Wisconsin.s Brainy Senator.

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON. Dec 21.-One of the new
senators who attracts good deal of atten-
ton on account of his youthful appearance
is SpnOner Of Wisconsin. The fact that he
should have reached the United States SEN
ate without previously acquiring any prom
inence in politics has made him an object
of some attention. Philetus Sawyer is
generally credited with having secured his
election. His friends say, however.
that he IS very able young
man and that he will make his mark
in the senate. They insist with great en-
phasis that he is as brainy man as has
reached the United States senate from
Wisconsin since Matt Carpenters time.
He is the youthful Cicero of Wisconsin,
and from his fourth cf July orations he has
won the title of ''the young giant of the
Northwest" The senate is a poor place for
that kind of oratory however, and Mr..
Spooner will probably lose some Of his rep
utation before the end of his term.

Dakota as a Fruit Country.

The statement put forth some time since
that Andrew HaleS, a farmer residing in
the suburbs of Fargo, and a resident of the
vicinity for sixteen years, had grown seventy
bushels of good apples and much other
fruit the past year, has been received with
much lncredulity even in the vicinity. Mr..
Hales publishes in the Sunday Argus con-
tirmation of the statement, and gives details
of the varieties and methods of cultivation.
He says he has 100 bearing trees of different
sorts. some of them Russian origin, that
have borne fruit for seven or eight years.
He claims to have fully tested the adapta-
ton of the Red river valley to fruit and is
satisfied that with proper care it can grow
excellent varieties of apples, plums, grapes
and nearly all small fruits. The chief
danger, he thinks, is the dryness of the al
mOsphere in winter. Some extra attention
is also requisite on account of the low tenn
perature at times. Mr. Hales says that in
1872 he sold seventy bushels of apples at
S2.50 a bushel he raised on half acre. He
adviceS the use of Russian varieties of apple
or those grown in high ATTITUDES. 1t has
been the common opinion that not much
fruit could be grown in North Dakota.

Is He lnSanRl

The Scotland Citizen thinks the conduct
of Judge Smith upon his removal from the
bench indicates that he is slightly de-
mented, and cites this extract from the adj
dress it says the judge wrote announcing
himself as a candidate for the United States
senate: Judge Smith is one of the ablest
statesmen in the nation, and as member of
the senate can do the country great honor
and service, and hold President Cleveland
to an observance of law and justice in his
treatment of judges, and in all matters
affecting the interests of Dakota" Judge
Smith is one of the judges elect under the

this place, attempted to commit suicide
about noon to-day by shooting himself with
a revolver. He entered the blacksmith shop
of Andrew Boiler, formerly occupied by
himself, and while all in the shop were
busy, placed the deadly weapon to his head
just behind the right ear and fired. Dr..
Bedient was summoned and found that the
ball had in some way split. A small pOr-

fractured, and the balance could not be To-

The weapon was a thirtv-tw0 calibre and
it is surprising that death was not instan-

about hfteen years, was about go years OF

that business and family troubles had SO

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Dakota is the
subject of good deal of attention here just
now. The recent action of the people in
that territory, the discussion in congress,
and the presence here of some of the dele
gates sent here by the Territorial Demo-
cratic committee, combine to give good
deal of attention to the territory and her
prospects. Your correspondent met yester-
dav two members of the committee. 3. B.
Mccarthy and j. J. Smith. and asked their
views regarding the division of the terri
tory and its prospects of admission as a
state.
''We are opposed was the reply, 'to the
division of Dakora on the twenty-siXth paral-
lei or any other line, and are opposed TO the
admission of Dakota under the Sioux Falls
constitutional convention, which was got up
by set of politicians to forward their own
interests and to the detrment of the terri
tory. We consider the action of the last leg
lslaIure in appropriating $4,000 as unwise
and illegal and an abuse of power in wasting
the peoples money. We are opposed to the
scheme OF state government and the election
by that body OF two Republican senators at
their recent session at Huron as revolution

pointment of Mr.. Ziebaeh for governor. who
is in favor of division of Dakota and the adj
mission OF the southern half as state, which
would throw the whole machinery of state
hood in the hands of the old Yankton ring,
thereby endangering the prospects of grand
state. We are opposed to his Yankton ring
by association, marriage or otherwise We
have Endorsed and recommended the Hon. B

congressman, for governor of Dakota. He is

WANTS $4,000 DAMAGES
For Being Thrown from Passen
ger Train.

A suit was commenced yesterday in the
district court by Henry Damkroger against
the st. Paul & Duluth road to recover 500
600 for injuries inflicted by the agents of
the road upon him. The plaintiff alleges
that on the 10th day of January, 1885, he
took passage in one of the cars of that
company, running from st. Paul to Forest
Lake and return, for which he paid the
regular fare both ways. That at night the
agents of the railroad company dragged
him from his seat through the car to the
rear platform, and while the train was in
full motion threw him from the platform
into and upon the snow and ice along the
railroad track. whereby he was greatly
bruised and hurt. The ground was covered
with snow and it was in the night time, SO
that the plaintiff was compelled to wander
around in the dark in deep snow and finally
found his way back to the station, where
he was compelled to remain all night with
out adequate protection from the cold and
without comfortable shelter or food and
was exposed to severe cold and became
sick, the effect of which will be permanent
Therefore he asks $40, 900 damages.

The late Farce.

The Huron Democrat pronounces the late
legislative body in session in that city as the
final collapse" of the work of ambitious
Republican schemers, and says: Never
before have we seen such a large body of
men assembled where little or no interest
was SO manifestly stamped upon their faces
and in their deliberations so plainly discern
ible the history Of lost cause and the
mockery of a fanatical iasco. The only
matter of interest to the third house, and
possibly to the public, was the demonstrated
incapability of the lower house to
govern even its own deliberations and pro-
ceedings, without having the audacity and
assumption of pretending to act as represent
ativeS of the people of South Dakota"

In the Early DAYS

Col. Lounsberry has gathered a good
many statistics in his researches at
Fargo in reference to the early settlement
of that section. Until Dec, 1870, North
Dakota was in the VermilIion land district,
in Clay county, and the first homestead filing
was made by Joseph Rolette, Dec. 10, 1870.
The Pembina Office was opened about that
time, and Hon. Jud La Moure made the
second entry Oct. %, 1870. The first TIM
Der culture entry was made by A. McHench,
one of Ia, p esent large property owners of
Fargo, in Set 1878, and the second by
Capt. EgberJ few days later-these were
in Cass county. In that county, of which
Fargo is the metropolis, the Indian titles
were extinguished May 25, 1878, but settle
ment was made by several parties in 1872.
The Northern Pacific railroad track reached
the Red river early in 1872.

preston of the agreement of the parties in
the writing itself. If it imports on it's face
to be complete expression of the whole
agreement, that is, contains such language as
imparts complete legal obligation, it is con-
clusiyely presu med that the parties have in
troduced into it every material term, and
parole evidence cannot be admitted to add
another term, although the writing if silent

stated.
Col. Hausdorf emphatically contradicts
my statement that the regiment was dis
banded. and proceeds to give the facts by
stating that the regiment was ordered home
about two months before the three years
service had expired for the purpose of re-
enlsting as veterans, etc. l did not dispute
this; l know it to be a fact. l also know
that some fifty or sixty men in the regiment
re-enlisted before the expiration of their
term of service expired in the First regi-
ment but nevertheless, the First regiment
was disbanded, and all the companies, Off
GERS and men, were mustered out of the
service the first week in May, 1864. and the
veteran battalion of two companies was
organized and recruited after the old First
was out of service and no longer an organi-
cation.
l did not deny that Col. Hausdorf COM
manded the veteran battalion. but did
deny that he commanded the First regiment
of Minnesota for ten months. or for any
time. as Major Newson'S articles in the Pen
Pictures of Dec. 6 would lead one to be-
lieve.

out of the service as captain of 6

day of May, 1864, and l must confess
that l cannot comprehend what informa.

remaining with this battalion uutiI the fall

to believe or imagine that Col Hausdort
was either the first volunteer, or the first
man in the first company of the first regi.
ment.
