time the post of a coachman for wealthy and
aristocratic family. A beautiful daughter of
the proud merchant became infatuated with

to build them home. Ihe
heartless fellow left his beautiful, loving
bride few hours after the wedding cere-

turs as TO the cause of his cold-6looded and
heartless course in taking the charming girl
from her luxurious home and lmmedlaCeiy
deserting her so cruelty. The faithful maiden
wife still loves him, and has not sought a
divorce.
The Milwaukee railroad, in pushing west in
Dickey county, found il convenient to leave
the bright little village of Keystone, with It's
church, printing house, saloons and other
evidences of advanced civilization, few
miles TO one side, and establish new town,
which has been named Monauyo. 1t donated
to all the business men OF Keystone lots If they
would come to the new town. Consequently the
past few weeks there has been seen the novel
sight of a town on wheels moving over the
prairie to the new site. The newspaper ana
saloons led the van and the others are folioW-
ing, bank, commodious hotel and several
bu siness houses are already IN operation in
the new town. and IL promises to nave
rapid but healthy growth, as it will be the
mart for a scope of well settled farming
country.

nounced the death of Rev w. H. Hoadley at
Huron, man widely known and OF especial
note in the temperance work. He had been
quite feeble for some time, and few even

headed cane Elder E. T. Cressey, the re-
formed politician and editor, made the present
alton speech, which was marked with pathos
and feeling allusions to the failing health of
the venerable recipient. The latter re-
sponded in a manner that brought tears to
the eyes Of his hearers. He said that his life 5

John Anderson-uot "My Jo'-and his
wife, a buxom young lady, worked during the
season for Farmer Charley Beers. in Nelson
county, who was leading church member
A nderson was sent to town very often and
had to remain away over night. Coming
home Unexpectedly one time, he discovered
signs OF too great frequency between Beers
and his wife, but they were shocked at his
SuSplcione. Last week on conn ng home he
found Beers and his wife had gone. Beers
had sold all his property, most of which was
mortgaged, left many bills unpaid and even
left Anderson in the Iurch for the entire sea-
sons work. Anderson thinks the latter is
meaner than stealing his wife.
Two years ago Custer county lacked but
one vote of giving the Democratic candidate
for delegate as many votes as Clifford, and
was the nearest Democratic of any county in
the territory. This year. for some reason, it
has gone strongly Republican on the general
ticket, although electing some Democrats to
the county offices. Some of Sparks rulings
were specially dsliked in that section, and
he was saddled on the Democratic ticket by
the Republicans The FIVE Black Hills coun-
ties should give thousand Democratlc ma
jority instead of as many Republican.
1t was rough joke played on Hon. VI. Fl.
Dunnell and the other property owners of the
town of New Rockford, in so quietly voting
away from it the county seat of Eddy, while
Dunnel was looking after Minnesota politics,
and none suspecting the danger. They did
rot dream that the people would vote it to a
townsite distant from railroad. but they did.
TO place like New Rockford the loss of the
county seat is serious matter, and will
prove very damaging.
La Moure county promises to have q pro-
tracted legal ontest over the removal of the
county seat. 1t has been at Grand Rapids
but at the late election the town of La
Moure secured about 100 majority. The
Grand Rapids people at once employed Fargo
Rttorne. and took steps TO secure an in
junction against the removal. They claim
that La Moure imported $50 voters from
other counties. The fight is, as usual in
such cases. very bitter.
AS an incident connected with the narra-
tive of the Milwaukee girl who eoped with
her fathers coachman and was herself de-
serted as soon as the ceremony was over, it
may be mentioned that the uncle, Buckley
who came to Dakota to follow a supposed
trail of the absconding husband the past
week. fell down stairway and died in conse-
quence. He had not succeeded in finding the
man Giesen who deserted his wife.
While Chris Chrstianson, a farmer near
Toronto in Deuel. county. was driving home
from town lately, big eagle nine feet from

tempted to get away with him, but made a

get the lines about the bird, and captured
him alive. He will sell him to swell the
fund he is raising to bring his family over
from Norway.
This seems to be the season of the year
when men secure travelling outfits by selling
mortgaged property. Peter Hailand, in Nei-
son county. is one of this class for whom
officers are looking. He sold a lot of mort
gagged stock to several different parties. even
victmizing his own mother, and he is no
more to be found in Dakota. His address is
believed to be in Canada.
The great issue in Ransom county and that
legislative district was between the Butte
and Oliver factions. Maj. Buttz was candi-
date for attorney and Col. Oliver for the leg
islature. Each succeeded in beating the
other, and are moderately happy over the re-
suit. They split the Republican party in
Ransom and have two sets of committees so
that the fight will probably go on.
Dakotas funny man, Fred Carruth,
formerly of the Estellne Bell, has been for
some weeks on a hunting expedition in the

paper work.
An irregular Salvation band Of eight or ten
men and women have established headQuar-
tiers at jamestown, which they seem to regard

! Fargo and other places, where reformatory
work is specially needed.
