Herman Hutter and Charles Whit

and accompanied by deerhound,
the other day went up the Rattle
snake river in quest of game. They
cl;med the mountain to the left OF the
stream and separated, taking oppo-
site sides of the ridge, in the hopes
Of logging a deer. Whitman came
down the Rattlesnake side, and soon
after separating from his companion,
he slipped and fell, sliding some two
hundred feet down the mountain side
He vainly endeavored to stop himself
by digging into the snow with hi:
hands and feet, and clutehing a
brush and saplings, till just as he wa
about to be precipitated over tn
cliff into the Rattlesnake, som
fsrtv feet below, he clasped
strong sapplins with one hand
and was left dangling III the air owe
the precipice. By strong effort h
elasped the sapling with his arm j

DIVISION.

Without doubt the question Of
division will be settled the coming
winter. It is consummation
devoutedly to be wished" but we
must not forget the fact that with
the admission of new territories in.
to the sisterhood Of states come re.
sponsibilities that demand the clos.
est attention Of those who consider
the public welfare rather than per-
sonal aims. There are many inter.
ests that will require immediate at.
tention, and due consideration
should be given to our school lands
to guard against their being squan.
dered in the interests of the politi-
cal buzzards who are sure to be seen
lowering around at such times. It
is we'll for Northern Dakota that
the question of her admission will
be deferred, for with an example of
the Pembina Court House steal and
other measures fresh in our mind,
we feel it would be beneficial to the
territory to wait few years before
we be admitted. We do not envy
Southern Dakota her prospects but
hope her statesmen will bnild on a
broad basis, so that in the future
their memories will be revered. A
chance is presented to her repre-.
sentative men that will occur but
once in lifetime, and they will
have an opportunity to leave their
impress on the pages of history, and
it will be in their own hands wheth.
er it shall be a creditable one or
otherwise.

ANOTHER MARTYR.

Throughout the land there is sor-
row to-day. The life-spark has
gone from James Abraham Garfield
and his name is placed with Lin
coins s in the history of our nations
martyrs.
In the township of Orange, Guy.
ahoga, Co., Ohio, ON Nov. 10, 1881,
was born the farmers boy, who,
fatherless, fought adversely on the
farm, on the canal, in scool, in col
lege triumphing over great obsta.
cles, winning the commentator of
his mother, the respect of his asso-
ciates, the aid of his numerous
friends and associates and the admi.
ration Of all who knew him in his
onward march to receive the homage
of the people. AS scholar, teach
er and professor, as President of
Hiram College, as legislator, soldier
and General as Representative in
Congress and as President of the
United States his active career has
been one of devoted, studious work
and he has stood in the front rank
of statesmen in the Republic which
will, while it exists, feel the good
effects of his wonderful efforts.
At the Republican Convention in
Chicago, June 8, 1880, James A.
Garfield was nominated to the high
est office in America. This NOM
ination was not only enthusiastical-
ly received, but he was triumphant
ly elected and took the Presidential
chair under, to say the least, high
ly auspicious circumstances.
Meeting the spectre, "Bosssim,"
he speedily overthrow it, emanci-
pating the American people from
its deadly influence. The conflict
was not without danger, however,
and Charles Guiteau, carrying out
a demoniac purpose, on the I'd of
July, 1881, deliberately shot down
President Garfield, one of the best
men that ever entered American
politics. Many have remarked tn e
wonderful fortitude with which his
bore the terrible sufferings during
the time he fingered with us. He
tenacious hold upon life was largely
due to his vigorous constitution
and indomitable courage. Long
will the 10Th Of Sept, 1ss1-the
day of his dcath-be remembered
by the people far and near and
their prayer will ever be:
"That God may bless and prosper his
widow and orphans :" and
"That God may have mercy on his as

NOT so BAD.

NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD }
OFFICE, St. Paul, Sept. 16. !
Ed. ARGUs-A paragraph in the
Argus of Sept. 10th, under the cap.
tion, "A Comfortable Delusion," is
calculated to convey a very errone.
Gus impression.
1t was not the intention of the
management of the Northern Pa
citic railroad to refuse to supply set
tiers with fuel, but only to induce
them to look ahead and provide in
advance what would probably be
required during the coming winter.
If no estimates should be given
in advance it might be impossible
for the railroad to procure and for
ward fuel supplies, particularly if
the road should be obstructed by
snow blockades, and the closing
paragraph Of the circular should
have been sufficient to indicate very
clearly what was the intention.
Wood in Minnesota will become
more scarce and dear from year to
year and settlers should be encour-
aged to substitute coal 50 far as prac-
ticable, and still better to plant
trees for future supplies on the prai.
ries.
The present management of the
Northern Pacific railroad will not
be found wanting in extending to
the public and especially to settlers
Oh the prairies all reasonable and
proper facilities and accommoda-
tons, but those who are too impro-
vident to look ahead and lay in sup
plies for the winter should not CEN
sure the railroad company if in
times of trouble it should be found
impossible to give immediate relief
upon calls for aid. Very truly
yours, ii. HAUPT,
General Manager.

A Nub for eastern Farmers,


The growth of corn crop in this
portion of Dakota has been surpris-
ingly rapid and the excellent condi.
ton of that product together with
the heavy yield, must give to south
ern Dakota a place among the best
corn growing states of the west.
While the crop has been about fail.
ure in other localities, it has here
grown almost to maturity without a
set back. When 1t is considered
that six weeks will almost make q
corn crop in this country it hardly
seems possible to limit the range of
its production. The present season
was a backward one. A late spring
found us with a cold, damp soil diff:
ficult to plow and an unfit recep-
tacle for seed. Consequently the
planting was late and as far into the
summer as the 4th of July there was
no promise of yield. But from about
that time to the present the crop has
come forward so rapidly that the rip.
ening ears are almost out of the way
of frost. 1t has become q matter of
history that with our quick soil and
the favorable weather which prevails
during that period, the corn crop
of southern Dakota will grow and
mature during the months of July
and August. And this growth is not
sickly, scanty one. Upon the bot
tom lands it 10 no uncommon occur
renee for corn to attains height OF
twelve and thirteen feet, though we
do not know that this gigantic
growth Of stalk procures any better
yield Of grain than that found upon
the uplands.-Press and Dakotaian.

Collapsed.

The jamestown Herald is dead. Like
Prof: Kings great air castle it has COL
lapsed. 1t has gone to add another notch
to the great defunct newspaper tally
board. Like the u sophisticated gosllng
that tackles stronger piece of grass than
1t can bite of, it has only succeeded in
upsetting its own carcass and leaving its
mark in the ground. What goose!
Those who advised Mr.. Ertsl to start the
Herald, assuring him that they would
stand by him in the hour ct sdversity as
we'll as in the hour Of prosperity, must feel
highly ashamed Of themselves about this
season of the year. Through influence
and advise, one of the kindest of men has
made what is generally regarded a. sad
failure. The responsibility OF which, we
are happy to say, is placed at the door sf
the guilty parties, and when they want to
start another nswspapes just to spite some
one We hope it will be remembered.

The Division Question.

mere Is llO llllSCaklIlS Cuc Sci!cl hI
sentiment of the people Of Dakota on
the long-agitatpd question of terrific
rial division. However they may
have differed heretofore, they are
unanimously agreed in favor Of par
tition now. However divided on di-
vision they may have been, they are
now united against union. The eprin-
cipal trouble is to get an authoritative
expression of their opinion, and to
inaugurate in proper form Il practical
movement to secure the division of
the territory.
An important meeting Of promi-
nent gentlemen from various widely
separated portions of the territory
was held at the Continental hotel in
this city yesterday, to consider the
subject, and if possible devise some
feasible method ofcarrying into effect
what has become the universal desire
of Dakota people, regardless of Sec
tion or party atfiliation. After a long,
free and animated discussion of the
question in all its phases, this resolu-
ton was adopted:
Resolved, that the chairman ofthe
political committees in the territory
be invited to meet the governor at
the executive Office in Yankton, on
Thursday, Sept. %, or at the earliest
practical day thereafter, for the pur.
puse of formulating call for holding
primary elections to be participated
in by all the legal voters in the va
tious organized counties for tho elec-
on by ballot of one delegate for each
organized county, and one additional
delegate for every one thousand in
habitants in counties having over
twelve hundred population, or some
other just basis Of representation;
also to fix the time and place for hold
ing a territorial convention of the
delegates duly elected at such prima-
ry1elections.
Said territorial convention to con.
slider the best and most equitable
plans for a division of the territory
and the future welfare of the people
in all sections.
Shortly after the adjournment of
the meeting this dispatch was re-
ceived, which is only one straw out
of 4 whole wheat field, to show the
interest Of the people in the move
ment:
HURON, D. T., Sept. 16, 1881.
To His Excellency Governor Ord
way, Secretary Hand, President
Walsh and others, Committee
of Arrangements for consultation
on questions of territorial divis.
ion, Fargo, D. T.:
The mayor and citizens of Huron
cordiallyinvite the calling of the pro-
posed convention at Huron, and ten.
der for its use q fine hall, capable of
seating 800, with commodious and
convenient committee rooms. Hotel
accommodations will be found ample
and will be supplemented by hearty
welcome to private houses.
Respectfully aud heartily yours,
T. ]. NICHOLS.
The division movement is now
started. Keep it going, and at once.
The chairmen ofthe territorial repub-
lican and democratic executive com.
mittees cannot act too promptly.
The people are ready now.

SIS 1t Worth The Struggle J"

A few weeks ago the President of this
nation lay upon his bed struggling for
life, and in despair he asked the question,
"1s it worth the struggle ?" How intense
must his sufferings have been to force such
an exclamation from the lips of one who
has combatted the elements of opposition
for life time. 1t is further proof that
in anticipation there is greater satisfaction
than in the realization. What privations
and self denials must boy experience
who starts out in life without education or
friends, and has in view the presidency of
of the United States. In the case of the
lamented president he had suffered the
contempt of those who consider it i'm
proper for a boy to try to rise beyond his
"sphere'; he had passed through Sc
we're struggle of four years. duration in
defence of the nation, participating in
many hard fought battle to sustain the
principles he advocated in private and in
public; he had reached the goal of his
ambition. He was President; had an in
teresting family, and heroic wife. 1t
would seem that all a man could desire
was his; but he has hardly had time to
enjoy the fruits of his aspirations before
he is laid low by an assassin's bullet, and
in agony of spirit cries out, els it worth
the struggle?" That question should go
home to many who to-day are in the midst
of plenty, enjoying the pleasures of hap
py home, and appear to have all that is
necessary to complete their cup of happi-
ness, but are led on in the race for posi-
ton and honor by an ignus fatuus that
may end in disappointment, unhappiness
and misery. The halo which surrounds
objects in distance is sure to lessen when
they are reached, and we hope that the
expression of our late President will be
well weighed by the American people,
and while we would not oppose any hon
orable aspirations we hope that they will
pause in the conflict for place and power
and ask themselves the question, els it
worth the struggle p
