The most heartless thing saw In the
northwest was this: Mr.. Partridge, of
Moorhead, had gone to Fort Keogh for
the body of his son. At the station
some one scribbled over the box: ''Stiffy

The most nsible thing saw hi the
northwest was poet sewing his manu-

The most generous thing saw In the
northwest was an old granny refusing

Kentucky did not Want to Secede.
Louisville Commercial

The people OF Kentucky did not de-
sire to secede, and they showed it
every time they had chance to ex-
press an opinion. They showed it at
the election in the summer of 1860, at
the presidential election in 1860, at
the congressional election in MAY,
1861, by a majority of over "a 600 /;
they showed it at the legislative cleo
ton In August, 1861, when the Union
men were put Ia an overwhelming
majority in the legislature they show
ed 1t decisively by furnishing nearly
$4,000 soldiers to support the Union
cause, and they showed it, finally, and
to the disgust of the confederate gen
erals and authorities, when they de-
cllned to rally to the confederate
standard when Johnston came to
Bowling Green. and Beckner to Green
River; and again when Bragg brought
his forces wlthin sight of louisville
and Cincinnati. Senator Blackburn
has made the claim that Kentucky
furnished $4,000 soldiers to the con-
federate cause, and Mr.. Smaller, in his
recent history, puts the number at
10000. We believe that neither of
them can give an authority to support
his estimate. twenty-five thousand,
to our mind, is liberal figure at
which to put the number of confeder-
ate soldiers urrished by Kentucky,
although up TO September, 1861, the
facilities for enlisting in the confeder-
ate service in Kentucky were as great
as for enlistiug in the Union service.
although good part of the state was
in the possession of the confederates
from September, 1861, up to February,
1862, and although in the summer and
fall of 1862 they had every facility for
securing Kentucky recruits.

were to divide among themselves and then

THE Fargo Argus, Of the lith inst, an
nounces the invention by DIR. Crucivil Of
that city, of o new process for sinking ar
tesian wells. 1t operates on the principle
of the screw and carries metal pipe with
il as il sinks The inventor thinks it can
sink the pipe 500 feet in twenty -four hours
when ready for business. The same ar
tiele says there is an artesian well at Alb
erdeen, in Dakota, $50 feet deep that
throws stream of water 200 feet above
the surface Of the earth at the rate of ?,
100000 gallons in "a hours. That is just
the kind of wells that Montana wants and
when we can get machinery that will bore
such a well in forty eight hours, there will
be the finest field for its profitable employ
ment in Montana of any country that we
know Of 1t will save building any more
water bitches. In July the inventor is to
have the machinery in readiness for a test
in Fargo and 1t will pay for some Montana
man TO be there and be ready TO take hold
if ii is what is claimed.
