1t was announced that the Senator
W ould meet the old soldiers and their
friends informally at the Opera House
in the evening, and so in spite of the
rain which fell steadily from six
O'Clock, the hall was nearly filled
when Capt. Ewing called for order
and introduced Senator Ingalls,. Mr..
ingalls, had been very reluctant to
try to make a speech at the Hall, as
he had thought there was to be no
speechmaking. But after getting be-
fore his audience the words came with
the old fluencY and force and he talk
ed for half an hour about some of the
problems that the American people
have to solve. 1t was strong, sem
sible patriotic speech and we don't
think that any one could hear it with
out going away better 7 merican
and happier man. AT its close Mr..
Ingalls, stepped down to the floor Of
the hall and held a reception which
lasted nearly an hour and which gave
every one an opportunity to make his
acquaintance.

Brutality at Devils Lake.


The Free Press publishes hard story
this week, claiming that prominent
German farmer name William Ganske
adopted two girls out of a Wisconsin insti.
tuition ten years aga and has been misusing
them in shameful manner ever since. It
states that he has whipped, abused and
stoned them. Rain or shine, they have
been obliged to do the work of men-plow,
harvest grain and bay and feed steck. He
has mrde them wear his own cast off gar
ments, with sometimes nothing but q
gunny sack to protect their nudeness.
In cold weather they wear rags on their
feet instead of shoes. When strangers
com near the house they hide like wlld
animals. The youngest has SO long been
subject to this treatment that her reason
has become clouded. They are nov young
women and Leither of them has had any
schooling. Two years ago, the article
claims, the, Oldest girl gave birth to a
child, which is being cared FOR by Garske's
wife. Two months ago the youngest girl
went 10 a nelghbors and asked to be taken
to the city. but as she had nothing but n
calico slip on the man refused to take her
until provided with suitable clothing.
While he was looking up some clothing
Garske learned of the girls whereabouts
and took her away again. Coz. !.

Hints ON Railroad, Passes.

Steele County Tribune: There was a
great deal said during the late campaign
in this state regarding the pass bribery
system, but it was difficult to be consist-
emily specific rt Rarding th as about all
the candidates of the different parties who
had held state Office had enjoyed the del.
i:htful sensation OF riding on pass and
drawing mileage fsom the state treasury
,stLe same as though they paid their fares.
In many Of the states there are stringent
laws against this species Of bribery, and It
would BIO we'll for members of our coming
legislature to try and resist accepting the
"annual' whenit is sent to them, then
perhaps they will be in a position to give
the state rai!road law Of more value than
the paper that 1t is written on which is
some thing The state does not have at the
= eseut tins.

1888

Another year has come and gore, and as
we look around the state, and reflect upon
the absent faces that we're with Us twelve
months ago. Some there were III. the full
bloom of youth, others in the GEAR and
yellow leaf, were all gathered 10 md the
Christmas fire, hale and hearty, passing
the festive 'ssa,.sn With mirth ard song,
recalling the nie,l'oit u. the Eetherland.
The bells that ring, ont ,..a sla ar and
| in the new, will bring joy to sesulss homes
and sorrow to Others. Some hene to-
night will miss a dear face. s.There will be
one vacant chair Perchance the tiny
toy of some loved one. or trace of golden
hair will bring back to memory the merry
laugh and lisPing tongue chat Oft hath
made the evenings happy and made us
forget our worldly cares and tolls. As we
gaze back into the past year We begin to
lnoralize, and say to ourselves what have
We done? Have we taken one step to
further our own interests or the interests
of Our country, or haye we strewn to make
the world better ttan we found it. Have
VI markt d the rise and the fall of com-
me,ce! Have voted away our franchise
against the welfare of our country or
have we stood nutral with uncertain ex:
pectancy for something to turn up when
tho hand was called" We have every
confidence that the year which ls about to
dawn upon us is frought with prosperity
for all The Republicans have swept this
great continent from the Atlantic to thc
Pacific, and a wave of universal confidence
is embrued in the hearts of the people.
The moneyed men of the country have
let lose their purse strings i'll speculation
and with the increased trade thus produced
better times must follow. Let us all sink |
our political differences and the petty
strife that has made us stand aloof like
two great rocks in a desert land; let US
sink it all in oblivion and work for the
good of our country, and carry forward in
spotless purity the grand old banner that
has seen us safely through our trying
tiD,es.
To each and all, this bright new year,
May all have plenty, and osparc..
And all you do be with success,
Eless'd with health and happiness.
