Peter V. Johnston, who has given more
horses records better than 2:20 than any
other driver, is now in Chicago with his
stable of trotters, having made the journey
of the trotting circuit meetings from that
city TO Boston.
Johnston has only four horses in his
charge now, they being the PAGERS West
mont and Lorene, with records of 2:139l
and 2:l54, respectively, and Onward and
Nellie L., trotters. Westmont made a rec
ord of 2:012 with running mate in this city
last July, but since then he has been going
in single harness most Of the time and won
a number of creditable races. After the
meeting at Providence, K. l., where he made
his record of 2:139<, the horse went to AL
bany and Boston, and a sudden change in
the weather tied him up so that he lost his
races at both of those points. Lorene is a
young mare that was converted from a trot-
ter to PAGER this season, and her record Of
2:15% is an exceedingly creditable one.
Nellie L., one of the trotters in Johnston's
stable, won a good race at Rochester, getting
a record of 2:23$<, and Onward, his other
trotter, has record of 2:204, and was re-
Gently purchased by Mr.. II. V. Bemis Of this
city, for IS, 600. Westmont sold for $780,
600 last July, and Lorcne for $1,000 they
being the property of Mr.. j. VI. Hill, the
theatrical manager. Nellie l.. is owned In
Iowa and valued at $4,000. Johnston's
stable will take part in the trotting meeting
here which begins next Saturday and will
then go into winter quarters.

Indian Politicians.

According to the report of the Mandan
Pioneer some Of the Indian tribes are quail
lying for Dakota politicians:
1t is said that Indians are by nature great
wire pullers and shrewd tacticians. They
would, therefore, make good politicians.
Some time ago, when Major Mclaughlin
announced that the census OF the Sioux
would be taken, the chiefs OF the different
bands set themselves to work vigorously to
enlarge their respective bands. They
schemed and bribed and resorted to all so rts
OF shrewd tricks to have their bands enlarged,
thinking, of course, that the dignity and
power of chief in the eyes of the gov
ernment depended largely on the num-
Der of braves in his band. A chief would,
therefore, steathily visit the camp of rival
chief and take away by persuasion and prom
ises, all the families and teepes he could per-
suade to go with him. In their rival attempt
to enlarge the bands, the highest diplomatic
tactics were often displayed, showing that
the Indian is by nature a tactician. Secret
caucuses were often held, where strong COM
binations were made between certain num-
Der of chiefs. These combinations were in
tended to work to the mutual advantage of
all parties to the contract, and they resulted
oftentimes very much like the political COM
binations of the white man in his territorial
or state conventions. When the Indian be-
comes citizen, he will be an important fac
tor in American politics.

Ho,y hammond Vas Defented

The details of the peculiar management
that snatched defeat out of the jaws of vic
tory for the Raymond forces at Pierre, will be
a matter of discussion and controversy long
time, and are not well understood. After
careful an alysis of the situation this is be-
lieved to be the exact fact. On the last bal
lot, after Lawrence had given its twenty-one
votes to Clifford over the heads of several of
the delegates who were Raymond men,
Clifford had but 179 TO 1914 for Raymond, 1875
being necessary for a choice. Another
county in the Black Hills had six votes for
Clifford, making 1856. Hand and Sphinx with
twelve votes were out consulting and it was
known that Raymond had three votes in
Sphinx and two in Hand, which would give
him 1919, and more than enough to nominate.
and here is where the fine work comes in. 1t
was desperate case for the opposition to
Raymond, but their leaders were equal to the
emergency. They first had the votes of Hand
and Sphinx called solid for Clifford, giving
him 1877, and more than enough to nominate,
aud at the warwhoop from Nc
KenZie bedlam was let laose
and kept mp so that no at
tention was paid to the minority from
Sphinx and Hand who were demanding that
their five votes should be placed for Ray
mond, which would nominate him. Right
here the cheapest trick was played. The
new and doubtfully organized county of
Logan, up by Bismarck, which Col. Steele
carries in his pocket which had already
given its two votes to Clifford, demanded a
change to Clifford. The turmoil was now
worse than bedlam, and the Clifford men
were all shouting that he was nominated and
all who wanted to be with the band wagon
hocked that way, changing from Raymond,
and the deed was done, but still it was not
deemed safe to verify the roll call. The vote
stood, Raymond 165, Clifford 226, after
enough had been cut of from Raymond ia
reduce to the membership Of the convention.
Dakota politics furnishes no finer piece Of
work than this in taking the nomination
away from he men who had clear majority
OF the vote. II Raymond had had even one
man like Mckenzie there il could not have
been done. Dash and fnesse did the work,
and the outwitted should be allowed TO kick
time.

4 Plan for Dirisfo,,.

There is, near the Forty-sixth parallel,
great deal of opposition to division on that
line. They prefer to divide on the Missouri
river. The Jim River Journal, in Dickey
county, says: "But division on the forty
sixth would cut eleven counties and dis
turb the boundaries of twice as many,
twenty-five counties. AS an illustration,
think Of the trouble it would occasion in re-
arranging boundaries and relocating county
seats in Dlckey and Brown
counties. Glendale, our county seat
would be in south Dakota, while two-thirds
of the county would be in north Dakota
Brown county, already very large, would
have an addition which would necessarily
cause cutting up and rearranging of her
boundaries. Everybody knows what bitter
dissensons and wranging the location Of
county seats and boundaries has always
caused The territory is now in a COMPARE
tive quiescent state over county seats and
boundaries, yet our politicians want to see
the people of twenty counties up in arms,
paving the air over county seats and bound
aries. A division on the river would obviate
all that trouble.

a strange land, started on foot to make her
way to Pierre, thinking that she could there
obtain employment in order to earn money
sufficient to pay her fare back to Chicago.
Rendered almost frantic by her desperate
situation she started from Rapid City alone
without food, and without money to purchase
it. She strayed from her road, and late in
the evening was met by one of the Rapid
valley boys about eight miles below town.
She told him her story and of her horror at
the place to which she had been taken, and
he was convinced that she was an innocent,
deserving girl. He enlisted other bachelor
friends in her behalf, and had her taken
care of during an illness brought on by her
exposure and troubles, and paid her way
back to friends in Chicago 1t was a Samar-
itan deed, but young women who come to
Dakota on trust and without friends will not
always be so fortunate in meeting noble
hearted young men.

ried at Bismarck to Miss Hattie a. Louns-
berry, one of the fairest and most winning
of the charming young ladies of the capital
city, and daughter of the distinguished
colonel. They take a short bridal tour.
1t is not believed there will be any grains
and vegetables at New Orleans to surpass
those of Dakota. These are some of the
items mentioned by the Tribune of a couple
of car loads that are being gathered at Bis
marck:
In wheat there arc dozen varieties, in
Guiding French Imperial, White Russian,
Scotch Fife, Hedge Row, Red Sea, Califor-
mia Purple Straw and Saskatchewan.
Excellent corn is being packed, equal to
any of the northern states. There is the
Early Kempton, Vermont Granger, Rice,
Illinois Dent, Rec, King Philip, etc.
Fifty punches of broom corn and sugar
cane will also be sent.
Flax and several kinds of barley are also
in the collection.
In grasses there is the buffalo, timothy,
wild and tame, blue joint red top, wild pea,
wild oats, wild wheat, silver top slew, meadow
hungarian, millet, red clover, bunch, bull
rushes, alpalpha clover, joint and numerous
other varieties.
In the vegetable line the variety is simply
innumerabe. Cabbages weighing from
thirty-five to forty-fye pounds each, turnips
weighing from twenty to forty pounds, pota-
toes of all kinds, squashes weighing from
thirty-ive to sixty pounds, pumpkins weigh
ing from forty to eighty pounds each, sweet
potatoes, egg plant, red peppers, cucunlbers,
ETC., etc.
In wild fruits there is the high bush cram
berry, plum, yellow and red, grape and bull
berry. Specimens OF Jelly made from the
above will also be exhibited.
Tame gooseberries. currants, crabapples,
blackberries and raspberries Will be exhibited
that will compare with those grown in any
country.
1t is expected that more than twenty car
loads will be sent from the territory.

Wants an OIL Mill.

Watertown Democrat The only way out of
the present difficulty for farmers in regard to
the low price of wheat, is an oil mill. Farm
ers can raise flax here as in Minnesota. just
as much and just as good quality. We hope
some move will be made amongst our bust
ness men to bring this matter up in the
shape of business meeting for that purpose.
The only salvation for the farmer is to quit
raising wheat to sell, and we hope and be-
lieve that the acreage in. Codington county
will not be so great next year as it has been
this. If an oil mill is started it will only be
question of time when a Irvine factory will
follow, which is as much needed in this
country as any one institution we can men
ton.

erson is also booked for Fargo.
Mitchell Republican,: The Baptist ass ocia-
ton which has just closed its session was
largely attended and was one of the greatest
church occasion our churches has ever wit
messed. The new church with its handsome
pipe organ and opera seats was greatly adj
mired by many of the visitors and is great
credit to the taste and energy of the pastor,
Rev. s. J. Winnegar, and speaks volumes
for the liberallty of our people. The ses-
sions of the convention were crowded full of
business and religious services were inter
esting in the extreme. A number of very
fine sermons were preached at various times
during the convention.
The new Baptist church building at Col

Dudley Jersey Seriously injured.

About five o'clock this afternoon Mr.. Dud-
ley Hersey, one of our most prominent citi-
zens, met with very serious accident. His
horses ran away near the base ball grounds,
and he either tried to jump out or was thrown
out, falling on the side of his head and
shoulders. Some boys saw the occurrence
and gave the alarm. When he was pick ed
up he was unconscious, and has remained
Ia that condition since. DR.. Willard was
called to attend him, and he cannot tell how
serious the injury is. From his actions he
is afraid the spine is injured. The only
apparent injuries are on the side of his face
and head. The horses, after running around
a couple of blocks came in contact with a
pole, breaking the buggy into pieces, after
which they went quickly to his stable. The
accident happened only short distance
from Mr.. Hersey's residence. The citizens
are much concerned, as Mr.. Hersey is very
popular resident.
