On February %, 1889, the President signed
the bill creating South Dakota, North Da-
kota, Montana and Washington states of the
Union.
SOUTH DAKoTA.-The great Prairie State,
to which the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Mani,
tobs Railway has three main lines, reaching
| Glendale, Aberdeen, Huron, WATERFOWL. and
Sioux Fails. Go to South X via the st.
Paul., Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway and
pass through S.. Paul and Minneapolis en-
route.
NORTH DAKoTA.-Where is grown the No.
l Hard Scotch Fife Wheat; whose healthful
climate nurtures the most vigorous and
brainy civilisation on earth. where single
than entire states; the soil of whose fertile
prairies is richer than the valley of the Mile,
Lake lane districts invite the home seeker to
secure a free home. Magnificent daily train
service to Fargo, Grand Forks, Grafton,
Devils Lake. Bottineau, and all other inn
MONTANA, THE GoLDEN.-Treasures in her
mines of precious metals; wealth in her 1000
GOO head OF live stock; profit in her fertile
any other state or territory; the richest
country per %inhabitant on earth; where pros
perity is UNIVERSAL; which has the best paid
labor in the ORD; a balmy winter climate,
caused by warm winds from the Pacific. The
st. Paul, Minneapolis Il Manitoba Railway is
the only railroad passing through q contin-
nous agricultural country from st. Paul and
Minneapolis to the RtcSy Mountains. 1t
runs through the Great Reservation of $4,000,
600 acres of land, free to settlers, in the Milk
River Valley. Wood, water, and coal in
abundance; no irrigation required; the only
line passing through Great Fails, with it's |,
OMO, 900 horse power cataracts, immense coal
veins, and surrounding farming country of
free land; through Helena, the capital city
and commercial centre of Montana, and
Butte, the lichest mining camp on earth, to
San Francisco by the Columbia River v alley,
Portland and Shasta Route, or Ogden, Utah,
to California points. Remember this is the
only line running dining cars, sleeping cars
and free colOnist %sleel,ers of its own from st.
Paul and Minneapolis to Great Falls, Helena
and Butte. 1t is also the shortest line to
Butte.
WAsHINaToN.-Thu,c country of tall timber
indented by Puget Sound, the Mediterranean
of the Pacific. DO not forget that the st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway is the
only line which offers a choice of three routes
to the Pacific Coast, The Manitoba Pacific
route is the only line by which passengers en-
route for Tacoma, Portland and San Fran
| cisco can pass through Port Townsend and
Seattle. Free colonist sleepers run through
without change or delay. Distance to the
Pacific Coast ia same as by other lines, but
prices Of tickets are five and ten dollars less.
Take the Seattle route.

To Voters of the Fourth'Dtstrict.

10 Voters OF the Fourth'District
We ono more call the attention OF
the voters who are called upon next
Tuesday to elect delegates to the con
stitutional~ convention, to the duty de.
volving upon them in determining
their choice of candidates. Notwith-
standing the insinuations of the Free
Lance, NO attempt was made by astute
leaders and convention manipnlators
at the recent Towner convention
to deprive the republicans Of that,
which on the face of the returns last
November was conceded, viz: a right
to two delegates out of the three, and
they got them. Acting in a spirit of
non-partisanship, which was origin.
ally contemplated, the convention
have presented for your sufrages the
following named:
v. B. NOBLE,
who, it is generally conceded, will
bring to the discharge of the duties
incumbent upon constitution maker,
a superior knowledge of American
institutions and of that which is best
for their promotion and welfare. His
success is assured.
ROBERT A. FOX,
who halls from McHenry county and
whose selection is a recognition of
those interests which largely predom-
mate in that section of the district,
Mr.. Fox is interested in stock raising,
having a ranch on Mouse River and
the caffeine feel confident of hay
ing a firm friend in Mr.. Fox, and
that he will guard well their industry.
CHAs. E. GREGORY,
This gentleman made a good i'm.
preston on all attending the conven-
ton. He is an attorney at law at
Minot and is highly respected by
the people of that Furnishing city
and the people of Ward county are
to be congratulated OH the selection
made by its delegates at the Towner
convention. The question is how to
compass their election. The anon.
alous condition that is connected with
their election that only two can be
voted for by the electors makes it nee.
essary to exerci'e the greatest discrim-
instion and a knowledge is desired,
especially by democrats, to enable
them to so cast their votes as that
both of the last named gentlemen
shall be chosen. Believing it for the
interests Of all concerned we advocate
and urge the adoption of such steps
as will ensure their election.

Adding Insult to Injury.

"Mr. Lushly," said his wife at the break
fast table, 'you are a brute. Nobody but a
brute would add insult to injury the way you
did last night"
Lushly made no Inquiries, but his wife
went on.
"You came home in q state Of beastly In
toxication as usual, and | didn't say a word
to you except sc you are drunk againl'n

For instance, while he Is known to be the author of the circular issued by the Re publican State Committee during the late Judic al campaign, arra'gn ing the Democracy for failing to nominate II. G.

But while such inconsistency and iniustice would not at all "bother" Judge Mcclure, it may be that he is really not writing these mean and plainly absurd paragraps; still, those who are at all familiar with the thoughts and style of the "great men" of this community, will not have failed to discover some 'ry striking "ear-marks in all such par agraphs of the strife breeding or gal; and if that s what 1t is there tor" 1t may have "lots of fun ii not much profit.

These combinations make New York the key to Democratic suc- cess, as Indiana is Republican es' sential; and, the doubtful States considered. II can not be said the Republicans can find 2S votes easier than 52 can be found for the Dem crats. The Democratic chances lu Connecticut, Indiana, New York, Montana and West Virginia, with 66 votes, or II more than are need ed, will be generally considered e.ter than the chances of the Re publicans to find 28 in the same list. Of the eIght States classed s'doubt- ful' only two-California and Rhode Island-will be genei ally conceded to the Republicans, and the former is State of surprises These furnish only l2 votes, lea ving Is to be found in what are generally considered reliable Democratic States. New York and Indiana alone, with 5l votes, will bring the Democrats within vote of victo- ry.
 Not one of the "sureIy Demo cratlc' votes, l53 Tn number, will be lost; and, as already shown, of the 79 i'd oubtful," only l2 can be confidently claimed by the Republi- cans. Besides. Democratic doe trines are making rapid headway in the "old free States several of which arc now held in the RepubIi- can column by appeals to war and sectional prejudices.
 The facts and probabilities con- sidered, Democrats have no reason for Encouragement in torecastlng for 1892. They are on the high road to National supremacy, and it is necessary only for them to move forward on a straight line.-Ark. Gazette.

SHOT TO DEATH.
J. k. P. Strlngfleld Shoots .Dr.Z. G
 Chiffon

Just as we go to press the news reaches us that J. K. P. Springfield, a brother-in- law of J. A. c. Black burn, of this city shot and killed Dr. z G. Chiffon at Mir. String fields store, one mile south of the old Van Wrinkle mill.
 From what we can learn it ap- pears that an old fued has existed between the parties, growing out of n horss-whippln2 administrated to a relative of Mr. Springfield, some thing over year ago. As the lat ter named gentleman was going from his house to his store, he ob- served Cbilton partially serceted behind tree, maneuyering in such a manner a..sto cause Mfr. Stringfeld to believe he meant to do him in- jury. Soon after entering his store he observed Chllton put his hand to his h,p pocket as if to draw postol. and knowing the desperate character of the man, dared not hesitate, and so proceeded to d efend himself by firing two loads of shot rom doubIe barrelled shot gun and one load from q rife into the dody of Chiffon, killing him In- stantly. Mr. Stringfeld then came to this city and took conveyance to B.ntonv;lIe, whither he went to surrender himself to the sheriff of county. Chiffon was we'll known here in Rogers, and enjoyed the reputation Of being a quarrelsome and dissagreable man, greatly ad. dicted to the use of intoxicating liquors, and when in that condition was looked upon as boing danger ous in the extreme.
 1tis reported that he had been drinking heavily for some time, and had boasted that he intended to horse whip Stringfeld as soon as m opportunity presented itself, and as he had whip with him when he received the fatal shots. it is supposed by many that he was making an attempt to carry his threats into execution. From what we can glean from jitternt sources Chiffon was in front of the store in the net of entering, when Mir. Stringfield fired the shots from within, which brought 10 m abrupt termination tho career ofthis unfor- tunate man.-Rogers Republican.

A CONVENTION of .he Democratic clnbs of Pennsylvania was held in Philadelphia first of the week. There were over 500 delegates pres ent representing varioos Democrat ic societies of the State. Grover Cleveland was invited 10 be pres ent but he could not possibly at- tend. He wrote letter to tho President ot the meeting express. ing reg ret at not belng able to at- tend and further sad:
 "My estimate of tho value of these Democratic societies as agents for the instruction of the people upon political topics, and for the accomplishment of Legitimate political work is we'll known, and there never was time when i'll the interest of good Government and National prosperity they were more needed. The condition Of political affairs IS such that tho attention of all true Democrats should be di- rected to the enforcement ofthe dis t,nct principles of the party, and in my opinion this isEo tune for the search after the make-shifts, and temporary expedlents We, as a party, are fairly enlisted in the cause of the people and patriotism; duty and party success require that we should be consistent ana stead fast. All personal and selfish aims should be subordinated. 1 conf. dently expect that in the work we nave in hand, our Democratic so- cieties will exhibit an efficiency which will be gratefully ackno WI edged by all who have at heart the welfare and prosperity of the Amer ican people.

 Judge John Mcclure is reported to be acting as a sort of wet-nurse or bottle feeder for the Arkansas State Register, in the way of sup plying It's columns with "scanda- lous" paragraphs; as that sheet contains many of this sort, and the Judge IS known to be gifted in that iine-a sharp dogmatic lamrooner. more sarcastic than truthful at
