FARGO, March 1.-The passage of the
omnibus bill meets with great favor In
Fargo. Enthusiasm is, for the time at
least, on the rampage. New plug hais
are being purchased, and old ones var
nished over. Simon Fraser, regular
cowboy from Pennsylvania. has

ivory soap and beer, and it looks as
good as new. The place. as it is
called, on Broadway, which has long
been waiting for the advent OF state
hood, will open tonight under the pro.

there being nothing finer in the way
of decoration. convenience and adapta-
bility for the purpose in the Northwest!
Some SIS, GOO has been here expended in
improvements. no pains being spared to
make it the finest in the land. From
every respect. The merchants are also
brushing up and getting ready for a
business that is expected

III the past, and to make Fargo the
head center for the commercial trans
actions in the great state of North Da-
kota. The tailOrs have sent East for
the latest and most fashionable goods,
knowing they will be appreciated by a
people who have been out of the United

pensive "make," and heightened knick-
knacks of every description. going

believed they will be exultant and sell
their butter, eggs and things at a rea-

are also reaping benefit from antfe{-

in operation. and since the Argus pub
