purpose Of founding. schools and
stations, is a question of prime i'm.
portancs to the Territory and to
the Nation.
A bill for such a grant was intro
duced in the last session Of Congress,
by our then Delegate, Hon. R. f,
Pettigrew, and, as was the case with
hundreds of other bills, it was not
finally acted upon. It is understood
that our present Delegate, Hon. John
B. Raymond, will introduce this or a
bill for a similar purpose. It is to be
hoped that Congress will give the
bill a favorable consideration, and
thus literally provide for the encour-
agement Of a forestry system com.
mensurate with the needs Of the
Great Plains.

DakOta's Outlook.

Dakota is distined to be one of the
great states of the Union. The eli
mate is not nearly as severe in winter
as is commonly believed. Through
out Southern Dakota the thermome-
ter has averaged at least five degrees
higher than in Wisconsin, and the
air is so dry that the cold is not felt
SO much, There is comparatively lit
tie snow beyond the line. During
the rest of the year Dakota is an
Eden. It is surprising that there
has been SO little speculation in the
public lands in this Territory. The
explanation is that actual settlers are
SO eager for land that the spectators
have little chance at it. It is hard to
find q section within a dozen miles
of railroad that has not from twenty
to q hundred acres broken and much
ct it seeded. The sanguine settler
and ever settler is sanguine, fears
none of the usual disasters-he be
lieyes Dakota will always be exhempt
from danger and grasshopers, for the
Indian tells him that grasshopers
never invaded Dakota. It is reason
able to suppose that the Territory
will go through the usual Western
experience-that it will have it's
will have its boom and reactions, its
backsets and failures-but Dakota
land will always be valuable and will
always be as productive as any land
the sun shines on. 1t is a pity that
the young that are wearing out their
lives on a small salary could not all
be planted on the rich lands which
the government gives away. It is
believed that before the summer is
over every foot of land east of the
Missouri river in Dakota will be tax
en- by settlers. -Pie,re Signal.

Prohibition

This subject is attracting the atten,
ton of the American people at the
present time throughout the country.
1t is said by the political journals that
prohibition does not prohibit. That
there is more liquor sold now than
before, and they point to Maine as an
evidence of this. In Mains the Re.
publican party has Endorsed the prin-
ciple of prohibition in its platform,
in 1872 9. 80, and most emphatically
in 1882. There is not a distillery or
brewery In Maine; all have been sup
pressed by the law. Three-fourths
of the territory is practically free
from the traffic. The Portland Press,
lately declared that "in q large part
of our territory an entire generation
has grown up practically unacquaint-
ed with the liquor traffic and its Of
fects." It is we'll to consider why this
movement is taking so strong a hold
upon the thinking portion of the
people Of this country. If the facts
shauld be ascsrtained it would be
found that it is tue father whose sons
have gone into drunkards' and pau
pers' graves; the sons, whose fathers
have wasted their substance and
made their homes miserable through
the effect of whisky. It would be
well for the farmers of our land to
give this subject a careful considera-
ton and look back through their
lives and note the effects that whisky
has had upon their associate, and in
in view of this, and of the efforts that
have been made to control and regu-
late the traffic, whether there is any
other remedy than prohibition.

Bond, in telling her sad story In the court
room here, positively identified John c.
Montgomery as one Of her anailantA
Before her testimony was finished she
was attacked by hysteris and car
ried out by her mother and sister.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. G-The Post-Dispatch
special from Hfllsboro ssyA The first wit
ness in the Bond case wa Lawrence Helm
stein, uncle Of John c. Montgomery, he testi-
fed that as Mrs Pettis, her son, Lee Pet
tbs, and Clements returned from tho
house of Col. Bond, after they took Emma
Bond home on the morning after the outrage,
they stopped at his house, and Mrs. Pettis
told him about the affair. He wished Lee
Pettis to answer some questions, but he re-
fused to do 50; he then wanted Pettis and
Clements to alarm the neighbors but they
wouldn't. Witness went to the school house
at daylight n examined the loft where he
and q scarf pin. The latter VA Mentided as
belonging to Miss Bond. A hole ten inches
long and two inches wide was found freshly
cut in the weather boarding Just above the
small platform, on the west-end loft.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. ia dispatch from
Hillsboro, Ill, says: ':After two or three
unimportant witnesses had testified In the
Emma Bond trial. Burnsll, q convict from
the Chester, Ill, p~enitentiary, who is serving

on the stand. He testified that he IVA in jail
at Taylorville in the spring, and became No
quainted there with Montgomery, Pettis and
Clement. They were all I'M cell together,
and heard tho conversation between them.
Clement said that he had Let q toe-nail grow
long and had lost it in shocking corn In Juno:
Montgomery said: "You couldn't lose it
shucking corn in June" Some one read from
3 paper that Miss Bonds underclothes were
torn. Clement said that 1t was q d-n lie.
that they were not torn, and
Montgomery said: "shut up; what do you
know about itf' At this point Judge Thorn
the prosecution: "You may just as well rake
~peuitentiary. The introduction Of q witness
convicted Of one Of the highest crimes to
testify against men Of good standing is In.
famous and such testimony is wholly incom.
petent." He moved to exclude tho whole
testimony.
ST. LOUIS, No., Dec. 20-Ths Posi-, Dis
patch special from Hillsboro, Illinois, says:
In the trial Of the assailants Of Miss Emma
Bond the prosecution rested it's case. Judge
Thornton, for the defense, made two mo-
tions-one to exclude from the Jury al
testimony Of Swick and Heinlein tending Ia
show confessions on the part Of Montgomery;
the other to exclude the testimony as K
Clement and Pettis. These motions were
argued at length at the night session, and the
arguments were resumed In the morning.
At the close Of the arguments the court i'd
