The Bon Homme Citizen is the organ
of the national party of Bon Homme coun.

Bartlett Trips Bismarck speech and its
effect on the people is coming to public no.
tsce by fragments. The Bismarck cores
pondent of the ST. Paul Pioneer-Press says
of it:
Bartlett Trips speech last night was 3
fat failure in q politicalsense. He ignored
every issue, national and territorial. and
confined his random remarks, to the law
of domici.e as it affected Judge Bennett and
himself. He endeavored to prove. by as
sertion and insineeation, that Bennett was
an adventurer, and he an old timer, whose
residence was as fixed as the north star.
l, Was a lamen;able effort for a man Of
Tlipp's reputed ability. 1t tickled the re
publicans and disappointed the democrats.
Bennett, or no other republican, can do as
much practical service for the formers
election as Bartlett Trip. The republican
central committee could well afford to pay
his expenses to every townin the territory.
Trip left for the Hills this morning. His
tour will be fatal if he plays the 'artful
dodger' to the end"

TIE DAKOTA MEMORIAL.

The Dakota mission respectfully memo
rialize the board regarding points affecting
the successful working of missions among
the Indians. First, We ask the board to tes-
tify against any monopoly of missionary
rights established by the civil authority, ia.
voring ZONE and excluding others from Ger.
tain fields.
Second-While We recognize the advant.
ages that have resulted to the Indian service
from the plan of giving to religious bodies
the selection of Indian agents, we are con-
strained to say it should be abandoned. Its
special usefulness is now past. and its con-
tinuance is to risk odium and damage to the
christian church, entailing political respons.
Utility which is burdensome and dangerous
and not in accord with the genius Of our
constitution.
Third-The true civil, as we'll as spiritual
regeneration Of the Indian tribes is by tie
power Of the gospel, and now is the time to
push forward mission work among them.
By vote of the Dakota mission, September
20, 1878, referred to the committee on In
dian affairs.
From January LIST to September 1st they
were $4,000 Miss Collins, Of Dakota,
said the Indians were robbed of confidence
by white men, who take their daughters and
leave them when no longer desired. At 1.-THE
meetinga the Indian women are we'll dressed
and conduct themselves decorously. Schools
are prosperous, women, children and babies
attending. In the winter, women and chill
dren come ten miles to church in the cold,
never complaining.

Church. on last Sabbath evening. The
Church was uucomfortably crowded and
a good many were compelled TO &" l,eme
being unable to gain admission. 1t WIS
expected that John Brennan, Esq, OF
Sioux City, would address the meeting
on this occasion, but from some unknown
cause he failed to appear. The audience
however, listened to an address from our
eminent irish friend, Hon. r. W. Miller.
who spoke for over All hour IN his usual
happy and interesting strain. Mr.. Mil
ler's speech was one Of the best that las
been delivered on the temperance qles
ton, in our city. and it had telling
effect Oyer fifty names were added to
the pledge and much enthusiasm was
manifested. What a JOY and gladness
DER spreads the good citizens face at the
magnificent results Of the feeble but
earnest Efforts put forth in the cause Of
temperance in our midst. Ard now
while we are on this strain we would
like to slide in q mild suggestion, aud it
is this Why c%onfiue the coed work to

TERRIFIC BOILER EXPLO.
SION.
Three Men Badly Hurt and one
Seriously.

About four O'clock on Monday after
moor a large number of our citizens heard
a report which sounded something like a
cannon at a great distance, and question
arose in the minds of sill as to what it
was. The general opinion was that it
WAS another earthquake and mos: of us
accepted this as the probable solution, I'm.
til late at night the report was brought
IN that a boiler had exploded at the steam
saw mill owned by the Mattasoa brothers,
obont FIVE miles south of Elk Point on
the Nebraska side of the Missouri river,
and that several persous had been killed
We at once started over to CLEAN the facts,
and found that it was true us to the OK
plosion, but that no person was killed
outright, 1t was a terrific explosion and
the mill presented a complete wreck,
There was not a piece of the boiler two
feet square left, and fragments Of the
boiler and fues were scattered all around
through the woods to the distance of
fifty and sixty rods. Mr.. Geo. Mattason,
one ot the proprietors of the mill was
pretty badly injured by being struck on
the arm aud abdoman by a flying missile.
The engineer, Mr.. Keenan,, was scalded
and bruised, and it is the most singular
thing in the world that he was not instant.
ly killed. He Was oiling the engine at the
time of the explosion within two feet of
the boiler. The most seriously Injured
one was Mr.. Geo. w. Hendricks, who was
about 30 feet from the front of the
boilcr,-he is very badly sca'ded and
bruised, aud there is scarcely any hopes
of his recovery. Quite a number of
other persons were about the mill at
the time but escaped being injured. To
look at the wreck one would naturally
conclude that any person within twenty
rods of the mill at the time of the disaste,
must have been killed or injured. The
cause Of the explosion is supposed tc
have been from the lack of water in the
boiler, and that the engineer is resposib,t
to some degree for the disaster.
