Lisbon, last week hung himself on account
of imaginary financial trouble.

So, $50 this year, and school pool of
1880, gain of 3S7 the past year.
There will not be much to report in the
way of railroad building in Dakota this year,
but the prospects all look for big work in
1885
Bismarck Tribune Sitting Bull will give

Mclaughlin, Indian agent at Standing Rock
Dakota.
The Army of the Tennessee excursion to
Devils Lake, stopped in Fargo Saturday long
enough for portion of the company to ride
over part of the city.
Griggs and McHenry the past week elected
delegates to Pierre, and neither instructed
for the present delegate. The latter is pro-
baby for its delegates to Huron, Hon.
Waldo M. Potter.
The work accomplished by Delegate Ray
mond on his trip west of the Missouri, is be-
ing heard from. Dicki nson county has in
structed for him. 1t is the first county in
the north reported that way.
Gov. Pierce made the fire company boys
who turned out to serenade him very happy
by the statement that he never saw finer
looking body of men; and it is said the
guards reminded him of veterans.
Ii the Republican papers have the select
ing f. M. Ziebach, the popular editor of the
Scotland Citizen, will be the Democratic can
didate for congress. He would make a big
run in the south as against north Dakota
man.
The First National bank of Jamestown, in
which Hon. E. P. Wells, president of the
James River Valley Railroad compand, was
largely interested, is winding up its business
affairs Its failure is no doubt to some ex-
tent connected with the Northwestern.
In the new Fargo directory there are 1882
names and in the Moorhead are 915. At the
estimate of three and half population to a
name, this shows II 1862 for Fargo and 1900
for Moorhead or ID, S62 for the dual city as it
is called. This is regarded as an increase of
some ], 800 the last year for Fargo.

under cultivation. This is certainly fine
showing.
The Yankton Press has this information
A gentleman who has been active in politics
in the Red river country during the past six
months writes: ''This section is beginning
to talk removal of the capital again. They
feel here as does south Dakota" If there is
such a feeling in the north anywhere it has
failed to come to the surface.
1t is given out that Delegate Raymond is a
staunch friend of Bismarck in all contro-
versies that may arise, but he does not want
to show his hand so that it will be seen very
distinctly in South Dakota. His interests all
lie in the north, and as the south will soon
no doubt be out Of his district it Is his inter-
est to be solid with the north.
Col. Donan came on from Saratoga, N.
Y, to convey $50 members Of the army of
the Tennessee on the excursion to DEVILS
Lake, but was filed with infinite disgust
when the party dwindled to less than a
dozen souls. He left it at Fargo, and has
already started back to the east where he
has literary enterprise on foot.
G. W. White, general superintendent of
the Dakota Midland railroad, states that the
affairs Of the company are in a prosperous
condition, and that the road will no doubt
be completed as far west as Hudson, neal
the James, this year. The route west of the
river is not fully settled and will depend
upon the inducements offered by localities.
AS Col. Plummer, the oratorical Boanerges
of Dakota, arrived in the east to open the
Blaine campaign in Maine the day before
the earthquake some regard the two events
as connected. Either the sonorous colonel
had opened his mouth, or nature was max
ing an effort to shake him. Somehow Storrs
was allowed to pose as the great western
orator down there.
Bismarck Tribune: The St. Paul Globe
does not exaggerate so much as it supposes
when it says that linear Bismarck corn
grows so high that step ladders are used to
go up and examine the ears" A sample of
this corn may be seen in front Of Mckenzie
q Collins office at any time. The ears can
not be reached by the tallest man in town
standing upon chair.
The Dickey county Press says: We under
stand that active operations in the affairs OF
the James River Valley Railroad company
have come to a standstill, and that the com
pletion of its line of road will be postponed
for an indefinite period 1t is thought that
this road depends upon the Rock Island for
southern outlet and the latter road will
hardly reach the valley Of the James until
next year.
The Casselton Reporter says of the matter
telegraphed about tramps The alleged tramp
scare in this city, Monday, was amusingly
ulagnified the farther the report travelled.
There was no general arming OF citizens,
and, with few exceptions, the large num-
Der of men congregated here were remarka-

The Journal at Grand Rapids, the county
seat of La Noure, is soon to be discontinued
Mr.. Cleveland, the editer, takes an interest
with the Progress at La Moure. The failure
of the James River railroad to be completed
this season is quite a backset to Grand
Rapids. Unless the effort to remove the
county seat to La Moure succeeds, there
would seem to be an opening for a paper al
Grand Rapids, provided OF course that the
publisher has a bonanza farm to help out
and the removal effort has virtually failed.
The Valley City Times says: The difficulty
of obtaining twine continues, and begins t
be serious menace to farmers in the secur
