The Exhibit Convention.

The Red river valley is astir in the
matter Of the Worlds Fair exhibit, and
the exhibit convention called for Dec. II
at Grand Forks promises a large gather
ing. 1t is not to be confined to that val
ley alone, but delegations from all parts
Of the state are earnestly invited. Grand
Forks is putting the ball in motion, and
other parts Of the state as equally inter-
ested will no doubt get in line and do
their share in the great work to be ac-
complished. Every county, town, hamlet
in the state is urged to send a delegate.
All the state associations, the mayors OF
cities. presidents Of boards of trade, are
invited to send five delegates; the press
is especially urged to be fully repre-
sented, as much of the success of the
undertaking depends on the newspapers.
The legislature will be favorably inhu-
enced by hearty cooperation in the
above convention.

The Devils Lake Sioux.

Speaking of the inprobability of the
Sioux on the Devils Lake reservation
joining their crazy relatives west Of the
Missouri, in any outbreak against the
whites, Post Trader Frank Palmer Of
Fort Totten, quoted by the New Rock
ford Transcript, says:
These Indians have been here since
1867, and have been we'll cared for by the
government. All under thirty five years
of age know no other home, have been
educated on this reservation, and most of
them read and write quite readily. They
have not been trained to the wild, prairie
life of their forefathers, or of their kin
folks on the Missouri river, where the
Messiah craze seems to rage most furi-
ously. a winter campaign on the bleak
prairie would be a hardship these indians
could not stand any better than the
soldiers. The chiefs liable to tire their
minds are all on other reservations. and
what few old warriors there are here

enough to not to solicit any more Of it,

had left this reservation. ostensibly to
JON the followers of Sitting Bull, orisi-
mated from three Young fellows leaving
the reservation after rabbits. There was
one gun IN the crowd. And a smile
toyed with his mustache as he said: The
Indians on this reservation can not take
the warpath this winter because their
oxen are unshod.'

Reports OF superintendent and
Steward Rcady---Nccds of the In
stitutIon for the Next Two Years.
The asylum trustees held their regular
meeting yesterday, and did considerable
business. There were present President
Buchanan and Messrs. Thompson, Hub.
bard and Porter. The artesian well was
inspected and is highly satisfactory. The
water is of excellent quality for washing,
for use in boilers, and for the various
purposes Of theinstitution. 1t is greatly
preferred by many for drinking purposes.
The quantity is times more than the
present necessities OF the institution re-
quire, the flow being about G,OOG barrels
a day.
The reports Of Superintendent ArciIi-
bald and Steward Lowell were read and
discussed by the board. Advance sheets
of the reports will be forwarded to the
governor, for his use in preparing his
message to the legislature. 1t was
ordered that 1000 copies of the report be
printed for uso OF the Legislature. The
report urges several needed Improve
ments, among them an Ice house. IA barn,
a fire outfit including hose and hose
house. and recommendeds that $500 be
appropriated for laying off grounds ana
sodding the same around the buildings.
The sum Of $4,000 is asked for all pur-
poses for the two years. The report of
Engineer Pettisrew shows that fully one
third is being saved in the coal bills by
use OF the Ignite fuel. Two years ago
this item was $4,000 but figures for last
year, dnring portion of which only, the
western coal was used, show that the
coal bill will be about $sllOO). The

MONEY IN HIS POCKET.
Another Farmer Beats the Elc-
vatOr Companies by Ship
ping His own Wheat.
He Realized Nine Cents per
BuSllel Better Than the
Elevator Offer and
Now Proposes to Enlist CO-Opcr
alton of Ncighbors and
Build IL Warehouse.

Another instance comes to hand of how
a farmer IN this county has saved good
hard dollars by keeping his wheat out Of
the hands of the elevator men. Henry
Vessey had a Car load OF wheat at the
Elelridge side track not very long ago.
He states he was offered by the mill a
price and a grade which he did not con-
slder enough by any means. The eleva.
tor at Eldridge would offer out little bet
ter, VIZ. No. Q northern with 215 pounds
dOckage per bushel. The elevator price
made his wheat worth 66 cents. He
knew his grain was worth more, but what
can North Dakota farmer do to protect
himself, confronted as he is in this state
by obstacles on every side? The only
thing is to get Il car, either by favor or
good luck, from the railroad company.
and ship his grain to commission men.
This was what Mr.. Vessey was able to do
and MonGa, when he received the returns
from his venture. he was delighted to find
that his wheat had been graded No. 2
northern and sold for 90 cents a bushel,
making it net him, with all expenses
paid, IS cents bushel. He saved nearly
10 cents a bushel, money that he car use
for his family and himself instead of
giving it as tribute to the elevator com
panes whose nets are spread in every
direction for victims, like himself.
Mr.. Vessey is a Woodworking farmer.
an old timer who has taken the good, Dad
and Indifferent in North Dakota, and is
here trying to get ahead; trying to con-
vince himself that that is the country to
help develop and IN which to rase his
family and spend the best portion of his
life. Thousands Of other f1rmcEs are
similarly situated and few Of them who

EX-Gov. Orslway Keeps an Eye on
North Dakot;, Politics and the Gen.
erai Fortunes OF tho State.
Ex-Governor Ordway has written a
letter to {, North Dakota friend, in which
the political situation is vigorously re-
viewed. The governor is at present
slowly regaining strength in the noun
tains of New Hampshire. With return
ing health the governor says he has re-
newed, somewhat, his early faith IL
human nature. He recalls the up. build
ing Of the territory, the founding of the
public institutions, the development Of
the country, all of which he witnessed in
person and speaks Of the deep interest he
still has in the progress Of the state. Gov.
Ordway says that he practically rocked
the cradle of the young states of North
aud South Dakota and heartily regrets
that out of the vast expenditures of
public money in every other section of
the country North Dakota's admitted
share for public buildings and irrigation
has been withheld. The governor repeats
his hope that the mute testimony OF
nearly all the public institutions in both
Dakotas which were founded during his
administration and the splendid condition
Of the public credit when he retired from
office will viudicate him from the unjust
assaults of aspiring and jealous enemies.
All interesting paragraph of his letter
says: IF my health will permit and my
advice would have any weight, | would
willingly put aside all former differences
and unjust criticisms with which ( have
been assaled and counsel at Bismarck
this winter with the peoples represen-
tatives as to tho best means of restoring
the credit of the state, relieving the peo-
pie Of public burdens and in securing
long delayed justice from the general
government through congress.
