sheep Culture on the Missouri slope.
Dugold Campbell arrived yesterday with
thirteen hundred sheep from Cheyenne, Wyom-
ing. He purchased them in April last, drove
them to the Black Hills where they grazed dur
ing the summer, and has now driven them over
the old stage road from the Black Hills to Bis
marck, arriving as stated. He lost but one
sheep on this long tramp and landed them here
in excellent condition for winter. He drives
them from here to Glencoe, a few miles south OF
Bismarck where his ranch is located This ia
really the beginning of an important industry
in this county. worth far more to it than bonanza
orops of wheat. The soil climate and grasses
of this region are peculiarly adapted to sheep
culture. It is an industry that will not be
seriously affected by lack of rainfall or early
frosts 80 damaging to crops. 1t is better than
cattle growing because returns are quicker and
less capital is required to begin operations. 1t
is to be hoped that the farmers of this region
will watch this enterprise and profit by the ex-
ample that is given them.

Twas midnight in the capital. All was
silence. The waiting breezes with their noise
less wings we're supreme rulers Of infinite space
The meteorological editor of the TRIBUNE was
standing alone in the midst of natures elyslan
flowers and ripened fruit. As if awakening
from state of gloomy inertia, he beaeid to the
west of the raging Missouri glimmerlnR on
the horizon. Then like sun-burst morn, the
overhapping vault was all aglow with crystalline
rays Of purest sunlight. The Missouri's surface
assumed pellucid sublimity which transoended
the fairest sheen of Killarney's song-wreathed
lakes. On the quiet waters we're boating parties
with fans und gauzy dresses, white straw hats
and gIeeful laughter. At the eastern border OF
Dakota's .boundless plain" the moon appeared,
and the seeming reflection of the western phe-
nomenon gave it a strange red hue, and from
the north the silvery green sky gave evidence OF
au1ora's affectionate reunion with old boreas'
Soon was heard the sweet, low melody of warb-
ling songsters and the Eolian music OF balmy
winds sounded the perfect harmony OF natures
band. just then the whistle of the saw mill and
tho clamoring of bells rang out the MONDAY
hour and the scribe aroused from his blissful
slumbers to walk to dinner in the rain and gaze
upon the threatening clouds. Twas all a
dream. and as he splashed through water and
sat down in mud he repeated something about
the world and Aeeting show.

A New Manufacturing Enterprise.

A New Manufacturing Enterprise.
MIR. R. W. Franklin, of Philadelphia, former
manufacturer of that city, told a TRIBUNE re-
porter yesterday that if his present plans we're
carried out he would start sash, door and
blind factory here in the spring. He qualified
bis remarks by saying that If an institution Of
this nature was established here by other parties
before he could consummate his scheme, he
would not undertake it. The arguments ad-
vanced in favor of factory for the manufac-
ture of sash, doors and blinds are numerous and
encouraging. In the first place, these are artl-
oles which are more bulky than the lumber, and
in shipping the lumber in manufacturing the
articles here, q vast amount of freightage would
be saved. In growing city like Bismarck, the
number of buildings being erected will make
this business profitable, and give to its proprle'
tors rapidly made fortune. 49,,

Dynamiters.

HALIFAX Oct. 18.-There was considerable
excitement in this city last evening over the ar
rest of two men with large quantity of dyna-
mite in their possession. In NAV last informa-
ton was received from Ottawa that an attempt
would probably be made by Fenians to destroy
the public property. Precautions were taken by
the appointment of extra police and other
means. Nothing occurred and the matter was
laughed over. About a month ago Lieut.. Gov.
Richie got q warning from Ottawa Of the de-
parture from New York for Halifax of suspicious
characters supposed to be connected with the
dynamite branch of the Fenian brotherhood.
Again nothing happened. Two men giving the
names of VIM. Bracken and Frank Holmes ar
we'd last Friday and put up at the Parker
House. It is believed that they came from the
states. They gave no names to the hotel people
and paid weeks board in advanoe. Detective
Powers watched them and searched their roons
in their absence, finding dynamite, which was
secured. He then arrested the men.

Frost Dam

made last night in the Minneapolis Journal, that
one third of the wheat in the Red river valley
was destroyed by an early frost, the Northern
Pacific elevator company of this ,ity, stated
that in their territory extending forty miles
wide on each side of the North Pacific railway
the percentage Of wheat injured in the manner
above described is very slight. At only four Of
the elevators sEt of ffty-three has any frosted
wheat been received and at those the proper
tion did not exceed two per cent out of the
entire receipts. Near the Manitoba boundary
and in Manitoba considerable cereal is said to
be injured, but tue southern portion of the Red
river valley seems to have almost entirely es-
capped.

False Rretenses.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 18.-Jacob Arbli was today
bound over to the criminal court under bonds
of $4,000 for obtaining $l7 900 from George
Sevenie, an old man under circumstances indi-
eating fraud. Sevenie signed an agreement
that Arbi should have the money on condition
of boarding him for the rest of his life. The
sons of Sevenie claim, and the old man joins
them in the complaint, that Arbli drugged him
and that he was held prisoner at q saloon keep

DR.. L. NJ. Maus, of the United States army,
returned to Bismarck last evening after an abb
sence of over two years, and will resume his
duties at Fort Lincoln. He came to this point
in 1877 and remained until 1881, since which
time he has been stationed at New York Harbor
and Fort Lewis, Colorado. Having bis choice
of several locations the doctor says he oonsid-
cred Dakota infinitely preferable to any other
part of the union, and has now come to remain
several years. While here before he invested
in considerable property in Bismarck and other
sections of tho territory, and now he believes
that his money was put in the proper place.

advices from Abtata report that the population
of the town is decimated by yellow fever, the
deaths averaging twenty daily for two weeks
On the Sd of October Abtata was struck by a
hurricane, killing several people and destroying
the greater part of the town. The inhabitants
sought refuge in the mountains. Several miles
of the Smalloa Durango railroad track was torn
up, the bridge over the Yuriacitos blown down.
The depot machine sheds are the only buildings
left standing. Private loss estimated at $4,000
and with the fever and hurricane the missing
and devastation is something terrible. Latu
custom house officials say that the collector of
the port of Abtata is among those killed by the
hurricane.

Damage to Wheat.

DULUTH Oct. 18.-Interviews with Duluth
grain men today, show that the universal opln-
ion here is that the report from Minneapolis
about frosted wheat is sensational ano grossly
exaggerated. Out of all the wheat received here
this fall, 100000 bushels, there have been
but 10000 rejected or condemned, and the
superintendent of elevators says that not l,OO0
bushels have been condemned on account OF
frost. There has been some more dropped one
grade or two, on account of frost. r. 8.
Munger, who manages an elevator, says
that of the total amount of wheat
received from North Pacific road less
than ten per cent had been frosted. Very little
wheat from the province of Manitoba has been
received and the proportion of that injured by
frost is much larger. One grain operator thinks
that perhaps one third of it may possibly be
damaged by freezing. Grain men think the
report was started by the millers association for
purposes best known to themselves. 1nforma-
tion has been received from Milwaukee that
large amounts were received there marked
frosted wheat which Minneapolis graded No.
two there.

Freight Classification.

CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-The subcommittee of the
classification commission for east-bound freight
pool, visited the stock yards yesterday and
made inquiries concerning the shipments of
dressed beef and other dressed meats. The
rule has been that dressed beef can not be
received for shipment except upon payment for
full car lots. 10000 pounds. This did not inter-
tere with shipments in bulk to seaboard, but
for interior towns smaller consignments are
frequently wanted, and it became the custom
for shippers to make up the necessary weight by
putting in dressed pork, mutton, etc. The
question before the commission was whether
this practice can be allowed to continue. The
subcommittee decided to recommend to the
commission that the practice be not interfered
with.

Villard's Action.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. l8.-Railroad manager
here say that the threated refusal of the North
Pacific to continue the official contracts eysten
will have no effect on rates west of the Missouri
river. Under the fifth section of the private
agreement, tho North Pacific took solemn OBJ
legation, as the clause reads, to maintain the
present rates. Managers here claim that Willard
has to do so until he gives the required ninety
days notice of withdrawal from the compac4
The reasons assigned for this proposed action q
the North Pacific railway are that Willard wants
to establish special contract system on his owp
line. One manager asserts that he is doing %
now, IN violation Of the agreement entered into;
that he has proof that Willard offered speoisl
contract rates to Portland me chants immedi-
ately after the close of the conference,
the contracts to run to December 81, 1884. He
says also that he has reason to believe that Viii
lard committed himself by promise to give
through rates on local traffic. These matters
will be considered at the meeting in Chicago on
the 3lst, when another commissioner will be
elected. ss l.s-@0 =

Meteorological,

New YORK, O,t. 18.-The Herald noting the
atmospheric depression from the Pacific coast,
which for several days has been slowly advanc-
ing eastward over southern California and Ari-
zona says: "As this depression advances toward
the Atlantic seaboard it will raise the tempera-
ture in all districts south Of the 40th parallel,
and this will help all autumn crops to mature
while also postponing the first killing trosts
south of the Ohio valley. Being a comparatively
drv cyclone its effect will be particularly favor
able to the sugar and cotton growers OF the gulf
states at this critical period of their operations,
Int in advance of this storm in the northeast
tie NAVIGATION of the lakes will be dangerous" :"
