Homework.

Girls who fancy that there is anything
degrading about homework make a
great mistake. 1t is not demeaning; on
the contrary, we consider it elevating.
A girl can be just rs much a lady in a
sweeping-cap, with broom in hand, as
in breakfast-cap. reclining languidly
with book in hand. The truest, noblest
and best woman we know has been
trained from her girlhood to look, prac-
tically, to the ways of the household.
and yet she is a lady in every respect,
an orr ament to the most cultivated So
ciety. When you have homes of your
own, girls, and are obliged to get along
with little or no help, you will be thank
full for the training you have imposed
upon yourself in youth, or if it fail to
your lot to have servants in abundance,
you will be glad that you can rule and
direct them. and should they leave you
without any warning, as they are some
times disposed to do, you will be ''mis-
tress of the situation able to take hold
successfully until such time as relief
may come.

A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring renovating, should
bear in mind that the dear little inmates
of her house are more precious than many
houses, and that their systems need
cleansing by purifying the blood, regulate
ing the stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure the diseases arising from spring malaria
and miasma, and she must know that there

surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best

A Night Out.

Eugene Currie, q. pilot on one of the
boats which recently returned from Ben
ton, had an experience at Rocky Point
which has caused him spell of sickness.
While tue boat was lying at the bank he
wandered of, probably dreaming Of the
girl he left behind. Upon his return to
the river, darkness had spread her man
tie over the scene and the boat was on the
opposite side of the stream, leaving HIM
to shiver in his shirt sleeves on the bank
of the river until daylight. During his,
night out he caught severe cold and has
been confined to his room at the Mer-
chants until Yesterday, when he came out.
He is threatened with pneumonia, and is
constantly raising blood.

The Fargo Races.

The postponed races at Fargo begin to-
day and will wind up next Monday. The
track is reported to be in fine condition
now, and great many fast steppers there
and in shape to cut down former records.
The attendance is also reported as very
large. Everything, in fact. augurs grand
sport at Fargo during the next four days.
The Pioneer Press, in speaking of the
horses that will participate in the free
for-all, which will come off tomorrow or
Monday, says; "The free.for-all ought to
be won by Won Arnim. If he starts, 9th.

Major HarmOn's Herd,

Major Harmon's boss herder was in the
city Tuesday. He reports the stock on
the ranges IN prime conditional and
sleek as mice. They have been feeding
in grass up to their eyes (when their
noses were on the groundD duri ng the
past month, and consequently picked
US rapidly. MI
The cows with calves have more of the
.lacteal fluid ID, al the calves can get array
with, and have to be MIXED each day.
Thus the ranges in this region are run
ming with milk, and only lack the honey
to render this land flowing with those
sweet, llfe-sustaining ingredients.
AS soon as the roads settle somewhat
Major Harmon's herd, which has been.
added to to such an extent as to require a
much greater lange than he now has, will.
be driven to point about thirty miles
west Of the Little Missouri river. There
are 1850 head now en- route from Mime
sofa, that will pass through Bismarck
during the next two or three. weeks.
When this lot reaches the new range the
Major will have over 1900 head to look
after. He intends to bring his herd of
thoroughbreds out from Sturgis, d. T., to,

Route Agents West.

Some days ago the Mandan Pioneer

charging that they carried mail by that
Office, and sent them much mail belong
ing west, &c. There is no foundation for
this complaint. The mails from the east
for Mandan are put up by the route agents
east of Bismarck, and delivered as they
are put up. The mail accumulating at
Bismarck for Mandan is; put up IN an
other pouch by the Bismarck and Miles
City messengers, and has never failed to
be left Mail for Dickinson and other
points west where there are no offices is
sent to Mandan for delivery under orders
to be delivered at the nearest postof1ce,
and it is this accumulation of mail that
the Pioneer refers to as belonging to
points west The messengers on this
route have poor facilities to work with,
and like all postal employees may make
occasional mistakes, but they are as faith
full and as efficient as any in the service.
There is no occasion for the complaint

The Crop outlook.

Farmer Marsh returned on Sunday eve.
ming from his ranch near Clark and is
very enthusiastic over the crop outlook in
this region. According to his observa-
,ions there never were better prospects for
a bountiful harvest IN any country under
the sun than are presented at this very
hour~in this section. All kinds of cereals
and gardenaruck are greatly advanced.
The wheat is growing so rapidly as to
render the stalks as tender as wax, but
under few days Of sunshine they will
tougher and shoot out great heads: It is
calculated that at least all the February
sown wheat has gained such headway
that it could ripen and yield twenty-five
bushels to the acre without another drop
Of ram. 1t is deeply rooted and profusely
stooled, shading the ground thoroughly,
and the ground being completely soaked
the moisture will be retained for weeks,
thus enabling the heads to fill and ripen
before injury could come from a drought
even if such thing was probable.

water has been very high in that valley,
as elsewhere. The old townsite of Vil-
lard was flooded. and therefore the town
has been moved back q short distance to-
high bench land, where the water will
never reach. The overflow has bred
swarms Of big, fat mosquitoes that keep
the denizens in motion over there. Buff
falo gnats are also plentiful on the Mouse
at present. He reports the crops and,
garden truck which were put in on the
flooded land as in q vigorous and adj
vanced condition.
Mr.. McClear says that on their return to
Bismarck they were surprised to see the
number of settlers that have taken Aloca-
tions in the Turtle valley. These new
corners are nearly all Swedes, and they!
are harl at work turning over the sod
and building houses. That valley has
genuine boom.

!. Under the caption Of Robbers Arrested = !.
the name of our toWnsman, Pete Bannigan,
figured rather conspicuously in the columns
of the Bismarck TRIBUNE yesterday. has-
much as Pete never was convicted of any
robbery or crooked business of any kind, the
writer of the article is certainly guilty of do
ing him gross injustice. If Pete's name
has got to be dragged before the public, he
will thank the TRIBUNE or any other paper to
be little more careful as to the heading un-
der which it appears in future.
Pioneer.
Mr. Bannlgan was convicted of murder
and sentenced to be hung. He was con-
victed because public sentiment de-
manded sacrifice. No matter what evil
dence might have been brought in his IA
vor to show that the killing was done in
self defense, there was disposition to
convict in order to stop the shooting
scrapes which were .then common Incl
dents at Bismarck. Subsequently Ban
nigan was granted new trial and acquit-
ted, and If he or his friends desire to take
offense at the TRIBUNE's allusion to the
fact that be was convicted under untortu-
nate circumstances for him, it can't be
helped. The TRIBUNE repeats that there
is the same disposition now that there
was when he was convicted, and woe un-
to the man who is brought into court
charged with fraud or robbery affecting
immi igrants They will be convicted and
any who are inclined to impose upon the
immigrants had better skip at once.

Shore road went on strike for more wages,
led by Frank Cavan, an Italian boarding
house boss. The strikers engaged in riot,
locked non-strikers up in their shanties and
put guards over them, and attempted to
throw an engine and forty fiat cars down a
ferty-foot embankmsnt. Cavan defied the
sheriff and his posse, declaring that he would

The Hand Car Accident.

The fatal accident which occurred in.
the depot yard in this city between 1 and
2 O'clock yesterday morning to the hand
car party from Clark is directly attribut
able to whisky and carelessness The un.
fortunate party on the car had no rights
upon the track at that time; in fact they
were there, the TRIBUNE is informed by
Station Agent Davidson, in violation of
general orders, and the cOrOner's jury
which set on the remains of VIM. Hack
EFT yesterday, attached no blame to the
engineer Of the engine or to the railroad
company The blame.al rests with the
band.car party. At the time of the col
lision the locomotive, which had red
light out on the tender, was backing up
in order 10 enter the round house, and
was not moving to exceed four miles an
hour, but the hand-car was under rapid
motion.
Joseph Lowrie, the section boss whose
left leg was cut of below the knee, is in a
critical condition. His injuries are
greater than heretofore reported in these
columns. He is much bruised about the
head and throat and his upper jaw is de
tached from the skull so as to be easily
moved with the fingers It is feared that
erysipelas may set IN. In such an event
his injuries will in all probabilities result
fatally. The injuries to the three others
are of no consequence.
In this connection it lis opportune to
say that medical ethics require an expla-
nation of the item which appeared in

No mention was made Of DR.. Porter in
