PAGES 9 TO 10 VOL. IX. QUEER LOOKING TWINS- The Dakota Legislature Combines a Local Option Bill With a Division Scheme, The Idea Being to Have the People Vote ou Both Questions at the Same Election. Members of the Council Incited to Eloquence by a Female Audience. "Watertown Booming In Splendid Style and Taking on Metropol itan Airs. Special to the Globe. Bismarck, Dak., March 4.— lt was warm In the council chamber this after noon; warm because twenty members got worked up to 102 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade over the passage of the division bill on the back of the local option measure. It was a clever scheme, hatched in Hie brain of some versatile member from the south ern districts a couple of weeks ago. The plea was that the question of local option and division should be sub mitted to the people in November at the same election, and through this combina tion of issues a more general vote would be drawn out than if they were submitted singly. There were men in the council, too. when tlie bill came up, who would have voted FOR LOCAL OPTION pure and simple, but who absolutely re fused to oast their votes in favor of the measure while it acted the part of a pack horse for the division bill. It was claimed that the division bill could not have been put through the council alone, consequently jt was indirectly hitched to the local option measure, which dragged.- it through. The option bill, as amended by Smith, of Yankton. and passed, pro vides that in any county where one-third of the: voters present a petition to the county commissioners, ask ing for a submission of the question of tem perance sixty days before the first Monday after the first Tuesday in November, 1887, the county commissioners shall be obliged to order an election. This date is the same that is provided for the submission of the division question, and the friends of THE DIVISION MEASURE will win the vote in the council by saying to the temperance element, '"pass our bill, and it will have the effect of bringing out a greater vote for your temperance issue next "November."' The division bill was made a special order for Monday afternoon, when there will undoubtedly be more sparring. To-day strong-minded females with their faces set hard against the saloonkeepers filled the lobby and prompted the members to make many a Witty sally and brilliant repartee that they would have overlooked had they spoken under other circumstances. Mrs. Barker, leader of the movement, was there in light ing trim, and when a member intimated that he couldn't conscientiously vote tor the bill, she would give him her personal at tention, and try to win him over with hon eyed words and pleading glances. Mrs. Barker is a peculiar woman, but she is an earnest worker, with a teiia acity that is wonderful. As a lobbyist she is a grand success and on the lecture plat form she is an irresistible power. Up to the present time her labors have been con fined almost wholly to South Dakota, where she has done a great deal of creditable work in the field of temperance. Tee Aitoii. [Addition Dakota legislative proceedings proceedings on the first page.] NOT ASKED TO KESIG.*". DlrCoriunck Severely Criticised, But no Evidence Found of Displeasure to tiie President. Bpecial Correspondence of the Globe. Bismarck, March 8. — During the past -week there has been considerable talk back and forth here regarding Secretary McCor mack. It has been rumored and promptly denied that Mr. McCormack has been asked to explain why he pardoned Tom Magill. Mr. McCormack says that no request of the kind has been made of him, and if it has it cannot bo corroborated" here.' The prob abilities are that the rumor was built on the dispatch that came from the pen of some Washington newspaper correspondent a few days ago to the effect that President Cleveland had asked McCormack to resign. It is a fact that the wide swath cut by Sec retary McCormack during the week that he acted" as governor was the cause of more or less talk and a good deal of it was of a severely critical nature. There is no feel ing of passionate love betweeii Secretary McCormack and Attorney General Engle, and the latter official told me the other day that he was not consulted in regard to the legal ity of the bill legalizing the Sioux Falls bill which was vetoed by Mr.. McCormack and promptly passed over his veto by the council. 1 understand that the house would have ignored the veto had it not been for the efforts of Hon. M. H. Day, who endeavored to get the substitute bill through in time to allow McConuack to ap prove it, but Mr. Grigsby frustrated the "plan, and it was held by the engrossing committee until Gov. Church was seated, and he promptly approved it when it was placed in his hands. Win Acting Gov. McCormack consulted regard ing the Sioux Falls bill, if it was not Attor ney General Engle, is not known. The par doning of Tom Magill was a surprise to many people, and they thought at the time that, while Acting Gov. McCormack had not overreached his authority, it was a seri ous matter, and should have been left to Gov. Church, who, it is understood, did not approve of this action of his predecessor for a week. I am told that in vetoing the divorce bill Mr. McCormack consulted the attorney general upon one point only, and that was relative to eases now pending in the courts, and this point was only one of several ob jections raised in the veto. This is, as near as I can ascertain, the true status of af fairs, and while the action of Mr. McCor mack, while temporarily tilling the guberna torial chair, was displeasing to a large num ber of people and some officials, there was probably not enougu sentiment, creaun mi stir the chief executive of the country up to : such a point that he would ask for Secretary McConnack's resignation. It is glven'out , that the independent course taken by Gov. Church and the persistency with : which he insists on taking his own counsel has not been more highly pleasing to Secre tary McCormack than to Mr. Day, but Gov. Church smiles pleasantly at these dis gruntled individuals and jogs complacently along the independent line of march that he laid out at the beginning of his adminis tration. _Tee Aitch. PI.

There .... .:—-—-v '.- ' ' , -•-■*- Cj9 ;-;.'■; \^» y \Q^^^^^^^^ . isn't enough vanity in Gov. Church's make-up to dim the eye of a Durham mus qnito. He is a plain, unassuming thinker. a hard worker, a man who makes a business of life and looks on death as a sort of an indefi nite vacation. In the parlance of the Country that he rules, he is a rustler with low Deck and short sleeves. Coming here to govern a territory as grand as this, most men would have fitted themselves out with a costly suite of rooms at the best hotel, and there entertained with high-headed dignity the men who considered it an honor to be allowed admittance to his presence, but Gov. Church has rented two rooms, plainly furnished, in the rear Of a bank building away, from the clatter and jar of the streets and almost away from the world. One window looks out on a low stretch of ice-bound bottom land and a row of wrinkled bluffs, while the other opens on the plain side of an adjoining building. The main loom is furnished with two or throe tables, a sofa, a few chairs and a tall, friendly-looking stove. Oft this apartment opens the. governor's sleeping room, fur nished comfortably but unostentatiously. He eats at the hotel but sleeps and thinks in these unassuming quarters. A few days ago a photographer walked into the gov ernor's otlice at the capitol, and on the wall in his reception room hung a large portrait of his excellency encased in a beautiful and costly frame. The governor allowed it to hang tliere until the evening of his recep tion, when he ordered it down and it was hung away in a dark room alongside a row | of formidable looking muskets. He takes j a compliment in a manner that ; indicates he is accepting a gift from a friend | to please the donor, but doesn't know what j to do with it. lie is not a haggler.

DAKOTA PRESS COMMENTS. Independent as a Prince. Sioux Falls Argus. Gov. Church will show himself like Presi dent Clevelaud, as fair as a judge but as in dependent as a prince. He will do what is fair by the Republicans, but he will not sac rifice one jot of his admitted prerogatives to please or tickle anybody. Don't Turn the Other Cheek. Yankton Herald. Gov. Church is evidently not one of the chaps that politely turns the other cheek to the smiter. On the contrary, he is somewhat of a smiter himself. What Froze Their Marrow. — Yankton Herald.

Mandan Pioneer. A bill has been introduced in the territorial legislature providing lor the election of the railroad commissioners by the people. This seems to be a step in the right direction. There is every reason that the people them selves should say who can best represent them in their dealings with corpotations. We see no good reason why the bill should not become a law. Has a Mind of His Own. Bismarck Settler. Gov. Church has surprised us all in these parts by the promptness with which he has commenced making appointments, no less than by some of the appointments themselves. Not that we find much to criticise.

But they were, so absolutely certain, and called upon the people of Dakota so frequently to mark their predictions, that we can't refrain from trying to impress upon them the fact that there is nothing more uncertain than "a sure thing." The Devil and the Deep Sea. . Rapid City Journal. Members of the Dakota legislature wlo rep resent agricultural constituencies have been •'between the devil and the deep sea" on the. question of amending the exemptions law. They have known that the law should be amended, and many of them have inclined to do what they thought right in the matter but they feared that they might injure them selves at home by amending. Therefore they have done nothing, and now that protests have been sent in against touching the exemptions they will not be called upon -to hurt themselves. Crawled Into Hit Shell. Sioux Falls Argus. Gifford has not been heard of for some time. It is supposed that he lias crawled into his intellectual shell and is meditating some, fearful revenge on the Democratic edi tors who have seen lit to criticise him.

Republicans Prevent Territorial Leg islation by Filibustering and Ob structing Business. Special to the Globe. Washington, March 4. Judge Gifford blames it all on the Democratic party. He says that the Republicans in the senate and the Republicans in the house have tried to do wonders for Dakota, but they have been balked and blocked by the Democrats of the house. It depends largely on whose ox is gored. The judge takes it for granted in a thoroughly partisan manner that all of the propositions waich emanated from Re publican brains and Republican committees were unquestionably right. He does not stop to consider that there is any possibility of rectitude In the thoughts or deeds of the Democratic mojority in the house. He believes that the endeavors to cause the division and admission of two Dakotas, under the Harrison bill, without an author ized vote of the people, was the only just and reasonable measure that could have been adopted. He can see nothing but wrongheadedness and political willfulness in the house Democracy in refusing to coin cide with the Republican senate in its en deavor to put four new senators on the Re publican side of that chamber. He seems to think that the work of the Republican senate was purely patriotic and devoid of political chicanery. It does not appear to him that when a man or body of men unite for the advancement of their own cause, or their own business, that they do so for selfish reasons. He seems to be iv a state of mind which would lead a man to believe that when a Jonathan Wild gobbles a horse, boggy, purse and strong box he does it with purely philanthropic motives. He believes that a Republican senate wanted to steal four seats out of the Northwest to make its s_ftgM_ DWrNPLING MAJORITY more solid, merely out of a patriotic desire to do justice to Dakota. Thus does he talk any way. He blames Springer, Morrison, Randall, and every man who dwells on the Democratic side of the fence for the failure of congress to do anything for Dakota. He doe's not point out any efforts made by him self to harmonize matters and secure legis lation for his territory. He simply declaims against tiie Democratic party, and tells what the Republicans would have done had they been in the majority. The whole truth of the matter is that the Republicans of the house, Gifford among them, have fil ibustered and obstructed business to such an extent as to render territorial legislation impossible. And now they have the ef frontery to come forward and blame the Democrats in the hope of making political capital out of it all in the states. Clare Will Work. Special to the G lobe. Washington, March 4. — "The commis sioner of immigration can be anything he pleases," says a gentleman from Bismarck who knows all about it. "He . can sit in his office, draw his §2,000 and §500 for of fice expenses and live like a gentleman. Or he can go right into business and work himself to death. It is an office sui generis, and will be what the commissioner chooses to make it. It may be a genteel loafing place or the busiest office in the territory. Lauren Dunlap has made it a very credit able office. What Mr. McCluro will do re mains to be seen." They who have known the new commissioner intimately will not say "it remains to be seen" what he will do. He is a born -worker, and an intelli gent one. DAKOTA DOTS AND DASHES. News Note*, of Interest to tlie People of the Urcat -territory. Wolves are reported numerous in nearly all sections this winter. Even in Ransom county one night last week a young man returning to town from 'a walk three miles in the coun try to see bis girl, was followed by several wolves. He swung his lantern at them, but it did not disturb their neighborly feeling. He then drew his pocket-knife, but that only whetted their curiosity. Of course he knew they were harmless, but he then dashed his lantern at them and his hair stood np and he run as if his life was at stake to the nearest house. If there had been a purse up tne vulpine racers would have been badly left. The young man will take the Lisbon battery with him the next time he goes out into the country at night to see his girl. Many of the mail carriers on the shorter routes have had serious times out on the prairies in the blizzards this winter. As an example, Mr. Walsh, who carries 45 miles (all for S'2) from Blur Stone City to Travoro, was caught in a blizzard and wandered, lost in the storm all night. He came so near freezing as to become sleepy and but for his nerve in getting out and walking ail the night, would have lost his life. A man from a Wisconsin town, about 35 years' of age, lately came' to one of the South Dakota towns with a girl of -14, who hardly looked as old. and after some little trouble found a justice who consented to marry them. They came to Dakota because no license is required, and were probably elopers. The new measure urged in the legislature will cut off this sort of visitations, to the loss of jus tices and hotel men. Farmers in Pembina county do not like to pay the high prices asked for trees lor plant ing. The editor of the Hamilton News says he has grown hundreds of thousands of spruce, burch and Scotch fir from the seed. He sows it broadcast like onion seed in a bed.

Dell Myers, of Sargent, in the county of that name, who not long since eloped with a man of not virtuous repute, and went to Fargo, wrote to her mother that her object was to get rid of her "ever tired and shiftless husband."

A.R.post at Dlana,ln Sanborn county, passed resolutions not only urging the pass age of the dependent pgfcslon bill over the president's veto, but the passage of a bill granting pensions to all persons who served in the war, regardless of their needs or con dition since. This would seem to cover the whole ground, provided the pensions are made large enough. __L_liߣa-WM The temperance petitions to the legislature being so numerously signed in the South are in favor of the bill introduced by Mr. Ward, of Turner county, or a similar meas ure prohibiting the existence of breweries, distilleries or saloous under heavy penalties, and also prohibiting common carriers from bringing liquor into the territory under pen alty Of $1,000. ;;;•;-:. A party of Russians in one of the new counties near the Missouri river was caught out in the hills by a blizzard and camped three da» s for the! storm to subside.

As the animal was worth $75 it wrenched them terribly to feed on so costly meat There is a revival of the idea that beet sugar can be made with groat profit in Da kota. The soil and climate are ; especially adapted to root crops, and it is claimed that from thi rty to fifty tons of beets can be grown to the acre. It would be well if there were experimental stations to thoroughly test this anu oilier desired productions. Gettysburg Is the county seat of Potter county, and on the line of •' the Northwestern extension to the river.

Andrew Veltch, in Western Grand Forks county, has lived on his homestead seven years and had his final proof rejected twice, but on the third trial has succeeded by an order from Commissioner Sparks. The ob- . stacle in his way was that he had 183 acres, while but 160 are allowed in one entry— but he holds his 183 acres. Some people think the legislature is not giving the territory desirable advertisement abroad in proposing to furnish seed wheat to indigent farmers. They say that in a land supposed to be flowing with milk and hoi ey the better way would be to lot every county see to its own destitute without publication abroad. Peter Gibbons, who was recently found frozen to death near South Heart, in Villard couuty, proves to be a man whose where abouts bad been unknown by his relatives for years, and that some circumstances not vet explained had caused him to go to the border of civilization und ostracise himself from all society. Petitions are being circulated in Bottineau protesting against the bill In the legislature carving the new counties of Church and Pierce out of that and adjacent counties. One of the objections urged is that it is not provided that the part cut off from Bottineau shall assume its proportion of the county debt. Some of those in the extreme south that have a little spare money are realizing re markable profits from speculations in the Sioux City boom. G. T. Salmer, of Vermil lion, claims he has netted 32,000 clean on a $1,500 investment. He went down there last week to blow in $5,000 or $10,000 more. The entire population of Forraan, in Sar gent county, turned out one morning last week to enjoy the most beautiful mirages ever visible there. All the towns within twenty miles could be distinguished quite distinctly, and some at a greater distance could be recognized. This sort of incident reported by the Cando Tribune is quite common tn Dakota: "Miss Lily Lewis was in Cando on Wednesday, mak ing arrangements for the coming season's work. She has purchased a yoke of oxen, and proposes to farm her own place the com ing summer." It is believed at Pierre that the appointment of their mayor as commissioner of immigra tion will aid greatly to direct attention to that section, and bring to it a much larger share of the migration than heretofore. Hence they love Gov. Church for the appointment he has made. Amusements nr3 scarce at Lead City, so that at a recent trial before a justice, while tho court went out" to take a drink, the at torneys and spectators formed a ring and al lowed the plaintiff and defendant to tight until the court returned, when the trial was resumed. The farmers in Pembina county have learned this winter that 6tock do extremely well on straw without hay, and they will not burn it as they have been accustomed to in years past. It will stimulate the raising of stock if they can be wintered so cheaply. Dr. Dubois, of Decatur, 111., visited Eddy county some time since, and was so pleased with the country that he secured a tree claim. He is soon to return with a small colony and accept the charge of the Congre gational church at New Rockford. The law forbids the selling of liquor within three miles of tho university at Vermillion, which covers the whole city. The local Law and Order league is bringing suits against the dealers, and mean to wear them out and make the place a prohibition city. Since two or three Southern men have been appointed judges and land officers in Dakota there is a great increase of inquiry from that section in regard to the inducements for {mi gration, and it is said that a good mifiiy from Kentucky are coming this season. . The Dell Rapids Times is of the opinion that the "gopher industry," under the recent act of the legislature^ wilfprov.e . very lucra tive to those who improve the opportunity, and says that applications for territory should be made to Ira Swain, Bismarck. Last week A. B. Stickler, the leading hard ware merchant at Stanton,' in Mercer county, became the envied father of the first child born iv that town— a girl, of course. There have been no premiums offered there for in crease in this way.

The Blunt Nonpareil says that many parties who have been paying taxes on proved -up claims, but who have had their entries can celled, refuse to pay any more taxes, and the county boards insist that somebody must pay them.

This county has no railroad but ex pects one this season, and has the smallest population of any organized county in Da kota. By an accurate gauge kept at Mandan this winter the amount of snowfall will make 2.65 inches of water, and is more than double that of the winter before. Further south on the Missouri river the snow fall is much greater. The Baptist university at Tower City, by the munificence of Mr. and Mrs. Charle- tmigne, or ruiiaueipnia, lias now oeen in op eration three months, and is getting a good start, having thirty-two students. In spite of the suit for libel brought against him by Dr. O'Keefe, the editor of the Minto Journal insists upon the truth of his allega tions and makes some additions to them. The facts will come out on the trial. llt is said that the Grandin line of boats on the Red river will take the wheat to Grand Forks in place of Fargo tho coming season, as the navigation is better, and will also build two elevators at Grand Forks.

AT A MINING CENTER. i Two Events Which Have Created Im mense Excitement Among Specu lators at Deadwood, And the Connection Which the Cashier of the Merchants' National Has With Them. ' How Gen. Sturgis Dropped a Large Sum of Money Belonging to Ills Grandchildren. A Reporter With a Trunk Full of Souvenirs of the Big Boom in Iron 11111. Special to the Globe. * Deadwood, Dak., March 4. The ques tion of absorbing interest now is, can the new Deadwood Mining Stock exchange "bull" the market more than the recent bank failures and the manipulations of Cashier Fox can depress it? A hopeful 'feature for shareholders is that that gentle man is out of the market. He certainly was no mascot at any time. His dump of Iron Hill stock last fall so demoralized everything that it was only a few days ago that stocks began to rally; and just as the new exchange opened hopefully down went his banks with about $200,000 of deposits. But Fox is no longer a factor in speculation or. business. It is said that he is as com plete a wreck, physically, mentally and morally as the Merchants' National is financially. He stands or sits A HAGGARD WATCHMAN over the closed vaults, waiting for the bank examiner to come from Washington, wait ing tor his senior and relative, Stebbins, to come to the rescue. Stebbins has done nothing except to telegraph his willingness to put up $50,000 to resume if the public will put up enough more and guarantee continuous deposits enough and be real good to the banks, to insure solvency and re store lost confidence One incident of many that are now at last freely talked of may suffice for illustration: . Last summer when that gallant and ply-honest old soldier. Gen. Sturgis, was retired on half pay and left the Fort Meade command, he placed an order with Fox to purchase a thousand shares of Iron Hill, the then price being §6. Fox expressed doubts' as to his ability to obtain the stock .for that price, but promised to do his best. Weeks elapsed and Fox reported the order not filled in his letters to Gen. Sturgis, who 1....1 !.,+'. .1... t. : ii— \r — — ...i.:l~ *l.« "—..:..,. ..c nau leir- me tuns, jueanwuue tne price or Iron Hill was STEADILY DECLINING. It ran along thus until Gen. Sturgis re turned to Deadwood to find Iron Hill down to near $1. He countermanded his order and was told by Fox that the stock had been purchased for his account at SO, and the 1,000 shares was tendered him. The date at which the $6,000 was drawn from Stur gis' account in Chicago by Fox showed that that sum then would have bought two or three thousand shares, instead ot 1,000, in open market; indeed, circumstances indi cate that the transfer of stock was not made until the minute that Gen. Surgis appeared to countermand the order. The matter seems more affecting because the money was a trust belonging to the grandchildren of the old soldier, a fact that I am told Fox was apprised of in advance. In another similar case, that of Mr. Ilolden, the cattle man, restitution was compelled from Fox; but the veteran was too sensitive and humiliated to -go into-' court with the matter, lt is generally believed now that Fox's break of the stock market was to stay the tottering banks, but the manner of his madness had little method of remedy in it. There was a great boom in mining shares last spring. Iron Hill, the favorite, went above $7 and THE ENTIRE LIST SOARED. Everybody ••went long."' New compa nies multiplied, some of them based on a prospect bole and a stock certificate. Min ers, merchants, washerwomen, navvies took hold; the very editors and ""-printers, who had struck of certificates at a cent apiece, paid dollars for them, a stamp and signature being added. A local reporter told me that he had "a trunk full of sou venirs of the boom." Then came a reac tion. Iron Hill went down slowly to $.">. Everybody tried to brace the market: to be a bull then was as much a patriotic duty as it was In ISOI to stand by the Union. While everybody else was whistling to keep his courage up, and urging everybody else not to sell, Fox, treasurer ofthe Irom Hill company, appeared on the steps of his bank offering large blocks of the stock at $2. It was useless to boost when the officers of the company were cut ting the legs from under their own prop- erty. it was a meat-ax mow tnrotigu a strained and inflated balloon. Everything went to the "detnnition bow-wows.*' Iron Hill came down by the run to about 50 cents. Orders from outside stopped short, as grandfather's clock; and, as for home capitalists, they were loaded to the guards already with stocks— so there was no one to • unload upon. Shares could not be hypothecated for loans. By common con sent and _E_9 COMMON* NECESSITY. forcible collection of debts was suspended; assessments for work on mining properties were discontinued and sales of stocks de linquent on assessments already levied were waived in the case of home delin quent*. With foreign shareholders it was sometimes different, however. 1 know a case where an assessment was levied by the local directors on a stock largely held outside. When certain of the outside stock holders had paid ill advance of date of de linquency, another meeting of the resident directors was held and the assessment was declared off, but no effort on the part of those who had paid couid ever secure a re turn of their money; in one case the repu table officers of the company pleaded in ability to return an assessment of 86.25. Across the romantic canyon that is the portal to Deadwood might have been 'writ ten "The dollar that enters here leaves hope behind.'' But these camps are filled with men who have considerable money and more "sand." The mines furnish a constant '■'% ' SOURCE OF WEALTH and rally from misfortune comes quickly. ' Already the effects of the bank failures are discounted, save by the miners and laborers who had $50,000 in the Central City ' branch. Men take the matter philosophic ally and even think charitably of Cashier : Fox. But one can read In the operations of the exchange the mingled signs of pluck, hopefulness and straitened finances. There is only one side to the speculation as yet, and the transactions are small. Every body is a '•bull." There is absolutely no short Interest, and no dealing in futures at all. All day and every day they try to boost each other's stocks, while the crowd of spectators, each fingering the little bundle of certificates NEXT HIS HEART, anxiously watches the black board. The size of tbe offering in each case is carefully ganged by the , price; 100 or 200 shares of any stock worth over a dollar seems to be the limit of the game; while stocks that are rated at I or 2 cents are boldly flung out in thousand-share blocks. The veteran broker of the Hills said to-day: "There is -so little money that we have .to ileal according to our pile at present." All are unanimous in predicting another j big stock boom inside of six weeks— with i that optimism that is so characteristic of ! mining communities. Why shouldn't they pre diet and work for it? The influences against them are the undeveloped condition of most of the properties represented by stock cer tificates and the scarcity of money. Already, j there is complaint of wild-cat stocks being listed by the exchange committee. And whence is the money to come to let all the holders unload at a profit? Twioehop. ABERDEEN'S ANSOUTIHEST Of Breezy News Items of Interest to at Least a Few People. Special to tho Globe ,;'".-, Aberdeen, Dak., March 4.— The past few days has so thawed the snow on the toboggan slide that the electric light has been removed and the winter's sport is probably at an end. Owing to storms dur | ing the winter the slide has been closed the : greater part of. the time, but like many more Dakota towns this winter, it stands a monument to the winter sport. ■ Considera ble difficulty has been experienced by the different roads running into this city during the past two weeks in keeping open, and for the past six days the Milwaukee road has been unable to get a train from Minne apolis. Other roads are making irregular connections. The Baptist social which was to have been held at the residence of Dr. Huestis was postponed on account of tem perance meetings. Among the Aberdeen Visitors to Bismarck during the past week are John T. McChesney, J. Q. A. Braden, Maj. F. Howe, County Treasurer Williams, 0. T. McCoy, C. A. Bliss, Gen. L. N. H. Harris. C. W. Starling and our repiesent ative, Hon. A. W. Campbell. The city is still full of commercial ; men anxiously awaiting trains on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul to continue their trips. Hon. D. W. Diggs. president of the Dakota Bankers' association, has been in the city several days during the week. An electric light was placed in Marple's building Wed nesday to furnish light for the temperance meetings being held there nightly. The ladies of the Presbyterian church will give a corn social at the A. O. U. W. hall Fri day evening. A variety of refreshments will be served, all of which will use corn in some manner. The Hotel Artesian changed hands March 1, Mr. Finch" retiring and the Mentor Bros. assuming control. The popular house will be kept up to its former standard. The city marshal is enforcing the city or dinance regarding dogs without licenses, and over twenty-five ownerless dogs have been shot during the week. Henry Good win left for the East this week to visit Chicago and Eastern points :on a business trip. John Tarrant, of Murdock, has been snow-bound on his way to visit his claim near Bowdle, for the past week. Many re quests are being received by the United States land officers here for extensions of time in proving up and contesting claims on account of the snow blockade. Ordway people seem to think they have been send ing a representative to Bismarck looking after their Ordway university for no benefit to themselves, as the university has been renamed the Aberdeen university and is. as the bill reads, to be located a mile and a half from the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul depot. Most of the machinery of the Aberdeen plow factory has arrived and the shops are in running order. ' Several ship ments already have been made of harrows, etc. The factory will manufacture har rows, plows, cultivators and land rollers. Charles N. Harris and George W. Jenkins will leave for Bismarck Thursday night to help look after the interests of Central Da kota. '77 r ~ , ' SB DAKOTA DOTS AND DASHES. The offering of bounties for gopher tails in many of the counties where they have been f*o destructive to crops have incited the genius of inveutors to turn the pests to profit. The editor of the Valley City Times has met the most notable success in this. He first devised a machine that blew a sulphur ous smudge into the holes and suffocated the animals. He found that while this killed the gophers it furnished him no tails to draw bounty on. Hence he has invented an appara tus which, applied at the opening of'the holes, exhausts the air and sucks the . gopher up into the machine. An automatic knife then cuts off his tail, which is all tho county re quires. A salve is applied to the wouud, which, it is claimed, will cause the tail to grow out again, and he passes out to resume his work. As another county pays bounty for heads, he proposes to arrange a second knife that will take off the head aud secure a second bounty. The bodies, he claims, can be used at cheap boarding houses. He will secure a patent. Nearly every locality has a record of freez ing or narrow escape in the blizzards of the winter. A somewhat peculiar case was that of a German named Mann, in the west part of Ransom county. He started home from town, about fifteen miles, and on the way a storm overtook him. He wondered about until sunset, when he saw a house so near that he began to unhitch his I. --os to find shelter. But though so m .- the storm was so severe that he lost sight of the house and wandered about two hours before he found it. He led one horse, leaving the other to follow, but it stuck in a suow drift and was afterwards taken out on a sled almost frozen and taken care of. In the morning it seemed all right, and, when the stable door was open, dashed out and run home. Tne man followed with the other one, and when he reached there found the flrst horse in his stall dead. It was a singular case, and no solution of it is given. Two years ago Charles F.Kunzman.a young man wbo had come to Dakota to seek his for tune, was holding down his claim and "keep ing bach" in his lonely shack. That sort of life leads the mind irresistibly to matrimony, and Charley indicated his longing to a neigh bor. The latter gave him the name of a young lady in Ohio. Charles wrote to her aud she replied. The past month Charles went to Ohio to see the young lady whose photograph had adorned his bedpost for a long time. They were mutually satisfied, and | Miss Rosa D. Halm, of De Graff, returns with j him as his wife to a pleasant home in Buffalo county. There arc said to be 25,000 other bachelors in Datota, half of whom probably have claims, and would be clad to marry if eligible parties were put within their reach: Clay county in the extreme south has been settled over twenty-five years, and the Re publican.now in its twenty-seventh year.per ceives a decided change in the seasons in the way of increase of snow and cold. It states that in early times there was little sleighing, and farmers always expected to commence sowing wheat in Februaty. The winter of 'SI was the nearest like the present. It had twenty-two niches of snow against fourteen the past winter. The '81 winter was not so steadily cold as the one just closing the lat ter being the longest and coldest in twenty years. In the spring of '81 was the great Hood, the greatest of which there is on record. The ice has been going out so rapidly from below that it is hoped a serious flood will be avoided. j— _jff A young man at Carbonate, who was in clined to practical joking, carried on a corre spondence for a time with an unknown young lady in the East "for mutual.informa tion, perhaps with a view to matrimony." He procured the photograph of the village hotel keeper and sent it to her as his own. The young lady was so pleased that she finally agreed to come out to Dakota and iiuiiry her supposed correspondent. She came out recently and is stopping at the hotel, but the joker had disappeared. The situation is very embarrassing for the lady. The hotel man would marry her were he not already engaged to another girl. Some parties are using the fact that a ma jority of the Democrats in Col. Benton's county refused to vote for Mr. Day as dele gate last fall, as a basis for tbe charge that his appointment as treasurer was designed to be specially obnoxious to Mr. Day. As a mat of fact, Mr. Benton voted for Day and advised others to do so, but he was engaged in a local contest, Which was carried to a brilliant success, that did not allow Demo cratic politics to be made prominent. He is not identified with any of the personal feuds among leading Democrats in the territory.. One of the high officials of the Manitoba railroad, in reply to a request for sidetracks at some point on the Western extension from Devil's Lake, said the road would have neither time nor material for any switches or branches this season, as every man," tie and rail would be needed for the main line which it was designed, to complete to Great Falls in Montana before the snow flics. It is said the work of track laying is to go on day and night with the aid of the most approved devices for speed. The job set for the road is a big one for the short season in which such work can be done. 7 . The Missouri and Western regions that suf fered so badly from drought last season are comforted with the old Indian theory that deep snows in the mountains insure ample moisture for the crops and a productive sea son. All those regiou? need for big yields is plenty of rain, and they can hardly have too much as tho soil is somewhat sandy. .

Happy Betrothal to a Millionaire and the Latter's Sudden Death. A New Home, a New Husband and a Hopeful Outlook For the Future. Special Correspondence of the Globe. Fall River, Mass., March 2.—lnfor mation has reached here from the Black Hills of a happy ending of what has been one of the most romantic adventures that has ever befallen hapless woman. The news is brought by a stray copy of the Black Hills Daily Pioneer, which recite*, the marriage In Deadwood a few weeks ago of Mrs. Lizzie Manchester and Charles Rosebrough. The paper congratulates Mr. Rosebrough on his selection and pays a pretty compliment to the many charms of his bride. Mrs. Manchester is a native of this city, where she has many friends, gained to her by the Christian-like fortitude exhibited in passing through and overcom ing vicissitudes that would have overwhelmed with despair one less courageous and confident in the strength of her religion. She is still young, and it seems almost incredible that she has borne up so under her mul titude of trials. Her maiden name was Manlxey, and she was raised in the family of Stafford Road, one of the most prosper ous citizens engaged in manufacturing in this place. When quite young she met George Manchester, a good looking chap, who frequented Road's house, and ulti mately fell in love with her. Despite the protestations and warning of Mr. Road, who was but too. well acquainted with young Manchester's habits, she insisted on her course and finally married him. Man chester, she told Mr. Road at the time, had promised faithfully to reform his habits and settle down to a quiet life. Mr. Road never forgave his advice being slighted, but he did well by the pair. Manchester was set up in business, and then he WASHED HIS nAXDS of both as far as further advice or assist- ance went. For three years Manchester kept his word and the pair resided happily together, having two children born to them. Soon after the birth of the second one the husband began to grow negligent and went back to bis old companions and dissipated ways, so forgetting his family that his wife had to take in sewing. She still loved him and continued supporting him until she had undeniable proof that his affections were centered elsewhere. Then she broke down. She could stand anything but faithlessness, and so she sorrowfully separated from the man who for years she iliad, worshiped and served. Separation failed fully to rid her of her persecutor's presence and as a last resort she was compelled to seek the re dress of the courts, which at once granted her - * : ■ AX ABSOLUTE DIVORCE and the custody of her two children. She was then thrown on her own resources. Her law suit and troubles with Manchester had impaired her health and ruined her growing business, so that she was without a cent. Too proud to seek aid of • the Roads, who had virtually cast her " off upon her wedding day, she determined to seek means of sustenance elsewhere. Through the intercession of friends she had one of her children sent to the Children's home, an admirably conducted institution here, and the other was kindly adopted by au old schoolmate of hers, who had married a gentleman of the name of Drew. Leaving Fall river she went to a neighboring town and engaged herself AS A DOMESTIC but the life was too hard for one so reared as she, and she was forced to leave, and as the winter was coming on accepted a posi tion as waitress in the same place. . No one knew her, and as she during that time did not communicate with any of her friends here, no one knew of her altered circum stances. She soon, however, became a great favorite through her gentle and win ning ways, and won such golden opinion from her employer that he never failed In public to praise her good qualities. This reaching the ears of the proprietor of one of the many summer hotels upon the Isles of Shoals, she had a very tempting offer made to her in the coming spring to go to the islands when the season opened, being prof fered the position of head waitress. She accepted, particularly as she felt sure that the BRACING SEA AIR would improve her failing health. Before the summer had fairly begun, she was the most popular girl in the hotel. Residing there at the time was a wealthy retired gentleman from Illinois, named Appleby, who became greatly attached to the sweet face of the girl that waited on him, and, this attachment growing into a stronger passion, he finally, before leaving for bis home, told her of his love, and, seeing in him an honorable man, able to protect and care for her, she accepted him. He at once left for the West to prepare for her a home when she came. At the same time he gave her some $500 to procure her fitting ap parel, and to enable her to come back to Fall Kiver and get her two children, when she was to start at once tor Chicago. Her return to her old home was a genuine sur prise for all, being all the more cordial on account of HER GOOD FORTUNE. While here her intended telegraphed he/to hurry, as his departure from the seaside had caused a return of the bad health he had come East to avoid. So to expedite matters she set out at once. She took the child the Drews hail and. going to the home, carried off the other child she found there playing in the yard, without notifying any of the inmates. The result was, that after she departed there was a great sensation raised, as the officers of the home, finding the child missing, concluded that she had. been kidnaped. This was all during last summer, and after three days she arrived at Chicago to learn that her intended hus band had died the day before while she was on the road, the news telegraphed of the sad affair having flashed past her on the way. Thus she found herself with no friends and with little money. She found a boarding- place and, after making inqui ries, found that Deadwood, Dak., offered . GOOD INDUCEMENTS for a dressmaker. Seeing no other alterna tive she decided to resume her old occupa- , tion, bought tickets for herself and little family and took them to her new home. Here success seem's to at once have become assured, for she prospered from the moment she landed till the moment she had the good fortune to meet her present protector. Her friends here have heard the most satisfac tory reports from Mr. Rosebrough, and unite with the Pioneer in wishing the happy couple God-speed. Young men writing out to Dakota from Eastern cities inquiring for chances for clerk ships or light employment in towns, are not given encouragement of the kind desired, aa there is a surplus of clerks and the pay is light. They are given the advice of ' the old Scotchman, "Get hold of the land, me boy, get hold of the land." "Soft " snaps" are not lying around loose, but it is believed that for the Industrious young man who is willing to work and wait there is no more inviting field, or one that promises more certain reward for well directed effort. : : ;.'• New s_»r~.*.i*_ Dress Goods In the latest shades at McLain's, 384 "vTa-j • basha street. \
