tempering copper tools is said to be a lost
art, dating back of the Indians.
The ladies at Ipswich are trying to have

NJ. Dunlap, the immigration agent, prom
iseS to visit Devils Lake to complete

that he gives almost exclusive attention to
the South, he thinks, does not do him JUS

The nearly complete census of Sergeant
county shows population of about seven
thousand. This county has been organized

Dunseith has secured an injunction to re-
strain the location of the county seat at st.

Quite number of horse thieves have
been captured in the Upper James valley

There is some controversy over the ques-
ton whether Gen. Hugh Campbell, the late
Init fofn Ctysnf OF

pended is the word used by the depart
ment in regard to the matter. He has

The effect of the Dakota climate upon
animals is noted in the Sheldon Enterprise:
The driving in Dakota is unsurpassed. A
team may make trip of sixty or seventy
miles, and after resting few hours, is
ready and able to go the same distance over
again, while in the East a forty-mile drive
would be too much for team, more than
once a week at least.
Delegate Gifford's home organ on the
Republican side ridicules the state conven-
ton scheme and says it expects the dele
gate to secure an enabling act to provide
for the legal constitutional convention in

Ransom county has forty-three schooI
houses, including four not completed, all
built in four years. There is a tendency to
build too many of these structures in some

The law makes it very easy to build them
by issuing bonds, but there are districts that
are oppressively burdened and will be kept
back by reason Of the debt.
The scattering hail, violent storms, and
perhaps the energy with which it is being
pushed, have given wonderful impulse to
the business of the Fargo Insurance COM

and having filled the rooms with desks they

Alexandria. in Hanson comfy. is to have
grand blow out the Fourth of Julyand lay
the corner stone of court house that is to
be one of the most elegant structures in Da-
kota. The leading attraction promised is
an Grafton from the governor of Dakota,
not Pierce but Ziebach. 1t is regarded as
settled fact all over the South that his ap-
pointment is to be made by July1. Should

faith in Washington prophets among the
friends of the squatter governor hereafter.
Col. Alb. Boyinton of Lennox, who was
reported appointed receiver in the land Of
fee at Aberdeen, in a recent interview ex-
pressed the opinion that it might soon be
the fact. He has spent good deal of time
at Washington, and contrary to the usual

eral sweep in the land Offices, as the depart
ment has a notice that continual frauds are
being perpetrated. He stakes his Judgment
that Gov. Pierce will not be removed, and
has been SO advised if he will favor the adj
ministration. He was impressed that Sec
rotary Manning was the power behind the
throne.
