a largo an audience as the seating ca
pacity would accommodate. The pro
gramme was varied , and , as executed ,
proves to bo what all oxpectci it would
bo , ono of the richest musical feasts over
furnished by Council BlMlTs artists. The
church quartette takes rank as the best
choir in th city. Mrs. Wadsworth , the
soprano , caused the greatest enthusiasm
last evening. Her solo , "Fx ) , Hear the
Lark , " was wonderfully rendered. The
IHito obligate , by Frank Badalotto ,
added much to the pleasing effect.

rendered an organ solo which gave oppor
tunity for him to hhow his skill anil tasto.

EDUCATED WESTERN FARMERS.
Deceitful Appearances How Eastern
People Arc HttrprlHcd.
A lady from the cast writes as follows
o the St. Paul Pioneer Press : I have
pent two summers in Dakota. I not
inly had a delightful time , but I be-
'amo ' acquainted with more refined ,
slegnnt , educated , well dressed people
ban I have met in a two years' resl-
Icnco in Chicago. Perhaps I should
ay a larger percentage of such people ,
or one meets thousands in a great city
ike this , and is ant to forget the num-
> cr of people with manners in the
crowd of those with no conception of
; oed breeding which jostles ono from
he Prairie and Dearborn avenues to the
ionics of Goose island and teeming
ciicmcntsof Milwaukee avenue.
The day after my first arrival in Da
cota , I was riding with a friend , and ,
joing some distance from homo , wo lost
> ur way. Wandering about , wo came
0 a sod shanty or "shack , " primitive
loyond description. There were a few
hickcns about , a yoke of oxen near by ,
nit no other signs of life.
"Tho man must bo inside , " said my
ricnd , as she drove nearer the hut ; but
ust.thon we discovered the lord of this
minor coming from behind a stable ,
1 little less pretentious than the house ,
f that were possible. Ho was about
hirty years of ngo , clad in coarse jeans ,
vhich bore evidence of rough patching
icro and there. A dilapidated black
int was on his head , and his face , cov-
red with a sandy beard , which seemed
jurncd and faded by the sun , concealed
ho lower part of a face , the upper half
f which was tanned and weather-beaten
ill it looked like leather.
I glanced at him , and then urged my
ompanion to drive on quick. "For
goodness sake , " said I. "let us not stop
o talk with that man ; ho looks like a
landit. " But my friend was too far
long to back ' out , and , having bowed to
lim , asked' if ho would kindly direct use
o town.
' 1 don't believe he can speak English
it all , " I whispered , as ho came forward ,
lie took oft his battered hat as ho
'cached ' the side of the carriage , and
hen said very quietly :
"I beg pardon , madam , I didn't un-
lorstand you. "
I never was more astonished in my
ifo. There was no appearance of em-
Kirrassmcnt , none of assurance ; ho just
teed there , hat in hand , with the inan-
lers of a cavalier , and when the ro-
[ iicst was repeated he directed us in a
ow _ brief , clear words , and then bowed
limsolf back a few steps , as if expecting
is to go on. But my 'curiosity ' was
irouscd , and I couldn't forbear asking
lim a few questions. Ho smiled as ho
cferrcd to his surroundings , told us ho
mil been there a year , that ho rarely
eft the place , except to go to the town
or supplies , but ere long ho hoped to
ivo in a more civilized shape. It was
lard work , but ho had hope , and that
lope , it was plain to see , buoyed him up
n his loneliness and lent him courage
n his task of building a home. When
vo spoke of the man afterwards to
rionds in town wo discovered that he
vas the owner of ( > 40 acres of the best
and in the world , belonged to onoof the
> est families in New Hampshire , and
vas a graduate of Bowdoin college.
You meet such men everywhere in
) akota. I do not mean men so rough-
ooking outwardly , for I think ho was
vbout the wildest specimen I saw any-
vhero , but farmers in farmer's clothes ,
vho arc gentlemen in manners and con-
orsation. I sow ono in particular who
, * ave mo two surprises- called at his
anch and found him in soiled work
clothes , coining in from the field with
iis work hands. 1 had known him when
10 was a boy and was intimate with his
married sisters in Cleveland. But ho
vas a rough looking specimen and his
ive years in Dakota seemed to have
aken the yolish off quito effectually. A
month afterward I attended an "event"
n the shape of a largo party , given in a
neighboring city , and was ama/.ed when
, his same man addressed mo , arrayed in
"n faultless evening suit with a dainty
ese in his button hole and all the airs
of a Now York society gentleman.
But , Mr. Editor , I started out to speak
norp particularp ! of the ladies of the
territory ; the gentlemen can take care
of themselves. There is not a town of
my size in the territory , I believe , that
lees not posses homes that would amaze
lity dwellers. I have visited five of the
principal cities , and in each I wap on-
; ertaincd at ono or more homes , which ,
.n the elegance of its appointments and
; eo charm of its mistress , would bo hard
to surpass. The daintiest services of
china , the most delightful taste in din
ner souvenir , a wealth of bric-a-brac , of
well chosen sketches , pictures and paint
ings , everything scorned to match and
everything to precisely fit the place for
which it was designed.
And wo need not bo surprised when
wo reflect a little. Perhaps two-thirds
of the population of Dakota is made up
of young men under forty , who have
gone to the territory to grow up with it.
Hero there and everywhere you meet
young men of twenty-five or thirty , sons
of wealthy or well-to-do parents in the
cast , who have married and taken up
their homes in this empires where there
is room to expand. They como from
Now York. Boston , Philadelphia , every
where in the east , and they bring be
side their culture , that ambitious spirit
and go-a-hcadativoness which charac
terizes the best blood of the continent.
They leave ths dones , the dudes and
the weaklings at home to lisp and amble -
blo in the parlors of fashion while they
go out to develop in a now world. They
are the best of the brawn , the muscle
and the brain of the nation , and I toll
them hero , Mr. Editor , that they want
to look out for the coming generation
of the northwest. I have a hope of
some of thcso days to myself become a
resident of the great territory. I like
it and I like its people. Till that' time
lam its faithful well writer.

Now Mexico Salt Springs.
Albuquerque Citizen : Ono of the
wonders of this wonderland is what is
known us the salt lakes. Thcso Juices
are situated on a high mesa , twenty
miles north of St. Johns , A. 'iand \
seventy miles southwest of Gallup.
There are two of these lakes , or , more
properly , springs , situated a few miles
apart. Ono of thcso springs is about
six hundred feet in diameter , and of
unknown depth , but has been sounded
over 100 foot. The water is intensely
salt , strong enough to eat the hair oft
an animal in a few minutes. Just at the
brink of this spring and not a foot from
and above its water , there is a line
spring of pure , fresh water which is
utilized for watering stock. The second
end lake or spring is about of the same
surface dimensions as the lirst , but it is
shallow , at ttio deepest point not being
raor.a than seven or eight foot deep.
The native imputation wade into the
cinring with long handled shovels and
shovel salt from the bottom , the quality
of which is not very good , but answers
well for stock. 'On tno bovdors of this
noel , as on the first'one described , there
is n spring -Of .slightly b.racUish wafer

Senator Voting
MOIXES , la. , Feb. a. [ S | > eelal Tele-
pram to the HEE. ] 1'horo was n , vcry nilld
session of the senate to-day compared to the
storm and stress of yesterday over the rail
road question. There was a sort of exper
ience meeting when Senators young and
Finn rose to a question of privilege and In
sisted that they had not been trying to bull
doze the senate. The press this morning had
commented sharply on the attitude of these
men , as members of the railroad committee ,
suggesting that they were trying to force the
senate to precipitous and ill-considered action
on the bill for the reduction of passenger fare
to 2 cents. Senator Young had along speech
spread on the records in which
lie disclaimed nny intention of
being a bulldozer and justifying his conduct
in the matter. Senator Finn also made a
confession of the same sort , and there was a
melting season for the space of several min
utes , during which these distinguished gen
tlemen protested that they were not trying
to bo dictators and run the legislature.
After their minds had thus been relieved the
senate proceeded to business.
In the house there was a little discussion
of interest over ttio Cummins bill relating to
the sale of railroad bonds. His bill provided
that when any railroad company , for the pur
pose of paying its bonds and obligations ,
should mortgage its property , these bonds
should not be sold for less than
90 cents on the dollar The bill was
reported back by the committee for idollnito
postponement but Mr. Cummins toolc the
lloor in favor of it. Ho urged that if the
railroads were obliged to comply with its pro
visions there would not have been t > o much
watered stock on which to pay dividends and
consequently freight rates might have been
reduced long ago.
Mr. Hull of lioonc , replied that the bill was
in the interest of the large trunk lines and
intended to squeeze the smaller lines of the
state. This turned the tide , and a substitute
ofl'ercd by Teal revoking the restriction on
the price of bonds was introduced and both
the bill and the substitute were referred
back to the committee.
The Iowa LicgiHlaturc.
Dns Muixud , la. , Feb. 3. At the begin
ning of the afternoon session of the senate ,
Mr. Young spoke at sonio length in reply to
accusations made that he had been buldo/ing
the senate regarding his bill. Mr. Finn also
defended his action. Numerous petitions
were presented protesting against the pas
sage of the Young Si-cent fare bill. Among
them were represented employes of the Chicago
cage & Northwestern shops , Hello Plnine ;
the Hrotherhood of Locomotive Firemen ,
Hello I'laino ; the Order of Hallway Conduc
tors , Cedar Hapids ; the Order of Hallway
Telegraphers , the Grand Order of Kuilwuy
Conductors , farmers of Dccatur county , etc.
Kef erred to the railway committee.
The bill passcii the , house relating to the
employment of deputy clerks of district
courts and fixing their salary at not more
than JX)0 ( ) per annum for the time actually
employed.
The house took up the joint resolution re
questing senators and representatives in con
gress to support Mr. Ingalls' arrearage pen
sions bill. An amendment by Mr. Uussell
that members of congress use all fair means
to adopt such arrearage pension bill as would
do ample justice to honorably discharged
soldiers passed.
The registration bill was read a third time ,
amended so as to limit registrrtion to towns
of over 3,500 , and passed.
The bill by Mr. Anderson of Hamilton , to
repeal the acts of the Sixteenth and Seven
teenth assemblies relative to voting tax and
bonds to aid railroads , was ordered en
grossed.
The bill regulating the sale of mortgage
bonds was referred back to the committee
after some debute.
After some discussion of the bill
providing for trimming hedge fences along
the public highway on partition lines , the
enacting clause of the bill was stricken out.
The house adjourned until Monday ,
Quito a stir was created in the senate by
the reading of n letter from "A Mechanic's
Wife , " stating that in her town workingmen
were compelled to sign the protest against
the passage of the 2-cent fare bill.
The joint resolution and memorial to con
gress asking the election of United States
senators by a vote of the people was re
ported by the people to bo indefinitely ix > st-
ixmed. The report was not accented and the
resolution was ordered engrossed.
The joint resolution relating to the postal tel
egraph was reported back and a substitute , by
'Woolson. adopted , to the effect that congress
men work for a law placing telegraph lines
and charges under a system of control an
alogous to that exercised over railroads. The
registry bill was reported back from the
house and all amendments concurred in ex
cept the limitation of towns of 8,500 and over ,
which was not adopted. Several measures
were introduced.
Mrs. Lieutenant Governor Hull gave a re
ception to the wives of legislators and others
this afternoon.
Ono Farmer Kills Another.
DBS MOINES , la. , Feb. 3. [ Special Tele
gram to the UKE. ] Particulars of a shooting
affray between neighboring farmers In
Marion county , have just been received here.
It seems that Noah Kclso , an old farmer
living about a mile and a half southwest of
Marysvlllo , had been accused of stealing hay
from his neighbor , John Matreo. The latter ,
with his son , went over to Kclso's to take
the hay from his stack , which they claimed.
Kelso saw them , and loading his gun , shot at
them. They returned the lire , killing the
old man almost instantly. The coroner's in
vestigation Is now in progress.

It is feared his injuries may prove fatal.
The Tally Sheet Forger.
COI.UMIIUS , O. , Fob , 3. Algeron Granvillc ,
of Chicago , one of the defendants and wit
nesses for the state in the tally sheet forgery'
cases , was placed on the stand this morning.
In October , 18S5 , he testitled , he did short
hand work for Montgomery , defendant.
Ho made a * tabulation of the returns
for Montgomery Wednesday or Thursday
following the election , and made a mistake of
100 votes in one of the townships , which
Montgomery discovered , and thus ascer
tained his defeat. The defendant
said they must do some
thing. In a short time Allen O. Myers
ran into the olllce and said John U. McLean
was bound to bo United States
senator , * no matter what it cost ;
thut the legislature was republican by
one majority , and if they could secure the
election of Ed Young from Franklin county
the legislature would bo ono democratic , and
that would elect McLean : that the only way
to do it was to Ilx the returns ; that
they had done thoork before
the election in Hamilton county , but it could
bo done afterward hero ; that ho wanted to
give , the republicans a dose of their own
medicinu for the performance of IhTil in the
south and asked witness to go ahead with
the work , as ho was an expert penman.
The ItiiHHlnn Frontier.
ST. PKiucfiiuiiG , Feb. 3. The Novoo
Vrcinyii publishes un article from u.well
Vnnwn military authority. In which the
writer churgth the Milltnir Wochenblatt of
> Hcrlin , with deceiving the German public ro-
p.udlnjrthe military | > osltluns of Germany
and Russia and says ini lupartlal. ; and gen-
crfti' " lueiiUtlou ; ' ot their . ' tru
positions is desirable In the Interests
of the two nations. Continuing no
says : "The only means of protecting Hussla
from German or Austrian attack is to in
crease the irawcr of the Husslan forts and
the number of troops on the frontier and to
expand the railway .system. The Invalldc
Itusso > rrertly pointed out Xhis
View. Hegardlng the number of
troops to the frontier districts , if
the extent of the area be considered , the
comparison will drive sixteen and n half
Austrian and German corps against eight and
a half Kusslan corps. "
The Novoe Vrcmya details the defensive
character of thoHussmn frontier armaments ,
and says Hussla does not covet an'Inch
of German territory , but will not
cede an inch of her own. Kussla
Is animated by n profound love of peace. She
will not conceal that she Is preparing for
defense. So long as Germany remains quiet
she will not bo menaced with an attack from
any quarter.

COMJMIIIA , S. C. , Feb. 8. [ Spccltil Tele
gram to the HKK. ] A knock-down and drag-
out light occurred in Evergreen church , Col-
tcton countylast night , between two preach
ers , In which n large congregation took sides.
Kev. A. M. Mlchelson protested against Key.
J. U. Holllns , formerly of Kentucky , being
allowed to preach in the church any longer.

read a communication which reflected upon
Ills character. The congregation , being at
tached to Holllns , declared ho should bo re

Steam VCBHC ! Iiiuppclors.
WASHINGTON' , Feb. 3. Tho.board of super
vising inspectors of steam vessels closed its
annual session to-day. The question of lifesaving
saving appliances was considered at great
length and the report of the special com
mittee was adopted. Tills says the only
practicable plan for safety would bo to re
strict the number of passengers on any ves
sel to the capacity of the boats they can
carry without detriment to the working of
the ship. This , however , would work such
a restriction on commerce that n rule to that
effect could not bo sustained by the board
without the active support of congress , and
Jiereforo it is requested that the secretary of
; hc treasury refer this report to congress , so
that if it so desires such restrictions it will
-xprcss them by amendment to the present
aws , and also request other nations to join
'n such restrictions.
Tlio Kaw luc Gorge.
KANSAS CITV , Mo , , Feb. 3. [ Special Tele-
ram to thoUnn.J The ice gorge in the Knw
river , just above the new Hock Island bridge ,
remains llrm although several attempts to
In-oak It with dynamite were made to-day. It
is probable now that the damage will bo con-
lined to the carrying away of the false work
on the Hock Island bridge , when the gorge
lees break. Dispatches from Lawrence ,
[ Can. , say that n small gorge broke there this
afternoon but its effect hero will not bo up-
iireciable. The Missouri river at this point
stands ton feet above low water mark.
Owing to the fact that the ice is rather honey
combed from the warm weather and the driz
zling rain of to-day and to-night , u break is
looked for at almost any time. If any damage
results it will bo only trifling.
