Proprietor of the original town

three additions, all adjoining,
with a continuation of streets
and alleys. Part «1 wliich are

classes to be suited in procuring
a residence lot. The most de
sirable blocks on Main Street

desire to engage in business, and
great inducements are offered
to that class of men.
The climate in this part of

floored and is fully as mild
as that of Ohio, Indiana and Il

comes when most needed. The
water is free from any alkali

in any of the Eastern States. In

ed to the judgment of the court to
quash the indictment that there is not
a solitary act of his offioial life which
has no$ been throughout straightfor
ward and above board, and that he is
fearless of the result of investigation
that matters that come before the grand
jury will be submitted to Judge Boteler
ana Mr. Haight, of the commision, and

Judge Edgerton has finally rendered
a decision in a quo warranto case invol-,
ving the legality of the organization of
Sanborn county. In July of last year,'
in the absence of the governor and Sec
retary Teller, the latter's clerk issued a
set of commissions which had been
signed in blank by both officials to Ro
del, Tanneheit and Mitchell,who pro
ceeded to organize the county and lo
cate the county seat at Letoher. Gov.
Ordway repudiated this organization,
and a few days after appointed a new
.board, consisting of Corliss, Stuart and
Arnold, who made Forestburg the
county seat. Both boards have been
acting. In March last the case was ar
gued before Judge Edgerton at Mitchell,
and he decides that the first organiza
tion was legal.
Fargo Special: From every point in
North Dakota from which information
is obtainable come.tidings that the wheat
crop is an assured faot, and nothing is
now necessary to guarantee an excep
tionally large result of the season's work
but a few showers of rain. In several
localities even now rain would be bene
ficial, and even desirable, but there will
be but little complaint if the showers
hold their refreshing drops from the
fields for the next two weeks. Some
points, especially those that were visit
ed by last week's showers, do not need
any rain, an abundance having fallen.
The points needing tho moisture are
chiefly to the northwest, and in Griggs,
Steele and Barnes counties. Barley is
doing well, and, as considerable was
sown, the result of this, the first extend
ed effort to raise this grain, will be
watched with interest.
The report of the special co:
appointed by the city council to examine
the books of City Treasurer Brown, aiyl
which shows a shortage of $7,978.77,
created a great deal of excitement at
Raoine. The failure to make certain
entries and the loss of certain vouchers
have.led to the present complication.
