The scores made by the different regiments
engaged in the match are as follows:
IN THE DOG DAYS
Alcoholic Drinks Make Men Fit for
the Bull Pen.

When hizzoner got into the pulpit yester-
day he mopped his classical brow and glanced
furtively into the bull pen, where his eyes
encountered the gaze of twenty-five buns,
who no doubt wondered what was in store
for them. 1t was dreadfully sultry morn
ing, even for the dog days, and as the fat
and good looking bailiff hummed stanza
from the popular Sunday school ballad
'What Shall the Harvest Be?" the seeds in
the bull pen looked more melancholy, on the
theory, no doubt, that a song at a funeral,
particularly as it was their funeral, BODIED
them no good
There must be something in the hot aud
muggy character of the dog days conducive
to drink, for while there was notable alb
sence of serious crimes on the docket, the
hull pen was fairly jammed with poor human
ity who had fallen victims to the seductive
tanglefoot.
Lena Erickson, a faxen haired, rosy
checked damsel, was charged with the lar
ceny of SIS from her room mate. The
amount my masters, if you are on the make
and don't care how you get it, makes all the
difference in the world If you gobble a
dollar on the quiet yOu are liable to go over
for twenty years, but if you are running a
big business and fail the day after your wife
shows her 81, 500 solitaire diamonds to an
admiring circle, and settle with your cred
itors for twenty-five cents on the dollar it
may be all right, for this is the way of the
world. But little Lena was in luck this time,
for when her case was called, nobody ap-
peared against her and she was discharged.
The case of Nick Miller and Rosa Cressy
might have been funny if it had been heard
but it seems that this couple preferred not
to come into court and their bail of $50 was
confiscated.
Ed THEM was up on the charge of carry
ing concealed weapons. The true inward
ness of this case was also concealed from the
court and he was fined So and the sum was
forfeited. It is said that Der Of young
ruffians entered his house Sunday night and
insulted his wife and that he drew the gun
to protect her.
Mary Brown is as old as the hills and as
wrinkled as piece of rough tanned leather.
Yet she is soft spoken and down under the
rugged surface she has a warm heart beating
But she is poor and old and disapated and she
was up yesterday on the charge of vagrancy.
She went up for thirty days.
John Reilly and James Flynn, the two
snoozers who tried to clean out saloon at
seven corners, were fined ten bills each
Gus Anderson will probably have more
sense the next time he is called upon to aid an
officer. He is the man whom Officer Donlan
arrested on Rice street Sunday night because
he refused to assist the peeler to quell dis
turbance and arrest the four participants.
He was fined SIS
The case Of H. E. Forsyth, who was
charged with stealing a double barrelled,
breech loading thermometer, was dismissed
as he proved that the thing belonged to his
father.

A wealthy quaker from Philadelphia, who
has spent some time in the Missouri river
region, gives the Mandan Pioneer these i'm
pressiOns: II have implicit confidence in
the country. I believe it will be the old story
of Ohio over again. l we'll remember when
Ohio had reached the same formative stage
that Dakota has now reached. Then people
went west to Ohio. Young farmers with a
few thousand dollars went to Ohio to become
freeholders and grow up with the country.
All the territory north of the Ohio river, in
Guiding what is now Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota
was known as the northwest territory; and
all, save the southeastern corner was looked
upon as far away from civilization. What a
magic change it has undergone. l can
hardly, believe my own senses as | ride
through the grain fields of Dakota and see
the happy homes and prosperous farmers and
workshops of your people. Then, too, the
vigorous, healthful glow upon the counter
ances of your people is pleasure and de-
light. l hope thatyou will live to see land
believe that willy the town of Mandan de-
velop into second Chicago Chicago is now
in many respects away ahead of our good old
city of brotherly love, and the tendency of
big enterprises is westward. You have coal

ton the pool will be carried out so long as
seven roads remain loyal. There are alto
gether ten roads in the association, so that
the withdrawal of the above named two roads

Chicago Times, 18th: 1t was stated yes
terday by an official of one of the triparttte
lines that should the Northwestern persist in
its refusal to prevent diversion of its freight
to even up the pool balance, and refuse to
pay over on equivalent in money, suit would
be instituted for the amount that road is over
in the pool. He said that the Northwestern IS
claim that the non-consummation of the
seven-party supplemental pool relieved it
from all obligations to abide by the agree
ment was not tenable from the fact that,
until recently, the Northwestern had deliv-
cred the freight regularly according to the
provisions of the compact, thus admitting

The assessments of this Year.

The assessment of Dakota will not reach
the anticipated 500, 100000 this year. The
Bismarck Tribune says: All but three or
four counties have reported to the auditor
and the figures are now $40, 205, 900. Pro-
perty throughout the territory was assessed
upon much lower valuation this year than
last. If it had been the same the figures
would have been considerably over $780,
000,00 The astonishing development of
Dakota is shown by these figures In 1882
the total valuation was but SAT, 101, 479, and
in 1888, 500, 155, 900. 1t has nearly doubled
in wealth In two years.
The Tribune in speaking of the inequalities
of assessment says: For instance. down in
Minnehaha county horse is valued at only
1913. 65, while up il Benson county the
animal is valued at $50. 1t is a noticeable
fact that north of the 10Th parallel the as
SCISSORS seem to have understood the law bet
ter than those south of that line. In Mime
haha and Beadle counties a mule is consid-
cred worth but S25 to $50, while up in Penn
bina, where Jud LaMoure holds forth, this
valuable beast is put in at $40. In some
counties cattle are rated at IS to $12, while
in others they are valued at from $50 to $50
Sheep run from 65 cents to 81. 90. Griggs
county seem to be the one that appreciates
the wool bearing beast the most. The

ConmutatiOn Tickets.
LChicago Times, 1s.l


Some time ago passenger on the Chicago
and Northwestern was elected from train
under the following circum stances: Mrs. Z.
Bannerman handed the conductor, in pay
ment of her fare, a l 1000 mile Communication
ticket made out in the name of ''Mr. E.
Bannerman." The conductor declined to
take it, because it was not lady's ticket,
and demanded her fare. Upon her refusal
to pay she was elected from the train The
ticket had an agreement upon it that il
should not be transferred, nor be good I'M
less signed in ink by the person to whom il
was issued. The ticket was purchased by
the passengers husband withot telling the
agent that it was for lady. He simply gave
the name "E. Bannerman,' and the agent
prefxed the ''Mr.' The ticket was unsigned
when presented to the conductor. Mr. Ban
herman, who was with his wife on the train,
told the conductor that the ticket was bought
for her, and she then offered to sign it, but
the offer WAS refused Mrs. Bannerman
brought suit and recovered judgment, but
the Judgment was reversed by the appellate
court. The court held that the conductor
was justified by the name on the ticket in
assuming that 1t was not for lady, and that
he was not required to take the husbands
testimony to the contrary, the ticket being
the best and most conclusive evidence.

The editor Of the Wahpeton Gazette has
visited the lower terminus OF the Fargo
Southern, and says Of it: "Ortonville, the
present southern terminus Of the Fargo
Southern. is located at the foot Of Big Stone
lake, a beautiful body of water thirty-eight
miles long, and contains two banks, several
good hotels, three newspapers, numerous
stores, churches, etc. The town is located
on the western declivity of the bluff, just
such a location as many people consider very
pleasant. From the side OF this bluff flows
the water Of one Of the best springs in this
part of the state, and is Of untold value to
the citizens. The town contains many good
buildings, and with its present railroad and
steamb boat facilities and its wide awake citi-
zens ought to develops into one OF the most
attractive cities of the northwest.
