ment Wednesday, my ticket was Blain,
and Cleveland, I will say that I am TO,
it for the reason that I think Blaine
would hardly last out his term, and the1
we would be sure Of a democratic presi
dent. See?

Pierre Capital: Up to the present the
river at this point has shown no signs Of
rising. This time last year it was be-
tween six and seven feet above low
water mark and continued high, varying
from six to ten feet from that time up to
the first of July. On account of the
cool spring experienced the rise will be
later than usual.

Stanton Pilot: The Mandan Pioneer
threatens to the capital from Bis
marck to the Red River valley all on &C.
count of the shabby treatment of the
West Missouri delegation at Grand
Forks. We hope that the Pioneer will
reconsider the hasty decree issued
against the wicked city as the Missouri
slope must hold to what they have got
and reach for more.
H. w. Bates: Prospects in Dickinson
are excellent. 1t is seldom you see
fewer than six teams, laden with wheat,
on the streets. A number of houses are
in course of construction, and the town
is CALMING a good solid growth. OF
course, had not the spring been so wet
and backward, the wheat acreage would
have been extraordinarily large, but as
it is the acreage is, 1 think, almost as
great as the average.
Observer Fallon: I have Just been
figuring up the amount Of work that has
been done at this office since the organi-
cation Of the state weather service, and
I find that there have been 1901 circu-
lar letters, 1885 monthly weather
bulletins and 1850 weekly crop reports
issued. A total of 1896, and this repre-.
sents ll,lS1 separate impressions, as each
Of these weather and crop reports con-
tains several pages.
Emmons County Record: There will
be a social gathering at the Glencoe
church on June 8, to which every one is
invited. Fancy articles will be sold for
the benefit of the church. Father Sloan,
in his pleasant and interesting way, will
relate his experience at the battle of
Gettysburg, which is sure to be very in
teresting and instructive. Father Sloan
was with Mcclellan during and after his
peninsular campaign.
August Dohoman, the young man
who shot himself through the lower jaw,
in a supposed attempt at suicide, was
brought to the city Friday by Sheriff
Eonnelly, pronounced insane by the
board of insanity, and taken to James,
town last night. Mr.. Donnelly says
Dohoman asked him to take him (Do-
homan) out anG shoot him, and that he
would never give him away if he would
do it. It is a sad case.
Sioux City Journal: The Missouri
river has commenced to recede again
and is carrying with it great chunks Of
Covington and Stanton realty. The
bank has been falling in all along the
river front during the past few days. In
Covington it has been necessary to move
the Handkerchief buildings back from
the river, and the white house annex
will have to be moved in a day or SO if
the encroachments continue.

shape. Besides the hall, there is to be a
banquet room, ante-room and closets, all
conveniently arranged and nicely fitted
up for social purposes.
George Walsh: I deny the statement
sent out over the wires a few days ago
that I vas going. to introduce an ele-
vator bill in this session. l am trying
to enforce the law as I find it. My ex-
perlence has shown me that the present
law is defective in many particulars and
should be amended, but it is for the leg
islature to take this matter in charge,
not me. If any person wants any point
ers on the law 60 to W annual report.
The crop prospects for the state are
becoming encouraging. The Mayville
Tribune says that thousands of acres of
