West Of the Missouri.
The Northwest.

Emigrants who want to find good
agricultural lands for homesteads, or
who desire to buy cheap railroad
lands, need not be discouraged if they
do not get what they seek in the old
er settled parts of Dakota. Let them
push on to the new region west of
the Missouri. The land in that
section is productive and fair to look
upon. Many energetic little villages
are springing up which promise in a
few years to become large towns.
The soil is excellent for wheat, oats
and potatoes; the natural pasturage
is good; there are plenty of running
streams, and coal seams are so num-
erous that most farmers can dig and
haul their own fuel from the side of
a bluff.
New Salem, Glenullin, Taylor,
Gladstone. Ricardton, Dickinson and
BelfieId. are the names of tiourishing
young settlements on the railroad.
At anv of them settlers will be cor.
daily welcomed.

A Night on the Prairie.

About ten o'clock Monday night
John McDonough reported in town
that horse thieves had stolen his
team and started south with them.
In a few minutes the sheriff, his dep.
uty and half dozen others started
in pursuit. After leaving town the
crowd separated and in short time
the stern voice of deputy Stark rang
out on the still night: "Halt, hands
up," in tone that would make even
the hair of horse thief stand OH end.
No sooner was the command given
than he with the sheriff and Brown,
the hunter, advanced upon the sup
posed thieves, six shooters in hand,
when to their surprise they found
that they had charged on James Col
listers shack, and all heaved a sigh
of relief. Chas. Dillon and Geo. Ed
gar desirous of doing their whole
duty and to let no guilty man escape,
''held up one of our young men and
his best girl, who were out buggy
riding. The young man and his COM
panion seeing there was no chance of
escape showed their good judgment
by quietly surrendering. Mike Gus
kelly and ye editor, hoping, yet not
frantically anxious to come into
close quarters with the thieves, after
travelling until one o'clock without
the satisfaction of 'sholding up"
horse thieves, shacks or lovers, struck
a hay camp where they laid their
weary bones to rest until the gray
dawn began to show itself when
they started home, reaching here in
time for breakfast. The night will
long be remembered by those who
participated i'll the search. The
horses were fonnd the next day about
three miles south of town.

A I'D. reporter yesterday called
upon Col. L. J. Fremaux, eX-register
Of the Land Office, at his residence on
Prieur street, for the purpose Of secur
ing all interview with him concerning
the article published in the Bugle Call,
which charges Mr.. J. G. Richardson.
eXS ate Land Register, with tue furg
cry or alteration OF certain land orders,
and also reflects upon the appointment
of Richardson by Gov. S. D. McEnery.
Col. Tremaux evidently anticipated
the purpose of the visit, for when the
reporter presented his card Col. FIRE.
muuX quickly returned the bit of briS-
tOl board with the remark decline
to talk to the newspapers, sir. ! have
been harrassed by other representatives
of the various papers in the city, con
corning the article Published III this
mornings Picayuue. All that I can say
is that / did not authorize the publca-
of any such article. l am sorry that
such an article has been published, but
suppose as it has been done that it
must take its course"
The charges published in the Bugle
Call, colonel" said the reporter, have
created quite a stir in the city, and the
general impression is that you are the
author OF the charges.
" I had nothing TO do with the pub
lieHtion of the charges, and cannot see
why such an impression sbould prevail,
but in the course of tine the public
will doubtless learn differently. The
article was published in paper in st.
james rarish, which l know but little
about."
If you are not the author Of the
charges, colonel, yOu should in justice
to yourself and the public make state
ment concerning the NATTER
I" No, sir. had nothing to do with
the matter, and do not propose to be
interviewed, or to answer any ques-
tons"
If you will not entertain or answer
any questions will you be kind enough
to read some questions which have
prepared?"
No. sir. will not. Other reporters
had questions prepared, the same as
yourself, but positively refuse to hear
or answer them. If read your gues-
tions it will be tantamount to the ques-
tions having been put. I refuse to an
swer amy questions, sir
The reporter seeing that Col. FIRE.
maux was determined not TO make
statement concerning the matter IN
question. babe him avery good evening.

The EcHo surrenders much space
in this issue to REPUTATION of the
last slandeFous and contemplate
charge made against the personal
honesty and integrity Of Gov. S. d.
McEnery. As has been the case win
every solitary charge and complaint
brought against the present admins
tration, this ono has been thoroughly
and indisputably controverted. A
careful reading of the evidence laid
before the public to-day cannot fail
but impress the reader of the entire
innocence of Gov. McEEcry, so far as
c'base charge of conspiring to de,
fraud the state is concerned. The
governors statement with regard to
this matter is unequivocally endorsed
by Auditor Allen Jumci, us well as
other prominent and trusted citizens
of our state. The Picayunc, in its
pcurIc and weak attempts to blackcn
the character of Gov. McEncry and
destroy his increasing chances for the
nomination, has in this instance, as in
all previous ones up to this date,
signally and ignobIy failed. What
its next move will be no one car tell,
but it will shortly unearth another
scandal of some sort or other, and
again umscrnpulousIy sssail the gov
ernor. 1t can accomplish nothing,
however. The odds are against it and
its followers, and nothing the com
bincd efforts of the entire opposition
can say or do will prevent Gov. Sam
y. McEnery from being the next
governor of Louisiana, if the honor
able gentleman lives until the day of
the election.

Oh,MyBack!

That's a common express

meaning. How much suf-

The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as

it does this BY commencing

AT THE beginning Of the canvass
the Echo was for Nichols, now it is
for McEnery; so, it seems, the Echo
is not SO sure of its own sentiments.
When it changed from Nichols TO Nc
Emery, did "the sentiments of the
people Of the parish in which it is pub
lishcd," change with it!
The sentiments of the people were
with McEuery from the beginning, as
they are to-day, hence there was no
room for change. Why the EcHo
espoused the cause of Gov. MeEncry,
has been distinctly and repeatedly
stated in these columns, and the editor
Of The Democrat knows it.
