Oak. BY numerous visits to them from
her Indiana home she became well ac-
quainted with the great country called

almost pioneer during her whole life
time, having halted at various places
on her journey of four-scOre years from
the sand hills of Jersey to the
broad plains of Dakota. Nancy

tors trace their history in America back
to 1864, when Capt.Daniel Broadhead, IAN
officer of the British army, in the reign
of King Carries IL, came to this country
with the expedition which captured the
Dutch city -of Manhattan now New
York;, and the province of New Neither
lands. In 1915 Gov. Faulk moved, with
his parents to Kittaning, Penn, where
he received his early education in the
common schools and also learned the
printers trade. From 1887 to 1S43 he
edited and published the Democrat,
paper which is still published. He also
studied law, but did not apply for adj
mission to the bar until after his removal
to Dakota, to which territory
he removed in 1861 in the
capacity of an Indian trader
under appointment by President Lin
coin. He was, by official invitation,
with the peace commission in 1867 and
again in 1868, whose labors terminated
in the treaty at Fort Laramie in the last

looking young man, hale, hearty, fine
complexion and just foreside enough to
his back to be taken for jolly Dutch
man, if he would only keep his mouth
shut, but his native tongue gives
him away. He left home to perform the
act and, of course, left man in charge
of the editorial department during his
necessary absence. Now it so happened
that although he married easy enough,
it took him more time to complete the
matter and get home than he had cal
culated. Never having tried it before
he was eXcusable, for inexperience may
lead any man-though he be an editor
into error, in timing an expedition OF
that nature. An editorial was required
for the paper before his return, bearing
upon the political outlook, and the gen

and published an excellent

know that Col. Lounsberry is about to
receive long deferred justice in the mat
ter of reimbursement for moneys eX-
pended by him at least six years ago,
during the boom period, for mail facili-

always the friend of his patrons, and
his own friend afterwards. Some of his
former neighbors and associates re-
member and appreciate these facts; but
the majority of them are so chOck full
of human nature that they forget his
merits, unless reminded of them, and
then they all sing his praises. Knute
Nelson got his bill through the house
for $1,000. The senate passed a bill
granting him 500 for his claim. 1t is
more than likely that Senators Sabin

is properly amended, and the amount

REPUBLICAN POLICY

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 25. - Senator
Spooner, of Wisconsin, who delivered
the ablest speech yet spoken in behalf
of the division of Dakota and the adj
mission of two states, has recently said:
"The policy of the Republican party of
this country is to divide Dakota. That
policy has been decided upon by the
party as mere matter of policy. If
the Republicans of Dakota are politi
cally wise they will accept the situation
and join the procession collectively"
That means, probably, that Republicans
division movement, regardless of what
their interests may be, from their own
point of view. That is akin to the usual
intolerant dominance of the Republican
party in all its past history.
