stopped Dy effective remedies the inf1am-
nation often spreads to the lungs and
causes pneumonia or pleurisy. The
remedy is to keep the sheep in sheltered
place for few days and give a pint of
tar-water once a day. Tar-water is
made by stirring Tablespoonful of pine
tar in gallon Of water; it may be kept
in jar for use, and is always valuable
in flock. 1t is well to avoid the danger
by providing covered shed in the pas
ture in which the sheep may find refuge
both from storms and the hot sun.
To Keep Unoccupied Rooms Dry
1t occurs with many people that they
have to leave their houses for a time,
either in summer or winter, during
which period, especially in damp sea-
sons, not only the furniture, but also
the walls and the paper on them are
liable to get damaged by the moisture
In the atmosphere. This can be avoided
In simple manner. Before leaving
the house the rooms containing furni-
ture ought to be well fastened up, to
exclude as much of the outer air as
possible; a dish with dry chloride of
lime should then be placed in the mid
die OF the apartment, and inside another
larger empty vessel, intended to receive
the water flowing out of the former.
The well-dried chloride of lime has such
an affinity for water that it will attract
all the moisture contained in the room
and keep the air perfectly dry, so that
no harm can occur to either furniture,
books, paper. etc. Care must only be
taken to open doors and windows when
the apartments are to be occupied, as
this dried air is not good for breathing.

In the east, when farming district
produces a crop Of wheat, it is considered
as so much wealth, which enriches them
selves and the country at large. Butvery
few realize that the Black Hills are con-
tributing to the wealth of this world at the
rate of 1895, 900 per month, clear gold dug
out of the ground. 1t is true that most OF
this in the shape of bullion is shipped
from the country. Bu, 100000 at least
is paid out every month for expenses and
labor. This amount is circulated among
US and gradually finds its way to the esolid
Improvement of the country. From the
most reliable information, cleaned from
our bankers and mine owners, we find
that the production OF gold taken out Of
the Black Hills during the year 1879, will
not fall short of 100000.

it was unfortunate for him to be tried I'M
mediately after the Brugier case, the re-
action being unfavorable.

Pugh's name 10 land office receipt, was
acquitted. *, z, Asr-
The Eclipse admiralty cases were heard
and disposed of by Court who decided that
the claims of the Pittsburgh parties for
supplies and material furnished in the
construction of the boat and before she
was enrolled registered and had made a
voyage was not of a maritime nature and
could not be enforced in admiralty as a
lein on the boat that admiralty courts had

of parties furnishing necessary supplies at
Bismarck, the boat being in a fore gn port,
will be allowed together with the crews

1t becomes more apparent as the bust
ness Of the US. Court increases that three
fourths of the business comes from the
Missouri river and that this court should
be held at Bismarck. After the new court
house and Jail is completed there will be
no excuse why this court should not be
held here. 1t would bea great saving to
the United States in expenses.

A GAY WEDDING.
How Yeun Conrad Gained and Lost
.-. s.. a Wife. &-

He was young man of thirteen years
residence on the frontier. He came to
Bismarck last week, and expressed a de-
sire to wed. He wanted the soft carescs
of a woman's hand and the congenial
presence of woman herself He made
known this desire to Mr.. Griffin, which
gentleman cheertully agreed to arrange
matters satistactorially. Frank 5-e Was
mer, arrayed in her finest gar5, and with
ha,r art,stically arranged III Grecian
was introduced to the young man; he was
smitten; he wanted her, and the sooner
the better. A prominent spirit-u-all adj
wiser was calleda in, who performed the
sacred duty. They were wed; good night
was said, and off they went to their mar
rage bed An argument here arose. The
young bride was bashtul and did not
want the light burning while eshe disrobed.
He was consi6erate, and blew out the
beacon He waited for her to say "come."
He became impatient, and commenced
disrobiny himself. He felt his hand care
fully over the couch, but, no wife. Alight
was lit, which revealed no sign OF the
missing beauty. Down stairs he went,
put nothing of the young bride had been
seen. Young Conrad has not yet discov-
cred the plot, and now offers reward for
his wite's recovery. @

The Benton Sheriff After Frenchy,

Spec;az Correspondence Of The Tribune.
Fort BUFoRD, D. T., Dec. 22.-I learn
from authentic sources that the deputy
sheriff Of Fort Benton has started after
man known as Frenchy, the murderer OF
Richard Rogers, better known as "Sllp-
perry Dick" That calls to mind that hav-
ing never seen an account OF the murder
in The TRIBUNE, it may prove interesting
to it's readers. At the surrender OF Chief
Joseph Gen Miles called up his band OF
scouts, wishing to know who would vol
unteer 10 accompany five Nez Perces In
dians to Sitting Bulls camp. No one res
nended, it being almost sure death. Slip.
perv Dick" (also scouD being out at the
time, came in shortly, volunteered, and
went On reaching the camp, which was
across the border, he was taken by the
Sioux stripped naked, painted black---a
SIGN that he was doomed to die-whipped
and abused. Finally some Of Medicine
Bears YanktOns, who were friendly with
Dick before the Custer massacre, inter
tered, and Dick was escorted across the
line bv fifty Yankton braves Mounted
on fleet mustang and told to skin he
needed no second invitation. Returning
to Miles he was warmly commended by
that officer for his deed Of daring. After
the campaign was over Dick led ram
bling sort Of life equal to ,he nomads
themselves. Finally at Milk River last
Nav Dick turned up his toes at the hands
Of ,;Frenchy," (the name he went BY the
assassin shooting him in the back while
Dick was unarmed.. Considerable enmity
was evinced by the scouts towards Dick
for the reputation he gained by his ad-
venture, but as poor Richard lies under
the sod without even head board to mark
his last camp, he is lnagnanimously for
given bv his enemies and cherished in the
memory Of his triends. Y.

FINE BUILDING.
The tide Of substantial and permanent
improvements has now set in. Next year
Bismarck will boom in the fullest sense
of the word. The county commissioners
are now in session, and have been since
Monday. The most important business
before the board was the letting of the
contract for building the court house and
Jail for which proposals were invited du-
ring the three months past.
THE JOB is LET,
and work on thebuildlng will commence
in forty days. Thele were only three bid
ders, c. S. Weaver s. Co.'S bid was '$20,9 ,944
without the patent Pauly cells required
by The Hussev plan adopted by the board,
which would cost the county about $4,000
more. II. B. Mason had a bid of $17,476
without the cells, but the third, that OF
P.J. PAULY & son,
of $40, 900 for the building complete was
the lowest bid. This bid was made upon
the plans and specifications of Mr.. @. A.
Hussey. but the following deviation has
been agreed to by Mr.. Chas. Wundt, agent
for Pauly s. Son, and the county: ALI
the partitions in the building will be of
BRICK instead of combustible material,
and the corniceS window and door caps,
etc, will be Of neat tentail brick instead
OF wood. The cell houses are to be re-
duced SO as TO accommodate three of
Pauley's patent steel-clad Jail cells, and
the floors are to be ire.p proof. These cells
are now recognized to be the best in use.
No one has yet got out OF them except by
permission. This will make a
PRACTICALLY F1RE-PRooF BUILDING.
The payments are fixed as follows: Ten
thousand dollars when all the material is
on the ground. foundation Of the building
laid and the walls under construction; the
other ten thousand TO he paid when the
structure is finished to the satisfaction OF
! the Board. The location OF the building
has not vet been decided upon. John
Mason offers the county three acres for
one dollar for the court house, the ground
to be selected by the commissioners; the
railroad company offer Block II section
33. between Third and Fourth streets, for
one hundred dollars; and E. A. Williams
offers the choice of four blocks on
his addition and in addition a
half bloch. for county hospital.
1t seems to many that the most cen
trail position and one that will show the
building to the best advantage, is the
block owned and now occupied by coxnty
There is one thing certain Bismarck will
have the finest building Of the kind on
the line of the Northern Pacific, and this
building will he but a drop in the bucket
compared with those which will certainly
be constructed in the two years to come.
There can be no doub. bu. that a good
job will be done by Messrs Pau ly & Son,
as there will he many other buildings
erected during the next ten years, along
the Northern Pacific, and they will want
a fore ger in the pie. .... -. =
