store. The building will be occupied

this new enterprise, and we trust Nh.
Jonas will find it profitable.
The Bismarck Tribune, one of the
leading daily papers of the territory,
has the following good word for Dick
inson. 1t is short but speaks vol
umes of truth: "Parties from the
west speak in glowing terms of the
wonderful growth and apparent pros
perity of Dickinson, the county seat
and metropolis of Stark county.
Dickinson is admirably situated to
command an extensive trade"
We acknowledge the receipt of an
invitation to attend the grand ball
and banquet of the Dawson County
Live Stock Mutual Protective Asso-
ciation, to be given at the Merrill
House, Glendive, Thursday evening,
Oct. 18th. A large number of invita-
tions have been issued and it is ex-
pected that the banquet will be one
of the grandest affairs of the kind
ever held in the Yellowstone valley.
The invitations, a very neat and
tasty job, in four colors, were printed
at the Times Office.
Death has removed Dakota's first
great man i'll the demise of Judge
kidder, an associate justice of the
supreme court Of the thmitory. lie
died at st. Paul, a week ago Tuesday
and was buried from the Jackson

The actual time of the junction of
the Northern Pacific tracks in Mon
t;una, was August 22d, at three o'clock
in the afternoon, but the programme
OF the opening ceremonies having
been arranged for September Sth, and
the movements of American and for-
eign guests made to conform to that
date, it was not feasible to change it
when it was found that the tracklay-
ers were going ahead faster than was
expected.-Northwest.
A level-hcadel editor takes occa-
sion to remark: "When local editor
tries to keep three OF four scores of
topics in view during single week,
besides caring for a wide range of
outside duty, how easy it is to allow
an occasional one to slip. After
nearly every issue of the paper these
omissions become conspicuous, and
the writer feels worse, we dare say
than anybody else. And how nat
ural it is for frail humanity to lose
sight of whole page full of news i'll
discussing the occasional omission or
mistake that Will creep in
We are not in favor of lynch law,
as general thing, but when horse
stealing becomes so frequent and the
thieves so bold as they have along
the line of late, we think if their
bodies were made to stretch few
yards OF hemp it would have salu-
tary effect. and if some of them are
caught there is no doubt but that
tley will have the pleasure of dane

down the muZZle of Winchester.
The parties who went in pursuit of
the thieves who stole eleven head of
horses from here last week have re-
turned without bagging their game.
They traced the thieves into the Vel
lowstone valley, where all traces of
them were lost.
A few of the newspapers east of
the Missouri river break out semi
occasionally and attempt to cry down
the country west of the Missouri
river. In so doing they expose their
ignorance of this part of the terrI-
tory and do themselves us well as the
people of this section injury. The
Fargo Republican in speaking of that
part of the territory says: ut will not
be long before every county, outside
of Indian reservations, between the
Red and Missouri rivers and from the
10th parallel to the boundary line
will be organized and have ample i,
come to sustain local governments
that will foster civilization and drive
lawlessness beyond the ''big muddy
forever When that time comes
they will find the West Missouri
country SO thick1y settled with all ell
terprising and "civilized'' class of
people that the lawlessness " ;.ich the
Republican roposes to Gr,:e ''beJond
the big muddy will not be tolerated
here. No, no. Mr.. Republican, yo;.
will have to hunt more cOngenial
cline for the lawlessness which you
admit now exists in your section of
the territory. We have here good
country which will prosper as will
all Of Dakota if the newspapers will
drop their petty jealousies and work
