FEATHER IN BVRLEIGH'S CAP.
What is thought OF President Hayes
Seed Wheat.

In an article referring to the wheat
raised on President Il ayes farm last sea-
son the NoisAscestern Land Journal, pub
lished by Hon. E. P. Wells of jamestown,
says: I'VE have no hesitation in calling
attention to the card in another column
headed 'sSeed Wheat" We do this more
readily because we can endorse every
statement made by Mr.. Cushman. A samp-
le Of this Bald-head Flint Fife can be
seen in the Office of the LAND JOURNAL,
and we would invite the inspection Of
our resident and transient visitors. 1t
adds nothing to the real value of this
wheat, but it certainly delracts nothing to
know that it has grown on President
HAYES farm of which Chas. M Cushman
is manager, It isa feather in the cap of
Burleigh county that the President of the
United States should have selected that
from all h1$ vast domain in which to open
and deveopa farm. Mr. Hayes has in
OF smooth, beautiful farm land, every acre
of which 1ssc1pabie Of producing and will
when prepared, its % or 80 bushels per
acre. The absolute necessity for good,
clean seed iii order to harvest good crops
cannot be too strongly urged upon our
farmers, and the fact is equally well estab-
lished thatIit pays to change your seed as
often as every two or three years; while
We raised ln Stutsman county last year no
seed, u few pf our farmers sent 300 miles
from homelfor seed wheat and those are
the men whosecrops in our wheat report
show u yie1tl OF 36 bushels per acre.

JOSHUA WHITCOMB.
He Appeared at Raymond's Last
Night before q Delighted Audience.

One of the largest and most apprecia-
tive audiences greeted Manager Whitney's
excellent entertainment at kaymond's
Hall last night. 1t must be indeed en-
couraging to MIR. Whitney to know that
his efforts to please the people are so well
appreciated. The evenings entertain.
ment was varied, interesting and intense
ly amusing. The olio was made up of
choice songs ana gentecl sketches in
which Mr.. and Mrs. Den Howe took an
active part. Miss Castleton and Miss Les
lie have good voices, and despite the
wretched music they sang nicely and won
many rounds of applause. Chas. Roach,
in genteel song and dance, acquitted him
self finely, and Oscar Willis, the funny
"moke' provoked smile from every face.
w. H. Davenport in leading parts, sketch.
es, ETC., issalways good, and IN this event
completely outdone former efforts. The
evenings entertainment concluded with
the Imaginable comedy, Joshua Whit
comb,' With Den Howe as Uncle Josll,"
and Miss ELLA Howe IN the role Of Little
Tot" the e;street.sweeper. This comedy is
one of the most popular and successful on
the American stage. Itsparkles through
out with mirth provoking witicisms and
convulsive situations. The cast was a
strong one and the acting almost faultless:
There was only one thing which, seemed
to mar the evenings entertainment. The
music was wretched This was not the
fault of the musicians, but the instru-
ments. At the Opera House {. piano is
used in the orchestra and the slow, dull
strains of the organ last evening were
none the less disgusting to the audience
than to the young ladies upon whom they
were forced as accompaniment. 1t is to
be hoped that at the entertainment next
week Mr.. Whitney will see fit to include
the piano, the chief instrument in the or
chestra The success Of these entertain
ments at Raymonds Hall has induced
Mr.. Whitney to make arrangements for
giving an entertainment each week dur
ing the winter season. That he Will have
full houses sseach week is Il foregone con-
clusion. The entertainment given is fully
as good as that of offoreign tronpcs that Wis

SEEING THE SIGHTS.

Especial Dispatch to 7'he -7'ri6u'e:)
ST.. PAUL, Jan. 18.-Last week two
nonchala mt young men visited the varie
ties, one post-trader on the Little Mis-
souri,, the other telegraph operator from
Dakota They decided to see the sights,
and therefore "took in" a private box al the
side of the stage. which not only afforded
them good opportunity to see the j liber-
ated charms Of the dashing actresses but
also protected them from the searching
gaze Of a gossipping audience. During
the entertainment the enthusiasm of the
audience became very intense and the Gu.
riosity of the Dakota gentlemen was so
aroused that one of them stood up on
chair to gaze, through a knothole ut the
crowd This was an unlucky move for
the trader. 1t was but a light board par
tition overlooking the orchestra at the
left of the stage, and as his chair, which
for some reason became unsteady, took
backward motion, the weight OF the
"majah' was thrown against the naughty
screen, which gave way and fell with
crash ON the heads of the musicians and
the piano, the Chief instrument IN the or
chestra. This was a part OF the play
unlocked for by the audience, who, think
ing an earthquake mad swallowed them,
gan clammoring for the door. The
trader was left in most ludicrous posi-
ton on "all fours" upon the fallen parti-
ton; his friends cuat-tail caught on nail
in endeavoring to get out Of sight, and the
heads of the ''real Dlondes'' were seen from
behind every fly, in wondering astonish-
mcnt at the new act on the boards. The
knot-holc was again sought; both gentle.
men passed through and have not since
been seen. -.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT,

Especial Dispatch to 1he Ifa6une.)
YANKTON, Jan. 2O.-The house was full
to evertiowing today, considering the bill
taxing railroads. The representatives Of
the railroad were here in full force: The
minority favor pushing the matter
through without discussion, but after the
arrival of the train last night, a change
took place, and the matter will come up
en- the 29th. Barnes is champion of the
bill, and Wells leader of the opposition.
Wells bill for registry law has been re-
ferred to the committee on towns and
counties, and probably will be defeated.
BAD FOR WALLACE.
In the council the contested Bismarck
election is still being considered. The
committee sat down on Wallaces effort
to introduce oral testimony, and the pre-
vailing impression is that this tavors the
sitting member.

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.
YANKToN, Jan. 20-There was very it,
tie done IN the Legislature to-day. The ex j.
tension Of time for the session seems to
have filled the breast of each member
with q longing to "gs Slow, There is no
doubt but that twenty days would be suf.
fcient to transact all the business, but Sc
a day is too good a thing to throw over
the shoulder. Thus far about dozen bills
have passed the council, mostly of local
nature. Those passed by the house are
also of little importance. The ones in ger
eral interest arc, one requiring physicians
throughout the territory to produce their
sheep-skins or close shop; one relating to
railroad taxation, which is opposed to the
railroads; one prohibiting the killing of
prairie chickens until they become too
tough to eat; one by Mr. Wells, providing
for registry law, and one by Mr.. Ken
nedy, abolishlng the custom Of printing
insurance statements in newspapers. Y es-
terday the council passed the bill appro-
priating $4,000 fora
PENITENTIARY AT S1OUN FALLS,
also the'bill increasing the salary Of Judge
Moody, Of the Black Hills. The petition
from Pennington county, asking that the
provisions of the herd law be extended
one year, was considered and bill passed
to that effect. Pembina County has been
given the right 20 fund her Indebtedness
and build court house, and Lawrence
County will also have the same privilege.
WALLACE VS. SMITH.
The contest of Wallace VS. Smith came
up before the committee on elections to-
day. Mr.. Wallace is working like a hero
for his seat, while Mr.. Smith does not
seem to be at all alarmed. It is generally
believed here that Smith will hold his
seat at least two weeks yet. Mr.. Wallace's
friends make no direct claims but state
that lie will get in before the session
closes. Both houses are down to business
now and some important messages will
be considered and disposed Of next week.
Harmony prevails throughout and the
session promises to be the most dignltied
and important Of any in the history of the
territory.
