The Territorial Press

Codington County Courier: Mr..
Pettigrew, fearing the allurements of a
wicked lobby, and knowing the weak
nesses which legislators sometime
possess, has introduced resolution the
object of which is to prevent the bribery
of members by the wealthy ''third house. -
Lest he and his fellow members be led
into temptation, they should remove that
third house to Watertown, where people
are incorruptible.
DeSmet Leader: Our lawmakers at
Bismarck are wrestling with this prob
lem of woman's suffrage. Our own rep
resentatives, Messrs. Barnes and South
wick, voted for it, and of the remarks of
the former the Pioneer Press says: "His
remarks were thoroughly appreciated as
a sound, logical and strong presentation
of the subject, his speech being the most
effective one made in the course of the
debate" The bill passed the house on
! the 10th by vote of % to IS.
Commercial, (Ellendale.): The Dakota
house has voted to allow the right of
suffrage to women. All honor to the
men who voted for the measure. The
others will find out their mistake in
time.
Press and Dakotaian: There is a bill
in the legislature to change the time
when prairie chickens may be lawfully
shot from the 18th of August to the 1st
of September. From the provisions of
this bill we would prefer to see the ex-
treme southern counties exempted. The
18th of August is none too early in this
section and by the LIST of September the
chicken season is nearly over. For the
more northern sections the proposed new
law may be necessary, but here in this
tropical cline chickens ripen early.
Dakota Outlook: There is no reason
whatever why the soil of Dakota should
lose jot of it's pristine fertility, Her
farmers are, as class, too far-seeing and
intelligent to employ methods engendered
by Indifference and ignorance. The pro-
blem to be solved is simply, by what
means can the remarkable productive.
ness of the soil be maintained? What is
the best, cheapest and most effective
method? We answer without hesitation,
raise stock.
The Ordway Tribune: The members of
the legislature from this district are MAX
ing good. record this winter, and the
only fault found with their actions within
the district seems to be in Aberdeen. .
jamestown Capital: There is no doubt
that should the woman's suffrage bill
now before the legislature fail to become
a law at this time, the question will here
after be prominent one in Dakota poll
tics. Now that it is fairly before the ter
ritory, it's advocates will no doubt press
it until it is carried.
Codington County Courier: Repre-
sentative DeWoody, Of Edmund, sue
ceeded in getting his bill to annex range
66 to Edmunds and MACPHERSON coun-
ties. This strip was accidentally left out
of any county by the last legislature
when county boundaries were being ar
ranged.

long cold spell, and terrible wind and

against Dakota winters, the present win

has been in the east.

Mr.. NATw1cK must be very warm
blooded gentleman, as he voted against
the bill for supplying the capital with
coal. Whether he did this in the interest
of economy or because the building is
warm enough for him without heating is
not known.

from this district are deserving of great
credit for the work being performed by
them would be but to pay them ) a mild
compliment; and among the number. Mr..
DeWooody ranks as one of the most in
fluential."

The members of the legislature and
the governor and his staff have been in
vited by the citizens of Fargo, to attend
banquet in that city on Saturday, which
invitation has been accepted. They will
leave here on Friday evening. Returning
they will leave Fargo on Sunday night
and get back to Bismarck Monday morn
ing. A special car has been placed at
their disposal. There will be none in the
party except members of the Legislature,
the governor and his staff and members of
the press. The people of Fargo will
make this great occasion. They are the
most public spirited and liberal people of
the territory and never do anything by
by halves, and will make the stay of the
distinguished guests within their borders
an event to be long remembered by them.

IT is said by those who are in the
secret, that Hon. T.. NJ. DeWoody is pre-

suffrage bill, which he will soon hurl
into the arena of debate in the house.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1885-02-20

The supreme court of Kansas recently
decided that husband is not liable for
slanderous words uttered in his absence
by his wife. The court says: "Her
brains and hands and tongue are her own
and she should alone be responsible for
ISLANDERS uttered by herself" This decis-
ion is marked departure from the rule
of the common law which held the hus-
band and wife to be one and that one the
husband, making him the absolute ruler
and holding him responsible for her
words and acts. The Kansas court lays
down this as the better rule: 'The wife
in this state stands upon an equality in
all respects with the husband. She alone
is responsible for her contracts, and
should be alone responsible for her acts" :"
That is common sense and justice,
whether it agrees with musty judicial de-
cisions or not.-Waterloo Reporter.

THE DAKOTA TRIBUNE published at

merited tribute to Hon. NJ. z. DeWoody,
member from that county. It concludes
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1885-02-20

Dakota is rapidly attaining an unit nviable re-
putati, for bribery and official corruption and
is apparently older in sin than some Of her Sis
ters who have passed into statehood.
Bluffs Nonpariel.
The above item is copied into the col
umns of the Press and Dakotaian, OF
Yankton, and the charge acknowledged.
Then the Yankton editor in commenting
on the above, says: GAS a territory we are
almost at the mercy of men who gather
at the capital to loot the treasury instead
of to enact laws for the good of the peo-
ple.' There is an old an homely saying:
s'It is dirty bird that befouls its own
nest" What evidence has the Press and
Dakotaian that this is the character of the
men who gather at the capital? The pre-
sent legislature is fairly representative
body of men, and are presumed to be as
honest as the people who sent them here.
It is very questionable policy for anews-
paper published here in Dakota to join
in slandering the territory, it's people and
it's representative men. The people who
have come to this country from the east
are enterprising go-ahead people. They
have come to stay and help in the work
of building up mighty commonwealth.
They are honest, and have an honest
d sire to make name that shall rebound
to the credit of Dakota. The kind Of
talk indulged in by the Press and Dako-
taian furnishes arguments to the enemies
of the division and admission of Dakota.
Senator Vest could incorporate such
items as appear in the Yankton papers
into speech, with great effect. Is it
good policy to furnish our enemies with
the ammunition needed to fight us in our
efforts to obtain statehood?

An AnsMer 90 Pharmaceutisa.

To the Editor Of tie Dispatch:
The communication in your issue Of
the lth, signed Pharmaceutist, is
calculated to mislesd the majority of
our citizens who are not familiar with
chemistry and chemical reagents, and
hence requires reply. Now that we
have an excellent opportunity Of having
all abundant supply Of sparkling clear
water, it will not do to permit any mis-
understanding to intefere with the sue
cess Of the scheme. In the first
place, the very insoluble coating
which " Pharmaceutist" says has
been deposited in the pipes is
not likely to be washed off any
sooner by the clear water passing
through them than it would be by the
passage Of the muddy water. The de-
posit is Hs0luGle, and hence would
only be removed by the friction or me-
chsnlcal action of the water. Then
there would be manifestly more attri-
ton from the passage of water carry
ing lns0luble matter than from clear
water. But the most misleading part Of
"Pharmaceutlst's communication is in
his reference to the danger OF using
alum. His chemical authority quoted
is good. but 1t does not apply in this
case. lie quotes Graham's Chemistry
10 show that the action Of alum on me-
tails. either iron or lead. is Ito dis
solve them with the evolution OF HYDRO
gen. But he does not inform the pub
lie that to produce such a result il is
necessary to have a saturated solution
Of alum. He advises the public to clear
their water by adding to each gallon
from three TO six grains Of alum.
And j am informed that it is
not contemplated TO use the alum
in any larger proportion for the
water in the city reservoir. Now,
as to solution Of alum only six grains
to the gallon having any corrosive power
on iron or lead, the idea is preposterous.
The fact is that any solution Of alum
strong enough to corrode metal aud
coniaminate the water would render
such water entirely unfit for use either
as drinking water or for culinary or
toilet purposes. The atmosphere We
breathe is contaminated with carbonic-
acid gas by the constant respiration Of
animals, both human and brute, aud by
the respiration Of plants, but we are
not injured by our continual inhalation
OF It. But let any one breathe an At
mosphere Of pure carbonic-acid gas,
and life will be extinct in few mo-
ments.
Strychnine is deadly poison when
only few grains is swallowed, pro-
ducing death in short tune. but
IN doses OF from one-thirtieth to one
hundredth Of a grain, given three times
day in solution, it is a safe and valu-
able medicine. PHARMACIST.

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch. !
PETERSBURG, July IL, 1885.
In view Of the two conventions to be
held this month"; Richmond the politi-
cal situation is being discussed with
considerable zeal here. While the
Democrats of Petersburg, who have al
ways stood so nobly to their colors,
have their individual preferences for the
candidate for Goyernor, the general dis
position is 10 suit all personal feeling in
the matter and to heartily accept any
man ofclear record whom the Dem crstic
Convention may present to the people
for that position. They have sent their
delegates without instructions, asd de-
sire that they shall consult with the
delegates from all parts Of the State
and then agree upon the best man for
the Office, no matter from what section
he may hail. In this respect our Demo-
cratic people feel that the Convention
has a patriotic work TO do.
Ii is intimated in certain quarters
that the Evans Independents (colored
Republicans) mean to contend for the
denomination Of Armistead Green (cO-
lored) and one Of the candidates in this
city for the House of Delegates. In
the congressional canvass of last fall
Green threw all his influence to Evans
as against Colonel Brady. Whether or
not this sin will he passed over by the
Republican Nominating Convention re-
mains TO be seen; probably 1t will.
But in the event Green is beaten in the
Convention. it IS said to be the inten-
tion Of his friends here to nominate him
independently. The Independent vote
cast here last fall was too large to
dcspi,e. 1t holds the balance OF power
The Democrats OF Prince George
county met at the courthouse Thursday
and elected delegates to the State Con-
yentlon, as follows Joseph K. Tucker.

The delegates were not instructed.
Joe Green and wife are worthy ne
gro laborers living in Prince George
county and employed by Mr.. Edward
Marks on his farm, " Summer View.
Joe and his wife came to town this
morning to make some purchases, and
about noon started for home. As they
passed the railroad crossing on Syca-
more and Washington streets, the horse
which they were driving took freight at
a moving train and ran away. Both
Joe and his wife were thrown violently
from the cart upon the curb stone, and
the cart passed over them. The woman
was injured internally, and her skull
was fractured. Joe had his right arm
broken, his leg fractured, and was also
internally injured. They were taken
into the store Of X. II. Hampton in an
unconscious condition, and a physician
summoned to attend them. The couple
have family of young children they
had locked up in their cabin in the
county. Help was sent the little ones.

Cohen, adds new chapter TO the biga-
my story. The Dispatch correspondent
tried to interview her this morning, but
already DR.. Cohen had reached her and
sealed her lips with the mysterious in
tluence with which he seems TO control

from her by the closest questioning. In
broken German she steadfastly refuses
to give him away, and it is now though,
the gay deceiver will escape punishment
through the testimony Of No. l, who
stated to some parties that she lived
with the man twenty-five years, but was
never married. His trial will occur on
the 18th.

phus-fever, scarlet-fever, and diphthe-

This little town is rapidly becoming
quite summer resort. There are new
about thirty persons here from the
SOuth-mostly from New Orleans who
will remain during the summer months,
and every week brings fresh arrivals.
The weather is extremely warm, and
the need Of rain is beginning to be felt.
The wheat crop has been harvested
and turns out to be much better than at
one time it was thought it could be.
Other crops are growing rapidly and
are very promising. The fruit crop is
abundant, and peaches and early apples
are ripening.
The Methodist Sunday school went
out TO the Fair Grounds, about a mile
and half from town, to hold pic mic
to-day. They were accompanied by the
Flncastle Cornet Band, and will spend
the whole day in having a general good
time.
A Democratic mass-meeting will be
held here Monday to appoint delegates
to the Richmond Convention.
Mr.. John S. Henderson, the newly
elected sheriff, and Mr.. Ii. K. Burger,
the former incumbent, who was con-
testing the election Of Mr.. Henderson,
have effected compromise satisfactory
to both, and Mr.. Burger withdraws.
This puts an end to what would doubt
less have proved expensive and lengthy
litigation.

Especial telegram 70 the Dispaish.l


MARTINsvILLE, VA, July H.
About thirty-seven witnesses have been
examined in the Stone case. The jury
rendered verdict yesterday to the
effect that Queen Stone, who was found
dead several days ago, came to her death
from cruel and brutal treatment at the
hsuds Of her husband, G.. L. Stone, Jr.,
and his father, G.. l.. Stone, Sr. They
have been o)mmitted to jail to await
the action Of the grand jury. The
evidence before the coroner's jury dis
closes a great outrage. Mrs. Stone was
literally tortured to death by the most
shameful and unnatural treatment. The
people in the vicinity are very much in
censed. and applauded the decision Of
the jury.
