The Farmers alliance met the same

up platform, and a committee of nine
were appointed to meet and confer with
the ProhibitioniStS. These two COM
mittees met and prepared joint report,

LANGFoRD, Dak., Aug. 1O.-The at
tendance at the recent races was be-
yOnd the most sanguine expectations,
and from early morning until noon bug
gies and farm wagons kept pouring in
from every direction. About seventy
five Indians, sQuawS and papooSes came
the day before from the SiSSeton reSerya-
ton. They recently discovered that
Langford is good market for cord
wood and that they can trade here
to a better advantage, consequently
they have been rushing down here.
Quite number of the young squaws
were neatly clad, had their hair banged
and wore bonnets, while all of the In
dianS, with one or two exceptions. were
we'll dressed. In the free-for-alI race
Wild Bill, of Britton. took first money
and Pontiac, owned by DIR. J. II. Smith,
of Groton, took second. Half-mile heats,
best two out of three. Time, 541l and
54A seconds. In the free-for-all trot
Gamadie's Dolly took two straight
mile heats, trotting against Broncho
John. Time, 2:53 and 2:54. Dolly was
raised by Mr.. Gamadie near ST. Paul,
but has only trotted three races and has
lowered ner time eacn race. In the
pony race Princess took first money,
Crazy Ned second. There were six
Indians mounted On their ponies, all
fixed up in fantastic style, who ran for
purse of $40. Little ST. Paul, a dark
bay, took first money. A race was fixed
up between two ponies that had lost in
the pony races, and the owners coaxed
the police Indian owner of Little st.
Paul to come in, no doubt anticipating
some fun and leaving Little st. Paul
behind.

LIMIT THEIR RATIoNs.

Among the minor reformatory mat
terS to be urged into enactments by the
next legislature is one to reduce the per
diem of county commissioners from So
to S., and limit the number of days they
shall remain in session. 1t is the preva-
lent theory that the present per diem

penSe. In some of the larger counties

two month. In the meetings of the

relations to profitable mileage, not di-
minished by lack of railroad courtesies.

When quite young his parents removed

when he entered the teachers pro-

for six years. In 1874 he married
and engaged in the hardware and i'm
plement business in Kenney, where he
continued until 1882. Having heard
glowing accounts of the Red river val
ley and Grand Forks, he came here on a
prospecting tour with his brother-in-
law, Mr.. Colby. Keen-sighted and filed
with Western enthusiasm, Mr.. Rucker
at once saw that Grand Forks was
THE COMING CITY

sold out his business and removed here
the fall of the same year. He engaged
in the machinery industry. and gained
a large acquaintance among the farm
ers of North Dakota, with whom he is
justly popular. Last year he closed
out his machinery business to w. II.
Higham. and is now one of the fore
most insurance men of the territory.
In 1886 Grand Forks held her
