Snortsn,nn,s Notes.

The Sargent Teller says: Engineer Hooker
and wife came over from Wadena Saturday night
and went on a hunting trip over Sunday. and sue
ceeded in killing 1fty-two ducks and one fine, fat
goose. Mrs. Hooker is fine shot.
Mcclure, Of the jamestown Alert, went out
hunting Saturday and returned Sunday with
eighty four ducks and some other game. He is
regarded as the best shot in jamestown, ont not
comely in feature like Burk, Of the Capital.
jamestown Capital: The party of st. Paul
gentlemen who went oat hunting last week under
the direction Of Ed. Russell, succeeded in shoot
ing 100 ducks-which is pretty good for ducks.
There are said to be thousands Of wild geese on
the stubble fields along the jamestown & Nor
thern, and the huntsman who wishes to secure
some Of these fowl now has golden oppor-
tunity.
AS domestic poultry are small in this section,
several car loads of wild ducks and geese have
been received for the use OF the Methodist con-
ference now in session here. The gentlemen
sustain the reputation OF the cloth as absorbers
of fat fowls Incidentally It may be mentioned
that there are some fine shots among the clergy
Of Fargo. Revs. Simmons and Beard are a ter
ror to the ducks and geese that stop on in this
section to fill with ozone before their southland
voyage.
Items like this from the La Grace Courier are
now common in Dakota papers: Chauncey Eek
ert shot pelican while out hunting last Wedues-
day, which measured eight feet from tip TO tip Of
its wings, and four feet eight inches from the tip
Of its bill to the tip Of its tail. Judge Horton,
whose skill as tazadermist is well known, will
preserve the bird which will undoubtedly make a
handsome specimen. This statement Of Sargent
county IS applicable to nearly all sections. Game
is abundant in the country and almost every one
is iaboring under the hunting craze. Wild
geese, ducks brant and prairie chicken are fairly
being slaughtered.

4 Pleasant Picnic Party.

These parties spoken of by the Campbell
Courier may be heard of lower down on the
Missouri river:
party consisting of three men, one woman
and three children past down the river last Sat-
urday afternoon, and while passing in the vicin-
ity of j. H. McLain's, Sunday, they saw soma
grapes, and rowing to the shore two of the men
man and the woman in the boat. After being
absent for few minutes they heard the woman
scream, and rushing to the boat found the man
holding the woman down and trying to cut her
throat with a razor. One of the men picked up
a Ratchet, knocked him over and took the razor
away from him. but he Immediately snatched up
a shot gun and before that could be taken away
from him snapped at the fellow several times
but fortunately it would not go off c. P. Wray,
our informant, and Mr.. McLain, who were in the
vicinity and heard the screaming rushed to the
river, but arrived too late to take a hand in the
affair. In addition to the above story they stated
that this was the third time he had attempted to
murder the woman, who was his wife, since
leaving Bismarck. The assailant said his name
was Motfett, and that he had formerly kept
hotel at Bismarck, but had sold out and was on
his way to Kansas City, and that he believed his
two companions were going to kill him and take
his money. He asked Mr., Wray to show him
the road going south and started off, saying that
he was going to walk. That was the last seen
of any of them. Mr.. Wray says they were well
dressed and intelligent looking people, and he
thought the two men and woman were brothers
and sisters. 1t is certainly very mysterious
affair, and will probably meyer be solved.

Mr.. F. Il. Clark comes from Carpenter, ig
Madison county, H., one of the finest counted
in that state, and almost a suburb OF st. Louis,
snd cheers the Dokota farmer with the contrast
of his section with this. The Darlington NelOs
says: ''Mr. Clark spoke of a farm at Car
penter, consisting of 100 acres, which cost
short time ago S56.25 per acre,-a low price, by
the way, the ruling figures in that neighborhood
being from S75 to 500 per acre. That farm was
rented for $3.50 per acre, and produced a har-
vest of ten bushels OF wheat per acre, which
sold for &C per bushel. There was consider
able corn raised beside the wheat, of course,
but it was not much more profitable. The fg-
ures are very suggestive. The renter paid 81. : 0
per acre. and his harvest returned him So, 20 per
acre. II he cultivated the whole 100 he would
have gross income of 1864 to cover all costs of
labor and his living. This fall that farm was
rented for next year for one third of the crop.
Compared with such transaction as that our
settlers are having ajubilee over their fifty cent
wheat"

feet above the level Of the sea, but the is
go gradual that the elevation does not seem high
to the traveller. The mountains run from south-
east to northwest, and the area covered by tim
Der Is about twenty By thirty miles, about one
third Of which IS on the Manitoba side. Numer-
Gus small lakes add TO the beauty Of the scenery.

quality OF coal has been found near D1nseith
and the mills are already being operated silyei
and other metals have been been discovered in

ST. PAUL NEWS.
A HOT DAY.
A Striking Illustration of How the
Climate has Changed Since the
Year 1910,
When on the First Day Of October Mr.. Howard
Was Brought into Camp Frozen
to Death.

A GLOBE reporter meeting Hon. ID. M.
Rice Yesterday, asked him if he had ever
known such warm weather at this season OF
the year. He said 1 have just come from my
residence and the mercury stood on the
porch at 95; though of course that is not a
fair test, as the sun shines on that part OF
the house. The seasons have undergone
great changes since my first visit to this
part of the country. On the night OF Octo-
Der 1, 1910, gentleman by the name oil
Howard, a brother-in-law of Hon. S. b.
Olmstead, formerly member OF our state
legislature, was frozen to death near Fort
Atkinson, Iowa then in process of construc-
ton. He was out looking for his cattle and
and was caught in snow storm and per-
ished. His body was brought into Fort At
kinson, October 2. l remember the circum-
stances very well. When the wagon
bearing his remains were brought in we
were at supper. Our dining room was made
of bark and The driving snow penetrated it
from all directions. Not less than two
inches in depth fell at that time, but do not
remember ever having suffered more from
the cold than did on that occasion.
At the time to which l refer there were
few people even in that part of Iowa. Around
Prairie du Chen there was settlement, but
from that part to Fort Atkinson there was
but one house, occupied by Mr.. Post and
his family, and his station was known as
Postville The old gentleman is dead, but
his wife still survives. The fight of forty
years has made a great difference in the
country.
The climate is milder, adapting itself to
the wants of the population. Then there
were no cities in Minnesota and the few
people who we're here have mostly passed away
and a new race has come in and increased
until we have more than million people oc-
cupying Minnesota, which was then I'M
known even by name. At that time a few
steamboats, navigated the river as far up as
Fort Smelling, but the most visionary ''old
timer never supposed that the whistle OF the
iron horse would ever be heard as far north
as this point. Now hundred trains arrive
and depart daily, and after the iron horse
is groomed his lungs are again inflated, and
with the speed of the winds it rushes on to
the Pacific coast What is in store for US in
the next forty-four years.
At Fort Atkinson | messed with the
officers of the garrison, and Of all the happy
fellows assembled around that mess table
only two remain-Col. Lynde and myself.
am proud of the achievements of the post,
and as / look back | know that it has been
my good fortune to live in the grandest pc
Rod of the worlds progress. Come again,
young man, in forty-four years, and l may
tell you Of still greater wonders.

Political Points.

The Brookings Press says: There is said to
be one man in Beadle county who is not candi-
date for county attorney, and that is Boston
who is from this county and is held in jail there
awaiting term of court here.
The Democrats in Hughes county in their con-
vention at Pierre last week, felt strong enough
to split and put up two county tickets. The
only name on both is that of Samuel Reed for
probate judge, the eminent Illinois jurist and
editor. His election is evidently assured, and
many personal friends in Illinois will be gIad to
learn of his success.
The Yankton Press and some other sheets
seem to really credit the charge that Bismarck
is seeking to elect legislature that will REIN
burse it for the cost of the capitol building The
Press says there is strong majority in the north
opposed to the retention of the capital at Bis
marck. If that is the case, reliance must be had
upon the south to refund the cost, which looks
like novel theory.
This postmaster, reported by the Clark county
ReUielU, is the only one known who did not sup
port Raymond: Last spring Elrod made a trip
to Washington to get Raymond to have him APP
pointed postmaster, Raymond did it, and this
fall Elrod made trip to Pierre to vote against
Raymond for delegate to congress. Probably
Elrod judged he was not fit man on account OF
the mistake he made in removing a good post
master without cause.

The Redfeld Journal has also heard the vap.
orings of some of the delegates home champions
and says: Some Of the hot-headed ones who
were over-zealous in the support of Mr.. Ray
mond for denomination are out-spoken in theiI
denunciation of the Bismarck delegates and
others who opposed Raymond in north Dakota
They declare that they will have revenge upon
the Bismarckers some day. They threaten
dire destruction to Bismarck interests if theter
ritory be ever divided. We think they will get
cooled off before that time comes around.
No more unwise course could be taken than
that pursued by these excited parties. They will,
if they keep on, endanger the interests of their
own section. In case of division there would be
apt to be combinations to their detrment. Grand
Forks is eager to secure the sessions of the U.
s. court, and jamestown and other points would
enter the same race for the agricultural college
of the north.

DION B0UClCAULT.
A Short Description of His Palace on
Wheels.
He Expresses Himself as Very Favorably I'm.
pressed With American Actors.

well preserved gentleman of say sixty,
with bald, massive dome of thought, with
fetlock of black hair struggling from the
back of his head, bright, keen, grayish eyes,
Short stubby, gray moustache, dressed negli-
gee in blue navy trousers, linnen shirt and
slippers; this, gentle reader, is the off hand
portrait of the famous author, playwright and
actor, Dion Boucicault, as seen by the GLOBE
artist yesterday afternoon.
He reclined on one of the plush seats of
his magnificent and convenient travelling
coach "The Shaughran" which stands on
the side track in the rear of the Union
depot.
The car is perfect beauty in its way, and
was constructed for Mr.. Boucicault and his
company. 1t is designed on the hotel and
drawing room plan, and as
Mr.. Boucicault has horror
of stopping at hotels he and his company
find elegant and commodious quarters in
''the Shanghran.n No more. perfect ar
rangements than the interior of this car can
be imagined. 1t is perfect bijou on wheels,
combining as it does sleeping apartments,
drawing room and parlor accommodations,
all filed up in the sumptuous style.
In the rear of "The Shaugbraun" is the
kitchen, baggage and scenery car, which is
an immense affair in itself. This car is so
designed SOFAS to prevent any of the kitchen
odors escaping into the parlor car, besides
while it contains accommodations for the
servants, the whole outfit being the most
elegant and complete of anything of the
kind ever constructed.
when the reporter entered he found the son
of Mr.. Boucicault, talented young gentle
man of twenty-five or Whereabouts, arranging
into book form the parts of his fathers new
play, "Joseph Emmett a historical drama
to be brought out in st. Louis about the first
of November. In conversation Mr.. Dion
Boucicault is perfectly delightful, and in the
talk that followed he spoke in a charming
way Of the great actors with whom he has
been intimately acquainted. "reminiscences
were given of nearly all the illustrious actors
of to-day and of the past generation, and the
veteran actor gave some touching remem-
brances Of his friend Mccullough, eThose
star has just passed under what is to be
hoped will prove only a temporary eclipse.
He also gave the writer an interesting idea
of the methods Of his own work and that of
other dramatic amthors in this and the old
world, his conversation on dramatic matters
indeed, taking the widest scope.
AS the representative actor and author of
his time, Mr.. Boucicault possesses a wonder
full fund of valuable and interesting informa-
ton, and his style has all the beauty and
force of descriptive narrative, being fascinat-
ing to q degree.
