Two Indian ladies came from the res
eryation to Minnewaukon, with tawny
buck, to do their shopping. While the
man was buying some groceries, one OF
the women saw pair of pants that she
coveted and managed to appropriate
them very neatly. They were pursued
and arrested and the bifurcated garment
reclaimed from the ambitious lady, but
the incident is encouraging to those who
hold that the Indian should BIZ G lristian-
lied and taught the ways of white peo-
pie.
In Benson county the authorities have

The statement that the old time
rustler, ALEX. MCKENZIE, has lowered
about the secluded pathway of M. II.
DAY, with an airy vision of a bulky
major in the background, is not assur-
ing to those who believe that the spirit
of evil in Dakota finds genial incarna-
ton in congregations Of that sort.

The persistence and frequency shown
by 'ECAL," of the Sioux Falls Press, in
noting that Judge PALMER is not in
politics would indicate apprehension
that the fact might not be sufficiently
memorized by the retiring Judiciary.

The experiments recently made at
Wahpeton, Yankton, and perhaps a few
other localities, to introduce monthly
market and sale days have proved very
successful; so much SO that all the larger
towns are trying to secure them. They
are unquestionably a good institution
whenever the farmers feel interested
enough to come out, and they nearly
all seem to turn out to them.

The La Moure sage, Editor POTTER,
generously offers to forgive those he
has fought so vigorously on the division
issue. and ''let the dead past bury its
dead" There are several localities in
the territory that would be benefited
by the burial of defunct matters.

The Bismarck Tribune discovers the
fact, not hard to learn, that the Wash

usually correct in his statements regard

paper that shoots in the dark.

The Prohibition party that met at
Huron some time since to organize only
represented the South, and as it loaded
itself down with division and other hob

carry it through the presidential racket.
The woman suffrage people hold gen

The past week one OF more represen-
tatives of a syndicate Of English millers
have been at the West hotel in Minneap-
oils in conference with prominent far
mers from North Dakota, discussing the
practicability Of shipping wheat direct
from the farmers to- the millers. So far
as learned, no very grave obstacles were
found in the way, and it is believed very
important results will flow from the
movement. The millers want the I'M
mixed hard wheat, and the farmers
want the margins now lost and the bet
ter figures the pure grain will command.

The petition of the farmers to the
Northern Pacific to extend its line from
Grafton north to the boundary by way
of Cavalier, contained about eight yards
of names, and each signer set forth the
number OF bushels of wheat he grew
last year and the additional acreage this
year. The totals are astonishing. These
two counties did not raise bushel of
any crop in 1880. and last year they
grew over 100000 bushels of wheat.
With as good crop it will be 100000
this year. There are no bonanza farms
there. and diversified farming is general.

1t is now OPPORTUNITY remembered in
the interest of Judge PALMER that
when he stepped upon the bench four
years ago, for the first time in the his
tory of the territory, he had court
opened with prayer. He was the only

would be likely to combine predatory
influences with dry powder. and he may
have aids that others in the race cannot
utilize.

All the Republican papers that have
political opinions are exercised over the
discrepancy between Gov. CHURCH and
Mr.. DAY, and uniformly take the DAY
side. Their sympathy with the latter
swells with pathos and humidity.
