The authorities have discovered a
way to deal successfully with the Nor
mon question and it looks now as though
polygamy had to 60. The method is
simply to arrest individuals under the
United States law and fine and imprison
them for unlawful cohabitation.

We know something about the letting
of that same contract ourselves, Mr..
Democrat, having opposed it in the con-
vention on the ground that the price
was exorhitant and that sufficient notice
had not been given After further in
yestigation, however, we were convinced
that the work would be done by the
Sioux Falls Press as cheaply as by any
other concern in the territory, the sum
appropriated being merely the maxi
mum rate that could be charged, and so
hastened to do the contractors the jus
tice they deserved. We hope the Dem
ocrat will see the propriety of adopting
a similar course.

FROM rather thorough investigation
of the movement of which the Siou1
Falls convention was the initiatory stel
we feel constrained to say that while
the people of Brown county may con
tinue to do all in their power to defea
division of the territory they cannot af
ford to allow the county to be unrepre
sented in the convention to be held a
Huron on the 21st. The same reasons
why they wanted the county represent
ed in the constitutional convention holl
good in this instance, j. o., they wan
sentineIs there to guard their interest,"
and to do what they can to defeat an,
little schemes that may and probabl,
viii be concocted to place them in
false light. Besides, there is just
chance that the movement may amoun
to something, and Brown county cal
i'll afford to throw that chance away
slight as it may appear. AT the yer,
worst the election of state Officers thi
fall will be but a political pantomime
as it were, as it is not proposed to cloth'
them with any power until congress re
cognizes the proposed constitution ant
passes an enabling act in conformit,
therewith--a contingency highly i'm
probable, to say the least. For thes'
reasons, and because no extra expens'
will be entailed to the county, we hop'
to see our people take such action a

Cor. Westport Watchman: Some
lunatic with his little match started a
prairie fire south of Koto Mcpherson
county, on Friday, which spread rapidly
to the northeast until about 4 p M,
when the wind suddenly changed to the
north and brought it back. The wind
blew gale and the fire assumed terrific
proportions, and at ons time forty miles
Of fire could be seen. In it's course to-
ward the south it appeared to travel
nearly mile minute, and took grain
and hay stacks, claim shanties and
whatever loose property seemed to be
in its way. We have seen prairie fires
before, but never saw one like that. 1t
continued toward the east until Satgr-
day night, against an east wind, when
it went out, afsar reaching the west line
Of range 66. We are unable to give the
losses, but they are numerous, and sew
eral of them quite heavy. Grain, hay
sticks and buildings without number
went up in smoke. 1t was a grand sight,
though appalling, and from Willow
township could be seen at one time
during Friday night two lines Of fire,
one apparently above the other, one
being on the bills and the other in the
valley east Of the hills, while Ia nilmer-
Gus places along both lines could be
