been taken by Hon. q. j. Kissner, who

Many of the friends of Gov. Ziebach are
surprised at the report given by the GLOBE
that his hair has turned jet black since his
visit to Washington. 1t has been very
gray for years. They suspect that it is the
effect of the sea breeZeS
1t is related with some pride by the
friends of j. ID. Pratt, the new postmaster
at Ipswich, that his appointment is due to
the personal friendship of the sister of the
president. She asked to be allowed to
select one postmaster in Dakota, and named
her early friend and admirer, John Pratt.

II. c. Brown, the travelling printer, who
was run over and killed near jamestown

utable connections at his home at ROch

field.
The Daughters of the Prairie" an Or
ganization OF bright young ladies at Dick
inson, out in the Bad Lands region, will

Democrats insist that they must be remem-
bered. They had hoped to have Hon. J.
r. Wilson for governor, but as he refused
to be candidate, they would like to have
him appointed attorney general.
The leading loan firm at Yankton has re-
fused to loan any more money on land for
which patent has not issued, owing to the
recent order Of the land department sus-
pending the issuing OF patents indefinitely
Very strong pressure will be brought to bear
to secure the resembling of this order 1t is
designed to prevent fraudulent proof, but
will work much injury to the country.
A dudish young man direct from London,
not familiar with frontier bull-whacking,
lately took claim in Griggs county, and
the local paper, the Courier, quotes him in

lumber, dressed in cordurOys helmet hat
and eight bottles of 'alf and 'alf; and this
was the way he talked to his cattle: go

The committee appointed by the presby-
terry of that section to locate a college of
the denomination for Central Dakota have
cd tha bids onH aoao1taH that nf Gro
ton. The place is to donate forty acres of
desirable land, with the church building

Young people who think these is for
tune in teaching country schools in Dakota
have not had much experience. The schools
are generally small in summer and in most
of the northern counties the usual pay is
from $50 to $50, about $40 of which is
often required for board. Some counties
pay more liberal figures but the reports of
superintendents show these as the most
frequent.
Quite number of parties have aban-
doned their claims and left the reservations
since the proclamation of the president.
The great majority of them will no doubt
remain and fight the matter out, but others
don't care to run the risk of losing their
time and money put in Improvements.
There is, however, very strong expectation
that the report of Attorney General Rice
will induce the president to let the matter
rest until congress can act.
Much sympathy is felt for Michael Cur
ran, member of the post of G. A. r. at
Kimball, who has been living ON claim in
Buffalo county with his family. He became
demented just before he had intended to
prove up, and was taken to the asylum at

the county, and it was necessary to send to
another county for one. This indicates a
healthy climate.

tiveS of some of the largest loan companies
from over the water, after viewing the Red
river valley, visited the lower James and
Sioux valleys. In these they expressed
surprise to find fine timothy meadows, and
gathered nice samples of corn and potatoes.

would eventually lead to their expectation.
In Sphinx county they took copious notes to
present to the money loaners of the old
regions
The case reported in Hanson county
some time since in which the preacher was
charged by the doctor with having forced
HIM to sign two 500 notes in view of a pis-
tOl. turned out pretty much of farce.
The doctor, who had been annoying lady
friend of the preacher with his attentions
was SO nervous at the situation that he did
not get the true gist of the notes he signed,
which are said to have read, zone day
after date promise to pay 100 times more
attention to my wife than do to any other
lady"
