re
Dr.
A. VV. Wilmarih and Dr. Thomas
turned to Huron tills morning.
Thomas lives in Chicago, and Is known
the world over by his ink. Nearly every
one has used Thomas' ink. The doctor
is exceedingly wealthy, and has placed
•omething llko $100,000 in Dakota real es
tate. a good dcalof it in Huron. lie has
become ^deeply interested in irrigation,
and Is enthusiastic in the belief that the
great artesian basins of the Dakotas will
work out a mamiilicent destiny foiJ both
states. Ho has organized a company of
Chicago capitalists, with stock of $100,OCX),
to sink wells and irrigate lands A great
portion of their work is to be done this
noason, and If it proves a success—as lie
believes it will—capital will begin to
rush for South Dakota. Ho believes it
would bo a grand advertisement for the
country between Pierre and the Black
Hills, if a good artesian well was opened
somewhere near the center of that coun
try.
Col. M. II. Day arrived last night direct
from Washington, and is stopping at the
Locke. Ho was heard to ask some par
ties in the Locko "Who is this man Har
rison of Beadle? I thought I knew near
ly every one in Huron—but I've never
seensnor heard of this fellow before. 1
understand he has made^ome charges of
malfoasance, or something in that line,
against me, and I want to see him and
have him explain. I shall make it pretty
warm for tho young man before I get
through with him." The colonel lias a
very satisfactory explanation of the
charge Harrison made against him—but
as no one has taken any particular stock
in the matter, it is not necessary to give
details. Tho colonel is very much, dis
gusted that congress made no provisions
for the white settlers that were losers by
tho late Indian war, but was careful
enough to provide $100,000 for tlielndians
Prominent men of the state are usually
treated with due dignity when they come
to the capital. But there is bound to be
an exception to tho rule occasionally. A
plug hat gentleman got off the train and
proceeded to make himself decidedly fa
miliar with some of the old timers of Da
kota, and looked every Inch a confidence
man. He endeavored to palm himself off
for Hon. E. W. Caldwell, of Sioux Falls—
and some of Caldwell's friends used him
pretty roughly at the Locke, so that he
ropped that scheme and assumed to be
only fooling and that his namo was really
Smith. He really has a voice like tho
"Cal" everyone knows—but do not be de
ceived, and keep an eye on your diamond.
Without any special effort on the part
of the 14,000 or ir.,000 people who had set
tled In Dakota up to 1880, there was a
grand rush for this country inaugurated
in the three or four years succeeding that
date that, was unparalleled in the history
of the settlement of the west. Now, with
our 350,000 people in .South Dakota alone,
and a general effort on their purt and the
part of tho railroads, we should not be
surprised if another influx of people would
sot in during the next year or two. There
are signs of just such proceedings again
taking place.
The funeral services over the remains
of Representative lleilinan were carried
out at the Northwestern hotel this morn
ing according to tho announced program.
Qeorge McMillan, S. A. Lewis and Fred
Cordes were a committee selected by the
6. A. R. to accompany the remains to
Miller.
Henry McBride, a Fkkk Pkess com
positor, went to Brookings this morning
and from there goes to Washington. He
has lived on the Dakota prairies for ten
years tnd published a paper a part of the
time. The big Rocky mountains will
seem very huge to him. Wo wish "Mack"
big luck.
The band concert last night was equal
:.to what it promised to bo, and every
number was heartily appreciated. There
were none of the disinteresting, faltey
features about the entertainment that
usually characterize home entertain
ments.
Nathaniel Brown, of Brown, said to
ome of his friends last night, "did you

From Friday'* Dally.
This morning's Journal has an Inter
view with Attorneys Sliunk and Dewey,
on the failure of tho Ninth judicial cir
cuit bill—and the blame is laid onto II.
II. Horner and Judge Fuller. From what
we can learn, several other lawyers in
tervened than the ones named, and while
perhaps a majority of the Pierre lawyers
were in favor of creating tho now district,
there is a majority that was opposed to a
eertaii: aspirant for the judgeship, which
tho creation of said district made possible
for them to be indicted with—hence the
milk in the cocoanut.
For heaven's sake, If another lire should
sccur In tills city, do not touch that tire
bell. It is impossible to get a team near
the engine house while that thing is get
ting off its odd sounding croaks. Visitors
in the city wonder what it Is and are In
spired with a sort of dread. It should
never bo sounded—besides there is abetter
noise and it sounds more like a bell to
take a board and uound the corner of the
Locko hotel.
H. H. ICeeney, county judge of Brook
ings county, says Alexander and Weir, of

Fully five hundred people departed
from Pierre this morning. Tho train
which left at five o'clock had two coaches
packed as full of humanity as they could
stick, and the !:05 train contained 'three
coaches fairly jammed full of peoplo.
There were representatives, senators,
state officials, clerks of committees, lob
byists, tho wives and children of many of
.them—all perfectly happy and contented
with the crowding and jostling they were
receiving—for they were all going home.
Notwithstanding the jubilant feeling
over anticipations of seeing homo people
again, there was a sort of prevailing
gloom noticeable, for here and there could
bo heard "The doctors say Senator
Clarke Is dying," which, takeu in connec
tion with the thought that two members
of the house had just been taken homo
for buriali gave good cause for suppress
ing hilarity.

As the heavily laden 0 o'clock passenger
(lulled out of Pierre this morning, scores
of Pierre peoplo stood on the depot plat
form bidding friends a.farewell, and as
the rear end of the last coach passed
along, a shout went up "Good bye Tay
lor!" and sure enough there stood Taylor
gesticulating violently and waving a
hearty adieu to everybody in sight.
Every Pierre citizen is glad to seo their
follow townsman, Col. S. M. Laird,

The Black Hills will have another hig
influx of people tho coming season. It is
not a question* of wheat and corn, rain
and snow or artesian water in that
country. Their crop was ripened years
ago—but they have, like, many of our
farmers in remote cow counties, been too
far from means of transportation. This
last winter has witnessed.two great rail
road systems penetrate into the heart of
the Hills and now reasonable rates of
transportation on railroads passing right
along the dumps of the mines will insure
a permanent season of thrift tp that sec
tion. Many of the members of tho legis

make a visit to those regions this year.

Some heavy snows and rains are
booked to take place in this state during

quantity of snow lies over the entire
country drained by the river and its trib
utaries—and although the snow is light
in this vicinity, yet in mostof the said
