Last Monday morning in an en-
deavor to take drink from Odegard &

ten men succeeded in pulling the un-
fortunate and thoroughly chilled brute
out of the pit.
With it's triplicate horrors of flood,
cyclone and mob law, Ohio is decidedly
good state to emigrate from. At the
present rate of deaths with their boots
on Ohio will hardly have an available
candidate for the presidency by time
the convention meets next month.
Some people that you meet greet you
with Il hearty and human ''how'dy,'
while others rush by you with head and
tail up as though they were after coon
in a corn patch, and were afraid they
would not get there. Oh well, there is
just as much difference in folks as in
anybody.
"A lady writing to the publisher from
Indiana, says: IF the emigration to
Dakota from other states is proportion
ately as great this spring as from Ell
kart county the territory will soon be a
state ranking with New York. for over
so families from this vicinity are pre-
pairing to move to the great land"
MIR. and Mrs. w. r. Whidden re-
turned from New York City last Mon
day, having been compelled to wait sew
eral days in Sanborn for train. Mr..
Whidden purchased new goods while
away, which are daily arriving. and it
looks as though his aggressive institu-
ton intended to fairly outdo all previous
efforts in catering to the public demand.
4 -Cooperstown will have brick ward
in full blast the first of next month. in
all probability. Mr.. John A. Swanson.
a Fargo brick maker. was up last Nom
day and said he had machines in readi-
ness to ship to this place in case he can

pose, and as Messrs. Cooper Bros. own
the premises this desired acquisition is
almost an assured fact. Score another
for Cooperstown.

200 worth of improvements for that
town during the year 1888. 1t is notice.
able that about half that amount was
expended by the Lehman E. & L. Co.
or individual members of the corpora
tion. Counting what they have done
directly for the place and what their in
, tluence has otherwise accomplished for
ITS progress. it is found that Sanborll
is indebted to the Lehman interests for
seventy-fve per cent. of it's growth.
EFarmers clean your seed wheat.
The Lehman E. & l.. Co. will sell you a
machine for $500 that will take out all

All over the territory the notes of
preparation are sounding for improve
ments to be carried out the coming
, season. New RAILROADS to connect diff
ferent points and open up the country;
new brick blocks in village and city;
new industries giving employment to
hundreds; new enterprises of all kinds.
Such is the prospect in Dakota to-day.
1t is not necessary to add that in this
grand march of advancement Coopers-
. town floats her banner at the head of
the procession, for the fact is too gen.
orally admitted to be utilized as an item
of news.
That excellent paper, the Washburn
Times, in an able and pious admonition to
young gmensuggests that astrong capacity
i, of self restraint is absolutely indispensa-
BILE to anv lasting business success in Da-
kota. Youmay get along nicely withouta
trade or profession if you possess fair
intelligence, but without the power OF
resisting debilitating, demorallzing and
expensive habits you cannot hope to
succeed anywhere. and perhaps you are
better off at home than in Dakota.
