An interesting feature of the affair was the interest taken by the ladies, who contested for two of the offices, but were defeated.

St. Louis Journal, St. Carl Gander, deputy United States surveyor for North Dakota, was in the city yesterday on his way from Cornell university, at St. Louis, N.Y., to Chandler. S.D., where he will meet his surveying party. Mr. Onndemm is a young man, but has seen a good deal of service in the Wild, having begun his practical engineering with H. J. Anatin on the latter surveying contract in the Black Hills and adjoining country. He has now on hand a contract to extend the Black Hills basin across the old Sioux reservation from the point where that line intersects with the Cheyenne river to the western boundary of the Lawyer Brule reservation, and for running the west and south guide lines. He has traveled over a good deal of the reservation lands now open for settlement, and said to a Journal reporter that there would be many disappointed settlers in that region before long. He said it was his honest opinion after having looked over the land that there were very vast tracts of it that would never support anything more than a pasture population. The land was not sufficiently fertile in some parts to turn the attention of the settlers, even pasturage. On the other hand, the lands of acres of fertile lands along the water courses which, if a market were supplied, could be cultivated with great profit. He did not anticipate any great rush upon the reservation lands, and thought the settlement of the interior of it would depend almost entirely upon the railroad company. Pierre di Château, 5: A great and final pew wow and dance is being held tonight about five miles from here, over on the reservation. The Hkrax have been gathering for several days and today they have been having a big meeting, which tonight changed to a great dance. The annual meeting has held at regular intervals, but this is to be the last one held on the reservation before the tribe leaves for new quarters. The assembly is a monster one, and is said to be the largest gathering of Sioux that has been held for many years. All the noted chiefs are there. A large audience was held, as to whether the Indians had been taken up lands in severalty or all go back to the lands which are left to them. John Uraan, the noted Sioux orator, made an earnest and touching speech, in which he urged the Sioux to be and not appoint and to take land and earn their living. Sitting Bull and the rest of the objection took the opposite side of the question. Bull expressed his hatred of the government and the whites and said only those should work, and he and his small band would still take their provisions from the government. The result of the meeting was the decision not to take up lands, but to go back on their new reservation and let the government continue issuing rations. Only a few squaw men and half breeds will go to farming. Crop Bulletin. Washington dispatch, 5: The signal service crop bulletin issued for the past week says: Recent rains have placed the ground in excellent condition for seeding and farm work. Over the greater portion of Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Michigan, and the Dakotas, although in the extreme north dry weather continues.

The application for writ of habeas corpus in the Case of Frank Baker was then heard. Baker is a Mormon, sentenced from Boat City, Idaho, on the charge of polygamy, and is confined in the Sioux Falls penitentiary. C. Winsor appeared for the applicant and presented a point that for novelty is rarely equalled in the court room. The point made by Mr. Winsor was inasmuch as Baker was sentenced to be imprisoned with hard labor in the United States penitentiary at Sioux Falls, and by virtue of the omnibus bill admitting South Dakota into the union, the penitentiary to which Baker was sentenced was abolished, and there being now no such place as the United States penitentiary at Sioux Falls the sentence was null and void and the prisoner was sentenced to his freedom. A authorities were quoted and while the application was based upon what might be termed as a technical point, Mr. Winsor presented quite formidable array of authorities substituting the position taken. District Attorney Sterling pointed out several defects the theory set up by the opposition and concluded with a masterly address in defense of The idea that the application was based upon poor logic. The court adjourned until 2 o'clock and then adjourned that they had decided to refuse the writ. An exception was taken to the decision and an appeal taken to the supreme court of the United States. A trial trial. Known dispatch, 2: A colony of fifty three families, representing at least 250 people, are coming to settle on lands secured for them by the National Land and Trust company of this city. They come from Michigan and Ohio, and some from Minnesota. Some of the colonists are now here and the remainder will arrive in a few days, when all will be settled on lands in this area. They have household goods, farm implements and stock and what may be needed is being purchased here. Within the next ten days all will be settled their new home. Each will put in from fifty to 100 acres of crop the present season. The company is arranging to have other colonies in various parts of the state within the next three months, such as large as the one now being located this year. Mr. the great miller of Minnesota, Mr. will visit the fields of truth when he says that the production of wheat of the earlier examples of wheat should be taken up in To small holdings for miscellaneous farming, and if for any reason there is a decrease of wheat production in other parts of the country, the market is steady. John Ward, John Ward, and John Ward are among the notable figures in the market. The world just now, there is a king that it will last king, smaller than the price. The supply will mean higher to produce. The market will gradually regulate itself. The market of wheat production in the Argentine Republic is nowhere near real, yet, and the same may be said of other areas in different parts of the world. Nobody is starving for bread because there happens to be a few millions less bushels of wheat now in sight than there were two years ago. Nor there is any reason to suppose that there is to any permanent difference between demand and supply in this particular. A New York district, August 2nd. Ernest Eckhart, a German farmer living about ten miles northwest of this place, attempted to take the lives of his wife and two children by stabbing them and cutting their throats Thursday night. He was in the custody of the sheriff of this place, having been found over by Justice Booth to answer to the charge of attempting to kill a neighbor a short time ago. His family testified against him at his preliminary examination last week. It seems that he had frequent quarrels with his wife and family and that his neighbors took sides with his wife, and she, being anxious to get divorced. From him, was interested in securing his conviction, and encouraged the children to testify against their father. Last night, he escaped from custody and went directly to the home of the sheriff. After committing the deed, he fled and a posse in charge of Sheriff Chamberlain are in hot pursuit. Dr. Hathorne of this place was pursuing. tutmuon ad to attend the suffering thi« morniiif.
