THE GRANDrATHER's STORY
About the Bad, Bold RObber and
the Editor.


"Listen, my children" said ven-
erabie man, sand | Will tell you a
story, beautiful and true. Once upon
q time there was bold, bad robber,
who had his haunt in the wilds OF
mountain. AT the foot of the noun
tain, in the valley, was village. 1t
WAS not very large village, yet in 1t
a newspaper was printed. Tue rob-
Der looked upon the editor OF the
newspaper As being the chief man OF
the village, and thought he must be
very rich. so one dark night he
came down from his den in the noun
tain and stole into the dwelling OF the
editor and then into the room where
he slept. Ihe editor, being a good
man, slept as soundly and sweelly as
a child. The robber searched all the
place, but could not find the easkets
Of gold and diamonds he had sup
posed TO he stored up III the room.
lie had put his hands IN all the pock-
cts OF the clothes of the editor, but
found no money in any OF them. The
ropber then stood for a time "a in 4
stnpsr. lie was like one awakened
from a dream lie listened for some
moments TO the deep regular breath
ing OF The sleeping editor, and as he
50 stood he began TO feel sad. The
heart OF the bold, bad man was
touched. Quietly he took from his
purse 81 20, placed the money in the
pantaloons pocket OF ths editor and
softly stole rom the house. IN the
morning, when the editor got up and
put on his pantaloons there was
jingle a, Of money. A look of aston
lsbment came into the face of The ed
itor. lie put his hand INTO his pock-
ct aud drew out the money. When
he Jaw this great wealth the knees OF
the editor smote togetheri he turned
pale, tainted aud fell TO the floor and
there lay as one who i dead
"Ohl ohl grandfather, did they
catch the bad robber man and hang
him on a iree?n
mo, my dears, they did not catch
the bad, bold robber lie is It'll llv-
ing. From that day he reformed and
got place a. ca hier in a big bank,
where you viii be glad to hear that
he Is doing we'll and is greatly respect

"Ah. yes, my darlings! had al
most forgotten himl Well, when he
came out of his fsint and his eyes
again saw all the money lying about
the room where il had fallen, he was
sorely perplexed. At last, he felt
sure it had been quietly placed in his
pocket in the night by great and
rich neighbor, who owned lanyard,
and was running for The Legislature.
So for days and days he printed IN
his paper whole columns Of praise Of
the rich neigh Uor, who was elected
to the Office, and ever after the two
men were the greatest friends. Thus,
my desrs, do good actions always
meet with their reward

The next republican convention will
be held IN Chicago. This gives the friends
of Hon. John A. Logan cause to rejoice,
as the selection, it is believed, will have
tendency to promote his interests in the
next presidential campaign, and those
who read closely the signs of the times
are now of the opinion that Logan will
secure the second, if not the first place
on the ticket. There is no living soldier
of the late war more popular among the
enlisted men of the old army than he,
not excepting Grant, Sherman or Sheri-
dan, and they would take pride in rally
ing around Logan's flag.
It remains true, however, that Arthur's
administration is remarkable for it's free
dom from mistakes, and every act or ut
terance of his has tendency to strength
en- him in the esteem of his countrymen,
to strengthen him with his party, and it
is now almost universally conceded that
Arthur alone can give the republicans
complete victory in the next campaign
because the conflicting element in New
York, which is absolutely essential to
success, can and will unite upon Mr.
Arthur, and carry the state for him
against any man it is possible to nomi-
nate upon the democratic ticket.

Loves Disasters.

One of those sickening results of unrequitted
love, which harrow up ONES affections and
places him in direct enmity with that rascal,
Cupid, occurred at the room of one Lou Shan.
non, over the Chinese laundry, Wednesday after
noon. Although she retains the name of Shan
non, perhaps for stage convenience, she has
lived as the wife of Hawks, known in this vi
cinity as the song and dance man. Yesterday
afternoon at about two o'clock the woman pur-
chased large smount of morphine, and, re-
turning to her room, swallowed the entire dose.
Dr.. Corson was Immediately called and admin
istered remedies which revived the would-be
suicide and by close attention her life wss
saved. The cause of the act is detection and
dependency. Hawks has an engagement to
appear somewhere in Minnesota and stated vea-
terday that he would not take "Lou" with him.
Upon hearing this, the girl became despondent
and purchased the poison. At last accounts she
WAS recovering slowly. =

The bar of Fargo does not intend to
remain idle in the face of the necessity
for division of the work in this judi
cial district. The Argus says: ''The
bar of Cass county took the initiative in
a very desirable move last night. After
the adjournment of court, a meeting was
had and committee appointed to issue
invitations to a general bar convention
of North Iakota, to impress upon con-
gress the need of more judicial districts
or more judges in the Third judicial dis
trict. The present incumbent is greatly
overworked, and no one who has in
spected the calendars of the county
courts, can doubt the needs of the case.
Legal business depends upon wealth as
well as population. North Dako-
ta's assessment is five million more
than South Dakota, but the latter has
three judges to the former one, and the
south is already clamoring for more dis
tricts. Every property owner as well as

The Dalrymples are in the Bed River district
and so not restricted in the extensions Of their
domains by the limits Of the Sioux reservations.
but Mr.. DaIrymple voices the opinion Of Dakota
people when he says that it is the popular wish
that reservations as great as the Sioux occupy
should not be withheld by these Indians, who
are not Of character or number ever to develop
the land as it deserves. Mr.. DalryE pie believes
that Of course the Indian should be protected
and provided for, but not just in the present
way. He would be content for instance, to see
the tribe localized and each head of family
given q plot of eighty acres, or more if neces-
sary.
Mr.. Dalrymple understands that the people Of
the southern half of the territory, who have
already prepared a state constitution, will duly
apply to the present congress for admission into
the union. An element of opposition ex-
lists, however, within Dakota's own borders, in
asmuch as the temperance people are Of mind
to oppose the scheme, since the movers of the
admission programme left out prohlbitory
clause in their constitution. Contrasted with
the ambitious Dakotaneae below the forty sixth
parallel the people of the northern half are
more content to rest a SPELL having got the
capital transported to Bismarck. Mr.. Dairym-
pie reports his people as having faith in North
Pacific stock, when the road shall be ouce estab-
lished. The stock was started too high he re-
marked, almost at par, which, with the floating
indebtedness, was in the beginning something
to pound the stock down.

TUE pIIBLIC LAND LAWS.

The only real objection to the repeal
of the pre-emption law was anticipated
by those drawing the bill now before
congress for it's repeal It is proposed to
give in lieu of the pre-emption right an
additional homestead right to those who
have not availed themselves of their
rights under the pre-emption law. This
is vast improvement upon the pre-
emption law and will do away with every
objection that can be brought against
it's repeal.
It is better than the pre-emption law
because when one enters homestead he
gains possession of land upon which no
man can lawfully enter with view to
establishing an adverse claim until all
equities that may exist in favor OF the
original occupant are passed upon by the
department. The claimant need not go
upon the land after his entry until the
end Of six months, and may then go and

Bismarck, the capital of Dakota, is sit
uated within forty-three miles of the
geographical center of the territory, on
the east bank of the Missouri river, at
the North Pacific crossing of that stream.
It has population of 4,500; Presbyte-
rian, Episcopal, Methodist, Baptist and
Catholic church structures; graded pub
lie and Catholic schools; two brick pub
lie school buildings, one of them costing
$25,O00; brick court house, costing $780,

costing $4,000; Dakota capitol, main
portion to be enclosed January l, 1884,

costing $850,000, were erected. Missouri
river bridge at Bismarck, completed in
1882, cost $1,50O,O00. The Chicago &
Northwestern and Milwaukee & St. Paul
railway companies have surveyed lines

President villard,s Romance.

After reporting what was to be seen during
the first attack on Charleston, 8. O., Henry VIII
lard came north and made the acquaintance of
Will am Lloyd Garrison and was taken to that
gentleman's home in Boston and introduced to
the Garrison household as hero and strong
an!i-slavery advocate. Here the young man
saw Miss Fanny Garrison, beautiful young
lady, who was about completing her educa-
ton in Boston seminary. She was considered
one of the bellies of Boston society, patriotic,
bright, and, though quite young, thoroughly un-
derstood the causes which led to the breach be-
tween the North and South. Mr.. Willard passed
many hours in conversation with the enthusias-
tic maiden before he again started for the front.
Her vivacious manner and winning ways had
driven from his memory the early resolutions
made before he sought his fortune on this side
of the Atlantic, and the modest desire for
little cote in sunny France with
the dark-eyed girl who had first inspired
him with the tender sentiments of love as his
wife. Never in all of his travels in Europe, or
in any portion of the west and south-fOr by
this TIM Willard haa seen much of the world
had he come in contact with a soul which so
thoroughly charmed him. He returned to the
south fully determined to keep her foremost in
his memory. When, later on, malarial fever,
contracted in the southern swamps, forced him
again to return north, he was assisted
back to health by the tender sym
pathies and cheering smiles of the beau
tiful Boston girl. Then he declared his love,
both to the daughter and parents, and little
later led her to the altar. Since his marriage
Mr.. Wizards life has been one of unusual sue
cess. Today the once poor but am bitious emf
grant youth may be found surrounded by
lovely family Of children in a grand old
mansion, bordered by parks and lawns, on the
banks overlooking the Hudson, near this city,
The beautiful young eastern girl is just as
charming as ever.-New York Journal.

DalrymD1e's Views.

Chicago Inter- Ocean: Mr.. w. F. Dalrymple,
of Dakota, was at the Grand Pacific short time
yesterday on his way to Washington and New
York. To gee the name of Dalrymple is to con-
lure up visions of farm land that might almost
be said to be bounded by the cardinal points
themselves, if such indeed had really any mate
rial existence. Mr.. Dalrymple and his brother
Oliver are the proprietors of farm of about
$4,000 acres, this being the present acreage, a.
given by Mr.. Dalrymple to a reporter Of the
Inter Ocean yesterday.
That portion given up to grain this past year
was, he says, 28,OCO acres, of which 1000 acres
bore oats and barley. and the enormous remain
der of 10000 wheat. The average yield per acre
was from eighteen to twenty bushels.
Computing on the basis of one of his acres
maximum production, Mr.. Dalrymple sent
forth, to the delight or madness of sundry bulls
and bears, something over half million BUSH
els of wheat. The residue of his immense
acreage is more or less preserved in grass.
Latterly the lrymples have added about 5000
acres per year to their farm the rate of increase
in not now 50 great, though these big farmers
are constantly expanding their landed posses
sions.
Mr.. Dalrymple speaks very favorably of the
Lake Superior port, syfeld, which has been re-
Gently opened at the town of that name some
saventy-five miles below Duluth. He foresees
tbst it will become competing port with the
latter. He understands that it possesses an ex-
cellent and sheltered harbor, with depth of
water of from 70 to 100 feet. It is said, from
the temperature and movement of the water
conditions not prevailing so favorably at Du-
luth-that the ice does not form 80 as to impede
navigation until Christmas. The Omaha road
