excellent journals-and jamestown also has
Capital, a Democratic daily udder the admin
istration of Judge VarnOch, one of the Oldest
and ablest news paper men in the West. The

Rain-in-the-Face, the Sioux Indian, who
has the equation of having killed Gen. Gus
ter, has applied to the authorities at Wash
ingtOn for permission to attend the school at
Hampton, Va, but the department hesitates
for some reason to grant his request. He

and would endanger no scalps in Virginia.

bright and Intelligent, and there seems no
good reason why he should not be allowed to
get all the education he can.
The coming legislature will be strongly
urged to extend the time when taxes become

years taxes, and there is little doubt that
similar action will be had at the coming
session.

10 Indiana. They had visited the territory
and were active friends of its interests. But

considerable Investments in the Pierre re-
gton. ana Hill is quite an enthusiast over the
advantages offered in the territory.
The Troy Bros, of the Wahpeton Clone
who are trying the experiment of running
first-class local paper on the basis of oushel
of wheat for years subscription, have filed
granaries and warehouses, but have not
reached the crisis of their romantic expert

The Milwaukee road will soon complete its
second line of communication between the

faithful service in the NJ. E. ministry. and

A big lawsuit will result from the sharp
scheme Of voting the county seat of Eddy
away from New Rockford, Mark Dunnelrs
town, but as the election was regular and
the voting according to law. it is not likely

able prize. 1t is a serious blow to Dunnells
town.
