whauging of the alleged spirits. The
professor showed how a confederate could
| be introduced in the cabinet unseen and

Medium Mcguire also showed that there
are some remarkably fine performances
possible with the ropes without any agency
but muscular command and skill full prac-
tice.
The DEVILS Lake people protest that
there is no ground for the impression that
has gone abroad to the prejudice of that
young city as an orderly, moral and viz
tuous community. They claim that the
people will compare favorably with any
of the larger towns, and that no serious
crimes have ever been perpetrated there.
Gambling and intemperance are almost
unknown, and the leading men, Treadwell.
Hansbrough, Burdick and Barnes, set
their faces like fints against irreligious
actions of every nature.
1t is quite common notion that relief
is afforded in cases of very aggravating
accidents by volley of profanity. A few
days ago Dan. McCauley, in coming into
Grand Forks with load of hay had the
ill-luck to drive one wheel into deep rut
tipping the hay off into lot of brush.
Not an impatient or profane word escaped
him. He went patiently to work and in
few hours he had his load restored with
outthe fracture of any scriptural injunction
and his example was said to be worth
much to that community.
Taxes in Dakota are generally lighter
than in the states, and the people are
quite as nervous on the point as in the
Older sections. In Hand county Saturday
the people held a meeting at the county
seat to indignate and inquire about the
alleged high taxes. The local paper in
publishing the call signed by long list
of taxpayers says somewhat ru dely, ''the
commissioners have raised hi with the
taxpayers of Hand county," and that now
the taxpayers will raise hi with the COM
mlssioners"
Col Will l.. King, who has recently
started paper in the new town of Dun
bar IN the new county of Sargent, was an
old mountain ranger n Montana, and the
Livingston Tribune says that next Jack
Baronett he is, probably, the best posted
man on the country's Typographical feat
ures, having travelled over the entire terri
tory on horseback, and meeting with en-
counters with the Indians, which but for
his splendid courage and intrepid daring
would have resulted fatally, and now, after
all these hair breadth escapes, he has set
tied down to the peaceful avocation of cd.
itor, TOWNSHIP boomer and realty rustler.
jamestown has on its amusement calen-
dar James O'Neil's Comedy company Nov.
20 and 81, and Nov 26 the Catholic fair
will commence and continue all the week.
Sitting Bull is on the programme, and will
furnish his autograph for sale for the ben
eft of the church. No prophet could have
predicted such whirligig when he was
down in the Black Hills fighting the gov
ernment twenty years ago. Father
Stephan, who has him il charge, is one of
the grandest specimens of humanity that
the west affords, aside from his clerical re-
lations. He is a power for good, and has
the esteem and admiration of all denom-
inations.
The little town of Mayville, located on
part of the noted Grandiu farm, in the
fertile Goose river country, has very com.
plete and we'll arranged little opera house,
that will seat 500 people. This Grandin
farm was designed for stock farm and
has quite a lot OF blooded and fine animals,
Cotswold sheep, etc. One bull upon it
coSb 9t,OOO WneH week old; there
are 200 head of fine short horns and grades,
with some of the best equine stock. The
farm comprises $4,000 acres, of which 1000
we're in wheat this year, and yielded about
$4,000 bushels. The Grandins have dem
onstrated that north Dakota has many ad-
vantages for a stock country.
Rev. B. f. Cooley, the rector of the
Episcopal church in Fargo, who went east
with Col. Donan to attend the general
convention of the denomination at Phila-
delphia returned Monday. and in an inter
view states that Bishop Walker has accept
ed the position rendered him and will
come to his field of labor in January. The
conservation will take place on St. Thorn
as day. The question of his location, and
the cathedral and educational institutions
will remain open till after he looks the
field over. There will be active competi-
ton IN the matter between the leading
points. Grand Forks has already rendered
a building. Fargo is the largest town and
it is claimed that the railroads make it the
most accessible to all parts of the diocese,
but it should not be taken for granted that
it will be the favored point. The locality
that best deserves the prize by its exhibit
ton of enterprise and liberslity, other
things being reasonably favorable, will be
the fortunate one
