'
PIBHRB , S. D. , Jan. 8. [ Special to THE
Bnn. ] The Dlock Hills bid fair to cut n
conspicuous figure in the present legislature.
That section is represented by an able body
of men , among wfiom are Colonel Starr ,
senator from Lawrence , nnd 15. A. Fowh'r ,
member from AVhltowood , nro easily chiefs.
The former has already taken : t foremost
place In the senate and In the organization
and has divided the titno with Dalian ! of
Bon Ilomine and Urockway of Mlnnchaha.
Ho is n ready speaker , a keen tactician and
n pugnacious debater , and will take good
care of his section. Mr. Fowler is likely to
become ono of the leaders of the house. Ho
has a quick head and forcible tongue nnd
will make them both felt.
The members from the Hills sit In a body
In the front of the hull and on the right of
the speaker and nro prepared to assert them
selves. They are of course resuhinlsslonlsts
nnd are earnest in their hope for a repeal of
the law. They are also In favor of a world's
fair appropriation and the icstoratlon of the
commissioner of immigration to his rights
and dignities and power to spread before the
world the riches which nature has given to
the state. Many of them also favor some
law which will compel railroads and express
companies to supply accommodations with
out rendering their patrons destitute , and
they will unitedly supx | > rt the movement to
Increase the powers of the railway commis
sioners and permit them to impose maximum
rales. Such a bill obtains wide favor
throughout the state and a majority of the
members being f-irmcrs such a change will
very likely bo made. Conversation with
members from various parts of the state de
velop an almost unanimous sentiment of this
kind.
Drnlurcil In l-'avor of l'uriiior .
Some time ago Governor Sheldon was
quoted as promising to appoint only farmers
as railroad commissioners. Should ho do
this there is likely to bo no radical change in
the laws. But it Is now believed not a farmer
will bo on the board. John Brenmin of
Hapld City wants to be appointed and is
backed solidly by the Hills members. Hugh
Murphy , the Klkton rustler , and Frank
Conklin , a personal friend of the governor ,
are also anxious for the place , and It is
rumored that .loo Greene would not refuse
it. But so far as heard from , not a farmer is
beltiiT considered
Titus Corkhill has hold the oillco of mine
inspector for three years and is again tin
iplicant. This ofilee is conceded to the
ills , but Mr. Corkhill is understood
, o have wavered in his faithful-
ess to republicanism , and the Hills
clcgation , including Sol Starr , are solidly
upportlng Jack Gray of Terravillo. At
n-cscut no other candidates from west of
, ho Missouri have appeared on the scene ,
jut there are plenty from east of it.
Governor Sheldon in his message recom
mended an increase in the pay of the oil in-
pectorand in cnso the suggestion is adopted
lie olllce will bo a fat one. It is understood
hat Stafford of Day county , a personal
'riend of the governor , will have the place.
The present commissioner of irrigation
ivould like to bq retained. His name is Buld-
in and his residence is in Hand county , but
aptain Sheldon of Hand , a namesake of the
governor and an influential politician , is hero
making a strong canvass and the chances
"avor him.
The governor is taking things very easy ,
and will probably not show his hand until
the session is well advanced. By holding oft
the appointments ho will have ample time to
survey the field and will also be .able to put
a wedge under opposing members at the
ight .time. .

TOI-KKA , Kan. , Jan. 8. A sensational in
terview took pluco in the lobby of ono of the
leading hotels last evening between Jerry
Simpson , congressman from the Seventh
district , who wants to bo senator , and A. J.
Streator , the third party lender from Illi-
is , who does not want him to be. At that
session of the legislature of Illinois at which
Senator Palmer was cliicted senator and in
which the third party members held the
balance of power , Mr. Streator was n
formidable candidate for senator. Jerry
Simpson , although a fellow third party man ,
took sides against Mr. Streator and in favor
of Senator Palmer. He not only wrote let
ters to the third party members advis
ing them to vote for Palmer , but
oven went to Springfield and la
bored industriously against Mr. Streator
The latter naturally treasured up the ac
tion against the Kansas statesman and now
that Simpson is a candidate for senator be
fore the the third party legislature of Kan
sas , ho lias come to Topekn to labor against
him. Ho arrived yesterday afternoon and at
once made known the object of his visit. The
news reached Jerry Simpson after supper
and ho at once set out to call Mr. Streator
down * " Ho located the gentleman from Illi
nois at his hotel and a lively interview en
sued.
Simpson asked Streator If it were true
that he had come to Topeka to work against
his ( Simpson's ) election to the senate.
Streator admitted frankly that such was
tho-objoetof his visit. Simpson asked wlij
he wns taking such action. Streator ex
plained. Simpson said it was untrue that ho
advised the third party men to vote for
Palmer and defied Streator to prove it.
Streator drew from his pocket a telegram
signed "Jerry Simpson , " stating that in his
opinion the election of Mr. Palmer vrouli'
best , subscrvo the Interests of the thin
party , Simpson declared that the tolcgrau
was n forgery , whereupon Streator ex
claimed that that statement was not true
und that Simpson know it. Simpson gron
white with rage and n personal encountei
between the two men seemed imminent
when friends intervened ,
Streator is not working for any particulai
candidate , but announces that the clcctloi
of some mlddle-of-tho-road populist will bcs
subserve the interests of the pcoplo of the
third party. Simpson , ho says , is a democrat

that Governor McKinleyyesterday rcquestot
Adjutant General Pocock to hand In lit
resignation. This is the outcome of u lonj ,
and bitter flght which nearly all the mill
tury men oOtho state huvo been waging
against him for nearly three months. The
trouble was started at the dedtcatlot
of the AVorld's fair buildings last October
Iti s said thatMr , Pocock refused to takoht
wife with him on the ground that ho wouli
bo to busy commanding the Ohio troops
AVhen the governor's staff reached that pity
however , the general introduced to them i
Miss lihodes of Zuncsvlllo , whom h
announced as u friend of the family , S
attentive was the general to her that th
Ohio troops were very iworly managtW
Governor McKiuloy relieved him of the com
mand on the second day , placing Assistan
'
Adjutant Qunor'al Howe in command.
When the party arrived baclc at Columhu
the governor called a mooting of stalToflicvrs
und thcro all Pocock's actions woru dls
cussed. A brigade formation of Ohio troop :
is to bo effected nt a meeting to bo hold lion
AVednesday , und the rcglmontal officers ul
over the stuto have refused to take any par
in case Pocock has anything to do with it
Colonel Bunker of Toledo placed the matte :

to obtain evidence that Miss Kliodcs is o

vhlch will assemble on Tuesday are already

CHICAGO , 111. , Jan. 8. The calamity of n
vater famlno was narrowly escaped by Chi-
ago today , and It would have been n famlno
vhlch in all probability would not huvo been
cllcved before spring.
Captain MclCee , who for thirteen years
ms been keeper of the crib of the Chicago
lumping station , was jerked out of Ills job
10 suddenly this morning that his head is
mrdly through buzzing yet.
He was discharged by City Engineer Clarke
iccauso of a report that the men under Mc-
Ceo Intended to allow the ice to accumulate
jround the crib , so that the supply would bo
shut off , and then they intended to strike ,
lemauding the removal of McKee , whom
they claimed had treated them badly. The
situation was ono which admitted of no argu-
ncnt and McICeo's olllcial head rolled into
, ho basket as soon as the condition of things
> ecnmo known at the city hall. The strike
f brought about would have been most dis-
istrous. Intensely cold weather wouht soon
iavp formed a mass of Ice. calculated the
engineers , that nothing but dynamite or the
rotmn of spring could remove.
A consultation was called at the city en-
gineer's.ofllco this morning to take action in
: -cgard to the rumors which had reached
there and action prompt and decisive was
decided upon.
City Engineer Clarke sent for Captain
AVUllam H. Dalil , the assistant vessel dis
patcher , and then wrote a letter to Captain
McKco removing him from oflico instanter
and appointing Captain Dahl in his place.
" 'At 10'U : ) o'clock in the forenoon Chief John
AV. Coghlan , of the waterworks , Kngirieer
Vineyard of the department and Captain
Dahl. stopped on board a tug and a start was
made for the crib , which was reached shortly
after H o'clock. Captain McKco was at the
landing and the letter from the city engineer
was bunded him. Ho read and then walked
down stairs tovhoro flf teen men were at
work keeping the ice from the intake ports.
" " ho said "I've been
"Boys , , discharged
and am going to leave. I want you to go
with mo. "
The men did not appear unanimous in responding
spending to the invitation and but llvo
threw down their tools and Joined their
chief.
The entire party was quickly taken to the
shore. The cause of complaint against
McKco by the men was that notwithstand
ing the fact that they were often compelled
to work all night in the icy water , tlfey
could get nothing warm to drink , and that
the AlcICeo family occupied all the habitable
quarters at the crib , compelling the men to
sleep in rooms at and below the water level.
City Engineer Clarke denied vehemently
this evening that any conspiracy had ex
isted to allow the crib to freeze up. Ho told
a reporter several times that nothing of the
kind had been thought of. In the midst of
his denials his assistant , Mr. Coghlan ,
walked in , and Clarke ordered him to tell the
reporter that there was no danger of the
cribs being allowed to freeze , and his assist
ant promptly informed him that there had
been a conspiracy to that effect and that It
had been nipped in the bud.
"I lot MclCee go for his lack of discipline , "
said Mr. Clarke , "and I guess I did better
than I thought I did. "

Another woman of the town , Claudlo Mini-
fee , lies In the iloail room nt the niorguo to
day , ami-all on account of jealousy.
On Sunday morning nt5 o'clock the woman
shot and Instantly killed herself at her
house , 214 North Ninth street.
Claudia Miuifoo was n handsome mulatto
about 24 .years of ago and acted as landlady
at the resqrt where she killed herself. Late
Saturday nlsht the woman's lover , M. V.
Harvey , a white man from Cnrrall , In. , and a
bartender for , T. , T. Wlelnnd of that place ,
visited the plnco and went with the woman
to her room. During tl.o night both drunk
considerably , but probably not more than
they were In the habit of doing.
AloiiR about 5 o'uloclc Harvey told the
woman that he had been out sleigh riding
with some one , ana nt once excited her
curiosity. She bepgod Harvey to tell her
who ho had been out with , but , to teasiThor ,
ho refused.
Without saying a word the woman , who
was in bed , opened a drawer In her dressing
case which was wlth'tn reach , and took from
it a revolver. Quick as a Hash she placed
the inuzzlo of the weapon to her loft temple
( slio was left handed ) and llred the shot
which ended her life.
Harvey was sitting In a chair near the bed
at the time , so ho claims , but was not near
enough to prevent the shooting. Ho at once
called to the women in the next room , and
one of the Inmates wont for an ofllcer. After
summoning the coroner Ofllccrs Vunous and
Brady took Harvey in charge and sent him
to the jail , where ho was held on suspicion ,
pending a hearing.
Coroner Maul held an Inquest yesterday

SENATOR WARREN'S ' WORK
What the Busy Young Min from Wyoming
Ens Accomplished ,
HE REPRESENTS HIS HOME PEOPLE
m.rUAro rir < t for III * Main mill Thru

AVASIUNOTON , D. C. , Jan. 0. ( Special Cor
respondence of Tun llKB. ] If the people-of
the now state of Wyoming know when they
nrowoll off , thpy will see to It that mi
change in their representation Is made thus
early , in Its career as a state. His a well-
established fact that the people who leave
their representatives , when they are good
ones , undisturbed for n long tlmo , hold Urn
advantage. All the host committees go to
the old nioml > crs , This is especially Uuo In
the senate , where the shadow of "senatorial
precedence" broods over nil.
The venerable Justin S. Merrill , at the
head of the committee on finance , lias been
in continuous service , llrst in the house and
aftcrward's in the senate , slnco IS. > 0 , nnd
Senator William B. Allison , chairman of the
appropriation committee , was sent by his
people to represent their Interests in the
lower house In ISM , and ho has been in con
tinuous service over since. It is the same
way in the liouso , no matter which party
predominates , all the Important places arc
given to men of long experience , as they
should be.
Now and thru a new member who is pecu
liarly fitted fur ono of the better places , like
the junior senator from AVyomlng , Francis
E. Warren , who is now before his people for
the re-election that ho so richly deserves ,
steps into some pretty good things to begin
with , but It Is really in a second term that a
man is able to show what he can do for his
people.
Mr. AVarren had no committee appoint
ments In the Fifty-first congress , but in the
make up of this was made chairman of the
committees on irrigation nnd reclamation of
the arid lands , and a member ot the com
mittees on agriculture , mines nnd mining ,
engrossed bills and woman suffrage. Five
important committees for a br.in-now sen
ator , with the chairmanship of ono ol them ,
HU Work fortliu West.
That his qualifications for n place on these
committees , so directly in the interest of the
west , have not been overrated , he was not
slow to demonstrate. During the first ses
sion of the Fifty-first congress he introduced
n bill for irrigation and reclamation of arid
lands , for the protection of forests nd utili
zation of pasturage , and for other purposes
conducive to tno welfare of the west. July
21 he delivered a most comprehensive speech
upon the subject , which lias been printed nnd
is being widely circulated , numerous request *
coming from all parts of tht > country for
copies of it. People are becoming interested
in this question which grows in im-
portaneo as our more valuable lands become
scarce. Mr. Warren takes the ground that
the government , having appropriated $10-
1)00,01)0 ) ) to 0,000,000 per annum for rivers
and harbors , vyhlch in no direct way benefits
the arid section , this arid region so long
neglected deserves recognition through lib
eral appropriation by the government to re
claim the lands , or failing in this , that the
states themselves may bo given the land
within their respective borders so that they
may proceed to the necessary reclamation.
The bill has been reported favorably from
the committee and is on the calendar. Sena
tor AVarren has notified his committee , and
friends of the bill generally , that he is de
sirous of obtaining all further information
that can bo procured , because it is his wish
to amend the bill if it can bo improved.
Other bills introduced by him are : A bill
to re-enact the pre-emption law repealed dur
ing the Fifty-first congress , so that settlers
upon public lands may again have preemption
tion privileges.
A bill for the sale of stone lands , etc. , in
Wyoming. This bill has been so amended as
to provide for the sale of such lands in a
number of other western states , and has
passed.
A bill to allow an annual salary of SI.SOO
anil fees to registers and receivers of United
States land ofliccs has been amended so as to
make the amount § 1,000 per annum. It was
reported favorably from the public lands
committee and is on the senate calendar.
A bill for the relief of the United States
surveyor general from AVyoming has passed
the senate.This bill is to reimburse the
surveyor general for losses of property in
curred in the discharge of his public duty.
A bill to grant the Pan American Trans
portation company right of way through
Indian Territory.
A bill to establish the boundaries of the
Yellowstone National pnrlc. This has passed
the senate , and has been favorably reported
by the public lands cominittco of the honso ,
and is on the house calendar unobjcctcd to.
A bill to sot apart the "Devil's Tower , "
"Missouri Buttes. " and surrounding country
In Crook county , AVyoming , as a public park ;
is in the bands of the senate committee on
territories , and will doubtless be favorably
reported upon very soon.
A bill to authorize the location of a branch
homo for disabled volunteer soldiers on the
Fort D. A. Russell military reservation.
A bill to fix the mileage of jurors and wit
nesses in the United States courts in the
state of Wyoming has passed and is now a
law. This bill provides in cents a mile for
every milo traveled going and coining. The
former rate in AVyoming was 5 cents pur
mile , and that is the rate still where the
witness or juror trnvnls by rail. The sen
ator's bill asltcd , as originally introduced ,
113 cents for every milo traveled without dis
tinction.
Among the army bills introduced by Mr.
Warren are : A bill to increase the effici
ency of the infantry ; a bill providing for the
retirement of certain officers of the army ,
who were formerly in volunteer service , at
the rank of the highest office they hold dur
ing the war , etc. ; a bill for the relief of
oflicers retired on account of wounds , with a
number of other more or loss important bills
concerning military affairs.
DTho majority members of Urn woman suf
frage committee selected Senator AVarren to
nmku the report in favor of a constitutional
amendment providing for general woman
suffrage , which has just been presented to
the senate.
Altogether , the pushing , energetic , llvo
young senator from Wyoming Is too valuable ,
not only to his own state , but to the whole
west , to bo sot nsldo now when his work
needs his fostering hand most : and howavur
the AVyoming legislature stands , the pcoplo
there will make a great mistake ! If they fail
to nturn him , for he is really the pcoplu's
senator and will bo apt to show the world
some lull hustling In their scrvlco In a second
term.
