Cufiee noticed, one Sunday morn,

he determined TO do the same Thing.
So he brought sheet of paper and

rapidly that all attempts to check it
proved vain. 1t next spread to Merritts

the fact that the adjoining building, "a
First National bank, was of brick, pro-
vented the further devastation. The loss
is estimated at from $4,000 to 100000.
The total insurance amounts to $4,000,
the bulk of it being in the Etna, Liverpool,
London and Globe, and Phoenix. The
block burned was one of the best in the
city. They were located on Main street,
the theatre being on the corner of Sixth

westward. 1t is a heavy loss to Miles

The Beginning.
Sioux Falls Press. |

Last Saturday Yankton county held a
mass convention for nominating seven del
egates for the constitutional convention.
which resulted in the selection of J. R.
Gamble, H. J. Campbell, Rev. Joseph
Ward, George Il. Hand, Bartlett Tripp,
Maris Taylor and G. j. B. Harris. There
were about 400 votes polled at the conven-
tion. The character of the men chosen by
Yankton county shows that her people are
determined to be represented by brains
and vigor, and they have set a pattern
which the other counties will do well to
follow. The following radical resolution
was unanimously passed:
"ReSOLUed, That it is the sense of the
people of Yankton county, and we so ad-
vertise the delegates to-day nominated,
that it is the unquestioned and lawful right
of the people of Dakota south of the
forty sixth parallel, to at once establish
for themselves a state constitution, and
state government, and that we recommend
the constitutional convention at Sioux
Falls to submit to the people for elec-
tlon, at the same time that the con
stitution is submitted, a full list of
offices for complete state government, a
state legislature, and representative in
congress-"

Magnificent Grain.
Bismarck Tribune 25. 4

Specimens of wheat and oats from the
Gilbert farm on Apple creek, three miles
south of the city, were brought in this
morning anu are now on exhibition at the
land office. They are the finest samples
of grain yet exhibited to the gaze of Bis
marckers, and those who live in the dis
tr1ct where they were grown say they are
fair samples of the entire crop of that
vicinity. The straws measure five feet
and the heads are large and we'll filled, the
color is rich, deep green and in every
particular it gives promise of an immense
yield. Farmer John Nichols was in town
this morning and asserted that he could
furnish finer samples even than the ones
mentioned and that his entire crop would
average as good as the grain on exhibition.
The general verdict of the farmers is that
the late rains have brought the growing
crops out of all danger of drouth, and if
they are favored with dry harvest weather,
the coming fall will be the most prosperous
season the country has yet experienced.

Btsnarck's Prosperity.

Bismarck Tribune, 25: The number of
people pouring into the city is beyond Gre
dulity. Every train brings train of anx-
ious mechanics, artisans and capitalists,
all of whom are looking for business loca-
tions, labor or desirable property. The
hotels are crowded daily and many of the
newcomers are settling down in the capi-
tai city. The great demand now is for
tenement houses, which are being built at
rapid rate, new cottages and dwelling
houses looming up in every portion of the
town. Gentlemen of experience in COM
mercial centers and in the building of i'm
portant towns are sanguine in their belief
that Bismarck is to be the great center of
all the northwestern commerce from Min
nesota into and beyond Montana, to the
provinces and south for hundreds of miles.
The real estate transfers are increasing
steadily, although work has not yet been
commenced on the capitol or any OF the
mammoth structures to be erected within
the next year, and when the 600 mechanics
necessary for the construction of these nu-
merous edifices arrive and begin work the
boom will be the greatest and most SUBJ
stantial in the history of the territory.

Crops are coming to the front famousIy
throughout the whole of north Dakota, as
we'll as the half of the territory which as
pires to statehood. Papers from all over
the country contain articles showing the
condition of the crops and the outlook for
yield of double last years is looked for.
The Grand Forks Herald says:
1t is universally conceded that the crop
prospects throughout the Red river valley
are at least fifty per cent. better than they
were ten days ago. The recent rains have
had marvellous effect upon the growing
grain and more than an average crop, say
fifteen to twenty bushels per acre, is now
confidently expected. There are of course
now and then field of wheat that was ir-
reparably damaged by the drouth, but
there are many more fields where
the seed was. sown early and we'll put
in, that have not been affected in
the least and will yield from 20 to So
bushels per acre. Wheat that was yellow
and withered ten days ago has regained it's
color and vigor, and its growth has been
perceptible from day to day and almost

The Boston Syndicate at Mamd0,s.
Mandan Pioneer. I

There can be no better evidence of con-
hdence in the success of any enterprise
than the fact that capital for conducting it
is readily obtained. Much more is this
the case when the capital is obtained from
distance. Mandan needs no surer evil
dence that people believe that there ia
some day to be great city here, than is
evinced by the fact that daily INQUIRIES ara
coming in from outside capitalists who
are deslrous of investing, but especially in
that many such have already placed their
money here.
Among these the Boston syndicate, rep
resenting, it is said, about $4,000, ,OOG, have
done as much to show their belief in Man
dams future, as any other, and the work
they have in hand is watched with an in
terest second to that given to no other en-
terprise in our city.
The syndicate commenced by buying
two quarter sections of land for which they
paid $35,000, and began Immediately to
improve it by building in the southwest
corner of their property a number of very
neat houses. Although not yet finished
these houses are already rented, and Mr..
Drew, the syndicate's secretary, is only
waiting for a plat of the ground to COM
plete the houses. They have also in con-
temptation horse car line and brick ward,
Indeed, according to a letter recently re-
ceived from Mr.. Burton, these are certain

the company's property, will traverse
Main street, for its full length. It is to be
managed by Messrs. Woodward & Pickner,
OF Minneapolis, and it is expected to be
ready for carrying passengers by Septem-

Quoted by the company, although they
would prefer leasing the privilege to
another party, agreeing to take all the
brick the yard is capable of producing for
some time, for the purpose of erecting ten
substantial brick houses. The necessary

cludes moulding machine of the latest

open for lease at any time, the terms of
which may be learned as soon as they ara
known at the company's Office.
Here also may be seen plans for roller
mill that is to be erected. The size of the
building may be judged from the fact that
1t is to turn out flour at the rate of $50
barrels day, which may be increased to
800 barrels. A thousand bushels of wheat

and in connection with it a $4,000 bushei

which there has been some talk of build
ing, will not be erected till it is ascertained
whether or not barley can be successfully

is building, for the purpose of avoiding
any possible danger in case of high water,

Divisiom and Adntissio,,.

Some days ago one of the st. Paul pa
pers discussed editorially the question of
division and admission of Dakota. The
only point made in dividing was on the
forty sixth parallel as that and the seventh
standard parallel are the only lines of
division which have ever been seriously
considered by the mass of Dakota people.
The ring politicians of north Dakota do
not want division at all. Those of south
Dakota, except Ordway, are very fast for
it, and the masses of the people in both
the north and south want division,
But the Mandan Pioneer, viewing w h
jealousy the capital bonors which are be-
ing assumed by her sister across the river
and being herself desirous of coming to
the front with desirable capital location
for possible West Dakota, says some
curious things and makes some rash ad-
missions:
What does it mean by talking about
admission of the southern half of Dako-
ia 7" Does it assume that the northern
half would be content to stand by and see
this? Surely the time has not come yet
for it to be necessary to talk about the
admission of that half of the territory.
while the north would be left out in the
cold. But, strange to say, the st. Paul
paper ignores entirely the growing senti-
ment against division on the 46th parallel.
great portion of south Dokota does not
want this and there is not city of any
Importance in north dakota that calls for
it, unless, perhaps, it is Grand Forks.
The territory will never be divided on
the forty-sixth parallel. But let the Pio-
neer drop word in the ear of our Demo
cratic friends. If you want that the Re-
publicans shall not have all the glory and
the prestige in this division business, all
you have to do is to divide the territory on
the Missouri river and admit the eastern
portion as state. You will then have a
Republican state of course, but the west
side of the river, which can still remain a
territory, will be a redeeming political
feature. There is no telling
now Its politics may
go. If Democratic congress is foolish
| enough to admit the whole territory as a
state, it will then have Republican state
without possible Democratic territory
| as a set-off.
The Pioneer has had no reason to dabbIe
much in politics. When it has reason, it
will endeavor to get on the right side. Its
synpathies are not to-day very much
with the Democratic party or its methods,
but in this question of division it may be
wise to gulp down a dose of political
medicine for the good of the West Mis-
souri, country.

Red river valley will secure frst-class
yield of its world famous number 1 hard.
There are reasonable prospects for good
price for wheat this fall, and the farmer
will undoubtedly find himself able to
promptly meet all of his obligations. The
sure road to success and wealth for Dakota
farmers is for them to learn to plow deep,
pulverlze the soil thoroughly, SOW plenty
of seed, cover it we'll, gradually buy and
raise stock and diversity their industries,
One hundred and sixty acres plowed well
and seeded early in the spring will pay
better than 320 acres seeded late, and with
the ground only half prepared.
