The heavy weights, England and
Russia, will soon be pummeling
each other in fine style. The re-
mainder of Europe will look on
pleased spectators. Possibly Italy
may give little aid and comfort to
England, but the Britishers won't
need it. When the Bull gets his
horns well in and gives them two or
three twists he will make something
more vital than the fur fly. The
Bear may scratch and hug and thus
delay his doom for a while but his
defeat is certain at last.
Looking at tombstones at night
may be very romantic, but if a
young lady hasn't the nerve she had
better remain at home. Several
young ladies in Ohio took look al
graveyard under the electric light
and the result is one of the number
drops dead. Stay at home girls and
the ghosts-realistic ones-will DROP
in.

Been Here Before.

Henry Keller, president of the First
National bank of Sank Center, came up
with the excursionists Sunday. He
was up through this country in 1868,
and belonged to the Tenth U. S. infan-
try at that time. He was as far west as
the Moose river country. He was very
favorably impressed with this city and
its surroundings, and expects to be back
here again in a short while to introduce
a tanning mill to the farmers, which he
claims beats anything in the world.
He is quite an inventor, having now
some eight or ten patents of his own.
Mr.. Keller feels proud of the Sank Cen.
ter band, and with good reason, as they
as well as the Fergus Falls band treated
our citizens to an elegant open-air con-
cert, which was enjoyed by all lovers of
good music. Mr.. Keller says this is only
the beginning of the friendly relation
ship between Sank Center and Devils
Lake, and hopes it may grow stronger,
both socially and in a business point of
view, as We grow older.

A Road Which Needs reform


Editor Inter- Ocean: Allow me through
the columns of your paper to call atten-
ton to the terrible condition of the
roads leading out of town to the west
after the last rain. They are virtually
impossible with a load, and if they are
not put in better condition before the
crops begin to be hauled in and we
should happen to have a wet autumn
it will be a serious thing for our town.
There will be more wheat coming in on
that road than any other, if passable,
and it is really the only side on which
we have competition. Put these two
things together and the importance of
having the road fixed becomes appar-
ent. 1t is singular that while the 5000
voted last fall is spent on unimportant
roads away out, this piece of road that
has as much travel over it as all the
others is left unimproved. Which ought
to be fixed first-the trunk roads near
town. where everybody has to travel, or
the cart roads out twenty miles in the
country leading from one farmer to his
best neighbor. The way that bridge
fund was handled looks like a 'iob,"
but is presumably only reform" by our
Democratic administration.

From the Larimore Pioneer we learn
the facts concerning the recent deaths
from lightning in that city. The names
of the victims are James Byrnes and

A Slick One.

William Lewis, aformer citizen Of this
city, who engaged in claim jumping
here and who was afterwards arrested
for petty larceny and convicted, is now
engaged in the more pleasant out door
exercise Of appropriating other peoples
horses to his own use. Benson county
has been the seat of his operations lately,
but Sheriff Shore caught him with the
assistance of the Indian police, on the
reservation. He had a couple of horses
in his possession. The sheriff had to 60
to Jerusalem to'get some evidence Of
Lewis horse trading deals and left him
in the Indian Jail guarded by two off,

the post to take his prisoner to Benson
county the bird had flown. He had cut
through the Jail floor and dug out under

hunting for him and expect to catchhim.

Sundays Excursion.

An excursion train arrived here
Sunday morning from Sank Center,
Mimi, and intermediate points, bearing
between three and four hundred excur-
sionists, including the Sank Center and
Fergus Falls brass bands. The day was
spent making excursions on the lake,
rendering frst-class music and having a
grand good time. 1t isn't every town
that can afford three bands on Sunday.
We understand that there will be ex.
cursions every Sunday until harvest

Judge Deadly, Of the United States
district court Of Oregon, says the Fargo
Republican, recently rendered a decis:
ion in q case involving the right Of the
government to revoke q title to pre-.
empted lands after q certificate of entry
and purchase has been issued by the
receiver Of a local land office. In this
case fraud in obtaining title was alleged,
and, o. the recommendation Of the
local land Office officials, the general
commissioner ordered q cancellation Of
the filing and entry. 1t was afterwards
taken before the secretary Of the int.
rior, who affirmed the decision Of the
commissioner, and the entry was &C.
cordingly cancelled. The Oregon court
sustained the validity of the title, hold
ing that a certificate of purchase confers
upon the pre-emptor an equitable title,
and entities to a legal one as soon as a
patent can be issued. In rendering his
decision Judge Deadly said: "a certifi.
cate of purchase issued in due form in
favor Of a pre-emptor for land subject
to entry under the presumption law,
cannot be cancelled or set aside by the
land department for alleged fraud in oh.
tanning it,"
Gov. Austin's attention being called to
the case by Republican reporter yes.
terday, he stated that a number of sim.
liar cases had come up in the Fargo
land Office during the past two years,
and that in several of them the titles
were crooked and the entries cancelled.
The department at Washington, he said
had always held that fraud in obtaining
titles is sufficient ground for their revo.
cation. Several inferior courts had de.
cided differently, but the department
had never recognized their decision AZ
final, and the question will never be au.
~thoritatively settled until it is brought
before the supreme court of the United
States. Gov. Austin expressed it as his
private opinion that the land depart
ment had no right to revoke a title afte,
a certificate to purchase has once beer
issued.

Special Correspondence of the IsrER-OcEAx.
BoDEE Town, July 0.-Beautiful
weather for the rapidly growing crops.
Haying has just begun. Farmers find
their hay some lighter this year than
last, but they find it far better quality.
The Jones brothers, who are break
ing on their tree claims on sections 10,
IL and 10, are doing excellent work.
They have broken ITO acres this season
and seeded 100, with six oxen, and an
ticipate breaking so acres more before
harvest. This goes to show that the
bovine genus of quadrupeds is a very
useful animal in the wheat fields of Da-
kota. The boys are genuine Dakotans,
and possess every quality that goes to
make up the gentleman.
Messrs. Burke and Tierney have
broken IS acres this summer. For the
length Of time they have been here the
boys have'done admirably we'll. They
have now begun haying and will put up
about fifty tons. They are honest tillers
of Dakota's fertile soil.
j. H. Boden recently purchased two
Woods binders and one Buffalo Pitts
thresher to be used on his bonanza
farm here. Romeo never does anything
by halves, but is always alive to the re.
quirements of a successful farmer.
Lawrence II. Ryson made final proof
last week On his share of this Justly
famous garden spot. Mr.. R. has a first
class farm and will now begin with re-
newed vigor to search for the hidden
treasure.
This township was organized on the
( 30th ult., under the name of Boden, and
! officers elected to set the gubernatorial
machine in running order. There is
only one thing the people OF this local
ity lack to make them the happiest
people in Dakota, and that IS a post
office. 1t is sometimes weeks before
| the industrious bachelor is enabled to
reach the ~postoffce to get that long ex-
pected epistle from his "my dear little
Bird" and if you have been through the
"mill" you know just how he feels.
Come to Boden township, all ye adj
mirers of golden grain. View this beau
tiful agricultural panorama in its in
fancy and you will conceive that a scene
of fertility amazing to contemplate has
met your gaze. You will be convinced
that Dakota was destined to be the
granery of the world. He who lives to
behold its near future will witness a
fruitful and prolific country, unsur-
passed by any on the globe. Turn
where you will, and by the aid of inn
aginatlon, as seen through half closed
eyes, the scene is transformed to one
vast sea wherein the humble sod shan
ties and the more substantial farm
buildings appear like 80 many barges
and stately ships aloat upon its waters.
Surely the poet who sang. t'There's a
land that is fairer than this,' never be-
held Dakota at this season of the year.
! Had he viewed it as its wheat fields ap-
pear today the burden of his song
would have been:
o, glorious spot-it is a sight to see
What heaven hath done for this delightful land;
What flowers Of fragrance blush by lake and lea;
What goodly prospects DER these scenes expand,
Each hill the home Of honest husbandry,
Each home more blessed than any palace grand.
