Several fihe bags of prairie chickens
have been brought in by local sports
men. The stringent game law has had a
salutaro effect, and yet it was not strict
ly observed.
DIR. Dubois is authority for the state
| ment made by prominent Northern
Picifc magnate, that the geographic
location of Sank Centre is every way
favorable for city of three times its
size, and well-directed efforts by yig-
orous local organization would make it
so within the next FIVE years. That's
what an outsider thinks who has been
here.
"A correspondent who has probably
been duped by a travelling merchant, /"
writes: eff our local merchants or groc-
ers would let the people know as much
about the price OF their goods through
printers ink as the travelling grocers and
foreign merchants do by flooding the
country with price lists, catalogues, ETC.,
there would not be so many duped far
mers or complaining merchants. The
advertisers who put their goods and
prices before the people and keep them
are the ones who will sell the goods.
They may syy, when too late, would
have duplicated that bill Of goods, but
they should have let the farmer who
sent away and bought advertised goods
of a foreign merchant know it before he
bought. That's the business of it.
MORTIFIED News.
The case of Mr.. and Mrs John Scho-
Der is sad one. A few weeks before
the cyclone, April 14th, 1886, he had
purchased hotel in this place. In that
great catastrophe his house was de-
stroyed and his wife killed. In due time
he married young lady, whose aft
anced had also been killed. Like many
others whom the cyclone had ruined, he
was obliged to remove elsewhere; first to
Sank Centre, later to Little Falls. AS
stated in last weeks issue of the Free
Press, Mr.. and Mrs. Schober came down
Thursday for the burial of their few
months child. On the same day the ell
der one, some two years older, was TAX
en- down with same complaint-cholera
infantum- and died at midnight Friday. |

II Was Only His Wooden Leg.

George Horter, whose home is near
Edgemont, attended a reunion at Pen
Mar Thursday. A few years ago Horter
had one leg torn off by a threshing ma
chine, and has since then used wooden
leg. He undertook to walk from PEN
Mar to Edgemont, and becoming tired
lay down beside the railroad track to
rest and fell asleep. While in this posi-

happened to have his wooden leg across
the track. It was cut off by the train,
but the man sustained no personal inju-

The Speakership.

Statements recently circulated in behalf
Of Candidate Springer TO the effect that
Candidate Bynum has Withdrawn from the
speakership race, and therefore that the
Illinois statesman will have the undivided
support Of the Northwest" have excited
more irritation than amusement among the
friends of the candidates-one of whom to-
day said to The GAZETTE correspondent
''Of course the story has no foundation,
except, perhaps, in the bouyant hopes and
boundlesS imaginationS of Springer and
friends. The first time | heard of it was a
day or two ago, after Springer's candidacy
received such strong approval from the
Illinois legislature. When the Republicans
and Democrats alike voted that he was the
man for the occasion, unfortunately for
him, the members of the Illinois legislature
will not take part in the speakership
caucus
Then you do not think that Mr. Springer
will receive the undivided support of the
Northwest?''
Not by a great deal. / suppose he will
get the Illinois delegation in the first ballot,
and that will be about the extent of his sup
port. Bynum is in the race to stay, and
you will be surprised by his strength in the
caucus. OF course l can't tell you how
many votes he has pledged already nor
where they will come from, but [ know

Seal Fishery Question.

Special TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Some of the peo-
pie interested in the seal question have dis
covered something new TO worry about. 1t
has occurred to them that while the bill
passed by the British parliament gives the
government authority to prohibit the kill
ing OF seals by British subjects, 1t does not
require such action to be taken. There
nave been so many annoying delays III
reaching settlement of any one Of the
questions pending that it is quite natural
TO be on the lookout for more, and IL is Sug-
geSted that there is still plenty OF chance
Tor such hitch in negotiations as will pre-
vent an agreement for the close season.
The more anxious watchers of the Situa-
ton are afraid Great Britain will make the
issuing of the close-season proclamation
conditional. and upon terms which the ad-
mlnlstratiOn cannot accept, as, should
Lord Salisbury, for example, insist that
the United States shall stand pledged TO
indemnify all British subjects for whatever
losses they sustain by being kept off the
sealing grounds.
In case the arbitrator decide against this
government the president might find him
self unable to promise that congress would
provide for such payments. Ii is held that
the question indemnifying sealerS is one
that belongs to congress rather than the
president. OF course it would be expected
Great Britain would agree to do the same
for American SealerS if the abitrators
found in favor of the United States, out the
ability of president to agree that congress
Shall do any given thing troubles the minds
of those who think Lord Salisbury will
want such guarantee before signing the
close-season agreement.
