DO YOU WANT A TRI.wEEKLY?
The TRIBUNE is disposed to revive its
Tri.weekly edition if there is q demand
for it, and will if two hundred dollars
a month can be raised in subscriptions.
Daily dispatches would be a good thing
to have in these exciting times. Think
of it citizens Of Bismarck and gentlemen
Of the military posts, and if disposed to
encourage the enterprise, write us or
talk accordingly. The price will be one
dollar per month payable two months
in advance. No money will be received
on subscription until the publication Of
ofthe Tri-weekly is determined upon.

NUGGETS.

Black Hills have been subject to greatly
varying emotions. First came the re-
port that all the routes Leading here had
been closed by military and that no one
would be allowed to come in or freight
in pound of supplies. This naturally
caused some Of the most panicky to
rush around for flour and bacon, which
they bought at a high figure; about $18
per hundred for -four and IS cents for
bacon; but the more phlegmatic ones
who had still some faith in humanity,
said that our government was not in
the habit of starving its citizens, even
for the laudable purpose of forcing them
out of country claimed by a band of
murderous, thieving redskins, and
prophesied that those who hoped to
proft.by our supposed dire need of pro.
visions would be badly bitten. Fortu-
nately they were correct, and flour is
selling to-day at $40 per cwt.. not a
very gratifying prospect for the corner
operators who paid $18. .....
q Crook City has grown wonderfully,
and the main street is built up nearly
solid with store buildings for half a
mile while on the upper portion there
are about seventy five dwelling houses.
Lots are held at about two hundred to
five hundred dollars. ""5.'a

Died at the Head Of the Column.
There is terrible pithiness in the
curt dispatch, 1.-The whole Custer fami-
ly died at the head of the column -
and again, General Custer, his two
brothers, his nephew and brother-in-
law were killed." Never, perhaps, in
American history, did family ever
offer up so many lives for the flag in a
single engagement. We recall the Cur
latii from Roman history and the Mann
cabees from the Hebrews. Besides them
in heroic remembrance must stand the
name Of Custer. In that mad charge
up the narrow ravine, with the rocks
raining down lead upon the fated three
hundred, with fire spouting from every
bush ahead, with the wildr swarming
horsemen circling along the heights like
shrieking vultures waiting for the mo-
ment to sweep down and finish the
bloody tale, every form,. from private
up to general, rises to heroic size, and
the scene fixes itself indelibly upon the
mind. "The Seventh fought like IT,
gers" says the dispatch yes, they died
as grandly as Homer's demigods. In
the supreme moment of carnage as
Deaths relentless sweep gathered in the
entire command, all distinctions of name
and rank were blended, but the family
that ''died at the head of the column
will lead the throng when history recalls
their deed. It was mad, it was rash,
but, though ''some one had blundered,"
it was

The candidates here done some lively
work here yesterday.
AT the meeting of the stockholders on

voting on these questions, viz:

.Second-lncrease Of capital stock TO

Under misspprehension of the pur-
pose and policy Of the questions, con-
siderable feeling WAS executed among
the stockholders, and accordingly very
strong turn out was had Of voters and
proxies. The votes po!led was 3,202, OF
which, only were cast IN the negative.
so decided a vote implies thst the
stockholders are fully prepared 20 back
up the directors in these views rs 10 the
prospective Importance OF the road, and
that all their legal and legitimate powers
under the charter shall BE- cheerfulIy
furnished TO assist in the development Of
thst importance.
The vote established also certain prin-
ciples in connection with the extension,
which will serve 10 secure the co-opera-
ton of the people along the prospective
line, rs we'll ss 10 strengthen the financial
position of the company, viz: that 5000
per mile OF sound availsbIe stock sub
scriptions should be Obtained before any
issue of bonds shall be made on the line
in question, and that then no greater
issue Of bonds will be or shall be made
than the same sum. viz: Sc 900 per mile.
This will continue 10 the company The
benefit Of I'M unusually large proportion
of stock TO the estimated cost Of the road.
The policy Of the directors up TO the
present time has been 70 insist upon full
resources before committing the CON-
pany 10 any important expenditures.
Tins cautious policy will doubtless secure
the confidence Of capitalists whe con-
template such investment, and carry the
