Over the Lachine Rapids.

Montreal Dlspatch.1
The St. Lawrence river in tho vicinity
Of Lachine, a fashionable suburb Of Nom
treal, was on Friday night the scene of a
thrilling yachting adventure, marked by
great heroism and presence of mind on
the part of a Montreal girl. The details
reached here yesterday and awakened
great interest and admiration. George A.
Greene, of the firm of Greene Sg Sons, re-
sides during the summer months at Dor
val, country place on the st. Lawrence,
about fourteen miles from Montreal. He
owns a fine steam yacht in which he has
been cruising about the Thousand Islands
for two weeks. Mr.. Greene, accompanied
by his daughter left Brockville on Thurs-
day evening on board the yacht, and gave
directions to the engineer, the only other
person on board, to make for Lachine,
where they intended 10 attend the annual
regatta Of Canadian amateur oRrsmeu.
The trip was an uneventful one until late
In the night, when the party seemed 70
have lost their bearings, and narrowly
escaped running over he Lachine rapids.
Before they knew where they were they
had passed Lachine and were running
with full head of steam direct on the rap
ids. At about midnight they were startled
by the craft coming into collision with one
or the scoWB USED IN the construction OF
the St. Lawrence bridge, now being erect
ed for the Canadian Pacific railway over
the river. From the scow the yacht sheered
against one Of the piers, lEeeled over and
sank. The three occupants Of the boat
were left struggling ia the fierce current
which runs past the bridge into the rapids.
The engineer struck out for one of the
piers and was saved by the men at work.
Miss Greene, who is a strong swimmer,
diVested herself of the life preserver she
had on and, knowing her father TO be a
poor swimmer, handed &c to him. She
then struck out for the shore. She had not
gone far when she heard her father call
for assistance. The brave girl then re-
turned 20 her father, swan by his side and
bore him up. By this time tho
swift current had carried them far down
the river in dangerous proxi nifty to
the rapids. Fortunately the men engaged
on the works had become aware 81 the ac-
ctdent. a boat attached TO ono Of the
piers was manned, and after q hard row
Miss Greene and her father were picked

Word has come to town from va
rious scources that this man House,
who pretends to be superintendent
of schools, was about the North end
Of the county recently telling that
DR.. Swaine had Withdrawn from

Chickens and Bloodcd Stocl

We were in the country early this
week in company with W. II. Har-
ker Smoothing and enjoyed good
dinner with our friends Mr.. and
Mrs. A. +. Carey, some eight miles
southwest of Wyndmere. Mr.. Carey
is in a magnificent section of coun-
try and has Il superb farm. He
showed us his start in blooded stock,
half dozen fine Durham COWS and
a bull, having nothing scrubby on
the place and explained to us that
the day for the production of scrub
stock is just about passed, and that
very soon a farmer worthy Of the
name at all would be ashamed to
have a poor article in stock. 1t
costs no more to raise good animal
than Il poor one, and when the day
of sale arrives the benefit is vastly
on the side of the farmer. And of
course Mr.. Carey is right. By-the-
way, there is a surprisingly good
section of country south and west
of Wyndmere in this county. Mr..
II. M. Barnes, brother of Rev. G. B.
has just a magnificent farm; VIM.
Orr's farm of 1900 acres is a beauty,
and there are dozens of others which
afford a person great satisfaction to
look at: We presume the Taylor's
Lake section and further on into
Peter Kleppel's section one would

The New Clerk.

Captain j. w. Cope recently of
Fort Wayne, Indiana, has been ap-
pointed clerk of the district court
for Richland county. by Judge Nc
Connell, and the captain has as
sumed the duties of the office. It is
generally considered unfortunate
that the citizens here, the bar
especially, could not have united on
some deserving home democrat; but
the various candidates had their
friends and we do not know as
Judge Mcconnell is so much to
blame, il indeed an outsider can be
appointed, according to law, which
is questioned by some men. And it
is equally urged that the judge
sought to consult no one here and
that no amount of unity would have
changed the matter. This however,
we cannot accept as Il probable fact.
We think solid unity would have
changed the matter IN favor Of Il
home democrat, but this was not
and perhaps could not have been Sc
cured. 1t was hard to get tho vari-
GUS candidates each to think, indi-
vidually, he did not have the inside
track. And this spirit in matters
of this character is just what defeats
Dakota citizens right along; and
we sec no help for it until tie terri
tory is Il state. Captain Cope ap-
pears to be very much of gentleman
and we think will in time make u
good Dakota citizen-in fact he
seems to be falling into the i-dce
very readily. He is u widower but
will bring his two daughters to
Wahpeton very soon and make this
his home. The captain is we'll
pleased with this city, much better
than he expected.

"A letter from the manager of the
Grand Forks base ball club states
they will be here next Monday and
play the Fargo club: Teusday at
Wahpeton: Wednesday Fergus
Falls. and Thursday Fargo again.
AN interesting series of games may
be expected Argus 31st ult:
We understand that the Grand
Forks nine is first class rine,
which is a good guarantee that. the
game here Tuesday of next week
will be most interesting one.
The regular quarterly county
commissioners meeting occurs the
9th inst, and among the duties of
the board will be the levying of the
tax for the ensuring year, which it
is thought will not exceed ten mills
including the territorial tax, or
about eight mills of county tax.
This is three mills less than last
year. Auditor Sunderland has been
instructed that the territorial tax
for the ensuring year will he: gen.
eral revenue one and seven tenths
of a mill; bond interest three tenths
of mill, making tax of two mills,
as above stated. And in this con-
nection we will say that this is four
tenths of a mill less than the aver
age county levy for the territory,
owing to the fact that the county
was assessed at high rate.
The difficulty at the crossing of
the Manitoba over the Minneapolis
& Pacific, near Taylor's Lake, this
county has been settled, by the court
ordering the Manitoba to make
proper crossing. Mr.. Hill seems to
have shown a species of meanness
in this matter unbecoming him. We
know that for certainty the farm
ers along the line of these parallel
roads are much more friendly to the
Minneapolis & Pacific than to the
Manitoba, just on account of this
action to delay the good work. Peo-
pie out there to a man argue that
Mr.. Hill would not have built in
there at all had it not been for the
other road going in. However, if
Mr.. Hill goes on and hauls their
wheat out cheap, very cheap, for in
stance, he may win the good offices
of the people there The dance will
now proceed.
J. M. Steele who resides at Wah-
peton portion of the time at least,
and farmes his land and that of G..
N. Wood in Sargent county, met
with quite loss the other day from
fire while tllreshing from the shock.
The threshers had gone in to dinner,
nearly mile away, and although a
man had been left with the machine
to avoid fire, the crew had scarcely
sat down. to dinner when the whole
place about the machine seemed on
fire, and everything was consumed,
except the engine which was slight
ly damaged, and from this the fire
spread to the grain field, destroying
between two and three hundred
shocks of wheat. The day was very
windy. The machine belonged to
George Hits and was insured
in the Northwestern Mutual of this
city, having been run but q few
days this season. MI. Hits went
to Fargo at once and purchased
another machine and was soon on
the ground again at work. Over in
Minnesota South of Moorhead, Ed.
Crawford and VIM. Bradley lost
their machine from fire last week.
And Chas. Males makes the third
one thus far rep orted lost from fire
in this section of country.
