lican central committee are requested to
hand them to the Secretary, Mr.. T. a.
Cummings, at once.
We are glad to learn that Mr.. Stuart's
little boy, who was SO badly hurt some
time ago by being run over, is improv-
ing and able to get around on clutches.
Justus Fey returned from Barker a
dav or two ago and is now engaged in
reftting his photograph gallery prepare
tory to beginning business at this point
again. &
Can't. Maratta, superintendent of the.
Coulson line, was the democratic candl-
date for the legislative council from the
Bismarck district, and doubtless was
beaten.
r. A, Cummings new brick building
on Front street is going up rapidly ana
will be under roof in a short time. w.
G. ZONES has the contract fer the carpen-
ter work.
Young America, in Benton, is very
little behind his brother in the states.
We noticed yesterday two little fellows
of about nine years walking along the
streets with pipes in their mouths.
Frields & Neehoff's teams will load at
n. G.. Power q Bro.'s to-day for Assina-
boine and Fort Belknap. They viii
load SO, 900 pounds altogether, $4,000 for
A~sainaboine and II, 600 for Belknap.
Tom Morgan, who has been down at
Poplar creek looking after the Interests
of z. c. Power & Bro. at thai place, Tor
merly in charge Of the late Tom Bogy,
came in yesterday. He will return TO
that place III q short time.
Chas. Mayn and Louis HUMAN re-
ceived 5000 pounds Of most excellent
butter Yesterday from White Sulphur
Springs, most of it from Mayn Bros
ranch. It is for sale, and has been stored
in T.. J. Todd & Co.'S warehouse.

another nice lot of apples, also q number
of boxes Of fine pears. MI. Cameron

French candies-and in fact his little

We are glad to learn that the service

quicker, from Northern Montana to the
states, and vice uegs0.
Missouri Bill was brought in from
Barker yesterday with q very bad leg.
He has been troubled with it for several
years, but recently indications point to
q cancer. An examination will be made

will have to come OFT.
II. G.. Power q Bro. have taken 3 new
departure and made quite an innovation
in Benton business life by securing the
services Of Miss Kitty Tonge behind
! their dry goods counter. Miss Tonge is
one Of Benton's most popular young
ladies and will undoubtedly, in her new
undertaking not only give great salts
faction to the firm but make it very
pleasant to those who have occasion to
deal with her. We fully expect to see
Power & Bros sales increase rapidly
from this on. The firm are the ones to
be congratulated in this case.
The Nndisonaan says: Now tina the
Utah & Northern railroad is about built
to the Little Blackfoot, it may be e
pected that work will soon be common
