Fire Clay.

Here it is again. Another discovery of vast
importance is to be reported to the public. A
vein of fire clay, four feet deep, within about
fifteen feet of the summit of the hill north of
the city, has been uncovered, and company is
already formed for its development. It would
seem that nature in her mighty convulsions,
had heaped u conglomerate mass of all the
valuable materials at her command within the
borders of Dakota, and that Bism arck and the
Missouri valley has received the lions share.
Aside from first class brick, the best of building
sand, glass sand iron, COAL and terra Gotta clay,
the capital city is now enriched by the discovery
of the finest quality of fire clay: Messrs: Alex
Mckenzie, Elijah Coffin. Geo. q. Walsh, and
several other prominent citizens have organized
q company to utilize and burn the clay into
brick, and soon the fre-proof material will be a
Bismarck product of no small import. a.

that accumulated on his hands. When less in
trepid men would have thrown down the pen,
closed the key and told the Western Union com
pauy to go to Helena, or some other seaport, he
valliantly remained at his post aud rushed
through all the business his physical endurance
would permit. For several nights his only sleep
was caught in ''cat naps' on newspaper spread
upon the floor ofIhis Office, from which he would
arise and resume bis labors at the first call. No
hope of reward stimulated him-nothing but a
sense of duty under his official position. If the
company does not substantially reward him for
his persistent faithfulness the old adage that
Corporations have no souls' will be clearly veri
fed. BE has done his duty faithfully and we'll
and his fidelity should be recognized by those
in power.

The Indian Com mis- sion.

United States Senators John A. Logan, Of II
eron, of Wisconsin, composing the senate oon-
mittee appointed to visit the Indian agencies in
Dakota arrived in the city Sunday night, and
their baggage was transferred to the steamer
Bachelor, which will carry them to the various
agencies along the river. The purpose of the
visit is to investigate into the grounds for the
damaging e reports and charges made against
Newton Edmunds, Judge Shannon and II. TEL
ler now secretary of the interior, in regard to
the manner in which the Indian names were re-
ceived for the treaty reported by those gentle
men.
After breakfast Tuesday morning the party
was conducted about the city by the governor
around the capital grounds and the plan Of the
building and surroundings was described to

thorough examination of the various entes~
prises of the city and expressed themselves az

to compliment the commissioners upon the site
chosen for the capital, and gave vent to ;tiae

More Prosperity.

The report now comes that Williamsport, the
future county seat of Emmons county, is to have
a railroad, which will pass through that bright
little metropolis in it's course souta from Bis
marck. Williamsport has brighter prospect
than any town between Bismarck and the state
of Iowa. All who have been so fortunate as to
become the owners Of land near this embryonic
commercial center are giving praise to the ruler
of their fates and destinies as we'll as cougratu-
lating themselves upon their exceptionally good
Judgment. A number of buildings are now in
process of construction there, and over mil
lion of dollars is in the public fund of those
who are interested in the town to push it for
ward and bring it before the people as one of
the most important points in the great
agricultural territory. Now that a railroad is
virtually assured them. the peop'e have taken on
metropolitan airs and are ready to welcome Wis
itors and new comers with outstretched arms.

"A Change.

Mr. George Mccullough, who is we'll known ss
the manager of the Sheridan house sample room,
has severed his relations with that popular
house and will enter into the commission busi-
ness in the capital city. Mr.. Mccullough is
worthy of a far better position than he has oc-
cupied since his arrival in Bismarck. BE is a
gentleman of intelligence and high instincts.
Formerly of Grand Forks, his many friends in
the Red River valley will be pleased to learn OF
his advancement in the metropolis of the Mis-
souri, valley. In Iowa he won state reputation
as commission merchant, and he will find
North Dakota congenial and healthy cline for
the same business. George has many unosten-
tatious friends in this city who will see to it
that his interests are not neglected. and if he
mains among the academic influences and cap
itol surroundings of the metropolis bis fortune
will not be small.

The Rochester Disaster.

CHICAGO. Aug. 23.-Congressman Mark n
Dunnell telegraphs the following graphic picture
of the Rochester disaster to the Daily News:
The cyclone struck Rochester about 6:3O in the
evening, Tuesday, lasted minute and half,
and largely spent its force on the north half Of
the city. All the dwelling houses but two on
the north side of the track, embracing the entire
ward, are wholly destroyed and most of them
blown into atoms. On the same side ore -four
mill was demoralized, another nnroofed and
large foundry wholly demolished. Van Duzen's
large elevator was unroofed. The depot and all
the adjoining buildings were wholly demolished.
THE DESTRUCTION FROM THE DEPOT
north was substantially completed. The bridge
over the Zumbrota river near the depot was
destroyed. The destruction on the south side
of the track was very great, but not so sweeping.
The court house was unroofed, as also the Cook
House. All the churches were badly damaged,
the Methodist chnrch suffering the most. Not
less than 100 buildings on the south side Of the
track were more or less damaged. The des-
truction Was mainly north of the Cook3House
that part suffering complete wreck north of
the depot, which was inhabited by laboring peo-
pie. Darkness set in soon after the tornado and
the scene was terrible. Twenty-Five dead bodies
were taken from the ruins, many OF them pa
rents with children.
NOT LESS THAN 250 BUILDINGS
wholly or partially ruined. The loss cannot be
less than $3.50, 900. The loss of life is very
great; twenty-five killed and four or five have
died since. Some seventy now being cared for
who were injured. OF those now in the hospital
some fifty are
TERRIBLY CUT AND MANGLED
by flying timbers and pieces Of wood. The
destruction to life and property a'ong the track
OF the wind is very great. Two persons were
killed near Kasson. Cattle in large numbers
were killed. Grain in stock and shock was
taken somewhere and generally not leaving q
single straw behind. 1t is not possible for me
at this time to give more detailed account
of the most terrible cyclone that has
ever visited our state. st. Paul sent $4,000 to
the sufferers. Owatonna will send $1,000 and
other cities and towns will send relief. The
poor of the city are the greatest sufferers.

UNE reporter learned from Mr:~Wil.on that 9Th,
sheep business was never in more prosperous
condition than now. 1t is no. uncommon thing,
for herds to double in numbers in one year,
and he was of the opinion that there were not
fifty diseased animals in the territory. Most OF
the Montana sheep are bought in Oregon and
Washington territory, where they cost about
$2.25 per head. From there they are driven
across the country to the Montana ranges. The
Musselshell country is considered the best sheep
raising sectisn il the territory and the land is
being seized upon at wonderful rate. In Ore
gon, where the sheep are raised for the wool, the
Merinos sheep are greatly in demand, while in
Montana, where mutton is the valuable product
a coarse1 grade of animals are being introduced.
