Grafton is raising . company, which il
expects to muster as Co. A, 3D. regiment,
and there is talk Of . complete additional
regiment being organized, : portion in
time for the encampment. The militia
law Of Dakota provides only for two reg
iments, or total of twenty Companies
eighteen infantry, one artillery and one
cayalry-snd the appropriation laade
through this bill covers only the expense
necessary for these two regiments. The
ordnance issued to Dakota BY the war
department is now in excess of Dskota's
allowance, aud no ordnance, it is an
nounced, can be secured for third reg
iment. The organization of the latter,
therefore can only be by volitlon Of the
members thereof, and they must equip
Themselves, unless more ordnance can be
secured; and then no clothing allowance
can be made by the territory. When any
company in either of the first or second
regiments is depleted IN numbers below
the minimum, the governor IS authorized
to disband said company and admit any
full company then organized in lien
thereof. The above is the law in the
case, yet if q third company is organized
and equipped by the members thereof, no
objection could be raised TO their pres
ence at the encampment, but there are no
funds to transport or subsist them on
hand.-Fargo Republican.
The Aberdeen Pioneer wants to know
which is to be the genuine meeting Of
Dakota democrats-that called 10 meet
at Aberdeen September 22d, or that ct
Huron September 8! Both calls appear
to be signed by the Brown county COM
mit,ee. A good many democrats are
wondering why, if there is to be terri
torlal convention of democrats, the call
is not issued by the territorial committee,
and are inclined to look upon the course
of the Brown county committee as irreg-
nlar. On the other hand it IS claimed
that the members of the territorial COM
mittee have shown disposition to run
WAC ASISAOi POIAou0kS w 0uLt tIClh0SlvCSs
without consulting anybody, and that it
was necessary to do something TO check
mate them. 1t looks very much like the
beginning OF family row.-Fargo Re
publican.
The Glendlve Independent looks thus
hopefully to the future: We are pleased
to see signs of returning prosperity and
additional life and vigor in our town.
Arrivals are numerous aud suggestive
just now as glance vt our local columns
will prove, and many of the arrivals are
those who have come to stay. We vel

and would bespeak for them from 0nr
citizens generous welcome, make them
feel at home and they will BY feeling
comfortable and happy, use their influ

the growth and development of our town,

extensively advertised for the past two
months, arrived Thursday afternoon and

three coaches, and were very intelligent
and progressive appearing class of people.
They will 60 To- Dickinson and return,

Judge very promptly repudiated the allie
