Farmers Wanted.

Garry the glad tidings to the farm
ers of the cold, shivering east that
spring has opened and everything is
blooming and gay in the west Mis-
souri, valley. The snow has disap-
peared, excepting a few shaded drifts.
The west Missouri slope is the place
for farmers to come to. The season
is from two to three weeks earlier
here than farther east, and every
week counts. This makes this coun-
try desirable for the farmers.
who are the main stay of the COM
monwealth, therefore we would in
vite all intending settlers to give the
west Missouri slope a call before SET
thing elsewhere, and look at our adj
vantages. We feel satisfied that if
they do. they will stay with us in
preference to other locations. We
say this not to detract their attention
from many other excellent localities,
but to call them to us and see what
kind of people we are, and what kind
Of a country we have, for their own
interests as well as ours.-Mandan

North Dakota is the Name.

The assumption at Washington and
i'm South Dakota that North Dakota
will be content with the name of Lin.
coin proposed in the Harrison bill for
the portion Of the territory north of
the 10th parallel is baseless. There
is universal respect for the memory
of Abraham Lincoln, and if the name
OF any man was to be applied to the
territory none would be more accept
able. But the north claims the name
OF Dakota as the trademark of it's
chief product, and it has a CONNER
cial value. 1t will not willingly sur.
render the name. Let congress split
off as many states as it will, fill the
offices with retired statesmen from
Minnesota OF other states, deny it the
requisite courts, refuse it needed pub.
JIG buildings andkeep bulldogs to guard
the government timber patches, but
the great belt that is famed for it's
No. l hard; will cling to the name
Of pakota,-Fargo Argus.

THE prominence which Col. Louns-
berry has attained by his candidacy
for the governorship of Dakota r.
veals the fact that all the leading
newspapers support him for the posi-
ton and among all the candidates
there is not one who would give as
general satisfaction to the people of
the territory as Colonel L.ounsberry.
The people are heartily sick of being
governed by eastern men who have
nc more idea of their needs than a
foreigner from owe the ocean. The
west is so far ahead of the east in en-.
terprise and business vim and the
ways of the people so different, that
they demand a Dakotan,-one who
is heart and soul one of themselves
for governor, and the favor which the
mann of Col. Lounsberry is met with
is strong point on which to base
strong hopes of his becoming our
next governor.

WE publish this week an allie and
interesting article in regard to this
part Of the territory from the pen of
DIR. S. Pelton, of Maryland, who is
now looking the country over with
a view to locating a number of set
tiers. This is the beginning of a
series of letters from the DR.. which
will appear in our columns from week
to week and coming, as they do, from
the pen of an eastern man and one
who is well known throughout the

weight in showing the advantages of

THE grand tide of emigration from
the east to Dalota's broad domain is
setting in with a rush that far ex-
ceeds anything of the kind ever eX-
perienced in the history of the terri
tory. Even the great rush which
took place to the gold fields of the
Black Hills a few years ago is being
outstripped by the rush of settlers to
the rich farming land of North OAK
ota. The trains from the east are
crowded with a grand army of land
hunters and brave men seeking the
fertile fields of Dakota, which they
intend to conquer with that mighty
w%eapon-the plow-and turn them
into vast fields of golden grain which
will enrich their Golfers and give
them a home surrounded by sun
shine and happiness.

THERE are a few newspapers Oh

in the face of the facts, still persist
in claiming Medora as the point from
which the Black Hills freight route
will leave the railroad. We have re.
ceiyed between three and four hun
dred thousand pounds of Black Hills
freight at this point and Medora has,
as yet, not received 2pound. Those

MANITOBA AND CANADA.
Amos Rowe, of the Winnipeg Times,
Interviewed, and Gives His
Opinion of the Sit
nation,

CHICAGO, March 8.-Amos Rowe, pro-
prietor of the Winnipeg Times, is in the city
on his way to Manitoba, after sojourning a
couple of weeks at the Dominion capital. He
said, upon being questioned by representa-
tive of the Associated Press, in regard TO the
present agitation in Manitoba, and the de-
mands by the legislature of that province, that
the Dominion government had con-
ceded the granting to COM
pany for the construction of the
Winnipeg and Hudson Bay railway, free
subsidy of 1890 acres per mile. The pro-
posed line is about 600 miles long. The char
ter will be granted at this session of parlia-
ment and will provide for its immediate con-
struction. The government has also appro-
priated s15, 900 to provide for the survey OF
the Hudson straits. A steamer will soon
start from Newfoundland for that purpose,
and report on the practicabliity of that
route as an outlet will soon be made. The
distance from the Hudson Bay coast to Liy-
erpool is something less than from
New York The Dominion government will
also, in all probability, grant to Manitoba the
proceeds of the sale Of each alternate section
of land in the province yet unsold, and also
of all the tribal lands, reserving only the
right to administer the sale of these lands.
At the capital these are considered very fair
propositions by the leading politicians, and
Mr.. Rowe said, in conclusion, that from the
best obtaianble information he could say
that these were all the demands the Domin-
ion government would concede

The School Teachers.

The monthly meeting Of teachers was held
as usual yesterday at the high school building.
At first but few were present, but others COM
ing in afterwards quite large number final
" gathered. After vocal duet the superin-
tendent made several announcements, and
an interesting paper on geography was read
by Miss Hand. Mr.. Lichtenberger gave sew
eral readings which were well received, es-
pecially the one on sneezing, which he illus
trated.
The report of the committee appointed to
consider the studies of history and geogra-
ply were read by the superintendent, and
were adopted.
The next thing in order consisted of some
suggestions by the superintendent for the
consideration of the teachers, as follows:
First-That the general meetings be held
only when considered necessary.
Secondhand the further use of the spell
ing book in school be dispensed with.
Third-The ACCESSIBILITY of diminishing the
number of examinations from four to two
per year.
Fourth-The ACCESSIBILITY of throwing the
study of physiology out of the seventh and
eighth grades.
Fifth-Of combining the recitation of gen
eral lessons with the study Of geography.
At the conclusion of the suggestions by
the superintendent, Mrs. Warren, wife of the
author of Warren's Physical Geography,
stated that she would like to form classes in
elocution if they desired to avail themselves
of the opportunity, after which the meeting

"A First Class Brute.

The case Of Florence Moody against Robert
H. Moody, for divorce, was heard by Judge
Brill, yesterday, and taken under considera-
ton, whose final result will without doubt be
the granting of the petition. The parties are
both quite young, the complainant being
only twenty years of age and q very well ap-
pearing little lady. They had been married
four years, and have pretty little three-year-
old daughter. The husband is by occupation
a news agent on one of the railroad trains,
and according to the testimony of the wife
and neighbors, has wantonly neglected his
family for strange women, and treated his
wife with the yilest brutality and cruelty, re-
peatedly beating her, blackening her eyes and
hopping the floor With her slender body. He
owns some property in Dakota, and ought to
be made disburse the same to this deeply in
jured wife, and besides be expressed down
to Maryland whipping post for thorough
stripping with the cat-o'-nine-talls.

ST PanI Choral Society

A new pianist, Madame Bastien Mucky,
will be heard at the next concert of the st.
Paul Choral society. Madame Mucky comes
from Montreal with good reputation as a
pianist, and has already many musical ad-
mirers in our city. Frank DAM, Jr., will be
another attraction. Mr.. DAM has always
been the st. Paul and Minneapolis musical
pet, and having been for several years one
of the first violinists of the Thomas orches-

to hear him again as violin soloist.

work, she will at once be acknowledged as a
