to Mr.. Doran as the 'sboss." A careful
examination of the Democratic papers o
the state fails to reveal the presence o
the people who are in revolt. There Ii
no call to arms, no declarations OF indie
pendence, no pronunciamentos agalns
the wicked boss, except in the columns
of the Minneapolis Times. We conclude
then, that the revolt is confined strictly
to that office, and that the editor or pro
prietor of that paper is the people.
During Mr.. Cleveland's first administra'
ton the major part Of the appointments
in this state were made on Mr.. Doran'a
recommendation, and in no single ln-
stance that we have heard of was there
mistake made. All the officers ap'
pointed were clean, honest men, who
made excellent records for themselves and
the Democratic party. Such being the
case, it is but natural that MIR. Cleveland
should continue to repose confidence in
the man who was so careful and discrim-
mating before. And his confidence is
we'll placed. Mr.. Doran will not abuse
it. Those who are dogging him are either
Republicans or disappointed Democrats
whom, for good reasons, Mr.. Doran can
not recommend as fit men to hold office.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
A dispatch from Sioux Falls says that
Charles Boy one OF the most prominent
men in the county, and member OF the
recent legislature, died last Sunday night
of lockjaw. Two weeks ago Mr. Boy
was blasting rock ON his place four miles
south of Hartford. He had put in and
fred a charge which did not go off. Mr..
Boy started to remove the charge to re-
place it, when small explosion occurred,
inaicting painful but not apparently seri-
GUS injury to his left-hand fingers and
thumb. He paid little attention to- it
until Friday, when his jew became sore,
and he summoned a physician. Nothing
could be done to saws his life.

Miss Kate Dwyer, of Napoleon, picked
up curiosity on the pralriesthe other
day in the shape of petrifed knife.
The handle, blade and even the rivet can
be plainly distinguished as different
parts, and are of uniform size.
Says the Argus: In the vicinity Of
Fargo seeding is we'll under way. Many
of the big farmers are half through with
their work, while number of the sna aller
ones have finished. Others, though, on
land that was covered with water during
the spring frsshet, are justiJgetting
started. The soil is in excellent coudi-
tion. the ground having been thorougly
soaked with moisture. Once in the
ground, the crop promises to come up
rapidly. The acreage Of wheat will be
about the same or trif1e less than last
year. The grangers are beginning to see
the advisability of sowing little OF
something else besides wheat, and bar
Icy, fax and oats are coming in for their
share. AS whole, the season is nc
further behind than last year, and as the
soil is in much better condition, good
results are looked for.

Her maiden name was Mary Margaret
McG Goldrick. She was born in Dubuque,

married life they lived on a farm near
New Richmond. From that time they
lived in the village of New Richmond
until 1891, when they moved to Hudson
where they have since resided. Mrs
Donohue was everywhere held in the
highest estimation as woman. The re-
spect in which the community held her
in life is best measured by the manner it
tlamented her in death. The remains
were conveyed to New Richmond on Sun.

the procession from Hudson; before it
reached Boardman it was nearly three
miles IN length, and on approaching New
Richmond it was met by large number
