Young Man, Come West.

There are thousands of men in the
east who are, as it were, living from
hand to mouth, and toiling daily for a
mere sustenance, while out here there
are many inducements offered that
would place them in q sphere of inde-
pendence in a short time. There you
have to suffer the most abject slavery
while under the tyranical rule of coal
and railroad corporations, and contin-
ually living in fear that something will
turn up whereby you will be deprived
of the means of support. We say
leave there and come out here where
Uncle Sam has millions of good, fertile
land, coal banks by the thousands Of
acres,gold mines awaiting to be worked,
which will in short time place you

Pioueer-Press VI. Gen. Hazen.


The St Paul Pioneer-Press contains an
article IN relation to Gen. Hazen that is
so mean and contemplate that the con.
clusion is forced that the Pioneer-Prcss
people have admitted an article from the
pen of some disappointed camp bum
mer and has forgotten to attach the as
terisk. As mean as the Pioneer-Press
people are by some people supposed to
be, we doubt if one of their enemies
would for moment presume them capa-
BILE Of so shamefully villifying worthy
gentleman, and that, too, without appa-
rant cause. Not single point in their
criticism Of the General is true. We are
familiar with the Generals army record
and have been somewhat intimate with
him for years. and do not hesitate to de-
clare that we never knew braver man
though we have known officers more
reel kless-or one more earnestly devoted
to his profession, or more faithful to the
trusts placed in his charge. He has been
ambitious, of course, but in cur expert
ence of several years in the army we
found that those officers who were not
ambitious were of precious little use to
their country, and usually made a rec
ord of little value to anybody. Perhaps
in Hazen's warfare On camp bummers
and contract thieves [not that all con-
tractors are thieves) he has incurred the
hostility of that class, while in his ill ad-
vised warfare on the North Pacific he
has incurred the hostility of others, but
ne is gentleman for all that and a wor-
thy officer, and the fact remains that
whe ther Belknap sent him in exile to Ft.
Buford he expressed regret that he could
not find meaner place to send him to.
The fact that Gen. Hazen ranked Gen.
Miles, and it was desirable to let the lat
ter carry on the Indian campaign with
out coming in conflict with one of high
er rank, may. have been considered in
sending Gen. Hazen abroad; but why
should this be brought up to Gen. Ha-
zens discredite Who is there that would
wish to take from Gen. Miles the COM
mand which he has handled so well
No officer in the army, not even the gall
liant little Phil, should be left in position
where, by all of the rules Of war he would
be expected to wave rank or interfere
with the successful work Of brother Of
ficer. ,....ss., 80. e,

Press to reserve its choice epithets. for
its warfare with Judge Page. He is on

Better than tho Mines.

o0CC0C tho
Oliver Dslrymple and associates are
now harvesting nine thousand acres of
wheat in Northern Dakota on the line
of the North Pacific railroad. The
crop will average more than twenty
bushels to the acre, and will yield ,
profit Of about 500, 900 over and above
ill expenses, including the cost Of the
land. At the present value Of railroad
bonds, the land on which this crop was
raised cost sixty cents an acre. The
breaking cost two dollars and fifty
cents IN acre. The crop WAS produced,
harvested: and sent to market st IN
expsnss Of not to exceed six dollars an
acre more. The return from this crop
will be not less than twenty dollars an
ac.e, giving the profit Of 100000 above
mentioned. y ".' -
But this is not ill. The land on
which this crop was raised is now worth
twenty five to thirty dollars An acre,
and this gain can be fairly Plac to
the credit of the en- terprise. Last year
the crop was injured by grasshoppers,
but after two years operations Dalryn-
ple and associates, among whom are
Aessrs. Cass, Cheney and other prom!-
nent men of the N. P, find their clear
gam ever $250,ooO. Now there are
other lands on the line Of the North
Pacific just as good as those occupied
by these gentlemen, and other oppor tu-
mites even more inviting than they
took advantage of three years ago, and
we'll directed efforts are as certain to
bring success in other cases. =.
This is the most prominent of tho
farming, enterprises on the line of the
North Pacific, but there are other en-
terprises where the same results have
been reached, thoug h OIL . smaller
scale. Tho mas Garfield, however, will
realize this season . profit OF not less
than twenty-five thousand dollars on
his farming operations at Lake Park.

A Mr.. Williams, living in Seely
Township, was in town Tuesday last
on his way to Hsnkato to consult ply
sicians regarding one of the strange st
freaks, or diseases, that the medical
fraternity ever heard of. Mr.. Williams
is . man that has always enjoyed TO-
bust health until within the past two
months, and in the last thirty-six days
he has fallen away in flesh at the rate
of one pound day without experlenc-
ing any uneasiness or sickness what
ever. He has consulted several physi-
clans without finding any relief. Mr..
Williams says it is something alive IN
his stomach, and whate it is, it will
move around quite freely, raising the
flesh half the thickness of ones arm in
its peranbulations, at eyeningtide and
just at sunrise each day. The strange
creature will set up a croaking noise
similar to frog. and which can be
heard quite distinctly for fifty feet. 1t
| allows him to eat nething that it does
not like, and ;fhe does. be has to throw
it off. The mans stomach is under
| complete control Of this creature, ana
in his efforts to sxtermlnate the rep.
tile, he has abstained from eating any
thing one whole day but salt and drink
ing slippery elm tes; but this severe
treatment failed to have any impress
sion, and when at night be filed his
stomach with water. he could feel and
hear the animal splashing around in
full enjoyment Of bodily health. At
another time Mr.. Williams experiment.
ed with spirits of turpentine, hoping
that his pet would succumb to the in
evitable, but the pet couldn't see it, still
lives, and all the remedies that have
been given for tape worms fail to pros
duce any effect upon this creature.
Whatever physician will remove this
animal without detriment to the mans
lie, viii need no better recommend for
his Skill. This is no fabricated story
gotten up to create charity or seasa
ton, butall the facts that We have sta
ted can be substant;ated by good reiia-
Ole parties. We have known Mr.. Will
iiams quite period, and have talked
with him about his complaint, and his
greatest wonder is, how his flesh can be
reduced one pound day and he hav-
ing no preceptable sickness.
