A Band.

Bismarck must have q first class cornet band,
and her citizens are awakening to the fact that
one of the essential conveniences of q metro
politan city is we'll organized and disciplined
body of musicians, who can turn out and assist
in the celebration of important events, recep
tions, banquets and all public demonstrations.
No matter how much money may be expended
in general jollifcation, nor how much care has
been taken in its preparation and general make
up, there can be no real, genuine American en-
ioyment without band. There are already over
six proficient musicians in the city, who have
demonstrated their ability to hold positions in
the best of bands, and with good leader and
new instruments the capital city could soon
boast Of as good a cornet band as there is in the
northwest. number of citizens have expressed
q willingness to subscribe literally toward the
support of this enterprise, and if some one in
terested will take immediate steps to secure a
thorough musician and organizer as leader, by
next spring Bismarck need take back seat for
none of the thriving cities Of the country in the
line of music In this connection it may be
we'll to state that the Fargo city band, formerly
known as Stones Northwestern band, is now dis
banded and an effort should be made to induce
as many of them as will, to come to the city.
Prof. p G.. Stone is one of the best band leaders
aud harmonizers in the union and could give US
the finest band west of Chicago.

A Large Blaze.
Mason's brick yard was the scene OF destruct-
i've fire last nis bit, which began at l1:SO O'Clock
n. m. The fire bell sounded the alarm, and the
department responded with promptness and
zeal In lees than minute from the time of
the first tap of the bell the chemical engine and
hook and ladder truck were out of the narrow
engine house on Fourth street, and q number OF
,talwart Bismarckians grabbed the ropes to pull
them to the fire. When it was discovered that
the blaze was in Mason's brick yard, near the
river bank, the chase was abandoned, as several
hills lay between the fire-laddies and their warm
destination. and it was known that an attempt
to reach the yards in time for service would be
futile. Mr.. John J. Truttel, of the Pioneer
company was the only member Of the depart
ment who went to the fire, and when he came
upon the angry Juror Of the flames he found
himself alone. He sent by boy for Mr.. jack
man and a part of one Of the sheds was saved,
but tie loss was heavy. A kiln of splendid
pressed brick, first class engine, two sheds and
various pieces of machinery were entirely de-
stroved and Mr.. Mason e loss is several thousand
dollare. The machinery WAS just beginning to
perform it's full duty in turning out the best
of brick and the less of time and consequent
delay in operations doubles the amount of lis
aster. Mr.. Truttel says that the fire must have
been the work of an incendiary and thinks that
tramp or some one who is an enemy or Mr.
Mason must have started the blaze.

Btsmarck's Green House.


A representative of the TRIBUNE was yester-
day shown through the extensive green honses
of e. NJ. Fuller, and was agreeably surprised at
the evidence of thrift and success everywhere
visible. This institution is located on the
corner Of avenue B a. Fifth streets, and is the
largest, best regulated and the most successful
business Of the kind in northern Dakota. Ev-
erything, from the common and ordinary vege-
table, to the most delicate and expensive variety
of flowers, are here Gu tivated. Four large
rooms, especially arranged with glass coverings
or roofs, and regulated to the proper degree of
temperature, are devoted to the cultivation of
every specie of Horticulture. It is really . hand
some sight to enter these rooms and notice the
large variety of fragrant flowers of every con-
oeivable hue. The entire management of this
concern is vested in O. H. Will, who is thor
oughly familiar with every detail of the busi-
ness, and who will take particular delight in
showing visitors the many attractions OF the
place. Mr.. Fuller hss shown considerable
enterprise in thus erecting and successfully con-
Quoting this line of business, and the TR1BUEE
10 pleased to note the fact that, although at.
tended at first with great expense, it has proven
a profitable investment, and may now be con-
sidered one of the permanent institutions OF
the capital city. ....'. s-a%r

Miss WOOdhOuse.

Miss Maggie Stewart Woodhouse entertained
not overwhelmingly large, but select audi
ence in the reading room last evening, by her
excellent readings and elocutionary recitations.
Miss Woodhouse is the possessor of rich mel
low voice, (Which unfortunately was affected by
a cold last night) and her manner is free from
all formal affectation which so often haunts the
lady elocationist. As will be seen by the fol-
lowing programme many of the selections were
of humorous vein and the reader succeeded in
keeping the audience in an uproar during their
rendition. pleasant feature of the entertain
ment were the songs which were furnished by
Mrs. O. w. Bennett, who made her first appear
ance before Bismarck audience, and who &C
quilted herself very creditably. Mrs. Bennett
took a,5;aly part in Fargo's entertainments and
it is to be hoped that her talents will be enlisted
in the admirable calling in Bismarck. The
following is the programme:

Sugar Beets.

1t is stated upon good authority by men of
integrity and good judgment, that no business
would pay better in this country than the cult
walton of sugar beets. In Emmons county the
story is told that the warm weather of the sum-
mer causes the sacharine in the beets to rise to
the surface, where it remains until the chilling
frosts crystalize it and transform it into genu-
inc granulated sugar. OF course this is reck'
less statement, and may not be strictly true, but
the fact that beet culture for the production OF
sugar would be an immensely paying business,
is nevertheless apparent. Here are thousands
of acres of land, upon which the most exuber-
ant beets can be raised, and it will not be long
until this will bo one of the leading industries
of the Missouri slope.

Gold at steele.

According to the Fargo Argus, and the Argus
is always 'on to" everything, gold has been dis
covered near Steele, the capital of Kidder county
The Argus says: ''There was ripple Of excite
ment among the real es ate dealers yesterday
created by the bringing to the city by farmer
who wishes his name kept secret, of q fine speci-
men of gold quartz, found on his claim three
miles west of Steele, on the North Pacific road
and forty five miles east of Bismarck. The
specimens have been examined by old miners,
and they all pronounce it fine. The pieces OF
quartz we're picked up by some little children as
they were searching for pieces Of stone, and
brought to the house, when older heads discov-
cred their value. The theory is advanced by
some that they were but fragments OF boulder
washed down from the Turtle mountains during
the glacial period; Others express their belief
that there is an auriferous ledge running

be employed in this business alone. With two
such important factors located within short
distance of the city, and with splendid asricul-
tural, farming and grazing lands sur
rounding her, there il no reason
to believe but what Sims will become
one of the most important towns on the line. and
it requires no great stretch Of imagination to
predict population of 5000 within the next
two years. The town is situated just far enough
from Bismarck to become an important distribu-
ting point for vast stretch of country, and
when one realizes that at least 10000 Is now
paid out ut Sims every month for labor. it is
easy to foresee the boom the town will enjoy
when two or three times that amount is put in
circulation in the community.
The writer had almost forgotten to mention
the erection of . neat school house now almost
completed, and also church that is now under
contract and which will be completed before
cold weather. Another pleasing feature of Sims
is the total absence of intoxicating liquors, the
company owning the town site stipulating in
every deed that is issued that no liquors of any
kind shall ever be sold on the property, thus in
suring healthful and moral community. There
is one thing, however, that this little city stands
badly in need of, and that is good hotel, to 40
commodate the transients who are sure to visit
the place for the purpose of locating. The
writer desires to express sincere thanks to the
residents of Sims for many oourtesies extended
during necessarily brief visit .zr

A PhilanthrOpist's Reward.

A we'll known gentleman of this city whose
generosity is proverbial, and whose heart always
goes out to suffering, weary or oppressed hu-
manity wherever found, on foreign or on native
ground, has always left his barn unlocked du-
ring the night thinking that some poor, worthy
man might happen along and want place to
rest, ana although his better-half frequently
insisted that the stable door should be locked at
night he argued that it was not just or human
to turn the unfortunate tramps from humble
bed of hay. few nights since this warm
hearted Bismarckian was repaid Thousand
fold for his generosity and confidence in human
ity. Hearing Ioise in the barn he arose from
his couch and proceeded to discover what caused
the disturbance. Upon reaching the barn he
called out "who is there7" and in response an
aged man stepped to the loft window and ex-
planned in feeble tones that he recently arrived
in Bismarck and WAS employed on the capitol
under Charley Thompson. He said ne was pen
niless and desired to sleep in the hay loft. His
trembling tones showed that he feared eviction,
the pathetic scene. The moon shone through
the passing clouds, throwing quiet
amber hue into the atmosphere, and the
outlines of an honest, intelligent, but troubled
face were plainly visible from the dark window
Of the humble lodging place. As the venerable,
white locks moved out on the cool night air,
what tale of disappointments, tribulations,
heart-aches and sorrows was told. There stood,
perhaps, kind hearted old grandpa, whose
children's children had oft clung about his knee
a. he repeated some innocent story of the 'good
old days gone BY" Perhaps the sons and
daughters of this aged outcast were sleeping on
beds of down and rolling in all the pomp and
ceremony of modern style and wealth. Who
knows but this tottering grandsire whose snowy
locks should be the passport to the hearthstone
of any home in hosp,table land, once led
clamoring throng IN his modest country town,
and drafted laws nd rules for the government
of his comm, titles. All these thoughts
flashed through the proprietor's mind, and he
assured the weary, care-worn toiler that if he
could find rest and comfort in this lowly bed,
to remain and slumber undisturbed. The gen.
tleman, whose name is reserved. returned to bis
own comfortable bed, vowiug never to flock the
barn door while there are homeless fellow men.

The Penitential Directors.

The Penitential Directors.
The beard of directors of the Bismarck peni-
tentiaEy met in room twenty-one of the Sberi-
dan house, yesterday afternoon, for the pur-
pose of approving of estimates of work done
on the penitentiary, and taking preliminary
steps toward the negotiation Of the territorial
bonds issued for the construction of the build
ing.
John A. Mclean, chairman of the building
committee, submitted report, stating that work
on the building had progressed very rapidly,
and the best of satisfaction had been given by
the contractor, Mr.. Megan. Mr.. Meg.n has sent
a bid for $4,000 worth of the bonds to the
territorial treasurer, and Meaars. Mclean and
Edwards were appointed as committee to take
the necessary steps to aid in the speedy nego-
tiation of all the bonds. A number of bills
were allowed, when the meeting adjourned. The
directors then visited the grounds and building,
and expressed themselves as we'll pleased with
the work.
