,rh. Governor Mnao a M,s.ak,.


1t is now given out at Bismarck that the
recent setter of instructions to county aud
it1rs throughout North Dakota, sent out by
Gov. Mellette. in which IL county Judge was
included In the list of officers to be elected
on October i, was Il mistake. II ought to he
understood positively that no county officers
are to be elected at the October elections
except clerk of court. There are no county
judges to be elected. and county commits
sioncrs are elected at the usual time in
November. The attorney general has given
his opinion in the matter. and there is no
question about it. The constitution is def
mite on this point. Gov. Mellctte probably
had in mind the provision in the South
Dakota constitution when he issued his
letter of instructions for North Dakota.

q. A. r. Recruits.

The men who enlisted in the Union
armies during the rebellion numbered
2,sS3, 900, and if one-for1sh of them are
still living they number 700, 900.
There is no doubt that there are fully
that many old soldiers in the country.
Then why should il alarm the Eemo-
cratic editors to see the Grand Army
of the Republic increase from year to
year as these men are drawn closer to-
gether, until the membership numbers
almost 100000, or little more than one-
half OF those who are still living. The
Democratic editors try to make it an
pear that the q. A. II. is RECRUITING
from the outside, and that it's increased
membership is made up from men who
Were never soldiers. This is too ridicu-
lous for serious Thought, but it shows
the disposition of the opponents of the
Grand Army.-Ecrhange.

LATE EVENTS IN BOTH DAEoTAs.

An Immediate Benefit From the Sioux Bill.
The settlers on the Crow Crock and Win
nebago reservations are greatly benefited
by the acceptance of the Sioux bill by the
Indians. All northwestern people will re-
call to mind the rush that took place when
these lands were opened to settlement by
proclamation in the spring of 1886. Feb
ruary "a. 1885. President Arthur issued 1.
proclamation declaring these lands upon
the market. The proclamation had been
anticipated. and at the time it was issued
hundreds of people began a wild scramble
for the choice quarter sections in the rescr-
Walton. The lane is situated on the east
bank OF the Missouri river and adjoins
Chamberlain on the north. In n short time
nearly all the available land hadbecn taken,
and every preparation was made for putting
in crops. April. 17tll. of the same year,
President Cleveland. acting on the decision
Of Attorney General Garland. who claimed
the land was Illegally opened. issued a proc
lamation withdrawing the land from the
market and ordering those who had already
located thereon to vacate ut once or be re-
moved by the military. Some obeycd the
order and left as soon us possible. but the
greater number. having no place to go to.
refused to leave. A body of indian police
We're detailed to remove them. but the set
tiers We're determined not to vacatc. and
after one or two Intellectual attempts to re-
move them the police received orders to
withdraw. since which time the settlers
have never been intcrfercd with. The set
tiers have sent numerous petitions to the
authorities ut Washington. asking that
something be done SO they could secure
titles to their land and obtain schools and
other necessities which are denied them.
In answer to their repeated prayers. IL
clause was inserted in the bill now accepted
by the Indians. and the settlers will get tho
relief they have long demanded.

The Same Old Story of Refractory Orc.
DIR. Pierce, presi .ent of the Big Bend
Tunnel and Mining company. at Buffalo,
N. v. the failure Of which has been an-
nounced i'll his circular announcing the
future prospects of the company ut Big
Bend, says: The vast quantity of bould-
ers that were uncovered completely handi-
capped our operations AMI made mining
SO expensive as to prevent the realization
of profit. Our operations have demon
strated the fact that there is IL vast guam
tity of gold i'll our claims, but in the face
OF the obsta les mentioned it seems to he
impossible to extract it at n profit. The
total output from our mines last season
was 81, 7S3, aa:33. This did not pay the cost
of act,al mining operations. DIR. Pierce
says the statement that the company has
collapsed is misleading and uncallel for.
The company can pay all its debts if it has
any. II is perfectly solvent.

The matter is being earnestly discussed,

Wabash receiver. Operations we're sus-
pended on hat part of the road known MS

that the receipts were not sufficient to pay

A physician OF Syracuse says that
one OF the straneest cases that have
come under his observation in prac-
tice is a Syracuse young lady who is
addicted to the habit OF chewing
cloves. For several years her friends
and physicians have been fighting to
break her of IA habit which she carries
to such an excess that her life will be
the penalty paid. AT times she breaks
herself OF the habit for 4 few weeks,
but sooner or later goes back to it
with renewed energy. She has been
known to chew Il pound OF them with
in three days. All the chemists have
been warned not to give her the spice,
and many Of the grocers alaO, bat she
manages somehow to supply herself
with it in spite OF the watchfulness and
precautions Of her family. The effects
of the excessive use Of the spice re-
sembles somewhat the effect of opium,
and her sense Of taste has been wholly
destroyed by it.-N I. World.
