ADDITIONAL LOCALLY.
Learned Bros have just opened one
Of the finest hardware stores west of Min
neapolis, in this city. Both the stock and
store are a credit to Jamestown.
The jamestown Amateur dramatic
club will play the interesting farce, 1--WE
are al! Teetotalers," next Tuesday evening
at the Academy of Music. The best
dramatic talent our city affords will ap.
pear behind the foot lights and we bespeak !
for them a crowded house.
Fargo has about 5000. inhabitants. 1t
three large newspapers,two9week
lies and one daily. We know of cities n
the east of 5000 Inhabitants, in which one
weekly paper would starve to death.
These western towns beat the world for
enterprise.
in No. %, present volume, We pro pose

cal sketch of jamestown. commencing at
the earliest period Of its existence and

e. P. Wells and wife, of this city,
left tor the east last Tuesday morning.
We understand that they have been visit.
ing in Fargo and Braineri during the
past few days. but are now in Minneapolis
where Mrs. Wells will spend few weeks
visiting her parents and friends. NJ. w
is expected home to day.
-Sundry Improvements have been
made at the Dakota House VIII ch ale very

one of Halls fire.proof safes have been
added to the furniture of the Office. The
Office counter has also been painted By S.
l.. Knapp, of Minneapolis, who is
engaged in painting the residence of E.
z. Wells. All who have noticed Mr.. KS

Bismarck Tribune
Marshall Mcclure, who has gained so
much reputation Of late, both at home and
abroad, because of his being the proprietor
Of the jamestown ALERT, was in the city
last night. Marsh. is getting up good
paper,which is recognized and appreciated
by both the press OF this country ana
Europe.
Just so, Jewell but you will remember
that you became a little notorious once
yourself. Let see, we believe you
undertook to inflict upon the Chicago
Tribune, some five years ago, life-skctch
of all the gray headed men Of that city.
You remember. of course how the little
scheme terminated.
If the recent trip of the righteous editor
of the jamestown ALERT to this CITY had
the same effect on him that it did on the
patent insides of his paper, his stomach
must have been in a terrible unsettled
condition.
We guess that our stomach was in as
good shape as Bro. Jcwells was after
the recent fire, in that city, if late reports
are true.
Larry Moore was shot in the shoulder
Sunday, at Point Pleasant, By his loving
wife. Not dangerous. They were on
little spree.
Stanley Hnntley, who made it 50 warm
for Dakota journalists, and demorallzed
them to that extent that they still see
ghosts of his pen in the columns Of the
Tribune, is now on the editorial staff of
the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, the largest and
best evening paper in the country.
If Stanley Huntley had a. more de-
'moralizing tendency, than his unholy
partner, Jewell, who re left behind, may
God help him. Take away the ghost and
give US Stanley.
Some Of our slop bucket exchanges
snecr at the idea Of making the james
river nAvigatablc and regard the effort as
being prodigious undertaking. We
console ourselves, however, with the
knowledge that not one out of ten Of the
irresponsible scribcs have ever seen the
James river and that their opinions are
wholly based on the opinion given by
those who are as ignorant as themselves.
