Trt-Weeksy seruscet to Tongue Rtce,

Trt- Weekly Service to T0s1sse Htcef.
Service was commenced on the Bis
marck and Tongue River mail line on
Monday. The distance is $50 miles and
the time named in the contract is So hours.
There is petition in circulation asking
that the service be increased to three times
a week and that the time be reduced to 70
hours. This movement should receive
the hearty support of Bismarck because it
will contribute much of the business IN
teicsts of the city, besides the necessities
of the military service demand it. The
time required to reach Tongue river has
been from ten to twelve days. 1t has al
ready been reduced to four days and should
be still further reduced. There is fine
country along the route that will settle
rapidly when proper communication ls
established with tho outside world.

The Western Enterprise, speaking Of
Ben Hazen's visit to Rapid City, says he
is highly enthusiastic over the beautiful
country surrounding Rapid, and says the
city, as far as beauty, growth, and soIidity
is conccrcd, is fully equal TO its name.
The rugged canyonsy you pass through going
there vanish like dream of the night, and
a valley of surprising lovelincss, sweet as

he left, his bundle of notes was
augmented by all the currency of
the club.
Perhaps the pasha would return
another evening, and indulge in
the fascinating diversion of bacca-
rat? With the greatest Of pleasure;
and an evening or two later the
pasha and his new friends sat down
to a baccarat bank. Again the cur
rency of the club went to swell the
formidable bundle. Would he mind
playing against checks? Not in
the least, and the checks Joined the
bundle. The sun had risen, and
the pasha felt sleepy. Would he
give the losers their revenge? AS.
suredly, but another evening; and
a few nights afterward the pasha
reappeared.
Was he come to give the revenge
that he had promised? Yes; but
before doing so a little accident
must be rectifed. Some of the
checks given on the previous eve
ming had, by a strange fatality, been
returned with the words "not suffi-
cient effects" written on them. The
pasha did not quite understand the
meaning Of the phrase, but perhaps
the drawers would kindly make
good their checks. The pasha did
not play that evening, and the con-
cluslon is gradually dawning on the
members of the club that, for an
unspeakable Turk, this Oriental
gentleman is quite as well able to
take care of himself as the heathen
Chinee, and is not precisely the
good thing they had fancied.

Church that it regarded her, as the
Rev. Frank claimed that he did, as
a person of little or no character,
and that the best thing she could
do was to abandon her charges and
leave for distant parts imbued with
a reformatory purpose. Mrs. Ket-
telle, however, does not seem to be
that sort of a woman, and seems
inclined to make strong fight for
the truth of her assertion about the
novel character Of her Plymouth
Bethel pastor. She again repeats
her charges and says she will prose-
cute Mr.. Smith until Plymouth
Church even will be convinced Of
his guilt and cast him out from the
$4,000 position which he now holds.
In what way she expects to do it
she is unwilling to say at present.
She claims that letters have been
received by her since the committee
decided her allegations against
Smith not proved trying to frighten
her from doing anything further.
She claims that neither she nor her
brother can be frightened by such
threats as those mentioned.

The COLONIZATION Society De-

New York Special to Chicago Times.l
j. Milton Turner, ex-minister
from the United States to Liberia,
thinks that the scheme to colonize
Liberia from the Southern States is
one Of the greatest frauds of this
century. lie condemns the emf
grafton societies which encourage
our negro population to hope that
they may better their condition by
crossing the Atlantic. He says
they speak the truth when they say
that immigrants will find the soil
fertile; that constant summer pre-
walls; that there are valuable mine
rails, luxuriant vegetation, and trop-
ieal fruits, but they don't add that
only the most primitive agricultural
implements are used, such as cut
lasses, bill hooks, ETC., and that
neither horses, mules, nor donkeys
can stand the climate. The miasma
caused by the heavy rains, alterna-
ting with hot sunshine, produce
sickness half the year. During the
rest Of the year the extreme heat
of the sun causes such lassitude
that few foreigners can endure any
work under it. There is mineral
wealth, but there is no coal, and
there are no resources for working
the mines.
The soil is fertile, but the coun-
try has never produced enough food
to supply the consumption of the
native inhabitants. Imported rice
is sold at four dollars bushel. The
immigrant has to pay from fourteen
to nineteen dollars barrel for
flour; one dollar a pound for but
ter; thirty-live cents a yard for
calico, and other prices in the same
proportion. He has to compete
with the native for labor. The ma
tive is strong and hardy, and able,
at twenty-five and fifty cents a day,
to perform the labor usually assign
cd to horses in other countries Fol-
ordinary services all that an immi-
grant can expect is two dollars a
week. The immigrant society prom,
ises six months support to the i'm
migrants, At the expiration OF
that time the cOlonists are left help
less and without means Of liveli-
hood, ignorant of the ways of the
country, hating the native and
hated by him, and probably suffer
ing from disease. AT the departure
of every vessel for America there
are many who beg TO be taken back.
The captains refuse to carry them,
even if they have money to pay
their passage, for, the captains say,
if they allow these men to go back.
and tell of the actual condition OF
affairs in the colony, the immigra.
ton society will no longer employ
them, and so the immigrants re-
main to suffer and die.

widow and bible scholar of Ply

Rev. +. L. Smith, the moral and
spiritual protector of that institu-

him a liar and seducer, the general
opinion was that she had taken a
very imprudent step, and that she
would surely find reason to repent
her folly. Since then Plymouth
Church, through one Of its multi
fariOus investigating committees,
has taken up her case, and sifted it
in true Plymouth fashion, and the

young widow had attacked an ad-
