for $1,000. He stands 1911 hands,
weighs l,0Gj lbs, and is a bright chest

A MERCHANT of Cincinnati who has in
terests in this locality writes as fol-
lows:
"Would it not be well 10 send few
hundred copies of your valued paper to
the striking operatives at Fall River and
thereabouts? We read that 10000 are
now out of employment and more to fol-
low, owing to large reduction in their
wages. As many heads of families may
find it necessary to locate elsewhere it
being settled fact that the cotton mills
in New England can no longer compete
with those of the south, which are located
at the spot where the raw material is
produced, thereby saving cost of carriage
the strike will without question inHu-
ence emigration to other points. Many,
if the matter we're properly presented,
might be induced to locate permanently
on some of the fertile lands of Dakota,
and become agriculturists instead of op-
erat1ves. To accomplish this what can
be more influential than your valued pa
per? And I would suggest that the
board of trade of Bismarck take the
matter in hand and present the known
advantages of Burleigh county in their
best light to the strikers

ABOUT ten miles southeast of Bismarck
a Mr.. Jones settled upon a claim and
while excavating cellar for his house
struck an excellent vein of Ignite coal.
He completed the excavation, built his
house over it, and now when his fires
need replenishing he simply goes down in
the cellar and picks loose what coal he
needs. In the spring he will open the
vein near his house and have an mex
haustible supply of ex ,ellent fuel right
at his door.
A perfect network of veins of this ex-
celent coal seems to underlie this whole
country. It crops out on every hand,
and is struck by well-diggers with great
frequency. As a fuel it is superior to
wood and is found in such quantities
that it will supply the entire country, no
matter how thickly it may be populated.
It's great quantity and the ease with
which it can be mined will render it
very cheap, and the many localities in
which the veins are encountered will
bring it right at the doors of every neigh
borhood in North Dakota.

THERE has been introduced in the house
and referred to the committee On public
lands, a bill of great personal interest to
the settler on the public domain, under
the homestead law. The homestead law
as it now stands requires an amount OF
continuous residence that is inconsistent
with common sense and the necessities of
the settler. Immediate residence upon
wild prairie is poor economy and yet the
law commands it and the executive branch
of the government enforces it. BY arule
of the department the settler is given six
months within which to establish his
residence, but there is no rule granting
a leave of absence in the very probable
event that the settler gets around to his
land in October, November or December.
It takes some patience and money tohold
down claim when there are six months

The reaction has already begun in the
Ceur d'Alene excitement. and many sad
der but wiser men are returning to their
homes kicking themselves vigorously,
and expressing a desire. to have their
friends join them in the vigorous exer-
else. The golden bubble has been
pricked and the mortals who rushed for
ward with dreams of quickly acquired
wealth painting vivid pictures in their
brains are, as has been predicted they
would soon be, making their way back as
best they can. An evidence of the col
lapse of the glittering bubble is now
found in the absence of the sensational
and highly colored reports with which
the press was flooded few weeks since.
These have almost entirely disappeared
and in their stead we find plain state
ments of facts written by men who have
been drawn into the maelstrom and who
are anxious to do all in their power to
prevent other victims from sharing like
fate. One poor dupe writes back to his
home paper: 'It is the greatest blk the
country has known since the Arizona dia-
monad excitement" Another says: s.I
have only seen one claim that is paying,
since my arrival. I have my own drain
down fifteen. feet and have not raised
color. I would advise all who have the
fever to go slow"
There are persons in the mines who are
making money, and plenty Of money,

but they are the dealers in merchandise,
liquid and otherwise. The prices given
by one Of these merchants in q letter to
his partner in Montana are as follows:
Brown sugar, 40 cents q pound (none in
camp; coal oil, $8 per gallon; rubber
boots, $40 per pair; -four $45 sack; No.
8 cook stoves, $3.50 each; whisky (poor
quality, SO gallon 25 cents a drink !;
potatoes almost worth their weight in
gold; and so on through the list. Deal
ers in these articles have kept up the
excitement and are getting rich, but
those who have been duped are now talk
ing and the scene has changed.

The floods which are now sweeping
down the Ohio valley and the country
adjacent thereto, are fearful almost be-
yond comprehension. The mad waters
come pouring down IN an irresistible tor
rent which nothing can check, sweeping
away houses, fences, barns, stock, human
beings and everything that can be moved.
Railways are swept away as if they were
but cork. Much suffering always follows
these annual floods, and the charity of
the people when called upon responds
always with cheerful and sympathetic
alacrity. It is hoped the present food
has reached it's height, but the wild wa
ters may 20 yet higher, in which case
the damage will be fearful.

of unadulterated idleness as part Of the
programme. There is only one breaking
season year and the settler must await
it's occurrence before he can do anything
that counts. Hence the wisdom of q
provision fixing the time allowed settler
wherein to build house and do what
ever breaking he can; also the soundness
of the policy Of the further provision that
excuses continuous residence during
certain months of the year when farming
is impossible The text of Mr.. Raymond's
bill is as follows:
That any person who has made, or who shall
hereafter make, an entry of any of the public
lands Of the United States under section 2289,
(the original homestead aot) of the revised stat
utes of the United States, shall be entitled to
one year from the date of such entry within
which to establish an actual residence upon the
land thus entered: Provided, That he shall
build q habitable house thereon and break or
plow not Less than five acres of ground: And
provided further, That the absence of the claim
ant from his homestead for any period of time
during the months of December, January, Feb
ruary and March of each year, for the purpose
of securing employment, shall not prejudice his
right to make proof and payment, as now pro-
vided by law.

TIE Salt Lake Tribune thinks it has
thoroughly scanned the future railroad
horizon, and says that @the election Of
Robert Harris superintendent of the
Northern Pacific, taken in connection
with the fact that Harris was taken from
one of Gould's railroads, with the san
guine picture that Jay Gould draws of
railroad products, indicate very strongly
that hereafter the Northern Pacific is to
be Gould railroad. Considering the
terms of the pool between the overland
roads, it would not be strange if it should
prove to be a Gould and Huntington
road. The policy of the Central Pacific
has always been to guard the approaches
to San Francisco, both from the sea and
the land. The completion of the North
ern road is the first real break that has
been made in that control. It would be
but natural desire on the part of the
owners of the only really through lines
to counteract the effect of that if possi-
BILE. Manifestly the only possible way
to accomplish the task is to gain control
of the rival road. Maybe that has been
done. Maybe that is why the war was
made on Willard just when he was cele.
brating his great triumph. OF course
the land rates could be fixed by pool,
but there is the ocean beyond, and the
Northern company has six magnificent
ships all ready to place on the China and
Australian lines. Moreover, the North
ern Pacific runs through region which
will make it the greatest of overland
roads. It looks as though it was prob
able that the men who have been chiefs
are still to be chiefs" Of course this is
but mere guess on the part of the Salt
Lake paper. It will probably find that
the Northern Pacific cannot he gobbled
by the voracious Gould quite SO easily
as the rooster gobbleth the unsuspecting
bug from the sweet potato vine.

Stories of Andrew Jackson.

When jackson was President, Jimmy
O'Neill, the Irish doorkeeper of the
White House, was a marked character.
He had his foibles, which often offended
the fasidiousness of the Presidents
nephew and Secretary, Maj. Donelson,
who caused his dismissal on an average
of about once a week. But on appeal
to the higher court the verdict was al
ways reversed by the good nature Of the
good old General. Once, however, jim
my was guilty of some fragrant
ofcnse, and, being summoned before
the President himself, was thus
addressed: Jimmy, I have. borne
with you for years in spite of all COM
plants; but this goes beyond my pow
ers of endurance" "And do you be-
teve the story?" asked Jimmy. Ger

Just heard it from two Senators.
Faith" retorted Jimmy, eff I he,
Heyed all that twenty Senators say
about you, it's little I'd think you was
at to be President. "Pshaw, Jimmy"
concluded the General, "clear out, aud
go back to your duty, but be more care
full hereafter" Jimmy not only re-
tanned his place to the close of Jackson's
Presidential term, but accompanied him
back to the Hermitage, and was with
him to the day of his death.
Gen. Jackson had very little love or
taste for poetry, his favorite author be-
ing Dr. Isaac Watts, from whose
Psalms and Hymns he used to make
his selections for the inscriptions in the
ladies' albums which were once SO fash
ionable, when they were sent him with
