Manager Smith of the Northern Pacific
Elevator Company al Fargo, the acreage of

is the low prices of this year. but the main
cause is the fact that continuous crops in

Another Charlie Ros. Case,

On the 10th Of April last, there disap-
peared from his home near Liberty,
Clay county, No., 16 year old lad
named John NJ. Brown, whose parents
have since made every exertion to find
him, but unsuccessful. 1t was under
stood at the time, that he went away
with one Henry Davis of about the
same age. The boys were traced as
far as Kansas City, where all track of
them was lost, and since then most
dilligent search through Kansas and
Missouri, has failed to lind them. The
boys mother is almost frantic with grief
and fear; she beng under the lmpres.

away with by the other lad. The

restoring to this grief stricken parent

tory. There is no little disappointment
over the result, knowing from Judge
Edgerton's former decision his position,
and the argument being decidedly in
supportsof that position. The chief
point in the case was that q territorial
legislature has no authority to delegate
power. and the fight was made on this
point. The Bismarck speculators feel
jubilant over winning the second heat,
and feel assured they will come out best
two of three. Honest government won
the first heat. Ordway's gang the second,
and the judges in the third and final
heat will be found in the United States
supreme court, who will decide which,
the people or the gang, are entitled to
the victory.

last fall, rendering judgment Of custer
against the commissioners. 1t was gener-
ally conceded he would be sustained by
the supreme court. but an entirely differ
ent phase of the matter now appears and
q more complicated state of affairs will
doubtless be the result. Immediately
after the action OF the supreme court in
reversing the decision of the lower court
an appeal was taken to the supreme
court of the United States, and Yankton
people claim this stops the removal of
the capital to Bismarck until the yexed
question is settled by that court. Judges
Hudson, Palmer and Church assented to
the reversal, Judge Edgelton dissenting.
At Bismarck big blow out was in order
Immediately after receiving the news,
special dispatches stating the people
were exultant at the "victery of Alex.
Mckenzie" and we're patiently waiting
for his return, when the largest reception
ever held in the territory would be given
him and Governor Ordway for what they
had done for booming Bismarck. Ii
