DAKOTA'S GROWTH.
Facts and Figures from the Report of Gov.
Gilbert A. Pierce.


WASHINGTON, Nov. Col Gilbert A. PIERCE
Governor of Dakota, has made his annual re-
port to the Secretary Of the Interior, showing
the material progress of that Territory during
the past year. A large proportion of the report
is devoted to quotations and comparisons of
facts exhibited by the returns Of the Territorial
census taken last summer. The population of
the Territory now is 4l6,000, as against 135, l80
when the federal census was taken in 1880 The
Governor says the year has been very prosper
Gus one for the Territory. Not only have the
crops been excellent. but the prices commanded
have been very much in advance of
those realized year ago. The result is buoy
ancy of feeling on the part of the people most
encouraging and reassuring. With the single
exception of wheat, the aggregate yield of small
grains for 1885 is largely in excess of that of
1894 The reduction in the acreage of wheat was
caused by the low price of that staple in 1884.
Surveys for number of new lines of railroad
have been made during the year, and the Gov
ernor believes that another twelve months
will see many new enterprises of this
character under headway or completed.
The Territory has developed a number
of manufacturing establishments within the
past few years, embracing woollen mills, flour
ing mills. quarres, breweries machine shops,
etc. Reference is made to the constitutional
convention held this fall, and the Governor
bespeaks kindly hearing by Congress or the
appeal for admission to the Union made oy the
people of the Territory, and long argument -

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The following procla-

ifested in every stage of their national life
guarding and protecting them in time of peril,
and safely leading them in the hour of darkness
and danger. 1t is fitting and proper that ma
tion thus favored should, on one day in every
year. for that purpose especially appointed,
publicly acknowledge the goodness of God and
return thanks to him for ali his gracious gifts.
Therefore, /, Grover Cleveland. President of the
United States of America, do hereby designate
and set apart the 26th day of November instant,
as day of public thanksgiving and prayer, and
do invoke the observance of the same by all the
people of the land. On that day let all secular
business be suspended and let the people as
semble in their usual places of worship, and with
prayer and songs of praise, devoutly testify their
gratitude to the Giver of every good and perfect
gift for all that He has done for US in
the year that has passed; for our
preservation as a united Nation, and for our de-
lverance from the shock and danger of political
convulsion: for the blessing of peace, and for our
safety and quiet while wars and rumors of wars
have agitated and afflicted other nations of the
earth; for our security against the scourge OF
pestilence which in other lands has claimed its
dead by thousands and filled the streets with
the labor of the husbandman and increase our
Nations wealth, and for the contentment
throughout our borders which follows in the train
of prosperity and abundance.
And let there also be on the day thus set apart
a reunion of families sanctifed and chastened
by tender memories and associations, and let the
social intercourse of friends, with pleasant
"reminiscences renew the ties of affection and
strengthen the bonds of kindly feeling.
And let us by no means forget while we give
thanks and enjoy the comforts which have
crowned our lives that truly grateful hearts are
inclined to deeds of charity. and that kind and
thoughtful remembrance of the poor will double
the pleasures of condition and render our
praise and thanksgiving more acceptable in the
sight of the Lord.

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
MADISON, Ind, Nov 2-It was currently re-
ported on the streets to-day that Mr. A S. Wolf,
of North Madison, and the National Branch
Bank, OF this city, had been induced to purchase
couple of alleged gold bricks, paying therefore
oouo; also, that the bricks had turned out to be
pieces OF brass plated with gold, after the pur-
chase mad been made and the party purchased
from had made good his escape. In addition,
came the report that the bank had levied on the
Macison Brownstown & Bedford pike of which
Wot Is secretary and treasurer and q large
owner TO secure payment of So 900 claimed to
have been borrowed of them by Wolf, for the
purpose of buying the brick of base metal
1t is olfhcult to get a correct explanation
Your correspondent visited the courthouse to
learn what he could about the suit He discov-
cred that an official document had been filed in
court, from which it appears that Wolf exc
cuted note to the National Branch Bank for
$4,000. payable on demand, at per cent. inter-
est, and that he agreed to secure the $5, 600 by
transferring to them his stock in the Madison,
Brownstown & Bedford turnpike, and gave D.
Il. Reed, cashier of the bank, power of attor-
ney to transfer said stock to the bank on the
BOOKS or the turnpike company; also, that, after
he got the money, he refuse TO transfer the stock
The bank now brings suit on this note and at
taches his property and asks for a fulfllment of
this contract
Mr.. Volts statement is that he informed the
National Branch Bank that no knew man fnan-
cially distressed, who had two gold bricks worth
$40, 900, which he would sell for $4,000 Wolf
produced a sample of one of the bricks to Mr..
Reid as an expert in gold and silver bullion, who
tested the same and pronounced it twenty four
carets fine Mr.. Wolf afterward produced the
two bricks. which he submitted to Mr. Reids in
spection as an expert, who then pronounced
them 223 carets fine He then issued a certificate
OF deposit which he claims to hold for two gold
bricks containing about $21, 900, and took the
same as collateral for the loan of Sc. 900. In ad
dition to this, Mr. Wolf gave his note for 81, 600
He drew So, 900, but the bank held his note for
$1,000 which he never received, and have now
brought suit against him to recover the S., 900.
President Powell and other officials of the bank
deny the truth of VOLTS story but decline to
make any further statement preferring to await
investigation by the court

might be taken advantage of by the landlords to
