One of the most credtable exhibits at
the fair is that N sds by Jacob Andes of
Willow Spout. He has hoes, horse Shoes
butcher knives, axes, breast chains, &C.,
all of the'best workmanship and finish. The
admirable part IS that these things are all
the workmanship of his own hands, made
at his anvil with his hammer and tongs.
The exhibit is worthy Of a critical exami-
nation.
Among the swine exhibit is very rare
pen of hogs which attracts much atten-
ton. There are SIX of them, Berkshires
seven months old. and as handsome lot
of pokers as one often sees ready, for the
knife now. They are exhibited by Mr..
John G. Whitlock, of Folly Mills, and took

Bismarck Tribune: A report of o
narrow escape from drowning on Tues
day came to the Tribune yesterday morn
ing, the individual who stood upon the
brink of eternity being one John Taylor,
who lives on the east bank of the Mis-
souri, about forty miles north of Bis
marck. The story is one Of unusual in
terest and thrilling sentiment. Taylor
had been chatting with several Indians
who were sneaking around in the woods
and had bid them goodbye. The Indians
started out on the river IN their canoes
and when about twenty rods from shore
they beckoned Taylor to follow
them. Having nothing in particular to
do. Taylor jumped in his small boat and
rowed to the point where the indians
were awaiting his arrival. The redskins
appeared to be in a jocular mood, as they
wore broad, expressive grins, and Taylor
thought at first they wanted to race
with him. Much to his surprise, upon
reaching them one of the squaws leaped
over into his boat ard with lond, defiant
laughter began to rock the frail craft
from eide to side. BY this time he be.
came somewhat alarmed, and was about
to row back to shore, when the boat cap.
sized, throwing himself and the sqnaw
into water at least fifteen feet
deep and a terrible current His cries
for help, together with the yelping OF
the much surprised squaw, attracted the
attention of neighboring woodman,
named Charles Boynton, and by the
way, the writer's informant, who rushed
to the shore with gun in hand and
pointed it at the Indians, who immedi
ately went to the rescue of Taylor. The
squaw was also saved after her biennial
bath, and all brought to shore, where the
Indians explained that the matter was
all a joke and was carried farther thar
they had intended. Boynton said that
he believed the dusky iokers, as they
were we'll known to be friendly. How
ever, if they had not been hastened il
the rescue at the point of the gun, Mr.
Taylor would now be on his way to tht
Gulf Of Mexico.

Flandrau Herald: The particulars OF
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Farris being struck

Mr.. Farris, wife and babe, two months old
occupied bedroom on the ground hool

his brother, slept up stairs. About :
o'clock he was awakened by the storm
and soon after plainly saw the lightning

answer he hastened down to their room
where he found them both in an insensi

unconscious. A few applications of tn

tore the pillows into pieces and scattere

"Palnud," tue Dakota representative
of the Chicago Inter Ocean, extends to
Judge Edgerton we'll merited tribute
which we take pleasure in reproducing.
He writes:
It is significant aud WORTHY Of note
under the circumstances that the Judi
cial act giving Ordway his liberty was
the decision of Judge Edgerton whose
absolute impartiality and incorruptibil.
ity may be affirmed in this instance
without fear of contradiction by the
Ordwayites, who ale delighted beyond
measure at the unexpected escape OF
their chief SO easily from the clutches of
q law powerlsss to hold HIM because of
what should style in this case, "the
(damnable) divinity that doth hedge" the
kingly governor of territory of the
United States.
What speaks more eloquently than
anything else could of the confidence re-
posed by this people in Judge Edgerton
is that so far no one has been found to
SO as much as intimate that the decision
quashing Ordway's indictment was due
to any other influence than the sound
conclusions of on upright judge who re-
spects and reads the law as he finds it.
Chief Justice Edgerton, by his deci-
sion in the capital commission case, en-
phasized by his dissent, standing singly
and alone, from the affirmative decision
OF oil his associates on the supreme
court bench, overriding the previous de-
cision rendered by Judge Edgerton in
the court below, has endeared himself to
the people of Dakota. HIS decision III
the present case, although perforce the
act sets at liberty the urcll-criminal OF
Dakota, sterling integrity. exhibits that
rare courage of conviction and of purpose
which never fails him in the discharge OF
his judicial duties.
I am sure that bis dissenting opinion
in the capital commission case will justi.
fy the position of Judge Edgerton IN
popular opinion and public sentiment.
Though honest judges do not court
the praise of those whom they serve
the rare qualities of heart and mind
possessed by the gentleman

Improved Educat.onal Fnc,l,t,.s,

pleasure in informing our citizens that

come convinced that this is an excep.
tienally good place to erect an academy
Of the higher branches. He has, in his
contract for suitable grounds, bound
himself to put up building the first
year to cost not less than $4,000, aud
all that he asks of tho town or the
school district is to pledge him $1,000 q

character will enhance the value of real

more than the building of dozen rail-
roads could do, and as it will cost the
