EsTELLINE, OAK, Feb. PA case of
mans depravity and wOman's worse
than weakness was brought to light
here to-day and Outrivals anything of
the kind ever known here. A. j.
Douglas, who has been a resident of
this county for nine or ten years,
and who has been counted among
the best and most successful
farmers Of the county. came to EstelIine
at an eaaly hour this morning, mort
gagged his stock to local money lender
and took the south-bound train for parts
unknown. The fact of his leaving the
country was not known until about
noon, when friends who reside In the
vicinity OF the Douglas homestead,
seven miles north of here, came
to town and revealed the truth.
Douglas is married man and the father
of two children, and so far as known
there was no domestic infelicity in his
household. During the last summer
Cora Seeley, young lady of seventeen,
was employed about the Douglas house
as domestic, and when she quit a few
weeks ago, she was unable to get
PAY FOR HER SERVICES
she came to Estelline and remained with
friends until Wednesday last when she
again went to Douglas house for her
pay. Arriving there late in the even
ing she was compelled to remain over
night and was given bed in the same
room with Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas,
About midnight Mrs. Douglass awoke,
and missing her husband from his ac-
cuStOmed place she arose and began a
search for him. She did not look long.
He was found with Miss Seeley. A
storm burst, and Miss Seeley was
made to leave the house at once,
and Mr.. Douglas was also given
notice by the enraged wife that h must
seek other quarters, which he did as
above reported. Miss Seeley is the
daughter of F. T. Seeley, former resi-
dent of this place, but now working at
his trade in one of st. Paul's sash and
door factories. She is at present
staying with friends here, and much
sympathy is expressed for her on ac-
count of her hitherto good standing in
the community, her age and her cOndi-
ton in life. The money loaner, whom
Douglas victimized before leaving, will
bring him back if he can be found.

WHY THE ExAGGERaTIONp

No doubt in many instances wiIlful
Misrepresentation of the facts i'm regard
To destructive storms in Dakota is made
by parties and papers that are interested
in other sections or have special ends to
subserve, but that this is true generally
would be an unwarranted statement.
Often the papers of the territory, in their
eagerneSS for local sensations, publish
eXtravagant reports of the severity and
perlls OF storms, and they are reproduced
IN the papers of the states as authentic
variations. But the most absurd and
injurious accounts come from residents
OF the territory Oh their travels. and i'm
letters to friends East. There is a nat
ural disposition to magnify scenes and
occurrences i'll which the narrator has
participated. 1t gives a sort of heroic
air to the individual, and his pride is
stimulated by the gaping wonder
that he survived such perils. This is
especially the case with young men.
whose self-esteem and imagination be-
wilder their judgment. A few DAYS ago
man of mature years, who claimed to
be an old resident of the territory, was
describing to crowd of passengers in
arailway car passing through Iowa, the
character of Dakota blizzard. He said
that during one, lasting three days. he
and his two stalwart brothers, grown
men, did not dare to venture out of the
house. and were forced to leave the
barn full of stock, but ten rods away,
without food or water. for the entire
three days, and when they did get out,
the whole floor of the barn was filled, to
the top of the doors, with snow blown
through small knOt-hole. The i'm
preston upon the hearers was that
country infested with such terrific
storms was good one to keep out of.
If there are, or ever have been. storms
OF such ferocity in Dakota, they only

WATERFOWL AND HURON.
Contracts Made for the Extension
of the Manitoba to Huron.
Special to the Globe.

Spcclal W Tie GlODe.
HURON, OAK, Feb. 24.-It is stated
here to-day on unquestioned authority
that the Manitoba Railway company
have their arrangements made and
plans matured for bridging and laying
the track on their Watertown and Huron
extension. Contracts have been let and
the work will begin as early in the
spring as possible. The stretch between
WATERFOWL and Huron is about sixty
eight miles. The grade was finished
last fall, and some of the bridges put in.
The SEINE parties are authority for
the statement that Mr.. Hill
proposes to have the work COM
pleted and the road III operation by
the 18th of June. The Manitoba COM
pany has contracted to haul $4,000 tons
of railroad iron from the mills at Joliet
to st. Paul, part of which will be used
ON the Watertown and Huron extension.
These rails are of steel and are larger
and heavier than those in use by the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy.
The above intelligence makes glad
the hearts of the people of Huron, and
as it comes from source in every way
reliable and trustworthy, our people are
disposed to give it full credence.

REDFlELD NOTES.
The College Deserved 1.-THE Fa-

ChanOa

REDFIELD, OAK, Feb. 24.-The HUI
ron write-up of the Redfeld college in
Saturdays GLOBE was a very flattering
he, and is all the more appreciated
considering it comes from rival town.
The facts. however, were not exagger-
ated one particle. The institution is a
success, and no mistake.
The noted Redfield Military band,
which became partly disorganized some
time ago, has been resuscitated, and is
now in better shape than ever. The
boys are training up for the territorial
G. A. r. encampment, which convenes
here next month, at which time they
expect to be able to maintain the record
they got at the Fargo encampment
few years ago, of being the best band in
the territory.
H. Geddes, until quite recently con-
nected with the DOland Record, will
after the LIST of March assume the man
agement of the Dispatch, Redfeld's
Democratic paper. The present editor
will give his attention to official bust
ness, he being at present clerk of the
district court.

Here ends the first lesson after the
discharge of Mr.. James after his prelim-

erty, by turning over every portion of

disposing of his property preparatory to
flight, he seemed to accumulate it, and
made a stand to face out the whole
affair, saying continually. "All of the

this means has not been revealed, and

FARGO, OAK, Feb. 24.-Fargo does
not mean to concede the lead of Dakota
cities to Sioux Falls just yet. A conf
parison of the figures shows that at the

Fargo cast more votes than its close

THE LOCAL OPTION LAW.

The decision of the supreme court at
Bismarck upon the local option law is
evidently surprise to very many peo-
pie. The confidence protested by
numerous attorneys of high legal
standing that they had discovered
fragile timbers in the structure, that
would surely cause its wreck, had led
some even of the champions of the en-
actment to doubt its stability. Many
parties in some of the towns, who have
been interested in the liquor traffic
have been lingering hopefully around
their old stands, with an ear
spread toward Bismarck. a prominent
brewer in leading city was so conf
dent of a favorable result that he had
made arrangements for street parade
and pyrotechnics. Living Oh the east
ern border, he can now but join in the
refrain, Zone more river to crosS"-to
Minnesota. The breadth and spirit
of the supreme court delivery
shows that it is useless to find
road through local option on technicali-
ties. The law is to remain in force in
all the counties that adopted it until
again submitted to the popular ballot
and voted on or repealed by the legisla-
ture; of the latter there is small proba-
bility. The demand will be for more
rigorous processes and the extension of
the law to all the counties. What the
effect of the law will be will have
varying answers, according to the SYM
pathies and wishes Of the individual.
1t does not appear why there should be
mate rial difference from the experience
of other communities in this class of
enactmentS. Where the dominant local
sentiment is alert and vigorous in favor
of the law, it will probably be efficiently
enforced. Where there is not, such at
temptS to restrain Yiolators will be
spasmodic and gradually cease. 1t
will be difficult to find large town in
any prOhibitory section where the ma
jority are Indifferent or opposed to the
law, that is able to interdict the use
of intOXicantS. Dakota has upon its
statute books law imposing penalty
for the use of prOfane language. the
rigid enforcement of which would re-
lieve the taxpayers of all necessity for
providing other means of revenue.
There are good many people in Da-
kota, besides all the ladies and most of
the clergy, who do not swear, and yet
where has there been all attempt to en-
force the law? There are several other
statutes that are dead letters, because
the general sentiment is in opposition
to their enforcement. In some measure
this will be the case with prohibition in.
the larger municipalities, unless Dakota
is an exception to general rules. In
some of the towns that have had the
law forced upon them by the country
vote, the city officials stand aloof and
leave its execution entirely to county
authorities. This engenders antagonism
between the two administrations and
will in time result in a very lax or no
enforcement of the restrictive system.
