PIC. LII cdSCS WleIe IH6I6 are lazy CdH-
didates men oppose them, and they seem
to have to make the same sort of fight
as the male aSpirantS. In. one county
the lady candidate is charged with hav-
ing combined with the saloon interest,
although she is an officer of the w. G.
L. U. 1t is asserted that if elected she
will forget all about local option and
the horrors of the saloon. But she does
not seem out of humor, as nothing is said
OF her dress or looks.

Eat the county convention of the W.
c. L. U. in Cass Wednesday there was
the novelty of contesting delegations of
ladies-the contestants being from
Fargo. This is the outgrowth of an old
discrepancy that was with much diff
Guilty held from the public eye during
the local option campaign last year. 1t
has lately eliminated in the division Of
claiming to be the genuine true-blue
local branch. The trouble grows out of
| denOminational jealousy, and is attend
ed by the same sort of heated spirit
found in the thick of political cam
paigns. The case is noticeable as in
dicative of the possibilities of political
contests when the right to vote is
equally shared by both sexes.

The prairie schoOnerS are reported on
their way to the reservation here and
there, although it cannot be less than
three months at the shortest before per-
roissinn will 40 uix, IN n
On the land. The provisions of the law
seem designed to prevent any great
rush of settlers by the restriction to
homesteads and the eXaction of fee of
| so cents an acre.

Col. WARNoCK. who was a former
| resident of Mr.. SPRINGER'S district in
| Illinois, chuckles over the proposal of
| the Republican clubs to send their mis-
sionaries-particular PLUMMER and
MooDY-down there to enlighten the
Suckers as to the political depravity of
| their representative in congress, espe-
| cially as relates to Dakota. The colonel
thinks SPRINGER would contribute lib
orally to that fund, and adds:
If any of our Dakota orators crave the
! alnuSSlIlSnl Oh CalcnlnS Il tlley suOulu
| go down and tackle BILL SPRINGER He has
| represented the Springfield district in con-
! greSS for sixteen years, and is walking cy-
clopedia of politics. He can Outtalk light
ming calculator, and Nould talk the arms ana
| legs off PLUMMER and MOODY i'll half the time
| the most expert surgeon could amputate
| them. Our recollection is that PAT DoNAN
made speech in SPRINGER's district four
years ago, and that was the last ever heard of
! DoNAN i'll politics.
EX-Gov. PIERCE is not much of can
didate for congress, but for fear he may
| get nearer the front, the division papers
insist that he has never been emphati-
cally for division.

BY the new time table the trip from
Fargo to Yankton can be made in one
day, via Jamestown and Aberdeen.
When the North and the East and the
Black Hills are connected by direct lines,
the hitherto remote sections will be
neighborly.
The Emmons County Record is au-
thorty for the statement that the gopher
has been discovered almost equal to
spring chicken as an article of food.
The editor has witnessed the expert
ment and voucheS for the survival and
normal palate of the eXperimenter. If
this can be made prevalent. the gopher
problem will be speedily solved without
the aid of bounties OF poison.

The papers of that section claim to
have knowledge that the surveyors are
now setting the stakes for the extension
of the Northern Pacific from the termi-
nus of the Darlington branch, at Sykes
ton, to Minot, and that the line will be
completed to that point by Nov. l. If
this is so the Northern Pacific will Sc
cure possession of a very productive. but
sparsely settled, region, and cut into the
territory of the Manitoba.

1t is claimed that III boring well near
Mayville, in Trail county, recently, a
vein of bituminOuS coal twenty-five feet
in thickness was struck at depth of
125 feet. 1t is believed that there is
abundance of coal in the Red river val
ley, as pretty reliable indications have
been found in several localities. 1t
would be worth more than gold mine
if a vein like that should verify antici-
pations.
The editor of the Canton News, who is
noted for pungency and candor. says
''From policy standpoint, that Demo
crat is fool who votes for the admis
sion of Dakota" He means that by the
admission of Dakota as state the Dem.
ocrats will lose the territorial offices
and the additional senators will endan
ger their gaining control of the senate
But it is right to give Dakota statehood
and the Democrats should have credit
icy into the range of principle ass4see
right.

a man in Clark county lately sold hi:
farm for a liberal figure, to be paid fol
i'll wheat at 80 cents busheI, one-fOurtl
to be paid each of four years. The indi

handsome thing Off of his haIf-dollal
wheat.

The Missouri valley and the country
west on the Northern Pacific is in bis
luck this year. All that is needed there
to insure fine crops is plenty of rain
and it can hardly have too much. Al
ample supply of the local option ele
ment has fallen of late, and that region
will be apt to surprise the country will
its varied products this year, and secur,
thereby an unusual immigration. 1t il
believed that the rainfall increases a.
the country settles up, trees grow ant
the soil is turned.
