The New York Sun and Herald simultaneously boom him. Word from Washington says that Col. Lounsberry leaves this week for home. lie says he thinks the prospects for his appointment as governor of Dakota are excellent. It is probable no appointment will, be made, however, before May. From Washington: Mr. White, who has returned, said in conversa tion yesterday that he thought the general sentiment of the producing classes in Minnesota sustains the Minnesota members in their vote to take up the tariff bill. He thought they would all, except Washburn, vote against striking out the enact ing clause and probably all would vote for it on its passage, even if not materially amended. President Sargent of the Fargo Southern last week said to a Fargo E&mblican reporter: That George Foley has been given the contract ^0 construct the remainder of the i'oad, and has obliged himself to •mild a mile a day, beginning at the qiiferent points. At this rate he j^ays the road will be connected oy June 15, and freight traffic will commence about July 1. He says it will require two months to ballast the road and have it ready for pas senger traffic. Passenger coaches are now being made for the road at the Barney Smith works in Dayton Ohio. A number of contractors and builders of Minneapolis are just now being questioned as to the probable cause of the falling to the ground of a winter built structure the latter part of last week, when two people were badly injured. The general verdict is that the building fell from the result of poor founda tion stone and the freezing and thawing out of the morter in the walls. The building was a large one, walls roof and floors finished, and camtrdown with a tremendous crash, apparently unexpected. It is a singular piece of mismanagement. Loss $80,000. Wm. LofEetmaker, a German who lived with his wife in the town of Canister, near Kasson, Minnesota, latterly thought to be demented, murdered his wife last week as she slept, and then suicided. It seems, however, that letters were- found that showed lie had for two years contemplated the deed. He was 28 years of age and the wife 25, handsome and admired by every body, while the husband was gen erally looked upon as brutal. A letter found afforded directions as to what should be done with the property which belonged mostly to the wife, written, of course,'' by. -the husband. It's a pity these worth less wretches do not kill themselves first, in such cases. Ohio has recently been visited by two cyclones.. In Greeve county six persons have tpen killed, while many others have been seriously in jured. The towns of Carrington, Woodford and Jamestown and country surrounding same, were the greatest sufferers. Authentic statement is that tbe cyclone was formed by the union of two light storm clouds from the south and the. northwest, whicht .-immediately assumed the form of' a waterspout rising, and descending like waves of the Sea,, and destroying every thing in its way, being fully one eighth of a mile wide, and moved about over the country like an im mense cloud of smoke, while else .where in its path the air was dark witfr ,ti*j!9S and ruins of houses. Forests were moved down like vol. 6. Wahpeton, Richland County, Dakota, May 2, 1884. weeds fences destroyed for miles, and it is estimated in this county alonei at least twenty residences are in ruins, to say nothing of the loss of other buildings, live stock and farm property.

Woog, chief of the finance division of the Indian bureau, is in New York to superintend the open ing of proposals for working cattle at the various Indian agencies in Dakota also for bacon, pork, and agricultural implements. The ba con, pork and agricultural imple ments may be delivered at Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City or Sioux City. The cattle must be delivered at the Sheyenrte River, Crow Creek, Lower Brule, Pine llidge and Rosebud agencies in Dakota. Glyndon, Minn., 27: A wooden row on the west side of Park ave nue was wiped out by fire at 2 o'clock this morning. The fire started from a defective chimney flue in the Glyndon bakery, kept by Mrs. E. Futsher. Her house and its contents, Vincent's meat market and its contents anil the lumber office, ware house and stables of Andrew Bros, are almost a total loss. Some stock and furnitur of the latter were saved by hard work. The railroad elevator barely escaped the wind%being strong from the north, favoring the most dense busi ness district. Loss about $3,000, fairly covered by insurance in the German-American company. Pittsburg, 25: One of the most remarkable prize fights that ever occurred in this city or vicinity, took place last night at Arsenal park, between Bilson Jack and Jack Clifford for $100 a side. Previous to the battle a ball had been in pro gress in which over 30 young girls and several mothers with infants in their arms participated. Wheii time was called at 10:30, the women as well as the men crowded around the ring, and during the fight the former were the most enthusiastic shouters, for their respective favor ites. The fight was with soft gloves,. London prize ring xules. From this start, Clifford, who dis played the. most science,/had the best of-it, and soon had the battle well in his hands.-- Bilson Jack fought savagely, however, and .re« fused to give up until the 121st round, when friends interfered, and the mill was awarded to Clifford. Both men were terribly punished. Bilson Jack had to be carried from the ring. A number of policemen watched the fight to the close with out interfering. The battle lasted one hour and forty minutes. The ambitious project of con structing, an island in Lake Michi gan opposite-Chicago is seriously to be undertaken this summer. The magnitude of this venture can be understood when it is known that the plans contemplate an area of forty acres. This island is to be guarded by a breakwater seyenteen feet ih height. It is to be placed one mile from the shore, where the depth of the water averages eigh teen feet. On the shore side is to be a land locked harbor of seven acres to admit lake craft of any size. The land is to be formed of sand and clay dredged from the lake. The face of the island is to be irreg ular, and the summit of the gradual swell is to be the site for a large ho tel. This being the highest spot on the island, and fully fifty feet above the water line, will afford a magni ficent view. The projectors number1 several experienced engineers, and have made their estimates on the basis of a total expenditure of $200,-! 000,000.: It is thought that a resort would prove popular as a place for summer, cottages, and would at tract summering people generally, and particularly Chicagoans desir ing to have an easy escape from, th$ city In ber hottest moods. A Here and There. The clever turn everything to ac count. Most married women think bach elors ought to be taxed. The man who does not advertise evidently does not want patronage. Col. Ingeraoll is graphically de scribed as. "the great, round, fat, oily man of Satin." England considers $3,000,000 enough surplus revenue. The United States keeps thirty times that amount in her treasury. There scarce can be named one quality that is amiable in a woman which is not becoming in a. man, not excepting even modesty and gentleness of nature. A country paper tells of a smart wife that helped her husband to grow seventy acres of wheat. The way she helped him was to stand in the door and shake a broom at him when he sat down to rest. Mrs. John Boyle O'Reilly will spend the summer in Europe, but her husband will not accompany her says the Boston Gazette, because he and the British government do not exactly constitute a mutual admiration society. The plain principles of truth and honesty are familiar to most of us, and need no elaborate argument to elucidate or uphold them. They de mand our unhesitating obedience, and the more cheerfully and prompt ly we act upon them, the more firm, manly and consistent wrillour char acters become. Health is the one thing needful therefore no pains, expense, self de nial, or restraint which we submit to for the sake of it is too much. Whether it require us to relinquish lucrativo situations, to abstain from favorite indulgencies, to control in temperate passions, or undergo tedi ous regimens—whatever difficulties it lays us under, a man who pursues his happiness rationally and reso lutely will be content to submit to it. The Catholic directory for 1884 shows that in Great Britain, ex clusive of Ireland, there are 2,492 priests 1,524 churches and consid erably more than 1,500,000 layman. This represent a growth in forty years of 1,422 churches and schools, or thirty-five each year. There is now one church or convent for each 160 square miles. The Catholic population has increased three times as fast as the whole people, and now constitutes about five per cent, of the whole. Dakota Religious Items.

Three Dominican Fathers of St. Paul are holding a mission at the Catholic church in Fargo, with great success. Work will be commenced on a Congregational church building at Valley Springs immediately, to cost $2,000. The Presbyterian church at Lari more has become self supporting, the people having subscribed $900 toward the support of a pastor. Travare, ar new town in Roberts county, has a Presbyterian society of considerable strength. A place for holding services is being ar ranged for. It seems to be a settled fact chat Sioux Falls is to have the Episcopal college. The donation of $10,000 asked for by Bishop Hare will be raised. Rev. J. A. Hartinan, of James town, is giving a series of Sunday evening discourses on "The Prodi gal Son," supplemented by a service of song, by a large and well trained chorus. The superintendents of the differ ent Sunday schools in Codington have agreed to meet in Watertown on the 7th of May next, to take steps toward organizing a county Sunday school union. Fargo Department Globe: The Congregational church in Fargo has just been enlarged to double its seating capacity, although little more than a year old. The popular and able pastor, Rev. R. A.

This must have been Plumly of the Argus. The Huron convention seems to have been somewhat stormy at the outset, but though the efficiency of prayer by the parson, who was pres ent, the molifying influence of the church in which they assembled and the oil of peace poured out upon them from the silvery tongue of Colonel Plummer, the minority suc cumbed to the inexorable weight of the majority and business proceed ed with decorum and dispatch.

It is a faithful saying and worthy of acceptation, that "Dakota men need two wives, one to live with and the other to visit in the east," etc. We were struck with the de sirability of this arrangement last night by the presence of the follow ing row of stages at the entertain ment, viz: C.

Perhaps Wahpeton couldn't furnish a few instances of that kind. With charectoristic enterprise, General Passenger Agent Fee, of the Northern Pacificr has recently placed on that road, between Fargo and St. Paul, a: number of those elegant parlor cars, which make traveling so delightful now-a-days.

Argus 21: To-morrow work will commense on the Fargo Southern track laying, and Contractor Foley promises to complete the track from Fargo to Wahpeton in two weeks if the weather is not too bad. He will employ about three hundred hands. The entire line of over one hundred and twenty miles he ex pects to finish in five weeks. His tools are all here ready for use. The large tracklaying machinery which he recently purchased has not yet arrived, but is expected here soon. Each of these machines is guaran teed to lay a mile and a half per day. With fairly favorable weather Mr. Foley expects to have the entire line completed by June 1. The Brainerd Tribune draws this personal sketch of Charles S. Fee, general passenger agent of the Northern Pacific: "He looks under thirty, is a complete blonde, having light hair, eyes and moustache. He is of medium height and rather slight. His manner is nervous and quick, and both speech and move ment indicate restless activity and tireless energy. He is an organism evidently practically limitless in ca pacity to dispatch work, the endur ance that bends and twists but never breaks—wears out but never gets rusty. It is the fruits of such ex ertion as he is capab'e of that we are seeing all around us in the enor mous passenger traffic the road is doing. It is, indeed, easy to pre dict for such a man a brilliant future." Notice, To the Editor of The Times: DKAR SIR:—AS chairman of the board of health for Wahpeton, 1 would suggest to our citi zens that they clean np about their residence and places of business, all rubbish and filth ac cumulated the past winter, at the earliest ble day. for soon there wUl poari. be warm weather*!^ danger from disease.
