Defending q Lady.

J. Davidson, an old time North Da-
kotsn who used to keep drug store in
the early days of Jamestown, was in
Fargo recently and Is quoted as follows
in the Argus, in reference to the Eisen-
huth canard and P. D. Mckenzie afIi
davlt which that paper promulgated:
Inotice IN your paper this morning
that you say Mr.. Adams is mistaken. I
guess not. 1t is the other party that ,s
mistaken. The charge that Mr.. Elsen-
huth is q whisky seller IS paltry. He
kept drug store in the sos. but that
has nothing to do with Mrs. E,senhuth.
Even then she protested against the sale.

Eisenhuth keeping a drug store as I
kept one in jamestown at the same time
and suppose must plead guilty to
selling whisky also-yet voted the pro.

against my selling whisky, but you know
when the respectable people" want it.,
what is "good'' druggist to do? got
out OF the business and 80 did Mr.. Elsen-
huth. Mrs. Eisenhuth has flood Of
good deeds TO recommend her. She is a
noble wife, noble woman, good su-
perintendent, an efficient educationalist
and Christisn lady. She IS also W.
G. r. q. lady-a progressive and aggres-
sive character, and has fought the battle
Of woman iu North Dakota and made it
possible for all women to hold distin-
guished office in our state.
The following letter from Judge Bald
win OF this city, q we'll known aud prom
lnent republican, to the state snperin-
tendent OF instruction, Mrs. Laura Eisen-
huth, is interesting reading in connec-
ton with the above. Ae says:
Office OF County Judge, jamestown. Dot.
l6, 1884,
Laura J. Eisenhuth, Dear Madam: {:
Ny attention has been called to an
article in the Argus, wherein my friend,
P. d. Mckenzie, formerly of Darlington.
does some affidavit business. Those who
know p. u. Mckenzie will not wonder at
it. He became angry at you in the trlal
OF the McNulty case and seeks to get
even by doing small job Of lying. Peter
has wheels in his head and will revenge
himself on anyone, even 1t he has to lie
about it.
In the McNulty case he testified
falsely to my certain knowledge. am
sorry that your enemies resort to such
tactics. You may use my name az one
Who would not believe P. D. Mckenzie

Conductor Dr'scoll met With "a peculiar
and somewhat painful accident on his
train yesterday, says the Grand Forks
Plalndealer. While passing through
the alley in the dining car he met the
conductor of that institution. The latter
had pencil in his mouth and as the
two men approached each other the car
gave a sudden lurch and they came
together with bang. The pencil dis
appeared. Part Of 1t went down the
throat OF the dinipg-car conductor and
the other part went into Mr.. Driscoll's
ear, making a very painful wonnd. The
lead was driven into the ear with such
force that q pair Of pinchers had to be
employed to extract it.

There are three candidates for probate

Goodrich, George McGregor and John
Knauf. The first two are old citizens,
and have tax en- the good and bad years
Of a Dakota residence along with their
neighbors. Colonel" Knauf, the third
candidate, is younger man. know n
chiefly IN connection with a political
party league. The Office of county Judge
is not An extremely lucrative one, yet it
ought be filed by men OF integrity and
character, and it there is any profit IN it
the old timers in Stutsman county are
entitled to preference. In selecting a
name for this office the voter ought to
find no difficulty in making choice.

DEAD IN A CELLAR.
Body of John Rustad, an In
sane Patient, Accidently
Discovered.
Had Been Missing Since Sept.
6th-The Coroner'S
Inquest.

The body of John Rustaa. An escaped
patient from the hospital, was found on
the farm of John Severn, six miles south
west Of the city, Sunday afternoon.
Death had taken place several weeks ago,
az the remains were badly decomposed.
A coroners jury was summoned Monday
and the body turned oyer to the asylum
authorities.
Nels Romer and wife, who were driv-
ing near the farm OF Mr.. Severn-the
land is farmed but no one lives on it
spect the same with the object of pur.
chasing, and in the cellar, which Is open
on one side, discovered the body of a
man. Coroner Thorold was summoned,
and with jury consisting of Mayor Hal
stead, Marshal Thompson and Jake
Cooper, went out Monday to view the re-
mans. He wore asylum slippers and the
name and ward number of the dead man
were discovered on the vest lining. 1t
IS supposed death occurred from expos
ure.
John Rustad, who has been an inmate
of the North Dakota Hospital for the In
sane for three or four years past, escaped
from that institution on the morning Of
Sept. 9Th by means Of the elevator shaft,
which is used for the conveyance of food
from one floor to another. \ vigorous
search was at once instituted for him
and although the surrounding country
was secured, no trace could be found.
He had escaped from the institution sew
eral times previously notwithstanding
the close watch kept upon him, but had
always been recaptured. On this last
occasion, however, his whereabouts were
not discovered and his death must have
taken place soon after his escape. The
remains were very much shrunken and
disintiegration proceeded to such length
that his clothes we're about the only
means of Identification. He was abou:
81 years of age and came from the south
ern part of the state. The body has been
inferred IN the asylum cemetery.

Onions q Good Crop.

Here 10 an item containing much food
for reflection to the farmer, when it
is stated that carload Of onions, about
700 bushels, was recently shipped into
Bismarck at . total cost Of 80 cents per
bushel. The Fargo Forum says: The
farmers in the vicinity of Arthur, Cass
county, led bv A. e. Vroomsn are going
for onions. This year Mr.. Vrooman had
ten acres that averaged from GOO to 1000
bushels per acre, and netted him 40 cents
per bushel. Naturally, be thinks there
are more paying farm products than
wheat.

Not one just Reason.

The Grafton News and Times says
very truly that Mrs. Laura Eisenhuth is
"the Arst woman who ever plucked the
prize Of state ofhce from all opponents
in these United States. and the first
woman % honored by any political party
in it, past history. To the democratic
party belongs this great honor OF being
first to nominate woman and elect her
