parties will be arrested.

"A PECULIAR feature Of the Cleveland
strike, now in progress says the Globe
Democrat, sis tho fact the men who to-
day are engaged in beating the laborers
who have taken their places are the men
who, only few months ago, were
brought into the country as cheap labor,
were armed by their new employers and
hidden to resist foroibly any effort to
drive them from their work, The
threat OF violence therefore came
first from the employers who
taught these men to rely for pro-
lection, not upon the officers of the law,
but on their own strength, and nothing
Is more natural than, finding themselves
aggrieved, the workmen should appeal
TO lawless measure In their own inter-
est. The case may not be an example
Of poetic justice, but If the facts be as
stated 1t might easily be mistaken
for it,

wrath and despair in the boiling jack

spreads 1t very thin; Places he has Wis

In Is estimated that the Chicago street
car companies lost about $4,000 during
the recent strike. The strikers had the
sympathy of the public from first to
last, and the committee on arbitratian
promptly reinstated the discharged
men, but two, and said there were no
grounds for their dismissal. 1t is be-
coming the rule that in differences be-
tween corporations and employees that
arbitration will settle the questions more
promptly and satisfactorily than by any
other means. Employees have rights
at all times that should be respected.

A Fickle Lover Punished.

A novel claim jumping case is re.
ported from IIighmore, Dakota. A
young man named Irwin entered
claim next to that of young lady
named Morton. Being neighbors
they got we'll acquainted, and finally
decided to join hands aud claims.
Last October, however, the pretty
face of young lady from Wright
county, Iowa, was seen in the neigh
borhood, and in moment of forget
fulness the young man became capti-
vated Miss Morton became enraged,
mad and sighed for revenge. 1t so
happened that survey was made,
and Twins shack was found to be
located on Miss Morton's claim. She
had him elected, and a young man
whose attentions she is receiving has
squatted on the land Irwin supposed
he was locating, and swears he will
go cunning for Irwin if he comes
fooling around that neighborhood.

Raising Flax.

Flax will grow on any kind of soil
that will produce wheat, oats, barley,
corn Oh potatoes, but experience has
demonstrated that the most favor
able results from it's cultivation have
been obtained when sown on mel.
low soil-not too wet nor too sandy.
In Dakota and other western states
and territories the most satisfactory,
not to say surprising results have
been secured by sowing on newly
broken land. 1t also produces large.
ly on new timber clearings, especial
ly where the timber has been burned
off of the land wood ashes is one of
the very best fertilizers for this crop.
Experience having demonstrated that
the artificial application of ashes to
the land after flax is sown has result
ed most satisfactorily. Opinions as
we'll as experience have proven that
where the crop is grown for the seed
alone, that about three pecks to tho
acre, on average soil, is necessary.
On rich and clean soil half a bushel
is sufficient. If the crop is being
cultivated for the fiber, a much larg-
er quantity is necessary-two and
three bushels per acre. In some of
the western states, where, fortunate.
ly, the farmer is beginning to awaken
to the value of the flax straw, the
crop is raised for seed and fiber, one
b,lshel to the acre will bring good re-
suits in both seed and straw. Man

GLADSTONE GLEANINGS.

GLADSTONE ID. L. Feb. q, 1885.
The Chinook winds have at last
brought US happy release from an
unusually long, cold winter. There
are some pieces of land in this vicin-
ity that can be sown if the present
weather continues one week longer.
Our usually quiet village has been
disturbed of late by party of roughs
firing pistols and making night hid
eous with howls.
Messrs Let's and Lee have donated
the Methodist society valuable build.
ing sites for their prospective church
and parsonage in their new addition
north of the railway. The above
named gentlemen offer the best of in
ducements to people who will build
in their additions, viz: lots to actual
residents free on certain conditions.
Mr.. Lee will probably erect Gus
tom mill instead of merchant mill,
he having the foundation already
laid.
The O. U. r. Club gave phantom
party at their hall on the night of the
9th inst, which proved a success.
Our Literary Association still pros
pers and holds its weekly sessions,
which are we'll attended. One of the
most valuable and interesting feat.
ures of the meetings is the pronounc-
ing class.
Our Farmers Club is not as we'll
attended as it might be; just why, it
is hard to tell as every one pretend
ing to farm might receive some use
ful hints by comparing notes.
The wife Of Ex-editor Sheppard is
still confined to her bed.
DIR. V. II. stickney, of Dickinson,
and DR.. Kendrick, Of Bismarck, both
made professional calls in the village
the past week.
Our people have been improving the
time, since the nice weather COM
menced, getting ready for spring work
on the farms, and making social
visits.
The NJ. E. society will give con-
cert at the hotel parlors on Thursday
evening, March 5th, for the purpose
of raising funds to be applied to the
furnishing of their new church.
Work will be commenced on the
church edilice as soon as the frost is
out of the ground.

Members Arranged on the Charge Of
Bribery.
When the ''investigating" resolu.
ton was introduced by Mark Ward in
the house Tuesday it was looked upon
by many as freak of legislative tao
tics, but some very serious facts are
coming to light. The charges made
against Messrs Prentice and Wells,
of Pierre, are the fruit of we'll disci-
plned detective work; the detectives,
"Ordway Johnson of Brown county
and NJ. L. DeWoody, from Edmunds
have been ut work. The story as
told is al interesting one. 1t appears
that certain member of the council
went to Mr.. DeWoody in the house
and after urging him to enter into
the capital removal combination, in
formed him that for his vote he
would be given a $4,000 appropria-
ton and his brother could be made
railroad commissioner. 1t was
agreed that Mr. DsWoody should
have a talk with Wells. On Friday
evening Mr.. Wells called and after
addressing some remarks to Mr.. De-
Woody, drew from his pocket roll
of bills, and offered him $1,000 to
vote for the removal bill. Wells sug.
gested that the money be put in Mr..
Pickler's hands, but to this Mr.. De.
Woody objected, saying that he
wanted the collateral to go into the
hands OF Ordway johnson. which
proposition in turn Wells rejected,
asking how Pierce of Hamlin county
would do as the holder Of the money.
Before leaving Wells again flashed up
a thousand dollars as all offer for the
vote of the gentleman from Edmunds
who asked time foi consideration.

County News.-We clip the fol-
lowing from the last Charlestown
papers:
From the Democrat:
On Wednesday last, about II O'Clock,
a. M, a singular explosion occurred at
the residence Of our worthy Mayor, e.
Mason Hough. Mrs. H. was engaged
it boiling apple-butter, and in order to
steady the kettle, large iron ball was
hung upon the side, being used for a
like purpose for several years. There
in remained for three hours, while rel
atives and friends of Mrs. H. were NOV
ing about in the room, among them her
mother, Mrs. John Avis, Mrs. Thomas
Cockrell, Mrs. Wilmington and several
small children, unconscious of impend-
ing danger. Just at this moment, the
supposed harmless iron ball, thoroughly
heated, exploded with a terrific report,
the fragments flying in every direction.
Strange as it may appear, none OF the
occupants of the room were injured, al
though corner Of the chair upon which
Mrs. Avis was sitting was torn away.
The moral is, be careful as to the char
acter of balls you place near the fire
the cause of this narrow escape proved
to be II pound shell.

pointed agent of the b. q y. X. Il. az
