In some of the northern sections, buffalo
bones are still found and gathered. At SO a
ton they pay better than wheat at fifty cents
a bushel.
County Judge Emmett N. Parker, of Steele,
has gone to Iowa City, Ia, to be married on
the 22d. An ovation will be given him on
his return.
Rev. F. NJ. Wood, superintendent of Pres
byterian missions is now in Dunseith trying
to organize church as there is none there.
Very crooked material, religiously, will have
TO be worked into the structure.
At Miller two men last week fell head
down to the bottom of well forty-seven feet
deep, containing one foot of water, without
dangerously iniuring them. 1t is regarded
as remarkable that they were not kille d.
AT Dell Rapids a number of young men
have formed a secret society pledged not to
marry for five years except by the unanimous
vote of the order. 1t is predicted that the
unanimous vote will be called for several
times.
The big haul of 10 cars of wheat that came
in to Fargo Tuesday night, pulled by one en-
CINE, was for the benefit of the stockholders
and the public. 1t is not regular thing,
but it made train about two-thirds of a
mile long.
Among the attractions to be sent to New
Orleans from north Dakota are full size
photographs of some of the early settlers
with statement of their weight when they
came to Dakota and at present. 1t is found
that many of them have increased from %
to as per cent in weight. One or two now
will tip $50 pounds.
Gov. Pierce denies the statement of Dele
gate Raymond or his friends, that he came
over to Fargo recently to hold private con-
ference with the delegate. Some of these
gentlemen insisted that they had seen and
talked with the governor, but as the latter
states positively that he was not here the al
legged interviewers either were imposed upon
or are wilful deserters of the truth.
The Sioux Falls Press says of the photo
graph scheme: The idea of photographing
Dakota for the New Orleans Worlds exposi-
ton is a snpurb scheme, and is taking
strongly with everybody. Of course it is very
desirable that Dakota should be re presented
by large display of products of her soil and
mines, but a better comprehension can be
gained of the territory from full collection
of photographs than by anything else.
This case reported by the Hand Press is
not an uncommon one: There has been
excitement the past week over case of claim
jumping in 1899 H. TT Taylor. a worthy
young man, paid $500 for REIMBURSEMENT to
the same last year. There was sixty-four
acres broken on the claim at the time and a
house partly built. Taylor finished the house
at cost of $40, broke ten acres more and
planted the same in beans by hand. He has
lived on the land contin uously except as he
had TO be absent to make his living. VIM
Somers has placed homestead filing on the
same land and protested Taylor's proof.
The Volga Tribune relates this of the Sec
ton where the small pox has been so preva-
lent: A terrible story comes from the town
of Argo to the effect that several days ago a
family in that town had q child die of that
dreaded disease, small pox, and fearing that
if it were made known the threshers would
refuse to do their threshing, they concealed
the body of the child in the cellar and kept it
there five days. The threshers came, boarded
in the house while they were doing the work
and now the entire crew are sick with the
disease. On Monday evening it is stated the
father of the child went to Brookings to see q
doctor, and it being discovered that he had
the small pox he was sent to the pest house,
and is now confined there
