Special Correspondence of the Globe.
IPSWICH, May 27.-Last December Wis
tied this BEAUTIFUL city of the Missouri slope,
and which is also the terminus of the Has
tings & Dakota division of the Chicago,
Milwaukee d st. Paul railroad and was
surprised at its marvellous growth in so
short time. A few days after | left, 1p-
switch was visited by big fire, burning al
most whole block. To-day the burned
district is all rebuilt and much better than
before. :. Ipswich is having a big boom
this season, and it richly deserves it. There
has been about two thousand Russians al
ready located on farms in Edmunas county
and the citizens tell me that 1000 more are
on their way here and will locate as soon as
they arrive. The city is being beautified
this spring by the setting out of shade and
ornamental trees. The city dads pur-
chased 200 trees and gave them to the citi-
Zens to plant. .Supt Keelie wrote one
of the business men of Ipswich few days
ago, saying that the railroad platform would
soon be extended to Main street, the coal
sheds moved and street graded to the
south side. This will be great improve
ment. The heavy rains of the past few
days have done the crops great deal OF
good, and if nothing happens from this on,
Edmunds county will raise the largest crop
ever produced in Dakota. Maj. L. A.
Burke of Ipswich is one of the most pop
ular and leading Democrats in Dakota. He
has the support of all the Democrats and
many of the Republicans in this section,
also by all the prominent Democrats Of In
diana, his native state, for any lucrative
Office President Cleveland may honor him
with. He was gallant soldier, having
served three years in the late war. We
hope to see the majors service to his country
and party remanded as no better man lives
in Dakota. The GLOBE is the popular
paper here, it now having list larger than
all others combined.
Land office Appointments.
WATERFOWL Democrat: The appoint
ment of MessrS. Sheafe & Bramble to the
offices of register and receiver for the
United States land Office at this place gives
general satisfaction to residents of this dis
trict regardless of party. Although the
present incumbents during their sojourn
among us have made many warm personal
friends, they wisely bow to the inevitable
and gracefully submit to DEGREES of fate.
Mr.. Mark W. Sheafe, the new register, was
formerly from GAINESVILLE, Wis, and is an
but for several years past has been extern
sively engaged in the milling business; was
educated for lawyer but became so much
occupied in commercial pursuits that he
dropped Blackstone and gave his entire at
tentiOn to industrial and commercial pur-
suits. He is a staunch and lifelong Demo-
GRAFT, standing to his principles through adj
versity and now, after long years, is justly
rewarded for fidelity. The receiver that is
to be, Mr.. d. T. Bramble, an old pioneer
and plainsman of the Northwest, was at
one time wholesale merchant at Yank-
ton, but of late has been engaged in over
land freighting from the Northern Pacific
to Deadwood and other points in the Black
Hills. He also is thoroughbred, uncOm-
promising Democrat, whose appointment
is hailed with joy by Dakotans who ex-
press gratitude to an administration that
has confidence enough in the intelligence
and ability of residents of the territory to
honor them with federal appointments in
stead of inficting decayed and condemned
timber from the ranks of Eastern politi-
clans upon them.
