The best story comes from North
Day county that will partially illustrate
the size to which grain grows in this sec
ton of the country. A farmer went into
his granery the other day, and heard a
strange noise. He looked around, but
could see nothing save an cat III one cor
ner o. the bin, that had been let there
last fall because it could not be sque2zed
into the last bag that was flied, and he
having nc extra ones il Was suffered to
lay there unheeded. Going up to the
oat he examined it, and was surprised To
find that it hal been followed out, and
that a large rat was safely ~ensconoed
therein. IL seems he was yery hungry,
commenced and nibbIed right through
the shell, and by the time he got inside
was so fatit was impossible for him to
get out The farmer has the rat and oat
on exhibition.

THE ROUND o
Webster is a very aradise f,r sportsinen.
AS previously stated, the hills are full of
small lakes, that fairly swarm With game
and fish. One Of these lakes, "Wahbsy,"
situated only about three miles distant
from Webster, Is nearly fifteen miles in
length. and its bright, sparkling waters
are literally alive with numerous varie-
ties of the fnny tribes. DGcks and geese
are found IN abundance the summer
through.

welcome news of goods crops" In tact
from nearly every state in the Union we
hear the glsd news. Now is the time
and this the year when Dakota will come
10 the front as THE wheat field of the
world. Already has she won high hon
ors, but greater are to come. Her repu-
tsstion at home and abroad is aa y able
one. From worlds end TO worlds end,
in every land and every cline, the name
OF "Dsko.a" Stands a particularly bright
star in the armament of freedom. The

ali people Of the various nations having
heard of Dakota and its No. l hard, sigh
to leave their mountains of rock and

THE Pioneer Press Of last Sunday

The Pioneer Press Of last Sunday
says:
One of the ~pleasantest social events of
the week MSS the marriage Of Edwin w.
Small, of Webster. Dakota. to Miss Franc
Moulton, Of South Minneapolis. The
ceremony WIS performed on Thursday
evening, by Rev. X. j. Cresswell, at No.
1,423, three and a half ven south Of
the residence of Mrs. Mary Hartwell,
who acted the part Of mutual frie1d" on
the occasion.
Both Of the contracting parties are well
known here, and highly esteemed for
their personal worth and high character.
Ed. stole a march on the boys, and was
securely fastened before any m but the
most intimate friends were aware that
he had any idea Of deserving the grand
army of Benedicts. In consideration,
however, of his having yet EN- up" all
round, the bows have forgiven him and
taken him into full fellowship again.
The RspvRrER sincerely and heartily
wishes the happy couple a long, pleas
ant and prosperous journey through life;
| that thay may be able, as the years roll
IN, TO bless the day that c~cnsuniated tins
supreme epoch Of their lives, so shat,
when the even time shall come. and
their locks are silvered soer with the
frosts OF many winters they may look
back upon a host of good deeds and good
will TO men and that the browning glory
of their lives may be that their children
and their friends shalt rise up and call
them blessed.

BELVA A. LOCKWOOD.
FemaIe Candidate OF the Wornan's
N Rights Party for President.
Two Dollars a Year.

NJ Rights Party for President.
The latest political sensation is the can
diaature of Belva 4. Lockwood of
Washington for the Presidency. she has
long been prominent as an agitator for
''woman's rights" a temperance reformer,
and as a hard working member of the
Universal Peace Union and of the Arbitra-
ton League. She is a prominent lawyer
and has been, since 1878, member of the
Bar of the Supreme Court Of the United
States. No stranger to netoriety previously,
she ia nov known everywhere in the
Union ns the candidate OF the Moments
National Rights party of California, for
the presidency of the United States. The
party nan1ed have given reasons to. the
world why they prefer Mrs. Lockwood to
other women eminent in agitation, whether
wife, widow OF spinstsr. It seams that
Elizabeth Candy Stanton is " too old, for
the honor; Susan B. Anthony y loo much
of q spiister;" Mary A. Livefnaore 4 too
opposed to certain classes, ind Lucy
Stone 8 toe narrow" Belya a. Lockwood
nilfesitatiilglg accepts the nomination ii, d
witty letter which bids, for votes III every
direction and promises Offices TO her sox III
the event of her electton. As women
can not vote for the Presidency, and
woman can not be President, the reason
why the new machine " has been construc- |
ted and set working is not plain to the
biunt perceptiogs of man. Perhaps it is |
one more protest against male tyranny"
The candidate is a native of New York |
State. She was born in 1880. When only |
fourteen years old she.tanght school. Four
years later she married Uriah H. McNan,
who died in 1853, leaving one daughter,
now literary person-Lura w. Ormes.
Mrs. McNdll assisted in the care of Union
soldiers during the war. At its close she
resumed teaching. In 1868 she married |
again, her second husband being DR.. E.
Lockwood, now deceased. Mrs Lockwood
received the degree of A. NJ. from Syracuse
University Id 1870. Directing her atten-
ton to the study of the law, she graduated |
as LIB. at the National University.
Washington, and in 1873 was admitted to |
practice in the District of Columbia. After
a hard fight she succeeded in being received |
Is h member Of the Bar Of the Supreme
Court of the United States. This was in
1873, and is rsnarkableias a point gained
by those who cllamor for +" equal rights =" in
the sexes. - -
The fair candidate for the Presidency is
weli-known figure in Washington. She
rides the tricycle. to perfection, and to her
is due the distinction Of having introduced
that vehicle in the capitol of the United
States. Her candidature seems to be taken
in earnest by some people, if it be true
