thusiasm over these little domestic events in
Dakota, for various reasons.
Col. Isaac Britton, general manager of the
Dakota IL Great Southern railroad, has been
in Fargo recently and states that the directors
assure him that the road will be built from
Brtton to Columbia early in the season.
| jamestown has organized dramatic troupe
in the highest circles of the city, and ''Down
by the Sea, or Found at Last,'' will be put on
the boards in handsome style soon. The
city is noted for musical talent and charming
women.
lodge of Knights of Pythias has been
organized at jamestown, and a new one OF
that order soon will be in Fargo. Bismarck
has Grove of Druids, the first in the terri
tory, and during the session the Knights Of
Malta will come to the front
The post of the G. A. r. at Flandreau are
putting upon the boards the popular war
drama, "The Virginia Veteran" 1t is, in
many respects, adapted to amateurs, and,
under the able management in charge, it will
give great satisfaction.
Since Col. Plummer has taken the helm on
the Bismarck Tribune it has become a sheet
worthy of 49, 900 capital. Neither Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Missouri or Wisconsin have
papers at the capital to compare with it. The
colonel claims that he absorbed journalistic
inspiration from j. G. Blaine while in
Maine.
The papers in north Dakota are full of ten
der sympathy for the people of Kansas, Him
OILS and other sections that have suffered
from severe cold and storms of late. They
do not understand why people will continue
| to endure such weather while Dakota inv ties
them to its salubrious and enliVening eli
mate.
The Hand County Press relates that a
farmer brought to Miller. 600 bushels of
nicely cleaned No. 2 wheat, for which the
local buyer offered him 46 cents. The
farmer refused to take it, and said he would
not sell for less than 80, and the dealer paid
him the 90 cents. Others may see sugges
ton in it.
Nearly all the special interests in the terri
tory have held or Will hold conventions at
Bismarck during the session, to advise the
law makers, and now Judge Warnoch, of the
jamestown Ale,t, is arranging for Sunday
School convention, probably mainly for the
moral benefit of the members. The judge is
Jealous worker in that cause.
There is very wide diversity in the salaries
OF county officials as fixed by the county
boards. County attorney ranges from $500
10 81, 200, the latter in Cass. Barnes paws
5000 and Stutsman $780, Some counties pay
school superintendent as low as 5000 or
$500, and the highest ST. 500. The whims or

The papers in Dakota do not take kindly
to the suggestion attributed TO the Minneap-
oils Tribune that the merchants of Missouri
towns should be boycotted on account of the
course of Senator Vest. The Rapids City Re
publican calls 1t childish threat. and thinks
all the states and parties. including Maine.
that have opposed admission, might us well
be put on the black list
The recent collapse of the bank at Wa
dena, Mimi, suggests that the owner, e. D.
Case. was at one time largely interested in
an addition to Fargo, and some intimate
that not very many months ago he was in
terested in little game here that dimin-
ished bis resources some 81 200 ina short
space of time. Possibly he INDUCED in
other outside speculations.
The Britton Daylight reports increased en-
thusasm among the prospectors for coal In
Day county, and new developments that give
much assurance Of an abundance OF coal of
good quality. There is almost as much ex-
element over it as If there were gold mines
to be opened. As coal is Sl7 ton there it
is easy to see why there is interest in Il.
Some Of the papers In favor of the removal
Of the capital, are quoting Gov. Pierce's
Yankton speech in which he seemed to pledge
himself u abide the voice Of the people on
this capital question. He will have To ex-
plain. The Yaukton Press has this comfort:
1t Is consOling 10 know that while we are
shiycring with the mercury sixteen below
our Bismarck brethren are having IL red hot.
A strong effort is being made to change
the location Of the big hotel to be erected in
Fargo 10 take the place of the one burned,
to the corner Of Washington and Eighth
streets, and in connection with II have Il fine
opera house, which is hardly less needed
than the hotel. The location Is a choice one,
but will much effect the value OF property on
Broadway as well as Eighth and Ninth
streets.
Geo. B. WiDship, Of the Grand Forks
Herald, has been at the capital since the ses-
sion opened and returned home YESTERDAY
He has been able to sound the movement
scheme pretty thoroughly, and is Of the opin-
ion that nothing will come Of IL directy but
II will give greater unanimity to the demand
for division and disslpate much Of the indif-
ference IN the north in regard TO Il. He
thinks all are now convinced that admission
as one state would mean constant wrangling
between the sections, and be fertile In cor
rIption, as the north to obtain anything must
combine with some faction in the south and
back any jobs that may be wanted.
The dedication Of the new masonic quar-
iers in Fargo Friday night was quite an era
with the local craft. The capacity Of the
balls and parlors was put to the test, al
though not all Of the 700 invited we're pres
cut, with their wives and daughters. The !
rooms were pronounced models Of cOuven-
Ieuee and perfect In equipment, exceeded !

cities. The dcdicaiory services we're lengthy |
