! to fifteen thousand people in a very few
! years. 1t will be a railroad center, having
four roads now and expecting three more.
Last year a colony from Pennsylvania set
tied in Kidder county, and their reports
sent back have been uniformly favorable. 1t
| is stated that in consequence another colony
of 100 or mere families will go to the same
| section this season, probably arriving the last
of May. The indications are that quite a
number of other colonies will find homes
and form communities in the north this
| year.
| The anticipation that little interest would
be excited in the municipal election at Fargo
was not quite sustained by the facts. The
supporters of both tickets crowded some of
the largest halls Saturday night, and under
the excitemnt of impassioned oratory worked
| themselves up to nearly the wonted glow,
and for a few subsequent hours the more
| patriotic painted the town and became recep-
tacles for torrents of beer flowing rapidly
| At the election Monday there was hardly less
| intensity than the year before and good
deal Of unexpected voting was done.
The results attained by Col. Morton in his
poultry combinations have stimulated special
interest in that line in various sections. In
| Hamline county j Cass has produced vari-
! ETY. that he calls the s'Dakota Pheasant" a
cross between Plymouth Rocks and Houdans.
| 1t is not claimed for these, like those of Col.
| Morton, that they have musical qualities,
| but they lay eggs of astonishing size. Mr..
| Cass has shown a number that measure
| eight and one-half inches in circumference
| and five and one-Quarter inches in dame
| ter. 1t is believed that no egg product has
| ever reached these proportions of the domes-
tic poultry order.
AT the close of the revival Meetings in Far
| go, held under the direction of Evangelist
| Williams, he spent week at Moorhead, or
| East Fargo, conducting similar work, and
met very great success. At the closing meet
ing Sunday night the opera house was packed,
and the deepest interest was manifest The
social evil people, when driven from Fargo,
| cross the river and have made Moorhead
noted for their frequency. AS result of the
religious awakening, it is said efforts will be
made to dispense them.
| While there was not much ''political poll
tics' in the late legislature, the members
were mostly Republicans. and there is dis
position to hold that party responsible and
| try to build up Democratic party that will
hold it in check and relieve it of some of the
responsibility. This feeling is indicated in
the more independent of the Republican
papers, as, for instance, in talk like this
from the Scranton Pioneer: The only way to
prevent constant and perpetual stigma of
| disgrace from fastening itself upon Dakota,
will be to organize against rascality wherever
found, and to educate the people that blind
party prejudice is not the best for their in
terests. If party can not, or will not,
purge itself, then it is time that outside in
fuences should be brought to bear to suppress
charlatanism that uses the cloak of party to
serve as cover to schemes of personal gain
and ambition. We are a Republican and
| always have been SO, but when we look at
the leaders of that grand old party in Dakota
and see through the gauziness of their pre-
tensions, we feel like Lady Macbeth when
she exclaimed: "Out, damned spot! out I
say"
