Steele, Kidder Co., Dacotah,
July 2W, 188S. I
Fiiend Gabe: Although I be
lieve it is a boot seven yean since I have bad tbe opportunity of seeing you, or other old friends in Bloom-
melon, l nave not lost interest in
my old home. With an occasional copy of tbe Progress, I have been
able to keep well posted upon events
in yoar city, jf lease enter my
name on your subscription list, for
one year. In your issue of July
15th, I see by tbe article, "Ho for tbe West," that a number of your t-itizens anticipate emigrating to
Nebraska. JNow while 1 don t wish to say anything disparaging oi .Nebraska. I can certainly tell you, and most truthfully too, of a
country which oners Jar greater
hopes and inducements,, to one desiring to take up "die great western trail," than Nebraska. I have, baftire coming to Dacotah, traveled quite extensively over that state, ' and believe I possess a fairly accur
ate knowledge of its climate, reaour-
eesand adaptability of soil for agricultural and stock raising purposes.
Now as far as my experience goes,
I fancy that .Nebraska is, or from
the nature of its soil, should be
more esentially,a stock raising than
farming country. It true
that there are extensive areas in
Nebraska well fitted to produce
gram, and especially com, but any one thoroughly conversant with the nature and elements of the respective soils ot Nebraska and Northern Daeotab, will concede the point, that the latter is infinitely better calculated to stand the drain upon it of growing grain, than that of Nebraska. The soils of Nebraska, and her neighbor, southern Daeotab, are almost universally light, and cannot be cropped for any considerable period, without the use of artificial fertilisers ; that is to say, the use of fertilisers is there essential, in order to secure a good crop. Now with us in northern Daeotab, such a thing is unknown, tbe farmers even burning their manure, iu order to get rid of it. That part of Northern Dacotah, to which I desire more directly to refer, that is, the country on tbe line of the Northern Pacific Railroad, lying between the Red River of the north, and tbe Missouri River, has never yet been afflicted with cyclones, nor that greatest of all scourges, (to tbe farmers) grass hoppers, and it is a recognized truth, that from the nature ot its climate, Mich misfortunes arc hardly possible.
The soil of northern Dacotah is pronounced by eminent chemists to be all but inexhaustible, that years and years of continuous cropping of wheat, will not materially deterivata it. It consists of a first sol of rich black loam, to a depth of two-and-one-balf feet and upward, tbe sub-soil is a blue clay, many feet in depth, effectually preventing any leaching, and abounds m cereal growing properties. Water, w of a pun and wholesome quality, and in an abundant quantity, The much abused elimate is MM of tbe finest, bracing, and pronounced by all physicians to be the most healthful in tb world; it it especially beneficial to consumptives, and people troubled with any kind of pulmonary disease. Thaw an no grander Springi, Summers and Falls, on earth ;than we have here. The winter are eoM, bat the air being very dry and pare, no disagreeable results are experienced. Colds and throat troubles, so prevalent in tbe east during your chwgaUe winter weather, are here unTbe claw of society, and social privileges are tor a new country exo3ptionnlly geod. Every little village, and town, along the line of the N. P. R. R. is dotted with churches and school houses, and the best educational facilities can almost everywhere be had. Coal mines have beer opened all over tbe northern part of territory ad very cheap fuel ia a problem already solved. A word bow about tbe crops; In Kidder county, we have never had a crop failure during tbe past five years, or from the time ef the first settlement of our county. The average yield of No. 1 hard wheat, per acre, (which wheat by the way, is quoted oa tbe market at from 10c. to 15c. per bushel more than any other variety) bat been twenty-seven and a half bushels per acre, and often runs as high as 35 and 40 bushels per acre. Barley is a most successful crop. Oats will yield SO to 80 lmsbels per acre. Potatoes, with no other cultivation than barely plowing them in, yield 200 bushel per acre. All ether vegetables and grain in like proportions. Cora has but lately been introduced, but grows nicely, and justifies the belief that we may soon be able to grow corn as successfully as Illinois. The present prospects are, that we will bare one of the largest crops ever harvested. Harvesting does not commence with ua until about August Sth. We have yet thousands of acres of unoccupied, or untaken lands, near, and immediately tributary to tbe H. P. B. B. and to this point, which for general agricultural purposes, aae unsurpassed. There aro several large herds of cattle bore, and also many large flocks of ane and coarse wool sheep. Steele, the eo:..ity seat of Kidder county, u beautifully located upon the line of tbe S. P. B. R. and is 43 miles east ef tbe Missouri Rivernd.Iibmark.the capital of the Territory. Now, la conclusion, Friend Gabe, 1 would suggest that you adrwo your people that they should before taking such an all important step in their lives, as that of leaving old home friends, and associations and starting out for a new and comparatively (unsettled country, that it would be prudent for them to "f-jok, before they leap" and that it would be a judicious expenditure of their time and means, to first run over the M. P.K. R m far as Biamark and especially now, oa the verge of our beautiful harvest season, a time when they san rely upon the evidence of their own eyes, before they permanently locate. If the colony, or some representative of them, will give our country look, I think they will locate here in preference to Nebraska. Probably some of your skeptical 'rienda will believe I am writing A la Arabian Slights," but all Ihave written are "bona fide" facts, and they bare but to C08j for themselves to be sssorrad of it.
foil doubtless recollect J. K. Marsh, known to all the old residents of Monroe county, also J. M. Coleman, of college days of 1868, both are now settled horo , with their families. Each have f nely cultivated farms of from 160 to 300 ucrea, and are prospering finely. Any further information that either yourself or any ef the old friend: may desire in reference to Dacotah, I will most cheerfully impart. With kindest remembrance to eld friends, I am. yours very truly, ISAAC HOOPEll. Prom EUettsville Citizen. On Monday evening Tarlton Wilson took the train for Kentucky, to remain several months. Ue has sold his farm near this place to Stephen Confer. The car load of calves shipped from Pittsburg, Pa., by Squire Steele to Gosport last week contained 80, and are reported to be rather better than the calves raised here The Gosport Old Settlers' Meet
ing will charge an admission fee of . -i . m j i.
iu cents. J. bis is a new uepariurv, and in our opinion will have the effect to make the crowd somewhat smaller than they usually have.
White Ball and Vicinity :
Asbury Parrish and wife, of
EUettsville, visited the family of Thos. Parrish on tbe 19th inst. Plato Crutsinger and wife, of EIlettsville, were the guests of John Everman and wife over Sunday. 6. E. Duncan, of Blooinington, is visiting at Wm. A. Layinon's. Billy Parrish, who lives on Frank Worley's place, was hauling rails to make a stock bed, when his horses became frightened and ran away. Billy was thrown from the wagon and injured on his side. He is said to be seriously ill., An eminent physician of Boston went to Spain some time ago to investigate tbe efficiency of cholera inoculation, and after, a thorough test he reports the only thing in favor of the so-called preventative is that those who have undergone it have no fear of the disease, though many of them have taken it and recover as they do not fear a fatal

per cent of cholera patients.
It is said that one of the greatt labors of a post office in a town
of' two or three thousand population is the making out of official
reports, and that much time is oc
cupied in furnishing information which the red tape rules of the Postoffice Department demand.
Speaking aboot postoffice reports,
we came across the following not
ego, the original of which is
to be still iu a pigeon hole of
tbe Postmaster General's office:
J uly 9, 1857.
Mr. James Buchanan, Pres. U. S. Dear Sir Been required by the instructions of the post office to re
port quarterly, I know foolfil that
nleasin duty by reportin as folos. The barvestin has been peerty and most of the nabors have got their euttin dun. Wheat is hardly a avrage -crop on rollin land, corn is yellerish and won't turn out more than ten or fifteen bushels to the aker. The helth in the comunity is tollable, and cbolra has broke out 2 and one half miles from here. There is a powerful awakening on tbe subject of religion in the falls neighborhood and many soals are bein made to know their sins forgiven. Miss Nancy Smith, a nere nabor, bad twins day before yesterday. One of them is said to be a seven monther, a poor scraggy thing, and it won't live half its days. This is about all I have to report tbe present quarter. Give my respects to Mrs. Buchanan and subscribe myself, Yours truly,
The young men of the future have got to look sharp. In the seminaries and colleges whose doors have been opened to girls it is a notable fact that the girls ibis year have got away with the honors, by a large majority. As there is no institution thus opened which will close its doors against tbe girls, young men would do well to take their lesson in time. The girls have knocked the college doors open to stay, and, what is more, they are there to make good use of their opportunities. Inter Ocean. T. F. Corrick, recently appointed Deputy U. S. Maasbal in Tennessee, has resigned, saying that it is impossible to execute the Federal laws in Grundy county, the locality to which be was assigned, without assistance is furnished him. He says violations of Federal laws have more than doubled since Cleveland's inauguration, and that it is mnch more difficult now to apprehend violators without a force of men to assist, and as these are not furnished he resigns. Gree n castle Banner : Mrs. Alice Eliwood arrived here Tuesday afternoon from Topeka, Kas., by way of Ft. Wayne and Lafayette, on her way to Bloomington, where she has friends, having been in pursuit of ber husband, whom she bad failed to find. Bein out of money he called on Tiustee Bridges for transportation to Bloomington, which he kindly furnished. She then went to the North Depot to await the 2:30 train yusterday morning. While tbpr she was taken with the pains of labor. It wa-s a trying situation, but those ou du
ty at the depot proved equal to the occasion. Dr. Rogers' herdick was called, and the woman sent in it to the boarding-house of William Ray, where she was soon after delivered of a daughter. Mother and child arc both doing well, being in good hands, and will resume her journey when fully recovered. Beating Bis Horses and Dogs. Indianapolis News. The many people who have enjoyed the performances of Professor Morris's trained horses and dogs, would doubtless have had their enjoyment much lessened, if they had known what suffering the animals had to undergo in acquiring their tricks. He is at present training some new horses and dogs, as well as the old, on the Opera House stage, and he whips and abuses them most unmercifully, it being a common practice for him to beat horses about the head until they are almost senseless. "When you hit a horse on the head," he said in the presence of the reporter the other day, "he thinks you are going to kill him, and it scares him so that he does his act all right. When I want them to do anything I will make them do it, or nearly kill them in trying." This morning he whipped one of his horses so severely that some witnesses were talking about having him arrested. Of the twenty-two pall bearers at Abraham Lincoln's funeral only seven are alive. These seven are Gen. Simon Cameron, Elihu B. Washburn, Col. H. G. Worthington, the Rev. Green Clay Smith, Alexander H. Coffrotb, Henry L. Dawes, and John Conness. Tbe dead pall bearers are Lafayette S. Foster, Edwin D. Morgan, Reverdy Johnson, Richard Yates, Benjamin F. Wade, Schuyler Colfax, Gen. U. S, Grant, Gen. Henry Wager Halleck, Gen. W. A.

Nails. Throughout the Middle Ages the only way in which nails were made wa by hand, and it was not until the seventeenth century that it dawned on one mind at lmist, that it was possible tc produce them by means of machinery. The first evidence of this interesting fact we find in a State j nper, which records that in the year 1600 letters patent were granted by our well beloved monarch, King James, to his trusty knight Stf Itevis Bulmer, for the latter's invention of this ilk. We And itrecorded that the said Sir Bevis Bulmer "hath Inveitted new, Apt, or Compendius forme or kindo of Engine or Instrument to Ue put in vse, driven, and wrought withall by Water or Waterworkes as well for the concerning a Quicker and more Apt and Speedy Ways and Meanes then Knowno, exp'imcnted, and vsed within our Realms and Domynions within the Tyme of Man's memory for, in, about the cutting of iron into small Barrs or Bodd to serve for the making of Nayles, for the necessary vse and service of vs and our subjects," and so on with much more ingenious, but tedious legal verbiage. Sir Bevis, however, does not appear to have been very successful with his nail rod machinery, and as time grew older, other trusty subjects of various subsequent sovereigns tried to mend cutters, with no very encouraging success in fact, it was not until tbe beginning of the present century that machinery began to be utilized in a practical and commercial way. In the year 1811 a Birmingham firm made tbe experiment of cutting nails out of sheets of iron by ingeniously contrived machinery, and by the year 1820 such improvements had been made as had passed the experiments beyond the bounds of hypothesis, and within the circle of trade routine. About tbe same time some American manufacturers adopted similar processes, so that the use of this kind of machinery would appear to have been almost contemporaneous in both countries. Since that time there hare been hundreds of patents taken oat in this and other countries for inventions and improvements in the milking by machinery of the multitudinous sorts of nails; but in all, the leading principle has been the same, so that the inventions of to-day are , , , , . ,

The Good of Hernials. Greoncastle Banner, As tbe common schools are the hope of the country, so are the normal schools the hope of the common schools. Indiana now has
about forty sucb normals, some
twelve or fourteen of which are de
signed to be permanent. They mark a great step in advance of our educational system, as they are annually turning out trained teachers to take tbe places of those who pursue
crude and unsatisfactory methods,
because of a lack of such special training. By this means teaching is elevated to the dignity of a profession, and "pedagogue" will no longer be a term of derision. Thus
the teachers, the children and the State arc all benefitted, and parents and taxpayers have the satisfaction of receiving adequate returns for the great expense involved in tbe
maintenance of the schools.
Secretary Endicott is gradually acquainting himself with implements of war and their uses. It is alleged by his friends that he can already distinguish a smooth-bore cannon from an ambulance wagon with one of his eyes shut.
The best is the cheapest. The best groceries can be found at Hemp Wilsons.
A few Administration organs
charge that John Koach got rich
out of Government contracts, hence
they suggest that the Government is justified in its course even though
it mined him. John Koach has
built during thirteen years one hun
dred sea-going vessels with tonnage
each of irom 1,000 to 4,500 tons.
lwenty-tbree of these are employ
ed in foreign trade with a tonnage
of more than bZ,000 tons. The en
tire work the Government has had
done in the last fifteen years wonld
not run Roach's ship yard one year
and he has actually done less than
$5,000 worth or repairs in five years. He never had the least trouble with
any vessel and a ship never left bis yard that did not satisfy bis custom
ers.
An old citizen, in the Indiana
polis Journal, in speaking of the
hot weather, recalls the summer ot
1837, when in July the temperature for over a week had ranged all the way from 98 to 110 in the shade. On the 26th the heat became so intense that steam arose
from the lakes and creeks in a dense
volume. The crops, under the influence of the beat and steam, grew and ripened iu a surprising manner. The tomato plants which were just beginning to bloom,were soon laden with luscious fruit which fell to the ground, sprouted and grew up so fast that in an hour a new crop was on band. Apple dumplings could be picked from the trees, and on these and the boiled fishes which were floating on the rivers and the lakes the people subsisted. We should feel inolined to doubt this story if it had not appeared iu the Journal.
It is an opinion in trade circles here that Indiana's wheat crop will be better than expected, aod that with a good corn crop a fine fall trade may be expected. So mote it be.

W. M. ALEXANDER, Auditor Mouroe co., Ind.
There wore 400 visitora at the French Lick Springs last week. One time in a certain Western court during the progress of a criminal trial the Court adjourned the trial for the noon recess. Immediately the Judge, Prosecuting Attorney, Sheriff, prisoner and jury adjourned to a neighboring saloon, where they had a merry time. While drinking a discussion arose between the Judge and the prisoner concerning the evidence submitted during tbe forenoon. The
prisoner railed tbe Judge a liar and an ex-con vie t, whereupon that
worthy ordered the Sheriff to con
fine him in the dungeon and feed
mm on bread and water. When
court reopened at two o'clock the
defendant's attorney inquired what
bad become ot the client, and when
the Judge had informed him what
disposition had been made of the
prisoner, the lawyer said: "Why, I can't 8ee how you found him guil
ty ot contempt wbeu yon were not
on tne ucncli." "1 hat makes no
difference, Sir. Attorney," replied
tne Judge: "l want you to under
stand that this Court is an object of
contempt wherever she goes, roll
tne jury Mr. Ulcrk."
"How is it, Mr. Erowu." said
the mill-owner to the farmer, "chat
when i came to measure those five
barrels of apples I bought from you, I found them nearly a barrel
short ?"
"Singular, very singular, for I
nut them up in some of your own
flour barrels."
"Ahem ! Did, eh? Well perhaps
I made a mistake. Fine weather
isn't it? Lets imbibe."
