Nobody seems to understand why, after
the APPALLING revelations OF official dishOn-
esty and corruption in Pennsylvania, that
State should have given the comfortable
majority Of about $4,000 to the candidates

tial explanation may be found in the fact
that Boss Quay allowed the Pennsylvania

acter than those usually proposed for office

A W6Sl state.

North Dakota, says the Wahpeton
Globe, is rapidly becoming great wool
state. Sections Of the state which during
the last few years have produced very
light crops arc now almost entirely given
up to sheep, herses and cattle, and are
becoming very valuable sections of the
country. About 100000 sheep were
brought into the state last year. The
legislature enacted laws in the interest of
sheep husbandry, and the result is very
apparent already. Representatives of
eastern manufacturers are now in 5tha
state contracting with sheepmeu~ tur
wool. 1t is estimated that 81, ,60O, 600 wi.
be paid to North Dakotans this year for
wool and mutton: -,

Drowned at winona.

A Fort Yates correspondent writes as
follows to the Bismarck Tribune under
date Of March 20; 1t has Just come 70
the knowledge of your correspondent
that one week ago last Tuesday-the day
of the big storm--a Russian was drowned
while crossing the river between this
agency and Winsna. He was employed
by man named Grady to drive team,
as Grady is delivering grain here for II.
s. Parkin. 1t appears that the Russian
stopped on the ice to water his team, and
he took pail and approached an afr
hole to dip the water up, Just then u
strong gust of wind blew him forward
into the hole, and the poor man imme-
dlately went under the ice. The horses
went on driverless until they got to Wi.
mona, when the Russian was missed.
THIS makes six men drowned in this vi
cinity this winter.
