Mrs. Keefer's Lecture.

Although the evening was dark and
walks muddy, a large number of people
were out to hear Mrs. Bessie Keefer in
her second lecture Saturday evening at
the M. E. church. 1t isnot possible to give
anything like a review of this very in
teresting and newly presented lecture
new in the way of considering the SUBJ
.ject of intemperance.
She believes in education and the
creation of a moral sentiment behind the
amendment to make the p%rohibitory law
effective. She spared none in the course
of her remarks, and spoke for about
two hours and a half. Probably Mark
Twain would say it was "the muchness''
that he objected to, but the 'howness''
fully made up for the exceptional
length.
She is a pleasant speaker, a vigorous
talker, and certainly an independent
thinker. Should she come this way
again, she will doubtless have a large
audience to greet her.
Interesting Letter From Col. Lounsberry.
In a letter to an old Bismarck friend,
under date of Olympia, Wash, March
18th, Colonel Lounsberry writes:
"sHave just returned from Colorado and
southern California. At San Diego I
met Chas. and Mrs. Louis, Chas. and
Mrs. Frede, Colonel Otis and other old
Bismarckers. Louis has gone to Paris
and from there goes to South America.
Nappy is a fine looking young man and
is bell-boy at the Brewster. At Los
Angeles I met DR.. and Mrs. Bentley,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. McNider, Mrs. Col.
Brown and Harry, Major Woods and
daughter, Jud. LaMoure, Colonel
Thompson, Capt. M L.. Mccormack,
Capt Alex. Griggs and others. At San
Francisco, at Sacramento, at Durango
and elsewhere I have met old time Bis
marckers and Dakotans and at Tacoma
I find I am as we'll acquainted as at
Fargo, and the same at Seattle and here
in 'Olympia there are many familiar
faces. The weather is delightful. The
ground hasn't been frozen here at all
during the winter and roses we're in
bloom until after Christmas. The
gardens are o being planted. At San
Diego strawberries were ripe, and I
picked ripe tomatoes and flowers of
every kind. Last years watermellons
still lie in the fields. There was no
frost during the winter.
I sent in my resignation February,
18th, and shall get away as soon as I
can. I'll never rest until I get back into
newspaper work again, but I don't know
where I'll strike in. I must have
travelled over 10000 miles since I was in
Bismarck last"

The Land-Seekers.

from Wednesdays Daily.]
The party Of land-seekers whom John
Yegen piloted through the northern part
of the county returned to the city yes
terday and left on No. 4 for their homes
in southern Iowa. They went as far
porth as Grass Lake, and although Mr..
Yegen urged them to see more of the
country, they said they had seer enough
to convince them that they could find no
better place to locate a colony than on
the Missouri slope. AS n of the gentle
men expressed it. "If we cannot locate
settlers here, we cannot locate them
anywhere" Mr.. Y~eHen-who Blythe
way, is one of the best men to take ont
a prospecting party-took them up the
river road, and showed them that the
only piece of rough land in the county
was a strip along the river. After he
turned up on the prairie the party be-
cam as enthusiastic over the beauties
of the country as the most pronounced
boomer could wish. They were shown
the immense growth of stubble
standing on the ground, and being prac-
teal farmers they could easily realize
the size of the grain and the yield grown
upon these fields. They talked with the
farmers of northern Burleigh and were
given practical illustrations of what poor
mon have accomplished for themselves
by careful and industrious farming
operations in this county. They we're
shown a coal view, and we're told of the
inexhaustible quantities of Ignite, how
easy it was to mine, and the probable
cost where people had to buy it. Said
Mr.. Yegen last night: "These gentle
men are strangers to me, but I am con
fdent they mean business. They say
they can locate 1000 people-some are
from southern Iowa and the balance
will come from Germany. MI. Blom-
quist wanted the party to 60 to Edgeley
from here and look over the country
there, but they told him it was useless
to look further, and 1 think they will go
straight home and make a report favora-
BILE to this section. I cannot vouch for
anything except that the party were
more than we'll pleased with the Mis-
souri, slope country"

CT Interest to Wheat Growers.

u Interest to Wheat Grower
Grand Forks Herald: President Walsh
Of the North Dakota railroad and ware.
house commission, is compiling a statis-
tical statement giving the comparative
prices Of wheat per bushel in Grand
Forks, Duluth and Liverpool on the
same day from April, 1884, to December
81, 1891. 1t is the commissions inten-
ton to show by this report the immense
lose the farmers of North Dakota are
sustaining yearly from the fact that
they do not W their own elevators and
Deal the total expense of laying grain
down at the European markets. As an il
lustration of the character of the report
let it be noted that on October 8, 1891
the price of wheat in Grand Forks was
81 cents, and the freight rate to Duluth
IL cents. The elevator charges in Grand
Forks were l cent per bushel and the
elevator charges in Duluth l cent. The
freight rate from Duluth to New York
was 81 per bushel. The insurance on a
bushel of wheat from Grand Forks to
London was III cent, the elevator
charges in New York and London IL
and the ocean freight from New York to
London II cents, making the total cost
of transportation of a bushel of wheat on
that date to the European market exactly
$1.164. On the same date the price of
wheat per bushel in London was Sl.41,
making a difference of 244 cents per
bushel against North Dakota wheat,
thus giving the elevator companies and
shippers who handle the wheat a profit
per bushel of 244 cents. ..,
President Walsh reasons that this re-
port will show the farmer-the pro-
ducers-of North Dakota very conclus
lively just what their grain is worth,
what the profit under the presen-
method of transportation to the mar
ket is, and just who are sharing this
profit. He says it will convince the
farmers that they should take ,immedit
ate steps to re-establish the system of
wheat market control, that they may be
the gamers.
Mr.. Walsh's report will demonstrate
fully the great benefits to be derived by
the farmers in this connection. 1t will
also show that the farmers can afford
to build and maintain their own eleva-
tors throughout the state and there
hold their gram until the European
market is i'll great demand, then ship
their grain direct attheir own expense
and reap the full profits Of their labor
and investment.

The Democrats Return.

J. E. Campbell Of Morton, and Joseph
Hare of Burleigh, returned yesterday
from the democratic state convention at
Grand Forks, covered with honors-
Campbell a delegate and Hare an alter
nate to the Chicago convention. The
scheme allowing one delegate from each
judicial district was opposed by Tracy
Bangs of Grand Forks and others. It is
said that Mr.. Bangs, in opposing said:
"rhe Missouri slope wants a delegate.
Where is the Missouri slope? The devil
himself don't know" to which Mr..
Campbell replied: "We admit that the
devil is better posted about Grand Forks,
but we are going to have one of the dele
gates just the same" and Campbell won
got the plum himself. The delegates
from each district caucussed among
themselves and it is said Captain Braith-
waite would not stand by the caucus
nominee from this district. The senti-
ment of the convention was decidedly
for Cleveland and the delegates we're so
instructed. The delegates selected were:
alternate, W. }. Mooney, Langdon.
Second-J. OBrien. Devils Lake; alter
nate. Col. John Ely, McIIenry.
Third-E. T. Cole, Fargo; alternate, Budd
Reeves, Buxton.

nate. J. A. T. Bjornson, Ashley.
Flfth-A. Blewett, Jamestown; alternate,
John Russell, Valley City.
SIXTH. E. Campbell. Mandan; alter
nate, Jos. Hare, Bismarck.
After the convention the state central
committee met and fixed tn, date for
the convention for the nomination Of
state officers for July 14th, at Fargo.
The representation will be one delegate
at large from each county and one vote
for every 100 votes cast for congressman.

A Militia Company Refuses to De-
fenO the Jail
Smith Tooley and John L. Adams, alias
Totch, were hanged few nights ago about
twenty minutes past twelve o'clock in the
courthouse yard at Vickspurg, Miss, by a
mob of fully 700 white citizens. The War
rem Light Artillery declined to defend the
jail and the crowd had no resistance. Tooley
was found alone in his cell and was knocked
down and taken out into the street in front
of the Jail, where he was cross-questioned.
Meantime, Adams was brought out
Henry Adams, brother Of the murdered
man, pleaded with the avengers, but in
vain. Tooley was taken over to the court
house and finally to the court room, in
which were 500 people. Here the examina-
tion was resumed. Both wers cool. The
people finally grew weary of the fruitless
examination and rush was made down
stairs with the prisoners. Both were then
hanged.
Their crime was the murder of Mr.. Benson
Blake, planter and merchant, at Redwood
the elimination of thirteen robberies and
assassinations within the past twelve months.

Transportation being means of ex-

Of the people.
The land, including all the natural sources
Of wealth, is the heritage of all the people

owned by aliens should be reclaimed by the
Government and held for actual settlers
