CLIFTON.

The county seat of Sully County. is
beautifully located upon the south bank
of the Okobojo---a never failing stream
Upon plateau just sloping enough to
afford an excellent drainage. Though
only a few weeks old, it is already of
the most importance of any place with
in radius of fifty miles, enjoying a
steady and permanent growth, and is
bound to have lively "boom as soon
as the dull season is over. Being sit
uated so near the Geographical Center
of so large and fine a county as Sully
and its seat of justice, it cannot be 9TH
erwise. The healthfulness of Clifton
and surrounding country must CON-
mend itself to everybody, and, in select
ing a location, those who take this
great desideratum into consideration
cannot do better in the whole West
than right here. Fine Government
Land can yet be secured near Clifton,

AFRAID OF BEING NosBEo
And Call fer the Protection Of the
Sheriff!

Messrs. Frost & Frost, the great pros
ecutors, connected with the late Clifton
Sun, must think that the people of this
community have very exalted opinion
of them, and, with that state of feeling,
we should think they would be very
anxious to resurrect the Sun or publish
a paper anywhere in Sully county, for
that matter. On Saturday, last, at the
examination before ID. d. Bryant, at
Carson, at which the Frost Bros. were
complainants and prosecutors, and T.
j. Nolan, Of Pierre, defendant, many
of the best people of Clifton, in fact
two-thirds of the town, visited Carson
during the afternoon and evening,
some drawn there rs witnesses and
some from curiosity, among whom may
be mentioned, Henry Potter, H. H.
Butts, S. ii. Neal, Jay Hoover, II. W.
Edgerton, w. p. Ross, John Blaisdell,
Andrew McFall, b. p. Hoover and the
editors of this paper. From some in
explicable reason, unless smitten with
"A consciousness of guilt from the man.
ner in which they had treated the peo-
pie, the Frosts conceived the idea that
the presence of the gentlemen above
named BODIED them no good; in fact,
that they were there to eject them from
Sully county soil or do them bodily in
jury, and an appeal was made to the
sheriff for his protection. Were our
people not so well known as quiet and
iaw-abiding citizens, this might be con-
strued as an imputation upon them;
but, in view of this fact, the existence
Of anything to give thought to the idea
of being mobbed must be sought for in
the guilty conscience of the mind con-
cerning it, for we are assured that moth
ing was more remote in the hearts of
those in attendance. If we could not
see ten or dozen of the people of this
community congregate together with
out the fear of being mobbed by them,
it is the last place on earth at which
wy should desire to publish paper.

Parents who have children to

winter with the assurance that we are
to have school. The Board has so
decided and are making the necessary
preparations.

Winter.

At a meeting of the newly elected

held at the WATcHMAS office on Tues
day, it was decided to have q four
months school in the village of Clifton
this winter, and as much longer as
may be deemed proper or necessary
and the Board are taking active meas
ures to secure a building and furnish it
for that purpose, choose textbooks
and take such other action as may be
to make the school a success.

SULLY COUNTY


SULLY COUNTY
Is situate on the east side of the Mis-
souri, river in the south central portion
Of Dakota, and is conceded by those
| who know to be the most beautiful
country in this great territory--a dis
tinction of which it may well be proud.
1t contains some 100000 acres of as
fine agricultural and grazing lands as
the the sun ever shone upon, only
awaiting the plowman and stock grow
ar to fill their pockets with easily made
wealth and their hearts with content.
THE SURFACE OF THE COUNTRY
Is beautiful to behold, just rolling
enough to afford an excellent drainage,
while the soil is deep vegetable
mould, very rich in the elements which
produce wheat, oats, corn, fax, etc, in
their highest perfection and greatest
abundance. While the past winter
was the most severe for years, it is an
absolute fact that much of the stock
run at large with neither food or shelf
er, other than that afforded by the
prairie and the canopy of heaven. Sui
ly county is
BETTER wATERED
Than many parts of the west, having
the Okobojo creek, Medicine creek,
Spring creek, Cow creek, the Arti-
choke, &c, beside its western boundary
being washed for some forty miles by
the mighty Missouri, with the great adj.
vantage of being in the rain belt of the
great Missouri Valley. Many wells of
good water are found, varying from
s to 30 feet.
HOW TO GET HERE.
To reach Clifton and Sully county;
buy your ticket and ship your freight
via the great Chicago and Northwest
ern halfway, the cheapest, quickest and
only direct route west from Chicago.
With prophetic vision this great COM
pany foresaw the future of Dakota and
are offering every facility to those
seeking homes among us. If your To-
cal agent cannot ticket you through,
get to Chicago the cheapest you can
where at 62 Clark street you can buy
cheap tickets clear through to Blunt or
Pierre without change of ears. This
accommodation alone is worth dollars,
particularly to the wife and children
who may be coming without an escort.
For information address the General
Passenger Agent, c. & N. w. Railway,

THE HOUSE.

This body held but two sessions yester-
day, owing to the banquet rendered by the
citizens of st. Paul at the Merchants, but
as the result shows, large amount of bust
ness was transacted.
rather strange proceeding was had
upon the bill introduced from the judiciary
committee, making gambling a felony
punishable by confinement in the peniten-
tiary for a period not less than six months,
nor more than five years. When the bill
was reached Tuesday in committee of the
whole, it was recommended to pass with
out opposition. When reached upon the
third reading yesterday, Mr.. Grimshaw, of
Hennepin, moved its indefinite postpone
ment, and upon division the motion was
carried by 56 votes in the affirmative, four
more than majority of full house.
During the morning session Mr.. Nj.
johnson, OF Kandiyohi, made an
unsuccessful effort to secure
permission to introduce a
bill authorizing the sale of the capitol
lands in that county, the proceeds to be
applied in paying for the present capitol
In support of the motion to receive the
bill, Mr.. Collins said the bill was copy OF
that passed by the house two years ago, but
which was defeated in the senate through
the opposition of the Kandiyohi delegation.
That delegation being now satisfied that
there was no hope of having any portion of
the lands set off for the benefit of Randi
yohi county, favored their being offered for
sale and opened up to settlement. The
house, however, refused to receive the bill,
only ffty-six voting to suspend the rules,
not the necessary two-thirds.

tons for the state and county agricultural
societies of the state was reached on first
reading in the house yesterday, an attempt

SENATE.

Two long sessions were held yesterday,
and with almost uninterrupted industry q
very large amount of business was trans
acted, most Of which was the passage of
bills. Among the more, importent passed
was the house bill appropriating money
for the general expenses of the state for
the remainder of the present year and for
the fiscal years of 1884 and 1885. There
were q few amendments, among which
was one cutting down the amount of clerk
hire and contingent for the public ex-
aminer.
The bill providing for proper commit
ments to the state reform school was
passed, as was also the bill prohibiting the
adulteration of food and drugs.
One of those pleasant incidents com
mon to the closing days of the Legislature
took place in the senate. United States
Senator-elect Sabin having been enticed
into the senate chamber, he was confronted
by Senator j. B. Gilfllan, who presented
him with a tastefully arranged group OF
the joint bodies, with well-chosen and APP
proPriate remarks. The new senator feel
ingly responded to the presentation speech
and thanked the donors for their cordial
feeling toward him.
Both bodies of the legislature, though
they hardly knew how to dispense with an
evening session, adjourned at 1870 so as to
accept the hospitallties of the chamber of
commerce.
The remaining time at the disposal OF
the solons will be devoted to saving what
they can of the measures which they have
set their hearts upon, but from present
appearances many of their cherished
schemes. will perish for want of time.

way of checking and controlling the LIQUOR
traffic could be hoped for at this session
he should vote for the bill.
Mr.. Grimshaw placed his negative vote
upon the ground that the penalties in the
bill were altogether too severe, and if
made law could not be enforced.
MIR. Hill. of Winona, agreed with the
gentleman from Faribault, Mr.. Cole, the
father of one of the high license bills before
the house, who iii his re-
marks against the prohibition bill
(readlng the remarks in question: had
said the present law was all that was nee
essary to roperly control the liquor traffic
the trouble being that it was not enforced
He should therefore vote no.
Mr.. JAS. Smith, Jr., said, beyond his OBJ
lection to the outrageously severe provis.
ions of the bill, he was opposed to it.
because it authorized the selling of LIQUOR
without license-the provision relating
to druggists making it possible for such
places to be made the dispensers of the
vilest kind of whisky without the payment
of any license whatever The bill intro
duced by his friend, Mr.. Cole, met his ap.
proval, and if brought up ne should vote
for it.
Mr.. Cole then renewed his former mo.
ton to suspend the rules and take up the
bill and put it on its passage.
Mr.. Hill objected, and upon division
the motion was lost.
Mr.. Collins then called for the yeas and
nays upon the motion, which were ordered
The vote resulted yeas 70, nays I6, so the
rules were suspended and the bill taken
up.
Mr.. Cole offered an amendment fixing
the license at not less than 500 in
towns and villages OF 1000 inhabitants
Mr.. Hill objected, whereupon MIR. Child
moved to so into committee of the whole
to consider the bill, which motion prevail.
ed. Mr.. Hill raised the point that the bill
only applied to the county.
Mr.. Cole answered that it had been
amended to cover the whole state.
Mr.. Hill said that was an infringement
of the chartered rights of cities and upon
the same principle every chartered right
of city could be legislated away.
Mr.. Cole said cities had no vested rights
and the legislature could, if it desired
leglslate away every city charter in the
state.
The amendments were concurred in and
the committee rose and reported the bill
tavorably, which recommendation was
adopted and the bill put upon its passage
the vote being yeas 81, nays 81; so the bill
passed by the following vote:

RESOLUTIONS.

Mr.. Hill, Winona, offered a resolution
appropriating $25 to each member for
postage.
Upon the suggestion of Mr.. Hicks the
resolution was amended, making the
amount so.
TIE resolution was opposed by Messrs.
Farrell and Merriam.
The resolution was lost yeas 10, nays -.
The resolution was then laid upon the
table ready to be called up if a favorable
occasion shall offer.
Mr.. Hartley offered resolution to pay
the clerks of the various committees, door
keepers, ETC., authorized by the house, the
same compensation for the session as paid
the assistant sergeant-at-arms.
Mr.. Hicks gave notice of debate, and
the resolution went over.
