BEAUTIES OF NATURE,
The Presidential Party Revelling in
them in the Yellowstone Park.
The Geysers, the Grand Canon and the
Falls Graphically Described.
The Party in Robust Health and De
lighted With the Trip.
A Graphic Recital.

CAMP ALLsoN, Yellowstone Canyon, Aug.
28.-Leaving Yellowstone lake at 6.55 this morn
ing the presidents party journeyed eighteen
miles over a splendid trail to this point. The
road was equal to any turnpike in the states
and on the way the party halted at the wonderful
mud geysers. One of them is known as the
Editors Hole and one as the Devils Cauldron.
As the party looked into the latter and
LISTENED TO THE RUSH AND ROAR
of the seething water and mud that boils but
finds no outlet it was generally remarked that
the place was properly named. The canyon of
the Yellowstone Oh y hich we are now camped
surpass: description in grandeur. Two falls
between which we have pitched our camp, are
equal to sublimity and beauty to any upon the
continent. Leaping and rushing between pre-
cipices of red and yellow rock, Yellowstone
river seems to tear it's way through solid noun
tains leaving in its pathway forms of uncouth
and awful majesty seen nowhere else. Mingled
with these scenes of nature We find here also the
inevitable tourist, male and female, each of
whom is anxious to see not only the canyon but
the president and
1T Is WICKEDLY SUGGESTED
by some of then: that the eyes of these lovers
of nature are directed more frequently to the
latter than the former. We will probably re-
main here tomorrow, and expect to reach the
railroad September l. So far the trip has been
one Of unalloyed pleasure, and all are in the
best of health.

A Thriving Town

Seated in one of the elegantly appointed
coaches of the North Pacific railroad a pleasant
ride Of two hours over rolling prairies takes one
to the pretty little city Of Steele, some forty
miles east of Bismarck. The town was named
in honor of Hon. W. F. Steele, the pioneer, and
certainly the most extensive farmer in Kidde
county. Two years ago the present site of the
city was uninhabited, and few if any settlers
were to be found in that section. Today Steele
is an incorporated city with population Of
perhaps four hundred, while the prairies oE
every side are dotted far and near with the houses
of enterprising, frugal and thrifty husband
men. Standing at the depot one can see new
and elegant houses being erected in almoae
every direction, aad large fields of grain dot tho
prairies as far as the eye can reach. The town
at present boasts of two large and we'll selected
stocks of general merchandise, one clothing
house, one hardware store, a neat and we'll &C.
lected stock of drugs, frst-class hotel, . req
taurant, billiard hail. livery stable, aud last but
not least bright, spicy little weekly newspaper
published and edited by Menrn
Britton & Beach, who have been
indefatigable in their efforts to build up and
improve both the city and the country tributary.
Steele is the comfy seat and metropolis Of Kid
der county, and her citizens are ever alive to the
inception Of any enterprise calculated to bee-
eft either the city or county. Among the i'm
provements now going on may be mentioned
large and really elegant hotel, which is to he
three stories in height, and finished and fur
nished in superb style. A large school house is
also in course of erection. and in few short
weeks this temple Of education will be con-
pleted and ready for use. A new bank is also
contracted for, and will shortly be opened, with
w. F. Steele as president. There are perhaps
fifty houses in course of erection, and many
more projected. The little city is supplied with
two lumber yards, both of which carry large aud
well-selected stocks Of. building material.
A abort distanoe east of the depot ip- the Iafge
and elegant home of Hon. W. F. Steele.
the founder of the city and one
who has done more to build up the
town and county than all others combined.
His house and grounds are really elegant xnd
his numerous buildings indicate that he il
thoroughly familiar with every detail of the i'm
mense agricultural interests he so successfully
manages. But the writer has neither the time
nor space to particula1ize and will only add
that Steele, surrounded as it is by magnificent
farming lands and populated by frugal, indus
trieus, thrifty and enterprising people, will grow,
prosper and become one of the many prominent
cities for which North Dakota is so famous.

Bismarck's display at the Minneapolis exposi-
tion is the subject of great deal of discussion
and comment in the Minnesota metropolis, and
Farmer Wallace has not only become favorite
among the newspaper men of that city, by his
entertaining descriptions of Dakota and the
Missouri valley, but has been promoted to the
rank of colonel, which fact will please be re-
leigh county. The following is taken from the
Minneapolis Tribune:
Bismarck undoubtedly 'takes the cake" with
her display, which is in charge of Col Wallace,
who has carried of the blue ribbon for his town
thatched with wheat straw, 80 arranged that the
heads only are visible, is 10xl2 feet in
size and fifteen feet high. The cor
ner posts are hidden by straw, the heads
of wheat deftly arranged in spiral manner. A
low railing is also concealed by small bunches
of wheat. Suspended from the center of the
ceiling is large bell made of wheat straw, to-
gether with other emblems equally beautiful.
A hundred or more foliage plants Of all shapes,
sizes and colors in pots occupy the floor. The
chief attraction, however, Is a large canoe
made of straw, beautifully ribbed with heads
of wheat and oats. 1t is about eight feet long,
suspended by wires neatly concealed by ever
greens. IL 1s cOmpleCey ulleO WIN vegetables.
It bears the following inscription from Whittier
Behind the squaw's birch bark canoe
The steamer smokes and raves;
And city lots are staked for sale
Above old Indian graves"
Adjoining is the vegetable and grain display,
which is the largest and most attractive in the
whole agricultural department. Col: Wallace
says he is sorry that Minnesota isn't better repre-
sented, as he wants a chance to beat her, as he
has in years past.

IMPORTANT Suggestions.


Shrewd caoita lists and speculators in making
investments figure on the future. It has been
demonstrated in the growth IF every western
city that the men who have purchased desirable
lots and butt tenement houses on them for rent
have made more money than those who have
purchased rurely on speculation without regard
to location. 1t has been said that no money is
as good as rent money, and those in Bismarck
who are TAX ing in from 800 to $500 per month
in this way will testify to the truthfulness of
this statemtnt. Where, then, is the best place
to invest? 1t is reasonable to suppose that the
advent of tvo or three railroads from the south
east will materially advance the value Of east
end property. These roads will build yards,
roundhouse., shops, ETC.. east of the present city
of Bismarck there fore lots between the original
town and tie shops where the men are employed
must become desirable for residence purposes.
The laborer cannot afford to ride in carriages
and street cars He tuill rent residence
az near his business as he can.
This being the fact, lots in Sturgis addition
must become valuable for tenement houses.
Buildings eiected here will fin d ready tenants
who have tte ready cash to pay their rent.
few thousan nd dollars, therefore, invested in
lots and house es in this addition must return
neat profit t. the investor. Probably no other
addition to the city of Bismarck Offers such
great inducements as this. Already several
residences are going up and large warehouse is
being erected on Main street in the outside block
of this addition. Capt. Stephen Baker, "ne of
the original owners of this addition, it will be
seen elsewhere, is offering number of lots at q
low figure compared with other property in the
city and thesuperior advantages it enjoys. Par
ties desiring to build Immediately can secure
extraordir ary terms if they apply Immediately,
for Mr.. Baker says he is bound to have the ad-
dition covered with buildings before snow flies.
1t is but necessary to look at the plat of Bis
marck to be convinced of the deslrability of this
property. Every lot lays high and dry and the
most distant corner is only five minutes walk
from the business center of the city.

Through Freight.

As an illustration of the advantage which
Bismarck has in the matter of through ereights,
because of thu natural thoroughfare supplied
by tho Missouri river, o. w. Bennett stated yz-
terday that he had buggy shipped from Fargo
to this place, upon which the freight charges
were $3.50. Soon after he had similar veh-
Gle sent from Grand Rapids, Mich, over five
times the former distance, and paid as freight
thereon only $15. Bismarck receives freight
at much s. expense than: any town along
the line of the road and when a through line
is com pleted between the capital city and Chi
cago, wholesale point and commercial center
right here will be as inevitable as the complete
settlement of Dakota. .--t

feeling very blue, they are now feeling in the
best of spirits, that Mr.. Dalrymple, for instance

CAMP ALLISON, YELLOWSTONE CANON, Aug. 80,
via Livingston, M. T.. Aug. 30-[special. 1.-The
presidents party remained at Csmp Allison
yesterday, so that an excursion could be made
to the narrow points of view from which the
Grand Canon could be seen. Our camp was in
a beautiful gr>ve, and the day was very interest
ing, but uneventful. We start for the lower
falls this morning, as our trip is drawing to its
end. This is probably as good an opportunity
as will be presented to refer to the
INVENTIONS OF NEWSPAPERS
which have continuously published pretended
special telegrams purporting to be from cores
pondents with cur party. No special cores
pondents have been with US. The falsehoods of
these pretended specials are apparent to any
one knowing the distances to be travelled in this
region, as the correspondents seem to transfer
themselves and to send their reports in one day
over distances which cannot by any possibility
passed in three and four days.
THEIR SILLY STORIES
of personal incidents are not of sufficient con-
sequence to be denied, but the stories of danger
to the president, and of his being in bad health,
90 beyond the bounds of permissible hoaxes as
misleading the public in matter Of general
interest, and for this reason it should be known
that there has not been at any time the slightest
grounds for any such stories. The president is,
and has constantly been, perfectly we'll, and has
travelled the whole journey on horseback, being
excelled by none in his enjoyment of our march
and camp life.
THE ONLY OTHER FALsEHOOD
worthy of mention as being on subject of
public interest is, that on this journey any at
tention has been given by the president, secre-
tary of war or General Sheridan, to a new policy
of dealing with the Indians. If such matters
were to be dealt with the secretary of the in
terror would have been present, and it is sutj-
cient to say that manysnewspapers have been
fighting man of straw. A single illustration
of the deception of these specials is found in
making our party arrive at the upper geyser
basin on day when we were four days march
distant from it.

NEW YORK, Aug. SO.-Police Officer Maurice
McNamara was arrested for causing the death Of
John smiib, by clubbing. Only yesterday Nc
Namara was before the police commissioners
upon charge of cruelty for clubbing respec-
table citizen few weeks ago. Captain Petty,
in command of the precinct to which McNamara
is attached, said: II am sorry to say have men
under me would not believe under oath. They
are shame and disgrace to the city, aud If had
the power they would not remain on
the force twenty-fonr hours. They
reflect upon good men, several of whom
ara ashamed to be known as being connected
with my precinct" "Why don't you make
formal complaints against them?" II have
done this time and again, but those complaints
still lie there. I don't feel like giving my
opinion of the death of Smith last night as it
would not be exactly right, but McNamara
is bad man. He has bad record on
the force and his conduct in arresting
Ross Randolph, for which he was tried yesterday,
was simply outrageous" "Why don't you sus-
pend such men pending an investigation of such
cases?" "What good would that do? They
would still receive their pay just the same, and
be doing nothing for it." McNamara was ar
rested while patrolling his beat. When taken
into the captains room in the Elizabeth street
station he displayed not the least concern, coming
swinging his club with defiant air. II in
tend to hold you as aprisoner pending the exam
ination of witnesses by the coroner" said police
captain Petty. McNamara was apparently sur
prised, not having before been informed why he
was wanted at the station. He leaned over the
table at which his superior officer sat and in a
gruff voice said "What?" The captain repeated
what he had said and McNsmara replied: "Au
right aud went up to the railing where he
answered the usual questions put to prisoners
and was lodged in jail.
