Special Dispatch to Tho Daily Tribune.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. S-Ths at
fractions of the week are to be crowded
into the programme for Friday and Sat
urday. The incessant rain since Monday
morning ceased this forenoon. The track
is in fair condition. The squestrienne
20 mile race occurs tomorrow, and tho
great balloon ascension, and other great
races, Saturday. Prof. Ruleson has made
two ascensions lin his small balloon;
landing the first time halt way to Mime
tonka, and to-day near st. Paul. He
went above the clouds and landed without
accident. There are about fifty Bis
marckers in the city to-day. One Car Of
Nandan's exhibit failed tc arrive, but the
joint exhibit was pronounced the best on
the grounds. E. P. Wells remarked that
Bismarck's display takes the cake. Nc
Kenzie, Jewell and Galloway left to-
night for Chicago. The press of st. Paul
and Minneapolis dev0tes more space to
the Bismarck and Mandan exhibit than
any other feature of the fair A special
train leaves here Saturday night for
the accommodation of North Pa
clfc people. The greatest attractions
ever offered in the world in 4 single day
will be presented Saturday, and the at
tendance will be marvellous. Charles
Wagner, a prominent HeDnipin county
farmer, with wife and three men, while
driving home last night, and when about
twelve miles from the city, were waylaid
and fred upon three times by four men
armed with shot guns. Mrs. Wagner lost
one eye, and received number Of wounds,
which may prove fatal. The others were
injured slightly. John Henry, farmer
and neighbor, has been arrested as one of
the assaultlng parties, and does not deny
the crime. His accomplices are known
but are not to be found.
Forest fires are raging in Saginaw Val
ley, Mich. The towns of Bad AK, Yer

Ticket Salos and Money Orders.
The cash receipts Of the Bismarck ticket
office Of the North Pacific railroad for
the first five days in Septembe were
$3,525. The reports of the ticket agent,
Mr. J. E. Johnson, shows constant in
crease in business from month to month,
and in this record, as we'll as in the in
creased receipts for freight, is found
evidence Of continued prosperity that can
not we'll be disputed
For the same time the Bismarck post
office received from sales of money orders
$2,450.40, and paid for money orders,
$437.70. These facts show q concentra.
tion Of people and business at Bismarck
that if continued would build up city
without regard to the surrounding coun-
try-would build city on barren
waste, but in no country can be found
stronger or better land than that sur
rounding Bismarck.

Col. Sweet I'm Lnck.

The Helena Herald says: Col. Geo.
w. Sweet has placed on our table speci-
menl of granite and marble taken from
ledges and quarries recently located by
him within mile from Helena. The
stone from the mother formation is of the
quality and kind largely used by the gov
ernment in the construction Of public
buildings, and mined in most part from
the quarries in Maine. 1t is of dark
rich cylor, compact, readily worked by
the mason, and susceptible of smooth
and mirrored surface. The marble sam
pie is four inch cube of bluelsh white
tint, takes high polish, and is of fine
grain as any marble, domestic or for
eign, in use. For ornamentatlon and all
the uses for which marble is songht and
utilized the variety before us is consid-
cred an important contribution.

over to the Pembina county courts for
trial. He was assisted to escape from the
jail at Pembina by q half breed and =
Frenchman. He returned to the Mis-
souri, river and killed Joe johnson near
Fort Sully two years ago, and
made his way with his horse
to Sitting. Bulls camp. The
Odd Fellows lodge at Fort Sully offered a
reward Of. $500 for his arrest, and reward
was also offered by the civil authorities.
He surrendered with Sitting Bull but
evidently made up his mind to take to
woods when he learned Of the order for
removal to Fort Randall. He says Inter-
prefer Allison, in the employ Of the mill
tary, aided him to escape from the hos
tile camp, put him across the river in a
canoe and gave him a revolver and ans
munition and knife. After crossing the
river he went to Louis Agards. where he
tried to get a horse. This was about
twelve O'Clock at night. Failing to OBJ
tain one, Jake Houser, who was stopping
at Agard's, knew very well he would steal
one and thought the chances were that
he would kill some settler in order to
enable him to do so. So he proceeded to
John Maanlngs and John Manning,
Frank Sullivan, and Jake Houser started
in pursuit. They overlook him at Andy
Marsh's. and when they attempted to ar
rest him, he drew his revolver, which
Andy Marsh snatched from him. when hs
surrendered without further trouble. He
then asked for pipe kand tobacco, and
said he wanted to smoke once more be-
fore they killed him, They assured him
that they did not intend to kill him and
in the course of the day he became
quite sociable. Brave Bear is known in
the court records as Waupacca. Ha is a
very bold, bad Indian and was familiar
with the murder Of the Keogh mail car
rier, if not party to it. The men cap.
turing him were in doubt as to what to
do with him. He was prisoner of war
at Fort Yates, but had left his camp and
was beyond their Jurisdiction. He was
even off the Indian reservation. They
knew him to be bad Indian, a thief, a
murderer and an outlaw, and knew that a
reward was offered fol his capture, and
they did just right in capturing him and
turning him over to the civil authorities,
although the military and agency people
at Fsrt Yates may not think so. Ed

river. He was thrifty, steady and popu-
lar. He had q wife on whom he dotted
and for whom he was ready to do or die.
Nothing was too good for her; no wish
of hers renamed ungratified. He came
home one night quite late and retired as
usual. His wife SOON became violently
i'll, apparently, and called for aid, and he
rushed out for relief. As he
entered the drug store he placed his
hand in his pocket and found a twenty
dollar gold piece. This led to the dis.
covery that he had in his haste put on
another mans pants, who had evidently
been hiding in the bedroom. This Incl
dent led to the discovery Of
his wife's shame, and proved that
her illness was only feigned in order to
give her paramour chance to escape. It
did more. It destroyed happy home
and wrecked prosperous life. From
that day to this the man has been as he
is now seen, living only to die and not
caring how soon the end may come. This
case suggests the thought that few know
of the distress men are sometimes
forced to endure, or Of the causes that
lead them on to perdition. Men who
could face death in any form without
finching, who were very lions IN battle
and are among the strongest and bravcst
in the ordinary walks of life, may not be
able to stand when the dearest affections
of the heart are outraged. It is these
tender hearts who push madty into dissi-
pation-who fill suicides graves. Who
is there that would throw rock at them
What can be done to relieve them? The
happiness Of others only intensifies their
grief and plunges them deeper into dissi.
patton. They laugh at death. and would
gladly welcome it's coming. The morn
ing brings them no words Of encourage
ment, the evening none of sympathy. The
days are dark and gloomy and the nights
bring no rest. There is no sunshine for
their hearts, and the world is thousand
times more to be dreaded than the tomb.

Never in the history Of Bismarck has
there been such a meeting as was held at
the rooms Of the Bismarck Lyceum 30.
ciety last evening. II. ..:s sss y +.
After the meeting had been called to
order, and the minutes Of the hast meet
ing read and approved, came recitatlons
by MIR. Logan, principal Of our. public
schools, who did himself proud, espec-
tally in his delivery of the beautiful
and time-honored recitation "Curfew
Shall Not Ring Tonight"
Next came Miss Cleveland in some
very beautiful recitations She is a
speaker whose every word and gesture is
perfect, and one whom it would benefit
anyone to hear.
Miss Cleveland was followed by Col.
Bull. His recitation entitled "Ars. Gar
fields Ride oWashington-Fifty Miles an
Hour" was, in the opinion Of those pres
ent, the best ever heard from the ros-
lrum in this city.
Music was interspersed throughout the
meeting, and taking all in all it was a
most enjoyable affair.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing term: President, Mr.. Logan;
vice-president, Mr.. Hugh Mcdonald; sec
retary, Mr.. George Jennings; treasurer
Mr.. Joe Swindlehurst executive com
mittee, Swindlehurst, Pye, Blake and

the TRIBUNE OF the 9TH lnSt. appeared inc
article quoted below, which, as you have
been misinformed, please correct in the
same conspicuous place, for although the
citizens are willing to have any compari-
sons made, they desire them to be cor
rectly stated, which they are confident
you will be pleased to do. The statement
made is as follows: ''Last Saturday Mr..
w. H. Simpson, of this city, sold to R.
M. Newport, Of St. Paul, several town lots
in Mandan for consideration of 5000.
MI. Simpson purchased these flats eight
cen months ago at small figure, and
feels elated over the success Of his sale,
as he believes Bismarck property is the
best" III. NJ. Mixer has disposed of his
dwelling house, two lots and blacksmith
shop, corner Of Fourth and Thayer streets,
this city, for $4,000"
The facts in regard to the Nandan sale
are as follows: H., q. Newport, brother
of Col. r. N. Newport, purchased Of Mr..
Simpson, Of Bismarck, on which was a
very inferior building that would scarcely
be considered in the purchase Of property
Of any value, for 1900, and without any
sxagerations would make this. lot alone
worth $1,000 Mr.. Simpson may have
purchased this lot at II low figure, and
may feel e]ated over the sale, but Mr..
Newport has made a good purchase, and
in 4 year will be able to sell at an advance
which Mr.. Simpson will be sorry 10 loose,
and the comparison as to Mr.. Mixter's
sale Of two lots, blacksmith shop and
dwelling house for $4,000 does not quite
come upto the Mandan sale. Property in
Mandan has advanced from 200 to 500per
cent. since the first of April last. j. p.
Lansing day before yesterday sold four
acres of his claim lying south of the rail
road track, and at the southwest corner Of
the town. Consideration $500 per acre.
Very respectfully yours,
CARPENTER & Cary.
[The TRIBUNE has received the above
communication from Mandan protesting
against statement made in the TRIBUNE
of the sixth, which was corrected IN the
issue of the Seventh in relation to trans
fer of real estate by w. II. Simpson to
Col. R. M. Newport. 1t is assumed that
the case was purposely misstated in order
to make an unfavorable comparison. The
facts are there were two galleys of proofs
in the issue Of the paper of that date that
escaped the eye of the editor, and these
salleys were full of typographical errors.
The Simpson item was among the num-
Der and that is all there is of it. Let's
we're rendered flats, and one figure was
dropped out in making up.
Mandan has no reason to complain of
the treatment received through the TIKI,
BUNR. The Mandan columns have been alb
solutely under the control of the Mandan
agents, and all that they have ever writ
ten the writer believes has been pub
lished, and they have not suffered more
from proof reading than other persons do
who do not have an opportunity to read
their own proof.
