Dakota, the Can§an of this year's exodusters, was recently visited by a party from Rensselaer, as most of the readers of The Republican will probably remember. Among that Tittle band of verdant riooesiers, and, in fact, acting as the Moses of the party, was one of the editors of this paper. With them also was a couple of alleged jokers, and although, out of regard for the feelings of their friends, we suppress their names, we may say that their initials are Charles H. Price and Louis Kern. These young men neglected to sleep nights, so busy were they in racking their so-called brains for some scheme by which they might trick their fellow pilgrims. But owing to the wariness of their intended victims and their own want of originality,all their efforts resulted in nothing more brilliant than the theft of 4 bottle or two of'bugjuioe” with which some of the unnecessarily apprehensive Hoo Biers were doctoring themselves beforehand for anticipated snake bite 3. And as the medicine aforesaid was never returned to its rightful owners the taking of that may not have been originally conceived as a joke, although passed off as such when its loss became known, and its restoration impossible. Finally at Watertown our jocular citizens fell in with a correspondent of a Yankton paper, and with his assistance they trumped up ! (for them) a tolerably good story. ;at the expense of The Republican man, and as we wish to encourage (desperately) struggling talent we give it the benefit of our columns, quoting from the Democratic Sentinel the extract below given from the Yankton “Press and Dakc. tian,” together with the Sentinel’s remarks upon the same, only taking time to remark that whatever the Teutonic damsel may have been “holding down” with her two hundred and fifty pounds of avoirdupois, or however warm the alleged conversation may have waxed, the Yankton man could have known nothing about the circumstances from personal observation, as lie asserts, inasmuch as he was not even aboard the train on which the “company of Hoosiers” traveled west from Tracy. Democratic Sentinel: A spe-

cial correspondent of the “Press and Dnlfotian,” Yankton, writes up a weeks observation—“ What we saw du ring a week's ramble along the W, & St. P. R. R..,” etc. —from which we clip the following parajgraph referring to a prominent citizen of Rensselaer. West of Tracy;- in the afternoon, we fell in with a company of Hoosiers who were going to Dakcta to “shoot tre* claims,’’ as they put it. The car was crowded and a fellow was mighty lucky to get even half a seat. In front of us and right near the stove,sat one of the Hoosiers— G. E. Marshall, editor of- a paper at Rensselaer, Indiana. By his side sat 'a two hundred and fifty pound German girl, who Was holdling down a homestead neat Goodwin. Above the din and rattle of the train we caught-bits of < their conversation/,which ' was in -substance that he was looking for a lady with deeded property. It was about the warmest * conversation we have- heard for some time. Marshall happens to be a bachelor buck- fulLof serious intentions.

Thb Republican moves thi»* week. Opposite Halloran’s livery stable, Call and see us. That altogether alive young man, H. W. Snyder Esq., of Remington, was in town Tuesday looking hale, hearty, and prosperous. • Nick Clever, whose oondact usually justifies his name, has one* of his eyes dressed m mourning. When asked how his optic came to • be decorated in that manner ho ' says that it’s all right; Ids jgKmth was too sharp. * The pressure of farm work will probably compel Mr. Taylor to Postpone the proposed meetings at Meadow Lake, including 3rd and 4th Sabbaths of May. Mr. Taylor ' will probaly preach in Rensselaer' Mav 28th, ana the morning theme ' will be: The Source, Importance, Power and Dangers of Wealth. Some of our Democratic friends - am showing much zeal in the Republican Cause. At least they are working hard to moke up u ticket for us. Why would it not be a good scheme for the cans to allow those disinterested and self-sacrificing patriots to take charge of that work; and so save republicans the trouble? Every republican voter in thfl * county owes to his party, and to the cause of good government, the duty of attending Hie primary election, on Thursday, June first. No pressure of private business should be allowed to prevent the discharge of this duty. Attend* the primaries and help select an• invincible ticket. Help to guard again stand defeat this schemes by which our opponents ere hopihg hv * foist weak and unpopular candidates upon oar party.
