By request OF several gentlemen, and

was addressed to the board of super
visors of the town of Princeton:
II will build the bridge at Sadley's
mill for eight hundred and sixty dollars
according to "Old lngeana's" specifica-

There will not he money enough of
bridge fund or land road fund to pay for
bridge when finished.

be awarded to me. G. FL R.
P.S. S. Build good bridge.

for sake of having an old rickety bridge
built: for Illustration, take the East
Branch and bridge on Main street; our
county Jail and, more particularly, the
enclosure of said Jail: and our court
house. By the way, gentlemen of the
board of supervisors, hasn't some of the
old time boys got bridge to sell the

To a Degree Which Sums Up Five Dol

There's person in st. Paul who is
stricken with remorse, in installments of it,
as it we're. About two weeks ago Mr.. Olsen,
the Wabashaw street tailor, had occasion to
visit Third street store, and while there
pulled out his pocket book, left it or suose-
quently lost it on his way home. About one
hour and half thereafter Officer Lowell
picked the pocket-book up in the passage
way leading to the chief of police Office. Mr..
Olsen was Informed of the find, came to the
police headquarters, got his book, but found
$50 and gold ring gone.
This may be considered remorse install
ment No. 1.
Yesterday dose No. 2 reached MIR. Olsen
through the postofice in the following
shape:
Mr. Olsen:
One stormy or rainy night 1 picked up a
kind of pocket book with some papers In. 1t,
and some money and ring. l did not kno"

station and left it there. was poor and kept
the money, but am sorry and vii! pay you

nothing about it. send you the ring and five
dollars. MRS. W.
Presumably when remorse gnaws some
more Mrs. w. will forward another Install

believed Mrs. w. is known to the police, and
when visited she will not be found to be

DEPARTMENT OF DIKOTA.
The Troops Employed and Where They
Are.

The Troops Employed and Where They
Yesterday the January roster of troops
stationed in the department of Dakota was
issued from Gen. Terry's headquarters. The
following facts are gathered from the re-
port There are two regiments of cavalry
and eight of infantry on duty within the de-
partment. Of the cavalry the Second regi-
ment, General John W. Davidson
commanding, has its headquarters at
at Forts Ellis, Keogh and Assinniboine. The
Seventh cavalry, Gen. Sam D. Sturgis COM
manding, is quartered at Fort Meade, with
companies at Forts Yates, Totten and Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Of the infantry, the First regiment, Col.
VIM. r. Shafter commanding, is stationed
at Fort Randall. The Fifth infantry, all ten
companies, Gen. Nielsen Il. Miles in COM
mand, garrisons Fort Keogh, M. L. The
Third infantry: Col. w. r. Brooke COM
4nanding. has its headquarters at Fort Shaw,
M. T., and companies of the regiment are
detached at Forts Benton, Missoula, Ellis
and Logan. The Sixth regiments, Col. w.
B. Hazen, headquarters arc at Fort Buford,
with companies at Forts Lincoln and Steven
son. The Seventh regiment, Gen.
John Gibbon in command, garrisons
Fort Smelling, but has tive. companies absent
in the field in the Ute country of Colorado.
The Eleventh regiments headquarters, Col.
w. II. Wood commanding, are at Fort Sully,
d. T.; Forts Custer, Lincoln and Bennett are
also garrisoned by companies of this regi-
ment. The Seventeenth infantry's head
quarters are at Fort Yates, Lieut.. COL w. P.
Carlin in command; companies of this regi-
nent a-s also stationed at Forts Sisseton,
Totem, Pembina and Lincoln. The Eigh-
tenth is stationed at Fort Assinniboine, with
detachments at Forts Ellis, Shaw and Logan.
The colonel of this regiment, Gen. Roger, is
stationed st Helena in command of the dis
trict of Montana.
From the above it will be seen that one
quarter of the army is stationed in the de-
pariment of Dakota, garrisoning twenty two
forts or barracks. The most westerly is
Fort Ellis, in southwest Montana, and the
most easterly is Fort Smelling.
The administrative department of this
force, Gen. Terry's staff, consists of three
aides de camp and nine officers at the heads
of the different departments, quartermasters,
medical, ordinance, etc. Estimating each
company of infantry at forty men, liberal
allowance, the force numbers 5000, with q
cavalry complement of 1 ,440 men of the in
fantry regiments, the Fifth, is mounted.
70 command and discipline the 4,640 soldiers
stationed in the department. the service Of
eighty cavalry and 297 infantry officers, be-
sides an odd lot of staff officers of the
medical, quartermaster and pay departments,
roughly reckened at sixty, making grand
total, including Gen. Terry's staff, of 4s9
officers on duty in the department of Dakota.

HELLT'S IMPUDENCE,

The Kelly crowd of political disturbers
have been holding conference at Albany,
and have adopted series of resolutions of
rather singular nature. These resolutions
recite the self-evident fact that the last Cleo
ton demonstrated that the Democratic
party, if united, is in a majority in the State,
and proceeds to declare that it can only be-
come united by avoiding the causes which
led to the division at that time. This is
claimed to be blow aimed at Mr.. Tilden,
yet to those conversant with the facts it will
appear that he chief cause of the division
was not Mr.. Tilden but Mr.. Kelly. Mr..
Tilden was not candidate for election, but
he chose to support the regular nominee of
the party for governor. This was construed
by the Kelly gang as an assault upon what
they regard as their inalienabls right-the
privilege of debating the nominations of the
party-and hence they opposed his election
and succeeded in helping the Republican
party into power-an act of party treason
that should forever bar them from inter
course with honest Democrats or utilization
with the party.
