morning. The managers received many
compliments for their ingenuity and apt
devices and all were charmed with the
festive occasion.
one of the coolest days of the past week,
David Saulsbach and Moses, his brother,
went to Fishers landing in a sIeIgh, and
on tneir return home the horse became so
exhIilarated with the ozone of the atmos-
pnere that ne tipped them over into
snow drift and left with the sleigh. They
hao TO walk four miles to a house. with
the thermometer 25 degrees below zero,
and had frozen ears and a good deal of
experience to report.
Col. @. A. Morton, the noted real estate
agent and Fargo boomer, who W. Dem.
ocrat in the war as soldier, and has never
gotten over it, writes characteristics let
ter to correspondent in Ohio, who wants
to come to Fargo to start a Democratic
paper. He says that in Dakota "newspa-
pers and impeeunious newspaper men are
plentier than halfbreed feas on a prairie
dogs bssk." Most of tho people are Re-
publicans, he says, and will continue so
till after the presidential election. LOTS
OF Irishmen are holding Office aud all
Republicans. The colonel, whose piety is
perhaps mere conspicuous than ais Dem
ocrscy, says that the only new newspaper
he can recommend would be a religious
sheet with Democratic flavor.
The fire at Fargo Saturday night was
nearly mile from the headquarters of
the ire companies, consequently the flames
were under too good Roadway before they
got there to save the building in which it
originated, but they did good work in say
ing goods and the adjacent warehouse of
). q. Mclaughlin, one side of which was
burned only. Frank Stetson's grocery
house was entirely destroyed, loss of
about $4,000, quite fully insured-$100 of
1t taken out not ten hours before the fire.
MIR. Bentley, who lived over the store, lost
some $500 of household goods. The puild-
ing was owned by B. F. Fryer and insured
for S1,5OO. Mr.. Mclaughlin had full in
suranee on his warehouse, but his loss was
not large. The fire was attributed to the
upsetting of steve. The Yerxa Hose Co.
No. was first on the ground and had en-
tire charge of the water, running 1000 feet
OF hose, and deserving much credit for
their Prompsness and efficiency.
Rev. a. Swift, who has for quite naH-
Der OF years oeen missionary among the
Sioux Indians, reports that the red men
are quite sensible that the reservation
must soon be open for settlement, and
only want it done legally, without g. hrrly-
bury rush erowding them off from the
land they want secured for themselves
and their children. Mr.. Swift says the
lands that they wish to reserve lie in the
Moresu valley, along river which emp
ties into the Missouri opposite LIE Beau.
1t is narrow. crooked stream, with high,
broken bluffs, and is subject to overhows,
which fact does not inconvenience an In
dian. 1t is not heavily timbered, as is
generally supposed, but the country ad-
joining the valley is very fertile. Mr.
Swift says that if the Indian could be i'm
pressed with the belief that the white set
tiers and railroads would keep up on the
high lands and away from the streams
upon the reservation, it would be an easy
matter to gein theiz consent to open Che
same.
