Marquis de Mores, the great ranch and
stock man, returned to his home at Medora,
IN Western Dakota, recently, to celebrate the
arrival of a bouncing heir of the male persua-
sioE. There is good deal of enthusiasm
over the event.
George S. Engle has been a candidate for
judge in the Aberdeen district, and tele-
graphed from Washington to have the bar at
Aberdeen sign petition. In place of this
they got up remonstrance against the re-
moval of Judge Smith.
There is not much enthusiasm at Aber-
deem over the bill passed at Bismarck max
ing the new county of Adams a part of

Many of the farmers in the North where
corn is not certain to mature are growing
peas and claim that they are better than corn
to fatten hogs. They Shresh from twenty to
twenty-five oushel an acre. In another year
or so 1t is believed the north will grow at
least enough pork for consumption.
Letters have been received by parties at
Aberdeen from parties supposed to know the
inner counsels of the Rock Island railroad
and the Burlington, stating that neither of
them designs building beyond Watertown to
the north this season If the coal finds
in Day should meet expectation both would
be likely TO run up there seventy-fye or 100
miles north.
II is the practice Of newspaper writer's in
Dakota to make Senator Vest the butt of all
'jibes and absurdities The report sent to
the Pioneer Press from Dakota that the sena-
tor would introduce a bill to attach certain
Dakota counties to Minnesota was of. this
sort, and it was no doubt surprise to the
author that it was treated so seriously as to
be telegraphed to the senator.
good deal of interest will be taken in
the trial of the case of Mrs. Cordelia Fos-
naugh of Huron when court sits. The grand
jury of Beadle county lately found indict-
ment against her for theft of $1,000. The
charge is that, in shipping by the American
express, the package of money became at
tached to sewing machine sent the lady,
and that she utilized it for her own pocket
instead of returning it.
The Aberdeen News probably expresses
the feeling prevalent in most of the coun-
ties immediately south of the proposed line
OF separation, the forty-sixth parallel, in
this The action Of Gov Pierce in vetoing
the capital bill is appreciated by the people
Of Central Dakota. Bismarck at present is
as satisfactory to them as any other point
which could be fixed upon. The agitation OF
this question has injured Dakota and the
governor very wisely vetoes it, thus saving
Dakota the disgrace of another long-winoed
row.
1t has been noticed that the free lands in
Dakota are now chiefly in the Aberdeen,
DEVILS lake and Bismarck land district.
As matter OF information to immigrants
it may be stated that the records show about
5000 claims to be had in the central coun-
ties of Edmunds, WaIworth, Mcpherson
and Campbell, 1900 of them in the latter.
Nearly all of these lands are adapted to
stock raising and much of them to the usual
diversified farming. The bulk of them will
be taken up this year.
Hans Spilde of Grand Forks is looming up
as formidable candidate for the judgship in
the Red River district. He is a Norwegian
attorney formerly from Wisconsin, and has
the almost unanimous Endorsement of the
bar at Madison, Wis, including brother
of Postmaster General Villas, and most of the
attorneys at Grand Forks and Fargo, and
other points 1t is claimed that he was q
Democrat before he came to Dakota, and has
averaged that way since. His friends in
sist that Judge Mcconnell, who has been
supposed to be certain of the position, is a
resident of Indiana and not of Dakota. There
is good deal ofinterest taken in the matter.
The interest felt in finding good quality
of coal in Dakota is indicated by the reward
offered by the legislature. In all the regions
where there are signs, there are eager efforts
to investigate. A. good vein of coal in the
central region would be worth more than
several gold mines. It is reported that in
Brown county, Howard Brown has struck a
three-foot vein of good, soft coal at depth
of 100 feet. Young Brown came out from
Central Illinois fresh from college, some
three years ago, to make his fortune in Da-
kota land. He secured several fine claims
on the James, and if he now fiuds a coal
deposit as reported, he will be millionaire.
Since the statement published that Col
Donan was interesting himself in bringing
girls to Dakota to select husbands from the
multitude in need of the article, he has been
deluged with letters from all parts of the
country from young ladies who have the Da-
kota fever and matrimonial also. He saws be
has has not time TO answer them individually
and will probably give them general informa-
ton in connection with extracts from the
letters in some Dakota paper to be sent to all
of them. 1t is believed that the colonel
could make small fortune If he would open
bureau of this sort and ch arge each of the
parties a small fee. 1t would be a phian-
thropic and patriotic mission and the means
OF adding thousands to the population of the
territory. Muititudes yet un born would bless
his name and many of them wear it. But
the colonel has other present engagements.
He is soon to go to Honduras to write ut
that country in the interest of syndicate
that has secured an immense tract there OF
mining aud timber lands, etc. He is also
one of the American judges at the inter
national military tournament to be held at
New Orleans in May.
