BIsMAEK, Dakota promised to
wrire you something in regard to the
trip here and country. will give you
the best | have in the shop. We lett
Canton, Mo-, March 20, and arrived in
this place on the 9th at 8 p. m., via
Rock Island, st. Paul G. Fargo. Cost of
second class ticket $26.
On the morning of the 22nd we left
St. Paul, the snow was four inches
deep and the mercury % degrees below
zero. We arrived IN Fargo at 1910
p. m., same day, and found eight inches
OF snow, and the mercury % degrees
below zero, but | could not believe it
was so cold until looked at the the mo-
meter 1t was very calm and the sun
was shining brightly.
On the 23d we left for BIsmark
After sixteen hours OF good lively rum
ming we reached jamestown on the
Jim river. The snow lessened gradu-
ally and it was thawing some at that
place.
On the oath day of March a. Z o'clock
p. M, we arrived at the city of Bismark
and found it a frontier town. Put up
at the Custar House, board $3.50 per
day. Bill of fare, bread and butter,
potatoes, buffalo beef. venison, and
coffee. Whiskey and Milwaukee beer
in quantities to suit the purchaser.
Whisky % cts per drink, beer 10 cts
per glass. Last, but not least, gambling
in all ways, Is carried on openly and
and boldly, seven days in week.
Labor is in good demand. Farm
laborers command from $25 to s35 per
month. Every incoming train Is load
ed with passengers from every country
on the face of the globe, and all classes
are represented. The hotels are full to
overAowing, and there are seven large
ones, besides numbers of boarding
houses.
Small farms rent for one third of
the crop. Ex-Mayor Hackett has gone
to the Moose river country. He has
oeen absent SIX week-three weeks
longer than he expected to be gone;
there is considerable uneasiness mani
tested concerning the safety of the par.
ty. The large st. Bernard dog that
went with them having returned alone,
some are inclined to the belief that
the party has frozen to death; but old
hunters say the men are too well versed
in such business to freeze, and say that
the red skins have had something to
do with their prctracted stay. If they
do not return IN day or two there is
relief party ol ganized to look for them,
and ! am one of the number.
More ifyou like it,
FRANK SMITH.

CiTCu|ation,---I32O
THE EXTRA SESSION.

There is prospect OF a little tun at
the state capital when the legislature
meets for the purpose ofre-districting
the state. 4 portion Of the democracy
are in favor of the measure. and still
another portion are opposed. and among
the latter, Senator Vest is said to have
arrayed himself. Those who are eppos-
ed, will, upon the meeting of the leg
islature, attempt to bring about an ad-
journment sire die at once. In favor
Of immediate ADJOURNMENT, will be all
those who have their arrangements
completed TO serve the people as demo-
cratic congressman, from Missouri, for
the next, two years. and they will labor
earnestly TO defeat the re-districting
If their Prospective candi-
dacy is likely 10 be endangered by it.
While upon the other hand the as
piring ones, who have no chance on ac-
count of more successful rivals, with
the districts IN their present shape will
clamor loudly for new deal. The
fight will probably be bitter and the
more so the better. Everything seems
TO be working toward the defeat of the
democracy in this State, at an early
day. and little war between the
factions just at this time should not be
discouraged by the republicans. The
extra session mas been called-the ex-
pense will have to be borne-and the
democracy are OF course responsible.
If the wing of the democracy IN favor
of re-districting should be likely to
prevail, the republican members
should allow them to do so: for they
might try for an age and they could
not get the districts in worse shape
for republican success. So We have
nothing to fear, while If those opposed
are likely to bring about an early ad-
iournment the republicans should not
object TO that, but let the democracy
fight it out among themselves. In
either case the result will likely be to
our advantage, and the republican
members can well afford to stand back
and watch the musS. And if little
twitting is necessary to urge the COM
batans on, 1t would be admissible un-
der the circumstances. The republi-
cans have everything to gain and
nothing to lose, while with the democ.
racy it is everything to lose and moth,
ing to gain.

LITERARY NOTES.

We have before US pamphlet enti.
tie ''The Sabbath, its origin, Nature
and perpetuity" by Elder T. J. Wheat
now of kirksville, being a review of a
sermon delivered at mass meeting
held at the Baptist church in Mexico,
Mo-, May Sth, 1881. The sermon was
originally published in the Mexico
intelligence, by request OF the ladies of
the Sabbath Reform Society, and ap-
pears in pamphlet form with additions
by request of large number of mem
hers and laymen of the NJ. E. Church.
From cursory glance through its
pages we judge the subject has received
a very exhaustive and thorough treat
ment from the se1ptural, historical
and theological standpoints.

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1882-10-08

New York, October 7.-Charles and
Bob Ford, the slayers of Jesse James,
having fpished an engagement at the
Broad way museum, leave tonight for
Riusas City to stand the trial for par
ticipating IN the murder OF Wood Hite,
one of James gang, who lost his life
mysteriously at the house o: the Ford's
father early last winter.
In conversation tonight, Bob Ford
said: swell, l see Frank James has
come In and surrendered; now L am
anxious to see what Governor Critten-
den will do. He promised me rs UGH
as that he would never pardon Frank.
If he does, then l think they Ind better
lock Frank or me up, for this world is
not big enough for the two of us. II
we are both at large one Of us must
surely be killed. Frank will never give
up till he kills me, and 1 am sure |
don't propose to die at his hands if l
stand any chance to get first shot. His
desire to reform is all stuff. He simply
wants to get in because he Is afraid TO
stay out, or perhaps he thinks it the
easiest way to get ut me He's a nice
penitent, and it would be a nice state of
affairs to turn him loose to go Cunning
after me-" DE-
The yodng man is evidently much
AFFILIATED at the prospect.

The most unfortunate of women is
the minister's wife. When he reads
bis erm0n to her after lie las just
completed writing them there is no COLI
gregation present with new bonEets to
draw her mind away from his words.
The question, What is a goddess
school2" is we'll answered by the story
of IL woman recently examined for "a
communal school in France. Being
asked If, in a reading lesson, the class
should fnd the word God, what word
she would put III place of it, she replied:
Il should read straight on as it was
written;'' and she was rejected. Ac-
cording TO the London Spectator. this
is Il specimen OF the crusade against
religion carried on by the present Ad-
ministratiun in France. We have less
and less faith in common school educa-
ton that leaves out God, whether in
this country or any other; and IL tins is
the system now being pushed in France,
another woe.for that country is sure To
be sounded by and blythe Congrega-
tionalist.
A most remarkable story comes from
Ovid, Mich. The ~veracious report
gays: Great excitement in this county
prevails over the peculiar predicament
of Il man here who, Disguised with tie
rain, which was rottiug his wheat,
seized a large butcher knife and, rush.
ing into his field, said he wished he
could catch God and cut His
throat for sending so much rain. No
sooner had lie uttered these blasphe-
nous words than lie stood rooted to the
spot, from he has not since moved. Two
doctors from Flint tried to rescue him,
but they were frightened away by the
thunder and lightning. The people of
the community round about are all
praying for his delivery, but as yet
without avail.
