Will Colonize their Lands.

The representatives of the syndicate
who were lately inspecting lands in North
Dakota, under the espionage of B. s.
Russell and E. V. Smalley, selected 1000
acres in Stutsman and Foster counties
This was purchased from the railroad
company, the price not beng made pub
lie. More large purchases are contem-
plated by the same syndicate. It is Of
great interest to all to know that the new
owners do not intend to let thus land re-
main idle. They intend to organize col
onies this winter, to send to Dakota to
occupy the quarter sections. Most of the
new corners will be Scandlnavians. The
syndicate Is thus adopting new and de-
sirable plan to increase the value Of the
investment. The old plan of non-resi-
dents buying lands and waiting supinely
for some one else to make it rise in value.
has proved a lamentable failure, as il

those medley plays in which every thing
depends on the skill of the actor or the
effect Is failure. 1t was no failure last
night. Many popular songs were sung
and novelties introduced. The thread Of
story linked together sufficiently strong
the individual performances Of the com
pany. Miss McHenry is still an effective
soubrette and the other members were
equally as acceptable.

so and for some time past have been at

Dakota Cheered.

John Nichols has returned from an
extended eastern trip. He attended the
G. A. r. encampment at Columbus, O.,
and with his daughter Emma, and an
other lady made prominent figures in q
grand parade, of which the following
from the Columbus State Journal, Is an
account:
One Of the most attractive sights in
the great parade was found way down
near the end of the review. The Da-
kotans about fifty in number-bore a
beautiful banner in the hands of John J.
Nichols Of Jamestown. Two Dakota
ladies marched with HIM, each bearing an
American flag. These ladies we're Mrs.
w. p. Taylor of Andover, and Miss Emma
Nichols, daughter OF the color bearer.
The banners beauty was sufficiently
snowy to catch the eye of the spectators
ard instantly won their applause. But
the added attraction of Dakota ladies
bearing the national colors increased the
furor Of the throng who greeted them
and MANY voice was heard to say 'sDa-
kota is all right-she brings the girls
along" Aud others shouted 'Ah, OAK
ota, we will let You in and the girls too,
when Ben is elected
The ladies who thus tramped the
streets OF Columbus were not at all tired
when the parade was dismissed. Either
Of them could have then wrestled and
downed cyclone or shot buffalo and
broiled steak for supper. We must let
Dakota in. Such fine men and women
as these are, who journeyed 2,O(N miles
to a G. A. r encampment, deserve bet
ter treatment at Washington than they
are receiving.

Democrats Resolve.

The following are the resolutions adopt
ed by the democratic convention of the
Twenty-second legislative district at Car
rington Wednesday. The resolutions
were unanimously adopted, and are given
in full:
This convention heartily endorses
President Cleveland in his effort to give
us government of the people, by the
people and for the people.
We endorse the administration OfGOv.
Church, and most heartily approve the
nomination of James w. Harden as
our delegate to congress, believing that
the interests of our farmers de-
mand that we should be represented by
farmer.
We are heartily in favor of the reduc-
tion Of the present high tariff which taxes
our farmers and increases their expenses
for the benefit of capital invested in man
ufacturing, without giving them any cor
responding benefit.
We strongly endorse the principles ad-
vocated by the Dakota farmers alliance
AID pledge ourselves to support leglsla-
ton which will secure to all our citizens
equal rights, equal taxes and equal bene-
fits under the law.
We heartily ratify the platform adopt
ed by the territorial convention at James,
town in favor of the immediate admis-
sion of Dakota as one state. with power
to divide ourselves in the future il neces-
sary, and we arra1gn the republican party
for delaying our admission to. the union
by refusing to agree to our being admit
ted unless divided.
We believe that the citizens Of each
county should have the right to decide
for themselves whether liquor should be
sold there or not, and therefore we favor
the amendment Of the present law, that
those counties which adopt local option
should be able to enforce 1t. The people
should control the saloon, and not the sa-
loon the people.
We believe that taxation should be
eqnalized SO that a fair proportion be
borne by the railroads and other corpora
3tions. The warehouse and grain laws must
be revised to give our farmers an open
market for their products, and q usury law
should be passed which would secure our
farmers q supply Of money at reasonable
rates while protecting them from extor-
ton by mortgage sharks.

Prosperity Follows the Street Buyer.
The following significant items are
from this weeks Edgeley, LaMoure coun-
ty, Mail:
The knowing ones predict that good
No. hard seed wheat will be in great de-
mand next spriag, and alta price which
will seem fabulous compared to that re-
ceived for several years past.
"Eighty-eight, eighty-nlne, ninety, and
g half, ninety-one, and a half, ninety-two,
ninety-three," was the way one load of
hard wheat was bid off by the Edgeley
buyers early Tuesday morning.
The Edgeley grain market is very live
" these days, and the competition be-
tween the several buyers forces the price
from one to three cents above the elevator
quotations on almost every load brought
into town. When you want the highest
price for your grain come to the terminal
city.
The same paper adds that not an un'-
occupied house exists in the town, and
half dozen families desiring houses are
unable to move in on that account. Busi-
ness of all kinds was good at Edgeley
last year, and Is even better this. They
attribute it to the presence of the wheat
buyer on the street. Many bushels OF
gram from Stutsman county went to
Edgeley. Jamestown capitalists should
wake up.
