sey county, and the feeling is warmly
reciprocated. Ramsey county gave Is
majority against the Pembina schemer
last fall. Jud's district is bounded on
the north by the international line, on
the east by Red river, and includes Penn
bina, Washington, Cavalier, Rolette and
Bottineau counties. Jud had to put his
own county (Pembina) in the district,
although it went against him last fall.
The west end of Jud's district includes
the half.breed settlements and Chippe-

to be congratulated upon being rid o.

COUNTY BOUNDARIES.

In this issue of the INrER.O OCEAN will
be found an outline map of Ramsey
county as the boundaries were fixed by
the late legislature. twill be observed
that our western limits have been ex.
tended from six to eight miles, taking
in three townships of Benson county;
six towns of Cavalier county have also
been embraced in Ramsey, while two of
our northeastern towns have been set
off to the new county of Blaine and the
southern boundaries of the county are
changed to conform to the south shores
of the lake. Ramsey county is thus
made AZ miles long from north to south
along the eastern boundary and 36
miles wide through its center from east
to west. The bill provides for a special
election in the portion set off from Ben
son county, but the addition from Cav
alier is made absolute, no election be.
ing required. Another bill which
passed the legislature the past session
provides for five commissioners districts
in certain counties, Ramsey being
among the number. We have not seen
this extra commissioner district bill,
but presume the election for these extra
officers will take place next fall when a
vote is taken for a commissioner in the
first district. This will require a redis
tricting of the entire county, and il
would be the fair thing to give prefer
ence to some resident of the acquired
territory, both north and west, when
the time comes to choose the extra
commissioners.
The loss of the Indian reservation or
the south is practically no loss at all
considered from the standpoint Of taxa
ton, while the acquisitions on the north
and west are we'll settled and comprise
some of the most fertile lands in North
Dakota. The county's Importance
based upon the valuation of assessable
property in it, is largely increased. The
voting population Of the county is also
increased, and some very good citizens
are added to Ramsey's ranks.
Considering the character of the late
legislature and the selfish disposition Of
its majority, we are not so certain but
that we should feel thankful in having
any county at all. The whole session
has been devoted to the game o
"gouge and bite" and men who went tt

THE Montpelier Argus and Patriot,
the only Democratic paper in the state
of Vermont, has this item about Dakota,
which is both amusing and interesting:
Dakota is promised a fresh infusion
of genuine New England blood this
spring. 1t is said that at least 1000
Vermonters are to emigrate to the
other side of the Mississippi before fall,
the 100 veterans from Windsor, Orange
and Washington counties who are prom
inent in the movement having set their
hearts on living in the Territory whose
vast unbroKen expanse has attracted
such q flood of emigration the past year.
Once settled in a brawling region. even
this small colony of sturdy soldier-farm@
ers could but spread abroad a law(
abiding influence, and aid in subduing
cowboyism and the soil together.

Dakota's Friend.

Col. P. Donan arrived here Monday
and is looking after his farming in
terests at Chilhoa, just south of this city.
The Colonel will prepare his house for
the reception Of joaquin Miller, Eugene
Field and Page M. Baker. The latter is
editor of the New Orleans Times-D Demo-
crat. These gentlemen have arranged to
come about the first Of August with a
party Of friends and 60 into camp. They
will remain a month hunting and fish
ing. Col. Donan has accomplished great
good for Dakota since he left here last
November. He has been to all the prin-
cipal points Of the Union enlightening
people in regard to this wonderland.
Most of his time has been spent at New
Orleans, where he electrified the repre-
sentatives of many chimes by enthusi-
astic speeches on Dakota. His Dakota
day Grafton has been copied far and
wide. The Colonel expects to return to
New Orleans in a few weeks to continue
the good work for Dakota.

and promise Of the brightness of the
day of full deliverance.
S. Sardis. White raiment and open
confession by Christ. Not only exter-
nal foes but inward corruption must b.
conquered. No heaven except for the
spotless. The Christian, here often
tempted to doubt his acceptance and
title to heaven, will there be tormented
by no more doubt. For his name shall
not be blotted out of the book of life,
and the Lord Jesus will dissipate all
doubt by confessing him as his own.
s.. Philadelphia. A pillar in the
temple of God, and marked with the
name of God, the name of the New
Jerusalem and the new name of Christ.
The pillar is the emblem of perma-
enc and beauty. The redeemed
Christian will have more than negative
excellence-not only the spotlessness of
the white raiment, but the beauty of the
pillar. The name marked on him re-
veals the name of Jehovah borne on the
forehead of the high priest-he shall be
the Lords own. Bearing the name of
the New Jerusalem is a full assurance
OF citizenship, a perfect right to all its
pleasures, privileges and benefits. Bear
ing the new name of Christ probably
denotes acquaintance with excellences
and beauties in him not yet revealed to
us, and which We are probably incapable
of understanding now.
7. Laodicea. Sitting on the throne
of Christ. Read the gospel history and
note his power, majesty and glory. The
human imagination staggers before the
task of compromising the richness Of
blessing in the promise of sharing his
throne.
In these promises we find a glowing
conception of heaven exactly suited for
the painting, wearied Christian soldier
on earth longing for the victory. Our
views of heaven would be sadly incom-
plete should we fail to study and love it.

Our Bonds Sold.

A letter from Commissioner Rumney
received Monday night by Clerk Percival
conveys the information that our Sis, 900
general county bonds have been taken
by G. Livingston at par. It will be re-
membered that MI. Livingston pur-
chased these bonds at 8 per cent interest,
but the legislature passed the enabling
act prescribing per cent, and that they
must go at par. The requirements of
the bill have been fulfilled. Chairman
Rumney has worked hard to place these
bonds, and that he should have received
as good a price as the bonds of Walsh
county brought-Ramsey county being
smaller, considerably younger and hav-
ing a great deal less population-speaks
we'll for his efforts and for the county.
The bonds will be issued in a few days,
n the money for them will soon be on
hand to strengthen up the county's in
d~ebtedness.

The Trouble Caused by a Too
Low-Necked Dress.
Miss Mabel l.. Hearne, a bewitching
Philadelphia girl, brings a damage suit
against one Stackhousen, manager of
the Mennerchor masquerade, alleging
that she was assaulted upon the ball
room floor and told she must leave the
hall or put on more clothing. Miss
Hearne wore a black velvet evening
dress, after the style of the court of Lon
don, being cut square-necked back and
front, short sleeves, with long kid gloves
to shoulders, covering both arms. The
complaint goes on to say that while it

reporter called to see Miss Hearne, and
says of her: She is q spirituelle, 1.-the
and willowy demi-blonde, and the for
tunate possessor Of sparkling hazel eyes,
shaded by long, dropping lashes. Every
lineament of her beautiful c]ountenance
denotes modesty, refinement and intel
ligence. Her beauty is such, even when
attired in the ordinary dress of domestic
duty, that the reporter readily believed
the assertion of her friends that the
trouble was caused by the envy of other
women, who could not abide in quiet
the presence of a beauty who diminish
ed their opportunities for conquest. At
the reporters suggestion Miss Hearne
went out, and presently returned wear
