| III Is related or a citizen or CaSSelt0n tna|
the morning of the frost last week he got
up at a. III. and poured water on his
plants to save them. Two hours later he
found the water had covered them with ice.
Ten men in Charles Mix county have
been arrested by the sheriff for cruelty beat
ing Matiji Dalejsi and wife, the latter it is
feared, fatally, as she was in delicate con-
ditlon. The trouble was over the right tC
certain land.
Parties from Minneapolis have leased
grounds in the vicinity OF Wahpeton to iii
up for picnics and pleasure parties, and il
is designed to have small steamer and row
boats on the Red river and Bots DIES Sioux
in that section.
| 1.-THE governor has pardoned p B. Smith
of Bismarck, sentenced to the penitentiary
sixteen months for assault on L. IL. Col
Inns. 1t was regarded as excessive punish
ment, and nearly every citizen of Bismarck
signed the petition.
Col. Lounsberry has been compelled to
resume control of the Bismarck Journal on
account of the unfortunate manner in which
it has been conducted. 1t is nominally, at
least, Democratic paper, and the colonel
is still Republican and postmaster.
The Idaho fraudulent and defaulting
| postmaster came near fleeing several Other
pOStofficeS in Dakota besides Yankton. He
drew orders on Fargo for 81, 500, DeadwOod
$1,000, and Bismarck $1,000, but failed to
| quite get the money. Fortunate accidents
| saved the government after the orders were
| issued.
The saloonkeepers at Bismarck have Or
gained base ball club and challenged the
preachers and editors. They offer as an
| incentive one beer at first base, doubling the
number at each successive base, but they
want to play on Sunday, which does not
suit the others.
The governor has decided to have both
regiments of the Dakota militia camp to-
| gether at some central, but not designated,
point this season. Most of the companies
are drilling frequently in view OF it, and
there will be much rivalry in this relation.
The regiments are both full.
Artesan wells seem to be success in
nearly every portion of the territory. One
at CasseltOn last week, at depth of 315
feet struck good quality of soft water,
from which two-inch stream is thrown
| fifty feetabove the surface. Several others
will be sunk in that city.
Sheriff Couchman of WalwOrth county is
dark horse in the contest for United States
marshal. He relies upon influences in New
York, and it is little known i'll the territory
| that he is in the field. Capt. Dan Marratta
is in Washington and regarded as having
the inside track, although he disclaimS any
| interest in the matter.
In view of the deluge recently in the Red
river region, it has tested Dakota piety to
discover the special benson conveyed by it.
The ground is thoroughly saturated and
getting into cellars and improvised lakes
have made it difficult to locate gardens and
wheat fields. But it improves the naviga-
ton of the Red river.
At Fargo and Huron the application of
| teachers for the public schools are about
| eight or ten to each position, showing a
| surplus of material of that sort. AT Fargo
the corps for the coming year was elected
Saturday night, and the salaries raised to
$65 month, principal 81, 600 year.
The Fargo Southern is offering induce
ments to people along the road to spend
Sundays at the attractive lake resorts on
the line Thy Issuing round trip tickets
good from Saturday to Monday at about
one-fourth rates. Ortonville, Graceville,
| White Rock and Wahpeton are some of the
pleasant resorts.
In parts Of South Dakota grubs have ap-
peared in great numbers in the box elder,
| which has been a favOrite tree in the terri
| tory, and there are apprehensions that seri-
Gus damage will result. The woody part
in which they settle is said to swell to
double the usual size. but no change is
noted in the leaf as yet.
The records kept show an annual increase
of rainfall in Dakota. This season there
has been all desired in all sections, and a
Jim River valley paper finds that more has
fallen in that section the past month than
in Minneapolis. There is no doubt that the
development of the country is making a
material change in this respect.
The Grand Forks Herald anticipates that
4,500 will cover the population of that
place, which has been estimated by Mr..
Walsh at 6, 500. 1t says many of the citi-
zens are absent holding claims, and will
| probably be counted Oh their claims and
again at Grand Forks. The towns gener-
ally will shrink and the rural regions show
the large gains.
Capt. Murphy, the popular head of the
bright and handsome Evening Plaindealer,
at Grand Forks, has visited most of the
| towns of the North, and finds the warmeSt
! encouragement to lead off as the Demo-
cratic daily of the North. He is one of the
see the grand field before him. He has %
men on his pay roll, including 10 or -
ladies.
Hon. Jud La Moure, the member of the
legislature, of the David Crockett school,
who acquired note by his attacks ON news
papers, is reported by the papers of his
county as so disguised with politics that he
will devote his entire time in the future to
the training of two cinnamon bears he has
lately bought. He expects to have them
ready to exhibit at the next session of the
legislature. Great success is predicted for
him in his new role.
| The editor of the Brule Index at KIM
ball, claims to have in his possession sill
yer coin little larger than dime, smooth
on both sides and not trimmed, that was
found at depth of lao feet in boring for a
well, also section of socket bone thought
to be from man of enormous size. The
editor is not given to rOorbacks and invited
the owner of the coin to prove ownership,
and he will still keep the coin.
The Fargo Insurance company shows
what can be done when live newspaper
men take hold, as in the case of Judge Fry.
1t has been in operation less than a year
and now has 700 agencies in the territory,
| and every paper i'll Dakota is putting it.
The home office has twenty-seven clerks,
| and keeps dray to haul its mail. 1t is
noted that not one of the officers or direct
ors of the company weighs less than 200
pounds, and another year will bring most
of them up to 500.
It is reported that some of the friends of
| Gov. Pierce, who wish to relieve him of
| official annoyances, have called the atten-
ton of the president to the fact that the
governor before the election, when he sup
posed Mr.. Blaine was to be elected, made a
speech or two that were extensively parti-
san in the extreme. The president, it is
understood. has called for the reports of
these, and this fact leads to the conclusion
