Perished in the Snow.

DENVER, COL, Sept. 26.-Miss G. 1. Welton,
a wealthy young lady of New York city, per.
ished in storm last Tuesday night while de-
scendipg I.opg's feake. Miss Welton had
been spending the season at Colorado Springs,
visiting Pixies Peak and other points Of inter-
est Four weeks ago she went to Estes Park,
stopping at hotel. Monday evening she
walked over to the house Of guide named
Lamb, living at the foot of the peak, and on
gagged son Of Mr.. Lamb, nineteen yesrq Of
age. to act as guide ip ascending tho peak next
morning. At 6 o'clock Tuesday morning they
left the house and safely ascended The peak,
but encountered fierce snow storm Oh their
return, during which the lady became COM
pletely chilled. Young Lamb assisted her in
the descent until about 9 at night, when her
strength entirely failed and he carried her half
a mile, when, finding his own strength failing,
he told her that tn? only chance Of saving the
life Of either was for him to leave her and go
to his fathers house, seven miles distant, for
assistance. He left her at 10 O'Clock and re-
turded with assistance at 4 Wednesday morn
ing, finding the lady frozen to death. The re-
mains were taken to Longmont, and will be
sent to New York. A heavy snow storm pre-
walls in the mountains tonight.

ing active interest in the election Of members
OF the legislature influenced by the roads. The
Larimore Pioneer says: 1T is reported and
backed by good men that such an attempt is
being made by the Manitoba road. It is said
this company is pushing the interests of GER
tain Grand Forks candidate for the council,
and Nelson county candidate for the assem-
bly,, and is furnishing money for tho campaign.
II such can be true, Or il reasonable suspic-
ion OF such a state of things is entertained,
these men should never be elected. Legisla-
tors ought to be above even suspicion. We
trust the charges can be shown entirely untrue.
But If they should be found correct, or if the
legislation should be manipulated by the rail-
road, nothing would then stop wave Of in
dignation over the entire territory, the result
OF which would be hot headed legislation
against the railroads and injury to the country"

Minneapolis Market.

-
In its weekly review Of the Minneapolis mar
ket the Pioneer Press says:
There has been steady demand for good
milling wheat all the week, and the Eillers
have been buying every day Oh the open board,
picking up all tho good lots they could find.
Prices for all good samples have been well
maintained, and the market was firm yester
day. Holders Of hard wheat have not been
able to obtain all advance, but have been very
firm IN their prices. If the next week does
not show greater proportion of hard wheat
In the new arrivals, prices for that grade will
doubtless 60 higher. Stacking is nearly all
completed, and there is little wheat yet left to
be threshed from the shock. The receipts
during then week or ten days will be wheat
threshed from the stack, and upon the condi-
ton OF that much depends. The mills are all
pegging away, doing very good business.
Some of them are running day and night to
fill orders, and tho output for the present week
will be largo. The total output last week was
not far from l25,OO0 barrels. The shipments
were lSl,OS9 barrels, the largest of any one
week OF this year. There is an improved de-
mand for flour, and while prices have not ad
Vanced, millers are more firm in their views.
Sales are at outside quotations, and future Or
ders are not accepted at present prises."

Coal in Dakota.

The Dunseith Herald says: Coal, 80 much
needed throughout Dakota, is now known h
exist in abundance in many places in the
Turtle Mountains, mora accessible in some
places than in others. 1t is semi -bituminous,
burning steadily evenly and almost entirely;
leaving scarcely any ashss, and If once on fire
water Willnot putt out unless we'll smothered.
1t burns with an intense heat, and in tests
with the best Ohio COAL eight pounds of 1t gave
as much heat and lasted an hour longer than
the Ohio coal. 1t has been used with entire
SUCCESS and satisfaction in both heaters and
ranges and no unpleasantness il experienced
from gases. 1t holds its FIRE with superior
tenRcity, and produces heat sufficient to weld
steel; it is also very rich in its gas properties.
Good groupings and some very uniform and
rich specimens Of galena orc have been found
in the vicinity Of tho coal, and several of tho
numerous springs are mineral, and highly i'm
pregnated with iron, sulphur and magnesia.
The benefit attending the coal wealth of
these mountains is unbounded, and tho com-
psny here deserve the greatest gratitude of the
settlers Oh our treeless praries, for their luck
and enterprise in overcoming many obstacles
to give tho country the needed necessities, coal,
railroads and marketa for their products.

Oscar y. Clifford.


The st. Paul Pioneer PresH has the following
biography OF the Republican nominee:
Oscar S. Clifford was born in Watertown, N.
y, in 1872, and locks all of his forty 1.-TWO years.
His early life was spent OH a farm, and his
early educational advantages were not pro-
nounced. In 1854, when Oscar was a lad Of
twelve, his parents moved to Boone county,
ILL., where in winter the boy went to school,
spending his summers on his fathers farm
until 1860, when lie enlisted in an Illinoig reg
lment OF infantry, aAd ~ = private soldier
fepshtt al through tshe war Returning to H.
linols in 1885, lie succeeded ip much improving
his education in a Aeighharing academy and
Taught spheol In hoone county several seasons.
In 1871 he started for Dakota arriving in Can
ton, Lincoln county, as he says, without either
csrpet-bag or federal commission. He
soon succeeded in amassing some property,
and opened general store in Canton, but Ills
tastos did not especially lead TO mercantile pllr-
suits, and he soon was elected a juitice of the
peace, serving In that capacity, and also as
mayor OF Canton, for several terms. Opportu-
nifty serving, Mr.. Clifford commenced to read
law in the office Of Mark W. Baxley, Of Canton,
one Of the brightest lawyers of Southern Da-
kota. Admitted to practice, he associated
himself in tho legal business with Mr.. Baxley,
and the partnership was continued until the
death of the latter. Since that time Mr.. Clifford
has continued the practice of his profession
and has acquired considerable property. He
is n4Eaalt!iea 4Ea aud las ono son, four years old.
The notaineeis stalwart Republican, Inclined
to protection and earnest for division on the
40th parallel and the admission Of South Ds-
kota as State,
