S242 600 for losses That margin, with the
growing business it is thought, will sustain
about forty home companies and it looks as
if there would be nearly that number at no
distant period.
1t is understood that strong influences in
the north, and especially in the radius OF
Bismarck, will try to operate wires reaching
to Washington to prevent the appointment
of Mr.. Ziebach as governor. There is no
party politics involved. Gov. Pierce will be
much preferred.
There is still good deal of feeling in that
part of the territory over the Rev. DIR. Shell
land and DR.. Conlin affair, and sentiment
is much divided. This is the Shetland view
as stated by the Alexandria Herald: Rev.
| Shetland claims that DR.. Conlin has been
paying improper attention to a young lady
member OF his family. That he wrote letters
to her of an indecent and insulting nature.
That she showed the letters to his wife. and
finally when one came strongly urging her to
meet him at Villas when they would go to
New Orleans together, plan was laid to
bring matters to termination. A dispatch
was sent and signed as had been suggested
by the doctor. When that gentleman arrived
at Villas he was made to sign an acknowl-
| edgemeut of what is claimed he had done
and an agreement not to further modest the
lady. The money was voluntarily con-
tributed to pay hotel bills No notes were
! signed, and revolvers only drawn after all
was over because Mr.. Shetland thought the
doctor was about to draw.
Recently the house and barn of G. o. Sol
berg near La Moure was burned, the family
barely escaping with their lives. The cit,
liens made up a generous subscription fol
the family. The weekly list of births at La
Moure comprises one pair of twin girls, and
the example is highly commended by the
local papers.
A party from Nebraska is shipping sheer
largely to North Dakota. He has already
sold 5000 and will soon bring 10000. There
is growing interest in that line and it is be-
lieved it can be made very profitable.
According to the Chronicle there is trouble
among the female politicians at La Moure
The president of the club is too liberal to.
wards the men to suit the radicals, who fol-
low this line according to the paper. The
vice president and her adherents insist that
man must take the second place in all po-
| litical, social and domestic matters. Women
must be pre-eminent in governmental as
well as household affairs, owing to her
superiority OF intellect and easy comprehen-
sion Of momentous questions. Man is only
brute who dominates at present chiefly be-
cause of his greater pugnacity and fondness
for public plumber. His low origin precludes
the idea of lis continuance in the best So
ciety, and his political leadership is therefore
out OF the question for the future.
The first night of the military drama,
''Under Which Flag" given under the au-
spices of the G. A. r. at Fargo, was even a
greater success than anticipated. There was
very little friction and the parts were all well
carried. There was an immense crowd and
all were pleased. 1t is believed the play will
have good run in the states and bring the
author. Prof. Dazey, and Dakota into note.
1t is to be repeated Wednesday and Thursday
nights.
Leonard Gee came to Dakota three years
ago and located near Altoona in Brown
county just below the forty-sixth parallel, and
his statement made to the Eagle shows what
can be done, especially in fruit, to which
little attention has been given in the north
| erlv sections. He SAYS: I have raised
twenty-five bushels of wheat to the acre for
two years, and forty-fve of oats. have had
very good corn, and vegetables raised here
beat anything 1 ever saw. My cattle have
always wintered well by running to the straw
stack with small feeding Of hay and oats
fed once day. 1 have planted large
number of small fruit trees and have cherry
trees three years old that matured fruit last
season. Apple aud plum trees, as well as
raspberry bushes, grow and thrive. Ny black
berries and strawberries aud currants all
fruited abundantly last year, excepting black
berries. have had good success with willow,
cottonwood, Lombardy poplar and box alder
trees, some of them standing six feet high
from cuttings set two years. l also have
maple, ash, black walnut, black cherry and
locust trees, doing finely. I shall double my
plant of trees and fruits this coming spring.
