Dakota.

Dakota: There is music in the sound both
for this nation and the Church of Christ Ds-
kota lies midway between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, is almost four-square and has 81,
area of 900 square miles. 1t was spoken of
in the recent past as the Unknown Land 1t
was marked upon our maps as q part of the
''Great American Desert It was supposed to
consist Of dry alkaline plains, fit only for wild
beasts and wilder men. But these plains were
found to be rich prairies-with unlimited agri-
cultural capacities. Since then the growth of
Dakota has been somewhat like magic. Where
but few years ago there aared the council fires
of the savage Sioux, today stand great cities,
brilliant with electric lights Where there were
then the wigwsms Of the Ojibway and other
savage tribes, today there are the luxuriant
homes of white mea. The dog-sledge of the
Indian and the w.'oden cart of the fur trader
have been pushed aside by the locomotive. The
raft and the canoe have been supplanted bv the
steamboat Today Dakota stands SOC, 900 strong,
knocking at the doors Of congress for admission
to full member hip in this great sistetbood Of
states.-The Interior. ~

The New City Map

II. B. Stranahan & Co., of Moorhead, we'll
known map publishers are here with complete
drawing of their new map of the capital city, ,
detailed description of which appeared in the
TR1 BuNE few weeks ago. This map will EN-
brace double the area of the last issue, repre-
senting about nine square miles. and allowing
all the new additions. 1t will be of great value
for reference, and no business house or dwelling
should be without one. As other maps do not
show the location Of the capitol or penitentiazy
the demand for this work exceeds all former
issues. Mr.. Kslmerton, q member of the pub
lishing firm, will remain in the city for some
time to correct all errors and attend to the de-
tail work, and an accurate representation Of the
banner city will be offered to the public.

"A Happy Man.

Chas. III. Cushman passed the night following
the circus in thanksgiving and praise. Not be-
cause he had seen the plans for the capital
adopted, and visited the greatest show on earth,
but because copious rains visited all that section
of country lying north of Bismarck. 1t rained
on the unrighteous son who mccked at the dis
tress of his father, and cast him out into the
world helpless and alone, and upon the good
people of the Hayes farm and vicinity. 1t not
only rained but it poured for an hour or more

county is concerned. The prayers of farmer
Wallace reached the throne and were answered
in the rulers best although somewhat demon
stative style, and this morning there is abundant
cause for rejoicing. "

rich finds are sixty five miles up the Missouri,
and these gentlemen report that there Is no
doubt in their minds as to the quality and
quantity of the coal. Several pieces of black
diamonds were brought from the bed and are
the very finest quality Of hard or anthracite
coal. The country from Washburn north to
the big bend is spoken Of as one Of the most
beautiful and fertile tracts in the territory,
the crops having rich, abundant appearance.
and even corn looks as healthy as it ever did in
Illinois. These gentlemen also found = superior
quality Of pottery clay,a specimen of which
WAS sent east for analysis. Mr.. z. J. Hammond,
Of the Victoria colony came down with the
party after having plated town, and goes
east now to organize the colony. Settlers aae
pouring into the country at an almost incredible
rate, and this promises to be one Of the most
prosperous and wealthy sections Of the entire

coal, and pottery clay, and with its rich agri
cultural fields, will be one Of Bismsrck's most

The Trcacherous Yellowstone,

The TrcacherOuS Yellowstone,
Livingstone Enterprise: Yesterday Sam En-.
glish's we'll known face and red hack were
missing from their accustomed place at the
depot when the train came in, and the report
was current that he had been drowned in the
river. Happily little later the report proved
incorrect, though it became dangerously near
being the truth. It was in this wise. Mr..
pEnglish drove his team attached to the drsy
down to the river bank just abuve town to allow
the horses to drink. just rs they were at the
edge of the bank one of them became suddenly
frightened, reared and plunged forward into
the water, dragging his mate and the wagon
after him. Mr.. English, who was on the dray,
narrowly escaped going into the water, and
saved himself only by springing and catching
the limb of tree. Being unable to swim, had
he fallen into the current he must have drowned.
The team and wagon tloated into the swift cur
rent, and one of the horses becoming entangled
in the harness, drowned quickly. The
other, attached to his dead mate,
Aoated down the river and was still alive when
1t passed the railroad bridge, but died soon
after. The wagon came ashore and the carcasses
of the horses struck land down nesr Benson's
Landing. Several packages Of goods which
were on the dray went into the water and the
greater part of hem are Lost. The team was a
valuable one and their loss falls heavily on their
owner. . l5 all 90 !
A very short time after the drowning of the
team horse belonging to Mr.. Woolsey escaped
from the stable and by some means got into the
water and it too was swept on by the swift cur
rent until it drowned. The animal was valued
at $500. i
If report is true this does not conclude the
list of yesterdays casualties in the waters of
the Yellowstone. It is rumored that eight miles
below town a man was drowned in the river.
We were not able to learn any particulars or
ascertain the truth of the story. .

steers, the first of which will be delivered at
Little Missouri tomorrow. He has ALSO pur-
chased of Joseph Leighton s00tead of cattle and
2CO horses. Besides these he has 200 head of
cattle belng contracted for. It is we'll to state
this as it ia feared by some Of the witnesses who
are appearing against him, that the MARQUIS is
only the possessor OF . few score Of cattle.
Receipts aud vouchers are on hand to show that
the Marquis has invested S300000s in this west
ern country. When the Northern Pacific Re-
f.igerat,r Car company gets to work it will pay
the railroad company $500 = day for freight.
II will employ so men constantly and will call
Tor from 1850 to 5000 cattle month. It is
impossible to over er-estimate the value OF
this industry to the West Missouri country.
The stockmen Of the Bad Lands and for hum
dreds Of miles around will have . market for
their cattle right at hand instead of having to
send them to some remote point in the east.
There will be economy in this in many ways.
In the rst place, cattle tha. travel east in cars
lose flesh on the way, while being slaughtered
near the ranches they will yield 70 the owners
the full value of their weight Then. too,
money will be kept ID the country tributary to
Mandan, which would otherwise be paid to
eastern slsughterers and aretsers. So delighted
are the western stockmen with the prospect that
