graphs of nine young ladies in the East who
are coming to that section on assurances
that they can select husbands from large
amount of material in that place.
A temperance revival was in progress the
past week at Kimball, in Burie county, I'M
der the direction of Mrs. Barber, an evan
gelist of Chamberlain. Rev. w. B. Affleck,
the noted Englishman, also aided, and the
results are regarded as gratifying.
In the newer and central regions the pa
pers nearly all contain accounts of damage
from prairie fires. In Hand county, j. r.
Hanson lost sixteen head of fine blooded
cattle burned in his stable, with a great
amount of other stock, barely saving the
house.
A herd of fifteen head of buffalo has been
seen in Logan, one of the most unsettled
regions south of the Northern Pacific. A
number of hunters have gone on their trail,
but had not sighted them at last accounts.
They probably wintered in the Missouri
river region.
The reported refusal of the president to
reverse the action of President Arthur in
opening the reservations, but leave it for
congress to act upon, is regarded as in the
interest of the settlers. as they can go on
and make crops with very little doubt that
congress will confirm their claims.
Olivet, in Hutchinson county, had very
close call last week from the prairie fire,
which was carried on the wings of a fifty
mile wind. Half a dozen stores and a
saloon and ice house were burned, but the
vigorous efforts of all the people were re-
Quired to save the two printing offices, the
chief hotel and several large residences.
There are many of the towns exposed to
dangers of this sort.
The Mandan papers think that Abbot
made great mistake in locating that hos
pital on the east side Of the Missouri river.
Some money had been raised for it in Man
dan and the excavation for the foundation
made, with a part of the building material
bought. They think the purchase of the
| Lamborn at Bismarck from Mckenzie is an
other illustration of the remarkable fneSSe
of that wonderful boomer.
Private advices from Washington are be-
! lieved to about settle it that d. F. Polk is
| to be the lucky seeker of the postoffice al
! Fargo when there is a change made, but
there is a good deal of foreboding that the
present incumbent will be persuaded to
I serve out his two years.
The farmer editor of the Valley City
Democrat has devised way to keep his
potatoes and vegetables without cellar.
He dug a square hole and lined the bottom
and sides with hay packed solid, then put
| in his vegetables and more hay with little
| dirt On top and the frost did not touch
them. 1t is good suggestion where the
ground freezes six or seven feet deep.
The farmers at the few points on the
Northern Pacific railroad that have expert
mnOtQd with tho Opyv low in GRO n,
in bulk are in much better humor with the
railroad managers than before at theiI
graceful compliance with the statute, and
the shippers claim that they have saved
quite a nice margin on their wheat.
Detachments of cavalry from Fort Totten
on Devils lake are watching the points in
the Turtle Mountains to see that no arms
or armed parties cross the line into Man

take hand in the trouble
The editor of the Dunseith Herald is de-
| lighted to get back after 1000 miles OF
! travel in the states and indicates this eX-
| perience: 1T is very difficult, if not i'm

Dakota in the Eastern papers, while any
disgTuntled neer do well with a tale de-
rOgatOTy TO this territory is gladly welcomed

Every member of the late legislature has
| received a grouped photo Of himself and his
fellow Solons and he is convinced that they
are the cOuntenances of statesmen. There
are many gOod-lOoking faces among them,
and very few that look as if less than 81, 00C
could easily find its way into their pockets
to facilitate the adjustment of the capital
or other public questions.
As a pointer to Eastern girls who have
their eyes on Dakota, it is suggested that il
they can pick up change enough to come
out and enter claim and live on it six
months, so as to prove up, they are certain
to have a chance to select from more than
one good offer of marriage from neighbor-
ing land holders. No instance of failure is
known, even in case of dried up and unat.
