In Fargo on Saturday night for the election
OF delegates to the county convention.
The revenue to the United States govern
ment from the land offices in Dakota foots
up $500, 900 year. 1t is good thing for
the government.
In some of the counties, editors who have
light purses exc out by putting in their spare
time killing gophers, for which the county
pays FIVE cents head or tail.
Judge Francis will attend the sitting of
the supreme court, at Yankton, early in De-

A good deal of damage was done to bridges
and track in west Dakota on the Northern
Pacific by recent storms. In the vicinity of

One of the Devils Lake papers has the i'm
preston or report that delegate Raymond
will withdraw from the contest, and is now
working to secure strength TO dictate the
nomination of Secretary Teller of Yankton.
John Ford reports that he saw 145 binders
running at once on the D9lrymple farm the

markable eyesight TO bring them all in view
at once.
For buying cattle from the Indians, with
out special permission, is $500 and imprison-
ment for six mouths. Major Thompson an
nounces his intention to prosecute all such
offenders to the full extent of the law So
says the Webster Farnaer
That Chicago preacher who shot himself
and wife the other day, preached in La Moure
just year ago. Had he remained in Da-
kota and taken a claim, no doubt he would
be alive and in his right mind to-day, and
his wife happy. Affidavts to this can be had
from all true Dakotans.
This is the pleasant view taken of the pre-
sent season in North Dakota: s'This country
has been a vertable Arcadia this spring and
summer. Fairer nor more delightful weather
never disturbed poets fancy nor was turned
out of natures labratory, than the sunshine
and ozone of this year of grace.
| One who has been over the country and
carefully inspected the wheat, before cut,

about fifteen bushels to the acre in Dickev
county; eighteen bushels in Lamoure
county, and twenty-five in the Red river val
ley"
DEVILS Lake Press The able and elegant
Plummer is now talking to the people of
Maine on the great political issues of the
day. If the genial colonel will only relate to
the people of the rock bound coast the thrill
ling story of Turn the Crank of the Chrome,
John, he will capture that date for the
Plumed Knight.
Considering that Dakota has but one dele
gate to send to Washington, and he has no
vote, and this slight touch of natinoal poll
tics is all in the reach of the so, 600 or 100,-
600 voters, they are working themselves into
a surprising ferment over the matter, but
the assortment of measures in which the tax
is interested is large, and the delegate is but
an official lobbyist
Hon. A. W. Hagar, near Mitchell, has a
field of corn of forty acres, in which the
stalks average ten feet high. The ears are
thick and well filed. Samples from this
field will go with the exhibit car of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul, aud to the vari-
Gus expeditions. 1t will be close figures be
tween this and some from north Dakota,
west of the Missouri.
The jamestown Ale1t comedies this
Jamestown is the dandy town on the line
of the Northern Pacific railroad. This is
the expression of nearly all disinterested
travellers, and its truth is not denied by those
who are interested in other towns. 1t is the
prettiest location, the handsomest built, the
most eDterprising of any town or city from
Lake Superior to Puget Sound.n
AT the Democratic convention to appoint
delegates from Dakota to Chicago, resolu-
ton was adopted instructing the chairman
to appoint committee to perfect thorough
organization throughout the territory The
members of this committee are: Messrs. W.
| T. Love, of Beadle county, chairman James
A. Ward, of Hughes county, and F. +.
| Stearns, of Pennington county.
F. NJ Ziebach, of the Scotland Citizen,
| Barney Caulfeld, the former congressman
from Chicago; NJ II. Day, of south Dakota
and Col. j. D. Benton, of Fargo and Mayor
Mccormick, of Grand Forks, are the names
spoken of for delegates to Washington on
| the Democratic side. Some think it better
to let an Independent take the field and com
bine with the Republicans who will bolt the
| Pierre nominee.
1t is claimed by many that the decisions
Of the land. commissioner at Washington
! Mcfarland, are often absurd and contra
dictory. They assume that he either lacks
| sense or is working in the interest of land
SPECTATORS and capitalists. Just how this
monstrated is not material, but some of
| the opinions are not based upon the interest
of the government or the settlers. They
are exceedingly annoying and preiudicial.
They require little harder swearing to get
over them, and indeed not little swearing
is directed at the commissioner himself. 1t
is hoped 10 will 90 out with Mr.. Arthur.
The Reporter at Webster, in Day county,
reports the arrival of these florists: -Four
Dicycalists created considerable excitement
on our streets on Tuesday evening. They
were from Wisconsin, had Travelled clear
across Minnesota and part of Dakota. They
came from Watertown on Tuesday, starting
from there at fifteen minutes Of ten, stop
ping an hour for dinner and arriving here
at six. The indicators on three Of the ma
chimes shows the distance between the two
points to be just forty-one and half miles.
The parties are E.. II. Garfield, O. S. Blakcs-
lee, Z. Simpson, Of Sparts, Wis, and s. F.
Hewett Of Melville, Wis. They are
all member of the Sarta, Wisconsin, bicycle
club.
