A CORRESPONDENT from Steele consid-
ers that Kidder county, which contains
over million acres of the most fertile
land in Dakota, is in deplorable condi-
ton. He says: "In a certain part of
this county there are about one hundred
and fifty to two hundred railroad men
working on gravel pits and as section
hands, many Of whom are not law abid-
ing citizens, and on each pay day cause
disturbances to the citizens of this
county. There are now four pei sons who
have been bound over to criminal prose-
cution, all of whom were guarded night
and day and finally taken to Jamestown
on account of there not being a jail in
Kidder county. The matter has occa-
stoned great deal of comment and fault
finding. It is to be hoped that the
United States judge will not longer deny
the people of as thickly a settled county
as that of Kidder, court house and jail
which they are not only justly entitled to
but in absolute need of. They have been
deprived of it by frivolous suits brought
by irresponsible parties owing to a differ
ence of opinion as to the proper location
of the court house, but as the voice of
the people has decided the matter it is
hard to understand why the judge does
not act in the matter

A BOILER BURSTS
And Causes the Complete Destruction
of a Paper Mill.
A Eumber Manned by the Terrific
Explosion. VI
The Power OF Steam.

GLENs FALLS, N. Y, July 16.-At twenty
minutes past o'clock loud detonation was
heard, resembling the explosion of large
quantity of gunpowder, shaking buildings
and breaking windows within mile.
Clouds of steam and dust were seen rising from
the vicinity of the Glens Falls Paper company g
works south of Glens Falls. A large steam
boiler was thrown from the mill 400 feet and
wounded Christopher Yattaw, fireman, who was
thrown distance of thirty feet; Charles Miller,
Charles Cover, X. J. Dickinson, Timothy Buck
ley, Michael Buckley, Stephen tLynch, Lee
Parks, Edward Sweeney, Patrick Sullivan,
Charley Lee and Mrs. Nellie Sullivan. Some of
of the wounded are thought to be fatally in
jured. Within fifteen minutes after
the explosion the ruins took fire and the flames
spread with great repidity destroying the build
ings wherein were stored soda ash and fuel
The exploded boiler was one Of three of the
rotary pattern used for boiling straw, but had
recently been used to make steam for the en-
gines. There were also steam boilers in the
room. It was supposed the boiler was strong
enough. The loss is estimated at between $75,-
600 and 100000. Insured one half. Assmall
brick building located forty feet from the boiler
room was destroyed by concussion.

The season of 1888 is one that will
long be remembered. It is a season of
cyclones; of drouth; of excessive rains;
of hail; of snow in midsummer at many
points and of excessive heat.
There is scarcely state, or a section
of any state or territory that has not
suffered from unexpected climatic dis
turbances.
Ohio, Indiana and Michigan are in
the midst of harvest, and one storm fol-
lows another so fast that there is little
hope of saving the grain It has rained
almost every day for six weeks, cores
pondent writes from northern Indiana.
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Kansas
have been heavy sufferers from cyclones.
Other portions of the west have suffered
from hail; the Red and James river val
leys have suffered from drouth. In these
regions, however, the season is not SO far
advanced but that the timely rains of the
past few days may yet bring fair aver
age crop, except in occasional flats, usu
ally basins where there was too much
moisture early in the spring.
From the present outlook the undula-
ting lands of the Missouri river slope
will produce the best crops in Dakota.
They will be inferior to last year in bush
els per acre it is true, but not in quality,
and are likely to bring more money than
last year, as higher prices are certain to
be realized. North and south of Bis
marck, along the river, the crops are gen.
orally good. East of the city they are
considerably injured, and occasionally

Recent Decisions.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 14.-Secretary Teller
has issued an order that no proposal will be re-
ceived for consideration by the department of
the interior from any person, firm or corpora
ton in default in the performance Of any con-
tract OF agreement made with the department.,
or who has failed to perform the same to the
satisfaction of the department, nor will any con-
tract be hereafter awarded to such person, firm
or corporation. The order went into effect on

be acting de faoto, but not de jure, has the
same effect as if made before the register, and

"THE D-d Commissioners" might be
the heading of articles published in al
most every paper in Dakota. The head
ing might be quoted preparatory to
defense, for there are some honest and
just journalists in Dakota, or made direct
for assault. The jamestown Alert, one
of the ablest in Dakota, speaking of the
commission, and their action in rejecting
the plans of corrupt architects says:
The capital commission have accepted the
plans of Minneapolis architect who is OF ma
tional reputation, L. s. Burlington. and appointed
him supervising architect of the capitol build
ing. As was to have been expected those who
failed to 'get there are dissatisfied with the
decision of the commissioners and the cry
of corruption and bribery is raised. The Fargo
Republican says, 1T is said that one who had
very fine plans finally offered $4,000 if his plans
were adopted and another offered $4,000" The
fact of any one offering a bribe, if such was
done would be sufficient to justify the rejection
of his plans, for being dishonest in one thing
he would likely be in all things. The commits
siners did we'll in rejecting the plans of such
persons, and that fact furnishes no grounds for
suspicion that they accepted larger bribe from
another party, as intimated further on in the
article from which the aboye is quoted. The
capital commission have been accused of nearly
every phase of dishonesty, but this is the first
time we have noticed their being charged with
receiving bribe because they had received such
offers. They may be dishonest and bold, bad
men. but certainly their refusal to accept bribes
does not prove it. The newspaper courts have
queer way OF convicting the commissioners OF
dishonesty and corruption. They are id if
they do, and id if they don't and they will
soon become 50 accustomed to the abuse that
they will not care q d-n what the papers say of

The Yankee South.

Memphis Appeal
The impression still obtains that the south
ern people cherish such a deadly hatred to
Yankees that they will neither smell, taste,
touch, nor handle anything contaminated by
Yankee hands. This is a most egregious error.
The southern people love the Yankee, and
they show this affection in thousand differ
ent tways When they retire at night they un-
button Yankee buttons to Yankee-made coats,
waistcoats, pantaloons, shirts, and drawers.
They pull cff Iankee boots with Yankee boot
jacks, and divest their feet of Yankee
socks. They march to Yankee bed
steads, turn down Yankee ooverlets and Yankee
blankets, PROSTATE themselves on Yankee mat
tresses and lay their heads upon Yankee pill
lows. The bedbugs are the only things not
made bv Yankee hands and imported from the
land of the Yankees. On rising in the morning
we tread Yankee carpets, stumble over Yankee
chairs and sofas, build q fire with Yankee coal,
taken from Yankee eouttles, in Yankee CRATES,
catch the ashes in Yankee pans, and use Yam
kee pokers, Yankee shovels and tongs. We
repair to Yankee washstands, pour water from
Yankee pitchers iuto Yankee bowls, and wash
with Yankee soap; then use Yankee towels and
Yankee bureau, stand before . Yankee glass,
and use Yankee combs, Yankee brushes, Yam
kee powder, Yanke cologne in Yankee bottles
We sit down in Yankee chair to . Yankee ta-
Bile, covered with Yankee cloth, Yankee
knives and forks, Yankee dishes, and feed
picks, seize Yankee hats from Yankee racks,
turn the key to Yankee lock, open Yankee
door, enter Yankee buggy, seize the Yankee
reins to = Yankee harness, and repair to our
places Of business, and spend the day in trad
Ing upon Yankee industry. The south is rich
