HOrfhIcesferh Notes.
The Devils Lake Democrat is expected to
appear about Dec. l.
Hon. John Sobieski, a noted temperance
lecturer, is making tour through southern
Dakota.
Brookings has roller mill, and is erecting
tow mill and wants creamery. 1t is an
ambitious town.
Col. Parker is trying to secure a telephone
from Devils Lake to Condo in Towner, in ad-
vance of a railroad
The Montana papers make the council
Democratic and house Republican, with a
majority for the latter on joint ballot.
The following will show the vote of some
the principal towns in south Dakota; Yank-
ton sl9, Aberdeen SOC, Huron Csc, Redfeld
4S3, Bookings BOG, Mitchell COB, WATERFOWL
3S3, Sioux Falls l, lib.
The friends of Mr.. Twomey, the sole rep
resentative of Cass county, are suggesting
his name for president of the council. He
has had experience to fit him for the position,
having been superin tendent of a Sunday
school.
Since the result of the election there are a
great number Of men in Dakota who are
pleased at being termed Democratic war
horses. If President Cleveland has need Of
their services, there will be no neigh Qng)
wherever the feed is good.
The jubilee meeting of the Democrats at
Huron was greatly annoyed by the bad man
ners of a lot of Republicans in yelling for
the late candidates, and kept it up until
some Of the more sensible ones interfered
and persuaded them to allow the meeting to
go on.
The townsite company has offered prize
of town lot and $500 in cash for the first
boy baby born in Dunseith. Two or three
families there will compete for the prize.
This is not limited TO present residents and
should cause quite little rush to the Turtle
mountain capital.
A party of eight recently left La Moure to
return to England, homesick, especially two
young women who have spent two seasons
in that county and allowed to remain single.
The fact is not creditable 10 the young men
of La Moure unless the maidens were espe-
cially unattractive.
1t is assumed that President Cleveland viii
feel bound by the platform and select DI-
kota officers from the territory. Among the
most prominent names suggested for gov
ernor is j. r. Wilson, the candidate for con-
gress He would give great satisfaction If
he should be the choice.
Among the dispatches sent after the cleo
ton was this to Sanborn by a prominent cit
izen of Cooperstown: "Little Miss Pickett
sends greeting to her Sanborn friends.
Mother and daughter doing well, and l think
/ will null through all right -
H. G. PICKETT.
In his notice to the governor, Hon. Alex.
Hughes says that the building contemplated
in the legislative act has been erected and
completed. 1t has been supposed that the
present edifice was only wing or part of the
structure. If the contract with the territory
is complete some will inquire what is to be
done with. the residue of the land donated.
Minor, in Sargent county, is the cham
pion on voting casting nearly as many bal
lots as it has population, and now comes to
the front with skating rink, 40xl00 feet,
which is handsomely equipped, and the To-
cal paper says at the dedication the young
ladies all wore gold bands and little bells on
the ankles. The young fellows we're all
charmed.
III Walworth county Bangor secured the
county seat by 232 votes to So for Scranton
and 101 for lie Beau, and yet three weeks
before the election it was unbroken prairie,
not even a shack on it. Even the newspa-
per was printed in tent, but the townsite
owners are happy. They have way of Sc
curing votes that would be invaluable TO a
political party.
The La Moure Chronicle finds comfort in
this fact, which is certainly a credit to the
county: ''While LaMoure county cannot
feel satisfied with the price of wheat she has
good reason for being proud of the record
made by the grain raised on her soil. This
county leads the world, as regards the quail
ity of her wheat, according to the report of
the bureau of chemistry Of the department
Of agriculture. ~
Although the Continental was the best
hotel in Fargo, and admirably kept, it was
inferior to either of the frst-class hotels at
Moorhead, and not up to the demands of so
enterprising a city Fargo. Now that it is
gone, there is no doubt that new structure
will soon be put up that Will meet the re-
quirements. Big fires are often blessings in
disguise to a town. In this case the disguise
seems perfect to those who lost all their
clothing and valuables in the fire Monday.
