BAL MASQUE |
The Leap Year Ball at Idlewild the
Growing Social Event OF
the Season.
A Great Crowd. A Great Dance. 4
Great Success.

Tho leap year ball, rs anticipated,
proved decidedly the most enjoyable
aud the most highly successful social
affair since those traditional days when
Port Gibson set the fashion in oil that
was proper and becoming. When tho
young ladies attempt thing Of this
kind failure is out of the question.
That memories Of other events remain
III at least the outer edge of the pc
numbra of the social mind should be
no discouragenenl to the young men,
however; for 1t must be remembered
the weaker sex have four round years
TO recuperate aud store mp strength
for another single dash, and ii is no
wonder they excel.
Wednesday evening was an ideal
ono. II was just cold enough to make
dancing pleasant A slight defect in
the management of the carriages made
a great number Of tho guests late in
arriving-some so late, in fact, that
they haven't arrived yet-and dancing
did not begin until far beyond the ex-
pccted time. AS usual, Idlewild was
in shape for entertaining in the most
hospitablc way. The spacious double
parlors afforded ample room for pro-
menaders, lcte-a-tetcs, anu lookers-on
(at tho tctc-a-teles) while the hall was
devoted exclusively TO dancing. Ev-
ergrccns, mosscs and ferns artisticaliy
decorated the walls and chandeliers.
and were banked OH the mantle-picccs
and about the foot of mirrors. Every
room was brilliantly Illuminated. The
guests were of course masked. The
fancy costumes, the inspiring music,
the bright lights and brighter eyes, the
exhilarating dance, the crowds Of pro-
nenadcrS, presented scene OF men
tai splendor.
At one o'clock the dining rooms
were opened. An elegant supper was
erycd.
The costumes were most magnifi-
cent. II was the purpose of the REv-
gILLE 10 describe them in detail, a
mere mention Of the character present

the long list viii be sufficient to show
the hopclcssncss Of the task. OF course
some people looked better than others.
There must have been some ono apret-

The Butte Miner emphasizes the fact
that the silver question is particularly
of local Importance and free coinage
especially desired by Montana in the
following: "The Bismarck TRIBUNE,
which is published at the capital of
North Dakota, thinks that the Miner at
taches too much Importance to the
silver question. If the high-browed,
housekeeping and high-esteemed editor
of the TRIBUNE will come to Butte and
see the silver mines and mills that have
been silenced and the hundreds of men
who are idle through the operation of
the republican silver law, it will realize
how vital and all-absorbinR is the issue
in this great state of Montana"

THERE is an iron craze at Duluth, but
it will result in a great many eating
hurt. It would be far better to invest
in North Dakota farm lands and live
stock. Speaking of this matter the
Fargo Argus says: 1.-THE iron trade is
absolutely dead and stagnant from over
production of ore, aud still the Duluth
crowd are going crazy and investing
millions in the stocks of new companies
organized to work newly discovered from
mines. 1t will be a good many years
before these new mines can be operated
except at a loss, and the chaps who buy
the stocks on the present boom are
liable to get left"

HENRY CLEws' Weekly Review de-
clares that the outflow of gold, consid-
ering our almost unprecedented excess
of exports over imports during the last
few months, is difficult to explain. The
position of silver legislation is largely
responsible. "Our silver policy. says
the Review, not only so much of it as is
already exacted but also the worse
phases that are deemed possible in the
future, has the double effect of infnenc-
ing the return of our securities from
abroad, and of preventing new invest
ments in our railroad and industrial en-
terprises; which works to the disad.
vantage of our foreign financial bal
ance."

CONSIDERABLE interest is being mani
tested in a proposed new railroad from
Fargo1 northwest. to Devils Lake, and
Lieutenant Creel of Devils Lake is
consulting business men in Fargo, and
along the route regarding the advisa-
bility of pushing the enterprise. 1t is
said there are several heavy eastern
capitalists back of the enterprise. This
reminds us that the 500 line has a grade
completed TO Bismarck-not a mere
survey-but a genuine grade, which.
needing only slight repairing, is ready
for the. ties and iron. Will that line be
built to Bismarck this year? If not it
will not be because of lack of money.
The company has oil the money neces.
sary-or rather has the means of get
ting it. 1t is believed, and men who
ought to know declare that it will be
ironed to Bismarck this season in time
to move the heavy crop that is again
promised along the line.

railroad limits when the presumption law
has been repealed. That resolution was
only incidental simply attached to one
of more Importance regarding the arid
lands. The minimum price for govern
mont land inside the railroad land grant
limit is $3.50 an acre and outside it is
$1.5 an acre. To be sure the pre-emp-
ton law has been repealed, still there is
a clause in the new law wich gives the
homesteader the right to pay
for his land at any time after
the expiration Of fourteen months from
the date OF entry, the minimum
price-which is now $3.50 an acre. The
resolution of the chamber OF commerce
favors the reduction of that minimum
price to s1.@ an acre, the same as out
side the limits. It may be argued that
it is better not to provide an easy way to
gain title-better to oblige the settler to
remain on his land the statuary time and
obtain it free-but the fact remains that
outside the land grBnt limit where gov
eminent land is and has been but Sl.25
al acre there is less speculation than in
side the limit. Every settler is DESTROYS
of obtaining absolute title to his land as
soon as possible and it does not follow
that the reduction of the minimum price
of government land inside the land
grant limi4 to $1.& an acre would in
crease speculation. =

If the sensational Washington CORES
pondents will write of s'war in the North
Dakota delegation at Washington in
stead Of "row between the republican
factions in the state" they will write
about something they know more about.
North Dakota republicans are having no
row. The party was never in better
harmony. 1t intends to continue ON
that line. It does not intend to court
disaster by attempting to vindicate
somebody. 1t is not IN the vindicate
business. 1t is not gazing at the past
but it is looking to the future. It pro-
poses to draw a red line. Mistakes of
the past will afford no excuse for mis-
takes in the future. The republican
party of North Dakota is right here
doing business at the old stand, peace
fully, quietly and successfully. Wash
ington newspaper fiction will be teller
ated, but not needed.

Gratis had majorities in the boards OF
supervisors of twelve of these counties,
the republicans had majorities in twenty
three, and in five the boards were evenly
divided between the two parties. To-day
the democrats have majorities in the
boards of only four counties, the repub-
licans have majorities in thirty-three,
and in three the boards are evenly
divided. Out OF a total OF 1852 s~upervis-
ors which they had a year ago, the demo-
Gratis have lost n%inety-nine, or twenty
eight per cent. of the whole. The loss of
eight counties out of tweleve is a loss of
66 per cent" With such changes
as that it would seem to be an easy
matter for the republicans to carry the
state.

p%ortunity to belittle him by sending out

President Harrison that he. (Harrison)
cannot have the delegation from North
Dakota without his Johnson's) assist

Fargo Argus 18th: F. G. Barry, q
travelling man on one Of the Great
Northern passenger trains out of Grand
Forks, said that a pathetic right met the
gaze of the passengers between Mimic
aud Ardock. A team of horses were
seen lying by the track, frozen, but it
wa thought the man was all right, as
he was sitting bolt upright in his wagon.
He was frozen, however, and so stiff that
he was immovable. There were quite a
number collected about and the train
did not stop.
1t will be remembered that the Min

against the admission to the public

Friendless because of their questionable
p%arentage, and two girls, then going to

a member of the church, we're expelled.

cussion pro and con and was the subject

conclusion the speaker said that one of

The storm Of Tuesday was thu most
severe jamestown has experienced for
~years-since the Cyclone that demolished
the mill. The Gladstone hotel was
damaged considerably, The front Of
the portion of the hotel in which is To-
Gated the Office was sprung loose and
gave q couple of inches. The wind
moved the entire front perceptibly. The
p%lastering in the front rooms on both
second and third floors was demolished
to some extent. Two of the chimneys
of the brick building were blown down.
One of them fell through a sky light in
the rear of the hotel and knocked the
plastering off Of the ceiling of the cloth
ing store Of We'll Bros. Bricks and
debris fell on two tables of hats and
literally smashed the headgear. In ad-
dition to this damage, the wind blew out
one Of the plate glass windows in the
front Of the store room and wet a good
many articles on display. The glass had
been previously cracked, and was unable
to stand the strain.

e THIS SPRING.

Farmer Wallace takes up considerable
space in this issue with a timely letter
full of valuable suggestions-on North
Dakota's exhibit at the Worlds Fair.
The writer has had experience at dozens
of county and state fairs, and two worlds
fsris, and is abundantly able to make
suggestions on the successful manage
ment Of a state exhibit at the Columbian
Exposition. The main point which he
makes-and it is a vital one-is that
if this state is going to exhibit it's
agricultural products at the fair, work
must be commenced at once-this
month in fact-by the farmers and
others interested in agricultural pur-
suits. As the fair begins in May, 1893,
the agricultural exhibit from this state
must be grown this year, and the seed
must be planted this spring. Each
farmer should say to himself, II am
going to raise something for the Worlds
Fair and accordingly plant and cult
vate anything he decides upon, with
that end in view. At the end of the
season, If he has good success with his
product, he can send it to the state
Worlds Fair commissioners, who will
accord it a place in the state exhibit il
found meritorious.
Farmer Wallace rightly says that the
success or failure of the state exhibit lies
with the people, and the state press
should take this matter up and i'm
press upon the farmers the Importance
of planting something for the fair this

Bland silver bill on March 22d. The
vote on this question showed the pre-
ponderance OF free coinage sentiment.
It is noteu that Congressman johnson
voted with the free coinage men on the
consideration proposition, but he will
undoubtedly vote the sentiment of his
constituents against free coinage when
the question up.
