Prairie Fires.

Prairie fires were raging south and east
of Bismarck last evening, and it was feared
at one time that the farmers would suffer
heavy damage. The fire to the southeast
was quite extensive, burned rapidly and

The origin Of the fire has not been learned,
but 1t is supposed to be through the care

would intentionally start fire in the grass.

A ripple of excitment was caused in legal
circles yesterday by the discharge of the
grand and petit jury, but as soon as the
matter was explained by those who were
in court, all agreed that no harm or en-
barassment could follow. The grand jurors
were called and upon taking their seats.
District Attorney Hanitch interposed a
challenge to the entire panel on the ground
that the entire jury board, consisting of
the sheriff, clerk of court, treasurer and
auditor. III drawing the jury neglected to
fully comply with the requirements of the
law. The court after having sworn the
clerk and sheriff and heard their state
ments touching their methods of proceed
charged the grand jury.
The petit jury was also discharged for
the same reason.
The discharge of the juries was because
OF a simple informality, the officials falling
to compare the list of names on the clerks
books with the names in the box. Their
discharge will entail no additional expense
on the county and will give the farmers
about two. weeks to finish harvesting their
crops. This time was requested by the
farmers and their desire in the matter had
much to do with the willingness OF Judge
Rose to sustain the challenge.

JOSEPH LEIGHTON, who has been one
of the most active business men IN the
northwest, died Sunday last at his
Miles City home of consumption. He
spent the last two years in California,
Florida and other tropical resorts, and
returned to his Montana home about
two months ago somewhat improved in
health. He again entered into the ac-
tive management of his banking and
other business enterprises, bnt relapse
came and Mr.. Leighton is no more. He
leaves wife and two sons. Mr.. Leigh
ton will be remembered by the old timers
in this section. He was one OF the most
energetic business men OH the Missouri
river. He was interested in post-trader-
ship contracts, Missouri river steam
boats and building enterprises in all the
thrifty towns along the Northern Pacific.
He was shrewd, venturesome and sue
cessful. In the earlier years of his ex-
perience on the frontier money came to

king. He was good fellow among good
fellows; a shrewd business man among
shrewd business men. He adapted HIM
self to his surroundings and was equal
to all emergencies. When the Northern
Pacific pushed west from Bismarck and
reached Miles City Mr.. Leighton mar
ried the daughter of the late F.Y.Batche-
lor of Cincinnati, located in that city, at
the same time retaining his interests at
other points. His death will be blow
to Miles City, where brick blocks and
other improvements stand as monu-
ments of his enterprise. He was also a
staunch friend of Bismarck and never
hesitated to express his confidence in
her future. The northwest never had a
warmer, pobler champion than Joseph

Good for Dakota.

During the month of August 1O9 car
loads of animals were shipped through
the Minnesota transfer alone for Dakota
and the other territories,as follows: Horses,
1858: cattle. 1856: mules, 27; hogs 88. The
distribution among the territories and
Oregon was as follows: Dakota, 80 cars;
Washington territory, 6; Montana. 2; and
Oregon q These figures form an index of
coming to Dakota, and make showing to
which the people of the territory may
point with no small degree of pride. They
are taken from the report of Dakota's
veterinary inspector located at the Mime
sofa transfer for the month OF August.

BISMARCK ought, and probably will be
made the principal wheat market of this
region. The elevator capacity of this
city is being doubled and it is understood
the management of the Benton line of
steamers propose to accommodate all river
points above and below with transporta-
tion facilities provided the market will
stimulate the shipment of grain to this
point. That the river points are anxious
to contribute to the volume of business
in Bismarck is shown by the following
letter received yesterday from Joseph
Treanor of La Grace:
Mr.. EDITOR: There are 25OOO bushels of
No. ! hard wheat for sale at La Grace at
scents per bushel-which should go to
Bismarck by boat-otherwise it must be
hauled thirty-seven miles and sold for the

The result of the recent labor conve

The result of the recent labor conven-
tion in the Legislative district of which
Sioux Falls is the metropolis, is not
pleasing to the Argus-Leader. It is not
what the AL. thought it was going to
be-a tail to Mr.. Harden's kite. Before
this convention the AL. considered it
the duty of laboring men and the Farm
er's Alliance to take hand in politics
to right the wrongs that had been in
flicted upon them, ETC., etc.-now it says
''they ought not to go into politics."
Here is what the Argus-Leader says
about the convention under the caption
of "Sold Out" How it must be relished
by the labor element:
The labor convention Saturday did not
endorse Harden, although they were impOr-
| tuned to do so, and nearly all the members
stated privately that they were going to
vote for him. Are these men afraid to
show their cOlors? Some declared that
were not concerned in anything but legis-
lative officers. When answered that Mr..
Harden was candidate for legislative
office, they replied that anyway they didn't
want to do anything to drive away repub-
lican votes from their ticket but that they
would vote for Mr.. Harden just the same
as though they endorsed him. .'They are
sly--devilish sly' but of "the penny. wise
d-pound-foolish" policy, or in the more
| expressive terms "they hold penny so
close to their eyes that they can't see SIS
gold piece just beyond"
The convention was hardly representa-
| tive Of the farmers, labnring men or any
thing else.
