Beecher's Offers S..

The Duluth Tribune is responsible for
the following, which is portion of the
late interview that paper had with Mr.
Beecher. 'Referring to the terrible ordeal
through which he passed few years since
which happened to come up in conver.
sation IN the most accidental manner, MI.
Beecher broke out in a sort of by the way
form, and said: Speaking about my
experience as lecturer, reminds me Of

received few years ago. At q certain
period in my life, which you no doubt
we'll remember, I was offered by sort of
syndicate who was in the business, $780,.
600 i'll would give them my time, in.
cluding Sundays, for the space of twelve
months. They offered to pay me $780,
600 in advance and the remaining $780,.
900 in twelve equal lnstallments.
We naturally exclaimed. "What temp
tation!" "t
mot bit of It," he replied. "Do you
suppose I would 60 about the country

The North and South Line.

AAAO ASSs S1A SssS~A ~VWSSA AAsSVe
There Is no use Of lodging OF trying to
dodge the point; jamestown is sure to
have north and south line running the
entire length Of the valley, from Yankton
to Devils Lake, 10 less than two years.
The surveys have already been made, and
tho grading is progressing with all pos.
sible vigor. While this il going on James.
town awaits with anxiety the results It
will bring. Some of our citizens are Of
the opinion that the enterprise will prove
disastrous to jamestown, while others,
with longer heads can see wherein it will
greatly benefit our young city, aud make
it the center Of two great commercial
thoroughfares, viz: The Northern Pa
ci6c and the St. Paul and Pacific. There
are hundreds of thousands of acres Of the
choicest lands Dakota affords that will be
brought into state of tilllbility by this
road that would never be so much as
walked over by gang of disintcrested
surveyors but for it. Consider the vast,
and as yet unbrokon territory south of US
and north of US along the James river that
has never been lifted from the hands Of
the Goye: nment. Nothing short of rail-
road will ever bring these lands into mar.
ket. and not until these lands have been
bought and settled upon will jamestown
be anything but q way station with but
one outlet. If We ever expect to become
a metropolis we must have something sub
stantial to back US up, and that something
must consist of a thickly settled country
around us. If the incoming road proves
disastrous to the business men of James
town, which we hardly think it will, the
only redress for them is to move out into
smaller towns along the line, and by so
doing enjoy the same privileges they now
enjoy. .v.......-. .s...i ias1..--

The Democratic Convention.

Inc Dom0Cf4tlC IOhVontlOn.
The County Convention of the unter-
ri6ed, called for the purpose of choosing
. delegate to represent the Democratic end
Of Stutsman county at the territorial con.
vention to be held at Sioux Falls, on the
10th of the present month, came of last Sat.
urday' evening, as per call. Half an hour
before the time arrived for the FIRST gun
to lie fred, the only occupant of the court
room was our friend D. NJ. Kelleher,
Chairman of the County Committee, and
and another gentleman whom we did net
know: Presently gentle little racket
corresponding in sound to that of back
i6g span Of mules and an empty wagon
out of barn door, broke upon the ears of
the lonesome two "They are coming"
mused D. NJ. as he hurled the stub of a
cigar into neighboring spittoon. A
moment later there appeared in the door.
way ''Uncle" Mclean and Judge" Kel.
logg. D. NJ. groaned, and invited the
gentlemen to sit down: They were tired,
as usual, and obeyed D. NJ. then pro.
ceeded to call the meeting to order by
stating the object of the convention,
which hs did in his usual eloquent man.
ner.
At the close of his remarks, Mr.. Braune,
followed by several other gentlemen who
are said to belong to the work train,
drifted into the room. The boss
moved that Mr.. Braune act as chair.
man for the evening, and Uncle
Mclean seconded the motion. The mo-
tion being carried, Mr.. B. stepped for
ward and thanked the convention for the
honor thus bestowed upon him. After
which he proceeded to bore the conven.
.tion with long, windy speech, which
was not in any sense relative to the meet
ing. After he had tired himself out and
disguised every one, even to Bro. Kellogg
and Uncle Mclean, who were fast asleep,
he sat down.
Some gentleman at D. Ms left proposed
his name for consideration and before any
one could second it, proceeded to put the
question himself, entirely forgetting that
he was stealing the laurels from the cap
of the dignided chairman. A punch in
the ribs from D. NJ. checked him, how.
ever, in his mad career, and MI. B. arose
and put the motion, which had in the
meantime been seconded by Uncle Nc
Lean. The vote was unanimous and Mr..
Kelleher was declared the delegate to
Sioux Falls.
The democrats of Stutsman county, as
class, are educated and intelligent and
among them are some Of our leading citi.
zens, and if they would turn out to the
public meeting as it is their duty to do,
they could accomplish something efcredlt
to themselves and the county they SO
largely represent. Mr.. Kelleher is agocd
party man and will represent, without
doubt, the democratic voters of the county
in an able manner. They could not haze
