There is rapidly growing sentiment in
Dakota in favor of radical modification Of
the exemption laws Of the territory. Some
Of the strongest papers are discussing the
subject, and the general conclusion II that
the Legislature at its coming session should
make the changes necessary 70 make the
exemption laws more nearly to the basis OF
those Of neighboring states. The original
purpose Of the exemption law, undoubt-
edly, was to encourage immigration, and
to afford protection TO the unfortunate
debtor who might como to the territory to
make new start. The territorial press,
in the current discussion, makes Il clear,
that, whatever might have been the result
at an earlier day, no such protection ~ :

Forest Fires.

The usually dry weather around Water
town, N. Y. for the past six weeks, be-
sides running the hay crop, has resulted in
large loss to farmers and others by fire
on the Texas road. There is scarcely a
farmer who has not lost something by
fire. In the Beartown district in Lewis
county over 1000 acres of land has been
burned over and thousands of feet of
spruce. hemlock and pine logs, hundreds
of cords of wood and some of the best
cedar lands have been destroyed. The
fires have done much damage in the towns
OF Champion, LEROY, Wilson and Phila-
delphia. In Jefferson county extensive
fires, which cannot be controlled, are rag
ing in the vicinity of Lake Bonaparte and
all along the borders of the woods from
Dayville south. Unless heavy rain comes
soon immense damage will be done. The
loss SO far can hardly be reckoned. but
will amount to manv thousands of dollars.

Married His Daughter.

Isaac Waldorf, Jewish merchant OF
New York, has discovered that he is mar
ried to his own daughter. Waldorf separ-
ated from his wife in Austria many years
ago and came to America. He married
again, and had three children by his Sec
ond wife. This wife died some years ago.
One day about eighteen months ago Wal
dorf met pretty young girl on the street
who was crying, and said she had just
come from Vienna and had lost her way.
He befriended her and took her to his home
temporarily. His children liked her, and
he retained her as governess and finally
married her. She in time became q mo-
Their. Recently her mother came from
Vienna to visit her and recognized Wal
dorf as her husband. The grand rabbi
has been appealed to for advice in straigh-
tening out as far as possible the unfor-
tunate relations among the parties. 1t ia
thought that Waldorfs second marriage
WAS bigamous, and his children by it ille-
gitimate, and his third marriage is, Of
course, void in law as we'll as in morals.

STREET STROLLINGS.

The Stroller'S attention was attracted
by couple of men yesterday in the
Nicollet rotunda, who evidently could
not agree upon some topic and were
rapidly growing excited. 1t appears
that they were discussing the platforms
Of the Republican and Democratic par
ties. You have misconstrued the
meaning of free trade, my friend. 1t
does not mean free beer, and that you can
take whatever you like here and there"
The listener was dumbfounded, and 1t
was with difficulty that he muttered,
1.-The party that has such an issue can
never secure my vote"
~
Don't you suppose that if fashion
able New York society belle should at
tend an event where the wealth and
aristocracy of Minneapolis were repre-
scented that she would be disguised with
the queer notions that the people carry
out?' queried the Stroller in teasing
vein, to a gay young lady who does the
elegant in social circles. ''What do
you mean by asking such animpertinent
question:" was the immediate and some
what snappy reply. "Why that terri
bic and perpetual cheWinggum cpl
demic that the ladies have is enough to
shock the delicate nerves OF any one"
1.-The Exposition management is re-
sponsible for this outbreak. Ever since
the introduction of the slot where you
dropped a penny in and the gum came
out, has fastened the habit on the girls,
which is as hard to subdue as drinking
for YOU old strollerS that do the
Dreaching.'
