The President Dead.

The end has come. James Abram
Garfield died at Elberlon, n. j., on
Monday night, Sept. 10, 1881.
Springing from the humblest paths
of lite, he rose to the highest office
upon earth, and his advancement
was the reward OF worth and fitness
rather than the possibilities of
chance. In his death the entire ma
ton have suffered bereavement, and
every civilized country on the globe.
unites its tears with ours. The Ell
feet Of his death upon the institu-
lions ct the Republic cannot now be
toretold, but strong sentiment is
springing up to relieve the office OF
President of many Of its most dlffi>
cult and embarrassing duties, and
surround it with more dignity and
greater protection. In compliance
with the provisions OF the Constitu>
ton, Chester a. Arthur has assumed
the heal OF the Government, and the
machinery OF State moves Oh with
out "a jar.
President Garfield will go down
to history as man OF great power
and merit, and his Administration
one OF happy promise. Since Wash
ineton, no man has held so strong a
hold upon the hearts OF the people,
and his name will be held In rever>
ence and love as long as the AmeriS
can Republic shall last

The Coming Epidemic.

A wise man of the east has figured that
the noon day star, or the star Of Bethle-
hem, which makes its appearance once in
315 years, will appear IN 1887 bringing
with it atmospheric changes that will be
very destructive to human and animal
life, and he declares that repetition of
the plaques of former centuries may be
expected. Astrologists, also, claim that
the positions of the planets during the
next five years assure numerous storms:
tornadoes, and earthquakes and preva-
]ence of epidemic diseases. They telieve
large percentage of the people Will die,
especially those of incorporate habits.
They recommend perfect drainage for
cities, and abstinence, as far as may be,
from animal food, and total abstinence
from alchoholic drinks; that those who
hope to survive should confne themselves
to q vegetable diet. Dakotaians need not
worry for the high latitude of this region,
the perfect drainage to bo found IN most
parts OF the territory and the pure air that
abounds in all parts givea assurance that
in North Dakota will be found the home
Of the elect.

All River Freight via Bismarck.

The freight, both government and pri-
vate, for all points in Montana, will be
shipped via Bismarck this year. The gov
crnment doesn't propose TO pay 25 cents
per 100 pounds, per 100 miles, for the
long river transportation from Running
Wafer or Yankton when there is a way to
get the freight 10 the Missouri liver at a
point 700 or 800 miles above, thus saving
50 per hundred on transportation. The
North Pacific will also make such rates
ON private freight, that it, too, will come
this way, as the boats will not care to go
below tor small trips. Bismarck Is now
the headquarters for Missouri river trans
portation- item of over $500, 900 to the
merchants of this city. The increased I'm.
migration, together with the activity
created by the bridge builders and steam
boatmen, will make Bismarck boom this
year IN such manner as will surprise
tho old settlers.

Postal Changes.

A late ruling of the postofice depart
ment makes some changes in regard to
the classification of mail matter. For
some time 1t has been permissible to
send statements of account, notices of
notes becoming due partly printed anu
partly written; that is, a printed form
with the name, amount, ETC., written, at
third.class rates. This has now been
changed, and this class Of matter put
where it clearly belongs, viz: personal
communications, and chargeable with
tirst-class rates. 1t should also be re-
membered that the fact of letter being
unsealed makes no difference whatever
as it is the class of the contents upon
which the pustage is rated,

A Burst Of Oratory and . S'Sceno'' I'm
the Dakota Legislature
Sioux CITY, Ia, March 10th.

Editor Tribune:
You are, ere this, probably aware that 1
am going across the ocean to invite the
wealthier and better class OF the people OF
Ireland to come out to the west and en-
gage in agriculture while yet lands are to
be had at reasonable prices.
Last Tuesday week some friends sub.
naitted a resolution to the Dakota Legis-
lature, endorsing me for rendering my
free and voluntary service in talking up
Dakota Singularly Ito me) there were
some members, both in the council and
house, who knew nothing of me (what is
fame y and what was still more surprising
to me, amongst the number of members
who had known me long and intimately,
none thought it necessary to tell the re-
ma1nder who was or anything OF my
past record. The resolution was first in
troduced, and under suspension of rules,
passed the council. When it came to the
house. your member from Burleigh
County, with truthful and just earnest
ness, which l appreciated more than even
the passage of the resolution, got up in
his seat and with the air and indepen-
dence of an upright and earnest man, said
he would vote against the resolution, as it
provided that was to have no compen-
sation, and he didn't believe in sending
me out over the seas advocating the
claims of Dakota at my own expense.
When some member suggested that l
didn't want or ask any compensation, he,
in burst of oratory that centered all
eyes and ears on him, said it was historic
of me to be working for the public with
out compensation, and closing his re
marks walked over to where was sitting
with roll of green backs he carried in
his hand above his head and threw them
in my lap, saying take that, talk and res
olutions are cheap, but know you and
know that resolutions and endorsements
are not articles of currency in Europe.
Take these and spend them while repre-
aenting Bismarck & Northern Dakota" "

may not be inappropriate to remark that
I had unusual facilities for watching the
character and influence of members and
that in influencing Legislature, control
ing the action of members, and obtaining
favorable consideration of the local bills
introduced to him, he was the one single
remarkable success in that legislative as.

Iwant to put myself on record right
here, that when Dakota becomes state,
there is an honored public niche which
the people will reserve for J. F. Wallace.

Sustaining 'sTho Tribune"

DR.. J. H. Guild, Of Rupert, Vermont,
who owns large property interests in this
country, is determined to do his part
toward sustaining Bismarck papers. He
recently sent checks in payment for the
weekly to himself and brother for two
years and the daily one year, and shows a
disposition to take a.half Gozen more
copies if necessary to sustain the enter
prise. 1t was through The TRIBUNE that
DIR. Guild was led to invest in this coun.
try. The same is true of I. w. Barnum
who is doing, probably, more than any
one man to develop the country he has
chosen for investment.

Clean the Streets.

If there is anything that the people of
Bismarck should pride themselves of, it
is it's cleanliness Located, as the city is,
high and dry, with excellent drainage, no
pains should be spared il. the keeping of
the streets clear of rubbish and filth.
Every property owner should see that his
frontage is clear OF instances likely to &C.
cumulate from day to day. The expence
viii be light and the attractl veness of the
streets Will serve as IN index of the people
to the strangers who perchance visit the
CITY with q view OF investment.

DAILY PAPER REPORTERS. II
The Various Species and the Modes OF
Operating.

The Various Species and the Modes OF
Operating.
(School of journalism, First Reader.)
This is reporter. You will notice how
finely he is dressed. He wears his best
clothes every day, because he doesn't
know what Sunday is. Reporters have
an easy life. They seldom go to work be.
fore 10 o'clock in the morning, and are
often through with their labors by 10 al
night. There are many kinds of report.
ers. The society reporter goes to parties
and weddings. He takes down the names
of the people who have been invited,
whether they are there or not, and prints
them IN the paper the next day. Once a
man started for party, but got too full
for utterance before reaching there, and
was locked up. The society reporter said
he was at the party, all the same, but the
police reporter said he was fined So for
being drunk. So this man got his name
in the paper twice, but he cut out one of
the items for fear his wife might see them
both and think the press was making too
much of him. Men are not often so mod
est. The sporting reporter goes to horse
races, base ball games and cock fights. 1t
Is wicked TO 60 to horse races if you bet
on the wrong horse. Once there was cro-
Quet tournament in large city, and the
editor of a paper knew that somebody
must write it up. So he spoke to the
sporting reporter. "What have l got to
do with those dizzy croquet players" ="
said the sporting reporter. That's a So
cicty event." II guess you are right re-
piled the editor; SO you can go up in the
country about two miles north of where
the street cars run and see if it looks as if
we would have an early spring; and then
this evening there are four land league
meetings for you to look after" So the
sporting reporter had little something
to do, after all, and clubbed himselfquite
heartily. A man need not have q classi-
cal education in order to he good re-
porter. but he must be able to hustle
around some. and hump himself when
there is big fire or q murder. Reporters
can get nearer to fire than anybody ex
cept the firemen, and the new ones do it.
But the old heads at the business know
better. They stand on the corner until
the frc is out and then they geta hack and
go to the house of the man who owns the
building, and ask him how much the old
shell was worth, and if he thinks the in
surance companies will arrest him for set
ting it on fire. This is when the man acts

The Missouri still Unbroken, but Con-
trary Hourly Expected.
The ice has broken at Buford; at Ste
venson; at Stand ing Rock, but still sticks
at Bismarck The "break" is expected
every hour, and may have occurred be-
fore this reaches the readers eye. The
water Is over the banks and the bottom
south of the city is covered. Yesterday
was the best thawing day Of the season,
but not enough to make any serious in
road into the snowy fleece that covers the
neighboring hills and valleys. At Senti-
mel Butte, west of the Little Missouri, the
mercury was above seventy on. Thursday,
and all through Montana the same balmy
current seemed to flow. The spring wa
ters of Montana have been rushing by our
landing for month and ought to be all
out, but there is no sign of any let up at
present Crossing on the ice is only &C.
complished with the assistance of a yawl
boat. Messrs. Hager, Kurtz and Shields
were in party that came over Thursday
evening after dark. They had boat but
that preventive didn't save Mr.. Hager
from ducking. A long cottonwood pole
in his hands saved him from passing un-
der the ice and joining the long list of
Missouri's victims. Mr.. Shields went in.
to hole to his arm pits and only saved
himself by vigorous extension OF his
arms. After they got across Vanderbllt's
millions would not have induced them to
try it over again. Mandan is still free
from water, but Cushman's claim is quite
damp.
The ice above the warehouses moved a
little on Wednesday but the mass is stlll
combating the vexatious waters: 1t will
be sight when it goes. The North "a
ciic transfer boat will give the alarm:
At Buford, to-day, the river is falling
slowly There are still large gorges above
Buford.
The river at Fort Yates broke at 5 +. m.
on Wednesday, but soon gorged: 1t is
now gorged half mile below Yates.

counsel for the prosecution as firm
ly as she had carried out her pur.
pose of teaching John Throckmor-
ton that q woman scorned is a
woman wropged. The jury. with
out leaving their seats, decided
that the defendant was a sane
woman, and the court promptly dis-
missed the petition OF John Tbrock-
morton asking that she be commit
ted to the lunatic asylum. This
trial, however. parted rhrockmor-
ton aud his ghost. Ellen Goodwin
declared that she had exposed her
faithless lover sufficiently aud gave
up her intention of teaching him
coptrition. The counsel upon the
trial were w. r. Thompson and
Albert 8. Willis for the prosecu-
tion, Hon. E. Y. Rarsons and Mark
Munday for the defense. Mr.. Par.
sons M ade such an eloquent appeal
for his client that he became a
great favorite with the public, and
was subsequently, sent to Congress
1T has always been said-npon the
strength of this speech.
To a Courier Journalist last
mig ht, Colonel Muudsy stated that
shortly after the trial, Miss God
win wrote the history of the entire
affair, and has been offered by
we'll known publishing house $40
600 for the manuscript, which upon
his earnest advice she refused, aud
the book WAS never published.
Miss Godwin was quite q brilliant
writer it is ssid, aud many Of her
articles were published by the
leading magazines OF the day.
A bout u year ago she died of con-
sumption at her home, on Jeffer-
son tIest, near Shelby. She left
be bind her neat little fortune,
which passed into the hands of
some OF her relatives, who still re-
side ia Louisville and are emineui-
ly respectable people. 1t has been
stated that she was always shabbi-
ly dressed in her pursuit of John
Throck kmorton. This she did ip-
tentionalIy, because, as she stated
to her counsel, she wanted her ap-
pearsnce TO be as reproachful as
possible. John Throckmorton and
Ellen Goodwin are both dead now,
but this story of their lives is an
exemplificstion Of the fact that
"truth is stranger than fiction"
Majcr Throckmorton received fro
his father a fne estate, but lost it
all by security debts. His last and
about his only business pursuit in
Louisville wasin the Fall of 1877
aud Spring of 1878, when he sue
ceeded Col. Johnson as manager OF
the Gait House.
