A Blessing In Disguise.

The snow storm Of last Saturday and
Sunday that disappeared almost as quick.
ly as it came, extended all along The line
and was very heavy in Minnesota, inter
fering with the operation OF the ,ele-
graph lines. Most all Of the grain is in,
in this section, and seeding is nearly
complete on the bonanza farms, where
they put in from five hundred bushels MP
per day. These two last storms are con-
sidered to be of great value in their eff.
feet upon acreage of the grain, some
farmers estimating that it will increase
the raise at least five bushels per acre, it
settling into the ground as it melts and
max ing a warm covering over the earth
while it remains. The grass will grow
under such snow, and only farmer who
has his grain in can appreciate the great
benefits derived from these unexpected
spring visitors. Thousands of acres have
been seeded for the first time in the vi.
cinity of Bismarck this season, and IT is
but the starter of the boom that il to
come in oat and wheat raising, that will
keep Bismarck's mills rolling the year
around, and bring additional activity ami
life to the Bismarck market. Double the
amount of ground now broken, will be
turned over this year, its qualities having
been sufficiently tested, and firmer.
harder, finer amber-colored grain, supe
rior to that of the Red River valley the
result. Mr.. Cuylcr Adams, a young
farmer of Spiritwood, seventeen miles
east Of jamestown. where he has extern
sive interests, thinks so much Of the
quality Of the land about Bismarck that
he will turn over this season three hun
dred acres Of land this side of the river,
and two hundred acres on the Mandan
side. The coming year is the golden op-
portunity for settlers to take up land in
Burleigh county, where they will find
every facility in the shape of seed and
machinery TO prosecute this healthy and
most profitable industry.

ODD FELLOWS BALL.
Sixty.First Anniversary Of Odd Fol-
lOwshi D in America.

One of the most pleasant, best attended,
well regulated and successful balls of the
many given in Bismarck during the past
season was that of the Odd Fellows at the
Sheridan Houselast Monday evening, the
occasion being the sixty first anniversary
of Odd Fellowship IN the United States.
This metl,ea was adopted by Mandan
Lodge of Bismarck of celebrating the
event. The lodge is made up of many of
our business men and has representa-
tion of most every branch of industry IN
the city. Like the Masonic order, which
only exceeds it in numbers, it does its
good work quietly and effectively, not let
ting the right hand know what the left
doeth. Preliminary exercises were held
al the Odd Fellows hall in RaymOnd's
block at 8 p. nl., which was attended by
large number outside Of the order. A lee
ture on Odd Fellowship by DR.. VIM. A
Bentley, who reviewed with great clear
ness and interest the history, workings,
benefits and principles of the order. DR..
Bentley was followed by Capt. ID w. Mar
rata who confined himself to the order III
the United States and its wonderful pro-.
grcss during the sixty-onc years OF its ex-
istence in this country. At 9:30 p. H.,
the. lodge with its guests adjourned to
discuss the merits of a banquet spread in
the spacious dining-room of the Sheridan
House. where "feast of reason and flow of
SOUL" held festive sway until 10 80, every
body present enjoying magnificent re-
past, such only as can be procured at the
hands Of the inimmitable Hurd. Dancing
followedand the rich strains of Prof. Bruins.
mann's orchestra kept the merry throng
swinging in the mazy dance until "rosy-
fingered morn announced another day.
Limited space prevents our giving the
names of the many prominent people
present Much credit reflects upon the
committee Of arrangements for the CON-
ple,eness in every detail Of their arrange
ments for the pleasure of the guests.

SHOCKING SUICIDE
DEATH IN A HOTEL cIsTEas.
W. T. Seals browns Himself in q
Cistern While Temporarily
Insane. at tho Merchants.

A ripple OF excitement was created in
town yesterday. when it became noised
about that man had committed suicide
at the Merchants Hotel, by drowning
himself IN the cistcrn. w. I. Seals, for
merly soldier in the 7th cavalry, is
known to most of the people Of Bismarck,
he having been employed about the town
in different capacities Last. winter he
was employed as driver on the Keogl
mail line, and was quite unfortunate. He
was lost twice while carrying through
the mails during the severe storms that
occurred in December. The last time he
was found nearly frozen to death, and
was resuscitated by the greatest exertions.
Since leaving this companys employ he
has had no permanent position, but has
made himself useful around Griffith &
Roberts saloon doing chores, and earning
living. The Merchants Hotel being
short cf help he went there and made
himself generally useful until last Satur
day, when he was taken sick with erysip-
elias, having very severe case. Early
yesterday morning, about 4 O'Clock, he
came into the hotel from his room, which
was in the laundry building Immediately
in the rear OF the hotel, and told the night
clerk that "Glittin" had thee hundred
thousand dollars of his money. Those
on watch at the time induced him to 20
back to his room, and this was the last
seen of him alive. He was suffering at
the time from erysipelas, and his head
was swollen almost beyond recognition.
He went back 10 the laundry and raised
the cover to the cistern, which was sit.
uatcd IN the hall between his room and
the laundry, and nearly opposite the door
of his room.
The cover to the cistern is but sixteen
inches square, so that he could not posi-
bly, have fallen in by accident. The cis-
tern holds two hundred barrels OF water,
and is sixteen feet Deep The night
watchman, who makes u tour Of the prem
ises every half hour, discovered the open
cistern, and locking in Seals room found
1t empty. 1t is an uncommon thing for
this cover tu he raised, and the watch
mans suspicious were verified by flAaing
the body in the oistcrn. Coroner John
Quin]an held an inquest over the remains.

The Fat Man Of the Argus Conxid-
ercd.
A stray copy Of the Fargo Aryus of
April 9th was received at Bismarck ear
ly in the week. The Red Mems assOcia-
tion was calico together, as it always is
on the arrival of anything fresh. The
lights of the city were there, among them
Mr.. Emmons with his littls hatchet. Mr..
Emmons was appointed a committee of
one to call on Mr.. Sargent. of the North
ern Pacific. The Great Incahone thought
Mr.. Emmons might want to see the gen
erai manager. During the absence Of the
committee the !Argus was considered in
all of its immensity. The story Of the
good little city and its plums, and the
wicked little city without a stage COM
pany was read. whereupon by unani:
nous vote tile grand worthy l,atriotI. q
z. 81 } VIM. l.. Hollister, was appointed q
committee OF one to laugh at the fat man
of the argus, should he ever visit the city,
and the hospitality of the tunnel was
voted him. Mr.. Emmons returning
reported that the general manager
ger was not at home to him. wherenpun
the boys adjourned to Champion Hall to
irrigate.

A RICH STRIKE.
.. Th Best Placer DiEelnxs Yot Dis
covered.

Some time last fall as rich a discovery
of placer mines as has ever been found in
Montana, was made at a point eighty miles
south of Fort Benton at the head of what
is known as the Judith Basin, and forty
five miles from Fort Claggett on the Mus.
selshell river. Bedrock was struck at q
depth of ten feet and the surface soil
yields from ten cents to one dollar per
pan as rich placer digging as an old
miner wants to cast his weather beaten
eye upon. Plenty Of water runs through
the basin and as in all other placer dig
gings nothing in the line of capital is re-
quired but pick, shovel and pan to bring
up the shining sand. The discovery was
made so late last season that but few
miners got on the trail and this year will
bring in those that are not doing as we'll
in the older mines of Montana. There is
a great opportunity for outsiders seeking
fortunes, and this is perhaps the best
placer country in any mining section at
present, with surface extensive enough
to accommodate the crowd that may start
out. They are acknowledged to be the
best placer diggings ever struck in Mon
tana, and in a location so convenient OF
access that with but fifty dollars person
can reach there, travelling by way OF Bis
marck to Benton
A bill has passed the house of repre-
sentatives appropriating fifty thousand
dollars for the establishment of new
military post on the Musselshell river for
the protection of that and Judith Basin,
where besides the rich placer mines are
valuable stock raising interests. With
this post on the river no trouble need be
apprehended from an occasional raid by
the roaming reds Of Sitting Bull, and
should such thing happen the troops
will he there to meet the exigency. Such
an opportunity occurs not often and 10
the venturSome miner who makes for the
spot and strikes his claim the earth is
ready to yield up Its wealth. The mines
are called the Yago mines and nothing
more can he said than You-g0.

A Terribly Destructive Fire.

Milton, Pennsylvania, a prominent
city of many thousand inhabitants, was
completely reduced to ashes on the 18th
inst. The fire is said to have been the
work of an incendiary, for the detection
of whom large reward is offered. In
order that our readers may form some
idea Of the magnitude of this terrible
calamity, we append the following brief
extract from dispatch from the ILL
fated city, dated the 18th:
The fire swept with total destruction,
in the brief space of five hours, an area
of one mile long and a half mile in
width, compactly built, covering the
entire business and best built portion
OF the town, and including, with very
few and minor exceptions, all churches,
stores, banks ana manufactures, in
volving loss of s2,000,000, insured only
to the extent of about 100000. Hun
dreds and hundreds of people, men,
women and children, are homeless and
pennlless, having nothing left but the
clothes on their backs.

The faithfulness of friendship exist

shown by General Beauregard in pub
llshlng the book left behind him ready
tor publication by the late General J..
3. Hood, whose sudden death by yellow
fever, at New Orleans, left his ten little
babes without any provision against
the future. General Beauregard has
had the book handsomely printed and
beautifully bound and gives his entire
time to its publication, free of charge,
as the entire proceeds of the book are
given to "The Hood Orphan Memorial
Fund" the monies of which are invest
ed in the United States Registered Loan,
to be devoted to the nurture, care, SUP
port and education of the little babes
left without father Or mother. Gener-
Hood made an investment of all his
fortune (over $100,OOOD in Louisiana
State securities which turned out disas-
trously just before his death. The

It is dangerous undertaking for
railroad owners Of lands-or pretended
owners-to attempt to eject settlers
upon the same by force or otherwise,
after having held out inducements to
such settlers to come upon their lands
and improve them. Six or seven men
lost their lives the other day in Cali
fornia whilst defending their rights of
possession, but the surviving settlers
having banded together in large num-
bers drove away the Z. IS. Marshal
ana his posse who had come to exe-
cute writs Of sejectioD, and hare sworns
to die in defense Of their rights and
their homes rather than surrender
them into the hands of mere preten-
ders, as they claim that these railroad
men are.

With the force Of 300 laborers now
actively employed OH the line of the
Morgan road between Vermilionville
and Opelousas, it can not be very long
before the work is completed to this
point. Most of the route lies through a
level prairie, that will require but little
preparation before being ready to re-
ceiye the cross-ties and rails. In fact
the only work that will consume time
will be at Bayou Carancro and through
the, bellevue woods, where numerous
small creeks and gulleys will have to
be either bridged, treselled, or dyked.
Our people are looking with much
anxiety toward the progress of the
work and its early completion to Ope-
iousas, and the first snorting of the
iron-horse viii be hailed with indes-
cribable joy and the widest excitement,
