i The way Of the solons is hard. Dakota
Legislators will keep to the front No use
trying to keep them down. Susan B. Pick
Ter has been hob-nob obbing with the peculiar
females of his district since the adjourn-
ment Of the legislature and when last heard
from was in a desperate struggle for election
as delegate to the forthcoming blizzardy
constitutional convention; DeWoody, the
carmine pated wag of the house is COM
mercial hummer, selling habber-d -dasher
goods for some house in St Paul; it is un-
derstOOd that Martin of the Black Hills,
was compelled to enter the prize ring to
defend his position on several measures
against the onslaught of brawny miners:
Frank Pettigrew has not dared to open his
mouth since the adjournment, and has been
pursued by a district of bloodthirsty consti-
tuents until he has almost become wand
erer and outcast; Poor VanOsdel has been
trying to explain to the sluggish minded
Yanktonaise how the bill removing the
United States court from Yankton passed
the house while he was in his seat; West
over and Wells have grown pale and hag-
gard in trying to convince their constituents
that they were not to blame for Pierre's
failure to secure the capital; Blakemore,
the frowning orator from the classic haunts
of Hyde, has sunk into a fathomless oblivion;
Miller, the little giant Of the sixth was
burned in efigy during the session and has
not been heard of since his departure for
home, and now Mark w ard, who was con-
sidered above all worldly weaknesses, joins
the legislative choir with a first class elope-
ment ballad, which he is singing at three
notes above concert pitch, while he and his
blushing charmer watt themselves toward
: the green mountains of Vermont. -,
a. THE ELoPEMENT. .
The story of Mr.. Wards elopement is
romantic and interesting. The young lady's
name was Nettie Barnard she went to
Mitchell, Oak, from Manchester, Iowa, in
1882. She was an accomplished young lady
and was known by the rural journalists as
the "silver throated songstress." She was
engaged to young lawyer and real estate
man, and the wedding was to be celebrat-
ed today. She met Mr.. Ward, and renewed
an old affection and eloped with the "gent-
leman from Brule" last week. Truly the
solons of Dakota are making brilliant rec
cords. Many of their photographs would
look well in the Police Gazette.
-,. From the Saskatchewan.
Mr.. James Holland has received another
letter from James Foster, who has been in
the Saskatchewan country during the re-
bellion. Mr.. Foster writes very interest
ing letter, but most Of the news has been
received by telegram. He is teamster
and has this to say Of life in
the rebellious land of the blood thirsty
breed: "The half breeds captured thirty
teamsters and teams loaded with supplies
for Gen. Otter, and we had orders to stop
at the station till further orders. There are
ten men in our outfit armed with five sin
gle barreled shot guns, without powder,
but we don't complain. Some nights there
is not much sleep, assure you. I have
not learned what the enemy did with the
teamsters they captured, but the supposi-
tion is that they will be or have been killed.
i There is nothing to prevent the enemy TAX
ing us in at any time, but I would just as
soon freight for Reil as for Otter, and I
think that he would protect us better than
the head of this outfit does. Don't you
come up here. This is no place for farm
ers, and the land is so d--n poor that the
government ought to give it to the Indians,
and give $4,000 to every Indian and breed
who would take 100 acres of it off their
hands. I have not seen an Indian or a
breed since left Swift Current, and l
don't want to see any, l. assure you. have
not seen any of the Bismarck fellows, but I
understand that James Hurley, (partner of
Alderman McGarvey, of this city, is super
intendent of the Prince Albert column.
They are liable to move our division over
there any time and hope they will. If
this war or rebellion goes on there will be
a chance to make some money; but man
needs money and red tape, and 1 haven't
struck anything yet. 1 am open to most
anything, (James is not hard to please).
l have not struck any thing yet. would
like to hear from you, and think letter
addressed to me in care of Charles Gleason
would reach me-" In a late letter Foster
says he will return to Bismarck via Benton
about the last of June or first of July.

Ter last Saturday were brought before JUS
