THE GREAT NORTH WEST,

The main Current Setting this cay
Minnesota aud Dakota the Farorite
Reyions-Soutltern Minnesota Coming
TO the front.
A recent number of the Pioneer
Press contained an extended article on
immigration, showing that the great
tide this year is turned to the New
Northwest, and that the inquiries and
arrivals are largely from the older
States Of the Union. 1t seems also
that there is an unusual inquiry about
Southern Minnesota. The Pioneer
Press says:
ANOTHER IMPORTANT ELEMENT
IN the growth aud development Of the
Northwest is the great intiax Of people
from other States. Tie number of
these is greater than ever this year, and
they are Il very fac class of people
| Where one foreign emisrant it coming
into Minnesota to-day, ten Eastern
men are making their advent. The
principal States from which inQnirieS
are ROW being received by the board of
| Immigration, ARE Illinois first, Ohio
second, New York third, the New En-
gland States fourth and Pennsylvania
fifth. There never was Il time, more
over, when so many inquiries were re
ceived respecting the Chances in Min
nesota Tor business, manufacturing ia
cilites, etc. People want to come here
and establish great industries. Still,
most Of the Fasteners take farming
lands, and they are usually per.,ohs OF
some means. They do not come merely
to settle on homestead lands. They are
able and willing to pay FOR their acres,
aud Will buy lard ut S. per acre and up
ward, for the sake of being near Il rail-
ROAD line, or having other special ad-
VantageS.
- THE STREAM INTO MINNESOTA.
The Northwest is receiving Il lar
ger percentage Of emigrants than amy
ot!:er section OF the country. "We
ought to feel perfectly satistie",' said
;tn e:uigral.t agent yesterday. ''The
great Stream is conii!:g our way, and it
is Only the tributaries that are setting
il other dir. ctious.' The particular
sections that will be the most favored
this year III this matter are Northwest
ern MINNESOTA, Northern Dakota, and
Southern Minnesota, There seems to
he Il more general direction ofattention
to Southern Minnesota than there has
been heretofore. Settlers from the
East and from the old countries are be-
ginning to inquire about the farming
lands there; and there is no doubt that.
If proper local efforts, are brought to
bear, large por ion of the i;l.migra-
ton this year viii 90 to the soulliern
stction of thu State. AS stated before,
the Immigration season has not fairly
set in. The ';i'aru d 5 l.ut lsl;cve in

come here bet ~ winter WaS failv uv-

unnecessary srff. ring. The railroad

can. The I'euI.lr who ct.ne here fro
foreign lands do rot appear to be l,.nl2,

TAKING TIE EjNGDON UF HE.ATEN
By FIOA3N CT.
The very devil Stems to have Mo-
ken in and out among the newspapers
and people Of Northwestern Iowa, IL
section, by-the-way, which has more
good newspapers to the acre ans! more
pressure OF newspaper brains to the
square inch than any part of the west
we know Of.
Recently Kelly, nf the Sioux City
Tribune, Went to- I,",nars and drew Il
pistol on viii ii. herman, of the T.e-
mars Democrat. deuiau!inga Il retrac, ion
of something ker,,an hal published
kerna,,, Of Course, refused, to retract.
Kelly Was arrested and is under bonds
to appear and answer to IL charge Of
mul derous assault.
More recently Frank Calhoun, Of the
Quorn Lynx, published in the same
county where the Democrat is publish
ed. was attacked by !. mob of about 10
men, or rather roughs, bummers and
dead beats, three or four Of whom We're
from Lemars. Calhoun is Il boy Of II
who had been making 1t lively for some
of the saloon rowdies and hummer pol
iticians, and so they attacked him forty
to one and gave him an outrageous
beating. Calhoun also refused to re-
tract.
Recently also Shepard, of the Rock
Rapids Review, was waylaid by soma
of the New York boys at that place and
struck several times to punish him
for something which appeared in his
paper.
In the cases Of Calhoun and Shepard,
both mobs claimed that something had
been published ''insnlting Il woman. ,:
This is the dirtiest and most cOwardly
of dodges. Two or three times, during
the warfare which was waged on the
ADVANCE Il few years ago. this dirty
and infamous dodge WAS attempted on
us. The towards supposed that if they
charged us with ''insulting woman''
they would have the sympathy of the
public. The men who resort to such
dodges are the dirtiest and meanest of
towards. This hiding behind wo-
man 8 petticoat while they stone an ed :
iter, is cowardly to the last degree and
would do discredit to All ordinary dog
What cowardly sneaks and whelps
they must be to resort to such subter.
fuge and then pile Oh an editor ten to
forty against one. In the long run these
assaults will benefit the editor and his
paper.
The Doctors Last Happy Resort
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Jan. II, 1SS2.-I
recently had Il very difficult case of con-
sumption. treated it in the most
scientific manner possible, but to no
effect; patient grew gradually worse.
Rather than give up. and as a last re-
sort. decided. much against my wish,
to use Il remedy that had cured one of
my former Patients. Greatly to my
surprise, the patient began to gain.
and in i much shorter time thar I
dared ever to expect, she was complete
