HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE.

The serial and short stories in HARPER's
YOUNG PEOPLE have all the dramatic interest
that juvenile fiction can possess, while they are
sensational. The humorous stories and pictures
are full of innocent fun, and the papers on nat
ural history and science, travel, and the facts
Of life, are by writer's whose names give the
best assurance Of accuracy and value. Illus
trated papers on athletic sports, games, and
Dastimes give full information on these sub
iects There is nothing cheap about it but its
price.

Choral and Orchestral Union,

AoA oh Ashu ShlOAs
The musical entertainment given by the
Choral and Orchestral Union at the Congrega-
tional church in Hope, OH Saturday evening
last, under the direction of Mr.. Fl. q. Thomasr
was unquestionably musical treat. Mr..
Thomas had thrown his whole soul into the
work of training the members of his company
and with what success is plainly shown by the
hearty applause given by the audience and by
the many expressions of praise we continually
hear, and by repeated calls for repetition of
Saturday evenings programme. There are
few, if any, Dakota towns that can boast of
such an array of musical talent as sour Hope''
Fosters and they would no doubt create a
spirit OF rivalry in the more cultivated portions
of the East. The soprano solo with flute obli-
gatu was particularly fine. The quartette,
profundo basso was naturally and we'll rem
dered, and 80 comique as to call forth applause
and merriment, and the audience called loudly
for its repetition, which was given. The other
selections were equally well rendered, and
certainly show The guidance Of a master Of the
profession,

The match game Of base ball between the
Tower City and Hope mines which was played
at Tower City on Tuesday, resulted in score
of 20 to 81 in favor Of the Tower City nine.
The game began soon after breakfast but had
to be postponed until afternoon OH account Of
the rain. Our boys played well and held their
antagonists well in hand until the sixth or
seventh inning, when our catcher receiving
slight injury, and the first baseman not being
in the best condition, our nine began to weak
en-. The Hope boys have reason to congratu-
late themselves on having done as well as they
did, considering they have had scarcely any
practice. The boys speak in high terms Of their
Tower City friends and the cordial reception
given them.

Public Meeting.

AT a meeting of the citizens of Hope held
on Wednesday, July 2, Mr.. Sidney A. Sea was
called to the chair and E. P. Wright was ap-
pointed secretary. Mr.. s. S. Small, of Minne-
apolis, read telegram from Manager Marvel,
OF the st. P, M. d NJ. railroad, in regard to
the present mail contract, and also stated the
substance Of conversation had with the off,
cers OF said company.
On motion committee consisting of w, p,
Miller, G. A. Renwick, and O. P. Miller was
appointed to draft resolutions embodying the
sense OF the meeting and report the same.
The following preamble snd resolutions were
presented by the committee and adopted:
WHEREAS, the people of Hope have been
credibly informed that the officials of the ST.
r, M d NJ. railroad have the impression that
the recent change made in the United States
mail service between Ripon and Hope, ID. T..
was directly or indirectly effected by them: and
Whereas, such impression does injustice to
the citizens OF Hope, the fact being that Pc
tltlon was circulated and signed by many cit
never been presented to the postofice depart
ment and which still remains in Hope, the
prayer OF which petition was as follows: 1--WE
respectfully request that you will inquire into
the expediency Of having said railway COM
nauy AuLu!en ub Win Qally mai C0mmuhica-
ton, or falling IN this, cause contract to be
made for carrying said mail by stage tri-
weekly on the off days between RiDcn and
Hope" (meaning by off days the days when
fore,
Resolved, That the citizens of Hope are not
in favor of depriving the railroad COMPANY of
tho mail service between Hope and Ripon, but
desire and are willing to cooperate with the
railroad company as far as they are able to,
recognizing the fact that we have common and
mutual interests
Resolced, That copy Of these resolutions be
sent to the general manager of the said rail
way company, and that he be requested to in
form the people of Hope, through D. P.
Baldwin, postmaster, of the mail facilities that

zens OF Hope, In return for the exertion of their
influence to secure a cancellation Of the present

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
1t. Will Be. Celebrated With En-
thusiasm by the People
of Hope.

To-day ushers in the anniversary of an event
which in its results has had more marked in
fuence than any other one event perhaps in
the history of the world. The author of the
declaration of independence never conceived
the widespread consequences that were to
flow from that act. Nor did the signers of
that instrument conceive that in so short a
time the territory which then comprised the
infant republic struggling for existence could
ever expand over the continent into the gi-
gantic republic that to day is covered by the
stars and stripes. 1t is right and proper that
the memory of the men who had the courage
to throw off the yoke which the mother coun-
try was trying to fasten upon the youthful
colonies should be kept green in the hearts of
the youth Of the nation, that their acts
may serve as incentives to stimulate the patri-
otism Of the young all over the land, and so
the anniversary which this day commentaries
will be celebrated in every hamlet and town
from the rock-bound coast of Maine to the
golden sands Of the Pacific, and from the
northernmost limit Of our own fair Dakota to
the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Here in
Hope we shall in no wise be behind our neigh
bors in proper observance of th. occasion,
and while our celebration may not partake so
much Of the noisy demonstrations in which
others may indulge, it will be none the less
sincere and patriotic.
We subjoin a programme of the days cele-
bration as prepared by the committee of ar
rangements:

telegraphs that journal as follows; "a con-
current resolution offered by Mr.. Maybpry, Of
Michigan, sliould in the opinion Of great
many members, pass this session. 1t directs

members that no further action will prpHaDlY
be taken with regard to il until the subject is
fully Investigated. It is understood that the

it without further deliberation."

A nice garden is undoubtedly one Of the
most desirable things to have on farm, as it
not only supplies the family with an abundance
Of fresh vegetables, but can also be made a
thing Of beauty as we'll. We know Of no per-
son in this section who takes more prido in
having garden what it should be than does
our friend Mr.. D. J. Adams, father Of Mrs. D..
P. Baldwin, who resides OIL the farm Of Mr..
Baldwin. Here may be found nearly every
vegetable grown in the east, all growing lux
uriantly. Among other things we noticed
some fine rhubarb and tomatoes. Mr.. Adams
deserves great credit for tho amount of labor
and pains lie has bestowed on his garden.

Monday morning brought a fne rain which
lasted for nearly two hours, and was followed
on Tuesday by a succession Of fine showers
at intervals during the entire day. The rain
came just when needed by the growing crops,
serving not only to refresh and reinvigorate
them, but also to greatly moderate the temper
ature, which for several days previous had
been high up in the nneties, and was begin
ming to show its effects OH the grain. Yester-
day morning was quite cool, and very favor
able for the crop.

Letter from Mr. Nj, Cavanaugh.

We devote considerable space in this issue OF
the PIONEER to the reproduction of letter
written to the editor Of the Iowa State Press
by MIR. NJ. Cavanaugh. The writer is we'll
known in our community as gentleman of
very conservative views and one whose state
ments may be implicitly relied on. He is
deeply interested in everything that affects the
welfare and development of this part of Da-
kota, and has been closely identified with the
wheat-growing interest for the last three years,
having been one of the first to purchase land
in this neighborhood when the country was
first opened, and has therefore had an excel
lent opportunity to become thoroughly posted
on the subject whereof he writes. We be-
speak for his article careful perusal, and re-
commend that it be sent to friends in the East
who may lie interested in Dakota We are in
debted to our friend Mr.. Westcott for copy Of
the paper containing the original. '

In an article on the above subject the North
Dakota Inter Ocean makes the following state
ment, every word Of which we can indorse:
Another advantage here is the rapidity with
which crops grow and ripen. Wheat sown
six weeks ago'is now heading out and is fr6m
20 to 2S inches high. Some Of our Eastern
friends will say this is Dakota fabrication;
nevertheless it is true; Wheat has been sown,
harvested, threshed and put in the elevator IN
North Dakota within the brief space Of S. days.
This rapid growth is due chiefly to the light of
our long days. At this season Of the year the
nights are less than five hoHrs long. A news:
paper can now be read without artificial light
as late as 10 o'clock in the evening, and day
light can easily be seen as early as O'Clock in
the morning. With all these favorable COM
binations, peculiar alone to North Dakota, is it
any wonder that CUR Territory to-day stands at
the head Of the list In the matter Of small grain,
hne natural meadows and prize vegetables?

The New York Times says: The in
dependent Republican leaders are
much gratifed over the result of the
nomination. Gen. Barlow, chail man
of the New York conference, said last
night that steps would be at once taken
to put the organization again in work

issue letters inviting members of the
Massachusetts,, Connecticut and New
Jersey auxiliaries to a meeting to be
held here, probably within ten days, at
which circular will doubtless be au-
thorized endorsing the Democratic
ticket. The scope Of the movement
may be widened to take in other forms
of dissatisfied persons than the primary
moving cause, but this is matter to
be arranged later on. Central head

How the Nominations We're Received in
Roseburg.

The nomination Of Cleveland and
Hendricks was received at this place
with warmest enthusiasm by Democrats
and independen4 Republicans, and by
the Blaine managers with gloom and
forebodings. The Saturday night after
the nomination one hundred salutes
were fired and grand ratification
meeting held at the court house. The
meeting was called to order by J. w.
Hamilton, chairman of the Democratic
County Central Committee, and
speeches made By Messrs. J ones, Owens,
Lane, Ball and Floed. The meeting
was the largest and most enthusiastic
political gathering that has been held
here for many years. A feeling of
general rejoicing pervades the entire
community, and hops that Republi-
can misrule that has imposed such
burdens upon the people is soon to be
done away with, and that the nation is
about to enter upon a new era of
reformation in economy and CONNER
cial prosperity.
