A PROl'ilKCY. Col. Fred T. Eveans in a breezy in­

terview with a SiOux City Journal re­porter Rives a glowing account of the developments, the near future has in store for the Black Hills country and especially the region adjacent to the far famed Dakota Hot Springs. That this country will soon leap into promi­nence, no one at all acquainted with the wonderful resources, which only await development can doubt. Vast deposits of gypsum which will supply the whole northwest with stucco, simply await the advent of railways to provide means of transportation. The same may be said of the unequalled sand­stone and marble and jasper, and coal. These arc auxiliaries, which are in the near future to lift the wonderful health resort—Hot Springs into prominence in the commercial world. With- the advent of railways, Hot Springs will soon distance all her sister cities in the Black Hills, for, in natural resources she has few rivals in the northwest. Here is ample water power for a hun­dred factories, and water power which is just the s,lino all the year round. No freezing of streams can affect her fac-

On lying down again, he saw H * second time—plainer, if possible, than before; and then he noticed that one of the faces was a lit­tle 'paler—say lire shades—than tho other.

She thought it was a 'sign* that he was to be elected to a second term of office, and that the jftlenesi of one of the faces was an omen that he should not see life through the last term."

Sioux CoiiuiiIssionV Report.

The report of the Sioux Commission which has recently been made public, in iriving an account of their efforts negotiate with Indians for the opening up of the reservation in Dakota and Nebraska, criticise in plain language, the methods heretofore adopted in the management of Iiidian affairs, and be­lieves that a now course should be pur­sued of a stringent nature by the gov­ernment, in order to bring about a speedy au'd'desirable result.

We have confidenco to believe that the Commission pcifectly understands the situation and that no coaxing measures will prevail. It is evidently manifest, that the Indians have more sense and cunning than they are credit­ed with1 and that a continued support by tho government and an indefinite loafing period under its protecting administration is better in their way of thinking than to depend upon their own exertions in raising it from

the best adapted and will give the best j the soil. So the only alternative is, for results upon the prairie lands Of Dako- j the government to firmly but kindly ta. \V e think this is a step in the right j enforce the se'verality business and let direction, and we hope the exchange of the resGrvation'ob utilized to some pur-sound philosophical ideas upo these. pose other than a blocade to civilization to Dakota, all important questions will; and a bar to commerce. meet with benificial and practical re-' suits. No country in the wide World would have a more beautiful lanscitpe than Southern Dakota if her plains were only dotted with beautiful groves.

A liberal railroad reduction is ex­pected, and a hearty welcome is exten­ded to all those who are interested in the growth of trees.

There must be something in the at­mosphere around: Chicago that breeds disorder and anarchy. The courts are sending the affected ones to qurantine and hades as fast as possible, yet the streets seem to be full of this walk­ing pestilential element. The report is current that another enactment of the Hay Market sensation is taikted of by the anarchists.

Experiments which have been ab ready made prove decisively that »| Hhinacyrk Airomio man's weight con be supported by planes | XXV OllUO) or sails of very moderate extent, not much greater, proportionally to his | It body, than an eagle's wing,-if only there is either rapid motion of advance or a strong current of air against their slightly slanted surface. But these ex­periments have not yet been so carried on as to show fully what can be done when practice in the art of balancing in the air and in making the a" * ments necessary' for changing the tion of flight has been sufficiently tended. Yet Mr. Charles Spencer, a teacher of gymnastics in England, was able, after obtaining no greater velocity than would be given by running down a small incline, to sustain flight by the supporting action'of wicker wings for a distance of 120 feet. Besnier, indeed, toward the close of the last eenturv, devised a method of supporting the body by pinions, which enabled^ him, after a sharp run, to fly across a river of considerable width- It is certain that very little is to be gained from the attempts which have been made to direct balloons. The can lie given to aballoon in still air is very small. A very moderate breeze would carry a balloon one way despite all the mechanical attempts to direct it in another, let the balloon be shaped as it may. Moreover, all such attempts are dangerous, for the wind lias a groat hold on the necessarily large surfaco of a balloon, and going against tho wind would subject the balloon to dcstructivo influences. Whenever man attacks tho prJ)»1( m of flight, seeking real advantage from its mastery, hn will aim at mnch more than snch mere floatingpfrfcor as the ballo.in gives; r.t more, evrd, than the rapid floating motion, with power of guidance, | which may be obtained by the experi- I, ments suggested above. There must ulso lie a liowcr'of energetic propulsion while s'ifl in the air. This might be obtained by suitablo adjustment levers to lie worked*by. a man in actual flight. ltnt while I l>elieve flight to .lie possi­ble for man in this way, I consider the only kind of flight which is likely to be r.mlly useful to men to lie that of flying niaeliinos, propelli d, balanced, and di­rected by some one or otht r of the nat­ural forces man liiir brought under control.
