Instead of increasing them as the law requires. it charges collusion with District Attorney Gannon in requiring con victed saloonkeepers to plead not guilty in stead of guilty, so the attorney can gel double lees, and gives instances of men lined larger amounts when they pleaded guilty than when they steaded not guilty. It charges the judge with sliamclosly re fusing to apply the law as changed by the last legislature requiring him to abate nui sances.

Two New Lines of Bailway, the Duluth, Watcrtown & Pa ific and Duluth, Huron & Denver. Making 1 Overtures to the Citizens of Huron for an Early Entrance of That En terprising City. Redfleld Residents Manifest Marked Indignation at tbe Arrest of Fellow Citizens. Activity of Dakotans In Washington — The South State's Prospects Before tbe Senate. Railroads Wooing Huron. Special to the Globe Her.ox, Dak.. Jan. 17.— The people pf Huron axe bee . jiliik very deeply Interested in railroad matters since the proposition made by the projectors of the Duluth, Watertown & Pad lie company to run their j line into this city if the right of way through Beadle county was given, twenty j acres of land for depot buildings and S 10.000 in cash when the road is completed Into Huron. The offer is a decidedly liberal one, and much cheaper than Huron will be likely. to ever get again. Realizing this fact, a committee appointed for the purpose has made a canvass among the business men, and those more especially interested in such matters, and have every where met with substantial encouragement. seen A road as the above company proposes to build will give Huron almost direct communica tion with the seaboard. lieing really the commercial center of South Dakota, the gain to Huron by railway connection with Lake Superior at Duiutb will be incalcula ble. The rapid erowth of our city, increas ing settlement of surroundinr country and the development of these fertile and won- i derfully productive prairies combine in a demand for an outlet by tho great water ways of the country for their grain and stock. Not only this, but the cheaper the freight rates the greater the pn»:it to the producer. Our wheat, oats and corn can be sent to Duluth, and in return receive coal and lumber— two very essential commodi ties, yet very expensive here because ol the heavy freight rates. THE AGITATION of the proposition has had a tendency to inspire to a more vigorous action the man agers of ih.! proposed Duluth, Huron A Denver road and both companies are crowd- ' ing their enterprise as much an possible, in order to pet the iH-..[iie interested in their respective roads. Whether the two lines will be built is a matter for conjecture, or through exactly what counties they are ex- , peeled to run cannot now be told, but it Is certain that one of the roads will be com pleted during the coining summer. The osneen of both lines maintain that I hey have Miilineiit financial backing to fully prosecute the work of construction ami equipment Subsequent developments are patiently yet anxiously awaited. Indignant Kedfield Citizens. Special to the Globe. l;i.i'iin.!i, Jan. 10.— County seat mat ton in this county have been meeting a fresh airing during the past few days. A desi>erato attempt, backed by Ashton :>ar tlea, was made to have a number of promi nent citizens of this town indicted by the grand jury which udjourned on Thursday evening. Failiusr in this, they at once had the parties susjiected, titteen in nil. arrested [ slid brought before Jostles Jiovxmanofi Ashtou, boa which conn a change of venae was taken the next morning, and the '. case-removed before an Atliol justice. This ' afternoon, alter considerable wrangling on both sides the ca>e was adjourned for two weeks. The testimony on which they seek ' to convict will come from one C F. Will iams until recently aajent of the L. C. Porter Milling company at this place. The parties arrested all waived examination before the Athol justice, except O. S. Bas ford. who will staml a heading. The un- . necessary stirring up of county seat matters is generally condemned by the masses of the people of the county, acana of whom regard it as nothing le>s than a desire on the part of Anatoa to make capital for next falTs contest. Dakota .flatters. Special to the Cl.ii.i-. Washington, Jan. l«J.— Senator Edger ton of tiie state of South Dakota says he has called upon Assistant Secretary Jenks about the suspension of patents by Gen. Sparks, and that Mr. .lenks .said that if these cast's would be m>i>ealod he would rule that tnere must he first an examination • by a local laud otlice before there be an arbitrary suspension. It is evident the sec retary of the Interior intends to modify to some extent the order relative to suspension. Gun. Sparks said to-day in reference to hostile criticism, provoked by his rulings against the Northern Padfte « claim of a I land grant from Columbia to I'ttiret Sound, that it was good law, as certain as two and ; two make four. Dennis Hcnncpin declares , the scheme for dividing Dakota ' is now hoiieiessly beaten. Republicans have the ' senate, he bays, and the Democrats have I the president and the house, which consti- ; tute the edge which is ahead in poker. South Stale Prospects. Special to the Globe.

Jan. 14.— The city of MU bank, or the village of Mllbank Junction. as it was platted by the Chicago, Milwau kee Si St. Paul Kallway company, is a di vision headquarters of the Dakota & Hast ings division of that road, situated In Grant county. Dak., ten miles west of the Min nesota state boundary line and the same distance from Bigstone lake. In the early summer of 16S0, when the road was ex tended west from the foot of Bigstone lake, the only mark to relieve the bare t prairie upon what is now the site of our beautiful little city of over 1,200 inhabi- j tants was a solitary sod shanty and a patch : of wheat. The townsite was scripped by the railroad company, and in August was surveyed and platted. During July lumber was hauled from Ortonville and a few i buildings erected. Later on. after CONSTBCCTION TBAINS commenced running, lumber was rushed ; In and the work of building a new town was rapidly pushed forward. Tbe growth j of the town was steady and uninterrupted • until November, ISS4. when an incendiary tire burned out two of the principal business blocks. The present year, however, a tine class of brick buildings have been erected , on the burned district In 18S1 the county seat was voted away from Big Stone City to Miilbank. This point is also the end of one of the postal divisions. The foil wing branches of business are represented: Three banks, in addition to which tea number of private money loaners; 3 lumber \ ar is, 2 hardware stores. 5 elevators, 2 coal yatd-s 5 wood yards, 2 newspaper and ' printing offices, 3 drug store*, 9 general stores. 1 creamery, l dry goods, 2 millinery, 1 furniture and 1 feed store. l steam FLOURING mix, with a capacity of 10 barrels - per day* 3 j feed mills. 1 harness shop, 1 wagon shop. 3 paint shops, 3 livery stables, 3 laundries, 6 saloons. 1 photograph gallery, 4 hotels, 1 ; skating rink. 3 blacksmith shops. What is , needed the worst way is a first-class hotel. This is the best point on the road for a good ! hotel, and proper encouragement will be ex- ' tended the right party. No "Cheap JohnV need apply, but an experienced hotel man. with fair capital, will rind a hearty welcome and can make money.
