The Democratic County Con-
vention that assembled here on Sat-
urday last was the largest one ever
assembled in the county. The
meeting was called to order at
o'clock by Citizen Lee, chairman OF
the county central committee, who
stated the object of the meeting and
nominated Citizen Pidcock chair
man. A motion was made to nom
mate a committee on credentials
and on permanent organization.
Without putting the motion Citi-
zen Pidcock commenced reading off
the names of committee from slip
of paper he "FoUND" on the table.
Citizen Davis, of Andover, called
his attention to the fact that the
motion had not been put, where
upon the Chairman came up with a
sudden jerk and said, as though
it had just struck him, "All in "a
vor of the motion will say aye! the
committee on credentials will pro-
eeed to their workw On motion
the convention then adjourned till
the committee was ready to report.
Committee, consisting Ct Citizens
Bostain, Lawler and Atkins, repor-
ted and report accepted. Citizen
Davis then moved that the follow
ing gentlemen (reading from a slip
of paper he "found" on a chair)
should be declared delegates to the
Watertown conventions: Citizens
Sears and Compton, Andover, Bos-
tain, of Bristol, Stumph and Pid-
cock, of Webster.
The chair announced: "All in
favor of the delegation as read will
say aye" Weak ayes came from all
parts OF the house and they were
declared duly elected. Then CIti-
ION Davis discovered that the COM
mittee on permanent organization
had not reported and called for it.
The chair, not having appointed
one, serenely called on the commit
tee on credentials who made tip
top report, discharging the duty
like old stagers.
The report however, it is proper
to state here, WAS never adopted by
a vote of the convention.
1t was then discovered by some
one that the election of the dele
CATION to Watertown was illegal, in
that it took place before the per-
manent organization was had and
moved that they be reelected
whereupon the chairman said, Cali
in favor of the delegation AS READ,
will please say ayew 1t still being
doubtful whether the vote had been
just right or not it was again moved
that the delegation to Watertown
be chosen by ballot, which Citizen
Davis moved to amend to ballot on
call of townships. The motion
being seconded, Chairman Pidcock
said, "All in favor of the delega-
ton AS READ will please say ayer'
This settled tit was the third
time and out and the boys conclu-
ded to let the delegation as read'
alone after that. The convention,
having fulfilled its mission adjourn
ed sine die.
The whole proceedings were con-
Quoted with the most supreme dis
regard of parliamentary law, and
was of the cut and dried variety
that cannot be attained outside of a
democratic convention. The dele
CATION was Day to the hilt. The
convention endorsed Grover Cleve-
lands administration and his tariff
message in the last agong of it,
dissolution.

The freight on butter was 8
cents-under the new commerce
law about l cent. 1t is estimated
that liz Iowa the difference in favor
of butter over wheat raising, would,
in short time, pay off every mort
gage on the farms in Iowa. 1t is
time our farmers were devoting
more attention to butter making
and poultry raising and to a greater
variety in the products of the field.
Cows, chickens and horses will pay
fifty times as we'll as wheat raising.
We do not say stop raising wheat
altogether, but don't devote your
whole farm to it, so that if it hap
pens to be bad year, you are left
hopelessly in the suddS.
On Monday, while Mrs. NJ.
Larson, of Egeland township, was
at the well drawing water, some ten
rods from the house, it caught fire,
and burned so rapidly that before
she could get back the building was
wrapped in flames, and her baby SO
badly burned before she could get
it out that it died in four or five
hours after the fire. Mrs. Larson
was badly burned on her hands and
shoulders in the desperate effort to
save her child from the devouling
holocaust of flame. 1t is a sad case
and has awakened the deepest SYM
pathy of the entire countryside
with the unfortunate mother, whose
agony is deep and intense. The
funeral services took place yester-
day, and the little unfortunate was
followed to the tomb by the whole
of sorrowing and sympathizing
community.
Education is the recognized
standard ola gentlemen, people
or a nation. In this Dakota stands
the peer of any state in the union,
we speak not of the south but of
the educated north. A few COM
parsons will show where Dakota
stlnds as compared with the south
ern states, whose congressman and
senators so courageously denounce
Da&otlans and compare them to
polygamists and anarchists. The
people of Dakota are from northern
states, bringing with them all the
elements of education to their new
homes, where with their love of
liberty and education they are pros
pering as no people ever prospered
before. In the matter of money
expended for educational purposes
for 1887, the following table will
show where Dakota stands in COM
parison with the fifteen southern
statas named.

MARRIAGES BY LOTS.
Extraordinary Custom Which ia a
Common Occurrence in Naples.
From the Parts Register.

common Occurrence in Naples.
From the Parts Register.
Many marriages take place annually in
Naples because of money left, according to
last will and testament, by benevolentlv
disposed individuals, to endow a certain
number of virtuous poor girls with a small
sum Of money as an outfit, and when these
girls, say twenty or thirty, present them
selves to the trustees as candidates for that
dover, and the will only provides for six
such marriages, all the girls must step up
to the urn and draw lot. OF course, out
of the twenty or thirty girls who have
qualified, only six can be the lucky ones.
These six are not entitled to the dover until
all the legal arrangements for the marriage
are gone through. There are always plenty
of young workmen, either day laborers or
mechanics, who are ready to accept a girls
hand and the 100 or 150'franc dover, for she
has lad to go through a rigid examination
as to her honesty, neatness, virtue, etc.
very often see the announcements in the
daily papers of such marriages and last
Saturday one of these announcements at
tracted my attention more than usual on
account of the length Of time the testat0r
hadsbeen dead whose funds were to annually
benefit these virtuous girls | translate the
advertisement literally as follows:
"MARRIAGEs.-The trustees of the
Monte Capable Chapel. of the Church of
San Salvatore of Pietra-Sante lin Naples,
make known to the public that ON the second
Sunday Of September, 1888, at 10 o'clock
m, lots will be drawn for three marriages,
each successful person receiving the sum OF
119f., left by the will of Caesar Capable,
who died in 1910, and left such sums in favor
of three young women who will qualify
themselves. which qualification must take
place ON or before Sept. 6. The following
are the qualifications: l. They must be de-
scendants of the testator; 2. They must be
manageable whatever that may mean ;
3. They must be honest and poor and, l.
They must not be over 25 years of age"
Now here we have a provision made diff
ferently from the usual run, III that the can
didates for this lottery must be the poor de
scendants of the testator. Just fancy that
will made for such purpose by a man who
died ten years before Pilgrim placed his
foot on Plymouth Rock, and that it is faith
fully carried Quit"
