G. A. r. ENCAMpMENT
The Event of the Week-..Named
for Commander---Gen. Aliens
Course Not Satisfactory.

Course Not Satisfactory.
GRAND FORKS, Dak., March 23.-On
next Tuesday the war-scarred veterans
of Dakota will assemble in annual en-
campment at Redfield, as will also the
ladies of the Woman's Relief corps of
the territory. The great majority of the
G. A. r. men of the territory reside in
South Dakota, and it is confidently ex-
pected that the attendance at Redfield
will exceed that at jamestown last year,
viz, 400. This encampment promises
to be an interesting and a
STORMY ONE,
but as the society meets with
closed doors the public may
not hear of anything startling.
Last year there was lively fight over
the cOmmandership. The friends of
Judge Palmer, of Sioux Falls, pushed
their fayOrite'S claim and would have
elected him had he not declined after
the first ballot. The contest then mar
rowed down to Gen. Allen and Gen.
John B. Dennis, OF Yankton. Allen
possesses a fine physique, military
presence and came out of the war full
fiedged brigadier general. He had many
friends pushing his claims, but others
opposed him, claiming he only sought
the Office for
POLITICAL PURPOSES
and to aid him and add to his prestige
in the race for delegate this fall. There
was much feeling about the matter at
the time. but Gen. Allen was elected
commander and everybody hoped for
the best. But now that the time for the
next encampment is at hand there are
tn no found who claim fhat thnir
commander has violated the rules of the
order and used his office for political
purposes. 1t is an open secret that the
general is a
CANDIDATE FOR DELEGATE
to congress, and there are those who say
that he has looked after his political
fences to the almost total neglect of his
duties as the head of the Dakota depart
ment of the q. A. r. These same
people say that a hornets nest
will be stirred up at Redfield and that
the long-haired general will be required
to Straighten out this and several other
matters before his assembled comrades.
Gen. Aliens recent trouble with Capt.
ROwley is evidence that all is not serene
with the boys in blue and their COM
mander, and in the language of a local
enthusiast who is ''On," but refuses to
'give up" something is going to drop"
1t is the general opinion that the con-
test for the c0mmandership this year
will be between Gen. Dennis and Judge
Palmer, with the chances largely in
favor of the latter. Gen. Allen is not a
candidate and probably could not be re-
elected if he were, as there is sort of
unwritten law in the &. A. r. favOring
the one term rule.

JAMESTOWN, March 23.-Jamestown,

ing the territorial Democratic conven-
ton, has unrivaled facilities for taking
care of large convocations. 1t has
large opera house capable of seating

WILL DOWN PALMER.

COmbinatio to Beat Palmer, With
Grigsby as the Sioux Falls Can
didate.
Special to the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, March 23.-There is
probably no county in Dakota in which
there is going on so much sub rosa
scheming-in matters politicians in
Minnehaha county. Judge Palmer is
now in the race, and is digging tooth
and nail for the support of the delegates
from this county. He knows that no
Sioux Falls man can get the prize I'M
less his candidacy is Endorsed by his
home county, and it is now to that end
he is bringing all his guns to bear. Cald-
well is hanging back in the harness. He
is like BarkiS-in receptive condition
''willin'," but not actively in the fight
He wants to see which way the cat will
jump and then will follow it.
CALDWELL IS A MAN
made up of about four parts policy and
one part compromise, and he will snp-
port the man whom he is quite sure is
going to win. r f. Pettigrew, who was
thought to be an uncOunted factor,
has returned from Washington,
and in an interview published here
says that he would not accept of the
nomination for delegate even il it were
rendered unanimously, and if after that
his nomination were accompanied by
sworn affidavit assuring him of unani-
nous election. 1t is furthermore UNI
derstood that Pettigrew is sure to sup
port Grigsby. If this is true, as your
correspondent has every reason to be-
lieve it to be, it means the withdrawal
of Caldwell from the race-the support
of his paper for Grigsby and union be-
tween these three schemers for the
DEFEAT OF PALMER
in this county, a union which is almost
certain to be successful. Palmer being
defeated in this county his race outside
must of necessity be but feeble one.
Crippled by defeat at home he is bound
to experience worse defeat outside.
Grigsby is as strong outside as at
home. With the Endorsement of this
county, the active support of Pettigrew
and his own splendid record as
Republican fighter he will
scoop Clifford out of South
Dakota and secure enough additional
delegates in North Dakota to secure
him the nomination. He is no longer a
possible candidate, but is now openly
in the field, and will stay there until
the convention meets. He has been
lifelong Republican, has served four
years in tine Union armies, was in three
rebel prisons, and therefore stands in
with the soldier boys. He has not en-
tangled himself in fractional fights of
any sort-being shrewd enough to Of
fend none if not please all-and he
therefore goes into the canvass with
fewer enemies and more friends than
any man in South Dakota. His friends
here are very hopeful of his nomina-

encouragement has not been had, and it

have the location for an important dis
tributing point, but it needs favoring

WASHINGTON, March 23.-It now
transpires that the bill for the opening
of a portion of the great Sioux reserva-
ton in Dakota was not a signal triumph
for the Republican delegate, Mr.. Clifford,
and his aid-de-camps, Pettigrew and
King. In fact they are sore over its
passage. and have just woke up and
found out how it got through. The situ-
alton in brief is this: By loading down
the measure with private schemes, it
desuetude," in fact was dead to all in
tents and purposes. Ex-Gov. Ordway,
seeing the condition of affairs, and being
very deSirous of seeing the reservation
opened, went to Mr.. Holman and ar
ranged conference between him,
Chairman Peel and Senator Dawes.
The governor explained the jobs and
deals that were adroitly concealed, and
the conference resulted in an arrange
ment by which all those were to be
eliminated. and certain restrictions of
an important character put upon the
railroads, and thus it was that the bill
was amended by Holman, and passed
through the house. 1t is stated that
there vas wailing and
CRASHING OF TEETH

Clifford. The pet scheme upon which
they hoped to ride into favor in South Da-
kOta, was taken out from under them

they are now looking around to see
where they will land in the senate. Nc
Clure has been looking after it, in the
senate, for the past few days and it may
be safely predicted that the only thing
Clifford has left in the bill, little
amendment tackled on at the last mo-
ment and overlooked in the skirmish,
will be wiped out in the senate, and
the great Sioux reservation will begin
it's ultimate disappearance, provided the
consent of the Indians can be obtained.

Prot +. T. Miles. Of the faculty az
the University of Maryland, delivered
lecture to large audience Of young
men recently. on Food and Diges-
ton" In the course OF his lecture
Prot Milea in speaking of tho effects
OF an insufficient quantity Of food
said: 1.-THE fat disappears first then
the muscles waste away. and finally
the bones come through tho skin. The
brain. the spinal cord and the nerves
are nourished to the last Like a king
in beleaguered city to whom his loyal
subjects give up their food. the nobler
organs are longest nourisheo. In
starvation there is not simple hunger
Of the stomach. but hunger of the
whole body. 1t is not strange that
when hunger presses on people they
will do strange things 1t produces
insanity. and they have been driven to
eating what has been called strange
flesh; that is to cannibalism. There
are millions Of people who have not
enough to eat. 1t is at the bottom of
anarchy. The police may give them a
loaf of bread. but the whole body is ILL
nourished. and q restless feeling re-
suits. Not much can be done with the
grown-up people of the criminal
classes. but the child criminal comes
first The criminal classes are called
dirty, lazy and ugly. Of course they
are. They are dirty because they have
no spare heat to let go; lazy, because
the muscles are weak and nature tells
them to keep still when hungry.
You would be astonished to know how
much of the beauty of the fairest
women is made up of fat. The GRIM
inal classes are ugly becauge they have
no fat. How could child whose mus
cles and nervous system have been
partly starved be expected to have all
the sympathies and instincts of high
er class of society," An everyday Sab
bath-school with breakfast before the
lesson would be capital thing for
poor children. Some say the poor
themselves are to blame for their con-
dition by living too luxuriously. One
of the most intense cravings of the
Greedy Arctic party was for sweet
meats Tea and coffee do more good
than harm. They stimulate not only the
brain, but the activities of the whole
body. There will be great mission
to the poor some day to see that they
get enough good food. Sum

THE BUFFALO'S FATE.

Extinction OF the NOblest Of All the
50 American Game Animals.
1t is believed there are now only
few hundred representatives of the
millions of bison which. when. Free
mont crossed the continent. roamed
over our great Western plains. A few
small herds have very likely escaped
the notice of hunters and settlers.
Nearly two years ago residents along
the upper Missouri and Yellowstone
rivers reported that the bison was
probably extinct in that region. but
later the hunting party organized by
the taxidermist of the Smithsonian
Institution found herd of about fifty
animals in one of the valleys Of East
ern Montana, where, in the midst of
wild and uninhabited tract south of
the Missouri, they had entirely escaped
notice. This region has since been oc-
cupied by ranchmen. and it is now
thought that the bison in his wild
state has entirely disappeared from
Montana except in the Yellowstone
Park and its environs. where, secure
from hunters, u few specimens still
exist It is reported also that along
the foothills of the Rocky Mountains
few small herds still range, almost as
far south rs Texas
About two years ago the directors OF
the Smithsonian Institute awoke to the
fact that if they wished to replenish
their inadequate and unsatisfactory
collections of this great game animal.
it was high time to set about the task.
It was to the hunters employed by this
institution that the best specimens Of
the last herd in Eastern Montana fell
prey. Thus the few remaining Ameri-
can buffalos were slaughtered in order
that their skeletons and skins may
perpetually recall the memory Of tina
numerous family which was - reck
lessly exterminated to meet tho grea
demand for buffalo robes. The skin was
the one commodity that was always
welcomed in barter by the agency
:rader& Not . few of our troubles
with the Western tribes have had their
origin primarily in the fact that the
bison had disappeared from the hunt
ing grounds of tribes that. like their
fathers before them. had regarded this
animal a. essential to their well being.
The wild and merciless savage had
hunted the bison for centuries. yet
when our fathers came to this country
the plains were probably - black with
herds Is they had been in past ages.
and 50 doubtless they would have con-
tinued to be.

that in . very few years moro the elk.
