EDEN ITEMS.

Personal Gossip, Crops. nn<l l'ollties. AVe need rain very much. Weather still continues extremely warm. The piling on the wagon bridge was

completed on Wednesday last. Ouite a serious accident happened to

A. Holt while out hunting on last Satur­day, by a premature explosion of his gun. Had three fingers of his loft hand quite seriously injured. Drs. Clark ami Brown of Canton, dressed the hand, which is a guarantee that he will in a short time be able to attend to his duties in the St. Croix Lumber yard.

The caucus met here on Saturday last and as usual the Pettigrew men carried the day electing six delegates to the Can­ton convention on the 26th—who were instructed to vote first last ami all the time for R. F. Pettigrew for delegate to congress and J. W. Taylor, of Canton, for district attorney.

Sheriff Dickson, J. W. Taylor and the enterprising and wide-awake proprietor of the Canton ADVOCATE spent one day here last week on business.

Eden did not go three to one for the Hand delegates as the little ring predict­ed. It was astonishing to see long faces they wore when the ballot was sounded on the /ote for chairman viz. 61 to 24—one of their would be leaders got demoralized on the first fire and did not put in an ap­pearance again during the balance of the one sided contest, bul started saying fare­well vain world I am a going home. On his way he was heard to mutter, the post-office is gone, alas all is gone, all my fu­ture hopes are nipped in the bud.

The gravel train did not vote in Eden last Saturday according to instructions.

The Bulgarian Monk delivered a very interesting lecture on the tenets of the Greek church, and other eastern topics to a slim house on Saturday evening last.

William Ball has had a piano tuner from New York city, the past ten days. It must cost a snug little sum.

The livery business has been extremely good here the past two weeks. The pro­prietors of the two stables here say they had not stock enough to supply the de­mand. But will be better prepared when the fall campaign commences.

Eden township elected six good and true men to the county convention.

Somebody tell us the particulars about those captured dispaches that were gobbled on Saturday last.

Says little Willie Ball when lie found he got loft as y. IJand delegate at our cau­cus, won't you please mention my name favorably as a delegate to the Grand Forks convention. I am for Hand or Hughes, whichever are the strongest. •> »> ^

Hughes lias bepn praying and preach­ing in the rural tQwijs of Lincoln county in some towns in favor of himself in others in favor of Hand. That's too transparent, Elleck. You had better be at Yankton attending to tlio duties of your grain office.

Caucus called to order by chairman E. J. Harris and H. T. Fitch were put in nomination for chairman, E. J. Harris elpctpd without much opposition.

A. Holt ^1)4 J; H: Bridgeman were elected secretaries.

P. H. FrittsandJ. A. Warner were elected tellers.

On motion the six delegates be voted for on one ticket, carried. When the fol­lowing delegates were elected by a vote of 56 to 24—A. B. Wheelock, W. K. Slade, JS. J. Harris, George Pierce, J. B. Brad­ley and P. H. j?rltu.

On motion of J, H, Bridgeman tlia following resolution was introduced and carried unaniously. Adjourned.

Resolved, That the delegates elected to the County Convention use all honora­ble means for the selection of delegates to the Territorial and District Conventions, favoif&blg to the nomination of R. F. Pet­tigrew as delegate to congress and J. W. Taylor for district, attorney.

The Yankton Combination Fail to Make Their Little Game Win.

The last township caucus was held on Wednesday ^veiling in Delaware"; town­ship and although the \ ankton crowd had th :ir blowers and strikers on the ground during the entire week, they signally fail­ed to •capture the caucus. It is said to have been the most, hotly contested cau­cus in the county, anil the result was an uninstructcd delegation, of which two are for Pettigrew and two for Hand. Hughes Ordway X" Co. The following is a sum­mary of the result in the county, as re­ported to us at the present time:

is counted to be lor Pettigrew oil a lull vote, and it ivas by holding a snap cau­cus before the voters all arrived that the Combination niairiged to make even the showing of a contest. I; is also claimed that three or four of the delegates from other townships are favorable to Petti­grew personally and will be inclined to throw lor him when they fully understand the double iranie that is being played to defeat liiin. Several townships that were known to be solid for Pettigrew were cap­tured by the opposition who begged as a personal favor for votes at the caucuses; but upon second thought these delegates frill see their error and resume their judg­ment. From all we can gather then we are forced to the conclusion that Lincoln county is for Pettigrew by a good major­ity. and that the convention on Saturday will but mirror the sentiments of the peo­ple, by selecting "eleven good and reliable men to vote and work for R. F. Pettigrew at the Territorial Convention at Grand Forks.

Announcement. My entire stock will be sold at cost, un­

til fall opening, which 1 asure you will be complete. Mrs. K, M. Weils.

Announcement. We expect to receive a large bill of dry

goods in a day or two that was bought for the new store, now as we can't get into the new quarters as early as we expected we will open this stock aud oiler it with the ballance of our stock at cost. This

.will be an opportunity of getting dry goods cheaper than they have ever been offered in this country. This offer will only hold good for a few days. At I lie post-office.

The City Caucus.

The Republican caucus of the City of Canton was held at the Court house last Friday pursuant to call of the Republican Central Committee. At* the appointed time a large number of voter.-? were assem­bled; but it was soon evident that Petti­grew was tin.' favorite candidate, and so it proved. The caucus was called to order byM. M. Clark. Chairman of the Repub­lican Central Committee, who read the call. \V. M. Cuppett was nominate das chairman and elected by a unanimous vote: and as he walked upon the stage his friends broke out in a round of applause to their chief. C. W. liar.lion was elected Secretary of the Caucus and the Chairman announced the organization ready, for business. The work was soon done I poo motion it was determined to elect seven delegates to the county convention, and the follow­ing named gentlemen were then selected by a majority of at least live to one: Win. M. Cuppett. A. F. Rudolph. O. N. Rus­sell, O. H. Wetlauler. Gilbert Satramr, N. J. House and 1>. H. Hawn. It is needless to say that they are all stalwart Pettigrew men; and like the Old Guard, they die but never surrender.

To the ladies especially. Now if you desire something new and novel for neck wear go to Mrs. E. M. Wells for Lawn Polka Hot, Fichus, Neckerchiefs, Pocket Handkerchief's and Plush Neck Ribbons in popular shades.

Business and town lots are on the in­

crease in price.

Canton is booming. New stores and private dwellings are going up.

Another Y is needed at the passenger

depot. Our grain buyers. Reed and Marsh, are

home men and they pay the highest price for anything in their line.

Canton takes no back seat on livery rigs. The town supports two good livery stables and good rigs and careful drivers are in attendance.

Any one needing information as regards Aurora county will please drop a line to J. D. Miracle, Plankington. He is a per sonal friend of ye editor.

A. B. Wheelock, Dan Hawn, Attorney Gilford, Dr. Clark, S. C. Madole and a few other acquaintances of ours are stand­ing the hot weather. Seeing that they do not find fault we have no causc to en­ter complaint.

The best joke of the season happened in a town not a hundred thousand miles from here. A member of a certain firm being desirous of obtaining a certain office wrote a prominent politician, asking his aid. The same day another member of the firm wrote the same politician, on the same letter head, asking that he help him get the same office, The politician wrote the same answer to each, informing him that a dear, mutual friend had applied for the some position, and was very sorry, etc. Thus has ambition been dashed to the ground.

No need to go awav from home now when you want furniture. You will find elegant and tasty bed-room sets at all prices at the store of II. Woerz, next door to this office.

some time but is 011 the mend. The Misses Dixon, Smith and Lull, of

Canton, were the guests of the Levitts Thursday and Friday.

Ail excursion train passed through here enroute for Chamberlain, one day last week.

A new seven foot sidewalk adorns the front of Miss Hattie Loomis' millcncry.

Loomis & Thatcher have just received a large assortment of breach and muzzle loading guns, now boys is the time to get you a good gun.

The town caucus was held last Satur­day evening and three delegates were elected to attend the county convention and cast their little mite for Hughes.

Fanners don't forget that Fred Gerbpr pays the highest market juice for all kinds of grain- Besides when you deal with Fred you aro sure of getting full weight. Yours truly,

Pleasant Correspondence.

Editor ADVOCATE—Dakota is just at present obtaining the attention of many parries at the east and information regard­ing our climate and railroad facilities, are in demand- Scarcely a week passes but some of my eastern correspondents solicit the fyvur of aDakgtit raper and I invariably respond to siich call, qy'sending return post, copies of our three county papers. I am constantly in receipt of letters of thanks therefor and of congratulation and praise of our publications. Such letters com pell me to believe that we, as a peo­ple, do not fully realize how well our journalists are sustaining the credit of our new country and to that end I would like to suggest that more of ouf eitizens uould furnish the local news from their neigh­borhoods and that they would mail oc­casional copies to their friends east; cer­tain as they may feci that they will be thankfully received.

The record of Dakota's prosperity, and development is one ot which her citizens may justly feel proud. Yours for our home.

MRS. CELIA A. WHXZLQOK.

Guilty.

Shylock—Is that the law? Portia—Thyself shall seo th« act!

For as thou urgest jus tee be assur'd Thou shult have justice. More than thou de-siro it.

Guilty! was the response of the fore­man of the jury in the scrip cases to the court, on Tuesday just as day was dawn­ing and the gray streaks of morning gave way to the pioneer tints of the rising sun, and Wrn. I). Russell realized that his doom was sealed, and his career in crime ended, at least for a time. To him alone night had come, at the sound of that word—' guilty!" but to those iu the cause of right and justice, monting in all bright­ness had indeed dawned, the glad herald of coming day, that assured those who were wavering from doubt to faith from faith to doubt—that justice can at last be meted out in Yankton, and crime and conspiracy, clad in its loathsome garb of treachery, deception and villaiuy can be made to stand u-p in our midst and cry out, I nclean! Unclean! Unclean. Guilty! That word sends its thrill to the prisoner —but with grateful hearts it will be wel­comed to the utmost parts of this Terri­tory. It indeed heralds coming day, for our people, when fraud in every shape will meet its reward, as the example of the action of this jury and the magenet-isin of that verdict, will shatter the foun­dations of criminal schemes and bring down the castles in the air upon the schemers themselves.

If laws delays, quiros. quibbles, techni­calities and bribed jurymen are sure loop­holes for escape of criminals, what can prevent the increase of such a pestilence in our midst? If the majesty of the law is booted at and defied on every side what safeguard have our people? None whatever, and it should be a cause for general thanksgiving that there are twelve men to be found, high toned, unapproach­able and honorable men, with back-bone enough to unite upon a verdict and ex­press it without fear. It is very deplor­able that in our community, personal feeling in matters especially where the government is prosecuting, is_ carried to such an injurious extent that it is utterly out of the question to think of making up a panel of jury men from our towosmsn. Sympathy makes way with them and jus­tice has no show. It really bscomes al­most an i 111 possiblity for the government to look for anything else but defeat here and the trial becomes a disheartening, farcical and expensive task. So singular, too, when the place is filled with long tongued bleating Republicans, continually crying up the adminsisration party, and the government still lives, whilf in their hearts and by their acts they are doing everything in ilieir power to kill it, while our Democratic community, cradled in honor and reared in the spirit of high toned principles of right, are true to them­selves, royal to our government and irre­spective of who hold the reins, devote their energies as far as possible to see that it does live, in that right must be above wrong, and the guilty do not escape the punishment that guilt merits. All thanks are due to the jury in this case. It is an example that must be followed, and the remaining two of the happy trio—Camer­on and Carpenter—will likewise meet with their just reward, and when _ the clanking sound of the iron doors will be closed upon them all then of the honest community will breathe an air of relief, and lifting up their grateful hearts say, ;'Thank God for that,"

General' Harrison Allen Installed as United States Marshal Tor Dakota.

[Yankton P. and D.]

General Harrison Allen took the oath of office this morning before Chief Jus­tice Edgerton and is now United States marshal for the district of Dakota. Gen­eral Allen comes to us from Pennsylva­nia and brings with him recommenda­tions from the leading statesmen of the land, all of which are decidedly to the credit of Dakota's junior official. His appointment was made without any soli­citation upon his part and was as much of a surprise to him as to the people of our territoiy. He designed making a trip to this garden spot of the west for the purpose of investing some Jnioney in lands and letting his investment grow up with the country. But the fortunes of politics have placed him here as a citizen of Dakota, and judging from his expressions of delight, he is not disposed to complain about this particular decree of fate. lie has visited many other ter­ritories and has mining interests in Col­orado. He has mingled with the lead­ing men of the nation in his public labors, and has enjoyed an extended civil and military acquaintance during his active career. After all of this ho says he has nowhere met a more intelligent and cor dial people than those who have greeted him since his arrival in Dakota. General Allen says he expects to make Yankton his home, though he will first make a tour of the domain before settling down to the labors of his position.

The induction into office of General Allen retires from public scrvice ex-.Mar­shal John B. Raymond, of Fargo. For nearly five years he has occupied this place and during the entire period of his service lie has given perfect, satisfaction to the government and ta the people whom he has so faithfully served, lie has established himself in Dakota and has engaged in extensive agricultural oper­ations, which will retain him as a citizen of the coming state. To-day be stands near the head of the public favorites, and when northern Dakota becomes a govern­ment organization by itself he will be among the first to receive honors from its people* •

We bid a kindly farewell to the retiring marshal*and welcome his successor into the fold of "pVogress with the belief that he will aid us, as has his predecessor, in carving out a glorious future for the state of Dakota.

The Wounds of Garibaldi. The London Xews thus describes^ the

ten wounds of Garibaldi: "The follow­ing are some particulars respecting them: Two wounds in tli£ "ncek_~ana throat, at first believed to be' mortal, were received in 182.3, in Uruguay, in a sea-fight against the Dictator: two wounds in the right arm at the sea light of liio Plata in is:;?, every officer and man near (iaril>aidi being killed or wounded; one wound in the abdomen, on the 30th of April lfvl' .i, while fight-ing against the French 011 the Janieu-lum. The wound was not dangerous, but excessively painful, and Garibaldi concealed his sufferings until the, battle was over. On the 8th of May. 1849, at Velletri, lie was knocked oil 'his horse by the Neapolitans and trampled on.— He received one bayonet ami one sword wound, and was rescued by a band of mere boys who were engaged in the fight. On the 2'.i:h 01 August. 1S(!2. he was w«u:nh-d in the thi^h by one of t 'tie royal Her-a;, ieri. A .-.—ond bullet-re­bounding*'.roke the ankle bone and re­mained in the v>or.nd. When extracted it exaetiy resembled in shape a cap of liberty. On the Fourth of July, ]866, ou his birthday, Garibaldi was wounded in the Tyrol by an Austrian bullet. It was a flesh wound in the thigh."

In Montana, on a day fixed for awed-ding, the bridegroom did not come to time. He was sued for breach of prom­ise, and showed that all the hours of the day specified he was treed by a bear.— The defense was deemed valid, he was forgiven, and that night there was a merry wedding.

Ayer's Ague Cure is the only medicine in existence which may be considered an absolute antidote for fever and ague, and kindred diseases. It not only affords im­mediate relief, but it eradicates the ma­larial poison which produces the disease, without leaving any enervating or injur­ious effect, as is the cause with many of ague medicines advertised.

Freeman P, Lane, Minneapolis, Minn., says. ''Two months ago one of my horses was badly kicked on the hip and the flesh torn away so that, the bone could be seen. I used Cole's Veterinary Car-bolisalve constantly, and to-day it is as well as ever. Another good point about it is that no scar is left.''

Much valuable time is lost by farmers on account of their horses having sore necks and shoulders. This can be easily avioded by using Cole's Veterinary Car-bolisalve. It prevents inflamatiom, cures collar and saddle galls quickly, while the horse is being used, and invariably brings the hs\ir in its original color. No owner of horses or cattle should be without it.

Nothing that will take its place—An other jewel to the crown of honor won by the grand achievements of an Iowa pro-duet. Messrs. Hyatt & Son, of Chilli-cQthe, Iowa, says: "We have been sell­ing Chamberlain's Colic, Colera and Di­arrhoea Rejmedy for about five years, and take pleasure in saying that it, has always given the best satisfaction. We never have to recommend it to a person but once There is nothing we know of that will
