DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
TIE PROPOSED NEW BRIDGE AT BEN

TEE PROPOSED NEW BRIDGE At BINNINos.
Recently the Commissioners had submitted
to them from Congress House bill 6498, "To
authorize the construction Of q bridge across
the Eastern branch OF the Potomac river at
Bennings road, in the District OF Columbia"
The recommendation Of Capt. Rossell upon
this subject received the approval of Commits
sioner Robert today and it is now in the hands
Of the Commissioners awaiting their approval
In it he says that the present bridge Is one of
the Oldest In the District, is built of wooden
piles and is not such as the District should
have for the amount Of travel that takes place
over IL The Bennings road, he says, brings
into the city Of Washington nearly - much
travel a. any other road from the country. He
says the estimate OF the cost Of the bridge is
about goo, 600 and this, il appropriated, would
build a bridge Of the requisite strength. He
recommends that no draw be provided for, as
there 10 none at present and NO inconvenience
seems 70 have resulted

The Drill vs.. the Broad Cast.

In the early part of the season, be.
fore we got any rain, the drilled grain
done well but the broad cast seeder
showed no fruit after it's toll. Later,
when the rain began to decend
copi0usly, the drilled grain kept
steadily on growing, at the same time
the broad cast made start, stimu-
lated by the refreshing showers, and
is doing well also; but there is now
this difference between the two,
while the drilled seed is we'll stooled
out, the seed that was scattered on the
surface of the ground ,ard was started
suddenly into life by the stimulus of
the late rain, is growing up rapidly
but not stooling. Mr.. Geo. Cogel
showed us grain of wheat fe w days
ago that was drilled in on his farm,
which bore 13 healthy stalks. and a
likely hood of many more shooting
out from this.

Browns Valley.

It appears that my last letter
arrived too late for the issue for
which it was intended, the facts there
stated were correct at the date of
writing but what a change SINCE that
time; change that l hardly need
speak of for doubtless your county
has experienced the same change.
When my first letter was written
every man had long face, there
was no prospects of a good crop, no
work, no money, business of all kinds
came to stand still and men were
thoroughly discouraged. Now nature
has put on her greenest dress, the
recent rains have caused a wonderful
change, all nature is smiling so also
men business men, farmers, every
body, the prospect is now good for a
large crop but it is too early to tell
what we will have; what little grain
came up before the rains is preparing
to head while that, that came up after
the rain apparently will be two
weeks later in getting ripe. Some of
the showers have been accompanied
with very strong winds, we have not
heard of any damage being done ex-
cept J. D. Brewesters new house was
moved about four inches on its foun-
datiOn.

That Census Fracas.

While there is such a tumult about
the census frauds in Minneapolis the
the country has some interest in the
question. If they can do nothing
without fraud in those two cities the
country should know it.
The proper thing would be for the
government to take the census in
both cities over again, and let no
guilty man escape. If one or botn
cities are honest they will not object
to this proposition, but the city that
would throw distractions in the way
may be looked upon with suspicion.

Alliance Convention,

The 10th district Farmers Alliance
Convention met in the Court House
at Norris on Saturday last at 20 clock
p. m. r. J. Hall called the con-
vention to order when G. Sax of
Stevens was elected temporary
chairman and D. B. O'Neill of Big
Stone Secretary: A committee on
credentials, and one ON resolutions
were appointed by the chair.
On motion the temporary officers
were made permanent. While the
committee were at work General
Barrett was called out to explain the
Brush bill, which he did at some
length. Eric Olson also addressed the
cOnvention;after which a recess of Is
minutes was taken.
The committee on credentials re.
ported the counties entitled to repres.
entation as follows; Traverse II
Stevens Is Grant Is Big Stone IL
total 90. A number of resolutions
were presented by the committee and
all adopted except the last one, it
favored prohibition and was heavily
sat down upon.
The Convention seemed to be a
straight republican pow. wow. There
was large number of democratic
delegates in the convention, land some
of their ablest men were of that faith,
but they were entirely ignored.
Democrats were more than willing to
go in with the Alliance men for re-
form, but they will have to work
within their own lines for reform
in future.
The nominees were as follows. Fol
Senator DIV. Hixon of Grant, Legis
lature - Setterland of Traverse, III
Schlattman of Stevens.
The republican convention car
safely endorse this ticket without
feeling squeamish about it.

J. d. Good has got in another car
load of furniture this week; query?
where does it all go to. We once
knew a merchant who would load his
wagon with goods and send it through
the city as a proof of the amount of
goods he sold, his team would return
by back street and unload the same
goods in his back ware house. We
have seen loads of furniture leaving
Goods store day after day, and have
watched to see them return the back
way, but so far we have faild to
detect the dodge.
