coachos full of immigrants daily, besides a much larger number who came on freight trains with their household stuff. It is claimed that in one season that road brought tiere 80,000 immigrants and prospectors. For one year two land offices of Dakota did more business than all those in the other territories and all the far west states except Kansas and Nebraska. It was the great invasion of central Dakota—a "rash" not equa'ed probably in the most exciting days of California or Pike's Peak. For a while vast tracts were taken as fast as they could be surveyed and then whole townships were occupied by squatters in advance of the survey, they deciding disputed claims by lot and agreeing to stand by each other for legal location. One township fifty miles away was taken in a body by 144 squatters, one for each quarter section and when the survey was completed they marched in as a battalion and filed. It Js scarcely necessary to add that no later •comers interfered with them.

Beadle county, of which Huron is the capital, is seven townships long and five wide, tbus containing 1,260 square miles so the land settled in this one district in four years is equivalent to seven counties like this, or about eighteen of the average in Indiana. IVom here to the Missouri river all the good land at all convenient to the railroad is taken "but northwest there is much fine land yet vacant, especially in Faulk county. A branch railroad from Redfleld, on tho Chicago and Northwestern road, is going through that, county early in the spring. Of course, every intending immigrant knows all about the pre-emption and homestead laws, but the true claim method Is not so well known. To get 160 acres by •pre-emption costs $203 in payment and fees to get a homestead, is $18 in fees to get a true claim the samd as a homestead, with longer time and more work, but a man has a small fortune "when he gets it. You must first file as for a homestead and break five acres of sod the first year. The second year cultivate that five acres and break another the third year, plant the first five in timber, cultivate the second five and break a third, and the fourth year plant the second five then you have filled the requirements of the law. You can plant either by seeds or cuttings and must plow among the young trees enough to keep weeds and grass down till the trees get large enough to shade the ground. You can make final proof and get Uncle Sam's warranty deed at the end of eight years, or any time before the end of fourteen years and until you do, your land is exempt from all taxes! This item alone will more than repay the cost of planting, and ten acres of timber is as little as a man should plant anyhow, even if he takes homestead or pre-emption.

My first impression was that this country was monotonously level but that is all in the eye. As a matter of fact, the James river rons in a trough from near Minne Wakau to Vermillion on the Missouri and though the sides of the trough rise very gradually, they rise high. For instance, this city is only 1,290 feet above tide, or 685 feet above Chicago but westward the country rises 600 feet in sixty miles, and eastward but little less. The summit of the divide east of here is 500 feet higher than this, while the water level of the Missouri, at Pierre, is 190 feat higher, than tho town plot of Huron. Of course the Missouri has to get down hill very rapidly to. make the descent from there to Vermilion, "where tbe James joins it yet the James has a fall of but one foot in five miles of its course. It might be made a canal through its whole length if it were not so discouragingly crooked. Its crooks are all within a narrow range, however, confined to the immediate valley and between that and the first level of the "trough" there is a considerable bluff. The summits of the dividing ridges, both east and west of here, are called couteaus, which tnay be freely translated backbones.

The geology is peculiar, and the paleontolcgy would set Cuvier wild. They have found eo many curious things that one need not be at all surprised if they find a petrified elephant! But I have observed that amateur geologists, as a rule, are given to finding things. The big pile of petrification? they exhibit here is certainly curious but I will wait till I get farther north before deciding whether this region was raised above

BILL NYft

Tells IIow He Searched for a Iarber. William's Bravery.

AsHEVHifjB, N. C., Feb. 1

When I first came here I began to cast about me for a good, fluent barber, with whom I could associate during the winter one who would not be ashamed to be seen conversing with me, and, still withal, a man who could administer a clean shave without pain.

I fell into the hands of a tall, brunette orphan about 55 years of age, named Plum Levy—pronounced Levi Everybody said that Plum was a good haircutter, and, very likely, a good shaver, too. It was even reported that people came here frequently from New York to get their hair trimmed.

The first time I visited the shop Plum wasn't there personally. I took the chair of an assistant. It was a very disagreeable chair, with caked places in it. It was upholstered with body brussels, and the seat had bones in it. The room is heated by means of a fireplace, and the water for shaving is boiled in a saucepan on the coals. The assistant was a perfect gentleman, though. He did everything he could in asocial way to make me forget my troubles. For half an hour he just simply dazzled me with his conversational powers, and threw every influence about me to make me contented. He told me so much about the country and its resources that when he got through with me I wrung his hand with wet eyes. This may seem to be a physical impossibility, but I did it.

For some time after that I decided not to shave any more. My beard is ginger colored with a dash of red in it but others have risen to affluence and won a deathless name who wore this kind of beard, so I thought I would let it grow and thus be able to horrify my children into a more thorough state of discipline than I am now able to maintain. Now and then I would go into tho shop, however, hoping that Plum might be there, and in that case I would have one more old fashioned shave before I abandoned myself to the wild and woolly depths of a tough, red beard but Mr. Levy was engaged in building awing on his house, and so I would inhale a little smoke from the fireplace and go away. Later on I decided that I would give the other assistant a hack at my beard, He looked like a likely young man whose parents were dependent on him, so one day I got up into his chair.

His chair was^not so hard* to sit in as the first one, but it had a very feverish breath and the head rest occasionally slipped a cog and fell about four inches, like the cellar door of a gibbet. I stood this until I got shaved down to a line even with the angle of the jaw, and then I said I did not care about having my throat whiskers shaved off. I ptfid my reckoning and went away with a red tippet of ginger colored plush around the suburbs of my neck like a middle aged Mormon on his way to the endowment house.

In two weeks a man who claimed to be friendly to my interests came to me and in a hoarse voice informed ma ^that Plum Levy was at work in the shop.

I went there at a rapid Tate. In the corner near the chair, with a blue fly net on it, stood a tall gentleman of African descent. He smiled pleasantly on irte through a pair of iron bound spectacles and told me in a haughty manner to be seated. I sprang gayly into his red old chair, knocking out the dust and hair of forgotten generations, and Plum Levy ran his skinny black fingers over the desolate site of my once hair. It did not take him long to decide that it was doubtless a shave that I desired. I like to meet a man, be he white or black, who can jump at a conclusion tbiat way with the utmost agility and always hit it right.

He got some hot water out of the saucepan, slashed his brush around it, banked up my nostrils with lather, and when I had to open my mouth in order to get a place to breathe through, he stabbed that full of the most unpalatable soapsuds I ever ate.

He then paused in order to try on my eyeglasses, which I had deposited on the sink. Evidently they did not fit him, for he resumed his own with a sigh. All this he did with the utmost freedom.

I can imagine how such a man would act when he got a chance at emancipation, Wouldn't he gorge himself? Wouldn't he like to get away into the woods somewhere by the side of a carload of freedom and just kind of founder himself I wot so.

He picked out a razor with a white handle, such as agricultural papers offer to boys for •ne new name, and he mowed around over my fluffy chcek, turning my head over so that the midday sun could shine into my works, until I moaned in a low key in spite of myself. Oh, how I wanted to go home! How I begged to see my family once more! How I told Mr. Levy that I knew I had'dono wrong, and that I had written things about the southern climate that were too severe, and that if I had my life to live over again I would not do so but, oh, would he not give me one more chance to reform? Would he not let mo look once more upon the faces of my wife and children before he' cut upon the other side of my neck

At last he relented, and I went to the office of a physician. My friends who recommended Mr. Levy now get out of it by stating that they supposed I wanted my hair cut. They say they never claimed that Plum Levy could shave for sour apples, but he can just more than cut hair.—Bill Nye in Boston Globo.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE,

Appalling Work of the Eurojjcan Earthquake Yesterday.

Three Hundred Persons Killed Who Sought Refuge in a Church.

Fifteen Hundred Killed at One Place.—Fearful Condition at Nice.

LONDON, February 24.—Further dis patches concerning the earthquakes in southern Europe state that although

there have been no further shocks at Nice, the panic has not yet subsided. Fugitives are fleeing in every direction. The people are afraid to re-enter their houses and hotels, and last evening the heights back of the city were crowded with refugees. Two thousand English, American and Russian visitors were camped out during the night on the elevated ground. Six thousand pereons have left the city and started for Paris. The son of Mr. Albert N. Hathaway, the American Consul at Nice, was seriously injured.

There have been no further disturbances at Monte Carlo. The place is filled with thousands of refugees from Cannes, Nice, Mentone and San Remr.

It is difficult to find shelter for the great number of people, and last night many of them were compelled to sleep out. A more confident feeling prevails today. Gaming has been suspended at Monte Carlo and a band is playing on the terrace for the purpose of restoring confidence to the frightened people.

Another shock was felt at Mentone today. It was eo severe that houses were shaken. No one was injured. Additional details concerning the damage done by yesterday's shock show that in some cases villages built on the mountain sides were toppled into the valleys Three railway trains have been dispatched with food for the sufferers. A number of soldiers have also been Bent to assist them.

ROME, Feb. 24.—Details have been received this morning of the results of the earthquake yesterday, showing that the effects were far more serious than was thought. The loss of life and destruction of property is learned to have been terrible. The most startling news comes from the Genoese Riviera. Over 1,500 people were killed in that district. At the village of Bajardo, situated at the top of a hill, a namber of the inhabitants took refuge in a church when the shocks were first felt. A subsequent and greater shock demolished the church and 300 of the people who were in it were killed. The destruction of property in the sedtions of Italy visited by the earthquakes was immense and widespread.

PARIS, Feb. 24—4 p. M.—A renewal of earthquake shocks occurred in the southern section of France. A terrible disaster is momentarily expected. Nice, Cannes and Mentone are half deserted Fears are expressed for the safety of the Prince of Wales and the Orleans Princes, all of whom are iri the section of the country where the earthquakes prevail.

SCHURZ AND BEN BUTLER.

They Have Falls on the Ice Today. NEW YORK, February 26.—Hon. Carl Schurz slipped on the sidewalk while walking on Sixth avenue this morning and fell. In trying to catch himself the weight of his body was thrown outward and his left side struck the walk first He was assisted to his feet by two gentlemen and taken home. Dr. Jacobi was summoned and found Mr. Schurz had sustained a severe injury to his left hip and the use of plaster of paris and heavy bandages were resorted to. The doctor would not say whether any bones were broken.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 26.—Gen. B. F. Butler had a fall on a slippery wooden sidewalk in this city this morning, causing a severe wrench, or possibly a dislocation of the shoulder. He is all right otherwise and left Philadelphia today for Boston.

Cardinal Jacobini Dead.

ROME, Feb. 26.—Cardinal Jacobini died at 1 o'clock this afternoon. [Liodovico Jacobini was born in 1830 and earned eminence as a diplomat when quite a young mau. He served for some time as papal nuncio at Vienna and was a special favorite of the Emperor Francis Joseph. He was made a oardinal in 1879 and a year later be came Pontifical Secretary ef State. Cardinal Jacobini has loog enjoyed the reputation of being a most brilliant and successful man and the general success of Pope Leo since his accession to the papal throne has been due in a great measure to Cardinal Jacobini's counsel and assistance. Cardinal Jacobini's latest public act in his capacity of Papal Secretary of State was to urge the Catholics of Germany to support Prince Bis marck in the recent election.

Left to Henry George.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 26.—The will of George Hutcains,the eccentric spiritualist of Ancora, Camden county, New Jersey, who bequeathed his estate valued at $30,000, to Henry George for the dissemination of "Progress and Poverty," and kindred work on social liberty, was admitted to probate today.

rJfUUK GIRLS GET AWAY.

1 3"

Tils Manner in Which They Obtained Their Freedom

NEW YOBK, Feb. 26—Four inmates of the House of the Good Shepherd in Brooklyn, an institution to which girls for correction are sent by the authorities, made their escape ou Thursday night in a manner which would do credit to regular jail birds. Having descended to the lower hall from their room on the third flf»or without attracting the observation of the Sisters, they extinguished the gaslight and pulled the wire attached to the door bell. Then they crouched down under a table and awaited a response to the ringing of the bell. Miss McDillon, one of tbe lay Sisters, whose duty it was to attend to the door, came down stairs and was approaching the door with the key in her hand when one of the girls put out her foot from under the table and tripped her up, at the same time exclaiming: "Now is your time, girls, skip."

The four sprang up, and seizing Miss McDillon secured the key, opened the door, and had climbed over the fence surrounding the institution before the Sister recovered from her surprise and raised an alarm. Mary Martin, one of the fugitives, was found wandering in Court street yesterday in the costume of an inmate of the house and was arrested. She said the other girls had deserted her soon after they made their escape and that she had been wandering around all night. She ^as sent b^pk to the institution.

NO PACKED JURY THERE.

The Jury on Dillon and the Irish Patriots Fail to Agree.

DUBLIN, Feb. 24.—On the resumption this morning of the trial of Messrs. Dillon, O'Brien, Redmond and others for their connection with the "plan of campaign," Judge Murphy continued his

charge to the jury. He said that if the jury believed that the traversers had united in agreeing to urge the people to do what the indictment alleged the traversers had acted unlawfully. The judge then concluded his charge and the jury retired to consider their verdict. After a short absence from the court room they returned and reported that they were not able to agree upon a verdict.

PERKINS RELEASED.

Judge Gresham's Decision This Morning. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 28—[GAZETTE special]—Judge Gresham has reversed the judcrment of the district federal court denying Samuel E. Perkins habeas .corpus proceedings. Per kins declined to testify before United States Commissioner Yau Buren in the conspiracy election charge preferred against local Democrats and was jailed for contempt. Judge Gresham orders his discharge from custody, holding that the commissioner had no jurisdiction to punish and no power to try the case in which frauds were committed against county candidates without affecting the congressional nominees. The decision is contrary to the views of Judge Blodgett in the Joe Mackin conspiracy case. The case will be transferred to the county courts.

Things Worth Knowing.

That dyspepsia Comes from torpid liver and costiveoees. That you cannot digest your food well unless your bowels and liver act properly.

That your bowels require thorough cleansing when they do not do their duty by your digestion.

That your torpid liver neede stimulating in order that it may act as nature intended it should.

That Brandreth's Pills taken in doses of one or two at night for, say, ten days, will regulate the towels, stimulate the liver, improve the digestion and drive away dyspepsia.

The House Refuses to Pass the Pauper Pension Bill Over the Veto.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The Houses yesterday afternoon—yeas 175, nays 125, not the necessary two-thirds voting in the affirmative—refused to pass the Dependent Pension bill over the President's veto. The voter by which the bill originally passed the House was 180 to 76. Twenty-nine Democrats changed their votes on the measure. There wa» applause and hisses wh4n ftlie vote was announced./'^ ." *1 4.' ^PBESS COMMENT.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25—The Times, in an editorial on the refusal of the Hoijseyesterday to pass the Dependent Pension bill over the President's veto, says: "The failure of Congress to pass the bill over the President's veto proves that an exhibition of courage such as could have been expected from no other President of recent years may be more profitable politics than can be devised by th© politicians." •,

The World saya: "The result w! be. lieve to be in keeping with the best public interests, and we say this as th& friend of all true and deserving soldiers/

The Sun says: "The present cost of these pension measures is even less alarming than the new principles which have been introduced. One of these is the removing of the limitations upon arrears after prolonged notice of the time after which arrears would not be payable. The legislation, under the act of 1879, will not only cost the country $260,000,000 with the' probability of increasing this extra amount to five hundred millions, shoald the limitation be again removed as is now proposed, but in addition it makes the government liable to pay vast sums at times when it may be greatly troubled to pay them. Another perilous principle has been that of overthrowing the old time value of large classes of ordinary pensions, thus leaving it wholly uncertain what new burdens may be added by reckless legislation. If every surviving soldier should be pensioned for service merely, prodigious as it would result in debt,the country might at least declare that the possibility of adding further names was then ended but should Congress next go on to increase the amount of each pension there would be absolutely no guarantee against financial ruin."

Peculiar in medicinal merit and wonderful cures—Hood's Sareaparilla. Now is the time to take it, for now it will do the most good.
