He had great faith in loaves of bread

As we'll as pray.

Joaquin killer's Picture Of 5th Avenue

Fifth Avenue, in . carriage, is
quite another Fifth Avenue from
that on the pavement. Take every
Sunday morning for example. Near
~ = hundred thousand people have
been to church and are returning up
or down Fifth Avenue. Those Of
this great city who have not been to
church, and their numbers are many
now move out and up the gross river
of beauty that is flowing down. 1t
is a stately sight even for the most
refined and aesthetic. 1t is magnif.

nothing like it in the world. Az q
mighty stream, a living, moving
mass, bends over Murray Hill on

here. Our own $4,000, 900 have been

ambitious capital. Europe has sent
her own contribution from every
city; her most beautiful, II not her
best women are 70 be seen here every
Sunday on Fifth Avenue. All South
America and the Spanish Isles have
poured out their tribute. Truly it is
the carnival Of Rome without the

child IL not only richly but elegantly
and tastefully clad. 1t is conceded
that there are no svch we'll dressed

Another Divorce Suit.

Another racy divorce scandal came to
the front yesterday in bill for separation
and alimony filed il the district court by
Mrs. Carrie Peyer against her hus-
band, Emil Peyer, prominent
merchant of this city. The
complainant sets forth that defendant is
thirty three years of age while plaintiff
has seen but twenty seven summers. They
have been married several years and the
union has been crowned with two children.
As ground for the complaint the plain
tiff alleges cruel treatment, it being
common pastime of the defendant
to fly into passion and accuse the plain
tltf of having committed adultery, while
as diversion it is alleged that he would
place a cooked revolver at her head and
threaten to blow her brains out. AS she
did not tackel kindly to the treatment she
naturally desires to be released from her
llege before he carries his threats into ex-
ecution. The bill asks for the children
and portion of the estate.

4 Political Opport,snitar.

Editor Dakota and Montana department
st. Paul GLOBE:
GRAND FORKS, July 2O.-There is a uni
versal and growing sentiment amsng the
politicians of this territory that the pros
poets of the Democratic party were never
so fair, and the time for striking seems to
be at hand. The general sentiment seems
to be, that unless there is a decided and
immediate change in the tendency of
things, Dakota, instead of coming into
the union as one or two stalwart Republi-
cans states will come in as bitterly Demo-
cratic. The territory is naturally strong.
ly Republican by two thirds majority at
least, but under the mismanagement of
the party in power, revulsion of feel
ing amounting almost to a revolution is
setting in. This state of affairs is becom-
ing subject of constant discussion among
all classes of politicians in the country
and they assigned as a reason for it, the
corrUptness and worthlessness that pre-
walls in all official circles. Governor Ord
way, they allege, had been shown by
congressional investigation to be an infa-
nous scoundrel, really worthy of cell
IN penitentiary long before an alleged
president named Hayes exported him to
Dakota as governor. His record, it is
said, as published by Frank Pettigrew two
years ago, shows from official sources
enough of villainy and rascality to have
imprisoned for life any ordinary scamp.
1t is charged that he has been mixed deep
ly in every thievish and corrupt Job that
has been concocted in the territory since
he came to Dakota; that he had hand in
every county organization and county-seat
grab, and every corrupt railroad and cap
ital locating job, and that he
was implicated in the monstrous
iniquity perpetrated by the last
territorial legislature by which all the mil
lions of railroad property, consisting. of
surveyed or unsurveyed lands, town prop
erty and everything else, was exempted
from taxation, for which job, the surmisers
and conjecturers say, somebody must have
been paid big price. There is, it is said,
great disgust shown at many of his
including that of his utterly
unqualified son, George Ordway, as terri
torial auditor, and many others. The
universal detestation of the the capital
commission, which was a shameful auc-
tioneeri1g of the territorial seat of govern
ment to the highest bidder, and other
similar misdeeds, make this feeling almost
universal.
The Yankton grand jury has indicted
Soobey and Towner, two of Ordway's
legislative co-laborers in some of
the jobbing steals of last winter;
the disgust with the rings that run
everything in territory and counties,
the reckless extravaganza of the legisla-
ture in appropriating for all sorts of i'm
possible schemes, money enough to run a
large state, and disgust at the crowd of ut
ter!y disreputable men, gamblers, and COM
mon bunko steerers and swindlers, and at
the style of delegates and council men
which misrepresented the civilized COM
of this great territory at Yank-
ton last winter, which were the worst
that Dakota EVER did, or could
have; they say that SO far as any good has
