ACOMPLETE GIVE AWAY,
The Surprise Intended by a
Fourth Of July Commit
tee Spoiled.

During the stay of Mr.. S. Guy Sea in Hope
the Fourth of July committee of arrangements
was seen by PIONEER representative myste-
riously carrying him off to one of the re-
motest and quietest of the parlors of the Hope
House, and the curiosity Of the faberite was at
once aroused and he determined to fatholn
the mystery for. the benefit of the many
readers of the PIONEER. At some personal in
convenience the scribe succeeded in reaching a
position where the conversation between the
parties could be plainly overheard. Incidently
1t leaked out that one of the parties had wit
messed the display of fireworks given by Mr..
Sea in Minneapolis OH the occasion of the
opening of one of his branch stores in that city
in October last, which surpassed any display OF
the kind ever made west of Chicago, and the
committee determined to improve the occasion
OF his presence in Hope to get up somethin g
in the way Of fireworks that would throw in
the shade anything ever heretofore seen in
North Dakota. Mr.. Seas technical knowledge
was brought into requisition, and at his sug-
gestlon it was decided that the great
event Of the evening should be grand pyr-
Otechnlc Illumination in which should appear
in letters of fire the words ''Our Hope" sur
rounded by jets and rockets in many colors in
the centre Of which will be sheaf of wheat OF
magnificent proportions emitting fire from the
heads. There are to be many other beautiful
designs gotten up for the occasion emblamatic
OF Dakota and the day. The whole will bo
gorgeous in the extreme, and persons from the
country should make their arrangements to
remain during the evening. We know that VIC
shall incur the displeasure of the committee in
thus prematurely disclosing its designs, which
was intended as surprise to tho people, but
our duty as Journalist compels US to give the
entire matter away, in order that the public
may be kept thoroughly posted, notwithstand
ing the envy and jealousy of surrounding
burgs may be thereby aroused

S. Guy Sea, one Of Chicago's best-known, en-

S. Guy Sea, one Of Chicago's best known, en-
terprising, and wide-awake bonanza mer-
chants, in whose mammoth establishment on
State street one may procure any article he or
she may desire, paid his first visit to Dakota
last week, arriving at Hope on Fridays train.
Mr.. Sea was accompanied by his wife, and
came to visit his father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs. Sidney A. Sea, as well as to examine for
himself this famed land Of No. l hard, and SO
well pleased was he with the country and con-
vinced of its unbounded capabilities that it is
not improbable that he may add bonanza farm
ing to his already other large enterprises. Mr..
and Mrs. Sea took their departure Oh Monday,
important business preoiudiag the possibility
of his remaining longer.

Indians Becoming Good.

The Poncha Indians in the Indian Territory
have 81 far progressed in agricultural pursuits
and have such fine farming land that they have
requested the Secretary of the Interior to fur
nish them no more groceries and clothing.
Beef rations, they say, can be discontinued in
about year. The money appropriated for
their support they desire should be used in the
purchase Of work for farming purposes.
This unusual request-the stoppage of rations
and the substitution Of implements Of husband
ry=-is regarded at the interior Department as
most satisfactory evidence of rapid progress in
the practical solution OF the Indian problem,
in which the Poncas seems to lead all other
Indian tribes. The Modoes, who were several
years ago removed to the Indian Territory, are
also reported to be progressing as rapidly as
the Poncas.

county, was ARRESTED on the 14th on tho
charge Of ravishing a fourteen -year-old inmate

Collins, who, it is claimed, is slightly if not

placed her on bed in his Office and committed
the crime, and to pacify her told her that it
would prove beneficial for an ailment for

as county physician. She also alleges that he
repeated the act in the same place, and by
reason Of the same promises he had first made
her.

sault. The parties were arrested. Fiddler
was subsequently taken from the officers by
fifteen masked men and conducted to the out
skirts Of the town where, after threats Of hang
ing, he promised to show where the money
was concealed and did SO; whereupon he was.
taken into ravine and hanged.

 MUsKEGoN, Mich, Oct 16.-Mr. Blaine did not arise as early as was expected at Grand Rapids this morning and when he did get up he was still tired, worn and unrefreshed. However, his special car was boarded about o'clock and sped away toward Lake Michi- gan, stops being made at Grandville, Zeland, Holland and Grand Haven. At these places large and enthusiastic crowds were in waiting and cordially welcomed the distinguished party. Blaine kept his compartment closely and did little or no speech making, that duty devolving upon General Fremont, General A1ger and others. The delay in starting so shortened the time that the stops were very brief and a good morning and good by were about all the people got at some of the stations, though the enthusiasm was great. At this place there was a large and we'll or ganized demonstration, the party being re- ceiTed by several uniformed companies and as many as six thousand people. The party left the train and proceeded in carriages to the Occidental Hotel, where speeches were made by Mayor Davis of Muskegon, General Fremont, Senator Palmer, MT. Blaine, Gen eral Alger and General Cutcheon. The tenor of all the speeches was in favor of protection as against free trade as it especially applied to the lumber interests.

Kelly VIII Bury the Hatehet.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The politicians take various views of last evenings interview be tween Governor Cleveland and John Kelly, but none appear to be able to guess the pur- port of the meeting or predict what it will lead to. It is understood that the meeting was arranged by Lieutenant Governor Hill, who in order to improve his own chances of being Governor Cleveland's successor at Al 'bany laid aside his personal hostility to Mir Kelly and during recent visit to New York soughta personal interview with Mir. Kelly at the latters residence in East Sixty ninth street at which the pipe of peace was smoked and Mir. Kelly reluctantly consented to call at the FifthIAvenue Hotel when Governor Cleveland came to New York and paid his respects to him. What transpired at that interview no one seems to know. MT. Kelly had a secret council with some of his followers at the Tammany Hall building to-day. One of his trusted Eeutenants subsequently hinted that as a result of the interview Tammany would support Cleveland for the presidency, in re- turn for which the County Democracy would endorse Tammany's county ticket
