and been one of the chief attractions to I'LL
the pews. Her husband is brother of the
noted California banker, who was drowned

In Dakota the Democratic and Republican
parties, in their action in conventions, do
not differ materially in politics, nor generally
on candidates, but on one point they both
take resolute stand upon principle, and
will not recede or compromise, though the
heavens fall or the place below glows with
extra heat. The Republicans have resoluted
in favor of division on the forty-sixth parallel
and the Democrats on the seventh standard
parallel The difference between these lines
is said TO be from one to seven miles. AS
in an age past the Democrats put on their
banners "5440 or a fight,'' so there seems
now danger of conflict between the two
lines.
man named Weber in Miner county
played the part described by the Sioux Falls
Press in this: He proved up on his home
stead as a single man and sold it. He was
indebted to some of the merchants with
whom he had wheat stored, but they having
such implicit confidence in the old mans
integrity, allowed him to withdraw his grain
in order to sell it where he could get more
for it than the merchants could afford to
allow him. He mortgaged everything he had
and then made raise of $500 from a shy
! lock money lender of that section by giving
him chattle mortgage, at per cent. per
month, on herd of cattle and horses that
he owned-in his imagination, and jumped
the country, leaving his wife and children
in destitute circumstances.
! E. D. Fuller, in Beadle county, has in
three years brought his farm of $40 acres to
a state of improvement, hardly surpassed in
| the older sections. The Huron Times says
of one feature of it. The chief feature of
the Fuller farm is the large number of Nor
man horses, one of which cost him $4,000.
lie has seventeen Of these farm horses, and
a group of seven sucking colts that would
make Rosa Bonheur's heart glad to see; and
it is a comfort to see, while it is but play for
a team of these noble grays to draw plow.
On this farm is fine herd of short horns,
some of which have taken tie blue ribbon at
our county fair. Jersey red pigs, as plump
as pigs can be, are slowed away in numer-
Gus comfortable places about the farm.
Livingston Enterprise: G. S. Barnes,
president of the Northern Pacific Elevator
company, in conversation with our reporter
| to-day informs us that he expects to move
! / 900, 900 or more bushels of wheat from
Washington territory this year. It will be
! shipped at Spokane, Sprague, Cheney and
such points, and will 90 direct through to
New York and probably to Liverpool, as it is
of such quaity'that the Minnesota mills will
not handle it for Touring purposes. He pays
about forty cents or less per bushel for the
wheat His agent tried to negotiate for the
wheat crop OF Gallatin and Bitter Root val
| leys, but was not able to pay what the farm
ers wanted. No. hard is only worth 80
cents at Fargo now, and Mr.. Barnes said he
could better have paid 20 cents last year for
Montana and Washington wheat than 40
cents this year.
Few sections are without reports Of this
sort, given by the Larimore Pioneer: Con-
siderable property has been burned by prai-
RE fires within the past few days, among
which may be mentioned seventy or eighty
tons OF hay on the Goose river for Mr.. j. B.
Coon, and a quantity of hay for Mr..
Y. 3. Picrson, west of town. Mayor
Roach had three or four wheat
stacks burned Sunday night, involving
a loss of perhaps 400 or 500 bushels. A.
Black, of section Is, Moraine township, lost
two stacks of his best wheat, but fortunately
had it insured. Andrew Lee, who has been
tending bar for Thore Olson, lost his shanty,
several stacks of wheat, and farming imple-
ments. He had fire breaks, but the fire
jumped them. Some young ladies, living on
claims on the Goose river, but whose names
we were unable to learn, saw fire coming
/ nd cd hoir .lo "a cd
safe place, but the houses were left and theil
clothing burned.
The Mandan Pioneer claims that the farm
ers of Dakota suffer at the hands of the mer
who do the grading of wheat at Duluth ant
Minneapolis, and that Governor Pierre,
should appoint committee to confer will
the Legislature of Minnesota to secure uni
formity of legislation in that state and Da
kota on the subject. Major Fleming is on,
OF the Dakota board of inspection. TIT
Mandan paper SAYS: Major Fleming, o
Fargo, and Col. Steele. of Steele, gave th'
people of Mandan some interesting informa
zion on Tuesday evening about the inspec
ton of Dakota wheat 1t seems almos
useless for Dakota to pass laws on the sub
ject as long as. Dakota wheat is inspected
and marketed in Duluth. The laws Of Da
, kota can not reach the wheat thieves o
Minnesota. There is no question tina
, Dakota farmers are Systematically robbed
What is needed is a uniform law in Mime
, sofa and Dakota that can be UNIVERSAL
enforced.

man whom nature has favored both PHYSICAL
and mentally. He weighs 240 pounds and hi

He is fine, fluent and forcible speaker
