We are informed by Mr.. Campbell,
of Yuma, chairman of the democratic
judicial committee, that the democrats
Of that county, Ms n party, are support
ing Granville Pendleton for district at
torney as against Quitman Brown the
independent candidate. This fact
shows how the two candidates are re-
garded by the voters Of their own
county. When the democrats will sup
port straight republican for an Office
Of that kind in preference to man
who has heretofore trained with their
party and who still leans strongly
toward that party, it shows plainly
that the republican candidate is con-
sidered as far the most preferable can
didate for the Office by the voters Of
the county who should be well ac.
quainted with both men. Granville
Pendleton will be his own successor in
the Office Of district attorney.

A Faithful Animal.

Miles City Journal: A noteworthy in
cident of the display of dog sense came to
our notice yesterday. A dog owned in
Bismarck, n. D., had under the weight of
years become somewhat of burden to his
owner, who, to get rid OF him, adopted the
expedient of sending him as present to
Mail Clerk Van OsdeI, of this place, and
he was accordingly placed in charge of
Mail Clerk Shepby, who brought him
through and delivered him to the con-
signee. Van, perceiving the JOB, put a tag
on the dog with the inscription Though |
am old do not desert faithful servant"
and re-shipped to his former owner on the
next train. Through some carelessness,
the dog was permitted to get off the train
at Terry and left there. There it was
thought his history closed so far as any
previous owner was concerned, but after
a few days his dogship turned up again at
Bismarck, very little the worse for his trip
of 25O miles. We are pleased to be able to
add that his owner welcomed him home.
and in recognition Of his intelligence, will
give him home for the rest of his days.

Another River Craft.

1t seems to be getting quite the proper
caper for Montana people to try the all
river route TOR st. Louis and other south
ern points. The latest addition is thus de-
scrbed by the Miles City Journal: "We
yesterday had the honor of seeing the
"Petrel," the craft to be piloted down the
river to st. Louis by Lou Bruning in the
early part of July. The dimensions of the
craft are 14x3 feet and is very strongly
built, with seating capacity of at least
least four good sized men. The doctor is
well pleased with the construction of his
vessel and is eager for the day to come
when he will leave the foot of Main street
on Tongue river in his vessel for the
pleasant, though dangerous trip he has
planned. The launching of the "Petrep'
will probably take place to-day or to-mor-
row with all the ceremonies that were
ever accorded the largest man-of-war that
first dipped its keel into the briny deep.
The doctor has accorded us an invitation
to take sail with him some time before
he starts, which will be gladly accepted

Regarding Public Lands,

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Acting Sec
rotary Chandler approved circular let
ter to registers and receivers prepared by
commissioners of the general land office.
prescribing rules and regulations for
making selections of land in the states of
Montana, North and South Dakota and
Washington, under grants made to these
states under the enabling act of Feb
ruary o. 1890. In addition to the grant
to each of these states of 18th and 36th
sections, there is also granted to each for
various educational purposes 100000
acres and $4,000 for the erection Of
public buildings at the several state capi-
tails: The act of March 2, 1881, granting,
lands for penitentiary purposes 70 South
Dakota is extended and made applicable
to Montana, North Dakota and Washing

Famous MenlFrom the State Who will
Settle in Washington.
Seattle Telegraph: Hon. Judson La
Moure of Pembina, N. D.. and Captain Al
exander Griggs of Grand Forks, N. D., are
among the prominent visitors in the city.
No two men have had more to do with
making history IN Dakota territory than
these. They were among the very first
white men to settle north of the Forty sixth
standard, the line upon which the r'itory
was divided. Mr.. LaMoure proved up on
the first government claim in the northern
half, and Captain Griegs follow ed close in
pany in navigating the great Red River of
the North. They have both been at the
front in politics and all commercial enter
prises there for more than twenty years
and still hold leading positions. Captain
Griggs was for two terms chairman Ut the
state railroad commission, while Mr.. La.
Moure has been member of the legisla-
ture for fifteen or more years.
OF the latter it is told that on one &C.
caslon, when chairman of the railroad
committee of the territorial council during
some session in the dim past. he had with
stood the opportunities of the railroad
lobby for weeks. Finally two of its repre-
pleading some particular piece of legisla-
ton, but just as persistently steered clear
of "business"-never once mentioning the
influence which an old tradition alleges
makes the mare go. JUDI as he is famil
iarly called, growing tired of this long
preliminary skirmish, stretched himself
out upon a sofa, closed his eyes and casu-
ally remarked:
Boys, just wake me up when you sign
the checks"
This expression, with all its wealth of
meaning, has become political text
throughout the length Of the Missouri and
Mississippi valleys and made Its author IA
nous. Mr.. LaMoure is noted for being one
of the best poker players in America, and
Captain Grggs is no mean understudy.
These gentlemen are known to be init
mate personal, political and business
friends of President James Hill of the
Great Northern, and have been for dec
ade past. Mr.. LaMoure has decided to
leave Dakota and engage in business some
where along the line of the Great Northern
extension, as a partner OF Mr.. Griggs.
Though, of course, they admit nothing, it
is a safe bet to gamble that Port Gardner
is where they will locate and are here now
for some such purpose.

Increase in the Area us Compared with

Increase In the Area as Compared with
the Breadth Harvested Last Year.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-The report OF
the statistician OF the department of
agriculture, makes the area in winter
wheat as compared with the breadth Lar
vested last year Ills; spring wheat,
1884; barley, 1911; rye, l01.5; oats. 96.6.
The condition: Winter wheat, 966;
spring wheat, 92.6; barley, 90.3; rye, 95.4;
oats, IS. In comparison with 1889 the
increase in the wheat acreage is quite
moderate. A reduction last year of
more than two million acres suggests a
reason for most of the present increase.
This advance is therefore both replace
ment and Development the former, notably
in Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Cali
fornia; the latter in less degree in Wash
ington, Oregon, the Dakotas and in sew
eral territories. These violent huctua-
tions make the investigation difficult
and districts will render necessary sup
Elementary work. To some extent the
present estimates may be considered
preliminary. The extension of acreage,
according to our correspondents, de-
ponds on the price of wheat and not on
available land. The large increment of
the wheat breadth is reported in Wash
ington, 1.-The large amount of new land
is being broken for the next years CROP"
and the local opinion is expressed that
not more than one-ffth of the wheat land
of that new state is under cultivation.
The first monthly statement of averages
of spring wheat makes Wisconsin, II;
Minnesota, 80; Iowa, IS; Nebraska, 81;
the Dakotas, &c. Early sown wheat was
injured by frost in Wisconsin and Min

drought in the same region. In South
Dakota drought has retarded the growth.
The conditions have been more favorable
generally in North Dakota.

The Meaning of Gag"

The New York Recorder has undertaken
to explain the meaning OF the word Jag
and after exhausting Webster and other we'll
known authorities comes to the conclusion
that they are all wrong in giving it the
definition of a ''Small load" Reason cries
out that they are widely astray, since it is
we'll known to everybody who has ever OBJ
served man with jag that he has very
large load on board
singular and interesting psychological eff
fects upon the man who carries it. When
he first assumes the burden he is as bold as
a lion and fears nothing. He will boot at
a policeman mile high, dodge about
with mastery ability among swiftly NOV
ing trucks which strike terror to the heart
of the jagless man, and he will leap over
gates that would be his despair when he
bore no handicap. None so great as he,
yet none SO light and airy! All the world
is his friend and he is friend to all the
world. He clasps the stranger to his heart
as if the two were long separated brothers..
Such are the earliest psychological effects
produced by the pressure OF the jag.
Then comes what the great Pantarch
opposites:" As the man with the jag on
carries dis burden to the place where its
influence is finally to sease. all things
change. Instead OF being his friend every
man becomes his enemy. and of all he
grows suspicious No longer can he jump
over four-foot.gate, but, singular to OBJ
serve. he connot step over doorsill with

over the doorsill and into his wife's

given out for publication. The jag then
turns to secret society with the goat
turned loose.

State Ticket.

State Ticket.
Dies MONIES, Ia, June 10.-The prohi-
bition state convention this afternoon
adopted platform and nominated full
state ticket. The platform adopted is
long and complicated. It tavors straight
out prohibition and unlimited coinage of
silver; the Australian ballot reform;
state constabulary to enforce pro hibi-
ton and the immediate adjustment of
the whole United States internal revenue
system, since it's operation is to epcour-
age, by recognizing, the liquor traffic.
There was considerable discussion over
this reform, but it was finally adopted as
the whole. The candidates are as fol-
lows: Governor, Isaac T. Gibson, Sa-
lem; acknowledgements, j. G. Little,
Perry; superintendent OF public in
struction, Mrs. M. H. Durham, Bur-
lington; railroad commissioner, c. F.
Hart, Coyne; supreme Judge, J. B. Tur-
ney, Bennett. The action of the peo-
pies party in lodging the prohibition
issue, in both the Cincinnati and the
Des Moines platforms, was commented
upon and denounced.

was watching game of poker once at
Helena, Mont. says writer in the Detroit
Free Press. The players were gambler
(whom knew slightly and who bore the
sobriquet of Lucky Bi'r') and two miners
Suddenly, after the hands were dealt and
the players had "chipped in" and drawn
cards, Lucky Bill with perfect calmness
and not so much as sha0Ow of a change
in the expression of his face, laid his cards
on the table, took note book from his
pocket, and deliberately wrote few words.
Then he tore out the leaf and handed it to
me.
"Look at that when you get home to-
night.'
His voice was steady and did not betray
a particle of excitement. | thrust the
paper almlesSly into my pocket and gave
the matter hardly second Thought.
The play progressed. Lucky Bill's face
was unyielding as stone and entirely in:
ever, and his vigiant eye did not miss the
slightest move on the part of the other
players. He was typical gambler and
one of the most successful of his guild.
Hence his sobriQuet.
AT last there was an alteration between
the two miners. Hot words ensued and
revolvers were drawn. Some of the by
the scuffie that followed, heard the sharp
whistle and spring of a bullet. Lucky Bill
(his good star in the descendant) fell 10
the floor and expired without groan. He
had been killed by the accidental discharge
of pistol in the hands of one of the
miners.
