Lock Before You Leap.

Persons leaving their eastern
homes to seek new ones in the north
west ore all DESTROYS of lettering
their condition in life, and for that
reason start out to look the country
over with a view to finding the best
location for the business or %avocation
they desire to follow. After leaving
st. Paul they meet with persons-a
real estate agent. an owner of a town
Site or some other person interested
in building up certain locality or
town-and they are made to believe
that there is to be the future great
city of the northwest. The town and
surrounding country is pictured to
them with all the spledor of imagery
and eloluence Of Il VI elster. 1hf, II
Imagination is wrought Up to its
highest pitch and they decide to 10.
cate at the place. What is their dis

tured to them mere imaginary things
No true Dakotian, loyal to the inter
ests of his town will mislead the
new corners in that way; yet there
are some who labor under the idea
that nothing is too great o good to
say of the town in which they are in.
terested and thereby do it more in.
jury than twice the amount of honest
conscientious booming can repair.
We will give Our readers a few facts
in regard to Dickinson and Stark
county; facts that are borne out by
the testimony of all who have been
so fortunate as to locate within our
borders: The country is a beautiful
rolling prairie of rich soil adapted to
agriculture, and stock raising. AL.
most every acre has underlying it a
vein of superior Ignite coal varying
in thickness from five tn fifteen feet.
This coal buns well i'm an ordinay
heating stove and is sold at So to
$3.50 per ton. This is an advantage
not possessed 10y the eastern part of
the territory, and the day is not far
distant when we will be furnishing
them with fuel. For farming it is
equal to any in the territory. Dick
inson is the county seat with six to
seven hundred population and is the
center of the Missouri division of the
Northern Pacific railroad. The large
machine shops and round house which
the company is building here are
about completed and the machinery
will be placed in position as soon AS
possible. These shops will furnish
employment Tor Il number of me-
chanics who will add to our
population 10y bringing their families.
Twenty-Five firms represent the bust
ness interests of the town, all of
them doing a good business. This is
also the outftting point for abe hunt
ers. Richardton, Taylor and Glad
stone are the other leading towns OF
the county and are growing rapidly
and enjoying a good trade from the
eettlers surrounding them. If yon
are contemplating a removal to the
northwest take a look at the country
west of the Missouri river before
locating. It's advantages are many.

AS yet but few claims have been
jumped in this part of the territory
One belonging to G. H. Klinefelter
being the most prominent OF account
OF the Improvement, which amount
to considerable. 1t was not because
the jumper could not set plenty of
lind just as good, but the improve
ments are what he was after. MI.
Klinefelter is an old settler here and
thai he or any other citizen who
came into Stark county a
year or two ago and settled
when the future of the coun
try was in doubt, should have their
claims jumped by a newcomer is an
injustice that deserves the severcst
condemnation of every fair minded
citizen.

Interesting Facts.

The first two volumes of the tenth
census, which have just heen issued.
contain many interesting facts. Da-
kotans will be especially interested in
noting that in this territory the pro-
nortionate increase of population he
tween 1870 and 1880 was the greatest
of any state or territory in the union.
In 1870 the population was l4.l8l.
In 1880 l35.l77.
a casual observer would have said
that the greatest increase was either
in Kansas or Nebraska. In the for
mer the population in 1870 was 384,39
And in 1880, 99s,O98.
In Nebraska in 1870 the population
was l22,993.
And in 1880, 452,4o2.
The smallest increase was in Ver-
mont, where in 1870 the population
was 33O.55l.
In 1880, 332,2e6.
Dakota's per cent of increase was
$685., and Vermont IS per cent. The
magnitude of population is as follows:
The largest in New York state,
which has a population Of four and a
quarter millions. Ohio comes next
with three million one hundred and
ninety-eight thousand, and Illinois
fourth with three million. Missouri
has a trit1e over two million, and In
diana a. trifle under two million.
Massachusetts stands seventh, with
one million and three-quarters, and
Wyomining is at the foot of the list.
standing forty-seventh, with twenty
Thousand sever hundred and eighty
nine.
In the first seven states mentioned,
they retain the same relative posi-
ton which they occupied in 1870.
In density of population the Dis:
trict of Columbia stands first with
296O.4, Rhode Island second with
254.9, Dakota is g of one per cent.
and the smallest on the list is Wyom-
ing with 3 per cent. Montana next is
g per cent, and Idaho and Arizona
with a per cent.-Fargo Argus.
One-eighteeth part of Dakota has
been set apart for educational pur'
poses. These lands can not be sold
for less than $40 per acre, and large
tracts, it is thought will bring more,
They aggregate 100000 acres, and
are valued at Ss2,5 500, 900. There will
be NJ excuse for ignorance in the
great wheat land of the future
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Last winter we warned our readers
against buying the large packs of
worthless horse and cattle powders,
and as it is now time to begin to use
them, we again urge not to throw
away their money. Sheridan's Pow.
dcrs are strictly pure. but we know of
no others that are.

THE jamestown Alert pays the
Yankton Press and Dakotaian the
following compliment: elf Governor
Ordway has done and is doing all the
Press and Dakotaian charges him
with, he must be a digger man than
the president. He is accused of being
the main obstacle in the way of the
division of the territory and of being
the moving spirit in the opposition to
the Sioux Fall constitution. The
governor is about the best abused
man i'll the territory. If he is as
thoroughly and unanimously hated
in Southern Dakota as the Press and
Dakotaian has labored to make the
people believe, it would be difficult
to account for the influence he is ex.
crting over the people down there
against the constitution. This seems
to be contradictory, and it is u we'll
recognized philosophical principle
that no two truths can be CONTRA
tlictory. Either the world has been
imposed upon for ages by a philo-
sophical delusion or the Press and Da-
kotaian has asserted too much. If
II Yankton contemporary was on
the witness stand and made such
statements, the lawyer on the other
side might reflect upon its credibil.
lty. The Alert has no cause of pref.
''dice either for or against Governor
Ordway, but believes he is entitled
to justice as much as any other man
and no more. He is likewise entitled
to his opinions as much as any other
man and should he as secure from
persecution for opinions sake as any
other. If he is opposed to division
why should he not have a right to
entertain and express his opinion the
same as any other man! If he is op-
posed to the Sioux Falls constitution
what law of the territory or Of pro.
priety does he violate by feeling OF
Say ing so? The unreasonable bitter.
ness manifested toward the governor
by the press Of southern Dakota and
the unsupported charges heaped upon
him have made his friends the
stronger and his enemies weaker.
Let justice be Gone though the
heavens tall."

gether with fifteen thousand acres of choice
Railroad Lands, selected by him two years since,
winch comprises many excellent sections near
town. These lands are now offered to actual
settlers and improvers at very low prices on
time with favorable rates of interest. TO all
those who have looked over the town of Dickin- y
son and the large agricultural country that must
center here, together with the fact that the
Northern Pacific Railroad have made this the
freight division terminus and now have over one
hundred men at work building stone and brick
round houses and machine shops and large cattle
yards involving an expenditure of at least one
hundred thousand dollars this season, thereby
making it the Jamestown of the Missouri Divis-
ion. It is needless for me to add that both to
settlers and spectators this town and the sur
rounding country presents opportunities rarely
offered to those who desire homes or wish to put
down one dollar and take up two Or three. The
Nearly all the trades and professions are already
represented. A bank will soon be established.
Special inducements are offered to any party
who will erect a hotel to cost about ten thousand

The Livingston Family.
The Case of Alicia Very Valuable Rail-
road Engineer.

A New York letter says: The Livingston
family is very old and blue blooded in this
state. 1t had two great manors on the Hud-
son, and the great man of the race was the
old chancellor. The history Of the family
has been most varied. To-day it presents
some curious features. Upon Fifth avenue
are several representatives enjoying wealth
carefully preserved, and living in elegance.

Gently conspicuous in breach Of promise
suit against Henry Fleming, president Of the
central oil refining company, In which she
obtained a verdict for $4,000. A friend
few nights ago asked me to visit with him
another branch Of the family, one of the for
mer owners Of the upper manor. Up three
flights of rickety stairs in Sixth avenue
building we went, and knocked at the door
of hall room An aged lady, with snow
white hair, answered the knock and respond
ed to the name of Mrs. Livingston. There were
but three chairs in the apartment She
called her daughter, who was preparing to
retire in what seemed to be a dark closet,
and comely young woman, aged nineteen,
came out, laughingiy spologiziDg for the sur
roundings. My friend, who was police Of

had been cast adrift because he had married
a maid from the household and who, after
serving upon the police, became an engineer
on the Erie railroad and has not been heard
of since. The mother and daughter and one
son were living here in utter poverty. The
husband, Henry Livingston, the nephew of
the old chancellor, after wild career COM
mitted suicide al Stanwix hall, Albany, on
the day that Garfield died. He ran through
with three fortunes, and in some Of his al
most insane adventures was once or twice
in an asylum for the insane, and once was

he lived in the Planters hotel in St. Louis.

If the Hon. S. S. Cox is reported correct
ly there is not that degree of moderation in
speech on his part with respect to his oppo-
nent, Randall, in the contest for the Speak
ership that we should like to see to see.
Mr.. Cox is represented as calling Mr.. Ran,
dali shat prince of schemers and politica
tricksters,n and as volunteering the infor-
nation that ''in his political maneuverlngs
he is as inscriptions as it is possible for a
man to be:'' also that the is utterly devoid
of one particle of political honesty" From
this it may be inferred that Mr.. Randall has
secured some support from among those
whom Mr.. Cox had learned to regard as his
friends. Mr.. Randall is very good at that
sort of thing.
