| nun ity as that occasioned by the death of E
B. Eddy, president Of the First National
bank. He was one Of the financial pillars OF
the place, had brought more capital here di-
rectly and by his influence than any other
man, and had larger means under his con-
troll than any other citizen. He had the
unbounded confidence of all, and was at the
front in every enterprise for the benefit of the
place, and the evidences of his liberaIity and
benefcence are all about the city. He was
leading Methodist and will be greatly
missed
The Ipswich Tribune takes this view, which
is evidently growing in the central region i:
''The sentiment for admission as a whole is
gaining strength in South Dakota. Ii North
Dakotians, aud especially the citizens of
Bismarck, had maintained q bold front and
supported their earnest convictions on this
question, we have no doubt but what the
division howl would have died the natural
death it deserved. Let Dakota be admitted
as whole, or else remain a territory until
its citizens can be reconciled to dwell in har-
mony and concord"
A writer in the Canton News notes this
fact, which is becoming universal in the ter
ritory: In no other newly settled country
are the same advantages afforded for educa-
ton that We have in Dakota When we
told California friends that between Sioux
Falls and Lincoln Centre there were found
in ride of twenty miles seven good, Turn
ished school houses with patent improved
seats, globes, aud other modern improve
ments, rs proof of what sort Of men were
settling in Dakota, it seemed too wonderful
for belief.
Prof. Ufford, the schoolfellow of VIM
Allen, the noted fog-horn executive of Ohio,
is distinguishing himself as humorist at
the head of the CasseIton Courier, and will
be heard from in the lighter phases of jour
nalism.
The Scotland Citizen says: ''The Cardiff
Giant, the great stone humbug which puz-
zled scientists and attracted hosts of people
to see it dozen years ago, is now at Huron
and serves as an attraction at skating rink.
1t is said to be palmed off as the "scup'' of
a late ex-governor of Dakota. To what base
uses!''
Phelps and Bader were held for murder
without bail for killing the Indian on sDog
Island in the Sioux reservation. Apparently
the red fellows are not legitimate game any
more.
Dakota has taken the second prize at New
Orleans on cheese, but don't like the idea o t
being second even on cheese.
Jas. A. Davidson, of Mason City, Mich, is
looking in the Missouri river region near the
46th parallel, for body of land for colony
Of 100 families from Michigan. It's believed
that there will be an unusual number of col
onies located this spring. If they take gov
eminent land they will be obliged to 90 well
to the north.
AS Fargo has no public institutions that
require inspection by the legislature, the lat
ter will not be invited as a body to visit the
city on the 21st, but all the members will be
and periodically eat and drink in memory of
George Washington. As it is a holiday they
cannot work, and it will not cut into their
time at all. 1t is believed that the enterpris-
ing citizens of Fargo will give them quite as
cheerful welcome as they have found any
where, The county is the biggest taxpayer
in the territory, but has never had an appro-
priation.
1t is claimed to be about settled that the
burned hotel in Fargo, the Continental, will
be rebuilt, or a larger and better structure
erected the coming season on the old site on
Broadway. President Sargent, of the Fargo
Southern, is said to be at the head of u syn
dictate that will furnish the money. 1t will
be four or five stories in height, and contain
all the Improvements. Moorhead has two
hotels superior to either of the Fargo hostel
ries, and one is much needed on the west
side of the river. The Fargo Southern is in
terested in having the old site selected, as il
is more convenient to that road than the
Eighth street location.
