Los. and Probably Frozen,


There is now scarcely doubt of the
unfortunate fate of Mr.. Welch, the tailor
who has been for some time in the EN-.
ploy of Turner & Townsend in this city.
He went to his claim out some miles
south of Alsop and was lost on his way
from the shack to that station, where he
intended to take the train for this place
a week ago Yesterday. The man who
accompanied him part of the way turn
ed to the west about two and half miles
south of the station and went to
Medina, where he arrived all right.
The snow was blowing briskly when
they separated and Welch complain.
ed of being very tired, but proceeded
on his way. One of the party oi
several who we're searching for him yes.
terday was in town last night and in.
formed the Alert that they had found
his tracks about two miles south of Alison
which they followed until lost in .
marsh where the snow had drifted 30
that the tracks could no longer be fol.
lowed. His tracks showed that he was
then going south, which indicated that
he was lost and wandering he knew not
where. His steps were very short, as ii
80 weary that he could hardly put one
foot before the other. The party yester.
day made diligent search in the marsh
but the snow vas drifted in to consider.
able depth and they failed to find him
though they have no doubt the body ol
the unfortunate man is covered up by
the snow.

On the face Of the returns it is appar.
ant that the settlement of the railroad
troubles sustsins the so-called territorial
claims of the various companies. They
are each prohibited by their own action
from intruding upon territory claimed
by any particular company in the com
bination. Under this arrangement g
town which has but ono railroad is NOT
liable to secure another. The scheme is
not conducive to development of the
country and places the people more com
pletely than ever within the grasp O
monopolies. The anti-monopoly feature
of the late Nebraska political campaign
is liable to extend into adjoining states
and territories.

Recent developments render it certain
that the democratic party is in favor of
civil service reform only in times when
the republican party is in power. The
success of democracy at last falls cleo
tions emboldens them to hope for success
at the next presidential contest and
they have not only dropped the cry for
reformation of the civil service, but
have manifested symptoms of general
opposition to it. The Pendleton bill
was up for discussion in the
United States senate the othel
day and Mr.. Brown, O
Georgia, gave away the democratic sen
timent in the following remarks:
For more than twenty years the vast, patron
age of the government has been in the hands O.
the republicans. The democrats have scarcel.

Offices to the democrats, it will be proper TIM
to consider and act upon civil service reform.

indefinite postponement of the subject

the democratic majorities are SO larg'

Some Of the Splendid Horses xnd Carriages
He Uses on Various Occasions.
Washington Cor. Philadelphia Times.
The president has in the stable eight
horses, four of them bays. which he uses
separately in pairs or single harness or
all four together when attached to the
landau. By the way, there was one
perfectly happy individual in Washing
ton last summer when the president de.
cided to have four horses driven to his
carriage-Albert the colored coachman
who had enjoyed the bliss of driving a
four.in-hand when Gen. Grant was
president, and who esteemed that exper.
fence the proudest recollection of his
life. He has been head coachman at the
White House continuously since that
time, and often and in vain besought
President Hayes to set up a four-in-
hand for his family. The president has
. riding horse, sorrel, named Coquette; !;
his son has one, bay, and little Miss
Nellie has that which belonged to and
was ridden by her dead mother, very
gentle and not old-looking black horse
| which she rides we'll. This one is named
Sallie Howe. The presidents secretary
also has riding horse, which is kept in
this stable, and he and the president's
son each have buggy for single or dou.
BILE harness, in which only two persons
can ride. The pair driven by Mr.. Altar
Arthur are respectively named Hero and
Olga. Each horses name is above his
stall.
In all there are thirteen horses in the
stable, five of which are government,
property and are used only on the
grounds, or for mounted messengers OF
attached to the Office carriage, plain
close vehicle with seats for four, usec
when the presidents secretary or one O
the clerks must be sent q distance OF
Office business. The presidents newest
conveyance is very elegant eight-sprins

panel of the carriage appears his coat-of
arms, which shows a shield with re,
field and color devices thereon, with al
eagle above. The motto is "Impelle Oh
stantia."

Affairs in the fifth legislative district,
composed Of the counties of Deuel., Cod
ington, Clark Brown. Day, Grant. Sphinx
and Hamlin, are considerably mixed,
and there will be first-class contest be.
fore the next legislature. Soon after the
Legislative convention met at Watertown
and placed in nomination McCauley, of
Sphinx, Lamb, of Clark, and Phillips, Of
Codington, another convention Was call
ed and nominated Donaldson, of Codlng-
ton, Hauser, OF. Brown, and Schafer, Of
Grant. A warm campaign then ensued,
and at the final roundup it was
difficult to tell who had won.
When the canvassing board, composed
OF the county clerks in the district met
at Galy. all were present except Mr..
College, of Sphinx. In Sphinx county, it
appears that the largest vote was cast
for the first ticket, and without that
county the latter ticket had clear vic
tory. Due notice, it is claimed, was
given Mr.. College of the meeting to can
vass the votes, and the clerks present
went right to work and counted the votes
and issued certificates. viz: To Donald.
son, Hauser and Schafer. The Ger.
tificates OF election are signed by
Bowman. of Deuel.; Eastman, of
Grant; Mckenzie, of Brown; Hoyt, of
Hamlin; the clerk of Day county, aud
Williams, of CLARK, making six out of
the eight in the district. w. w. Spicer,
clerk of Codington, was the only clerk
present refusing to sign the certiicstes.
Three DAYS after the meeting mentioned,
Spicer, College and Williams (the latter
having already signed one set Of GER
ti6cates) met at Gary, canvassed the
votes and issued certificates to McCauley,
Lamb and Phillips. just which wing of
that double header will be able to even.
tually retain their seats is difficult to tell,
though those possessing the first certifi.
Gates will probably take their seats at
the start. It is matter for the legisIa-
ture to decide and it brings two contests
in the house and one in the council.

The Odessa Organization.

Special Correspondence Of the Pioneer Press.
Grand Forks, Oak, Dec. 1l-Interest
in the Odessa town site is intensifying
with time. The company has fitted up
a fine office in the Citizens National
bank building and will organize on Wed.
nesday, it is understood. As some of the
leading capitalists and town site opera
tors in the northwest are interested in
this movement, considerable interest is
taken in the organization. 1t is believed
here also that some prominent Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and Iowa business men
are interested in the town site. Certain
it is that great preparations are being
made to boom the town aud the Devil's s
Lake and Turtle Mountain country,
which, as everybody must know by this
time, is unparalleled as to resource,
and has already experienced
. phenomenal development. The
future OF Odessa seems assured by the
strength Of its situation, rs Col. Towner

tion, and by the character OF the men
Who have it in charge. 1t is to the in.
domitable enesgy of such men as arc the

Grand Forks and Grafton are the leading
towns in this favored section of north
Dakota. That they have sent the power

Odessa will be all that is claimed for it.
