The first annual department encampment
of the G. A. r. of Dakota will be held at
Sioux Falls the last two days of this month.
There are at present 81 posts and the num-
Der will be raised to 65 it is said before the
meeting. The increase of posts is strictly
Dakotan in rapidly, being greater than ever
reported elsewhere.
Bridgewater is one of the promising new
towns in the extreme north of Dakota. 1t
now claims population Of 300, has twelve
stores, two elevators, two banks, two lumber
yards, and first class stone quarry. The
aggregate business for last year was nearly
100000 Bridgewater ships large quanti-
ties of flax, wheat and general produce. a
flour mill will be put up this year.
There is no doubt that the territory of
Dakota will be divided on the 10th parallel
be it sooner or later. This will suit all east
of the Missouri, but west there will be an
earnest effort for separate state running
down the river as far as Pierre. That will
be mainly stock range and mining coun-
try, with distinct interests from the rest, and
there is good ground for their wanting to
govern themselves.
The frost is out Of the ground five or six
inches, and with no rain to interfere, the
wheat has gone into the earth, which was
generally prepared last fall, with great rapid
ity. 1t looks as if this was to be one Of the
big wheat years, and the only apprehension
now is that the prices are not going to be as
robust as is desired, but the farmers claim
that wheat can be grown here at so cents,
and all above that is margin.
The people on the branch of the Northern
Pacific railroad from Wahpeton to Minor are
kicking over the accommodations furnished
them. A mixed train has run over the forty
miles daily, but lately the passenger car has
been taken Off Often from thirty to forty
passengers day are packed into the caboose
of the freight, men, women and children
standing around as thick as feas on de-
funct canine or other animal, and spend
three hours in the ride. They think they are
entitled to better treatment.

4 Red Jy;no Girl CaDturea Him,

There are so many wealthy and eccentric
citizens at Bismarck that the people are not
quite sure as to which of them is the hero of
this little incident related by the William
sport, Pa.,) Breakfast Table; which they say
illustrates the fact that the pressure of pros
porous activity there leaves no time for the
usual easy, slow and soft approaches to mat
rimony:
GA wealthy Scandinavian from Bismarck
Oak, arrived in Red Wing, Mimi. last week
and said he wanted wife. At the depot he
met forthe first time man to whom he Of
fered $500 if he would find him wife on
short notice. The man took him to his own
house and introduced him to his daughter
The bargain was quickly made, and, as a
guarantee Of good faith, the man from Da-
kota transferred $40, 900 of Bismarck prop
erty to his intended bride. The marriage
took place few days later. Now this is a
method that ought to be more generally en-
ployed 1t double discounts the long and
tedious angling of young ladies and gentle
men for cash, under the very transparent
sentiment of pretended love, and is de
cided improvement upon the wire-pullings
of multitudes of anxious papas and mammas.
The Minnesota idea is quick and effective.
Why should 1t not be given general trial!"

The jamestown Capital has obtained this
incident characteristic of Dakota girls:
''8Tiss 4. J. Peet, who proved up on her
homestead near Howard, Miner county, is a
good example of downright western grit.
Like many Dakota settler she mortgaged
her claim in order to prove up, and
the agent through whom she obtained the
loan retained the final receipt. Every effort
of Miss Peet to obtain the receipt has been
met with bluffs and denials, and taking the
matter into her own hands she went straight

Il Nest for a Rat.

The Helena Herald has this instance of the
foolish practice Of burying money in the
ground instead Of trusting the banks
''To-day we were shown at the Merchants
National bank of Helena package of green
backs containing sl,700, which had been
buried for several years by miner in the
country not many miles from Helena. This
package had been buried with several others
at the same time, but in different places.
amounting to between five aud six thousand
dollars. This package of tens, twenties and
one hundred dollar bills had been carefully
hid away in a tin can, which, after LAYING
undisturbed for years, a mountain rat made
his nest in the can, providing his bed with
the expensive and luxurious clippings of
this package of greenbacks. Fortunately the
bills were only cut at one end when the own
er went to examine his treasure. Probably
in short time the whole of the valuable
package would have been cut into little bits.
and its value totally destroyed The package
and the debris of the nest were forwarded to-
day to the United States treasury for redemp-
ton.

Sensible Tie,c of Local I,adian Question

Sensible Tie,c of a Local Indian Question.
A great number of petitions have gone to
Washington asking the government to throw
open the Sisseton reservation to white settlers
and it is reported that the Indian commits
sion has endorsed the movement. million
or more acres of the finest wheat lands in
Dakota are closed for the benefit Of 800 In
dams, who can never cultivate one-tenth Of
it. The Dakota San, published in Roberts
county, on the border Of the reservation,
takes this view of the Indian question:
''If the government will withdraw its army,
withdraw its agents, withdraw its annuities,
withdraw its everything, make the Indian a
voter, subject him to the laws of the state
and territories in which he resides, and allow
himself and the state or territory to govern
him, in ten years he will have advanced fur
Their in education and culture than he will in
fifty years of his present treatment. Let the
Indian be made a voter. He will vote as
intelligently as hundreds of thousands of
negroes and whites. Besides, an ignorant
voter is no more dangerous than an ignorant
citizen who is not a voter. The law that
governs white men is, in our opinion, good
enough to govern an Indian. The Ameri-
can people have time to discuss the negro
question, they raise howl that makes ''the
hollow deep of hell resound'' because few
thousand people insist upon practie-
ing polygamy, let them acquaint them
selves with the vastly more vital ques-
tion-the Indian. < What the out
come of the petitions that have been for
warded, will be, we cannot say, however, at
present the outlook is quite favorable. A
part of the petitions ask for reduction,
while the rest ask for the opening of the
whole. a reduction would benefit the white,
but only opening the whole and extending
the franchise to where it justly belongs, win
materially benefit the Indian"

Col. Do,,aa. for Gorernor.

There is a growing feeling in many parts
of Dakota in favor of the appointment of
Col. Donan as governor and some of his
friends are actively working for that end. 1t
is understood that the colonel refuses to take
any personal steps in the matter, as he has
never sought office, but has declined several
desirable positions. 1t is believed that in
addition to securing an executive Of unques-
tionable integrity, capacity and efficiency in
that position, his reputation abroad would be
of inestimable service to the territory. A re
centconEibutor to the Fargo Republican pre-
sents the matter strongly, as the following
extracts will show:
ssHe has been a faithful and successful
champion of the interests of the great north
west, and especially of the territory of Dako-
ia for many years. He has been resident
of the territory for five years, and is familiar
in every household within its broad limits.
He belongs to neither faction of
north or south Dakota. He belongs
to the whole territory, to the
advancement of which he has devoted five
years Of his life, during which time, by writ
ing and speeches, replete with facts, clothed
with comely language and beautiful imagery
he has done much to make Dakota and her
wonderful resources known in every civilized
land The great railways of the Northwest
have published his writings concerning this
territory in many languages, and scattered
them broadcast over the old as well as the
new world. By this means immigration of
capital, labor, brains and muscle have been
attracted to our great country, hence his rep
utation is national and international. He
has done much as a private citizen for the
welfare of the territory; how much more
could he do and would do as governor? Those
who know him well, and they are legion.
know that all the energies of his nature
would be willing workers for the good of the
territory"
