Dcapon Dan as a CIassleader,


From the Bismarck Tribune we take
the following account Of the Thanksgiv.
ing dinner at the penitentiary: The Rec.
ORD is glad to learn that transplanting
from his peaceful rural life at Williams.
port to the glitter and glare of the gay
capital of all Dakota has not weaned
"our Dan" from the soothing and soft.
ening influences of said rural life. and
that he is still an earnest worker in the
vineyard through which passes the
Straight and narrow turnpike. But to
the account:
One of the most interesting ceremonies 8
was at the penitentiary, where the re-
pentant and submissive convicts gathered
about the altar Uf worship and added
their voices to the general song of hu.
manitys thanksgiving. Warden Will,
Jams was master. Of ceremonies. Tie
prison tables were neatly arranged for
the occasion, and, as the cleanly Inmates
Of the prison bowed in humble gratitude
during the eloquent prayer of the war;

ing, Having demolished the turkey and
done full justice. to the excellent dinner
which had been: artistieally prepared by
convict hands, the" prisoners arose and,
under the leadership. of Musical Director
Williams, Sang Nearer, My Cod, to
Thee" A pleasant, surprise to the Wis:
ltors was the splendid harmony With
which the grand old hymn was rendered.
The voices of many of the prisoners are
rich, deep and we'll cultivated, and, with.
a keen conception of, the spirit and senti-
mentof the hymn, the singing was de-
lightful treat.

A SOUTH DAKOTA canvassing board

man who received the lesser number of
votes, because the ballots cast for his

she had been told what to swear to, and
Lilly said she had forgotten whether any
one ,:had told her what to say or not.
Lilly crossed herself twice at least. and
'swore positively different to what another
witness for the prosecution did. Mr..
Cronk swore that be had known Of the

1.-THE Printers Friend .,

DEVILS Lake Inter Ocean About five
weeks since HIP. Hall, St. Paul "patsnt-
inside. printer, sent a handful of type
and a Proken-backed press to DEVILS
Lake for the purpose of publishing
paper IN which to advertise certain mort
gage foreclosures. The first issue of the
paper contained eight or ten foreclosures,
printed from plates prepared in st. Paul.
One of the nortgagors whose land is to
be foreclosed by the Hall patent pro-
cess has asked for and obtained. amin:
junction out Of Judge ;McC Connelps court
against the sale taking. place, on the
ground, first, that the required publica-
ton has not been made in a newspaper,
but in a hand-bill or circular having no
circulation ; and; second, that the attor--
neys whose names appear at the Bottom
6fthe "patent- foreclosure" plates are not
attorneys of record for Dakota as the
law requires they should be.
THUS has the scheme of Mr.. Hall, the
alleged "printer's friend, to take i1npor.
tant.and valuable advertising away from
the local printers and the home newspa-
pcrs been nipped in the bud. Halls

full in Ransom county, would soon take
root. and grow up like mushroom all
over. Dakota. Boys, lets pass Hall
