Arrest at Lakota.

A "box-car merchant" has been
operating in Lakota and the i'm
provised general store" still stands
on the side track NEAR the depot.
The car is sent out by John Sexton
d Co., Chicago, and is in charge
OF a man named Tanning. 1t seems
that the Sexton concern some time
ago sent soliciting agents into this
territory who, took orders for gro
ceries and all manners of goods to
be delivered through the medium
OF the "box-car store" Wednesday
$. Perring, a customer from Bart
lett, being dissatisfied with the
quality of the goods delivered to
him, attached the car, and the con-
Germ paid the claim rather than
stand trial. Samples of the grocer
les dispensed from the car we're
obtained by the sheriff and for
warded to Fargo for chemical anal
ysis at the agricultural college, as
a result of which a warrant for
Fanning's arrest was issued Thurs
day by Justice Fruit on complaint
filed by the states attorney. The
specific charge against Tanning is
offering for sale Raspberry Syrup
containing coal tar dye. The pros
ecution is under the Pure Food Law
passed by the last legislature.

A. E. Webster, of the American
Tea & Coffee Go. of Omaha, Neb.,
enriched the School Funu of Nc
Lean county last week to the tune
of $1,000, which will be of some
help to the schools of the county
and will also be a lesson to others
that they cannot come in here and
dispose Of goods that is contrary
to law. The merchants assisted by
States Attorney McCulloch went
after the agent of the Omaha Co.,
and had him brought before JUS
tice Wallin, who administered a
fine Of $50 and costs. The agent
departed for Wilton, where he pro-
ceeded to dispose of his stock of
goods and he was again brought
before the Justice and given the
same dose, the two fines and costs
amounting to over a hundred dol
lars. The agent said that he would
shake the dust of Mclean county
off his shoes and departed for new
and better fields. Our citizens de-
serve a great deal of credit for the
manner in which they handled the
first case of this kind in the county
and from now on agents and others
who do not comply with the law
regarding pure food will give CHS
place and county a wide berth.
One man from Oliver county gave
an order in the spring to the So
licitor. Among the goods ordered
was five pounds of cocoanut at
$3.50. When he received his goods
he was short the cocoanut, and a
roar was made and the agent prom
Used to make good, but left before
so doing and Oliver county man is
out the five pounds of cocoanut
worth $3.50. There are many cases
of this kinds all over the state and
we feel that those most prominent
in this matter should have proper
credit for the good work done.
Just to show how much money
is being sent out of the state, we
reprint an extract taken from the
statement of S. P. Lesselyoung,
representing John Sexton & Co.,
of Chicago, dealer in extracts and
jellies, and who pleaded guilty at
C~ooperstown to violating the State
Pure Food Law. He stated that
his firm had orders amounting to
$4,000 in North Dakota. Just
think of tand this represents only
one firm. The total amount sent
out each year and which could be
kept at home just as easily as not,
means that a larger share of the
money goes out OF the state to the
state to the detriment of the state
and institutions.

Oxen were the horses of the country,
and Red river carts the chariots of her

But what gave him greater anxiety
than all else, was the fact that, though
he was the nominal executive of do
main more extensive than France, yet
but fragment was open to settlement.
Casting his eyes upon the map, all in
reality over which he had authority was
the narrow strip of land lying between
the st. Croix and the Mississippi, bound

where Princeton now stands, "pent-up

mediately began to press, with zeal, his
Wing friends in Congress, for authority
to make treaty with these savages.
At last the authorization came in 1850.
AS the logical result of this warrant,
there followed by far the most import
ant event in the history of Minnesota,
and destined to have the most salutary
influence upon our destinies.
The treaty was finally consummated
July 23d, 1851, and was ratified by the
U. S. Senate June 26th, 1852. That day
Minnesota was born again. This treaty
sealed the doom of the Dakota race in
Minnesota; they signed away their heri-
tage, and were thenceforth strangers in
the land of their fathers.

practical methods of economical state
housekeeping, and characteristic of his
German thrift, was his complete reform
alton of the extravagant and expensive
government of the preceding state ad-
prodigal far beyond the states re-
sources. State, county, and township
governments had plunged headlong into
excessive expenditures, creating debts
and embarrassing the people. He met
the situation promptly and vigorously.
He insisted that every state expenditure
should be reduced, that taxation might
not eat up the substances of the people,
nor prove bar to immigration. His
economical reforms were sweeping, even
to reducing his gubernatorial salary one
half. The legislative body was largely
reduced; county and township expendi-
lures were curtailed; the public printing
was no longer "a job" salaries and
taxes were alike reduced, and banking
law which authorized currency on in
adequate securities, was swept away
Out of these radical reforms, soon
sprung that prosperity which has since
marked the unparalleled progress of the
state.
In the progress of our history, there
had occurred one of those sore tribula-
lions into which so many young states
and territories have plunged headlong
leaving wounds and scars during years
of regret. Our misfortune was the cele,
brated Give Million Loan Bill" Had
the governor of the state stood firm, and
permitted no encroachment upon the eX-

been door of escape. Governor Ram

this ill-fortune, devised measures to ex.
tricate the state from it's entanglements
An amended constitution expunged the un
fortunate measure from the statutes and
the franchises and enormous land grants
were restored to the state, and by his
