speeches. games, etc., in Fourth of July
STYLE. j. B. Edwards, the editor OF the

and most of the recent babies named after
him, delivered an eloquent address in two
languages.
There is some apprehension of mischief
from grasShoppers in Jeraald county, as the
hills there have been favorite breeding
ground for the pests in former times, and
myriads of them are now reported Matching.
1t is proposed to burn them out in the grass
as far as possible. 1t is said they do little
damage generally in their native section,
but fly south to warmer regions.
The Mayville Tribune says that Prof.
John Ogden, scientist and one of the new
settlers of Mcintosh county, sees the posi-
bility of utilizing the steady winds of the
prairies and predicts that in time they will
be used to drive machinery for all sorts of
purposes. The Tribune also adds that if
the professor will invent an apparatus to
make useful also the wind power of the
wrangling townsite politicians he will earn
the gratitude of all Dakota.
The death of Charles Livingston of Hand
county adds one more to the list of fatalities
resulting from careleSSneSS in the use OF
firearms. He had been shooting squirrels
with pistol, and going to trunk for am
munitiOn he knelt down and had the pistol
pointed the wrong way. 1t struck the
trunk and the ball passed through his head.
He was son of a prosperous farmer, and
a very promising and popular young man,
about % years of age.
The Inauguration of the new brewery and
the emancipation from a greviOus oppres-
sion at the capital causes the Tribune to
note the popular jubilatiOn in this way:
The 18th of May will hereafter be observed
by the citizens of Bismarck as legal holi-
day. 1t marks new era in the history Of
the city. The old tyranny of Is cent beer
is thing of the past. The thirsty can now
get their lager at cents glass. This
shows that civilization is marching on with
lively tread.
1t is little surprising how often people
turn up unexpectedly in Dakota. The past
week two young men who few years ago
were clerks together in a London bank met
unexpectedly in Fargo, both Dakotans and
neither knowing that the other was this
side of the water A few days ago Pat
Callahan, who had been lost sight of by his
friends for years. returned from Alaska
and stopped off at Dickinson and was aston
iShed to meet there two brothers, farmers,
whom he had left in Iowa, all now happy
DakOtans.
The Aberdeen News takes strong ground
| in favor of division upon the Missouri river
| as far north as the 101 meridian and then
on line due north. 1t regards the 10th
parallel as obsolete as dividing line-that
| it would create two strongly Republican
states which the Democrats will not con-
sent to admit, while by taking the Missouri
| river there would be Republican state
east and eventually Democratic state west
| of the river The interests of the people
east of the river are Identical, it says, and
the central region has settled up and rail-
roads are being built connecting the two
sections. There are many who believe this
is the only feasible line of division
Ex-cOngressman and soldier, Mai. G. w.
Buttz of Lisbon set a good example to
| others in this: He has just set out trees
for twO-acre park; has a large apple Or
chard and several acres in small fruits and
strawberries, half an acre of walnut trees
| and 30, 600 forest trees on his claim. In
addition to his bonanza farm he has lately
won $50, 900 suit, and is examining plans
| for an elegant mansion. He would be glad
| to marry, but is baShful to fault, and
some of the young ladies East looking for
Dakota husbands would do well to write to
him.
The Black Hills case between the Sitting
Bull and Silver Terra Mining companies,
Oh trial at Yankton, involves nearly SO, 600,
900, and took fifty-siX days in the lower
court It will be taken to the United
States supreme court, however the supreme
court at Yankton may decide it, 1t is a
rich mine for host of attorneys. Col.
Thomas of Fargo, former resident of the
Hills, has been there the past week in con-
nection with the Terra company.
The ambitious young town of White in
Brookings county has put in formal print
the liberal offer of $780, in cash and a
block of lots for the location of the county
seat. A vote was had Tuesday to bond the
county for $40, 900 to build court house
at the present comfy seat, Brookings. 1t
will be good thing for counties to settle
this question permanently wherever prac-
ticable
The Brookings Press thinks the farmers
of that county are unit in opposition to
the Sioux Falls convention. 1t refers to
the matter in this way, indicating opposi-
ton to division: They feel that it is merely
scheme whereby few willy politicians
can appear before the people in charade,
while the tOiling masses are required by law
to furnish the costumes. They feel that
when the curtain is raised and congress
views the stage of would-be-divided state
hood, the nations lawmakers will merely
laugh at the ludicrous sight, and go home,
to let the South Dakota Comedy company
pack up their baggage and go to the next
town at which they are billed.
The Dakota Republican, in Clay, one of
the most southern counties, extends this
sort of comfort to the South state effort:
The late legislature, among its other i'm
mortal achievements, passed a bill apprO-
priating $40, 900 of the peoples money to
pay for holding constitutional convention
in September at Sioux Falls. Now then,
to start with, the legislature had no right
to take the peoples money for any such
purpose. They might as well have appro-
priated $40, 900 to the lepers of the Sand
witch Islands. 1t is proposed to make a
state in defiance of all law, custom and
congress of the United States. 1t would
seem that this sort of folly should end.
When congress passes an enabling act au-
thorizing us to organize state it will be
time for us to act. We are not exactly
ready to fight the general government yet.
