the Refreshments were superb.

sympathy is in Fargo this week, endeavor-
ing to persuade man here to assume the

terity. The matter will probably come
into court,
AS the college to be established by the
Presbyterian denomination in north Da-
kota has been secured by jamestown, it is
to hoped that the people of Fargo will
make an earnest offort to secure the one
provided for by the Congregational con-
vention held in Fargo this week.
1t should be noted that in all the dis
coveries of the precious metal along the
Cheyenne, there is no free gold. Conse-
quently it will require capital and heavy
machinery to mine it. Griswald and his
syndicate are expending some $4,000 OF
$4,000 in claims and machinery.
]. P. Rossiter, one of the young and
live business, and most popular society
men of Grand Forks, is receiving the con-
gratulations of his host of friends over his
marriage to Celia Smith at Buxton, Oct
81. There are several bright-eyed ones in
Grand Forks who would have gladly saved
him the trip to Buxton.
Thursday Col. Greer, the old and popu-
lar Northern Pacific agent at Fargo, as
sumed the position of assistant superin-
tendent of the Fargo Southwestern, the
branch of the Northern Pacific running
from Fargo to Lake Moore. His hosts Of
friends congratulate him upon his de-
served promotion.
North Dakota will be quite largely rep
resented in Washington this winter. Sew
eral prominent citizens will spend the sea-
son there with their families. There are
no special local interests to take them
there, but most of them are warmly in
favor Of division and will use their infu-
ence in that direction. They do not care
whether the south continues territory or
comes in as state, but they believe in
separation.
The numerous Dakota friends of G.
Kindred, who lately bought the immense
tract of land in Arizona, are gratifed to
learn that he has struck grand bonanza
in the silver mines upon the land. If, as
the engineer alleges, there is $1,5OO,O00 of
ore in sight, there can hardly be limit to
the extent of the deposit. If he will bring
on few bushels of it and knock the heads
in, he may beat Knute Nelson for congress
next year.
Most of the prominent towns on the
Northern Pacific in Dakota are trying to
secure the residence of the bishop of
north Dakota. Their arguments gener-
ally take the shape of town lots and other
material considerations. There is no Ger
teinty that the New York gentleman elect
ed to that post will accept. If he does he
will look the field over and select the lead
ing point which is most accessible to all
parts of the diocese.
The sessions of the convention of the
Congregationalists of north Dakota, held
in Fargo this week, are quite interesting.
The members generally are men of
good ability and would do credit to cler-
ical gathering IN any of the states. Some
of the papers read upon the educational
and religious needs of Dakota were com
prehensive and forcible, and show that
the denomination is doing a good work,
and keeping pace with the wonderful pro-
gress of this new country.
