more cOnvicts in its penitentiaries, but that
is the case in Dakota. If there were more

| Judge Francis has mole friends among
| the people than attorneys. Some of them
rather like the idea of a cranky Judge who
will keep the lawyers in hot water.

1t is stated that a Dakota mutual life in
! sUTance company, which does u very large
| business, has not had a loss in the territory
in eighteen months. This is attributed to
the remarkable salubrity of the climate.
A man with performing rats and mice
was not allowed to exhibit without license

| st. John, in the Turtle mountains, which
did such phenomenal voting to secure the
county seat, is jubilant over the recent
action of Judge Francis in setting aside the
! injunction restraining the removal from
Dunleith. The question is not settled to
stay.
S. l.. Dalrymple one of the bonanza

hail will dodge him couple Of weeks more
he will harvest the finest crophe has ever
grown.
The Grand Forks Plaindealer this week
changed from evening to morning issue, and
has resumed the dispatches. The Herald

papers are under able management and
worthy opponents of the enterprise of one
of the most 1lOurishing cities in the terri
tory.
Judge Mcconnell of the Fargo district
has appointed w. VandercoOk of Huron
clerk of the court for Grand Forks county,
and, although not a resident of the county,
the appointment is said to be satisfactory
to most of the Grand Forks bar, the gentle

Milbank, too, is one of the towns that is
greatly in need of good hotel since the
fire last fall. 1t is one of the best points

little animals out, where the haistones
which were as large as goose eggs. killed
them. Many prairie chickens were found
killed by the hail. One farmer had a pig
killed and an OK knocked down by the icv
chunks. Some telds OF wheat were ruined.

The recent removal of prisoners from the
penltentlary at Sioux Falls to their quarters
at Bismarck, where a penitentiarv hos
lately been completed for North Dakota of
tenders, has raised a storm from Sioux
Falls, and Mr.. PettigreW's walls of wrath
are descending upon the governors devoted
head therefor. The removal is said to i'm
pair some labor contracts at Sioux Fails
and Is said to be in the interests of Bis
marck solely. The governors order does
not seem to conflict with the provisions of
the legislature establishing the North Da-
kota penitentiary.
The majority of the county board of
Trail finally gathered courage to decide to
build court house and jail at Caledonia in
spite OF the stalwart kickers. After the
contract was let, the people of Caledonia
and vicinity turned out and jubilated with
bonfireS, band and speeches. Col. Plum
mer made one of his sonOrous efforts aud

county Is out of debt and has some $50, 900
or $40, 900 in the treasury, but it Is eX-
pected to remove all temptation to burglars
in that quarter before the buildings are
completed. Caledonia is the political
metropolis of one of the finest wheat eoun-
ties in the Red river valley, but is twelve
miles from a railroad. The erection of
county buildings will make it permanent
point and draw railroad or two, it is be-
lieved.
