some Dakota young man who wanted wife.
She proved a very lively and engaging corres-
pondent, and as a sequence she reached Fargo
the past week as the wife OF a prosperous
industrious young MANA first-class hus-
band-and she seemed delighted at finding a
good nome and husband in Dakota. There
are instances known that have not resulted
SO auspiciously. and lives have been wrecked
by being caught in the coils of heartlcss
VILLAINS of which there is an occasional speci-
men even in Dakota. If matrimony is u lot
terry, IL is not certain that Eastern girls will
draw more blanks is this way than the more
common method OF entering the dual rela-
tiun.
Dakota for the story sent out from Chicago
that Dakota schoolma am. young and pretty,
as they generally ure, WAS SO silly as To go to
Chicago to pick up an unknown dude for n
husband, on the strength of his advertisement

verdancy could he too strong, unless an in
sane asylum had lost an inmate. ANY reason

kota, especially IL she is holding down n good
claim. Still there are girls in Dakota who
have exaggerated notions rs to the demand
for wives and are disappointed i'm not seeing
young men come hOcking i'm squads and
crowds competing for their fair hands. Those
who are willing to be farmers wives need not
often wait long for situations but those only

Some OF those specially interested i'm the
opening of the Sioux reservation intimate
that Senator Dawes is acting i'm bad faith with
them i'm retaining in his bill the provision re-
curing the signatures of three-fourths of all
the adult male indians To give il force. That,
they insist is an impossible task and viii
render the bill OF no value. Mr.. Dawes, they
say, promised TO expunge this clause but has
not done SO. 1t is evidently only question
of time when the red men viii be forced TO
crowd up into more moderate limits. and get
out of the way of the white man, whatever
the stipulations of treaties of twenty years
ago. They are i'm the line of civilization and
must move on.
The Black Hills papers are trying to account
for the shortness in the estate of the late
Hon. John B. Raymond, whose death is so
greatly regretted, 10y the statement that he
used money lavishly and unwiseiy I'm politics.
As an illustration they say he gave a worth
less fellow named 'SawlOg' Hall at Dead
wood $500. which the fellow blew in at bulge
and faro i'm twenty-four hours, and only in
jured Mr.. X. They say the leeches and
sharks ar Deadwood bled him nearly $4,000 in
one campaign. There is probably some eX-
aggeration in this, although he was always
noted for hberality and carelessness in money
matters.
The Bangor Rustler is one Of the best edited
papers of the South and the only one at the
county seat OF Walworth. In regard TO the
clamor of a st. Paul paper and others for
division and admission OF the South il says:
'All that may do very well to tickle the ears
of the few disappointed and cisgruntled poll
dcians and capital boomers, who failed TO ac-
compish their purposes, but the Democratic
party leaders have very little horse sense IL it
disturbs them" 1t also adds that any South
Dakota politician who has not given up all
hopes OF securing the passage through con-
gress of the division and admission scheme
has more hope than Judgment.
While many of the larger farmers will put
in more of other crops and less wheat, the
present indications are that the new turner's
and new land will more than keep up the
figures. The season so far is unusually fav-
orable for early seeding, and without some
disaster to the CROP il may be taken as a
certainty that there will be larger surplus
of No. hard wheat for shipment next fall
than in any former year. There will also be
vastly more oats, barley. rye and feed for
stock. There will be little occasion to i'm
port products of farm or garden INTO any part
OF DAKOTA hereafter, and shipments of stock
will not longobe confined to the West or the
extreme South of Dakota.
Col. o. NJ. Towner is perhaps the best known
of the pioneers and extensive farmers and cat
tlemen west of Devils Lake. A local paper
relates that while running for the legislature
he came to large Scandinavian settlement
where he was not known. He induced a
prominent resident to take him about and.in-
troduce him as Ole NJ. Townerson. and. rs n
result, secured every vote and was elected
Ole Is more common name among that ma
tivity than Patrick is with Frenchmen.
If, as reported Rev. w. c. Ackerman. tho
young clergyman in Douglass county who
mysteriously disappeared last month"; went to
New York city and attempted to commit sui
eide by taking laudanum, it is believed that
he was partially demented. A rational man
could have found ample opportunities 10 dis

A long-contested claim case, involving
something of a change from the Old practices
was lately decided by the secretary of the in
terror. An Iowa man filed on choice claim
put tenant on il to cultivate il and spent
some of his own time there, but left his fam
lily III Iowa. The contest was decided against
him. Persons hereafter cannot hope to Sc
cure Claims by proxy or imaginary residence.
Although Grand View in Douglas county.
misses the line of the Milwaukee extension 10y
some four or five miles, and a new railroad
town will leave it a deserted village the local
paper finds comfort in the fact that il will set
tie for good the long time and ill-tempered
fractional fight between the "up hill'' and
''down town" parts of the place, probably
leaving none there 10 carry on the wrangle.
Col. A. B. Funnerhide, who lately removed
from Mower county, Minnesota, to Towner
county, with fine stock, expresses the COM
mon view of newcomers that that country is
far more beautiful than they had imagined,
and Mr.. f. is surprised at the nutritious quail
ity of the native grasses and the ease and
cheapness with which stock can be carried
through the long winters.
The stenographer in Judge Church's court
says that in four months under the new Dem
ocratic judge he has done one-third more
work than in his year and half under Judge
Smith. The latter is in the asylum at Mt.
Pleasant, Ia, and it is feared hopelessly in
sane. None now question the wisdom of his
removal, as he gave evidence of mental I'M
soundness before he left the bench.
The artesian well at Glendale stopped at
LOST feet with an abundant supply OF water
and pressure of III pounds 10 the square
inch. Mains and hose will be had FOR fire pur-
poses and it is proposed to now secure n park
with artificial lakes and all the attractions de-
sired for the city of the future. The estimated
flow is 500 gallons minute.
Pierre recently had an official inspection
and somewhat of a jubilee over its yynter-
works. The elevator, which is high enough
to throw water over all the buildings in the
city, contains LOCO, 900 gallons of water: there
are nearly five miles OF main and forty-five
hydrants- But officials generally think Mis-
souri, river water needs diluting for drinking
purposes.
A man who runs ferry at Pierre lately at

crossing the river. They took a different and
cheaper route to escape the extortion. The
present rate is 81, and travellers to the Black
Hills still very largely take that route, rs the
old stage stations are still in operation along
the road.
The local papers claim that fewer mort
cages have been foreclosed in McCook county
the past year than in any other county of its
population in the South. The growing pros
perity Of that section is shown i'm the almost
entire disuse of the primitive shacks and the
erection of farm buildings that would do
credit to Iowa or Minnesota
