COLORED CONFERENCE.
An Interesting And Exciting Time
Expected i'll Their Dis
nuccioug
cussiOns.

PIrTsBURG, Pa, April 28.-The national
conference of colored men which conyencs
in this city tomorrow promises to be one Of
unusual and lively interest. The Illinois,
Indiana, New Jersey, Rhode Island and
Philadelphia delegations have arrived and
others will reach here in time forthe opening
Of the convention tomorrow morning. The
convention viii meet In the select council
chamber, owing to the neglect Of the local
committee to secure a suitable hall. A party
of the local committee on the matter
has resulted in the general COM
mtttee Withdrawing their credentials and
appointing new delegates from Allegheny
county. The old delegates will present their
credentials and demand recognition and il
not accorded, they will make a vigorous pro-
test. The object Of the conference, as stated
by C.. s. Smith, Bloomfield, HIS, is to Sc
cure to the colored people, north and south,
the recognition under the laws, which they
are entitled.
The questions prepared for discussion ara
"Necessity and value of organiZatiOn,"
sOur grievances, their nature and remedy"
E'our political statues" AN effort it is said,
will be made to introduce politics into tbs
conference, but Mr.. Smith says, the majorit-
ty will be able to confne the movement 10
the objects for which the conference WIS
called. About q hundred delegates will ID
Dresent.

Bonanza Farms ana Earmars.

There Is no doubt that bonanza farms have
lone good service in advertising the belt Of
country through which the Northern Pacific
runs, but as a permanent thing it Is coming
to be believed that they are not the best for
the Development Of the country, or even the
most reliable source of profit to the owners.
The tendency is to divide them into smaller
farms. The Walsh Times in discussing the
subject, says: "It is likely that the work of
breaking, blowing, seeding, harvesting or
threshing may be somewhat less per acre
than on small farms. But 1t is very hard to
convince those who are acquainted with the
way in which their work Is lone that they see
as much wheat to the acre as most good
farmers In the country. Their work is said
to be dom carelessly and in a %slovenly and
wasteful manner. 1t Is not hard to un der
stand that a good farmer working his own
land will save a larger yield than the average
hired man. There Is no place where the one
man power Is more fruitful of good results
than on the farm. The general impression Of
business men is that these large farms are not
paying. With the yield and price Of 1881
they should have made money, but with a
much less yield in 1872 and 1873 and q differ
ence of 20 to % cents q bushel in price, it Is
not believed that they have done anything
more than keep square, if they have sue
ceeded in doing that. There is one cenclu
sion however which all assent to-, and that is
that such farms are a curse to the localities
in which they are situated. The land is be-
inc exhausted as much as possible and the
country is not being improved. 1t is not
necessary to enter into any discussion of the
question. Whatever population there may
be consists of a homeless, shifting, wander
ing horde, without any interest in the place
where they have merely alighted for a few
days. With the exception perhaps of a few
foremen OF overseers, the employees are up
and off at the. end of the season. Those who
remain are too few to accomplish anything
and have no special interest in making what
are merely temporary homes more pleasant,
homelike or valuable. The owners are non
residents. If they make any money it is
mainly spent elsewhere.

A terrible accident befell a lone, but
braye and plucky woman in the vicinity of
Tower City. The Tower City Herald of April
%, narrates the event thus:
''On Thursday afternoon, the children Of
Mr.. shinn, living fourteen miles northwest
of Tower City, raked up a pile Of refuse and
fired 1t, this the wind soon spread to the dead
grass, and a roaring prairie FIRE was ID re-
suit. Mrs. Shinn, with a determination to
save her home-her husband being in town
ran out and began fighting the fire as best
she could. Her clothing soon caught on fire
and she was completely enyeloped In the
flames, but with true Spartan courage and
woman's devotion, she rushed iuto a slough,
near at hand, put out the fire On her person
and then, unmindful Of her severe burns,
resumed the fight and put the fire out, be-
fore lying down. Word was brought to town
and DR.. Russell fastened to the scene eff the
accident. Mrs. Shtnn was found to be terri
bly, burnt, nearly all OF her clothing having
been consumed-the only parts remaining
on her person were the Wristbands of her
skirts and portions of the front Of her dress
and wrapper, held by the buttons at the
neck. Her s~ufferings from the severe burns
cannot be described. DR.. Russell returned
Thursday afternoon from Mr.. Shinn's and
reports Mrs. Shinn as resting easy, consider
ing her injuries, and the prospects Of recoy
cry are very favorable.

i Red Ricer Curt.

Jamestown Capital; A curiosity as inter-
esting as anyi In a museum went through our
streets this afternoon, in the shape of an old
fashioned Red river cart. The vehicle was
all OF wood, the wheels t~ireless, the low, tlat
box surrounded by a wooden railing and
decorated with Arctic pelican's wings. The
cart was filed with a variety Of old traps
which probably constituted the entire world
ly goods and possessions Of the owner apart
from the squaw who walked behind, the pony
that drew the machine and the dog that
skulked at the pony's heels. A string Of
bells around the horses neck informed the
public that the outfit was approaching, and
many spectators enjoyed the novel sight.
The Indians were on their annual spring mi
grafton from Sisseton to Fort Totem.

rns,rich. Edn,nnds County.

The Tribune of Ipswich, in Edmunds coun-
ty, makes this statement of the remarkable
growth of that place: ''No town in central
Dakota has ever enjoyed such a huge boom
as has Ipswich during the past six months,
and even the editors of this paper have to
consult their files to realize that the first
building on Main street was placed there the
10th Of last September. To-day Ipswich is a
town, containing 200 buildings and has a
population Of over 500 people. The spring
boom, which brings with it a certain sense Of
excitement, only felt and appreciated by q
Dakotaian, has reached US, aud add to the
iyeliness of our thriving city. One hundred
and three cars of emigrant movables have
already arrived; our two daily trains come
filed to overlooking with visitors, and Agent
Stowe informs US that the cash receipts from
freight charges and ticket sales at this station
for the second week in April amounted to
something over S13, O00.''

For 4,th,tr and the Winner.

There have been limitations in some Of
the papers and dispatches that the Dakota
delegates to Chicago elected at Huron will
vote for Arthur and not Blaine as instructed.
This Is not true. The mass of the conven-
ton were earnest Blaine men, and the dele
gates will obey its voice until they discover
who the winning man is to be, when they
will be found there. They are personally
Arthur men, as are nearly all the leaders of
the successful combination, but they don't
mean that Dakota shall be left. If Edmunds
seems to be the man they viii be a large unit
for him. Among the most active and saga
cious wire pullers about the Huron body was
Alex Mckenzie, the great Bismarck Demo
crat and rustler. He is credited with the dis
coyery that the two or three half breeds in
the Bad Lands county of McHenry needed
representation and Hon. Waldo ". Potter,
the veteran newspaper man, did honor to that
county and himself in the able and brilliant
manner in which he represented his %constit-
uents, buffaloes included.

1,co Farmers Drowned.

The Port Emma Times has q detailed &C
count of the drowning of two farmers at that
point last week in crossing the James. 1t
saws: s'James B.. Rowe, Elnathan Woodland
Josiah Smith and Dinnie Hillock, started to
cross the river in a row boat, and when
about half way across the swollen stream the
boat capsized, throwing them into the water,
when the two first named sank to rise no
more. Mr.. Woodland could not swim and
was not heard to speak after getting in the
water. Mr.. Rowe was a good swimmer, and
started for the shore, and called for help.
The last words he said were, "Oh, my Cod"
His cap was found floating upon the water.
Both men had on overcoats. Mr.. Smith, by
great Rpresence of mind, saved himself by
placing his fingers upon the board they had
used for an oar, which enabled him to keep up
until the boat came to the surface. BY plac-
ing their hands npon the bottom of the boat
Smith and Hilloek floated along Town stream
until 7. L. Walker and w. w. Youmans
reached them with another boat. Mr.. Walker
was closing up his store and starting to din
ner when he heard cries for help, Mr.. You
mans being near they were the first to reach
the river. By skilful management they sue
| ceeded in getting the two men in the boat
! and rowed them to the west shore. Mr.

An Illinois Cotonist.

E. H. Conibear, an Illinois newspaper
man, who is looking up homes for emigrants
from his state in Dakota, was in Fargo a day
or two ago on his return from Mclean coun-
ty, north Of Bismarck, where he examined
the coal banks and was impressed with the
belief that a better quality than the Ignite
would be found farther from the surface.
He invested there and goes back to work up
a colony for that section. The Bismarck
Tribune says of him:
cone of the many feasible and broad
guage schemes which he will inaugurate on
his return, is an excursion to Bismarck, which
will con sist Of a train load Of the young, en-
ergetic men of Illinois, together with their
wives and sweet-hearts. The excursion will
reach Bismarck on the Fourth Of July, when
the citizens of the capital city will see that
the visitors are properly entertained. AS be-
fore stated, Mr.. Conibear has already brought
over one hundred families to Dakota, and the
only regret he expresses is that he did not
visit the Missouri valley before. He is i'm
migrant agent for seventeen counties in Hi
nois and his labors extend throughout the
entire state as we'll as the adjoining com
monwealth. The people whom he will bring
to the northwest are industrious, intelligent
and progressive, and the people of the terri
tory are to be congratulated upon the acqui-
sition of so valuable a champion"

German Colonu in Mercer COUNTY,.

Parties interested in locating colonies in
Mercer county, just west of the Missouri
river and north of the Northern Pacific, put
forth this statement in regard to the new
German colony:
''The 10th day OF April viii moi be forgot
ton by all those who were present at Mercer
City, Mercer county, Dakota, when all the
new corners from Missouri, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Minnesots, and old Europe arrived at
their new point of destination. The first
impression which the new place and its sur
roundings made was a favorable me-, and as
the people never had seen the place where
their future home was to be, they expressed
thanks to the officers of the new colony for
locating them at a place where the outlook
for their prosperity was so favorable. They
all believe that this section of Dakota VIII
eventually make a happy home for thous-
ands. The careful examination Of the land
gave a very satisfactory result. The soil has
this deep black color which is known to pro-
duce the world famous ''No. 1 hardn of
north Dakota; the climate is healthy and
the water free from alkali, and the timber
along the Knife protects their site from the
strong n%orthwesterly winds.

SAFE BURGLARY.
Meyer & Gall Robbed and Some OF
Their Goods damaged.

Their Goods Damaged.
The willy midnight gopher came to the
front again in st. Paul early yesterday morn
ing, and he got In his work, but not 10 any
great extent, as usual of late the haul being
very light. About 3 o'clock yesterday morn
ing two knights of the drill and jackscrews
called at the tailoring establishment OF Meyer
d Gall, No. 1858 jackson street, and they eff
fected an entrance without knocking at the
door or waiting for an invitation to come in.
As is the custom with cracksmen they sought
the rear Of the store and obtained entrance
by forcing an iron shutter. There was no
light in the store, and once within, the work
of cracking the safe was easy. The work Of
blowing open the safe, an old fire-proof af-
fair, was accomplished in the most approved
method. A hole was drilled in the top of the
safe and a heavy charge of powder inserted;
then a slow match was applied and the doors
we're blown completely off. The charge must
have been very heavy as the doors were blown
several feet from the safe, and the books and
sles in the receptacle were badly scorched.
In cracking the safe the burglars spoiled a
great deal of handsome wooden cloths used
~ suitings and the cost of which is estimated
at over $500. This they dampened and then
rolled it around the safe to deaden the sound
of the explosion.
After taking out the money drawer, which
contained about $25 in money and a number
of papers and notes, the burglars left the
premises. Proceeding to the excavation on
Fifth street, between Jackson and Sibley
streets, they commenced to overhaul the
c~ontepts of the drawer when they were de-
tected by a private Waterman named Snow.
The latter advanced to where the men were
when they dropped the drawer and started to
rum. He called on them to halt, and as the
command was not obeyed he fired a couple
of shots, but the men escaped in the dark
ness. Chief Clark was Informed of the af-
fair, and he and Capt. Bresett were on the
grounds IN a few minutes, and all the detec-
tives were put on the case.
Yesterday afternoon Chief Clark and De-
tective O'Connor visited Minneapolis for the
purpose of looking at a couple of hard char
acters who were run in yesterday morning.
The men are a cross between professional
burglars and tramps, and in their possession
was found a couple Of drills, the size of
which corresponded with the hole In the
safe. The men are supposed to be the right
parties, but the Minneapolis authorities re-
fused to give them up.

His Business Reputation Damaged

In a complaint filed yesterday in the dis
trict court Frank j. Johnson asks that he be
awarded So, 900 for an alleged libel by one
Andrew Schoch in advertising him as a
''dead beat'' in a newspaper of this city
known as the Merchants Protective Reporter,
the business of which is, as its name i'm
plies, to point out to the mercantile com
munity persons who habitually fail to liquid
ate their just Indebtedness. Mr.. Johnson
asseverates that the injury was done him in
publishing his name among others under the
following head; ga list of ~delinquents as
given by the retail dealers of the city-John-
son., Frank j., American Manufacturing
company, residence 232 Nash" meaning by
this that he was one of the numerous class
commonly known as ''dead beats,'' and thus
%wrongfully and untruthtully damaging him
to the extent of $4,000, which he prays the
court to award him.

..The Pz,,n Trafn.o

The Hope Pioneer vouches for incidents
like these which would not be creditable in
any other climate: 1T is said that one day
last week, while the plug train was Oh its way
from sanborn to Cooperstown, two Of the
passengers being in somewhat Of a hurry to
reach their destination, stepped out Of the
coach and hired a man passing by with an
OK team to take them on. They saved
fourteen hours by the operation. At another
time when the passenger train was bound
south and running at a high rate Of speed, a
feroclous bull was met, and both endeavored
to pass on the same track, but it was of no
use. everybody on the train was soon con-
WINGED OF that, and all hands turned out and
carried the train around the bull and put it
on the track again, thus probably averting
what may have proved a terrible railroad ac-
cident. We hardly believe this, but IN
doubtedly they exercise great care in the
running of trains on that road.

THE Turtle Mountnin Country.

This from the DEVILS Lake Pioneer Press
accords with other information in regard to
the Turtle mountain section: ED. Hurl-
burt and Doc. Snyder returned Tuesday from
a prospecting tour through the Turtle noun
tains. They say they saw all there is to be
seen and were pleased with the country.
They visited the coal fields and say that there
are fine prospects for coal but that matters
are stagnated there at present as the manag-
ers are east, it is thought, perfecting the til
tie to their land. Lots of claims are held
and jealousy watched by parties with win
chesters, and while they say nothing in par
ticular so attractive or mineral, there is a
general opinion prevailing that the parties
having control of them know more than they
care to have the public know at present, and
there is gold ss we'll as coal in that vicinity.
