OFFICIAL PAPER OF STARK COUNTY
Entered ut the postotlice at Dickinson, Stark
County, Dakota, us second class matter.
Saturday, May II, 1854.

TIE Bad Lands Cow Boy says, con-
corning the Pennell & Roberts outfit
that loaded at Medora on the 5th
inst, call the wagons were loaded
light and slow time will be made as
it is not deemed economy to load
heavy or hasten on the initial trip"
Really, this is the funniest way of
economising that we ever heard of;
over a road that is a natural highway
and without distractions, you know.
AS the time of the National Repub-
lican Convention draws near, it be.
gins to appears more and more evil
dent that the successful candidate be-
fore the convention will be a dark
horse from some of the western states.
Arthur's strength has been wavering
sinceitwas found impossible to car
~ MS own state in the convention
without uniting with Edmunds' men
and he is practically out of the race.
Edmunds. although very popular in
New England, has too much of that
attraction of repulsion about him to
be a ~favorite in the party where he is
an acknowledged leader. He proba-
bly, has more judicial ability than
any other man in his party. He
hates political patronage above all
things, and the state he represents
never goes Democratic. From the
above facts it will be seen at once
that he stands no chance in the con.
v%ention. Blaine will have more sup
porters than any other man, but there
will be that same determined opposi-
ton against him that there was four
years ago, and his case is hopeless.
Lincoln may be the man upon whom
all the forces can unite. With such
a man as Joe. Hawley, of Connecti-
cut, for vice president it would not
make a bad ticket. However, the
dark horse stands the best chance at
Chicago on the Sd of June and we
may expect a repetition of the con.
ventions of 1875 and 1880, where
Hayes and Garfield were nominated.

Dear Sir:-Yours of the Goth ult. has
been forwarded to me by MI. w. II.
Winchester, of Bismarck.
Your school townships are in my
opinion duly and legally organized,
that is, if the elections have been
held according to law, and if the Off.
GERS are qualified as required. 1t is
true that the law says, school town.
ships may include as many as 1 con.
gressional townships, but it is not
meant to limit them to that area.
The tendency has been heretofore to-
wards small school corporations, and
the law is intended to encourage the
formation OF large ones You neeC
not hesitate to proceed with schoo
work in your townships with theil
present area. l am glad to know
that school matters are receiving
such prompt attention in your county

sale OF the Higgins Building.

Flint Bros. have bought the Higgins
| block on Main street which they have
occupied for several years for $1,000.
The property was bargained for for
81 500 but before deed was made
ont, George B. Walker telegraphed
Mrs. Higgins, who is in Massachusetts,
that he wOuid pay $500 for it. But
Mrs. Higgins did not see fit to sell to
him. When Walker sold the Grinnell
house to the savings bank he reserved
a right of way in the rear, but when
the bank erect building covering the
whole front of the lot this becomes
useless to him unless he can go 10

man Absalom safe 2" After showing
how Absalom was ruined it was said
that the young of day are helped on
to ruin by evil companions; per-
nicious literature, unhealthy amuse-
ments and Intoxicating drinks. Where
then is safety for our young men 7 H.
In obeying their parents. The rock on
which AbaslOm was wrecked was pa
rental disobedience. (2.) In a tenn
perate life, avoiding wine, beer and CT
der and the places where they are sold.
(3.) In showing true manliness oil
character. Aim high. az In sub
hitting to God and living Christian
life. Do right. Obey God and all
heaven will be interested in your
safety.
In conclusion it was remarked that
probably there was not another village
in New England as large as this so free
from temptations for the young. Who
will assist the trustees in keeping it so
The question of drink is the great
question of the day. The home is on
trial, and when it comes to the home
versus the saloon we should not de-
bate long where to stand and what to
do.
WANTS LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE.
Rev. G.. w. Jenkins preached SER
mon on temperance at the Universalist
church and said: ave have in YER
mont one of the best liquor laws that
could be enacted. 1t has done excel
lent service in all our smaller towns,
but in the larger towns the traffic still
goes on to great extent. There is
great need of public sentiment being
aroused in regard to this evil. Every
person should stand firmly and openly
on the side of order. right, and total
abstinence. We should enforce the
law aud make it so warm for every
dealer that they will be obliged to re-
linquish the degrading business. Let
our best citizens form law and order
league.
eve should all try from the side of
the moral and Christian virtues to
show to the seller and drinker there is
death and worse than death in the
pathway of rum. The best law in the
world can do little good unless we all
stand up to it, and with our hands,
heads, and hearts work, speak, and
pray for its enforcement"
