A telegram from Bismarck saws:

A telegram from Bismarck says:
E. N. Stebbins, Of New Jersey, who re-
Gently passed the Missouri river Indian
agencies in review, was no member of the
board of Indian commissioners, as he
claimed. He was a fraudulent claimant and
a whitewasher. He was q clerk of the
board without authority. Generals sCarlin
at Standing Rock demanded his papers, and
he had none to show. Carlin then bid him
good day. Stebbius was very impudent to
Carlin.
The news dispenser at Bismarck may have
an object in view in giving circulation to a
statement so untruthful as is the foregoing,
and he may have been imposed upon by de.
signing parties. The same telegram con-
tains an announcement of the arrival OF
Gen. Hammond at Bismarck and the infer
ence is that he gave this bogus information
to the correspondent. 1t is we'll known
that Maj. Stebbins took no stock in Ham
mand's up river foolishness.

PAIGE TO Be PROSECUTED.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil.

It is pretty generally known that Mr.. E.
R. Paige, of this city, has been lecturing
lately on sound, electricity, light, heat, ETC.,
and illustrating his actions with tuning
forks, jars sounding-boards, ETC., and among
other things has used Bell telephone,
scotts phonantograph. published years be-
fore Thomas Edison was heard of, and from
which the phonograph is evidently modi-
6cation, the only difference being the use OF
tin-foil instead of mp-black, thus making
the reproduction of sound possible. A re.
port of these lectures seem to have reached
Mr.. Edison's ears at New York, and the
other day the lecturer received telegram
from James Redpath, saying that he would
be Immediately prosecuted for infringing
upon Mr.. Edison's patent unless he desisted
from lecturing. Our readers will be about
as much surprised as Mr.. Paigewas to learn
that Mr.. Edison had patent on intelli-
gence, and especially on lecturing.

vention has been called at the capital.
Yankton is the common center for about
two-thirds the population Of the territory
and can be readily reached by delegates
from remote points. Hence the action Of
the committee in selecting this city a. the
scene Of the convention win be entirely sat-
isfactory to majority Of tho delegates. Tt
will be perceived that the older settled
counties of the territory have been reduced
in representation. This was probably done
for some wise reason and we are not dis
posed to criticize that portion of the COM
mittee's work. The gentlemen comprising
it have acted conscientiously in the dis
charge of their duty and in our estimation
the only blunder committed by them was in
granting to Lawrence county representa-
ton 90 much in excess of that of any other
county in the territory. The unreasonable
demands made by this county seem to have
had an effect upon the usual good judgment
of the gentlemen comprising the committee
and they have been induced to indulge in a
concession which will not be very we'll re-
ceived by the balance of the territory. But
this is no time to put forward harsh express
sions because of difference in opinion, and
it is not our purpose to fall out with the
committee on account of what it has done.
The apportionment is perhaps, as equitable
as could have been made under the circum-
stances. The work of the republican party
of the territory now is to select honorable
and intelligent men to make up this conven-
tion and out Of it to procure an able repre-
sentative for Dakota in the congress Of the
United States.

Butler was put on the committee by the
democrats Mr.. Potter was yoked to the
gentleman from Massachusetts, as matter
Of choice. He was keen to try the expert
ment, and, now that he is being dragged
along as burly Ben wills, he finds it of little
avail to call halt. The situation recalls a
little story told by the Rock Island Press.
When the town was small village and it's
people had lots of fun all to themselves, one
Of the very sober, digni6ed citizens put his
own head under one end Of yoke and q
little BULLS under the other, to teach the ami
NAL how to be useful and work. When he
found the bull was running away with him
down dirt road on Illinois street he measur-
ed sixteen feet at a jump, kept, up with the
bull, and yelled at the top Of his voice !:
"Look out! Here we come, darn our fool
souls. Head lis soembody )" and, when halt
ed and the yoke was lifted from his neck, he
yelled "Unyoke the bull; never mind me.
I will stand.

A CONVENTION CALLED.


The action of the republican territorial
committee in fixing place and date for the
territorial congressional nominating conven-
ton, and apportioning the representation of
the various counties in that convention is
indicated in the call which stands at the
head our paper. 1t gives to the, entire ter
rltory representation of one hundred and
thirty-nine delegates, an increase Of thirty
eight over the numerical strength of the
convention of two years ago. In the coun-
ties of Armstrong, Charles Mix, Dawson,
Grant, Hanson, Lincoln and Sully, the rep
resentation remains unchanged from that of
two years ago. The county Of Barnes gains
one delegate, Bon Homme two, Brookings
one, Csss one, Grand Forks two, Hutchin-
son one, Lake one, Minnehaha two, Moody
two, Pembina one, stutsman one, Traill two
and Turner one. The county Of Burleigh
loses one delegate, Clay one, Richlsnd one,
Onion one and Yankton one. Codington,
Custer, Duel, Lawrence, McCook and PEN
nington counties have been organized since
the last convention, and appear for the first
time in territorial political call. Two
years ago the three Black Hills counties
we're given = nominal represen: alton in the
convention, but Is they were unorganized
and did not take part in the convention, that
action farnishes no precedent for the present.

All those who have heretofore acted, Or now
desire to affiliate, with the republican party of
Dakota, are cordially invited to meet in their re-
spective counties and select delegates to repre-
sent them in this convention.
The attention of republicans is called to the
necessity of nominating candidates for district
attorney in Retrospective districts and as there
are no district committees, the territorial COM
mittee suggests that the delegates to this conven-
ton be authorized to appoint committees for
their respective districts, to call conventions for
this purpose.

The Republicans held DISCRIMINATING
convention at Newburg on Friday of last
week. The crowd was not large, and it
is thought by many that a majority of
those present were Democrats and Green
hackers. They met in the hall over Gib-
son and AlErighrs store at O'Clock, and
proceeded to appoint the different cons
mittees. We heard the names of several
person read who were not in town.
DR.. Y. +. Lanham was chairman lie
said he didn't know much about parlia-
menty practice, which was clearly proven
when he put the question 10 the conveH~
ton as to whether hey would adopt the
report Of the committee on permanent or
ganization in which he was named AZ
chairman. Hc looked as wise as an owl
and did the best he could.
Nomination Of candidates for House Of
Delegates being i'm order, Mr.. i. IIccr~
mans nominated Martin L. shtTcr, Esq,
OF Austen, an honest, capable man, well
qualified for the position, and VIM. g.
Worlcy nominated Captain WIN. Elliott.
Thejob was put up for Elliott and Mr..
Heermans moved that no further vote
be taken and that Elliott be nominated
by reclamation. Mr.. Shaner, if nomina
fed, would have received the support of
nearly every person ON this side of the
river. Nearly all acknowledge that he is
the most able man, and we have heard
many Republicans express themselves
