Dakota Convict Labor.

"a 81 4. B. j !
The directors OF the territorial peniten-
tiary have closed a contract with j.. NJ.
Bailey, Jr., OF Iowa, for the employment OF
the convicts for term OF five years. BY
the provisions OF the contract the territory
will receive for each man employed 20, 23
or 26 cents per day, according to. the time
OF service: The contractors will engage in
the manufacture OF barbed wire, and for
that purpose will at once put in five ma
chimes. This will employ about one-half OF
the III prisoners now confined, and being
the only place in the territory where barb
ed wire is made will in no way interfere
with any home industry. Arrangements
will be made to use portion OF the men in
the manufacture OF Irvine. ]. D. Cameron
& Co., OF this city, have made n contract
with Mr.. Bailey by which they are to have
the labor OF one-half the prisoners, and will
use them in cutting paving stone, for which
purpose the company will quarry and ship
the stone to the prison yard. r

Result of a Bad Example,

Augustus Erwin, drygoods salesman. OF
New York, shot his wife and put bullet
into his own abdomen. He is dying in the
hospital, while his wife is believed to be in a
fair way OF recovery. Erwin is Hebrew
twice the age OF his wife, who is Roman
Catholic and married him without her
fathers knowledge. The marriage was the
direct outcome OF the Victoria Morrisini
elopement. The girl Adele, whose father,
Patrick O'Thayne, is wealthy laundryman,
was classmate OF Victoria, and the sensa-
ton caused by ttsVic' scscnpade" apparently
suggested asimilar exploit to her tooroma
tic mind. Her own marriage occurred inn
mediately after, and was unexpected by
everybody. The BRIDES father has sup
ported them since, Erwin spending what
money he made on betting on horse races.
Lately Mr.. O'Thayne has made persistent
effort to wean his daughter away from him,
and all but succeeded in carrying her of to
Europe. The husband upset his plans in
the eleventh hour by q trick, and thesteam-
er sailed without his wife but with her faith
er on board. Immediately after Mrs. Err
win went to live with her stepmother. She
called at the hotel, at his request, for an
interview, and was then that he tried to
kill her and himself.

Hard times may explain the dullness
in the social world: It is said that
pleasure travel has been lighter this
summer than at any other time in more
than twenty. years. The watering
places are not thronged with fashion
able people and hotel reporters, as
rule, declare that money-losing Instead
of money -making, is the rule. Aside
from obvious reasons for this state OF
things, the question arises whether
summer pleasure seeking has not been
overdone, and whether both rich and
poor are not imbibing more sensible
notions Of recreation and pleasure.

Millions of Acres Opened to Settlers.

The United States Land Commissioner
Sparks has addressed letter to the regis
ter and receiver OF the land office at Walla,
Walla, WASH, whichis, in effect, n decision
withdrawing indemnity limits along
nearly every land grant railroad in the
United States. It affects not less than 49,
900, 900 acres, as estimated by the land Of
fico authorities. OF these, IL, 900, 900 acres
belong to the Northern Pacific, in whose linz
its the test case arose. A like amount
is affected along the Atlantic & Pacific, g.
DOC, 900 along the Southern Pacific and e.
10000 along the Texas Pacific. Every
land grant in Minnesota and Dakota is az
fected by the decision. The railroads have
had some income and not little advan-
tage by the maintenance OF in
demnity limits, reserving from public
settlement large bodies OF land lying
parallel to their grants. The effect was
to compress settlement within the granted
lands, and to enhance their value. At the
same time the Dads have been in the habit
OF selling their waiver to the indemnity
lands whenever settler wants to settle on
them bad enough to do SO. Besides these,
still other advantages were possible in de-
ferring the section OF 'tlien" lands, as they
are called. In some cases rich lands have
been held out OF market for twenty-five
years under the claims of railroads Obvi-
ously they had increased great deal in
value. Tho decision made, will compel the
railroads to select theirlien lands promptly,
and not allow them to wait and reject poor
grades OF land in their grants and select in
lieu OF it the best in the indemnity grants.
1t is not unlikely that this action on the
part OF the general land office will greatly
stimulate immigration another year.

Return of Middleton's Army to winni

the exception Of the Midland battalion and
Sixty fifth, OF Montreal, who went east from
Selkirk, the former in haste to arrive at
Port Hope to attend the funeral OF
their colonel, Williams, whose body
was sent from Battleford. Boats and
barges, after forty eight hours on Lake
Winnipeg, arrived at Selkirk this morning,
their coming having been announced by
courier from the mouth OF the Red river.
There was an enthusiastic reception.
Lunch, as they call it, was served under the
trees by the banks OF the Red river, and
those who preferred milk on account OF it's
rarity drank it. The rest dind't and were
not allowed to thirst. After the gorge and
the grandiloquenee, the mayor OF the city pre-
scented to Gen. Middleton and his troops a
complimentary address well worded.
Crowds filled all the highways, and the
byways TEEN with people eager to greet
the boys whose Homecoming has been SO
long and ardently looked for. From the
depot the troops marched up Main
street to a stand erected in front of
the city hall, and were there addressed
by City Clerk Brown, Premier Norquay and
Lieut.. GOV. Alkens, Gen. Middleton and
his brilliant staff werein front OF the stand,
and the general replied to Browns official
welcome. 1t is understood that sympa-
thizers OF Riel in the United States are re-
spending in q generous way to his appeal
for assistance to enable him to have a fair.
trial. It is difficult now to find any one
who will say that Riel will be hanged. There
is little doubt that sooner or later he will
escape from prison and return to his home
in Montana, where he will be secure
from extradition.
