his hOnOrS. He remembers that other cleo
tons are coming.
One of the most elaborate and elite we'd
dings of the season in Fargo was that Sat
urday night of Miss Addie Is. Pinney.
daughter Of one of the f. +. F.'s, and foI
several years a teacher in the public school.
The groom was ii. II. Coston of Scranton,
Pa, and there was large company of Wis
itOrS from abroad. Rev. Theodore Hudson
OF Wisconsin performed the ceremony.
Maj. Edwards reports from Bismarck.
where he is experimenting the census re-
turns, that the friends of Col. LOunSberry
! and Judge Flannery are inaugurating a
somewhat intense contest between them rs
candidates for the United States senate
from the North. This indicates an expec-
tation in that quarter that congress will adj
init the territory as one state the coming
winter.
The encampment of the militia CON-
mences at Fargo Sept. 20. to continue four
or i've days. Adjt. Gen. Free is expected
there IN few days To aid i'm making the
necessary arrangements and select the
grounds. which will probably be in the
northern suburb of the city. possibly the
fair grounds, if not too far out. There is a
good deal OF qualification in the North over
the location of the gathering.
The tact that work has just commenced
on the James River railroad between La
AOure and Columbia is taken TO indicate
that the Northern Pacific may have some
interest in it. This is the first line to make
continuous connection between the central
regions of the North and South. and it will
aid materially in dissipating the reasons for
the division of the territory. There is no
unsettled district between the two sections
as there was few years ago.

MeSSrs- Convey X Brown each had individual
losses of household effects and wearing ap-
parel which were not covered by insur-

The Fargo Argus estimates that the dam
age 70 wheat from all causes in Dakota and
Northern Minnesota will reach from four to
I'VE million bushels. the large majority of
the loss in Minnesota. ThreShing has not
commenced in the North and accuracy can
not be had, but it is believed the average
per acre in Dakota will be fully equal To
that of last year. The weather has been
favorable for harvest and the bulk of the
grain will be cut this week a good deal

higher valuations. For instance. last year
