THE OLD COURT HOUSE.

Stutsman county will soon have
a vacant building and the question
naturally arises, to what use will it
be put! 1t has been suggested, and
we think the suggestion good
one, that it be converted into a
school house for the benefit of the
primary department. and thus avoid
The necessity of building another
school house for some time to come.
While such disposition might be
considered by u majority as being
the W isest one that could be made,
we are of the opinion that the
building could be put to still bet
ter use and that by converting it
into an emmigration building. The
experience of many new corners
last season i'll trying to secure
temporary quarters, prove beyond a
doubt that something of the kind
i; recded for their accommodation.

A Pioneer Pcrss reporter recently

ment with reference to the fuel
question on the line Of the Northern
Pacific
Under the energetic supervision
of General Manager Haupt, and by
his orders, coal and wood have been
forwarded freely and to the extent

fall months. Gen. Haupt has been
strict in his orders that all wheat

wood for all parties in the prairie

there are nice stocks of coal, and
many of the stations on the Mime.
sofa division are supplied. In Da.
kotA there is still some deficit that
will soon be made good. An idea
of the work being done on the road
may be obtained from the statement
that 700 cars of coal have been for
warded, to date, since Oct. /, from
Duluth. 1t is true some of this
was for the conpany's use, but the
bulk was for the settlers. In the
same time nearly 250 cars of lumber
were hauled from one station, and
wood in proportionate amount with
the coal. One trouble has been the
lack of locomotives, but that will
soon be overcome. On the western
end of the road there are stores of
Ignite which can be burned in re-
gular coal stoves with good CRATE
surface but most Of the settlers
have wood stoves and have to be
supplied with that fuel. The Ignite
is now being used by one of the 10.
comotives of the road, and Of course
it can be used by coal stoves as we'll.
From all that has been thus far &C.

Similar Machines.
The raylor ls..A Cylinder.

We have delayed saying much concern
ing or new press Until such time as a
thorough trial should convince us that il
was entitled TO praise or condemnation
That time has arrived and We rise up and
say that we have naught but the former
to offer concerning it. Since' iss, arrival
we have not at all times tuynefout as
neatly printed paper as we could have
wished, but this has not been the fault Of
the press, but Of ourselves and poor set
of rollers We arc now making new roll
crs and Is soon as they arc ready we ex-
poet to present as nicely printed a paper.
as there is on the line of the n p. Il. r.
This press is made in Chicago by :. r.
Rounds, the well know furnisher Of prin-
ters' supplies, and can be purchased from
the Minnesota Type Foundry, st. Paul
sole agents for the Northwest, Itis known
to the trade as the Taylor Hand Cylinder.
There has l'ecn long felt want among
printers for cheap, simple and durable
cylinder press suitable for country use;
one which could be set up without the aid
OF man sent from the factory for the
purpose: press which would run easily
do good work and not be liable to get out
of order, and the Taylor Hand Cylinder
possesses all these properties. There are as
many different kinds Of printing presses as
there arc sewing machines, and the most
Of them are good ones, and VIC Iavn't a
disparaging word to say against them, but
none of them can compete with our press
in any Of tho points mentioned above. The
great idea Of tho inventor and manufact-
urcr seems TO have been TO use the dcsira-
bic features Of other press and al all times
to keep the great idea Of simplicity in
view. Our press is the first one scut out
from the factory, aud no one in this Office
had ever seen ono, and We had 10 chart or
diagram to 80 by and the different pieces
were not numbered, and no instructions
were sent with it, wc readily set it up and
on the first trial it worked without a stop.
We are not mechanic enough 10 give
minute description OF il and will only
say that it has an even distribution and
true impression, the two great requisite. of
all presses. We invite our friends to call
and sec it work, and to our contempora-
rics who are struggling with hand press
and debating about getting q cylinder
press, VIC would say don't wait any longer
but buy Taylor Hand Cylinder, Which
man can easily turn with one hand, and
boy six years old can feed. Yh. time
saved in its use will in a short time pay
the cost Of the machine and you will Won
der why you waited 20 long without it.
The old fashioned reaping OF grain with a
sickle and tho modern self hinder is a
good comparison between hand press
and this cylinder. We arc at present run
ming our press by hand but propose to at
tach steam in the spring 1t is with pleas
urc that We send out these words of an
proval in behalf of this press, and We will
cheerfqlly answer all enquiries concerning
it which may be seut US:

OK Saturday Governor Hoyt issued
a proclamation to the people of the
Commonwealth inviting them to as
semble "in their respective houses
of worship on Tuesday, September
9th. between the hours of 10 o'clock
A. NJ. and II o'clock noon, to unite
in public prayer and supplcation to
Almighty for the restoration Of
health and strength of the President
of the United States, and to invoke
the Divine aid and blessing upon the
nation and State" The people of
the whole State will be in accord with
the Governor in the propriety of call
ing the inhabitants to assemble for
such purpose, but the great mis-
fortune in the call is that it is upon
such short notice that a very large
majority of the people of the Com.
monwealth will never hear of it until
the day appointed for prayer has long
passed. The Governor has been
raised in community that is reached
by telegraph and railroad lines, where
every days general important trans,
actions are heard from all parts OF
the world, but the majority of peo.
pie have not such news facilities.
Hence they can never hear of the
Governors proclamation till days
after the day appointed for prayer
has passed.

A YOUNG farmer, living at Lebanon,
Conn, desired to go into the grocery
business. He had no money OF hls
own, but his wife had some money
He had been SO shiftless that she
feared to give him the money lest he
failed in the proposed enterprise
Her refusal to give him the money
enraged him, and he drove her from
the house. She fed to her father
home. The next day, September l,
he bought revolver and went with
it to the house of his mother-in-law
and, obtaining an interview with his
wife, he attempted to shoot her, but
fortunately the pistol did not go off
He then left the house, and when
short distance from it, drank poison
from a bottle, and deliberately Gu
his throat with knife, from the ef
fects of which he soon died. Wa
