Address, TIIJG MITCHELL PKINTING Co Tin- K.ulcloeK case, at Sioux City, ifots no neaier a satisfactory conclusion very i'aat. The Sioux City Journal of Sunday consisted ot- eight pages, indicating an i publisher anil a live busi- ac-is community. Tiic Ouluth dally Tribune has sus- pt'iiJuU ptiDhcatioa for the very good rf.i^on that its proprietor has been laid up by illness and couldn't pay bis help. It will resume publication in the The llcdfteld Bun is unhappy because we have spoken well of Ashton, and construes it to mean hostility to ited- lield, Having a sure thing on the county seat for Hedlield, the Sun ought to lay off its green goggles, and get good natured. Positively the very latest is that Day lias withdrawn and that Church will be appointed governor, to take the oi'- tice after Uov.

Pierce has had an opportunity to deliver his message to the legislature. This will be about the 13th of January. Ureshuru recently rendered a decision against the Uoulcl interests 'n the iailroad case, anil now (luulil says that Uresham is trying to woik up a presidential boom thereby. The country, generally, however, seems to UP on Gresham's side. All is serene in the official household at iUmarck once moru.

Attorney 1'ieueral Engle says be didn't abuse Secretary McCormack, but the reporters lied about him, while the secretary he is sorry he talked luck, but that all is forgiven. A communication from a committee of the stock breeders ol Dakota in another column, contains some timely suggestions to the incoming legislature. The stock rais.ng interests of Dakota inciraslng in impoitance yearly, and nothing should be, lett undone to encourage and protest them. There seems to have been some ground after all lor the sensational dispatch that the president and Mrs. Cleveland were on the verge of separation when she went to New York, to bid Cousin Bon goodbye.

Those poatecl on social affairs at the capital, pioihct an early explosion. She and are said to have been lovers. The suggestion continues to be thrown out trom north Dakota that those members elect to the territorial legislature who belong to the state k'jfiiUturti be denied admission to the former body. This might be a good wuy to bring matters to an issue. There will be five members of the state legislature in the next territorial council and seven in the house.

The movement to deprive them of their seats ui the Uttei body, therefore, take a wider scope than at first suggested The telegraph brings the news of the appointment ot Judge Louis K. Church, of the Huron district, to be governor of Dakota, vice Gilbert A. fierce, resigned This information is not particularly Hi the nature of a sur- puse. for all the indications of late have been to this effect. Judge Church spnt to Dakota from New York about a year since, and while his appointment comet- svithin the letter ot the democratic platform, it is really a recognition by President Cleveland of a gentleman with whom he had both personal and political relations in New York state.

Church has been the subject of generally favorable mention in the press oi' his district, and tlio.se who know him beat vouch for a clean, business like administration of the olllce of governor at his hands. The Yankton Press continues its etforts to prejudice Mitchell's attitude ia the United States court matter, and goes so Ear as to make statements it can not for one moment sustain. The UEP BMC AN has no desire to prolong tho discussion, however. Its utterances in behalf oi' Mitchell's claims for the court are on record, and in no one them can the Press find ground on which to base its accusations. We desire tho court, not because of any hostility to Vankton, nor of desire to f.clvanee the alleged levengeful schemes of her enemies, but because Mitchell is the place for it.

AntUwe are willing- to leave tho settlement of the question to the members the next legislature, regardless of the locality whence they come. Jt has ever been Yanktou's misfortune that those who speak for her oftentimes do more to prejudice her standing than any overt acts her supposed enemies. Nt 'tUT. CATTLE INTEBESTS. An Appeal from the Committee.

KEPUBLIOAN: The stockbreeders of Dakota at Aberdeen, December 8th, appointed the undersigned a delegation to go to Bismarck to urge upon the governor immediate preventive action against tbe admission of diseased cattle into Dakota, and upon the legislature at its coming session the importance of speedy legislation to thoroughly extirpate any presence of contagious cattle disease, and such preventive enactment as shall perfectly secure tho cattle interests from all imported mi'ectiou Since this danger now exists and is sufficiently threatening to have called forth the decrees of quarantine by several state executives and remedial action in the wholesale slaughter of infected and exposed cattle in certain localities, the undersigned representing by appointment a large part of the cattlemen and by interence the whole ot the cattle interests of the territory have deemed the danger sufficiently imminent to anticipate the session of the legislature in calling the attention of the governor and the members elect, to the importance of prompt and vigorous measures to effectually guard the great cattle interest of the territory against the introduction of contagion, and the putting in operation a system of strict and active surveillance of all cattle imported into or passing through this territory. Such legislation should include an urgent appeal to congress for the passage of a law to condemn and slaughter every animal infected with or exposed to any incurable disease, and for the payment of thpir value out ot tlie public treasury. Also to prohibit the importation of cattle from all countries where said diseases exist, and ad interim to promptly anil vigorously exercise all the powers now given to prevent suen importation. Also the appointment of a territorial veterinarian, with such assistance and such ample powers as to give full assurance to the people that the work of protecting their interests will be thoroughly done. Also an act making it thei duty of all persons to promptly notify the authorities of any cases of disease that may be, or become known to them, and any failure thereof to be punished by appropriate penalty.

And further, an act to forbid all stot-k cars, or any cars in which cattle have been carried, to enter the territory until properly inspected and, if necessary, disin feeted. The cattle interest is the- paramount one of the territory. Its cattle, including thousands of native ancl iua- ported thoroughbreds, has a much greater value than the entire wheat crop. Besides being the. largest portion of the wealth, its greater hazard to loss by disease, gives it an additional claim to protection, mair.es loudest demands tor legislative attention justifiable, and relieves this urgent request from any touch of undue haste, We respectfully urge upon all the members elect the importance of the subjectjthe imminence and extent of the danger, ancl the necessity tor the earliest measures of rernedyand prevention.

The cattle men of the territory are, glad to acknowledge with thanks and appreciation- the already -prompt -and efficient action of the governor in the recent slaughter of diseased and- the decisive deatbubtow thns given (to what might have caused a loss of millions to the people of Dakota. The undersigned earaesfcly 'request all newspapers ot the territory to call attention in this behalf, and assist in urging all desirable legislation. Re- spscfully, M. M. PRICE, TUEOSjDAVID, C.

B. KENNEDV. -Where are the Patents? Washington Reporter: With the proper amount of official gravity it was announced on the 1st of November from the general laud office, through the Associated Press, that some 7,000 land patents had been issued fiom the office during the mcmtU of October. What particular motive was lurking behind this particular announcement we are not particularly disposed to inquire, but the country, at large and the settlers especially, to whom these land patents said to have issued, would like to know if the order to issue these? was made on one day for hoodwinking the public, only to be revoked "the next? At all events, the land patents were not issued as announced, nor have they yet been issued.

Bead of the triumph of inind over matter, on the outth page. IJEiMONT. Tom Ball's Growing City in the Famous Ohoteau Valley. Special Correspondence to the REPUBLICAN. DKLMONT, Dec.

beautiful weather of last week induced the writer to abandon a railroad jaunt oi fifty miles and atart overland for the new town of Delmont, in Douglas county, about thirty-flve miles south of Mitchell. The journey proved an agreeable one and brought to view a large section of country, evidently fertile and much better cultivated than is usual in the west. In Hutchinsou county the adobe houses of the -Russian settlement are a striking feature. One of these, built after the manner of the old bible times, with the dwelling in one end and the horse stable in the other, proved quite a surprise when the door opened and disclosed walls snow white and through an arched passage rows of glass and China ware neatly arranged on shelves, and a tidy little girl who spoke fairly good English in a pleasant voice. Just as the sunset was touching the clouds with crimson the town of Delmont appeared, situated in the beautiful valley of the Choteau creek.

This is one of the Guest-farming sections in all Dakota. Meadows- of timothy and clover, green where the melting snow had left them bare, alternate with plowed fields. The view of this valley, with the new town in the foreground, formed a pleasing landscape. The comfortable farm houses with windows lighted by the sunset, the-smoke curling from chimneys, the large barns and stacks.of grain and hay, surrounded by fat sleek cattle, horses and sheep, scattered- 1 in every direction as far as the eye CBB reach, form a picture that makes -the poetic mind of the irrepressible Ball always at rest. The valley of the Choteau- creek.

13 one of the oldest settled rigionsrof Dakota, and is known as a tine cattle' and corn country, but has awaited the, coming ol the railroad to fully derel-. ope and can but build up a line trading point at Delmont. The hearty welcome with which Tom Ball, the resident proprietor-of the town, greets the belated traveler bespeaks the-energy which has built up a flourishing town in a couple of months. A large two story hotel was one ot the first enterprises." Mr. Wrn.

P. Reynolds and wife are-tlm proprietors. Mr. Ball and family are comfortably enseonsetl in an elegant suit' of rooms. Twenty buildings have already bees' erected on good stone foundations and several more are in process of construction, and thirty-six additional business lots have been sold on which buildings will be erected in this early spring.

The irrepressible Ball, prides himself upon the fact that he is establishing the-first school ot all the new towns, on the new lines of road built this season. He ia putting tho school in temporary quar- rs whileanewandcomnaodioiisbuild- ing is being erected. DIANA. Spceiiii to tlio REPUBLICAN. DIANA, Dec.

Simpson Ho well, dealers in general hardware; have a complete stock, occupying large building with a hall over head. This hall is much used for dances, operas and'all such entertainments. A masquerade bail is now planned for Hew? Year-eve. The young people of the place also talk of getting up a home dramatic company for their winter amusement. Diana is twenty-five from Mitchell, forty from Huron, twenty- two from Woonsocket and twenty from Howard, thus giving it ample tamtory always to assure it a large country trade.

One thing the town takes pride in is the large number of her artesian wells, and the readiness with which they are obtained. The writer, is informed that no less than twenty of these flowing wells exist In and near the- town. Yankton Getting Hat.
