with old neighbors and tried citizens. But
doubtless they come 90 the conclusion that
it is best, at least for them; and they are
the parties chiefly concerned. This is the
way all the western wilds have been
settled. Eaigrants from Illinois are better
able to handle the situation in the

the country as their fathers did. All wish
them success. and look hopefully to our

Murder on FeathestOne Prairie.

A man named Tampa was shot while
returning from Red Wing where he
had been with load of wheat for his
employer, a farmer living near White
Rock. The shooting took place in the
town of Featherstone, about six miles
from Red Wing, and it is said was done
by Harry Caldwell of Belle Creek town.
ship. The bullet entered just above
the left hip and was afterwards found
near the skin on the left side of the alb
domen and removed by DR.. Leininger
the attending physician. Tampa is
thought to be in very critical condi-
ton. The difficulty between the par
ties is said to be driving of one of the
party's wagon into the others, causing
hard words to ensue, followed by the
shooting; but, on the other hand, it is
stated that Tampa acted inoffensiyely
and that Caldwell, who had been drink
ing hard, and at various places in Red
Wing displayed 22-calibre revolver,
was the sole offender, and without
provocation discharged his revolver
in the back of his unsuspecting victim.
Cadwel has been arrested.

VOICE THE PRESS.

From the Litchfield News-Ledger.
The later Developments of the
North and South railroad are fiatter-
ing indeed. The surveyors have been
in the city during the past week and
have set the grade stakes between
Hutchinson and Litchfeld. A feature
that looks as though something was
going to be done right off, is that in
stead ofcontinuing on the line straight
north from this place, they made a
curve and run up the Manitoba line to
the depot. Mr.. Brown, the head man
of the survey stated, so we are in
formed, that the object of making such
survey was that the road would be
built from Hutchinson to this point
this fall, and will use the Manitoba
depot temporarily until the balance
of the road is completed.

Princeton Union: Will Cordiner
has returned from the Pacific slope
after an absence OF nearly three
months, during which time lie has
traversed all over northern California,
Oregon and Washington Territory.
Will says the country out there is fear
fully overrated, all kinds of business
is over-done and it is no place for
poor man to go to better his condition.
The cost of living is out Of all proper
ton to the wages paid, and only Jews
and Chinese thrive. On the train
that Will came east on there were
three car loads of emigrants from the
Willamette valley, Oregon, who came
back to settle in Dakota and Mime

choice Norman stock arrived here
last week for the Washburn farm.
The animals were imported direct
from France by Mr.. Washburn, and
are three year-old stallion weighing
1900 pounds, and two three-year old
mares, with colts by their sides. They
are splendid looking lot of animals.
Mr.. Fill, the manager of the farm,
feels warrantable pride in this new
acquisition. Mr.. w. also imported
pair of fancy carriage horses from
Paris. These are now in Minneapolis,
but are to be brought up to the farm
in the spring.

1t is said army officers are discuss
ing plans for compelling enlisted men
to save by having half their wages
held by the government until their
discharge. This would give man a
hansome little sum to so on p spree
with as soon as he is out of the service.
But if it would work well for the men,
why don't they discuss similar plans
for the benefit of the officers ? Re-
cent developments regarding poker
playing bigamy and such things in
dictate that no harm would he done if
parental government looked out for
the habits Of the officers as well as the
soldiers.

A Neat Fraud Detected.

An ingenious method of raising
figures on the new postal notes has
just been brought to the attention of
the postoffice department. The fraud
consists in punching from Il high
figure in the note piece of paper the
proper shape and size. to fill up hole
previously punched by the postmaster
through lower figure. The written
words or figures are then removed by
acids and the blanks filled in to cor
respond with the punched figures.
Some notes have been changed so
skillfully that it is very difficult to de-
tect the forgery.

The Annexation of Manitoba,

A writer i'll the. Washington Sunday
Herald has the following: II have
heard some interesting rumors from
Manitoba, which l shall only mention
because really do not know enough
of the matter to enter into full details,
and i'll did it would hardly be proper
for me to do so for obvious reasons.
The province has been settled by
English and Scotch emigrancs, with a
sprinkling from the states, but the
American contingent is now rapidly
increasing. / learn that there is
great dissatisfaction with the existing
condition Of things there, and strong
desire for change is noticed. The
The feeling has so grown that no
secret is made of Il sentiment in favor
of annexation to the United States
What has been done about itand how
far it has progressed, it's definite plan
and probable results are matters about
which I shall say nothing. I believe,
however, it is safe to state that the
movement will come to the surface
during the coming winter at the meet
ing of the Provincial legislature or
parliment, and its future will depend
very much on what is done there.
There has already been almost an
open rupture between the authorities
of Manitoba and those of the country
westward, and all this helps the
American or annexation party"

resignation last June the duties of the
superintendent have been performed
by III, C. Ives, the general managers
assistant. Mr.. Guthrie is at present
superintendent of this division of the
road. His new position covers more
territory, and commands a higher
salary than at present held by Mr..
Gutherie. Mr.. Guthrie has been
superintendent of the Breckenridge
division for the past three years. He
was formerly conductor on the old
st. Paul & Pacific, subsequently pur-
chasing agent under the receiver of
the roads, and then train master. The
last position he held until his appoint
ment to lis present position. The
promotion of Mr.. Guthrie will leave
vacancy in the Breckenridge superin-
tendency, which will be filled by the
appointment to that post of William

local agent of the road in st. Paul. He
severed his connection with the
Omaha Sept. 16, 1882. The appoint
ments took effect Oct. 1, and were
officially announced last Friday. Mr..

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.-An eX-
plosion this evening at the California
Powder Works at Steges Station, the
scene of several recent disasters, re-

ling of 40 Chinese out of a working
force of AZ. One white man is repor-

The past week the first lot of hogs
ever marketed at Whapeton, in Rich
land county, from the flourishing
Michigan settlement, were sold and

We're fattened on oats and barley, and

not distant when this region will ship
hogs to market instead of importing

The New York Democratic conven-
ton Sept. q, nominated the following
ticket: Secretary of State, Isaac III.
Maynard; Comptroller, Alfred &. Cha
pin; State Treasurer. Robert A. Max
we'll; Attorney General, Dennis
O'Brien. The platform strongly en-
dorse Governor Cleveland, and the en-
tire proceedings of the convention are
said to bear the imprint of the fine
italian hand of the Gramercy mummy
even to the abundant recognition
given John Kelly and Tammany.
| Among the amendments to the
State constitution to be voted on this
fall is one providing for biennial cleo
tons, making the election of state
offices come at the same time as that
of Congressman, and thus avoiding
the annual firing up of the patriotic
heart and the attendant eXpence of
saving the country. The experiment
of biennial sessions of the Legislature
has been satisfactory thus far, and
| while there are objections to the pro-
posed change regarding elections they
are outweighed by the advantages to
be gained.
The groves and belts or friuges of
timber, as also the numerous lakes
and streams of southwestern Mime
sofa, led Mr.. J. n. Nicollet, who
made survey of the country in 1886, to
style this the "Undine region,n in
his report to the war department. He
says that the beauty of the scenery
suggested to him the description con-
tanned in that old German legend,
and hence his application of the name
of water nymph, the heorine of the
story, to this locality.
