AYERS
Hair Vigor

restores, with the gloss and freshness Of
youth, faded or gray hair to q natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired.
By its use light or red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thiokened, and badness often,
though not always, cured.
1t checks falling of the hair, and stimu.
lates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. 1t
prevents and cures scurf and dandruff. and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. As Ladies' Hair Dressing, tho
VIGoR is unequalled; 1t contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
MR.. G. P. BRIcHER writes from Kirby; o.,

Mr.. ANGUS FAInBAIRN, leader of the

MRS. o. A. PRESCOTT, writing from 1s Elm,

should Judge Francis SO interpret the law as
to defeat the will of the majority (Which we
do not think probable) it will not make mat
tiers better to become excited and tear passion
to latters. Another election will occur in less
than two years, and then the people will zee to
it that there will be no question as to the ma
jority. On the other hand, should the decision
be favorable TO Shertrookc, we hope there will
be no more suibbline on the part Of those who
have raised this question. We hope in that

Dakota Legislature.
In the council on Friday last an amendment
to the capital removal bill was adopted pro
vding that the property be returned to the
persons who contributed labor, material or
money.
Mr.. Kennedy, the introduser Of the removal
bill, moved to strike cut the words "Pierre, in
the county Of Hughes" wherever they occur
in the bill, and insert "Ordway, in the county
of Brown" This led to an acrimonious de-
bate, in which the capital commission and ex-
Gov. Ordway were alluded to In no very com
plimentary terms, Messrs. Kennedy, Gamble,
PetIigrew, and Ruetson taking part in the dis
cussion. The amendment was hnally adopted
by vote of12 10 10, Messrs. Hustson, Wagner,
Bowdle and Kennedy voting with the members
from North Dakota. 1t is generally conceded
that this will kill the bill.
On Saturday Jud LaMoure was seated by
unanimous vote.
A bill was introduced changing the name Of
Ordway to Independence.
bill was passed creating the county Of Gar
field from parts Of Sphinx and Beadle, and To-
eating the county seat at Altoona. The bill
also provides that the esunty of Sphinx shall 10

Is to be located at Ashton.
A bill extending the time for paying taxes
from Feb. to June l, passed.
The house OH Saturday referred the capital
removal bill to special committee consisting
of Messrs. Southworth, Williams, Miller, Ward
and Huntington.
MI. Hutehinson, whose seat is contested by
Mr.. Anderson, of Steele, filed additional papers
in his case Saturday, and was allowed five
days in which to produce witnesses and eyi-
dence.
On Tuesday Mr.. Steele introduced bill In
the house fixing twenty-five cents as the rate
for telegraph messages in the Territory.
A joint committee to confer with the Mime
sofa Legislature on the subject Of grain grad
ing, etc., consisting Of Kennedy, Walsh, Aus

Pacific have been supplied for several years At
this psint Sims, there are three veins which
are three feet and seven feet respectively In
depth. The heavier and deeper veins, OF course,
are best, because they are more dense and are
freer from foreign matter, and have rested un-y
der heavier pressure. The deeper beds, too,
are older. The coal is Ignite, and only lacks
age and pressure to become a valuable for all
purposes az the bitumineus and anthracite
esals. It lisa newer formation Of coal and is
much like the brown coal Of Europe. 1t has
the appearance Of eharred wood, and burns
quickly and makes q hotter and quicker fire
than anthracite.
With stoves adapted to It's use, coupled with
experience in handling, 1t is far preferable TO
wood or hard coal. The writer 10 using it in
six stoves and in all 1t gives perfect satisfac-
ton.
Lastfall Capt Bennett opened a vein three
and half miles east Of the city, and few
weeks ago R. B. Walker opened vein nine
miles east Of Bismarck. This coal is delivered
In the city at "a per ton from the several mines
in tho vicinity. The farmers in many instances
are using coal from veins on their own farms,
and there is one instance where the farmer
only needs to 90 down cellar to get into his
coal bank.
The coal beds in the vicinity of Fort Steven
son are from i've to niue feet in depth, and the
coal has been in use at that post for the past
twelve years.

five below zero, when one would scarcely care
to stand outdoors in his shirt-sleeves but it
has generally been bright and clear, and there
has not been single day in which It has not
been possible for farmers to travel back and

The argument is frequently advanced that
the county seat Should not be removed to Sher-
brooke because there is no town or railroad
there. The same objection might have been
urged only few years since against every
town in Dakota. II should be remembered
that it takes but a few months in Dakota to
build town. But this argument simply begs
the question. The people Of the county have
spoken with 10 uncertain voice in this matter,
and as they have made the selection, they will

that may be occasioned by the removal Of the
county seat to Sherbroeks. The will of the
