Some of the Dakota papers are amusing them
selves with the notion that Theo. Roosevelt is
putting in time on his ranch to be available as
delegate in Congress. The idea will be anus

The DEVILS Lake Inter Ocean pronounces the
St. Paul Pioneer Press s'the enemy of north Da-
kota," and concludes an article with this:
ssWere this the first time the Pioneer Press had
misrepresented this part of the territory and had
that journal ever deigned to retract single
of its numerous ISLANDERS upon people and
our prosperity, we should regard this last base
libel in the light of error of the head and not
of the heart
The Dakota Journal learns from Judge Smith
that in all probability he will not hold a term of
ri in hnf hn 1ott e Dct ,ba
He will hold his first term of court in Sphinx
county in early August then to Brown and
Douglass, which will occupy his time fully until
the supreme court meets in Yankton during the
first week in October. After adjournment there
he will probably hold court in Pierre.
The Dakota citizen seems a trife unhappy in
this: s'Gov. Pierce in his intercourse with the
people of Yankton left the impression on their
minds that he intended to Ordwayize and ac-
knowledge Bismarck the capital of the terri
tory. And in his association with some of the
boys of Yankton the 'tArkansaw traveller Gov
Pierces travelling companion, convinced them
that he had a very taking way AMI could ''draw''

rience is greater than the size of their pocket

interests of Dakota will lead him to accept this
position on account of the opportunities it af-
fords him to benefit the territory. 1t is conceded
that it would be big thing for Dakota if he
would be sent to congress, as he would be worth
u regiment of average men there, and have in
iuence in both parties
The Pierre J0uy1aL says: Alva Henderson
who murdered man named Griffin at Brook
ings, was captured by Sheriff Comford last Fri
day and taken to the scene of his crime. The
murder committed by Henderson was most cruel
| and unprovokcd, and had he been captured by
| the citizens his neck would have ornamented Il
rope. reward of S1,050 offered by the
authorities for the capture of Henderson, and
| that our worthy and nervy sheriff fortunate
enough to make the arrest our citizens will all be
| glad to learn.
| Since the call was made for the Pierre conven-
ton and it has become understood that Col
Raymond is virtually out of the race, candidates
are sprnging mp in all sections. The Black
| Hills have McMasters and Plowman, but will
probably mite on the former. Judge Bennett,
of Clark, Williams, Magic and dozen others are
named. In the north Allen and Donan, of
! Fargo, Col. Steele, Lounsberry and DIR. Bentley,
] of Bismarck, and any number of stables full Of
prancing dark horses. The opposition to Ray
mond is coming out like the small pox. Com
