VIM. Schimmel was reelected secretary and

Cambridge Qsanti county, Press; The
jury appointed by the judge of probate. with
himself, made an examination as to the san
ity or insanity of Minnie Hossman on the
7th and found her good subject for the in
sane asylum. 1t appears from the testimony
produced that her husband, now divorced,
John Kocher, used to abuse her terribly, and
that this arrangement or insanity is caused
from abuse, neglect and separation.
J.H. Danforth, formerly of st. Paul, re-
siding two miles from Anoka, while riding
| in his sleigh, fell over backwards from an
attack of heart disease. A farmer stopped
the horses after they had ran long distance,
and finding Mr.. D. unconscious in his
sleigh, thought he was drunk. He took
him to his house. When consciousness re-
turned, 30 that he could tell who he was and
where he wanted to go, he was tumbled into
his sleigh and driven to his home, but was
nearly chilled to death when he got there.
It required jealous and kindly ministrations
to restore him.
Mankato Review: The diphtheria made its
first appearance in Mankato in July, 1873,
and from that date till January first, period
of six months, there were fifty deaths. The
deaths from that disease for 1879 cover a
period of twelve months, showing an aver
age of about one and third per week. A
large proportion of these deaths occurred
in the first half of the year, numbering
in July, We think, forty odd. 1t will be
seen that since that date the disease has
been gradually abating until its prevalence
as an epidemic may be considered practi
cally at an end.

| firm Of Griggs & Co.; Pete Carroll, already
noticed Thos. E. Bryne, and many others
too numerous to mention. w. j. Doheny is
also one of the leading grocery merchants
| here, and is doing much more than q snug
comfortable business. Hon. Geo. 81. Walsh
another old citizen of st. Paul, is one of the
leading business men here, and has long
since become an important factor in work
ing out the progress and development of
Grand Forks. Mr.. Walsh is the president
of the territorial council of Dakota and in
future political complications may yet grasp
the scepter of delegate to Congress. He is a
thriving and prosperous business man, Of
genial and popular demeanor, and is daily
growing in the confidence and affection of
the citizens of the Northern section of the
territory especially. His name has already
been mentioned prominently for delegate,
and all Northern Dakota responds heartily to
the suggestion. 1t is, as before intimated,
within the range of possibilities that he may
prove the ''dark horse" and "catch on to
the position. If 30, it is needless to say he
will prove a most acceptable member. Major
j. G. Hamilton is another of the coming Re-
publican politicians. He has been resident
here for eighteen months and is already
credited with casting longing eyes towards
the council, the Office held by Mr.. Walsh.
Indeed, spirited contest between these two
is predicted, in case Mr.. Walsh is not trans
ferred to higher spheres, and again enters
the field for his present place. The Major
is active and energetic and is destined to
play full hand, and as he is comba.ive, if
not pugnacious by nature, he is likely to
prove thorn in the side of some of his po-
litical confreres.
Grand Forks is, in the opinion of her cit
liens, the culture great" of the valley, and
will, it is claimed, within very short time
pluck the tiara of superiority from the brow
of her rival-Fargo. She has already enter
ed upon the struggle for the possession of
the name and reputation of being the
brightest jewel in the coronet of Dakota and
if energy, perseverance and pluck are of any
avail in winning the prize, she is sure to get
it. B.

much for farmers products as they do
elsewhere, and show general liberality
in the support of good schools as they
do elsewhere, and rid the place of

The Bridge.

LEWISTON, June I, 1886.
Ed. TELLER:-ln one of the late is
sues of the TELLER an intelligent cor
respondent in writing about the bridge
SO much needed across the Clearwater
suggests that some one give estimates
of how this great need may be supplied
l believe that to be very pertinent
suggestion just at this time, and as
nearly every one now is thinking about
having bridge, I wonder that more
suggestions are not made. A bridge
over that river will not cost such a
great sight as many may suppose. The
bottom of the river is one of the very
best, having no quicksand or mud, and
no trouble would be encountered in
placing piers, no expensive foundations
would be needed at all, and it is these
that cost so much in bulldog bridges.
In fact, all. the natural advantages
needed are present and in very favora-
BILE conditions. No immense stone
piers and abutments will be needed at
all. All the piers necessary can he
constructed by building wooden cribs
of tamarack logs and filling in with
stone. such as is readily obtained upon
the beach. Piers constructed in this
manner can be made as durable and
efficient as any. II in the course of
years the logs should become decayed.
it will be a matter of very little ex-
pense to renew them as needed, and
thereby keeping the bridge just as safe
and serviceable as could be made bv
my means. Now bridge constructed

Horrible Murder.

Some six or seven weeks ago there came
to Walla Walla from The Dalles a Young
fhan by the name of Nicholas Bill. who
bought cart and tank and obtained the
right to sprinkle Main street. BY his up-
right course and genial manner he obtained
good share of the patronage of our mer.
chants, and was making soma money.
but yesterday all his hopes were blasted.
and his young energy paralyzed by the re
ceipt of dispatch from his brotherinlaw
at The Dalles, saying, ''Con,o home at once.
Your father has killed your mother. -
AS soon as he could rally from the sicken.
ing sensation that overlook him, on reading
this brief but to him most horrible news
he hastily closed out his business to Nh.
Kerr, who owns the opposition sprinkler, and
left yesterday afternoon fer the Dalles.
From all that could be gathered from those
to whom he had told his troubles. it seems
that some years ago Bills father and
mother, while residing in the east had some
trouble and they parted. Mr.. Bill who is
now under arrest for murder after spending
considerable money in getting or trying to
get divorce. started for Oregon with the
balance of his family, consisting of several
children and settled ~ The Dalles. About
two weeks ago Mrs. Bill appeared on the

Resignation of Geo. Young, mar

The following resolution was offered:
Rrso'ved, That all parties interested in
building a wharf boat and warehouse for the
benefit of the citizens of the city and coun-
ty, and those interested in purchasing the
ferries across Snake and Clearwater rivers,
or building bridges across the same, for the
accommodation of the travelling public, are
invited to meet the common council at their
next regular meeting on the evening of the
first Monday in July, 1850, and present to
them their proposals for the construction of
the same, and what returns they will ex-
pect from the city, travelling public and
shippers for the uses of the same
On motion of Glass, seconded by
Kress, the resolution was adopted

that river for Sl5, 1000, or maybe much

that river for $4,000, or maybe much
less. Many persons who admit the
great necessity of this bridge shrug
their shoulders and 90 off muttering
something about taxes, without facing
the subject squarely and giving it con-
sideration as they would any other sub
ject of truly business nature. The
people interested in this matter should
sit down and reason together, throwing
aside the prejudice against the bridge
that has been Systematically cultivated
for selfish ends, for prejudice always
has been the oane of the world and
will prove the ruin of the farmer or
merchant that is governed by it. There
is in this county about s75O,00O worth
of taxable property. If bonds be is
sued for'the amount of $4,000, $4,000
tc be paid every year for five years, the
extra taxes on the amount of prope, ty
now in the county would not be one
half a cent on the dollar, and before
two years the amount of taxable
property in the county will be dou-
bled, and then for the remaining
three years the amount of extra tax
on account of the bridge would be
only one-tifth of cent on the dollar.
1t seems that no one would object to
this when the great advantage of a
free bridge is the object to be attained.
Amy community as large as this in
any other part of the civilized world
would readily join in such an enter
prise. Let bridges be made across the
rivers, and then there will be no occa-
sion for correspondents to vent their
spleen against the traders of Lewiston,
for Cuisines is business" and there
ale plenty of business men with capt.
tai ready to 90 where business is.
This bridge question is the key to the
whole matter of exchange about which
we have read so much lately in the
TELLER
/ am informed that all the mer.
chants Of Lewiston are in favor of the
bridge, and if the farmers across the
river desire to exchange their produce
with merchants on favorable terms, all
they have to do is to Join hands and
avail themselves of the most natural
advantages for trade. which advantages
Lewiston does possess beyond question
or dispute.
The demand must be made before
the supply will be furnished, in any
business. If that bridge We're now in
use the demand for merchandise would
increase, retail trade would be more
than tripled and merchants stimulated
to make arrangements to supply that
kind of trade. The natural advanta-
gFs of Lewiston have heretofore COM
PEELED her merchants to use all their
force in supplying the Wholesale trade
demanded by the mines, as evidenced
by the hundreds of tons of freight
shipped every season. All that would
be needed to bring about this demand
for retail trade would be the construc,
ton of that inevitable bridge, and then
the farmers would quickly see that
where the demand is the supply will
be, and if one man cannot furnish it
another will. If those discussing the
subject would only lay aside prejudice
and passion and avoid the nose cutting
principle, this vexatious question would
soon be settled i'll o satisfactory man

the o. r. l. N. Company as set forth
in the Oregonian and published on
our outside, it is shown that that com
pany have determined to abandon the
purpose of constructing branch road
from their Taxas and Unionfat road
to run up Cow Greek in the direction
of Genesee fiat and the Potlatch. for
tho simple reason that such a road
would be parallel with the Snake and
Clearwater rivers and only distant
from these rivers about or miles,
and they propose to do the carrying Of
this section of country on the north
side by their boats, which they claim
can navigate the Snake between Taxas
and Lewiston at least ten months in
each year. They however propose to
next year extend from point Is
miles west of Colfax to the latter place
If the surveys will admit of the con-
struction, and thence northeast, sothat
Colfax will be the nearest point of that
road from the Genesee and Potlatch
country while the junction of Snake
and Clearwater rivers is much near
or sdistsnce. This determination Of
tho company is highly favorable for
the business of Lewiston, provided the
lewiston people take advantage of it
and make such provisions that the peo-
pie Of Genesee and Potlatch can come
here and deliver their products and do
their general trading business cheaper
than to go to Colfax. Otherwise they
viii surely drift towards Colfax, and
'.don't you forget" the fact. There is
another reason which no doubt inAu-
ences the company in this determine
ton and that is. They contemplate
the construction of road on the south
side OF Snake river either to the mouth
OF the Assotin or to the west bank of
the river opposite Lewiston, and either
this company or some other will con,
struct another road still further epst to
Camas Prairie. If the o. r.. a. N. Co.
deem it advisable to go to the mouth
Of the Assotin, then in all probability
the Camaa Prairie road will have it's
western terminus at point en- the
Snake river nearly opposite to the As.
sotin, taking Tammany Hollow as their
route, which will be in easier proximity
to the most Of the country between
this and Craigs mountain than will
Lewiston itself, and cut off Lewiston
from nearly oil the trade she now has
from points south and east of this place
We have no definite knowledge Of
what is being projected, but our sds-
picions are such, that we predict that
such roads will be builtsooner than the
town will be ''struck by lightning"
There arc sufficient signs above the
horizon. that can be readily visible to
him who will watch for them, to urge
upon the business men of Lewiston to
cast about themselves and make great
or exertions than they ever have made
to save the town from still greater d.
lapidation than she now exhibits.
