The Burlefgh County Jews.

Editor Bismarck Tribune: notice an article
published in the Washburn Times of the 23d of
August, headed "The Russian Jews in which
complaint is made against the conduct
of the Jews settled in the vicinity of
Washburn. Living among these men and know
ing them all, am able to say something con-
cerning this matter.
Now, what lave to say is this: The article in
question, which is full of injurious terms, can
not and must not be applied, without exception,
to all the Jews in general, living in this part of
Bur}eigh county. know personally every one
of these men, their way of living and doing
business, etc. and therefore state that it is not
just on the part of the Times to blame the con-

THERE has been SO much to write and
talk about during the past few days that
the TRIBUNE has failed to speak of its:
large issue of Wednesday morning. 1t
was the largest paper ever issued in
Bismarck and contained more reading
matter than half dozen ordinary news
papers. Six thousand copies were print
ed and the postmaster notes that several
hundred were mailed to Germany and
other European countries by the Willard
guests. One thousand copies were taken
by Mr.. Willard himself and distributed
among his guests on the train after :leav-
ing Bismarck. Had not advertisers res -
ponded freely it would have been i'm
possible to get out such a paper. AS one.
German remarked: II know Bismarck is
a good town and has live people, for l.
see it in your pa per- A newspaper Is
what the people make it and the TRIBUNE.
is pie ased that it was able to give the
Willard party such a favorable impression
of the town and people as it did upon
this occasion. It is the people who are
benefited, as the newspaper is the mirror
that reflects the business, push and enter
prise of a community. The TRIBUNE has.
grown steadily and solidly until now it's
position as the leading newspaper in the.
northwest is only disputed by the Pioneer
Press, which, with pardonable modesty
perhaps, excerpts itself.

Guard Against Burglars.

Nothing is 70 essential in the furnishing OF an
Office or business house as 6rst-class tire and
burglar proof safe. With this yo7 can sleep
peacefully at night knowing that your hard
earned money is out of the reach of thieves and
fire. Mosler, Bahman & Co., of Chicago, make
the best safe in the world, and their agent, MIR:
Ellison, is now in the city for the purpose Of
supplying the prosperous Bismarckers with these
proper safeguards. During his short sojourn
here Mr.. Ellison has sold over forty safes and
all who purchased are we'll pleased. Mellon
Bros. have purchased the most perfect vault and
safe from this firm that has ever been sent west
of Chicago.

NEXT WEEKS EVENTS.

A Series Of Good Things, Embracing
Weeks Trip without a Parallel in
Summer Excursions.
The interest in the grand series of excursions
over the B. & 0. to Baltimore, Washington, Har
per's Ferry, Luray Caverns, Old Point Comfort,
Furtreas Monroe. Mount Vernon, ETC., increases,
as the time draws near, Certainly no such at
tractive programme has been offered by any
great railway liue for Yeas. There is almost
no end to the enjoyment provided. OF course
Baltimore will be the base of operations, all the
special trips ramed being from the Oriole city.
The B. & O.'s tickets wi be good to Baltimore,

part Of then, then he pays for those and no

This certainly is the on,y fsi- basis upon which
such q series Of EXCURSIONS cou.d be arranged
and must meet the endorsement of all inter-
ested. Washington is but forty miles from
Baltimore, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
running trains between the two cities in the
lightning time of fifty minutes. The fare for
the round trip will be only dollar and twenty
cents. Baltimore is already getting into her
holiday attire; stands are going up everywhere,
and as for illuminatlons and the general light
ing of the streets, nothing like it was ever be-
fore attempted on the Continent. The idea of
making the affair q Summer Nights Carnival
was = capital one, as not only are effects gained

given during the day for excursonists to visit

Jews and one of their neighbors on account of
crops, but again repeat not all the Jews are
concerned in this matter, but only few of
them. Now, those few I am speaking of are de-
cidejly bad characters, to whom the term ''h-rd
lot" has to be applied and only to them. One
of this few, the leader of the, gang, is what may
be called the v"ry demon of rascality, and it
would be a blessing to all in general and to his
countrymeu in particular, to have this man
driven out of this community altogether. There
i" no possible way to get along with him; he
spoila the reputation of the Russian Jews in
this county, and neither threats nor entreaties
can make him change his shameful conduct.
This man was tried not long ago for assault and
battery, and fined. am sure that a. soon a.
they get rid of Thu man the neighbors in this
vicinity and the Washburn Times will find out
that the Jews are not worse than the ir Christian
