ocratie paper, published at Miller, Hand county,
by c. C.. Haines s. Co.
Yermillion paper thinks Attorney General
Hughes must be corrupt because he is putting
| in his elegant residence at Bismarck glass S4x9i
in size.
The Huron Times says of the products in its
office: One onion measures over thirteen inches
in circumference; stalks of amber caue eight
and one-half feet; white dent corn stalks eight
feet high.
The Pilot, in Sargent county, says 1t is now
settled fact that branch is to be built from
Browns valley to junction with the Midland at
Ransom City. Work is being pushed vigorously
on the Midland railroad.
The attempt to involve DR.. Farley in trouble in
Sargent comfy, for practicing medicine without
proper credentials, has fallen through. jury
acquitted him, and the people there generally
look upon it as persecution aud spite work.
1t is said that there Is not single physician in
Benson county and Devils Lake. There will be
births enough there the next year to give profit
able employment TO one or two doctors. They
now send TO Devils Lake City, twenty-five to
forty miles.
This is Dakota sunfower, reported by the
Sully Wdtetnlaa: IN. NJ. Kenny, two miles up
the creek from Clifton, has a sunhower on his
place which bears 26S distinct heads and covers
circumference OF over thirty feet. y, no!
this Dakota soil will not grow anything.
Unless the prospect for the wheat market
changes materially there will be a much smaller
acreage in wheat in south Dakota next year. One
OF the papers says: ''What shall we raise in
stead Of wheat: is tho conundrum now numer-
ousiy propounded by our farmers, in view OF the
present and prospective state of the market
There are few counties in the south that
have not yet brought out candidate for con-
gress, but they all have material. 1t is expected
that the delegates from all the counties south Of
the forty parallel will hold caucus the day
before the Pierre convention and agree upon
their candidate.
The signal service shows q rainfall in Moorhead
and Fargo in August of 617 inches. This is
double the fall of that month in 1883, and the
heaviest in four years at least. The moan tenn
perature was Ga 3, which was abont four degrees
below the average Of former years The high
est point reached was 81 S, and the lowest 41.9.
Moorhead has its back up so high over the SC
ton of the Manitoba road in selecting GAINESVILLE
for its shops in place of Moorhead that it has re-
solved to go right ahead and build railroad to
Redwood Falls 10 connect with the Rock Island
system. This will give them good route to ST.
Paul, and the shortest it is claimed, to Chicago.
As the distance is over 200 miles, il will not be
completed hey ond Breckenridge this fall
Republican convention in the DEVILS Lake
land district has adopted this:
ReS0LUed, That we, as citizeus of Benson
county Dakota, condemn the course pursued by
the United States land officers at Devils Lake
Dakota and that all just and proper means be
used by US to effect change to the better, and
use all means in our power to secure reform in
favor of the people OF this county and land dis
trict.

The Helena Herald says: There is no disguis-
ing the fact that the Blackfeet reservation In
dams are dying one after another for the lack of
sufficient food. The sustenance they get is pitt
full at best, and nothing in proportion to their
| wants. They are only one removed from actual
starvation. The abnormal death rate, Temporal
lily checked by the berry season, will shortly
again show alarming proportions unless substan-
tial relief is provided at an early day.
The Vermillion Plain TdM SAYS: The late
rains, with the favorable weather following, in
sures to southern Dakota the largest corn crop
ever before harvested in this country The
acreage is nearly quite double the usual crop,
| while the yield promises to be equal to that of
| the best corn districts OF the west Eastern pa
PERI may talk of the bursting of the Dakota
| boom, but those who know realize that our ter
ritory never had so fattering a prospect before
her as she has at the present time
There was some objection raised in Benson
county to the fact that two of the candidates for
delegates to Pierre were Cleveland men. 1t is
! denied that Delegate Raymond prefers Cleveland
to Blaine although no is very cautious in his
utterances. The Blaine men have never been
able to induce him to take any part in or speak
| at their meetings, and it is known that he went
| to Chicago and worked against Blaine after the
Dakota convention had instructed for him. 1t is
predicted that in of the election of Cleveland
Mr. Raymond will be strong supporter of the
| administration.
This industry noticed by the Mitchell Repu5H.
can can no doubt be made quite profitable in south
Dakota: "a couple of Brule county capitalists
are preparing to establish canning factory for
corn, tomatoes, beans, peas and other vegetables
! They will have the vegetables raised on their
own land, manufacture the tin cans and fill them
for consumption in the Dakota market. Can
ming factories are probably among the best paw
! ing investments. The ease with which vegeta-
bles raised in this country is also an incen-
tive to this business. canning factory of large
capacity would find ready market for its goods

The DEVILS Lake Nelos relates this of Gen.
Sherman, which will hardly go into his biography:
During his recent visit to Fort Totten. he was
| caught in the wild, hilarious embrace of a COP
per colored belle, (who had doubtless been in
formed of his great hobby and before his aids

! good, squsre, old fashioned kiss on his lips The
| general gaZed at her for q moment as she
waltzed off, delcatelY raising her calico dress
| and displaying pair Of bright, blue soldiers
pants, and then took double distilled oath that
! his kissing business was bankrupt failure and
! that hencefortb he wouldn't kiss an angel with
! wings as long as a rail, unless he could be as
| sured that good Whit of her breath wouldn't
stop heavy freight train down grade It

The Northwest has good pointer in this for
| north Dakota farmers: 1--WE hope the big
wheat crop Of Dakota will not set farmers wild
on the subject of wheat, and cause them to
neglect other crops. Let them remember that
it is general farming that pays in the long run.
A one-crop country is always mortgaged coun-
try. Nothing looked well to our eyes. when
we traversed north Dakota early in August, as to
see the fields OF Indian corn, oats and potatoes
interspered with the big wheat fields We
should like to have seen more OF them, and also
more stock. 1t will pay TO keep cattle and cut
hay to feed them in winter. II anybody doubts
this, let him remember that stock-raising pays in
New England, where the winters are as long as
in Dakota, and the land is worth 500 per acre :"
DR.. Robertson, the noted popular stump orator
Of Fargo who received an invitation from the
state COMMITTEES of both parties in Indiana TO can
vass that state, has accepted that of the Cleve-
and and Hendricks committee, and will leave
next Monday to speak for the Democrats in In
diana and Illinois until the election. He has al
ways been Democrat, even when in the army,
and has several times plowcd the political fields
Of central and southern Illinois. He will do good
work and be valuable acquisition to the cam
paign forces of the Democracy. He has been in
vited by the Redpath lecture bureau to go upon
its staff and lecture during the winter and will
probably accept. 1t is dstressingly healthy in
Dakota, and the services Of physicians are chiefly
