Northwestern Notes.


Col. Donan is organizing a corps Of dis
tlnguished types Of manly physique to visit
DEVILS lake, TO hunt and view his domains e
few days.
The Fargo camp FIRE, for which so elaborate
preparations are being made, which was set
for November %, has been deferred to De-
eember 2.
Sunday night the hardware store at James
town was broken open and $500 of goods
taken. It is thought the burglars were pro-
fessionals.
It is creditable to Judge Clifford that in his
own county he ran ahead of his party ticket,
getting I,O05 votes to $50. There are worse
men IN Dakota.
Fargo is to have broom brigade 10 evo-
Lutte in the interest OF tue Presbyterian
church. Some twehty-four enlistments Of
the fair warriors have been made.
The only county that settle thed county seat
matter 10 the satisfaction OF all parties and
sections was in Mcintosh, a county that has
had settlers only four months and has but
one townsite, HoslIins.
Mr.. II. Ellis, a versatile Young Journals
OF Fargo, who also has note in Dakota as a
poet, has become editor Of the Casselton Ss,t
and viii make it a spicy sheet and great sue
cess. He has added semi weekly, the only
one in the territory SO far as known.
A stranger on October 20, left a very ane
two-horse team and buggy at the stable OF
Marsh & Ames, in Fargo, and has never
been seen since then. He seemed to be an
honest and gentemanly man, and there are
many conjectures as to his fate, but no in
formation.
The Democratic tide is rising at Bismarck
so rapidly that the prediction is found in the
Republican paper that in four years the terri
tory will give the Democrats a majority. II
is quite certain that Bismarck will vote with
the side that appoints the governors and
other officers.
The Helena Herald thinks that as Washing
ton andMontana territories elected Democrats
securing an enabling act 10 comprise them
all, and all three come into the Union to-
gether. The effort would seem to have
hopeful features.
The most notable social event Of the sea-
son at jamestown was the grand ball at the
opening of the Opera rink Monday night
There were present excursionists from Fargo
aud other towns along the line. About $50
people were ON the floor. Klaus, the other
Democratic war horse, set an elegant supper
for them.
The Bismarck Tribune SAYS that Major
Roach, OF the Grand Forks district, will be
the only Democrat in either house Of the leg
islature, since Ziebach turns out TO be de-
rod III
have occasion TO look over the Dakota legis-
lature for pegs to put into government holes,
he would not look in vain, provided the holes
were worth filling.
Two of the butchers of Fargo, Marelius and
Reynolds, made bet Of a fat bovine on the
election, the one who lost to lead the animal
through the streets, and the other to ride It,
In butcher uniform and carry a flag with a
band following. II is expected that Col
Morton will also appear in line with his
dozen trained ROSTERS. The candidates for
postmaster are requested 10 bring up the
rear in plstoons of eight. 1t is announced
10 take place on Broadway tonight.
The Daily Democrat reports that petitions
are in circulation in Fargo to give the post
Office to prominent citizen who has been
Democrat fully six days in the week, which
cannot be said of many now claiming TO be
of that political persuasion. 1t looks little
premature TO be reaching out after the loayes
and fishes, even il the early bird does catch
the worm. The present postmaster has only
two years 10 serve, and it may be that the
civil service notions will protect him till that
time Still, there is no reason why aspirsnts
should not enroll their friends in this way.
