to organize the fine county of Wells up north.
In the Huron region the rainfall in July
was 2.20 inches, almost exactly the same as
in July of 'S3. Ii the west and northerly
parts of the territory the fall was very
much greater this than last year.
The Press association, that meets at Huron
Aug. 6 and Z, promises to be very largely
attended by the newspaper men Of that dis
trict. There will no doubt be an effort made
to unity on south Dakota interests.
Bishop Walker, of north Dakota, will make
an extended visit of Pembina county, of his
diocese, at the Latter part of August or in
September and will confirm candidates at
different points in the county.
Delegate Raymond went as far west as
the Montana line line the past week to COM
mence his canvass. He found the Bad
Lands solid for him, but in need Of a few
more postmasters. Sitting Bull is enthus-
iastic.
The editor of the Sheyenne Boomerang in
Nelson county, has hens egg which weighs
over one quarter of pound. He proposes
sending it to Alex. Mckenzie for the Dakota
exposition. Hens, even in this county have
caught the boom.

lation.
At a recent caucus of farmers in Richland
county they resolved to take an active part
in the caucuses of the parties in order to
nominate men for the legislature that favor
the repeal of the present school law, more
equal adjustment of taxation, and a law reg
ulating railroad tariff and just weighing
and grading Of wheat.
A few farmers, who have lost their wheat
by hail, had insurance on it, but that is
small reliance and too heavy tax for gen.
eral use. While good many individuals
have suffered from hail, and the losses reach
in the round up of the territory. A million
or two bushels, more or less, will not affect
the prices.
The Grafton Herald says: On Saturday
last a number Of our citizens left Grafton
for the purpose of attending the funeral Of

that day. Mr.. Meyers was a mason and was
buried with masonic honors, about fifty OF
the brothers from Grafton and Mimic being
present This was the first masonic funeral
ever held in Walsh county.
The financial statement of the treasurer, of
Cass county just published shows bonded

A mass meeting was held at La Moure
Saturday to initiate movement to secure 4
petition from two-thirds of the citizens of
the county for an election to remove the
county seat from Grand Rapids to La Moure.
This starts a bitter contest that will no doubt
last for years. A new court house, costing
some 1000, has just been erected at Grand
Rapids and that place has little apprehen-
sion Of losing the seat OF government, at
present at least. The towns are rivals, but
La Moure seems to have the advantage in
the way of railroads. 4.Gt
The chairman Of Republican county COM
mittee in Ransom county is II. s. Harcourt,
the retired editor and capitalist, and red
bot Democrat and Cleveland man. He
states that five other members Of the com
mittee are also Democrats, but that is no OBJ
stace to their aiding the Republicans to run
their machine. There is hardly limit to
the interchange of courtesies in this sort OF
way between members of the two parties in
Dakota. In fact, there is no occasion to
climb the garden wall, for the door is kept
open between the parties and politicians go
to and fro in Dakota with the utmost free
dom. AS they can't vote to amount to much
it is difficult for people to remember which
party they do belong to, and there are no po-
litical OR other fences in Dakota.
