A few days ago Marquis de Mores, of
Medora, Oak, put IN an appearance at
New York City. His immense beef ship
ping enterprise at that place, together
with the ''sand" he displayed when the
attempt was made two years ago TO drive
HIM out of the country, has made HIM
quite celebrity not only in the north.

The Marquis de Mores arrived at the
Hoffman House last night. He said he
was already aware that a man named
Wannagen, who was one Of the men with
whom he and two friends had exchanged
shots when he went into the Bad Lands,
had procured an Indictment against him
at Mandan. When the District Court
got ready to try the case he would be on
hand to stand trial. He had already been
before local magistrates three times and
the complaint against him had been dis
missed. Had he paid $1,000 or s., 900 he
would not have been annoyed. He told

defence.
| He says he has been IN Chicago and
New York since July II, arranging to
ship his dressed beet to the East. He is
better prepared now to fight his enemies
than heretofore, as his plans have all

arrived il town yesterday. He will start

A Pushing BOy.

In 1851 Major j. Z. Wisner = native of
Cuoa, New York, removed with his fam
ily 10 Ransom county, Dakota. There
was no railroad communication at that
time, and he purchased immense tracts OF
the finest wheat lands very cheap. The
railroad has since passed through the
lands, and one of the greatest wheat
growing districts in the west has been de-
veloped. Major Wlsner's oldest son,
Clarence, was fourteen years old when
the family went TO Dakota, and the father
invested 81, 500 in land, which he decided
to his boy. When Clarence was fifteen
he wanted to deyelop the land, and his
father loaned HIM $500 to work with. lie
spent that money on the tract, and in the
fall of 1882 he sold the farm for $4,000.
This money he invested in other land

Gov. Pierce In Washington.

Gov. Pierce, of Dsk0ta, has succeeded
in completing the business which took
him to Washington, in manner that
lights up his heart with JOY. lie thinks
that Secretary Lamar and the other Off
cials Of the interior department showed
40 much respect for Dakota that there is
encouragement 10 expect that they Will
recommend congress to take off her child
ish kits and put on the psntalocns Of
state. The governor got off the train
there on Thursday, took the bag full of
800 pounds of statistics under his arm,
paid $47 express charges and lugged it up
the hill to the interior department, where
he laid 1t at the feet OF Secretary Lamar
and said,
"There are the census returns from Da-
kota. We've got 41G,0to population as
against $4,000 IN 1880, and $1,000
farms.''
"Good for you," said the secretary.
"S!t down and tell me about H."
And the colonel filled I4amar's head so
full of Dakota that he now asks for a
plate of No. ] hard at the breakfast table.
When the governor had told his story,
the secretary of the interior got ham,
mer and broke open the box, murmuring
to himself:
"ls 1t possible! Is it possible? 4ls,OO0
population as against 1876, 900 in 1880,
with forty bushels of No. hard to the
acre on $1,000 farms?"
Then he sat down to his desk and wrote
out requisitlcn for 900, which rep
resents the governments share of the ex-
pense of taking the census of Dakota.
Col. Pierce seized it and rushed up to the
treasury.
The way was cleared for the agile gov
ernor, and before the official day was
over he had transacted all the legal for
malities and had only to wait until the
check was written. Never was similar
case acted upon with such promptness.

CONSPIRACY.

The Police Court was occupied
from ten o'clock yesterday morning
until half-past four in the afternoon,
and another hour this morning, on
hearing the case of conspiracy
brought against police officers Kau-
hane and Wong Tai Poon, and Aloi
and Lupou. This case arose out of
the late liquor and bribery cases,
where q Chinaman was charged with
selling liquor without license, and
two others for bribing the police,
all three being discharged. Messrs.
Hartwell and Whiting appeared for
the prosecution and Mr.. f. M.
Hatch for the four defendants. The
evidence was very lengthy, and
after it was all in, His Honor JUS
tice Bickerton said he presumed
that Wong Tai Poon had been sus-
pended from duty, he knew Kau-
hane had, 1t was perfectly right
they both should have been, until
the final hearing of the case. His
Honor said that Wong Tai Poon had
committed deliberate perjury, in
that his evidence in this case entire
ly contradicted what he had said in
the former case. Such man should
not hold commission as police
officer, it would be dangerous to
the whole community. Not only
had he committed perjury, but he
had tempered with the witness.
This action not only warranted the
Marshal, but in His Honor's opinion,
demanded that he should dis
miss the offender from the service,
The four defendants were then com.
mitted for trial to the July term Of
the Supreme Court.

Queen Victoria's birthday was a
brilliant success. The grounds of
the Hotel were illuminated and the
stone stairways leading to the front
entrance were one mass of palm
leaves, arranged in the form of
arches, giving pretty effect. The
large dining hall was used for dam
cling, and was most beautifully
decorated with Hawaiian, English
and American flags, choice flowers
and evergreens. At one end of the
hall was q floral motto, "God save
the Queen" most artistically
wrought. The background OF the
letters was of silver ferns, while the
letters themselves were of plume
rias, double scarlet geraniums, and
other colored flowers. The motto
was much admired and reflected

JAPANESE PARENTS.

Japanese parents are noted for
their kindness to their offspring.
Swearing is wholly unknown in
Japan. The worst word japanese
ever applies to man whom he dis
likes is F" beast" There is, in fact,
less disturbance among them than
among other people known to Ameri-
cans. Their homes, no matter how
poor, are neat, and in cleanliness
they set a notable example to the
whole world. Law and order are as
much desired and enforced there as
elsewhere. 4"
