THE M RIVER.
1t Is Rapidly Drying Up and Its Waters
Are Unfit to Drink,

1t Is Rapidly Drying Up and Its Waters
Are Unfit to Drink.
Grave fears are entertained In regard to
the possibility Of the James or Dakota
river becoming a thing of the past. It is
rapidly drying up, and, If the present con-
dltious continue, the time will not be fur
off when the noble and classic river will be
no more. Never before, within the ken Of
mortals, has the stage of water been SO
low, and the little water there is, is stag
nant, putrid and unfit to be used for any
purposes whatever. People who have
been in the habit of pasturing their stock
on the banks of the river have been COM
PEELED either to move their herds to other
parts or sink wells In order to SECURE a
sufhcienoy of water for their cattle.
This is o serious drawback to q number of
our farmers, who, experiencing the fact
that depending entirely upon wheat was
not remunerative, had invested their
money in stock. The question of secur-
ing q suficiency of water is becoming a
very serious one, and our farmers are
awakening to q full realization that In the
wells lies the only salvation of the
country. In no part of the state is as
much interest taken in the matter as is the
case in this vicinity. Experiments in irri-
CATION have been made with the water
from the Mellette artesian we'll, and the
results have been SO very satisfactory and
the benefits 80 obvious that the success OF
irrigation by this method is disputed by
none, and all concede that it is the only
possible way in which this country will
ever fully develop and prosper. Several
wells ore at present being sunk, and if
these prove to be successful nearly every
quarter section of land in the country will
| possess o we'll in short order.

THOSE INDIAN MAIDENS,
Fred Dupree Offers a 10000 Farm to the
Man Who Marries His Daughter.

Fred Dupree Offers a 10000 Farm to the
Man Who Marries His Daughter.
The marriage some two years ago of
Doug Carlin, who had previously been a
great society man in Pierre, to half blood
Indian maiden, daughter of Fred Dupree,
occasioned a great deal Of comment at the
time. Young Carlin and his dusky bride
frequently visit Pierre and are always CEN
tiers of attraction. Old man Dupree is
greatly attached to Carlin: and recently
took him to his (Dupree's) early Coma
dian home to show his friends how
we'll his Indian daughter had done in
marriage. But the old man has q couple
more daughters, to whom he is very much
attached, and when in Pierre not long
since he made the declaration to some of
his acquaintances that when he found suit
able young men of good business quslif-
cations who would promise to treat them
we'll, he would give their hands in marriage,
whether they (the girls)were willing or not.
and would present each couple, the day
they were wed, with $4,000 worth of
horses and cattle and 400 acres of land.
1t is more than likely tbs young men will
put in an appearance before long. Among
the dozen or more families of 'squaw men"
near here the utmost domestic felicity pre-
walls, and the young half breeds are gener-
ally promising youths.

About twenty delegates were

The high price of corn just now has
wound the G.. o. p. organs up till their
ainerds" fairly crack from the ten
sion. 1t always pleases the tools Of
monopoly to see the grain gamblers
get a corner of some Of the farmers
products after they have passed out
of the producers hands. This year
they are more exultant than usual,
becausein many parts of the country
crops are short and the farmers who
suffer thereby will be forced to pay
tribute to the marketgamblers. Oh,
but the people ought to love such
papers! Bah!

Good for Oklahoma.

Returns from the first election in
the new territory gives the Peoples
movement five out of the eighteen
members Of the legislature. The Re-
pnblicans have a majority over the
Democrats, but the People hold the
balance of power. Payne county
goes overwhelmingly for the people,
and elects Geo. Gardenhire to the leg

that George was present at the very
bornin' of the Peoples party in this

the splendid victory in the new state.

Congressional Ticket.

1t was stated that there would be an ut
tempt to enforce tho unit rule, md Judge
Shannon moved that each delegate be given
the right to vote personally and that his
vote be announced by the chairman of the
delegation.
An effort was then made to shut off nomi-
mating speeches, but 1t did not succeed.

resentatives in congress, and Coo I. Craw-
ford presented the name of J. A.. Picker.

POTTER, LOWELL co. FAIL,

h the Boston News Agency Has 60 Say
Concerning It-Cause of the 6uspen-
sion.
The Boston News Agency says Of the
reported Potter, Lowell s. 90. failure, The
business of the house was most largely
the sale of commercial paper. It dealt
literally with its customers and with the
banks, was prompt in all its engagements
and there has been no more popular note
brokerage concern east or west. 1t
has annually handled since its Ger
porate organization in 1885 from
$40, GOO, 900 to $50, $1,000 of commercial
paper; it was not a borrower upon its own
name, or IN endorser Of paper it passed,
and therefore its outstanding liabilities
were secured on commercial paper. It
WIS customary for this firm to advance
n suey on paper ahead of sales, to carry
sch paper in banks as collateral for loans
to the company. During the past ten
years it has been called upon and met
81, 200, 900 of call loans. Upon q capital
of $50, 900 the company has
accumulated q surplus of $50, 600.
The success of the firm induced outside
ventures by Walter Potter, mostly in
Texas, in connection with Chicago and
London parties, and in these q fortune Is
probably locked up. Walter Potter de-
clines any assistance. He says if the peo-
pie will pay their debts to him he will pay
his, but he will not borrow Of his friends
to carry his mercantile associates. He
could probably have had $500, 900 or more
it he so desired, but he has declined all
offers.
The trouble Of the Boston firm, Potter,
Lowell & Co., was largely caused by the
failure Of the Bragos river scheme to estab-
llsh q deep water harbor in Texas on the
Gulf Of Mexico. Congressman Abner
Taylor, Of Chicago, Is interested, through
endorsing notes of its promoters. J.V.
Farwell b 90. are interested through hav-
ing some Of their commercial paper In the
firms hands. This paper is eli amply se-
cured, and Farwel & Co. are not at all
affected.
