CALEDONIA. OAK, Feb. lit is COM
mon report here that startling disclos-

former officers of Trail county and
would-be prominent politician of Fargo

dollars of county money was paid the
latter for work never performed, and
the money referred to was divided be-

the treasurer and the Fargo man. In

THEY WILL PROTEST
Against the Freight Rates
Adopted From Chicago to Sioux
Falls.

Special to the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, OAK, Feb. 1.-The
Commercial club will have meeting
tomorrow night to formulate protest
against the proposed advance of 6 per
cent in freight rates between Chicago
and Sioux Falls. The city has here to-
fore enjoyed Missouri river rates, and
was thus able to compete with Sioux
City for the wholesale trade of South
Dakota. The recent order to go into
effect Feb. 8, puts things on a mileage
basis, and Sioux Falls being per cent
further from Chicago than Sioux City,
is the advance of per cent IS little
less than a mileage basis. The city,
however, had a tacit understanding
amounting almost to an absolute guar
antee with the Illinois Central to the
effect that she was to have Missouri
river rates. and the proposition now
made to take them away is exceedingly
distasteful to the citizens. There is
some talk among the merchants of
promising all their shipping for the
next year to the road which first breaks
the pool. but it is not thought likely
that this action will be taken.

members of the legislature that. as
they are elected to make laws, they
mustget up the usual bookfut. regard
l,ss of the fact that their work will
amount to little in the early state-mak-
ing period. Few laws of the ordinary
class are desirable if they will be SUI
perseded about the time they would
come into effect. The appropriations
must be made for the support of the
government and various institutions,
and whatever measures of present re-
lief are needed, such as aiding the seed
less farmers, defering taxes, ETC., but,
in the main, the action of the legislature
should be restricted to the parliamentary
work of statehood.

1t win Be Full of Interesting and Import
ant Facts.
The Hon. John T. Finerty, editor of
the citizen, is writing a book on the
Sioux campaigns, in which he took so
important a part. In his announce
ment of this fact, Mr.. Finerty says:
The editor of the Citizen is preparing for
publication, and will soon have eady for
the press, a comprehensive history OF the
great Sioux war of 1876, conducted by Gen.
erals Crook and Terry. which terminated
the year following in the surrender Of the
war chic, Crazy Horse, with the main
body of the hostiles; and also of Gen.
Miles expedition against Sitting Bulls
band IN Northern Montana during the sum-
mer OF 1879, AS correspondent in the field
for the Chicago Times, the editor of the
Citizen was an eye witness OF both cam
paigns. and his volume will contain an au-
thentic account of those stirring
scenes which made the years mentioned
memorable in American history The
march, the camp, the b.vouac. the buffalo
hunt the battle, the scout, and the Skin
mish will give variety of adventure sucn
as no experience Of civilized warfare could
furnish. AS those two wars virtually term
mated the stubbornly held power of the
warlike Sioux tribes In the great West,
their history cannot fail to be interesting
to every officer and enlisted man of the
United States army. and also to the Ameri-
can people at large. 1t will be the aim OF
the writer to keep alive his readers inter-
est in the narrative. without deviating from
military exactness. In order. however, to
salts y the demands of the purely military
reader. and. at the same time. avoid dry
ness in the BODY of the volume, he will
publish, in the form of an appendix. such
official documents bearing on the cam
paigns in question as may be of impor-
tanc4,
