city of Auburn, N. T., on the Daily
Advertiser in 1867. By the fortunes of
war he was left fatherless when bat
seven years of age, and what education

THE TWO SIDES OF 1T.

The division extremists are troubled
about the fancied difficulty the one-state
element has in meeting the expenses of
the delegation to Washington. That
faction has had the expenditure of S2O.-
600 of the peoples money in an abortive
attempt to secure state. If they have
accomplished anything more than to
waste the money it is good time to
show up. Why, then, should they be-
grudge the other side the use of any
voluntary contributions that may come
to them? If the latter effect no more
than the divisionists have with their
$4,000. the grief should not be excessive
In the division camp. The contributors
of the money are the only ones that
should complain. The only doubt as to
their success is due to the obstructing
and distracting efforts of the faction
which has shown such conspicuous in
ability to advance the cause of state
hood in any shape. These factions evil
dence that they would have the terri
tory remain out of the Union indefi-
nitely rather than come in by methods
not of their dictation.

all the meetings of the w. CT. u. there
is gentle palpitation over this subject,
and it is growing theme. 1t will be
remembered-at least the ladies have
not forgotten it-that the Dakota legis-
lature once bent before the persuasive

dental executive of the time Pierced
their hopes in the hour of
almost full-blown fruition. With the
new impulse they will again come to the
front, and it will not be easy for the
next Legislature to resist their wooings.
But in the exercise of the Judgment and
discretion that attest their capacity to
make safe voters, they should COM
mence their work long way from Bis
marck, and their effective labors at the
local option election give assurance
that they will not neglect the early OPP
portunities. They know that the can
didate for the legislature for whom
doughnuts will be fried and coffee boiled
has embraced their cause, and will not
forget them when their dulcet tones are
not ringing in the ear. Woman suffrage

During 0rdway's administration two

Was born in Wake county, North Car
DINA, III 1929, aud was the son of farm
er, and direct descendant from the Pen
ningtOns of New Jersey and Pennsylva-
mia. At an early age he entered print
ing Office at Raleigh, and mastered
every department of the business,
even doing editorial work at the
age of eighteen. He became a
proprietor when quite young, and
printed the daily Progress" at New
Berne and Raleigh, from 1858 to 1866.
Being a Union man, he supported Doug
las in 1860. In June, 1866, he moved to
Alabama and settled on a farm with his
family, for rest and quiet. In 1867,
without any effort on his part, he was
elected to the state senate, where he
served four years, and was reelected
in 1872. He took part in all the recon-
structiOn legislation of the state; was on
the Grant electoral ticket for
the state at large in 1872, and stumped
the state in 1868 and 1872. In Deem
Der, 1874, he was rendered the governor
ship of Dakota, and accepted it. His
commission is dated Jan. 10, 1875, and
he arrived at Yankton Jan. 20, and inn
mediately assumed the duties of the Of
flee, and his administration was
clean and successful one. He
retired from the office in 1878, and
in August of the same year was ap-
pointed collector of internal revenue for
the district of Dakota. and served until
August, 1885, when the district was
abolished by consolidation with the
district of Nebraska. Since then he has
been engaged in private business, and
has ever been an earnest worker In
helping to build up the city of his adop-
ton. EX-Gov. Pennington has never
taken any very active part in the pol
itics of Dakota, but was prevailed upon
to represent, with others, the
county of Yankton in the Aber-
deem admission convention, where
he took part in shaping the action of
that body, being chairman of the
memorial committee, and was selected
by the unanimous voice of the conven-
ton as a member Of the committee to
visit Washington and urge the admis-
sion OF the territory as state. He has
never had any confidence in the division
of the territory, and is warm advocate
for the admission of Dakota as one state.

MANDAN, OAK, Jan. 27.-The citizens
of this town are watching with a good
deal of interest the attempt of Delegate
Clifford to get bill through congress,
giving the Aberdeen Il Northwestern
railroad a right of way through the
Sioux reservation, and also giving it the
right to build bridge over the Missouri
river. If the bill passes it is not at all
likely that the road will take advantage
of its right to build a bridge. but it will
use the Northern Pacific bridge, which
was erected at cost of 81 500, 600 at this
point. At the same time, a road desir-
ing to cross the river will be better able
to make terms with the Northern Pa
cific, if it has right to put bridge
across the river itself. The fact that
the road is trying TO secure these rights
from congress settles one thing To the
satisfaction of the people of this town.
1t is thiS-the road desires to cross the
river and it has abandoned its intention
if, indeed. it ever possessed ito 90

A gentleman who is interested in the
"One of the chief sources of income of
the road when it gets built will be the
hauling of coal to the people of South
Dakota from the coal fields of the West
Missouri country. Whether or not we
ever seriously thought about going up
to Mclean county for our coal does not
matter. 1t is safe TO say that our first
move will not be in that direction. OF
course we know that there is an album
dance of coal up there, but at the same
time the Mclean county field is more of
an experiment than that of Morton
county. The Morton county field
HAS BEEN WORKED FOR YEARS.
and we see that the more it is worked
the better the coal. You take the mine
at Sims for example. The coal that is
being produced there to-day is great
deal better than that which was pro-
duced there few years ago,aHd, too, it
is being sold great deal cheaper. 1t is
an undoubted fact that west of the river
the veins are thicker than those OH tile
east side of the river, and are more work
able. Then, too, the east side veins ar
