An eastern paper has the following
from a man who recently visited Dakota:
Don't lie down aud die like an animal
when you can come west and be a man
among men, a monarch over 100 acres of
land, a princely merchant or a meek and
demurs editor in this glorious section
Don't be a coward and shiver like a coy
ote in mid winter at the thought of cast.
ing our lot in this paradise, where the
stock of peace and plenty has never been
fathomed. Come 20 The lard thai rivals
fair Italy, where the beautiful mirage dots
the lands with sparkling lakes, and the
perfume Of flowers peryade the lambent
air. Come. and the smile of content.
ment will rest upon your ~countenance.
Come 10 this sunny land under whose
azure sky the broadcast, the largest, the
smallest, the noblest, purest attributes Of
human character can expand away be-
yond the silver tipped horizon and bring
heaven to earth in n grand holiday which
lasts all the year round. Come and the
gentle zephyr will transplant every spear
Of your capillary stock INTO an Eolian
harp, and make you dance with Joy and
gladness" The above is somewhat ex-
hubriant, though manifestly an earnest
statement of possibilities.

Last Saturday evening the race be-
tween Messrs. 0chsenreiter, Barker and
P.dcoCk, for the championship, occurred
at the rink. The boys got right square
TO the trout and kept the audience in a
oar of laughter for an hour. When it
came to the bottle trick-a kind of wind
ing whirl among a lot Of bottles on the
tloor-"Pid" discovered that one of the
bottles was full. This was too much for
him; and utterly regardless of the prize
at the end of the race he sat right down
10 investigate the subject. Picking up
the bottle he sat down on the floor aud
lOosened the cork, when tiz! siZzle!! pop!!l
swlsh!M! bang!!M! and the pop flew all
over his face and down his neck to the
intense delight of all the small boys IN
the audience. In the race "PId" slid in
on his ear, his head glistening in the
lamplight, while the race was declared a
tic between MessFs Ochsenreiter and
Barker, The boys made piles Of fun for
the audience. every one of them being
loud in praise Of the enjoyable entertain
ment. The band boys have made a good
start and we hope they may be able to
keep it up.

We have frequently heard farmers
say that this hill ~country is peculiarly
adapted to the raising of flax, and, in
deed, the crops raised here in the last
year, fully j~ustiies the assertion. This
being true, it appears to us that the es-
Enlistment Of an oil mill here, would be
a paying Investment from the start. It
would always have plenty Of material to
work on, and its products could fad a
ready sale. The refuse could be sold to
stock raisers right at the mill, while the
tow could be manufactured into rope and
Irvine and constitute a lucrative part of
the business. An enterprise of this kind
can not fail Of success. Any one, far or
near. who are looking for a chance to
make money in this line, win do well to
come and look us oyer and examine the
character and quality of the material
with which he would have to work, and
learn something OF the capahility of the
hill country for fax production.

"A laughable moot trial occurred at
the Balzer house yesterday evening. 1t
appears that one Of the boys had made
a contract with Mr.. Switzer that, in con-
sideration of thirty dollars and a yoke of
oxen, n Of the Balzer house girls was
to marry him at 8 O'Clock Sunday norm
ing. The boarders at the house got hold
Of the facts ard determined to try the
case. Accordingly, yesterday evening a
court was opened in form, a jury Of six
men, tried and true, were empaneled.-
John Norton appeared in behalf of Mr.
Switzer, and Mr. 0chsenreiter, with
characteristic gallantry, on behalf of the
girl. In the testimony the contract was
proven, but that Mr.. S. failed TO put in
an appearance at the time specified on
Sunday morning. and that Mr.. s. there
fore forfeited the ten dollass that was
paid the girl, to gain her consent, at the
time the contract wal made. The attor-
neys each made eloquent and mirth pro-
vocing addresses TO the jury, whereupon
the court charged the jury who retired,
and after mature deliberation brought in
the following virdict: 1--WE, the jury in
this case, decide that $ Of the money
now in the hands of the girl be returned
to Mr.. Switzer, and the other s. be ex-
pended in cigars for the crowd" which
was declared to be a righteous virdict aud
the Court adjourned without date, to as
sist in carrying out the provisions Of the
verdict. During the trial the utmost de-
corum prevailed, but The current Of fun
running through the entire proceedings
was such that, at times, 1t was with the
utmost difficulty the court could preserve
order.

There are not ten men in the country
to-day, possessing a million of money each
who ever earned it. That sum could
never be honestly earned. for life is too
brief for it's accumulation. These enor-
nous fortunes have either been gained
by downright rascality or by some sort OF
monopoly, which is a modified form of
robbery. Shall the laws be continually
tortured TO the protection of this ~ill-gotten
wealth, by putting heavier burdens on
the poorer classes?

BY reference to the proceedings Of
the county board, our readers will see
that ii is proposed to build a vault for
the county records. This should have
been done some time ago, and We believe
the Board in making this order, have
done something that will meet with the
approval of every voter in the county
The fact that more than half the records
were exposed to destruction by fire, is a
fact that should prompt a speedy con-
struction of the vault.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Our Usuas weekly Budget From the Ma
ttonsi Cspifa1-Governor Kfnkead,
Mrs. Carlisle, Etc.

WASHINGTON, Jan. e.-Among the recent
II. KiDkesd, the FIRST Governor Of our far-off
u little known possessions. Alssks. 1t is
q curious fact that after paying s., 900, 600 for
Alaska, after having found il, even as an un-
organized Territory, bringing an annual in
come of q quarter OF o million dollars into
the Treasury, aud after knowing that the
people OF that section were actually suffer-
ing for some organized form of government,
the authorities should have been nearly
twenty years in taking steps 10 organize the
simplest form Of civil government there.
And il is equally curious that after the law
was enacted organizing this Government and
providing means for carrying it into opera
ton the Governor of that country should
find it necessary to come here to urge that
the work be done.
"You see," said Governor Kinkesd, as ne
sat in his comfortable room at Welcker's
and stroked his gray beard thoughtfully,
''you see il was a six months task to get q
letter here q get action OF any sort. It
seems strange, don't it? But 1t is q fact.
You see We only have mails once a month
from there. Then It takes a month for a let
ter to make the trip after it gets started.
Then DO little is known here abous the stu
alton there that it would be almost impossi-
BILE to cover the ground in one letter so that
it would not be found necessary to ask some
further questions. and the result might be
that the session OF Congress would be past
before action could be had. So l thought it

nifty 10 learn the cause of the delay, but it is
