here and that is farming, and all other voca.
tions stand in the same relation thereto as
the branches do to the trunk Of q natural

made for their interests is for the interest Of
the whole country. Ii the farmer is pros
porous, business in general will be prosper

and ~stagnstion will claim our country as
their own and all legislation antagonistic to
the farmers interest has a tendency less or
more in that direction.

ALLIANCE MEN TO THE FRONT

PIERRE, Oak, Oct. 2s.-George G. Crosse,
editor Of the Dakota Ruralist, Aberdeen,
but a resident Of Hyde county, was to-day
nqnllated for the territorial council by the
democrats Of the eleventh legislative district,
in place Of Commissioner Mcclure, who de-
clined on account Of his present position.

time WAS lost that when break came

burrh at $3l 90, the railways were not
in position To orlerany large quantities

themselves TO necessary requirements
and such extensions as were lar enough
advanced 10 allow 81 the laying 81 iron
Thus, Bessemcr ores were kept out ofthe
market, and nom cssemers were natur-
ally held back. During the end 81 July
there sprung up n sudden demand from
the most conservative class OF iron
workers, and pig stocks, which until
then had been accommodating, began 20
find market. Still, there were many
buyers who had no confidence in the
market, and who, having just undergone
the disheatcning experience OF selling
low-priced iron made from high-priced
ores, felt little inclined TO enter the ore
market until the demand should prove
steady. In September, there came a
sharp advance, which brought with il a
flood OF inquiries for ores Of all grades
and kinds, with it's corresponding adj
vance in lake ireights. The conditions
OF the raining season had all along
pointed TO an output equal 10 about
seventy.flve per cent. OF the 81 tonnage,
and the knowledge Of the decreased sup
ply in the face OF the sudden and imper-
alive demand, drove ores up several
notches. For some weeks past. not a
pound Of ore has been mined but what
found immediate shipment, and to-day
ore dealers are making sales by the car

igation The lake shipments thus far,
together with the unsold ore on dock,

which, il the season permits any consid-
able shipment, is likely Ia be increased
by another 100000 tons. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that the mining season.

THE IRON ORE MARKET.
Henry n. Corr,

Thfs the Hammer Ycar fH he Hisforn Of the
Lake superior Misi.0 business.
The situation remains practically un-
changed ~ far as the persistant demand
on the part Of purchasers and the con-
tinucd inability ON the part Of produc-
ers To meet enquiries are concerned. IL
will be remembered that when the ore
market first opened this season, three
months later than the usual time, the
miningacoplc found considerable trouble
in placing their ores at anything like the
figure they asked. The 1888 market
opened with prices averaging a dollar
less than that paid az the close Of 1887,
and these reduced prices were so much
further reduced during June and a por-
ton of July, that ores which In 1887
easily brought 81, went almost begging
at 1928. The reason for this was
largely found in the failure Of the steel
mills and railway interests To come 90
mn understanding. The latter rcmem-
bcring the $40 price they were forced TO
pay in 1887. combined this year in an
attempt 10 keep the price down TO $50,

COPP'S LAND REVIEW.


~
Homeless Thousands.
A new land bill OF great Importance to
persons who have heretofore exhausted
their rights under the homestead and pre-
emption laws has passed the senate and
with important amendments has been
adopted by the house OF representatives
and returned TO the senate for concur
renee in the amendments. The bill as
passed by the senate permits all persons
who have filed under presumption or
homestead law, but who for any reason
have failed Co acquire title to lands, TO
again file under the homestead law and
aquire title Co not more than One quarter
section OF public land. The first amend
ment added by the house OF representa-
tives authorizes registers and receivers TO
grant leaves Of absences to those who
baye made entries and who "by reason
OF drought, whole or partial destruction
ofcrops, or other unavoidable casualty"
are unable TO secure support for himself,
herself, or those dependent upon tnem,"
such absence not TO exceed one year at
any one time, though the period OF such
absence shall not be counted as residence
upon the land in making proof and per-
iecting title. The second amendment
provides that persons who have made
homestead entries for less than onequar-
ter section may make additional entry
for land contiguous To the original home
stead not exceeding with the land in such
original entry, 100 acres, or il the entry
man elect they may rclinquish the origi-
nal entries and make new ones the same
as though they had never made entries,
except that no fees or commissions shall
be exacted from the eutryman for such
addition al or new entries. The residence
which has been made upon the original
entry will count as residence upon the
additional or new entry in making final
proof, and where satisfactory final proof
has already been made on the original
entry no proof on the additional or new
entry win be required, but patent may
issue This will be glorious news TO
thousands of persons anxious TO acquire
homes but debarred from doing so under
existing laws There is little doubt that
the bill will pass the senate as amended.
Copies OF the bill can be had by address
ing members Of congress.

his views ON the political issues. Mr..
Northup is said TO be a forcible speaker
and il elected will make his mark i'm the

friend OF the laborer, and since his ad.
mission TO the bar has never hesitated
to take the side OF the poor man because
he could not fee him. In fact he il said
TO have often spent days upon cases for

than that knew he was right i'm assisting

CURIOUS MURDER CAsE.-Details OF q

Charleston, w. Va, yesterday from Logan

proprietor, when shot was heard on the
porch, thu glass in ope of the parlor win

heart. Parties were at once scattered over
tbs country in search of the murderer, but
no trace Of him could be found until yester

say that Thompson's father was killed 6y

tragedy occurred, and that at the time OF
the first murder Thompson took an oath
to have revenge if be had to wait half CEN
