North Dakota Is Booming in a
Healthy Way.


Healthy Way.
Gen. Harrison Allen and Mai. Ed
wards, of the Fargo Forum. headed a
North Dakota delegation in st. Paul
yesterday. Gen. Allen LETT on an even
ing train for Chicago and the East, where
he will remain for several weeks on
business while Maj. Edwards will fig
ure on the senatorial contest in North
Dakota from the safe vantage ground of
the Merchants for the next few days.
Gen. Allen is enthusiastic over
the condition of things in North
Dakota, and is not one of
those who believes that North Dakota
is sure to go to the demnition boW-Wows
because Farmer Shotridge was elected
governor.
'.The price of wheat is too low to
make the farmers feel happy" said
Gen. Allen. "Dut they are in good con-
dition to feel so if we get a fair crop
next year. The threshing was out of
the way in good season, and a vast
amount of ploWing for next years crop
has been done-mOre than ever known
before. You know the wet weather a
year ago prevented plowing, and so had q
bad influence on this years crop. Both
Fargo and Grand Forks are thriving.
Business is good in both. In Fargo
there is not all empty house, and a solid
and conservative growth seems to be
going on. Grand Forks is a beautiful
town, with many blocks and buildings
that would be credit to any large

MooRHEAD, Nov. 30.-Rev. f. N. Ia
briskie, of Manhaset, n. Y, who has
been filing the pulpit of the Presbyte-
rian church of this city for the last two
Sundays, accomplished a wonderful
deed last Sunday morning. The church
was in debt S679, and Mr.. Zabriskie un-
dertook to raise the money at the morn
ing service. A large blackboard was
placed in front of the church, and on
the board the debt was stated in figures.
These were placed III columns of six
rows of figures, the highest being $50,
the next S25, then so. So, 81 and 81.
The whole, when added, amounted to
the total, debt. The minister made
touching appeal, and asked every one to
subscribe, and. as the subscriptions
were called off, the corresponding
amounts OH the blackboard were erased.
The total amount subscribed was S701.

NOT BEFORE OCTOBER.
Congressman Believe No Early
Extra Session Will Be Called.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-The belief is
growing among congressman and sena-
tors i'll this city that if an extra session
is to be held at all 1t will not be called
at the early part of the year 1893. Even
those favoring an extra session are
gradually forming the opinion that it
will not begin sooner than Oct. next,
and will practically form part of the
regular session. which will open, ac-
cording to law, OH the first Monday in
December.
Offieeholders under the Republican
senate are naturally somewhat anxious
as to the political complexion of that
body i'll the Fifty-third congress, and
some of them are still figuring upon a
possible Republican majority. They are
claiming 43 Democrats and Populists
and 10 Republicans. More reliable
figures, however, appear to be 43 Demo
Gratis, al Republicans and Populists,
WHO will probably act with the Demo
Gratis.

CABINET GOSSIP.

Department..

Department.
NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-A morning pa
per says: Mr.. Fairchlld is to go into the
cabinet again, and he will be the only
member of the cabinet from the Empire
state. Mr.. Whitney will not go into the
cabinet, and, while there has been talk
that Col. Dan S. Lamont might be secre-
tary of the interior, it is understood that
he has not yet been able to see his way
clear to abandoning his interests in this
city.
LAS a matter of fact" said a close
friend of Mr.. Whitney, 'there has got
TO be member of the cabinet from New
England, Illinois and Wisconsin. These
are doubtful states and have to be looked
after. Ohio certainly deserves some
announcement and Indiana surely looks
for place. The South will want at
least two cabinet positions, but will
only get one, and | think Mr. Harrity
will go into the cabinet from Pennsyl-
vania. That about fills all the holes,
yet the states between the Missouri and
the Rocky mountains should have some
recognition and so should the Pacific
coast. In view of all this" concluded
Mr.. Whitney's friend, Il think the
treasury portfolio the only one to go to
the Empire State.'
The mugwumps will be highly
pleased to know that Mr.. Fairchild is to
be secretary of the treasury. He has

SOUTH DAKOTA LAWMAKERS.
What They Will Do a Topic of
Interest

PIERRE, S. D., Nov. 3o.-Within
few weeks the South Dakota legislature
will again be in session, and what it
will do is now a topic of interest. One of
the principal questions will be the re-
submission of the prohibltory clause OF
the state constitution. The coal famine
and grain bockades throughout the
state at the present time may result In
drastic legislation. although strong
effort will be made to prevent any in
terference with railroads, for fear of its
interfering with developments in that
line next year. There is strong de-
mand for changes in the revenue law,
which will compel telegraph, telephone
and express companies to bear more
equal share of the burden OF taxation
than they do under the law as it is at
present. The Independents may also
bring up the usury question again, but
its day of Importance is past.

took place. is unconstitutional. because
it prevents a free and untramm2led
ballot. Electors cannot vote for any
one they please. but must be bound by
the decree of one of four parties. This
is clearly unconstitutional according to
his view. The governor referred the
matter to the attorney general, but
nothing can be done, and Mr.. Wasson's
only hope is to mandamus the secretary
Of state. He says he will axe the case
to the supreme court and fight it out.

COLUMBIA, 5. c.. Nov. 3O.-One of

was made that the members of the leg

boozled'' by the presentation of free
passes. and that railroads had made
them. When Tillman came into power
the authorities used their own weapon.
against them. and secured the passage
of bill prohibiting the acceptance of
free passes by legislators and state Off
GERS. Now their cry is, Repeal the
law, and on with free passes" The
administration organ today sounded the
cry. and Representative Duncan intro
duced such a bill in the house. The
chances are that it will pass.

MUCH PROPERTY INVOLVED.
Titles to Valuable Los Angeles
Realty Attacked.

Los ANGELES. CAL. Nov. S0.-Mrs.
Adelia Freeman, living in San Diego.
has filed a suit here in which she sets up
claim to sl,5O0,0OO worth of property and
makes sixty-two persons more or less
prominent in the city, defendants. She
claims to be the legitimate child of Gas
ton Oxart, basque Frenchman who
died in this city in 1888, leaving the
property in question. After Oxart died.
one Simon P. Gless appeared i'll court
and offered for probate what purported
to be the will of the deceased, in which
the entire estate was devised to him.
Mrs. Freeman was not then living
with her father, and. though she
attempted to secure footing in court,
failed to do so through the fault OF her
lawyer. Since the estate has been dis
tributed, various pieces of the property
have passed into the hands of people
who have paid value for them, without
any knowledge of this heir, and since
none of them have held adverse posses
