The Belvidere Common Council at its
annual meeting last Monday failed to
make any agreement with the Electric
Light Company, or any appropriation for
furnishing electric light for the town for
the ensuing year. Tuesday workmen
were engaged in taking down the wires
and lights. 1t is now the intention to re-
move the works and plant from the place.
Many felt that the price asked for the
light was too large for the size of the
town.

. r.. T2NS on

Valley City's new mayor was born at
Skein, Norway, thirty-fve years ago.
His parents emigrated to America when
he was five years old, settling on farm
in Fillmore county, Minnesota. He
lived with his parents ON the farm until
grown, when he entered a dry goods es-
Enlistment as salesman. Possessing
the requisite tact an ability, he
soon was recognized as an apt
and valuable employee. In 1879,
when Dakota was the new star
of the West, he followed her light and
became one Of the early settlers of the
city over which he now presides.
Seeing good opening in this
new country in the hardware business,
he embarked in the trade and opened
an establishment, which has been sue
cessfully conducted and widened in its
operations. On the incorporation of
Valley City in 1882 he was chosen it's
first mayor and shortly afterward elected
as commissioner of Barnes county. In
1884 he was elected treasurer of the
county and reelected in 1886, which pO-
sitiOn he still retains. In the recent
election he was the candidate of the
high license party, being elected by a
large majority. He is of genial and
pleasant disposition, seldom or never
entering into controversy with any
one. Blessed with an agreeable part
ner and happy family, he finds at least
as much enjoyment in life as is accorded
the ordinary Individual.

THE NEW LAND OFFICER.

Joseph j. Rogers, the newly-appointed
receiver of the United States land office
of Grand Forks, whose phiz is counter
feited above, is genuine rustler and a
lawyer of considerable prominence and
practice. He came to Dakota in the
spring of 1881, and after a few days So
jOurn at Fargo decided to locate at Lis
bon, and found the town by following
sleigh track from Fargo On the way
the team he hired gave out and he was
compelled to walk considerable part
of the distance. Lisbon was then
merely town on paper, and its build
ings consisted of single log house and
barn, owned J. l.. Cotton, who entered
the tract on which the city now stands.
The county was not organized at that
time, and in its organization Mr.. Rogers
assisted the commissioners as legal adj
wiser. BY them he was appointed regis
ter of deeds, but could not qualify, as he
had not been resident of the territory
long enough to satisfy the requirements
of the law. He was afterwards ap-
pointed district attorney by the board,
and filled the position to the en-
tire satisfaction of all. He was the
pioneer lawyer of the country. That
spring law partnership was formed be-
tween him and Hon. G. ID. Austin, but
the firm was soon dissolved, Mr.. Rog-
erS continuing in the law business here
to the present time. Though an en-
tertaining cOnyersati0nalist, he is a
quiet and unasSuming gentleman, and
acts on the theory that anything that
is worth doing is worth doing we'll"
This is probably what the numerous
other applicants for the position to
which he is appointed realize. The
dispatches saying that his appointment
was contrary to the wishes of Gov.
Church are mistake. AS citizen he
stands well, and is a man who wears
well. His large experience in law prac-
tice peculiarly fits him for the position
he is soon to occupy, and his sympathies
and ripe judgment will act as a shield
to the honest settlers in the Grand Forks
district. In his removal from here
to take Receiver Anderson'S place,
whose term expires this month, Grand
Forks will gain valuable acquisition,
which Lisbon, although all here con-
regrets to lose. Mr.. Rogers is native
of New York city, and first saw day
light in 1855. At the age of four years
his family removed to Fiskill, little
south of the great metropolis, on the
Hudson river. He is graduate of st.
Johns college, New York, and grad
uated from the Albany law school in
1878, in the same class with Hon. John
ID. Benton, of Fargo. He then located
in Newburgh, n. Y, where he opened
a law office, and there continued the
practice OF his profession until his re-
moyal to Dakota in 1881. He is mar
ried man, and the people of Grand
Forks will also find Mrs. Rogers a yalu,
able acquisition to their society.

FIGHT FOR POSITION.

The contest for control of the conven-
ton at WatertoWn for selection OF men
to go to st. Louis and cast two votes for
Mr.. CLEVELAND for president, as rep
resentatives of the Democracy of Da-
kota, is developing an undesirable phase
of personal feeling. AS long as it was
confined to good-humored Sparring with
gloves, with no suggestion of fight to
finish any participant, it might be re-
garded as troubling of the sluggish
party pools that would do no particular
harm, and might give tone and action to
the system. But when it comes to
throwing dirt and rocks. there is danger
of serious damage. Some of the papers
that take sides against the executive are
far from parsimonious in disparaging
epithets and imputations. 1t is not
alleged that there has been dis
honesty or bad management in
the administration of territorial
affairs, but CHURCH came with
a carpetbag, and it is supposed has too
much influence in an advisory relation
to the Washington powers. Rude, UNI
dignified and diScourteouS references to
him are noted in some generally excel
lent Democratic papers. RetortS OF
similar character against Mr.. DAY have
not been observed in the journals that
sustain the governor, but the governors
friends insist that he must be sustained
III his administration and aSSallantS
within the party lines sent to the rear.
of
on the side of the eXecutiye-and it is
noted that he is quite generally sus-
tanned by those who hold the positions
that have emolumentS attached. Per-
haps the holding of comfortable public
stations contributes to mental equip0iSe
and the sort of charity that covers up
unpleasant things. In fact, it is charged
by some of the DAY men that there is
excessive generosity exhibited by the
OfficeholderS in assuming the burdens
of party management, and they quote
passages like this from an admOnitiOn
signed by the president:
Oficeholders are agents of the people, not
their masters. They have no right to dictate
the political action of their party associates
by methods and practices which pervert
every useful and justifable purpose of the
party organization. The influence of Office
holders should not be felt in the manipula-
ton of political primary meetings and nomi-
mating conventions. The use of their offices
for such purpose is indecent and unfair
Ii it is fact that these gentlemen are
exceeding the line of this instruction,
they are doing work that will hardly
commend them to the favor of the
president, or promote the good of the
party. The GLOBE desires to be an i'm
partial observer and aid as it may to
promote peace and unity. 1t can see
very little involved in the contest as it
believes both Gov. CHURCH and Mr..
DAY are recognized as authorities at
Washington, and their differences can
hardly have the substance that should
make up issues. The party in Dakota
is not, as yet, big enough to fritter away
any of its strength in wrangles over per-
sonal matters. 1t will require mutual
and harmonious effort to accomplish
anything.

A BLACK HILLS TOWN
That Never Had or Wanted a
Boom, But Grows Steadily on a
Solid RaSiS

Solid Basis.
Special to the Globe.
STURGIs, OAK, April 20. = This
town is not booming. 1t never has
doomed, and the business men and
property owners say that they never
want it to bOOm-that is, in the common
acceptation of the term as understood in
| DakOta-an abnormal growth, short
lived prosperity, followed by the inevi-
| table StagnatiOn of all trades and indus
tries. That this town never has had
boom does not signify that the mer-
| chants and other business men are not
| doing, or have not done any business.
| Per contra, they have had in the past
| steady and constantly increasing pat
| rOnage. The country Immediately con-
tiguOus to Sturgis is thickly settled,
and for distance of twenty-five miles
around these settlers come to this city
to trade and barter. Merchants are
carrying stocks that equal the assOrt-
ment displayedein city stores. They are
satisfied with the past, and are assured
| OF the future. SturgiS is an old, we'll
| established town, and just at present is
| buSily engaged in internal improve
ments, becoming more metropolitan,
metamorphoSing itself from rude
frontier village into
THRIVING, BUSTIING CITY.
| New business houses are being
| erected. AT present three brick stores
are going up, while numerous others are
being planned to be constructed during
| the coming summer. Residences are
being built, and many houses ''fOr rent
are being erected. A new city hall and
| fire engine house are under way. The
city council have ordered the streets
| graded, and Main street macadamized.
The city has purchased new steam fire
| engine, the only one in the Black Hills.
For fire protection we have hook and
ladder, hose and engine companies. I'M
| menSe fire ciSternS are under way at the
| intersections of our principal streets. A
franchise has been granted for the Dor
ing of an arteSian well and the laying
| OF water mains throughout the city.
| Stucco and plaster works are now i'll
| course of construction.
SturgiS has two schools, four church
societies, three of which have edificeS
of their own, the fourth soon to be COM
menced. One banking institution only
is at present doing business here, al
| though the field will easily sup
port another. A neat and COM
mOdiOuS opera house, with all
the necessary stage paraphernalia,
| IuI HloHeS ACCOMMODATIONS lOf puDlic
entertainments of any character. Stur-
gis is on the lookout for parties to To-
cate i'll it, and erect Touring mill and
canning establishment. If any one
from the outside will correspond with
the president or secretary of our board
| of trade, most fiattering inducements
will be offered to them. Several of the
leading citizens of the town have or
ganized building and loan association,
and steps are now being taken towards
its incorporation. During the coming
summer our merchants expect large
trade, aid have male preparations ac-
cordingly. The end of 1888 will see our
population of 1900 souls increased 20
per cent, and for this increase we are
now preparing.
