Enterprising parties who hoped to
find the bodies of Indians frozen in the
blizzard, to be utilized as tobacco signs,
have been sadly disappointed. The

Dakota papers have numerous reports
from parties who went to the Pacific
coast regions in quest of better land,
that they wish they were back to lively
and invigorating Dakota, with its un
surpassed opportunities for the poor
but industrious.

One of those who thought there was
too much atmospheric and climatic
vigOr in Dakota at times went to Kan
sas, and in the spirit Of the man who
found uncomfortable post-mortem quar-
tiers and wanted to send back warning
to his brethren, writes to a Dakota
editor:
Ipresume that great many of the Dakota
people will be sick of the country after the
storm, and want to leave it. Tell them they
need not come to Kansas to better their con-
dition. Money is very high here-everything
is covered with mOrtgages-fruits are as
scarce as in Dakota-potatoes are 81. 80 per
Dushel-and they had better stay in Dakota.

The Yankton Herald has information
that upon the admission of South Da-
kota as state the political schemers
will attempt new division on the Mis-
souri, river, south of the forty-sixth par
allel. The Black Hills and reservations
will make state as large as the aver
age of states, and if territory is to be the
main consideration in state building,
there is no reason why it should not be
state.
AS result of the supreme court local
option decision the seven saloonkeepers
of Valley City publish card announc-
ing their abandonment of the traffic to
the drug stores and "the lowest ele-
ment Of society,"" They propose to
obey the law in letter and spirit, but eX-
press the belief that after one seasons
trial the people will be glad to vote it
out.

The papers of that section state that
the Northern Pacific is preparing to eX-
tend this season it's branch running out
from Darlington to Sykeston in Wells
county, northwest to Minot and beyond,
opening up the rich Mouse river cOun-
try. This is favorite region with
stockmen. Forty miles of the road are
said to be under contract.
1t is given out that one of the objects
Of the Republican clubs being organ
lied under the patronage of Judge CUP
TILL is to train a band of missionaries
to be sent into the congressional dis
tricts in the states in the pending cam
paign. 1t is stated that Apostle PLUM
AIER is to head these stump shriekers,
and dozen of them are to be sent into
Mr.. SPRINGER's district. The keynote
of their wall will be found in Judge
GUPTILL's proclamation in the North
American Review.

A bill in congress for the division of
the Bismarck land district provides for
the location of land Office at New
England, a new town in the eX-
IRENE west, in new, unorganiZed
county, settled last year by wide
awake emigrants from Vermont and
Massachusetts.
The Fargo Sun states that Maj Ed
WARDS has received his certificate of
admission to practice law in the courts
of Dakota. He probably intends to be
his own lawyer in contempt and indict-
ment cases.

There is vigorous revival of the
talk of putting the state machine into
operation without troubling congress
about the matter. Col. MYERS, of
Huron, has returned from Washington
full of this conceit, and Gen. CAMPBELL
proclaims that speedy action must be
had or the cause will be lost. He would
have the issue made up for use in the
campaign in the states. AS Dakota
cannot do much voting, there will be
little harm and perhaps some amuse-
ment in letting these political stars dis
play their effervescing patriotism i'll the
comedy, 1--WE Are State"

The sage of the La Moure Progress
is unable to see much in the proposed
plan. to frame a state constitution that
prohibits any taxation of property, but
a device to catch the votes of farmers
for ambitious statesmen. AS neWspa-
per men are among the n-prOducers
who are to furnish the revenue, the
scheme is not likely to be popular with
those of them who are not candidates.

The Rainy Buttes Sentinel at New
England City, in Hettinger county, is
happy over the success of the efforts of
l.. &. johnson and others to secure a

than the Sundays come.

The provision OF the amended school
law requiring county superintendent
to be elected in June instead Of Novem-
Der only applies in counties having the
township system, and not to those re-
tanning the old district plan. There has
been some Misrepresentation ON the SUBJ
ject.
1t is said there are few men of any
prominence in Dakota without mill
tary title. The militia is said to COM
prise 7O2 privates and So commissioned
officers, which shows where some of the
titles come from.
