A SOCIAL SENSATION.

She RepOsed Too Much Con-
fidence in the Young Man.
Special to the Globe.
CoOPERsTOwN, March 16.-In a JUS
tees court social sensation has held
the boards here for a week. being rich
and racy seduction lease. The principals
to the affair, John E. Rustad and Lena
Moen, are well-known here. The one is
described as blue-eyed, authenticated,
long young fellow of Twenty-Five; the
other a buXOm maid of twenty-five. The
two were engaged, but the marriage
was cOnsummated de facto before de
lure; in other words, the young couple
that was to be ''repOsed"-as the lady
modestly put Together before the
minister was called. The 18th of
December was to have been
their wedding day, but John pondered
the matter. concluded Lena was not the
girl he wanted for wife, and left sud-
denly to look after some pressing bust
ness matters in Wisconsin. Young Lo-
thariO was brought back by Sheriff
Michaels. He tried to settle the matter
with his erstwhile love, and offered 500
in lieu of marriage. This proposition
was rejected and the seduction suit fol-
lowed. The testimony was rich in the
extreme. The defense proved, by the
testimony of several of the frolicsOme
young villagers, based upon their per-
sOnal knowledge, that the aforesaid
Lena has a character conspicuous for
''repOse," and the prisoner was dis
charged,

There is room enough in the present
limits of the territory for four states as
large as Indiana, which is very respect
able in size. and have good cattle past
ure left. 1t there are to be two DakO-
taS other considerations than mere SINH
larity in acreage should be infiuen-
tial in establishing their geography.
The counties near and on both sides
of the forty-sixth parallel have with
great unanimity declared against any
division. If forced to accept position
upon the border of state, they will I'M
doubtedly have choice between the two.
and there does not seem to be any good
reason why they should not be allowed
to elect with which they will co.. They
voted pretty solidly with the North on
the division issue, and possibly this af-
fords grounds for the presumption that
not only those on the north side OF the
line, but the tier Immediately south,
may have preference for that section.
1t is not insisted that this will prove to
be the fact in each instance, but there
are indications that some of them will
have decided bias if compelled to
choice. A writer in the Aberdeen Re-
publican, who may or may not speak
the voice of the great county OF Brown,
expresses himself in this way:
We prefer to cast our fortunes with North
Dakota. because her representatives are the
brainy and progressive element of the popu-
lation. Further, they have never misrepre-
sented us and tried to disparage Central Da-
kota to eXalt their portion of the territory:
Our Northern brethren are too broad minded
and liberal for such petty devices.
Objection to the spirit of this writer
may reasonably be felt in the South.
and demurrer entered to the allegations,
but the strength of the anti-division
sentiment in that country may naturally
lead to desire for utilization with the
North. 1t is not, however, matter OF
present moment as to Preferences
tins does not affect the matter OF right
to a choice. 1t would not do, of course,
to carry this point too far. Reference
must be had to contiguity, convenience
or geographical formation, but so far as
the counties are concerned that border
on the 46th parallel, there is no appar-
ent reason why they should not be al
lowed to determine with which state
they will cast their lot, should division
take place.

He Was Offered the Judgeship
But Declined-A Good Man for
the Place.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, March 16.-The APP
pointment of William E. Purcell to be
United States attorney for Dakota was
no surprise to his friends in Dakota Or
elsewhere. The fact is not generally
known, but it is fact, that he was
offered the judgeship to which Garland
was appointed. President Cleveland
| rendered him the position when he was
here, but he declined it. He Is q young
man yet, and has a practice which is
worth mere than the position OF asso-
ciate justice; besides, he preferred to
continue his practice. The position to
which he has been appointed and which
he will accept will enable him to retain
good income and continue practice
before the bar. Like Engel, of Aber-
deem, in one particular, he is bald
headed young man, almost venerable.
There is no more popular man in the
territory than Purcell, and none more
able in his profession. During his visit
to this city in the interest of admission
ment before the senate committee on
territories. and also spoke several times
before the house committee in reply to
int rfOgatories. His answer to the ia l.
laciOuS and
BUL.-DoZING SPEECH OF CLIFFORD,
was powerful, convincing, self-cOn-
tanned, dignified effort which would
have done credit to Trip or Davis.
He is not prOhibitionlst, nor temper
ance fanatic, but temperate man. He
seldom touches strong intOXicantS, and
never INDUCES in them to excess. Dur
ing his stay here of at least two months,
he was always the same dignified,
courteous gentleman. His appointment
evokes favorable comment from all who
know him, and the proper and success
full administration of his Office may be
considered as assured i'm advance. No
better man could have been selected for
the place. He is friendly to Church,
but none the less friendly to Day. In
fact, he has not, and will not have, en-
emies. Before leaving the city, Secre-
tary Mccormack said: .What kind of
an attorney would Purcell make for the
territOry?" And he indicated by one of
his expressive smiles that he was in
favor of that appointment. Indeed, it
is an accepted fact that both Day and
Mccormack personally recommended
Purcell to the president for the position
to which he is appointed. Gov. Church
also sent written Endorsement.

POLITICS IN THE TERRITORY

Increase of Harmony Among the
Democratic Leaders---The New
Railroad Coming.
Special to the Globe
STEELE, OAK, March 16.-Even in
quiet old Kidder county the coming
Democratic and Republican delegate
conventions are beginning to create
Juror, and expressions are pronounced
on all sides. In a Democratic way Gov.
Church and the national administration
will without question be Endorsed. For
delegate there are few expressions, all
though we want a hustler and then if
Clifford should again be a candidate sue
cess is certain. The people generally
consider Clifford simply o figure-head,
and utterly unable to do us any good.
Cow Church has made long and rapid
strides toward harmony In his party in
the past month Mccormack, Day, Will
son, etc, are all good men, and the peo-
pie of Dakota are staying with them,
but we can't believe they will join to-
gether to do up the governor when they
gain nothing il they win. We don't be-
lieve, with Denny Hanitin, that we

a big hearted, honest man, than in the
reinstatement of Col. Webb, of Penn
bina. He did not have to do it, but
found upon investigation that he had
done wrong, and then showed his man
hood by calling on the colonel person
ally, and using every effort to square an
impulsive act.
Over in our sister county, Stutsman,
there will be fun. The Capital is ''agin"
the present administration, but the
young me, worthy Democrats the
politics of Jamestown, and Col. Klaus
takes prominent part and the boys
usually win, and we hope they will this
time, as this continual kicking by the
Capital is getting to be stale. 1t simply
kicks from force of habit.
+ The people of Steele are anxiously
awaiting the opening Of spring, and to
see work on the Aberdeen, Bismarck &
Northwestern railroad begin. This is
.to,be the main line, and we understand
that force of men will be put Oh as
soon as the weather permits. :.

AT er nearly two years of vigorous
kicking and almost ince ssa1t grum-
bling by the patrons of the Western
Union Telegraph company, because OF
the. insufficient wire service bet ween
Huron and st. Paul, the company has
decided to give us another wire. Albert
Booth, the gentleman ly manager of the
Office here (and who, by the way, is one
of the most patient and Accommodate ing
operators that ever touched key, is in
receipt of a letter from Superintendent
McMichaei, of Minneapolis, saying that
arrangements have been made for a
second wire from Aberdeen to Huron,
third wire from Tracy to Huron, and
a new wire from MankatO to st. Paul,
thus giving Huron two wires to
st. Paul via Mankato and Kasota, one
for through business (Which can be du-
picked if necessary and another for
way business. 1t is the intention to
cut the present wire-St. Paul to Tracy,
via Winona-at Mankato, using that
part of it between MankatO as part of
the second Huron wire. The company
propose to have the new wire ready for
use in time for the spring business.
Huron is one of the most important tele-
graph towns in the Northwest. Being
the news center for South and central
Dakota, the place of holding the major
ity of political and other conventions.

lutely impossible at times to do the tele-
graph business with the meager facili-
ties with which it is now supplied.

A GRAVE MISTAKE.

1t is surprising that gentlemen who
ought to be so well informed as the ma
jority of the house committee that re-
ported in favor of the omnibus bill,
should say of Dakota that ''the climate
in the northern portion of the territory
and the character of the lands west of
the Missouri river are such as to pre-
clude the possibility of dense popula-
tion." The information possessed by
these gentlemen saVOrs strongly of the
declaration of Gen. HAZEN, some years
ago, that the whole North Dakota coun-
try was uninhabitable. The committee
is hardly more accurate than was the
general. If the civil service eXamina-
tons comprise even. very superficial
knowledge of geographical and climatic
facts pertaining to the West, it is proba-
bly, fortunate for these law trainers
that congressman are not sub
jected to that ordeal. AS strongly as the
North has shown by its vote that it
favorS admission as whole, none of it's
citizens have ever thought of the use of
this argument in supporter that project.
North Dakota has, the past winter, at
no time, even on the northern border,
had as low temperature as has been re-
ported in Wisconsin and New England;
and these learned statesmen have not
learned that the climate in those states
is a bar to their becoming thickly popu
lated. There is nothing in the climate
of Dakota to prevent dense popula-
ton. There are so-called bad lands
west of the Missouri river, and in early
American biographies it will be found
that the Great American desert
took in all of Dakota The un-
tillable land in that section will
shrink to unimportant proportions
as the tide of emigration overf1ows
the river and sweeps on toward the
mountains. There will be found
smaller proportion of waste land there
than in many of the Eastern states.
There are strong and pertinent argu-
ments in favor of the retention of the
present area of the territory in the linn
its of the new state, but the suggestion
of the committee does not come in that
category, nor is it creditable to the fair
ness and intelligence of the distin-
guiShed gentleman who put it forth.
