HustlinE for Hard.

The Intsr-Ocsan has reliable Information to
the effect that the Minneapolis millsrs are be-
csming alarmed the scarcity Of No. hard
wheat, and have special agents along the line
OF the Manitoba north and west Of Grand
Forks, who are offering one cent above the
market price fer all the wheat they can get of
tue first grade. The inference is that No. l
hard is scarce article this year, and the mill
ers association is short Of the requisite guam
tity to keep their ten thousand rollers going
until the next crop comes in. In fact, it is
generally known that tho crop of No. hard is
shorter than usual, and the association, to keep
up the grade Of its fsur, finds it necessary to
rustic. This is pretty good evidence that tho
farmers are masters Of the situation this year.
II 1t is true that the crop of No. hard is SO
short as to threaten the industry Of -four manu-
facture at Minneapolis, tho price Of this grade
Of wheat will bs more than rs cents-lnore
than s. cents, If not more than Sim Deyips
Lake before the first Of February. The millers
of Minneapolis must have 1t, and only very
small part Of the whsat-belt is able to furnisls
1t this year.-DSuips Lake Inter- Ocean.

The Sioux Falls Convention.


The Sioux Falls convention has met, per-
formed the work which called 1t together, and
its members dispersed and gone home. Per-
haps no constitutional convention that has ever
come together performed its work 50 expedi-
tiously and at such slight cost to the people
the fetal expense Of tho convention being only
So, 4Os.O5-as the one which recently met at
Sioux Falls to frame constitution for the
southern part of Dakota. 1t is agreed on every
hand that the work of the convention il good,
and that the instrument framed will compare
favorably with the organic law Of any Of the
States Of the Union. But the convention made
serious mistake, and ono that will not fail to
provoke opposition on the part of the people Of
the northern part Of the territory when the
question Of admission is brought before con-
grsss, in insisting on adopting the name Da-
kota without prefxing South to it. The people
OF North Dakota have jealous regard for the
name Dakota, and will not willingly allow it
to 10 monopolized by the south half of the
territory. This action Of the convention may
endanger the whole scheme, and be the means
OF defeating the very object aimed at in calling
the convention. We believe majority of the
people Of the north favor division and the ad-
mission OF the south half to Statehood, but
they are not willing to surrender a name that
their peculiar product has served to make
known to the people Of every land. We are
ready and willing to share it. but not to surren-
der it.

make such "divvy." A story is told by Col.
Ingerssll that illustrates the case. He said:
"A very distinguishsd divine was out walking
with his son on the borders Of lake one day,
and to shsw tho goodness Of divinity, the min
lister called the attention Of his progeny to
sterk walking on the edge Of the water, stick
Ing his bill down and bringing forth fish.
Said tho divine, There! my son, see how the
thoughtfulnsss of our good God is ever present
even in the smallest of things. See! He has
provided the stork with long limbs SO he can
wade out into the water, and long bill that
he may stick it down and catch a fish, and thus
obtain his food. Do you not observe in this the
goodness Of God to even the smallest of his
creatures% The boy replied: Father see
the goodness Of God toward the stork, but
where does the goodness come in toward the
flshP" And SO it seems to be in this matter.
The goodness to Pillsbury l. Co.'s employees is
very apparent, but where is the goodness to

" llOOdlebug,''

We have lang been curious to know the def
milton Of ''hoodlebug," ''hoodle," etc., pet
names which our morlnonstic friend takes Pc
culiar delight in applying to US, and as Webster
is silent on the subject we were at a loss to
know how he had become so familiar with
them, until legal friend of some literary
ability suggested that if we could procure a
copy Of work known at the "Rogus's vo-
cabulary," we would be able to find it. It
then suddenly dawned upon us that the es-
teemed young man who is wasting his talents
on the Penny Buge had eHca upon a. time
been held in duranoe vile for kidnapping, and
had doubtless then picked up the term from
associates.

There has been quite lively times in the
wheat market both at Clifford and Page The
Wahpeton Mill and Elevator company have
buyers at both these points, and, we under
stand, there has been some sharp competition
between it and the elevators. As high as 7S
cents, it is reported, was paid for No. hard at
Clifford last Sunday, when the price here was
IS cents. At Page, gentleman informs US
that he get rs cents for his wheat without
dockage, which was 5 cents more than elevator
quotations. The effect Of this is to divert con-
siderable wheat to these points that should
come to Hope.
