Owed Him One.

Quite an interesting wedding was
celebrated at the Atlantic Hotel last
night, Some time ago Thomas Lus
ter, necessarily very bright young
man, fell desperately in love with Miss
Margaret Rice. Miss Rice was the
divorced wife of man named Hen
ry Robertson, but that made no diff
ference with the ardent lover. The
charms OF the young woman had
made the hair stand sentimentally on
the head of Mr.. Luster, the brilliant
As Poe insited, he slowed with a
love that was more than love" How
such love can be bestowed is some
thing that a newspaper man hasn't
time to investigate, but as he hasn't
time to question such emotional des-
peration, he must simply allow Mr..
Poe, who is dead and therefore can
not defend himself, to remain mas
ter of the heart moving situation.
The ceremony was performed by
Justice Pears The bridegroom was
nervous Robertson, the former hus-
band, had followed the couple. The
bridegroom had reasons to believe
that Robertson, as the divorced hus-
band of the bride, meditated revenge,
The bridegroom trembled The
bride shook A doctor who was
present thought that she had chill.
After the ceremony the divorced hus-
band approached the bridegroom and
said:

Possible admission.


Major Edwards, of the Fargo Ar
gus, adds POSTSCRIPT to business
letter to the Press and Ddkotaidn in
which he says:
After the division bill had become
a fixed fact we were pusuaded to let
it go by the board with definite
promise from thecommittee of seven,
who are now managing the legisla.
ton in the house, that admission
would be made a party mersure and
the bill creating tht, state of Dakota
passed within the next two or three
weeks. / am Of the opinion that ad-
mission will be accomplished this
session.
The statement o. Major Edwards.
who is just from Washington, gives
the admission movement new as
pect. 1t must be that the com
mittee feels confident that it can
pass the admission bill (which also
provides for the creation of the ter
ritory Of North Dakota else it would
not urge that the separate division
bill be dropped. And the committee
of citizens from northern Dakota
were willing to accept this arrange
ment, which makes it apparent that
they too have faith in the passage of
the admission bill. The movement
does not appear to be dead.

Dilatory Lovers

The impatience of tho parents of
the young lady over the long and
fruitless visits of the chronic caller
was pictured in comic colors some
years ago by funny writer. It seems
that it was midnight The young
man had farewelled himself out, and
Emiline had locked the door and
was untying her shoe when her moth
er came down stairs with a bed d-quilt
around her, and said:
Wanted to creep up stairs without
my hearing you, Ell! Didn't think
knew it was an hour after midnight,
did you?"
The girl made no reply, and the
mother continued:
did he propose this timer
'Why, mother y exclaimed the
daughter.
"You can why mother all you
want to, but don't / know he has been
coming here for the last yearg Don't
/ know that you have burned at least
four tons of coal counting around
here!
The girl got her shoes off, and the
mother stood in the stair door and
asked:
"Emeline, have you got any grits
Il guess So"
Il guess you haven't. just wish
that fellow with false teeth and a
mole ON his chin would come spark
ing me. Do you know what would
happen, ErneiineFl
"No."
swell, I'll tell you. He'd come to
time in sixty days or he'd get out Of
this mansion like goat jumping for
sunfower seeds"
And Emeline went to bed hugging
this thought to her bosom.
Occasionally such visits became so
burdensome that the young lady talks
to the young man herself. At least
they had such girl out in Colorado.
She had been receiving the attentions
of a young man for about year, but
becoming impatient at his failure to
bring mothers to crisis, she resolved
to ascertain his intentions. When he
next called she took him gently by
the ear, led him to seat, and said:
''Nobby, you've been foolin' round
this claim fur mighty near year, an
hey never yit shot off your mouth on
the marryin' biz. I've cottoned to yer
on the square clear through, an hev
stood off every other galoot that has
tried to chip in; an now / want yer
to come down to business or leave

an want pard that'll stick right to
We till ye pass yer checks an the good
Lord calls ye over the ranch, Just

A New Indian Policy.

a Washington telegram states that
the first move towards the inaugurs-
ton of new Indian policy on the
part of the present administration is
now being made by Secretary Teller.
He proposes to make changes at the
Indian agencies, and the present in
cumbents seem to be aware of the
fact, for numerous letters haze been
received at Washington by those sup
posed to be in authority from parties
holding posts asking that aid be ex-
tended them towards their retention.
The Secretary will appoint men to
these places without regard to their
'creed or church." but business men
who are free from vice and dissipa-
ton. The secretary has already Sc
lected three members for appoint
ment by the president to the Ute
commission. They are men who are
familiar with Teller's ideas on the
Ute question and no doubt will dis
pose of the work that remains undone
to the entire satisfaction of the gov
ernment The selections made are
Henry Page, former agent of the
Ute Indians; jackson Orr, formerly
of Iowa, and Colonel Joseph Gard
ner OF Gardner of the same state.

A Typical American.

In recent address before the Chi
cago Historical Society, Hon. Isaac
N. Arnold related the following char
acteristic incident of the late William
H. Ogden;
Irecall an incident which illustrates
Ogden's energy, and is characteristic
On one ocdasion, in conversation
with lady, who, born to affluence,
was reduced to poverty, and who was
iasking his advice how her inexper-
enccd sons and daughters could earn
a livelihood, TO the question: "What
can they dor he replied: IF / was in
the position of your sons, il could
do nothing better, l would hire my,
self out to dig potatoes with fingers,
and when l had earned enough to
buy a hoe 1 would dig with il, and so
l would climb up. II your sons are
healthy and willing to work they will
find enough to do, and if they cannot
begin st the top let them beginat the
bottom, and very likely they will be
all the better for it. l was born close to
a sawmill, was early left an orphan,
christened in mill pond, graduated
at log school house, and at four

The Tale.RAarer

The tale bearer is of great an
tiquary. He lived in the days Of
Moses, and was strictly forbidden to
continue his evil practice in these
words: Thou shalt not go up and
down as tale bearer among thy peo-
Pile" He lived in the days of David
and was spoken of as one whose ton
que devised mischief like sharp
razor, working deceitfully; one who
loved evil more than good, and lying
rather than to speak righteousness.
He lived in the days Of Solomon and
carried on his contemplate business,
revealing secrets, sowing strife and
separating friends. He lived in the
days of the apostles, and his slander-
Gus tongue was mentioned as an un-
ruly member full of deadly poison.
He still lives, and his evil work may
be seen and felt in every village and
hamlet, and even in the church,
where he has sown discord among the
brethren. 1t behooves us to look out
for this person, for his tongue is like
a sharp sword, inficting wounds that
are hard to heal. A very little word
thoughtlessly spoken, may be shaped
and sharpened by tale bearers until
it will wound the hearts Of yom best
friends. Beware of him that comes
to You with sianderous reports about
your neighbor. for he may speak the
same about yop, for il he knows any
thing that will create mischief, that
will destroy peace and kindle the fire
of contention, he rests not until il is
revealed. The tale-bearer bas always
boon an effective agent in the hands
of the devil to carry on his work. In
fact he could not carry it on without
him, for where there is no fuel the
fire goes out, so where there is no
tale bearer the strife will cease.
Happy will be the time when the tale
bearer shall find better business, and
joyful the day when his voice shall
no longer be heard in the land.

Seed Corn.

Several of our exchanges are urg
ing upon our farmers the Importance
of having good seed corn, and the
Capital joins them in calling the par
ticular attention of every farmer TO
this matter. We do not believe that
there is better corn country in the
northwest than the jim valley and
from all we can hear the farmers of
Davidson county will plant large
acreage. In order to make it profit
able the seed to be planted should be
care. III not already obtained it
should be secured at once, and OF the
best quality. Do not depend upon
seed corn that has not been selected
and saved by those who understand
how to do it. DO not purchase corn
for seed that has been in the crib, OF
that has hung over Il grain bin. If
the seed is already on hand, let it be
assorted, and all imperfect ears re
jected Still keep it in a dry place on
the cob, until just before planting
time. Do not fail To attend to the
seed corn.
1t is evident that much more atten-
ton is to be given TO corn this year
than ever before. 1t may be well
therefore to refer to some of the ad-
vantages and disadvantages of corn
as crop. The objections are mainly
temporary and viii soon be overcome
after the farmers generally go into
the business OF raising it. The first
objection is that q great many farmers
do not understand the business, and
with poor seed, shallow plowing,
gophers and poor cultivation, they
will be liable to get poor crops on the
start The only other objection to
raising corn on large scale is the
lack of hogs to eat up the crops. On
the other hand the advantages are
many. 1t is is one OF the surest crops
that can be raised here. 1t requires
no costly machinery, and the cost OF
the seed is very small. Ii can be
planted, cultivated and husked at
times when there is little other work
to do. The product therefore repre-
sents very little except the labor OF
the farmer. The cultivation of the
corn puts the ground in first class
shape for raising crop OF wheat

A Horrible Burning

A Frederick correspondent Of the
Aberdeen Pioneer gives the particu-
lars of distressing affair at that
place: On Thursday last, Miss Girls
sy Cook, servant in the employ Of
DIR. Bergoff, fell asleep while sitting
in chair near the stove, and was
awakened by the flames from her
clothing. She made desperate efforts
to divest herself OF her burning
clothes, but did not succeed until she
had been dangerously burned. The
flesh dropped off in large pieces from
her body. Her screams attracted the
attention of DIR. and Mrs. Bergoff,
who were in the yard at the time
When they entered the house the
girl was in fearful state, her inner
garments being burned into her back.
The doctor did all that he could to
ease her suffering, and is now hope
full that she viii recover.

A Legend.


There was a dispute among three
maidens as to which had the most
beautiful hand. One sat by the
stream and dipped her hand into the
water and held it up; another pluck
ed Strawberries until the ends of her
fingers were pink, and another gath
cred violets until her hands were fra
grant An old, haggard woman pass
ing by asked; "Who will give me a
gift, fof ! am poori" All three de
MED her; but another who sat near,
unwashed in the stream, unstained
with fruit, unadorned with flowers,
gave her a little gift, and satisfied the
poor woman. And then she asked
them what was the dispute, and they
told, and lifted up before her their
beautiful hands. Beautiful indeed"
said she when she saw them. But
when they asked her which was the
most beautiful she said: 1t is not
the hand that is washed clean in the
brook: it is not the hand that is
tipped with red; it is not the hand
that is garlanded with the fragrant
flowers, but it is the hand that gives
to the poor which is the most beauti-
full"
As she said these words her
wrinkles fled, her staff was thrown
away, and she stood before them an
angel from heaven with authority to
decide the question in dispute.

and he will likely be brought to trial
ut the present session Of the court.
The grand jury paid Gov. Ordway a
neat compliment, and at the same

the close OF their labors, and to ex
press unofficially their respect for
him.
