THE BROKEN COLUMN.

The dispatches and reports that the
subsidized star at Grand Forks, Gen.
Ward, was temporarily absent on bust
ness or patriotic tours, were no doubt
inspired by him. He may have hoped
by that means to temporarily throw
the pursuers into disorder and enable
him to retreat with his stores in good
shape. While he has had an eyentful
history and has probably gone through
marvellous passages on his adamantne
cheek, it is not probable that he is the
hero of all the mysterious and reckless
adventures that have been the sensa-
ton of localities the past twenty or
thirty years. Some of those located in
Minnesota are evidently not suited to
his biography. 1t is not probable that
he ever bloomed out in the political
field as in Dakota. There was bra
vado about his career that can but chal-
lenge admiration. 1t was peculiarly
adapted to new country, where vi
vacitY and dash count, and antece-
dents are not subject to inquiry. 1t is
almost matter of regret that there was
not full development of his possibili-
ties. He was on the point of interest
ing passages in the development of the
political situation for the Republicans,

the celebrated Cattle Chief. which re-
Gently had the misfortune to have its
ten-stamp mill burnt to the ground.
This mill was put up when the ore was
about seven feet in width. 1t is now
sixty. and the company was making
money with its little mill at the time
of the accident, and in fact has never
had single run since its commence
ment "a year ago last November) that
has not paid it a small profit; and
the ledge having recently enlarged has
reduced the mining expenses so they
were making more than formerly. The
mill is run by water power and is one
mile from the mine, all down grade.
The mine Is i'll the Fairyiew hill, and is
opened up by two tunnels, the lower
one OF which is 1o7 feet from the sur
face.
The company has not quite decided
what it will do in the spring, but
hope, to erect at least forty-stamp
mill, as they consider their ore bodies
sufficiently large to even warrant a
larger plant. III. nj. Gregg is superin
tendent and president of the company,
and is we'll qualified to judge what size
the plant should be to work the prop
erty to the best advantage.
-Fe -Four miles from here recent dis
covery of free milling ore gold has been
made which shows up well in the pan,
and is liable to prove quite a mine, as
development work is being pushed as
fast as the means at hand will allow.

Both of these men have been given
grand opportunity to get to the front,
but neither availed himself of the
chance, and their political life will cease
with the present session of the terrific
rial Legislature. Cass county, however,
is fortunate in having one representa-
tive at Bismarck that appears to be in

that he is representing. He is modest.

There seems to be similarity of eStl-
mate between the governor and most OF
the legislators that might break out into
good feeling on both sides around
table loaded with glassware, if it were
not for the obdurate aversion among
them all to any sort OF Stimulant that
flows or enters the mouth. One of the
conditions of celestial felicity was an
nounced good while ago as becoming
like little children. Some claim to be
able to see all approach to adoiescent
simplicity, whether or no, it is of the
exact sort that insurns poSt-mortem
salubrity. The ley Ia ure makes a
face, and says it will nave nothing to
do with the governor except as
matter of public duty; it will take his
name off of a county, and resolve that
10y wire the first day lie as control, and
good many other things mat are not
entirely Christian in spirit. The cata-
logue on the other side is copious, and
probably similar in spirit. The data on
both sides are sufficiently indicated in
the Bismarck dispatches. The picture
is not one to aggraTate hilarity with the
judicious. and should stimulate hopes
that the state era will not be delayed,
even to promote party glory.
The legislature apparently does not
feel an aching need of advice from Gov.
CHURCH in regard to appropriations for
public institutions. In fact, his suggeS-
tons are likely to be incentive to oppos-
ing action. The chief occasion for ap
preparations for new educational or
humane structures seems to be to even
up the sections. Some have more than
others. aud it may be deemed best to
establish sort of equilibrium before
the exit of the territorial system and the
severance of the sections. Notably. OH
normal schools the South is two or three
ahead of the North, the latter having
but one. Ii it were not for keeping up
the balance, it would be we'll to advise
SloWneSS of movement. These are
costly institutions TO run, and the drift
in the older states is toward more
economical substitute. such as depart
ment for the instruction of teachers IN
connection with the universities or high
schools. Still, for localities that have
no chance for other institutions, the
nOrmals are convenient. They help out
things, and are generally operated sue

WET CITY AND DRY MEN.
Uneasiness Felt About the Action

Uneasiness Felt About the Action
of the Men Sent to Bismarck.
SPECIAL to the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, Feb. 15.-The news
that the legislature is to take up the
temperance question Saturday, causes
stir in Sioux Falls not unlike the
uneasy thrill which shoots up mans
back when he steps on a snake. This
city is afraid of prohibition legislation.
Local option was tried here for a year,
and all know what it meanS-abSOlutely
free whisky. The county out Of tota:
vote of a little over 1000 gave over 1000
majority for high license. The city
itself voted high license six to one. 1t
is hard to tell just what the effect would
be in case the bill now before the legis-
lature should pass, but the experience
of Iowa cities situated as Sioux Falls is,
gives the prohibitiOniStS little hope of
enforc .ng the law.
This city has enjoyed wonderful free
dom from drunkenness under high
license. During the month of JAN
uary there were but two ar
rests for drunkenness, and SO far
during February, no arrests have
been made. 1t is exceedingly rare to
see an intoxicated man on the street.
The city is so far superior in this re-
Spect to prohibition Sioux City that
many of the former advocates of pro-
hibition, after taking a trip to Sioux
City and making a comparison between
the two towns, have come out for high
license as the better way to restrict the
traffic.
Some uneasiness is felt as to the posi-
ton which the representatives of this
county will take on this question.
Anomalous as it may seem, Minnehaha
county. which gave thousand major
ity for high license, elected two prchi-
bitionistS to represent her at Bismarck.
G.. A. Soderberg, of the council, is
pronounced prOhibitiOniSt and made the
race as such. During the campaign he
was asked few questions. but it was
generally conceded that he represented
the radical prohibition element. He
knows, however, that he represents
strong high license constituency. His
principles will lead him to support the
bill, while policy will whisper in his
ear a seductive protest against haSty
action. How he will get out of the
dilemma is a question which will keep
him awake O'nightS until relief comes.
His honor, Speaker Keith, will have
stormy road to travel. During the cam
paign he carried water OF both Shout
ders. He was hand-in-gloye with both
elements and received the support OF
both. 1t has now leaked out that he
has promised both his support of their
measures. The only possible exit for
him now visible is for him TO take the
collie when the question comes up.

WHOSE FAULT?

There is not much strain TO find
companion in the Republican managers
in congress, with the Confederate lead
ers in the inception of the war, when
they would not agree to come back into
the Union if they were given blank
paper and allowed to write their own
terms. The Democrats and Mr..
SPRINGER have conceded everything,
and virtually asked the Republicans to
dictate the conditions for the speedy adj
mission of the new states. Although
they lack the candor of the Confeder-
ates, their acts show that the spine is
the same. If no admission measure is
passed at this session there can be no
successful effort to saddle the blame
upon the Democrats. The latter have
thrown down all the bars they have
charge of and invite the states in with
out even insisting upon New Mexico.
If the Republicans persist in, keeping
them out in order TO claim the entire
credit as partisans for admission by and
by, it should be distinctly understood
just where the blame lies. They take
the chances of causing a delay of a year
ut least.

THE SPRING FLOOD

Will Swell the Boom of the Real
Estate Dealers When Let Loose.
Special to the Globe
SIOUX FALLS, Feb. 15.-The real es-
tate boom is growing quieter, the last
week showing a decided decrease in
sales. This is what has been greatly
desired by the real estate sachemS here,
who began to get uneasy at the lengths
to which the boom was going, and is
PATTY the result OF their efforts to put
down breaks. 1t is desired here to hold
back the boom until spring, when it will
be urged TO the front. Sioux Fails men
are afraid of those delirious real estate
booms. which leave town like the vic
tim of a fever, and they are trying to
hold it back-iike the fatherof a preco-
cious boy. The reduced sales are the
results of this effort.

MURDER OR SUICIDE.
The Old Man Was Found Killed
and Foul Work Is Suspected.

Special to the Globe.
KIMBALL. Oak, Feb. ia couple
of days agol a messenger brought in
word that Bohemian named James
Toupal, living in Richland township,
had committed suicide with shotgun,
and demanded visit from the coroner
at once. The deceased, a man of nearly
seventy years of age, was found close
by his home and near him shotg I'm,
one barrel empty; but there were no
marks of shot wounds upon him. A
jury was at once empaneled and a
rigid crossexamination established the
fact that there was foul play some
where. The old man lived in a one
roomed house with his wife, son and
his wife, also occupying the room, dwell
ing with them. None of these would
swear to the same thing, except that all
claimed that the old man shot himself.
A post-mortem showed two fractures of
the skull, one at the base of the brain
and one near the ear. Prosecuting
County Attorney Porter is now looking
up the matter, and there will be pros
pect for murder trial at the next term
of court,

the most rigid construction of the law.
If there is any complaint of him he
loses his $1,000, his license, and can't
even keep drug store for five years.
1t is pretty certain that no druggist
would take all those chances. Where
the local sentiment was not with the
law it would be a dead letter, and blind
pigs would flourish. People who do not
drink would be eager to evade a statute
that is so stringent, and it would not be
likely to promote temperance anywhere.
It is improbable that the legislature will
enact law of that character at this
time

1T is IRON-CLAD.

In the legislature that is claimed to com

enactments is a novelty in some of its
provisions. The only sale allowed is by
druggists, who are to give 81. 900 bond
to sell for only three purposes-scien-
tific, medical and mechanical. Even to
sell for these purposes the druggist
must have the petition of twenty-five rep

CAssELToN, Dak., Feb. ia COM
pany Is being organized under the name

pose of the company to secure control of
the large farms Surrounding this city,

and sell to immigrants on long time and
easy payments. In this way, it is said,
over 10,00O people conld be located here,

would be given Casselton. The project
is good one, and might be followed to
advantage by other localities in North
Dakota. This would insure diversified
farming and result in an era of prosperi-
ty that can never be enjoyed as long as
great tracts of lands are devoted ell
tirely to the raising of wheat alone.

than 500 should be very conservative
in his habits.
~
Fer some reason, the official report of
the taxes paid into the general treasury
by the several counties Classics them
as North and South Dakota. The only
noticeable point shown by them is, in
proportion to population, the counties of
| the North pay the most taxes. This is
not quite easily explained, as the North
is the newer region, having organized
| twelve counties in the past four years,
| while the South has added but three.
| The ten larger counties Ill the North
are contrasted with the leading ter
of the South, with balance in
favor of the North of Ss3.599.75. Cass
leads them all largely, although others
have very nearly the same population.
It pays more than any two counties in
| the South. Probably its lands are held
| higher.
| Grafton is lively town of 1850 peo-
| pie. and will take good care of the con-
| stitutional convention, if it gets there,
| which may be regarded as quite doubt
| full. 1t has ample church and hotel ac-
cOmmodations, with water works, and
will not drive members to the drug
stores to get their liquid rations.
-
There is disposition at Bismarck tore
| gard DR.. ALLoWAY as too rapid trav-
eler. Some of them have figured up that
| he averaged 100 miles every day in the
year, and killed $1,000 worth of horses.
They should remember that the doctor
| is why and active, and had good many
deputies. Those who kick because
little or nothing was paid to the horse
owners perhaps do not observe that the
appropriation was expended fully in
| getting the animals killed.
| -
If the treasury is empty, it is not diff
ferent from many others, both public
and private. Even in Minnesota there
| is q vacuum of about 100000. Nobody
speaks of that state as being bankrupt.
Dakota can get all the money needed on
| good terms.
