North, South, East and West. With
Few Casualties to Mar the
Occasion.

The glorious Fourth was duly, sacrefuy,
numerously and according to time honored
custom celebrated BY the good people of st.
Paul The day was ushered in with the
usual amount of noise and loud ringing
salutes from improvised cannon, guns. pis-
tolls, and all kinds of dogs of war were
unmuzzled. This kind of patriotism
had full sway all day, not an
interval of stiffness greeting the wide opened
auricular from early morn to dewy eve.
Everybody was out in holiday attire; the
streets we're thronged with families or neigh
borhoods all bent upon a special day of
specialenjoyment.
There was no organized or general obsev-
ance of the day, but each individual or
clique sought his own peculiar style of
celebrating, and the sun went down
on a tired out and thoroughly
satisfied community satisfied that an i'm
portant duty was we'll done.
st. Paul and its environments offered all
manner of amusements. There was no lack
of choice in picnics, races, excursions, lawn
parties, regattas, etc. And that man was
most thorough American who took 'em all
in, though he had to stimulate for the emer-
gency. Among the good deeds performed
in honor of the day, and to the satisfaction
of all participants, the following are worthy
OF mention:

FARGO, D. T., July 4.-Fargo and Moor
head, though rival towns oh all other mat
ters, felt the softening effects of the glorious
Fourth and pooled issues in order to do fit
ting honor to the day. At $50 this morning
the citizens OF both places assembled in
front of Headuarters hotel in Fargo, and
after listening to delightful music from the
Fargo brass band formed in line, headed by
the band. The procession was composed
of Odd Fellows in full force fifty, or sixty
rag mufius Enthusiastically dressed and mounted
on horses, one hundred carriages filled with
the youth and beauty of the town and citi-
zens generally on foot. ~ a.7 y,,s..st5s
The procession marched down Front
street, where it received an artillery
salute, to the court house and
thence to Island park, south of town, where
eloquent speeches were made by Judge
Barnes and Attorneys Benton and Miller.
In the afternoon the crowd adjourned to
the Moorehead Driving park, estimated at
about 5000, and witnessed races, running
and trotting. Tonight the steamer Gran

The houses in both places were decorated

the thorough and complete arrangements
which resulted in the preservation Of good

Mackey before the Tellers.

Mr.. Mac key took occaiion to ex.
plain the origin Of the Republican
tissue ballo,s in Charleston. Word
was sent to him that Democrats were
making arrangements to stuff the
boxes with "k!ss jokes" The Repub.
leans held Il consultation and can
va&S"d the means for circumventing
the frauds. 1t was learned that the
Democrats proposed to create an ex-
cess oftickcts by stuHing, and then to
draw out lsepublicn ballots, detect
ing them by the more substantial
paper upon which it was supposed
they would be printed. 1t was sug-
gcslcd that il would be well to supply
Republicans with ii sue ballots, SO,
that they would be indistinguishable
by the touch. The Republicans,
therefore, Ind 10000 Of the ordinary
Republican ballots anl 10000 Re-
publican ballots on tissue paper. The
latter were Of two sizes, the largest
being Identical in size and type with
the ordinary ballots, and the smallest
being half the size. L he latter, how
ever, were about twice the size of the.
Democratic tissue tickets. 1t was
known of course that with three
Democratic judges Of election ut each
poll no possible chanc,of<tr fing;by
Republicans existed, even ifthere had
Ec.n the disposition. l. was intcnd.l
if the Democrats were founl to b,
using kiss..jokcs, to distribute the Re.
publican tissue ballots aud vote them
openly in sufficient quantities to con.
Ease the plans Of the Democrats with
regard to drawing out. On election
day no Democratic tissue tickets
were t. be seen, and the Republicans,
believing that they had been IN
necessarily alarmed, did not distribute
their tissue tickets except a few which
had been put out early i'll the day.
AS Il matter Of fact the returns show
that 2G9 Of the larger Republican
tissue ballots were cast and counted
and six O.. the smaller size.
During the emit re examination IT,
day Mr.. O'Connor, the Democratic
opponent Of Mr.. Mackey and the
Congressman elect from Charleston
District, was present. ~. y. Tribune.

A Kansas WOman's Farm.

Mr.. Hoadley showed us yesterday some
heads of wheat, sample of forty five
acres, now growing on the farm of Mrs.
Mary Macutchen, situated about five
miles from this city. Itpromises to yield
twenty bushels to the acre. This Mrs.
Macutchen is somewhat remarkable
woman. She was left a widow with four
children more than ten years ago. In
1874, when half the people were scared
out of their wits by the grasshoppers, she
contracted for an unimproved farm for
$500, which she gave to one of her
boys. She has since paid for the land
from the surplus products of her own
farm of 100 acres. Last year she bought
the Bob Allen farm of $50 acres at the
price of 50 500, one-fourth of which she
has already paid, and will pay over an
other fourth from the crops of this year.
She runs her farm with the aid of her
two sons and without much hired help.
This is a good example of what has
been done in the midst of what are
called hard times in Kansas, by widow
left with a family of children, and no
resources but farm of 100 acres
