Foreign Manufacturers Happy

There is great joy in Canada and
England. and in fact all Europe,
over the Democratic success in the
United States. They had contribut-
ed literally of their means to bring
about this result, and they may we'll
rejoice over what they regard as
quick returns on their investment.
The London Times shouts: "There
is now hope for England's continued
supremacy in the markets of the
world, and our manufacturers may
resume operations without fear of
another backset from the American
home market people," Well, we
shall see. In 1892, with Blaine at
the helm, Americans may reach the
conclusion that it is good policy to
look after their own interest.

Ellendale Leader: The Laird.
Norton company has closed out their
lumber business at Cakes, and the
manager, O. NJ. Botsford. will put
in few months inventorying and
closing up other yards for the com.
paay throughout South Dakota.
0akes, by reason of this, loses one
Of her business industries, and
Dickey county loses one of her finest
young business men in the person
of Mr.. Botsford.
Tho people of Mandan and Morton
county have been greatly alarmed this
week by the threatened Indian out
break. People too poor to own teams
walked 20 miles with their children to
gain refuge in Mandan and a public
meeting was called to devise means of
protection. Governor Miller sent 800
stands OF arms to the citizens and
troops were ordered from Ft. Totten
and other points. The reports this
morning state that troops are sur
rounding the Indians and it is thought
an outbreak will be averted.
Gen. Miles says: We have made
a careful estimate of the number of
Indians afflicted by the Messiah
craze, and there are in all not to
exceed $1,000. OF this number,
perhaps one-fifth are able-bodied
warriors and one-half of the whole
number, or at least $4,000, can bear
arms. Such body of Indians
could do much harm, if their move
ments were not properly arrested,
but we have taken measures to in
tercept any outbreak"
The latest revision gives the re-
publicans SO and tho democrats and
independents "a in the next North
Dakota legislature. It is safe to say
that at least 6 Of the II independ-
ents are republicans and will affiliate
with the republicans. As it now
stands, there will be 40 straight
republicans, 16 straight democrats
and 6 Independents and Farmers
Alliance men in the house, and 19
straight republicans, Z straight dem
ocrats and S Independents in the
senate.-Bismarck Tribune.

La Grippe-Look Out!

Associated Press dispatches state
that la grippe is again prevalent in
Europe and that the Eastern states
once more expect an attack Of the
dreaded complaint. Several ply
sicians have been interviewed on this
topic. 1T comes in the air. said
one. 1T is epidemic where ever it
strikes. There is no preventive for
it. Everybody has got to breathe.
This influenza starts with fever,
he said among other things; ''run-
ming at the nose and infamed eyes.
1t has all the symptoms Of a bad
cold, with the exception Of red eyes
and snsezing. The complications of
pneumonia and pleurlsy, which often
set in, are apt to render the disease
most dangerous. Some people re.
cover the attack in a few days, while
some of those who had it last year
have visited me very recently and
complained that they have not felt
the same since they were down
with the grippe.
WHAT GRANT THINKS.
Ex-Health Officer H. S. Grant, on
being questioned by the reporter as
to the dreaded contaglon observed
that the influenza was more con.
tagious than any other disease. II
was believed to be caused by a specific
poison which has never been satisfac-
tory defined. Many think it due to
condition of the atmosphere, from
the fact that it is 80 widespread al
one time.
1T is not usual,' said the doctor,
to have an epidemic followed &C
closely by another as in the prese nj
case. The inhabitants Of large
towns are chiefly affected by It
It is thought by some to be iufect.
ious, by others malarial. Exposure
to the cold and physical weak ness
aid the disease, and according te
the best medical authorities, one at.
tack does not protect a person from
| another visitation of the disease.

A Question of Great Impor-

Of Dickey County.
County Commissioner Wettre
Tells What the Board
Has Accomplished.
Some Railroads Will Grant
a Reduction and Others
Refuse the Request.

The Commissioners of Dicksy
county are doing all within their
power to prevent the possibility of
any Of our people suffering, Each
township supervisor has made a list
OF those who will need aid by reas-
on of a failure of crops, and with
this list a committee of the Board
have presented the case to the rail-
road officials asking for free rates on
soft coal and half rates on hard
coal. Some Of the farmers have
hard coal burners and cannot we'll
dispose Of them. Mr.. Wetrre has
worked earnestly AMI faithfully in
this matter, prompted not only by a
warm heart but a desire to properly
discharge his official duties.
1t was the intention of tho Com.
missioners to furnish the fuel to the
needy settlers at actual cost, which
would be 1885 and S5.25, where
parties can pay even that much for
it, and to donate it where absolute

THE SUGAR BEET.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Oct. 80, 1890.
1. z. WADE, Jamestown, N. D..
DEAR S1R:-The farmers receive
on an average of 81 per ton of beets,
and the average yield is about fifteen
tons to the acre, cost of production
being from $40 to $50 per acre.
From this you will readily see that
it Is very profitable crop to the
farmer, I am strong believer in
the State of North Dakota for sugar
beets, and intend to investigate it
very casfu]ly with view to estab-
fishing a factory there next year.
1t would be impossible to get a fac
tory up and ready to take the crop
of 1891, but I shall certainly visit
your town sometime in the spring.
Yours Very Truly,
HENRY T. OxNARp.
Ed. JAMESTOWN CAPITAL:
Ihave corresponded and been at
this sugar beet business for some
time, have now raised the third
crop in North Dakota, and know
the sugar in them is double that of
those raised at Chatsworth, ILL.,,
which was nay old home and where
I went to see the workings of the
same two years ago. Then they
had not the perfected machinery
which gives a finished product.
Now man can take his load Of
beets to mill and the same day get
his sugar done up in package and
handed out to him. l have made
Mr.. Oxnard an offer Of water and
railroad facilities and all the land
he needs for his factory, and cur
farmers alliance has taken hold Of
it and promise to put in beets
enough to run the factory. I find
that at Breokings Agricultural Col.
lege the per cent. has run as high a. .
20 per cent Of sucrose Tor sugar) in
some varieties of bsets. Ours were
not the best quality, but the Oxnard4
company furnish at cost the best
seed, direct from Germany. I only
hope our capitalists will take hold.
of the matter should Mr.. Oxnard
come up here, for evidently a fac
tory will be started in North Dakota,
and Jamestown ought to have it.
/ believe our soil is the best in the
state, better than the Red river
valley soil, for growing sugar beets,
and as North Dakota produces her
own bread, meat, vegetables, butter
and cheese, now add sugar and she
will be nearly self-supporting.

7. II. Fahnestock, of Pittsburg, Pa visited
South st. Paul yesterday with j. j. O'Leary,
who was pointing out the merits of the new
packing house which he will soon have in
operation at the Union stoekyards.
Senator Power, of Montana. shipped
trainload of cattle from Chinook, in the
northern part of the new state They arrived
at Union stockyards, South St Paul, yester-
day, in good condition, and handled well in
unloading.
C. L. Kennedy, agent of the Kansas City
line at South St Paul. is making many friends
among the live stock men by his diligent at
tention to the interests of the shippers. He
knows their needs and puts his knowledge
into practice.
Matt Hanrahan, formerly proprietor of the
American hotel at Minnesota Transfer. has
been busy of late with force of men on the
construction work now under way at the
Union stockyards. He contemplates moving
his family 10 South st. Paul in the near
future.
Edward Stowell. well known in railway
circles through his former position at Mime
sofa Transfer, is now chief clerk in the office
of D: w. Porter, joint agent at South st. Paul

records Of the past two weeks show that
the kinds of stock mentioned went to
the following nartjac.

records Of the past two weeks show that
the kinds of stock mentioned went to
the following parties:
j. B. Sutphin Duluth, hogs; Waller Bros,
Butte. Mont, hogs: Twin City Packing COM
pany and Minneapolis Provision company,
st. Paul. hogs; Memmer q Becker and
Sweeney Keller. Minneapolis cattle; Han
sen Lund,. Minneapolis, sheep; John
Marty, st. Paul, cattle and sheep; Henry Ray
Roberts, Wis, cattle, and SO on through
lengthy list that includes the pineries and
mining camps as we'll as the ranges and corn
fattening sections of this Northwest.
The demand from the butchers of the
large cities and from dressed meat con-
Germs, such as the Minnesota Packing
and Provision company, is the back
bone of the st. Paul live stock market,
and it grows with the great develop
ment that can be seen on every hand.
These large concerns. of course, market
a great deal of their pork products in
the East and in Europe.
Wonder Is Often Expressed
as to where the live stock at the Union
stockyards comes from. The business
is in its infancy, yet it compares very
favorably with the growth of older
markets and it attracts shipments from
Iowa, Wisconsin, South Dakota, North
Dakota, Montana and Idaho. Yes, Idaho
cattle and sheep have been sold at South
st. Paul, and good many horses, TAX
ing various sales together, that came
from Washington state. Minnesota con-
tributes great many hogs, cattle and
sheep, but the frequency with which
Iowa and South Dakota shippers visit
the st. Paul market shows that their
trips are attended with profit. Every
lot of stock that comes into city brings
its quota of stockmen. and, while they
do not don the Droadcloth to any great
extent in the activities of their bust
ness, they generally have some cash in
their inside pockets, part of which finds
its way to the tiIls of the tradesmen and
merchants, the banks, the manufacture
ing establishments, and occasionally
they scatter ''chcken feed'' around
town when visiting the theaters and
other entertainments that gid the path
way of city life.

He PLAYED Possun.

Judge Cory ana Clerk of the Municipal
Court Ahern. performed duties yesterday
moraing little out of their line. Mrs Bern
hard Wolff, whose husband is shiftless,
worthless, brutal fellow, according to her
story, applied yesterday morning to Clerk
Ahern for the preliminary papers in di-
vorce. While she was talking to Ahern.
her husband maze his appearance. and
begged her to desist, at the same time weep
ihg maudlin tears. Suddenly he fell to the
ground, and gave indications of being
in a fit. Judge Cory, who was
at hand, recognized Wolff as a person
who had appeared before him many times,
and suspecting he was shamming, poured
jug of iced water down his neck. Wolff sud
denly revived, but finding his wife obdurate,
played 'possum second time. Judge Cory
in tone of voice generally used by surgeons
said: go and fetch my instruments and 1
will bleed him The result was that Wolff
jumped up immediately, but was placed
under arrest on the charge of scaldiug his
wife with hot water that morning. He was
sent to the county Jail, and will appear to-
day to answer the charge.
