DAKOTA In WASHINGTON.
An Enthusiastic Meeting at Sioux
Falls. One Hundred Delegates
To Go to Washington.

The convention at Sioux Falls yesterday
was called to order by b. W. Caldwell OF
the Panta graph, Ex-Governor Edmunds
was chosen President and a. Williamson
Secretay.
On motion eff Gen. Beadle, all members
of the press were invited to take seats at
the table as assistant secretaries.
VIM. NJ. Cuppett moved that COM
mittee consisting of one from each county
be appointed by the chair to report names
to be presented as delegates to Washing
ton. The motion, after some discussion
as to the proper manner of selecting dele
gates was carried, and chairman Of each
delegation presented name for member
ship of the committee. The call was
read by the Secretary. On motion of Mr..
Free, a committee of one from each county
was appointed on resolutions.
The convention then adjourned until
half past two in the afternoon.
At the appointed hour the convention
was called to order by the President, and
beautiful prayer was rendered by min
lister from Mitchell.
The committee on delegates reported
through their chairman j. R. Gamble.
From Lincoln county the delegates select
ed were 0. S. Clifford, j. w. Carter, R.
A. Gale and j. W. Taylor. During the
interim while waiting for the committee on
resolutions to report, Bartlett Tripp ad-
dressed the convention upon the topics for
consideration.
The resolutions asreported warmly en-
dorsed the actions Of Delegate Pettigrew
and when presented received the unani-
nous approval Of the convention. This
virtually ended the business of the con-
vention which adjourned sine die, with
three cheers, proposed by Gen. Beadle,
for the State. A remarkable feature of the
convention was unanimity of feeling that
prevailed, democrats and republicans alike
participated and party feeling was suppress
sed.
Could those croakers, who prate about
the crude state of affairs in Dakota, and
who claim we are not prepared for State
mood, aye! could our Govenor Ordway
who has publicly stated our inability for
self maintenance, viewed that body Of
men composing that convention, their
thunder at least would be suppressed.
Let us all work, talk and act together
for the division and creation of the State
Of Dakota. We have got the elements in
soil, climate, attractions, brains and inher-
ent wealth for one Of the finest States in
the Union.

EDEN ITEMS.
An Interesting Batch Of News from
the SpristltIy town of Eden.

The improved appearance of the ADvo-
CATE was pleasant surprise to it's numer-
Gus readers in this vicinity. May it grow
and prosper
Court week has sent number of our
citizens to Canton. We trust they may
be preserved from contamination.
A large shipment of stock and hogs, 16
cars, was made from here last Monday by
Hartzell & Co. P. A. Overseth, one of
our wide-a-wake merchants, embraced
the opportunity of taking trip to Chica-
go On his way home he intends visiting
his old camping groung at La Crosse, Wis.
Eden is lawfully" dull this week, j.
H. Bridgman having left to attend court
at Canton.
Singing School under the efficient man
agement Of Prof. Davis is great success.
1t is seldom that in a town the size of
Eden so much musical talent is found.
The brass band under his management is
coming out in fine style. On Sunday the
Professor remained in town the guest of
Mr. and Mrs Mcbride, and in conse-
sequence the music in church on Sunday
was of very high order.
The enlargement of our church at an
early day will be necessary as it is crowded
each service, under the able minstration
of Rev. Mcbride. This gentlemen we un-
derstand has been offered parish in
western New York, but is, we believe,
contented with his charge.

CANTON'S NEW FLOUR MILL.
An Enterprise That Fills a Long Felt
Want in Running Order.

The reporter had pleasant task to
perform Tuesday, namely, the visiting of
our new Touring mill, just east of the
freight depot and alongside the railroad
track, said mill having started up little
less than two weeks ago AS could be
expected there are several things in and
about the mill that are not completed yet
but will be in few days. The reporter
was kindly received by Mr.. L. I. Hill,
the proprietor, and although very busy
was shown through the mill and allowed
to make thorough inspection
The engine room is 22x36. Here is
located al]:the machinery, drive wheel, etc.
A deep well furnishes the water forced up
by pump. Going up a flight of stairs
you enter the first floor, where two burrs
are revolving, elevators performing their
duty, one set elevating grain, another
ground feed, and SO on. Here are also
the -four bins, the cookie separator new
and important invention, smut machine,
etc. A horizontal shaft furnishes the
means Of elevating the grain to the second
story, and on entering the room, the
top floor, you are confronted with huge
bolting chest, reaching to the ceiling,
a shafton the end ofthis, with cogs every
four feet apart, turning bolt enclosed on
the inside, separating the flour from the
bran and middlings The mill is well
built and has the best and newest
machinery. We cannot give the modus
operandi of grinding -four, this week but
advise those interested to inspect for
themselves.
Mr.. Hill will shortly put in another
burr, when he will give his attention to
the grinding of feed The engine room,
as stated, is 22x36, and the mill proper
24x36, % foot posts. Hay is used as
fuel, Mr. Hill claiming it to be cheaper
and better than coal. He consumes
about two tons every twelve hours. Gus
tom grinding will be a specially and by
next week everything will be in smooth
running order. Mr.. Hill is pleasant
painstaking gentleman and miller, and
have no doubt that he will have all he can
attend to. This mill has filled long felt
want and will be benefit to Canton. Our
farmers will undoubtedly appreciate the
new enterprise and give it their hearty
support. We shall be anxious to sample
sack of Mr.. Hills best when we can
speak more intelligently.
