Some Of Those ommltted. from the
Argus "for Cause"
From England, merrie England,
From Norways hardy CLINE,
From Scotia's braes and Erin's isle,
To the land of peace aud plenty,
To the land of the Dakotahs.
From Ia belle France und vaterland.
From meath Italy's sunny skies,
And from Russias rugged realms,
To the land Of handsome women,
To the land Of the Dakotahs,
Still they come.
From New Ensland's rockbound coast,
From the Pennsylvania state-the Keystone,
Lo! the Badgers, Hoosers, Suckers,
And the Buckeyes and the HacEeyes,
To the empire Of the Northwest,
To the empire state that will be,
To the land of the Dakotahs
Still they come, still they come.

or whether because it misunderstood
the meaning and application of the in

Calamity riding the same fiery stccd
which lie rode at Fargo during the en-
campment, closing up the. rear of the
second division Of this never to be for

knight of the pen, q youth to fortune
