been a redeemlng feature of the
place, and they should not now be
allowed 10 decline.
During the gale of Sunday a
fire got started in the stump heaps
between 4th and 5th streets and
spread with such rapidity as to
greatly endanger the residence of
Mr.. E. Bruno and also the middle
town school house. Our citizens
were promptly on hand, however,
and succeeded Id subduing the fire
before any damage was done.
While in Duluth a few DAYS
ago we saw at the meat market of
Herman Burg the carcass of black
bear which when dressed weighed
$50 pounds. His bearship measured
8 feet from the tip of the nose to
hind hams, and would, we imagine,
when alive and feeling well be an
ugly customer to have a russell with.
"A poison of any description
which has been Intentionally or &C
cidently swallowed may, it is said,
be rendered almost instantly harm
less by simply swallowing two gils
Of sweet oil. A person with a very
strong constitution should take
nearly twice the quantity. This oil,
it is alleged, will positively neuter-
alize every form of vegetable, ami
NAL, or mineral poison with which
physicians and chemists are &C
qualnted.
Albany Journal: "Rarus trotted
heat at Buffalo, on Saturday, in
2:134, tie fastest time on record"
A small Albany boy read the dis
patch this morning, and then, after
rejecting a moment, remarked, as
he laid down the paper 81 kinder
wish Jim Jones and me had been
timed Saturday as we made tracks
from that orchard on the Shaker
road. I'll bet the farmer that
chased us Will say that we made a
mile in good deal less than 2:l34,
and the road was bad to in places
at that. Jee-hokey, how we did
skoot."
--Bismark Tribune: Judge P.
r. Smith returned from Chicago
this morning, and while absent ar
ranged for the shipment of train
load of Montana cattle from this
point to Chicago. The train con
sisting of twenty loaded cars, will
leave Blsmark tomorrow, and will
be put through from this point to
Chicago as a special in 48 hours.
This is the first large shipment of
Nontada stock from this point but it
is only the beginning of an immense
trade that is now just beginning to
be developed. Next season we
confidently look for, probably,
weekly shipments of this nature. All
honor to r. P. Smith, the pioneer
in this work.
Geo. NJ. Smith is having quite
an amount of work done on his
land just west of the townsite, in
the way of ditching, grabbing, ETC.,
and we are informed intends to
pillow several acres in the old clear
ing this fall, as we'll as build a
house and barn on the tract, 1t is
Mr.. Smiths intention, we under
stand, to keep at present man
with family on the place, cultivat-
ing the soil to some extent every
year, but gradually working it into
grass and stock farm, to the care
Of which he expects to retire when
he makes lis fortune in the -four
and feed business. Mr.. Smith has
struck the right key, and if more
land owners would follow his ex-
ample our county would soon begin
to thrive on her own abundant but
now dormant resources. If the
people here had gone to farming
twenty years ago instead of laying
back on their oars and waiting for
somebody to buy their corner lots
or build them a railroad, our coun-
ty would be to-day one of the rich
est la the state, and not the very
poorest as it is now rated.
