FATHER WECHLER'S LETTER.
A Trip to to the Pacific Coast, from
Bismarck TO Portland.

Especial Correspondence OF the Globel
September 13.-Leaving Bismarck on our
way to Portland, we have occasion to admire
the railroad bridge which spans the Missouri
before we reach Mandan. 1t is a massive
structure and can be favorably compared
with any other in the United States or else
where. The bridge has been constructed
with special reference 10 its location, for as
the river is frozen over during the long win
ter, large masses of ice which are floating
greatly test its strength, but it has been
demonstrated that it is safe and can with
stand any attack from without or within.
At Mandan the time is changed. There is
one hour gained, but at our return trip it is
lost again, so after all we are not better off
than before. Mandan has brick depot Of
tasty design, far surprising that of
Bismarck, and has machine shops
which give employment to a good many
hands. Leaving Mandan the country a re-
sents for some distance nothing new, but
our attention is called to the bad lands OF
the Little M ri on our onward course.
The most striking and impressive view Of
natural scenery is here presented. 1t is true
view the most curious and interesting won
ders of nature, but canons, ravines and per-
pendieular precipices, mounds OF all sizes,
from hills to respectable mountains, can be
seen all along The theory is generally ac-
eepted that lake once existed where the
bad lands now are. I asked myself the
question how these people support them
selves, as there are n number Of fourishing
towns and villages as We passed along.
Nature has, however, otherwise provided, for
three extensive coal mines are situated there,
which give employment to large number Of
persons. The territory OF Montana
is entered, and Glendive, on the
Yellowstone river, is passed. This
is quite fourishing place with
every prospect Of becoming an important
centre Of trade in that region. As the name
indicates, Montana Is the country Of large,
lofty mountains, which can be seen on every
side, yet there are fertile valleys, especially
ADAPTED for stock grazing. and also for agri-
cultural purposes. was told from authentic
sources that mountain wheat yields thirty 10

WlSCONSIN'S WISDOM.
The State to Give It's Vote to Cleveland
for Change.

LA CROSSE, Sept. 13.-At no time during
the presidential canvass in Wisconsin has
the political feeling been so warm and ami
mated as at present. Both parties seem to
be alive to the fact that Wisconsin is fighting
ground, and It now looks as though the fight
would be bitter and close. 4 month ago the
Republicans claimed they would carry this
state by 10000, bu. there seems to be an un-
dercurrent that has so completely changed
the aspects of Republican success that the
leaders Of the party now think it wise 10 act
on the defensive. The cause is very appar-
ent and can be easily pretended. Tn.
German vote Of this state is fully one-third
Of the total vote, ard circumstances now
point to the fact that fully seven-eighths of
this vote will be cast for Cleveland and
Hendricks. a comprehensive view
can b. had wheL one considers the way the
Germans have been voting in direct state
elections. Fully two-thirds Of their vote has
been cast with the Republicans. One OF the
leading judges in this district, Republican,
frankly acknowledged but few days ago
that unless the Republicans could stop the
rush of Germans to C'cveland's support,
Wisconsin would go Democratic. In this
opinion he is eminently sound. and his Oh
seTvations indicate that he is right.
Another and defiant faction the Repub-
Heans must contend against is the prohibit
ton vote. The prohibitionists have placed a
full state and congressional ticket in the
field, and their vote will in all probability
reach 5000 OF 10000, the great majority Of
this vote coming from the Republican ranks.
There is no use trying to disguise these
facts.
Mr. Blaine is not popular with the great
mass Of Republicans in this state, aud con-
seqGently they do not enthuse. There is a
grave yet determined opposition to the Re-
publican machine. This state at its last
election BIZ congressiona al districts went Dem
ocrat:c. The Democrats are everywhere
united and enthusiastic, ard meyer more
confident.

ticket, Is a strong man. Jerry Rusk, the Re
pelican guDernatorisl candidate, ac-
kuoEIedges closely contested fght ahead,

PAINFUL CASUAL TY.
David Cover, an Old and Esteemed
Citizen of Saltwater
Drowned.
Special Telegram to the Globe. |

SALTWATER, Mimi, Sept. 14.-This morn
ing Mr.. David Cover, an old resident of thi S
city, and a well known lumberman, was ac-
cidentally drowned in the lake at Mat Clark S
mill. 1t appears that Mr.. Cover at about 9
O'Clock went down to the lake to examine
into some brails OF logs he had west of the
mill, as he has been engaged in the fair all
week, being vice president OF the Washing
ton County Agricultural association. After
looking at his logs he went to Matt. Clark 5
mill and was seen on the slip, and afterward
on the logs. and the cook on the boat
Hersey saw him disappear from there. Not
coming home to dinner, his family became
alarmed, as his dog, which accompanied
him, came home about II o'clock, acting
strangely. A party connected with Matt
Clark's mill saw his hat on the log and in
formed those searching of what he had found.
Search was at once made for his body, but
it has not been found so far, and the search
has been discontinued till this morning.
Mr.. Cover was tifty-seven years of age, and
for the past twenty-seyer years has been a
resident of Oak Park. For many years he
was largely engaged in numbering, but of
late years he has given more of his attention
to farming, in which he has been most sue
cessful. The occurrence has cast gloom over
he city, as no one was better known than
he. 1t is not known that he was in any diff
ficulties, and he must have slipped while
walking on the logs. For the past week he
was one of the active men on the fair
grounds, having charge of the floral hall
1t was under his superintendent that
the new sheds were erected,
as his judgment was always
taken by the officers and directors in such
work. He was man who took high
standard as his motto, and has done much
for the good of this city and Oak Park. He
leaves wife and three sons, the eldest of
which is in Arizona, and the other two are
| at home. There is great excitement at Oak
Park and especially around the blacksmith
shop, where the graphing hooks are being
made. 1t may be somtime before the body
is found, as the day was windy and his hat
might have blown some distance. The
steamers went there tonight with their elec-
trio lights, giving the searchers all the aid in
their power, but at nine o'clock the search
was discontinued until morning

of Interest to Hardwaremen.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, Sept. IA decision OF
great interest to the hardware trade through
out the country was rendered Saturday by
Judge shipman in the United Stat; 5
circuit court at Hartford, Conn,
in the case Of the Steam Gauge
and Lantern company against Edward
Miller 81 Co. The suit involved the validity
of the tubular lantern patents and has been
litigated with great acrimony during the past
three years, and has by all lantern manu-
facturers in the country been considered a
test case. The court sustains the validity Of
the patents, declares the defendants Ian
terms an infringement, and grants a pre-
emptory injunction restraining further vio-
lations of the com mplainist's right with dam
ages for past iniringements.

SIIao WrinLf

This well known stallion that has recently
fnislad up a contest with Mr.. Grattan's
Herod at the state fair, has proved himself
stallion of great speed endurance and quail
ity. Sies Wright is bay and was sired by
c. A. DeGraff's well known Alexander, one
of the best horses ever owned in Minnesota.
Siles Wright trotted on the track in st. Paul
in his four-year-old form, several years ago,
and all who saw the performance agreed then
that he was horse of great substance. He
is strong, well built, and has great deal of
speed. Many who saw him trot his races in
st. Paul, as referred to have expressed their
regrets that this son of the great Alexander
should have been put in the stud instead Of
being developed for his speed He is the
only colt of this great sire that has received
any training and not much of it either.

There will be meeting of the old resi-

The services yesterday at the NJ. E. church
were most interesting and appropriate for
harvest home celebration. The decorations
were fine, and there were not too much to
make it overdone. On the table in front OF
the preacher was table loaded with fruits
and vegetables, which were very choice. To
the right of this were all kinds of grains, in
shock and singly, with cornucopias with diff
ferent products. The attendance was large
and the offerings liberal.
The excursion by the Cleon on Saturday
evening was pleasant affair, although there
was not as many present as expected. The
steamer went down the lake instead of uu
towards Marine, as the logs were running
too thickly. They went as far as Catfish bar
and got back to the Duluth docks at about
midnight. Those who were present were
much pleased with the steadiness of the
boat, and tripped the light fantastic to the
entertaining notes of the piano manipulated
under the first class skill of Prof Jones.
Mr.. Freeman having bought the Dodge
mill at South Saltwater, he will begin saving
at an early date. Mr.. H. c. Ferguson, who
has been for long time with the Matt Clark
Lumber company, takes charge, and there is
no fear but the business will be attended to-
MIR. R. W. Kerr takes Mr. Ferguson's posi-
ton with Matt Clark, the change being a
good one all round, as it is not often that
men of such business ability as Messrs
Ferguson and Kerr are met with. We are
sorry to lose Mr.. Ferguson, but when he
gains by the change we are satisfied.

During last week the National Trotting
Horse Breeders association, held an un-
usually interesting meeting. The trotting
was better than usual, and the whole meet
ing showed an improvement. On Wednes-
day those who were present were treated to
a genuine surprise by the speed shown by
Early Dawn, a four-year old bay FLY, by
George Wilkes, who showed an easy gait in
2:221S. She appeared with four others in
the Wilson stallion stakes for foals in 1850
(only for stations subscribed for), at $50
each, with SS,2 added subscribed for sires,
the value OF the stakes being So,4OO. The
entries for this race were Early Dawn, by Geo.
Wilks, dam by Mambriuo Chief: bl. f.Stenie,
by Kentucky Prince; b. c. Antonio. by
Messenger Duroc; I. Loughran's ch. g. by
Kentucky Prince. b. {. Minnette Medium,
by Administrator. Early Dawn, as soon as
tho word was given, deliberately trotted
around ell the others st the quarter and
opened long gap 50 the upper turn. From
there on the gap was widened, and the last
horse was nearly quarter OF mile in the
sca- when the mile was finished. The result
was thus announced by David Bonner, The
starting judge; early Dawn wins the race
aud the handsome purse OF So, 400 Time
s;a6A.' The performance created great
excitement Veteran horsemen look upon
ihe winner as having great future. The
track was slow. Half an hour later Early
Dawu trotsed an exhibition mile in e:ssA.
Tdis hlly, without DOUBT, can CT. the figures
down considerably below these. The man
nsr In which she did up these two heats sat-
.saed them that she was not extended to her
fullest speed. This animal presents another
instance OF the speed producing qualities of
