LONDON, July 6.-In the house of

TRADE IN Girls

LONDON, July 6.-The Pail Mail Ga
zette this afternoon devotes five pages
of its space to showing that the trade
in young girls for immoral purposes
has increased rapidly during late
years. 1t claims that the growth in
this traffic is due 10 the utter worth
lessness of the law in relation to the
matter. The names of several wealthy
men holding prominent positions in
society are mentioned in connection
with the business. The Gazette states
that it still has details of large num-
ber of other cases which were omitted
to-day owing to lack of space, but
that they will be given to the public
in the course of few days.

ISTAN.

LONDON, July 7.-The Standard
prints this morning advices from re-
liable source in India in regard to the
recent events in connection with the
Afghan frontier trouble. The Stand
ards correspondent asserts that the
ameer of Afghanistan attaches little
value to the Friendship of either Eng
land or Russia. The ameer considers
Lord Dufferin stingy. He had ex-
pected from the English representa-
tive much larger subsidies of money
and arms than those which have been
given hin.
A correspondent says the ameer, in
giving arms and food to his subjects,
first exacts the condition that they
will fight, if called upon, either En-
glish or Russians.
A pilgrim from Afghan-Turkestan,
reports that a feeling of extreme dis
satisfaction against the ameer's rule
exists among officials there. He de-
clares that these officials are ready
and willing TO join Russia o. isha <
Khan. 1t is also reported that the
governor of Afghan>Turkestan has
opened direct negotiations with Rus
sia. and it is asserted, IL this course
he has the permission of tie ameer,
but this is doubted Large bodies of
Russian troops are moving towards
Mory and Maimena.

TRAFFIC In GIRLS.

LONDON, July THE Pail Mall
Gazette to-day prints an addition to
its articles begun yesterday on the
growth of trade in young girls for
immoral purposes. The greatest sem
sation has been caused by these publ
cations. The ST James Gazette stig-
riatizes them as the vilest obscenity
ever issued from a public press or seen
in public print. The Bookstall. con-
trolled by a firm of which VIM. Henry
Smith, secretary for war, is the head,
refuses to sell these editions of the
Pail Mall Gazette. The matter viii

How Not to do It.

A writer in the American Agri-
culturist tells of = journey in a train
that he was making in Dakota. He
says: A young lawyer who sat by my
side wanted to talk politics. told
him thought the country would not
go to the dogs, no matter how tho
election went-a remark which
seemed to disgust him profoundly;
but when he found out how | intend
ed to vote, he seemed happier. We
happened to belong to the same party.
He liked Dakota, and was doing well.

farmers at two and three per cent a
month. He represented an Eastern
loan association. They loaned money
at ten per cent on real estate security
had just made loan to young man
who wished to get married; he had
claim of one hundred and sixty
acres; had resided on it three years
in two years more he would have got
his title from the government; but
he wanted money and came to him.
"You must prove up" he said, "and
! will loan you three hundred dollars
on your claim, to run five years at ten
per cent" What will tho charges
be!' "My charges will be thirty-four
dollars. l will pay the government
two hundred dollars on the land and
give you the balance" "And did the
poor follow do it!'' l asked, my blood
boiling with Indignation at the cut.

''In other words" said ''if he had
remained on his farm two years more,
he would have got it for nothing.
Now, for the sake of getting sixty-six
dollars, he will, during the next Eve
years, have to pay tour hundred and
fifty dollars or lose his farm" "Oh,"
said he, IL cannot commend it ~ =

thousands of dollars are being loaned

is settled by new immigrants more
mechanics can find work.
The outlook for large immigra-
tion this spring is very favorable and
this county, the garden of tho West,
with the best prospect for homo
and western market among the min
ers and stockmen, will probably get
it's full share. Our farmers are now
shipping their produce west. Pota-
toes lately shipped west sold at IS
cents per bushel delivered on the cars
at which price no farmer ought to
grumble, where such enormous crops
can be raised with 80 little work.
Sixth, poor men, who can get here
with 4l8 to file homestead and 800
to build shack and get sixty days pro-,
vision, may do we'll if they can
change work with neighbors to get
some breaking done. A few acres
we'll broke and put into corn, potatoes,
beans, cabbages, onions, wheat, oats,
buckwheat, turnips, etc, with a COW,
few chickens and some pigs, would
give the family a good living and
raise seed for the next year and by
the third year they could have their
own team and tools and be quite in
dependent. Twenty acres deeply
broke and narrowed up mellow after
the plow, would produce a crop that
would keep good sized family. as
garden vegetables, 8.rowed corn and
all other crops yield well on sod. If
left to dry after the plow before
narrowing, it il hard to mako it
mellow.
The cost of living here is little
more than it is East. Prairie chick
ems, ducks, Jack rabbits, curlews and
wild geese cost the ammunition to
shoot them and the time and skill to
hunt them. A family can live cheap
if they raise their own corn, wheat
and buckwheat, by taking their grain
to one of our portable mills and give
one bushel to grind five, then do their
own sitting by hand, and use game
for the principal meat. 1t is plain
fare but healthy. For my part, 1
much prefer tho game to every other
meat, with little pork to cook the
venizon and other steaks, but the
game is equally good baked.

GLADSTONE GLEANINGS.

GLADSTONE. d. T., March II, 1885.
st. Patrick's day; an eventful day
in large cities but quiet enough here
in the country.
Two years ago to-day Ned Bates
plowed, and last spring the season
was moro advanced than the present
at this date.
j. F. Perry started for Minneapolis
yesterday.
The river has partly broken up and
good deal of water has gone off
peaceably, and as good portion Of
the snow has already thawod and run
off now hope the river will not be
as high as in former seasons.
Many of our farmers will SOW
wheat as soon as the present cold
weather abates and the ground thaws
little. This is one of the peculiar
features of Dakota soil, although very
retentive Of moisture in the driest
part Of the season the land can be
worked to advantage much sooner
after the frost leaves in the spring
than most other places, and still will
not bake nor get lulnpy.
We hope for . good supply Of
farmers this spring to help farm the
choice lands which are awaiting the
plow.

The following figures taken from
the books of the county treasurer
show tho amount of taxes paid by
each town upon real estate: Dickin-
son, $0l9.52; Gladstone, $240S9; Tay-
lor, S173.4l; Richardton, $328.85. by
these figures it will be seen that
Dickinson pays Sl7s.37 more taxes on
real estate than all tho other towns
combined. The taxes on personal
property are about in the same ratio
and show conclusively that Dickinson
is the main source Of revenue for the
county.

Another Strike

A dispatch from Pittsburg under date of

which was inaugurated to-day, promises to
be the greatest war for wages ever fought

miners in the Pittsburg district, it is esti-
mated that seven-eighths are out to-day
for 3-cent rate. River and railroad
miners have Joined hands, and it is conf
IDENTIFY asserted by the leaders of the move
ment that the demand will be almost unan-
imous by tomorrow. Several works are
running to-day, but the diggers have prom
ised to come out just as soon as they can
put their rooms in proper shape and collect
their tools. President Costello, with a
number of agitators, is holding meetings
along the river to-day, urging all to make a
united stand, and a similar committee is
working along the railroads. Operators
say they are determined not to accede, be-
cause there is no demand for coal in the
lower markets. A bitter contest is pre-
dicted
