The Bulletin, in the matter of the
Eastern war, remains AS strongly anti.
Russian as ever, and looks on the
czar's declaration of war rs IA combi-
nation of bombast and hypocrisy. AS
to the relative strength of the belliger-
ents, the editor says;
"As to crossing the Pruth, every
reader of history IL aware that that
step is just "a likely to presage disaster
AS victory. Peter the Great once crossed
the Pruth, but he went away from
it, after some hard fighting, glad to
make peace with the Turks at any
price. The ear on that occasion ac-
knOwledged the loss of over 10000
men, and was in so bad plight that
but for the assistance he obtained from
the Empress Catharine, the campaign
would have proved an almost fatal
blow to Muaooylte power In Europe.
As it was, he had to surrender
many important advantages which
he had previously obtained by
conquest. From that day To
this, at intervals, there haye
been many wars between the two
countries, the most sanguine OF them
being fought on and along Il g river
Pruth, the Russians sometimes win.
ming and sometimes the Turks. These
conflicts stand out in history as among
the bloodiest and most ferocious on
record, and unhappily there is no rea.
son to expect that the one now en-.
tOfed upon sin the name of human.

Died on the Train.

Mrs. NJ. 1. Mcdonald, a consumptive,
who was en- route from California to
her old home in Trempealeau, Wiscon-
sin, died at Cos p. m. on Sunday last,
just after the east bound emigrant
train, upon which she was a passenger,
had left Sherman. She was taken to
California some three years ago by her
brother, in the hope that her disease
might be overcome, but it was too late,
and having been failing for several
months, she desired to go back home
before dying. Death met her at the
summit of the Black Hills, and claimed
her for his own.
The body was taken from the train
here and enclosed in a coffin, being for
warded Monday on No. 4. Mrs. Nc
Donald leaves q husband and three
children, aged respectively ., 8 and IL
years., to mourn her loss.

The club expects to play Colorado's
crack club at the Denver fair grounds
on July 4th, and are willing to play any
club organized between the Mississippi
and San Francisco. Our ever liberal
citizens should take up the stock
promptly, and thus put the club on a
solid basis.

Tho Quickest Tine.

The Yankton Press and Dakotaian
says the quickest time on record from
Deadwood to any railroad point was
made in four and one-half days from
Deadwood to Yankton. The Yankton
people probably believe this, but we
cannot forbear telling them that it is
the most untruthful statement ever
made by their organ. The quickest
time ever made between Deadwood and
the railroad was over the favorite Chey-
enne route, in ffty-three hours, and
this is being done every trip, and both
ways. The Bismarck stage men claim
to have made the trip in go hours, but
we doubt it. Two different parties
have driven one team from Deadwood
to this city in four and one-half days.
