Horse thieying is still profitable industry
in spite of occasional hangings. The coun-
try between the Missouri river and Glendive
has specially suffered. A Morton, in Stark

stolen from stable that was locked and had
two men sleeping in it,
| Regarding the bodies of the desperadoes

From our informant we learn that the bodies

R. n. Stevens, prominent attorney at
Lisbon, has the inside track for the legisla-
ture on the Republican SIDE The popular
Harcout, executor and capitalist, can have
the Democratic nomination, but his modesty
is so excessive that it is doubtful whether he
can be persuaded to take the post.
Sioux Falls argus: A prominent hotel
keeper of this city informs an argus reporter
that over $50 commercial men had been
taken out of the northwest within the past
sixty days. These are the class of men that
make the hotel business profitable, and
without their patronage it will be close pick
ing.

The Ortska Benefit says that large num-
| Der of its citizens will realize enough from
the fine crop of wheat this year to enable
them to spend the winter in the east, ex
planning that no country exists where health
and happiness abound so plentiful as here in
the land OF sunshine and balmy breezes, and
that they regret that they are obliged to spend
tine winters away.
| Delegate Raymond is industriously look
| ing after his political fences. He expresses
| himself as confident that he can pull through
at Pierre. His friends, he thinks, can ma
nipulate most Of the conventions in the
north, and the south will be divided, giving
| him a good share of its vote. He has nu-
merous postmasters, and has sent out seeds
and documents judiciously. He is apprehen
sive that Col. Donan may take the field as an
independent and combine all the opposi-
| ton.
The Alexandria Herald says: Hanson
county, the gem of the territory, is in the
midst of her harvest, Rye and barley have
been cut and stacked and in some instances
it has been threshed. Wheat is being cut
and bound by no less than two hundred self
binders owned in the county, besides numer-
Gus old fashioned harvesters are doing good
work. The grain was never in better or more
perfect condition. There has been no bad
storms, no hail and nothing but the most
favorable weather.

election last week, and the reformers viewed
the work OF midnight cabals and the county
was saved by about ten majority. The city
is divided into five wards and the total vote

disfranchised by holding claims. They stay
in town all the time, but have their residence
on claims The recent decision will make
them trouble. The population is estimated
at 1, 100.
The Dell Rapids Exponent hiss several col
umns of the losses by the recent storm in
that section, which probably appreciate some
hundreds of thousands of dollars. The moral
1t teaches is this:
The result indicates that all houses stron civ
built were not blown down. Even some of
the outhouses that were firmly staked to the
ground were not damaged. The proper adj
vice would be to build stronger houses.
Strength should come before size. Where a
family cannot build such house they should
make a safe dug-out in the ground large
enough to contain all the members of each
fomily.
Recent hsilstorms have been quite capri

one field and then skip quite distance
