ITenry G. Yen nor, the Canadian
"weather prophet, died at his home
in Montreal Sunday morning last.
Mr. Yennor was educated in the
city of his nativity and death, grad
uating from McGill university, hav
ing taken a two year's course in
civil engineering and two courses in
science.
The indictment case of Governor
Ordway came up before the United
States district court at Yankton the
latter part of last week, and was
quashed, on the ground that the
grand jury had no jurisdiction in
the premises. C. K. Davis of St.
Paul made the argument, and it was
readily conceded by the court. How
ever, there seemed to be lots of abil
ity on behalf of the governor present
which was scarcely called into ac
tion, further than that of Mr. Davis.
The first number of the Sunday
Morning Iiroadaxe.Pargo, has reach
ed our table. It is a six column
folio, all at home print and makes a
good appearance, being published
from thelateDem.ocrat Broadaxe out
fit. It contains a large amount of well
selected general news and good
Democratic literature. It would
seem that one paper of this political
creed ought to live in Xorth Dakota,
providing it is well pushed. "We
wish the enterprise success. S. J.
Small is the manager.
The other day the Pioneer Press
published a lengthy editorial pre
tending to believe that the nomina
tion of Blaine instead of Arthur
established a precedent that no re
publican president would in the
future be nominated for a second
term. We place no importance on
any such talk. The Pioneer Press
had been an Arthur man, just as
the much vaunted Sabin was an
Arthur man, and of course it felt
disappointed when it found that the
people succeeded instead of the
Arthur administration. Mr. Blaine
will be elected, and if he gives the
people the right sort of an adminis
tration, and there is every reason to
believe that he will, he Avill be re
nominated and re-elected—he is the
very man that can do it. Arthur
has no standing with the people.
In the lirst place he has but little
ability, and in the second place he
cowardly compromised what little
he did have by-fighting President
Garfield when occupying the vice
presidency up to the very hour the
president was shot. It may b$ true
that Arthur has made no bad breaks,
and it is equally true that he has
not made any good strokes, done
nothing whereby he may tie remem
bered, unless it was in standing
idly, by And seeing the star route
thieves escape punishment. The
country would have heard from
President Garfield on this and other
questions had he lived. Arthur,

are open to all who
desire a candid discussion of questions of inter

course we do not hold ourselves responsible for
a correspondent's opinions.
Let tlie journalist defend the doctrine of the

condem the parly which lit does not approve, re

ponents or censure his fiiends, as the truth may
require, and he will lie independent enough for a

FRIDAY,^! XE 20,1884.
Telegraphic information is to the
effect that crops in the vicinity of
Bismarck are the best ever known
in that section of Dakoto.
The Dakota Index, a sixteen page
pamphlet, published monthly at
Aberdeen, this territory, by E. S.
Thompson, has made its appearance
at our desk. It seems to be a pub
lication intended for general inter
est. It lias our best wishes.
There was a ten hour race at the
roller rink in St. Paul last week,
wherein Harry ltichard Toomev,
a thirteen-year-old lad took the
prize, having made 93 miles 19 laps.
It is said that this is the best time
on record. There were six con
testants.

like Grant, has been in tbe hands of
his friends." Blaine will stir the
animals up and that is why some of
them howl, notably the New York
Times, Harper's Weekly, Springfield
Republican an a few others. But
then let the kickers howl. A man
is a mighty poor republican that
cannot vote for Blaine, and yet
would vote for Arthur.
The Question of Investigation.
Last week Chas. Damerel through
The Mercury and Gazette, found
fault with TUB TIMES, as in its offi
cial capacity the proceedings of the
county commissioners had not suited
him, intimating that the paper had
not only been derelict in duty but
partly accountable for what really
appeared as proceedings of the board.
Now all this is wrong, we print the
proceedings as soon as we get them,
and in fact the last was the only
publication that had been at all de
layed during the present administra
tion and besides these facts, we
print them precisely as they are
given us.
Further, we do not share with
Mr. Damerel in the idea that there
is need of a general overhauling of
the county records by experts, put
ting the county to two or three
thousand dollars expense at the least.
We regard the board of county com
missioners competent and honest
men,as do we also regard the auditor
competent and honest, and know for
a fact that since the day the latter
entered tbe office, has been working
faithfully at the duties therein, mak
ing such statements from time to
time as tlie law requires, and will
make another in July which may be
of interest not only to the public,
but to Mr. Damerel, as well. We
know that the board of commission
ers and auditor work together as
they should in official business, and
when they put their signatures to
business transactions we are satis
fied to abide by what they do, for
they are men of dicision and char
acter in everything else—and their
work shows that they are also such
in their official capacity. Now the
books and records are open to all,
and if Mr. Damerel or any other
man will inspect them sufficiently
to establish anything wrong, it will
be time enough to call for an outlay
of say $3000 to overhaul the same.
Besides these facts, as we have said,
the auditor is doing this work as
fast as possible. At least lie is going
back several years, and we have
every reason to believe is establish
ing bis books on correct and tenable
grounds. And we give the public
our word for it, that if we did not
thus think and believe we would
not thus go on record. Depend on
that.
Frorn Abercroinbie.
To the Editor of
The
Times:
Abercrombie, Dak., June 10.
Mr. and Mrs. Judge Dow from
Wahpeton, D. T., paid Mr. and
Mrs. II. J. Clark a flying visit on
Sunday last. Mrs. Clark is a sister
of Mrs. Dow.
J. A. Lamb, Agent for the Jewell
Nursery Company of Lake City,
Minnesota, was in Abercrombie last
week, and many of. our farmers in
vested quite largely.
Mr. Dennis Duncan, living just
south west of this place, made final
entry on his land yesterday the 9th
inst., taking D. J. Clark and C. Les
singer for liis witnesses.
Mrs. C. H. Stausbury, formerly of
this place, but now residing at
Devil's Lake, has been visiting her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Barney
Hackett, at Rochester, Minn., and
while there was taken sick with
dumb ague. When last heard from
she was much better and the doctor
thought she could return home in a
week or two.
Hans P. Myron, town assessor for
Abercrombie, gave us a call the lat
ler part of last week. Mr. M. seems
to be the right man in the right
place. Farmers thought their taxes
very high last year in comparison
with the valuation of their property
and many kicked and had their eyes
open this year and ready for busi
ness.
Mr. L. Boudiette and wife, accom
panied by an uncle from southern
Minnesota, passed through Aber
crombie, and thence to their farm
on the Wild Rice for the purpose of
showing the latter gentleman their
farm at that place. The old gentle'
man thinks Mr. B. has a very pretty
place and that he is well paid for his
visit. He thinks tbe Red River
Valley is a fine wheat growing
country.
Your correspondent reported some
time ago that Mr. G. Chamberlain,
who on account of poor health left
here for Montana, had so far recov
ered his usual health that he was
about to return to home and friends
since that writing numerous other
and startling reports have reached
us, one being that Mr. Chamberlain
was dead. This, however proved to
be false, and the latest news receiv
ed from good authority is that after
our first writing. He was taken a
little worse, and his family, fearing
it would be his last sickness, have
taken him to his old home in Wis.
consin where he is much worse and
his death is daily expected. He is
suffering from consumption.
The work on the Fargo Southern
depot at this place is to be com
menced to-day, several car loads of
lamber being on the ground and
ready for use about 100 men have
picHed their cents and are laying a
k^

side walk about 1 mile north west
from the old fort building on a part
of the farm belonging to J. Hutchin
son through which the Fargo South
ern runs the graders, track layers
and surface men are pushing the
work steadily and surely on. The
town site has not been surveyed yet
although general mercantile men,
saloon keepers, &c„ are anxiously
waiting with their lumber already
to erect buildings to carry on their
respective businesses. I had almost
forgot to say that a young attorney
has already arrived and taken rooms
at J. Hutchinson's with library and
other necessary articles which com
prise a law office, preparatory to
make a start in our new town, and
to take the spare change of our
people at the expense of somebody's
black eye. Q.
B. C. Berg, the wood dealer, has
just received a lot of tamarac wood.
This is the only lot in town, he
thinks.
The jolly good six are making pre
parations for a Fourth of July dance
at the opera house. It is to be done
up in good shape.
MARRIED.
At Wahpeton, June 17th, 1881, at the CaMiolic
church, John HotTmaa and Miss Annie Tryba, all
of this county.
John Iloifman is one of the most
substantial young man and thorough
farmers in the county, and his bride
is a daughter of Nicholas Tryba. an
old settler and leading farmer of the
county, well and favorably known.
Tuesday evening a large party of
young folks gathered at the residence
of the bride's parents and celebrated
the occasion in a most hearty and
old time manner. Mr. Hoffman's
farm is near the "loan tree", south
west where lie and his have taken
up their abode. THE TIMES joins
the many friends of the young
folks in wishing them long and
happy life.
Died.
At Wahpeton, 15th instant Reinn, only daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Toussaint, aged nine
months, of diarrhoea.
The little girl had been ailing for
some time, but was taken off quite
suddenly, as above. The funeral
occurred at the residence of Ilenry
Miller, Rev. Mr. Barnes officiating,
and the remains were laid away in
the Breckenridge cemetery, Monday
morning.
At Breckenridge, isth instant, Hugh Robinson,

splendid workman and most worthy
citizen. About two weeks ago
as he
worked Jn his garden, suddenly
went into his dwelling and sat down
on the ilde of his bed ill, unable to
speak. His wife soon came to his
assistance when he laid down, and
never spoke from that time to the
time of his death two weeks later,
but he was thought to be conscious
of what took place about him. Of
course all the medical assistance pos
sible was secured, but to no purpose,
the profession disagreeing as to the
singular stroke, some thinking it
sun stroke while others thought it
congestion of the brain,—perhaps it
was both, brought on partially from
the effcets of drinking ice water
when being warm and working in
the sun. However, he was not an
overly robust man. We not long
ago published the fact that Mr. R.
had invented a piece of machinery
to draw railroad spikes from ties
without bending the same. And
now learn that the Manitoba road
had offered him ten thousand dollars
for the patent, but he wanted thirty
thousand dollars. He had other
patents,and was considered a genius.
The funeral occurred from the resi
dence, under the auspices of the
Masons, Rev. Mr. Troy officiating,
and the remains were buried in the
Breckenridge cemetery. The family
has the deepest sympathy of a large
circle of friend?.
Dance to Baskets Only.
Fairmount, D. T., June 16.
To the Editor of The Times:
The Fairmount correspondent of
the Argus stated that there would
be a celebration on the 4th of July
and that there would be dancing and
a free dinner to all. We desire to
make this correction: There will
positively be no dancing, and while
the dinner will be free and a general
invitation is extended, it is expected
that every one will bring a basket of
eatables, as this is the manner in
which tbe dinner is made up.

The Fargo Argus says "the
twaddle of the territories had its ef
fect upon the republican convention
which incorporated a plank to the
effect that presidential appointees
should be taken from residents there
of." This is the first objection we
have noticed to that plank from any
source and confess that we are sur
prised to find it not only in a paper
of the territory but one so thoroughly
Dakotan as the Argus. It is a spirit
peculiarly American, that lias come

down from the fathers before the
revolution, to object to having rulers
sent from outoide our boundaries to
govern us and it Is a spirit rather
to be encouraged than rebuked. The
Argus further says "it is a puerile
proposition unworthy the advocacy
of broad statementship." It is the
only way to head off the "innumer
able caravan" of political mendi
cants in the east who fasten them
selves like barnacles upon the admi
nistration waiting for something to
turn up that will give them good
pay for poor service. Carpet bag
officers are odious to any people of
self respect and rightfully so. There
may have been a time when it was
in the interest of good government
to provide territorial officers from
among experienced men in the
states, but that time is passed and
out of keeping with this age of
American progress. The territories
are no# mainly settled by men of
experience from the states who have
abundant ability for any territorial
office from governor down. We
appVehend it was not the "twaddle"
of the territories that secured the
incorporation of this plank in the
platform but the long deferred re
cognition of a principle of right and
justice born and bred in the bone of
every true American citizen. The
people of Dakota would kick against
the appointment of James G. Blaine
as governor, not because of any dis
respect for him but from respect for
themselves, IDaily (Jamestown)
