The dedication services of the new Baptist
church at jamestown are in progress this
week to close Sunday night.

Another meeting was held at Helena Mon
day night to hear reports and put the Hell
ena d Benton railroad in process of erection.
1t is believed that it will be built at an early
| day.
At the NJ. E. church at Helena at one ses-
sion recently fifty persons protested CONVEX
sion, and most of them were received on
probation last Sunday. The meetings still
| continue.
The stockmen in Choteau county are ex-
cited and propose to make it hot for cattle

offer $500 reward for the conviction OF the
parties who killed Bill Jones.

The Helena Herald says that number of
conductors on the Yellowstone and Montana
division of the Northern Pacific have re-
ceived the g. b., on the allegation that they
did not fairly divide traffic receipts with the
| company.
| The report that the Chicago & Rock Island

ties.
There is an intensely bitter controversy in
progress between the two dailies at James
town as to their respective value as moral
and religious luminaries. There are appre-
| tensions among their friends that more than
| fiery words will cnsue, although the editors
OF both are genial and good personally and
would 90 around rattlesnake in the path.
The Bismarck people evidently are not
familiar with Senator Logan's chirography
| judging from this in the Tribune: Senator
John A. Logan, although busy man just
now, finds time to write an autograph letter
to Bismarck friend that he would cheer
fully support the Strait bill reducing govern
ment land to S1.25 per acre. 1t should pro-
badly be stated that the letter was received
| by telegraph.
The picture of the capitol given in the il
lustrated edition of the Bismarck Tribune will
surprise most people. 1t represents struc-
ture that, as public buildings are generally
erected, would be set down as a million dol
lar house. On paper at least, it compares
favorably with most of the state houses in the
states, and it is hardly credible that it can be
completed for 100000.
Recently w. j. Mccormick, of Helena,
sent to Illinois for few dozen live quail,
which he proposes to turn loose in the Bitter
Root region in the spring. He is of the opin-
ion that the birds will thrive as well there as
in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa or Minnesota,
and proposes to make the experiment of
transplanting them in the mountains. Some
think that the lack of underbrush will pre-
vent their being made success there.
The Republican raises high the standard of
Col. G. A. Morton for mayor, the great real
estate rustler who has made fortune out of
Dakota dirt in the last few years. He is an
incorrigible Democrat, but politics will have
nothing to do with this matter. He is enter
prising and progressive, but prudent and
careful, and the city will be fortunate if his
services can be secured for its chief execu-
tive. He sits down on wild cat schemes and
does not fly balloons.
Billings Post: The men who went to re-
cover and articles they might find at the
scene of the fight with the Indians, returned
with saddle belong to Phillip Sidle, and
| revolvers, blankets, ETC., belong to the other
| members of the party. The Indian killed
was brought in also to be used by the medi-
cal gentlemen in the study of science. Claims
have been presented to the government,
through Agent Armstrong, for the horses
| killed in the fight.
| At the Presbyterian church in Jamestown
Sunday, the pastor, Rev. Tanning, at the
close of an able discourse, suggested that
there was 81, 800 of debt embarrassing the
society, and taking the hint the deacons
went about the audience and collected nearly
$1,000 in a few moments. This shows
either that the discourse had marvellous po-
tency in unloosening the pockets or that
| times are easier there than in most localities
Both suggestions are bottomed upon much
| truth.
The Bismarck Tribune says Judge Bowen
who returned on Saturday from trip to
Montana, expresses fears of remarkable
high stage of water when the break up
occurs. He states that the report that the ice
had gone out of the Yellowstone is only par
TALLY true. The river is open at Glendive
! of tha b,,tf
miles distant there is solid ice gorge, and
plenty of ice and snow yet remain to melt.
The Big Horn river is also not yet open, and
at Livingstone the snow is six inches deep on
level
Valley City Times: A rather curious birth
occurred at Oriska last Sunday, or rather
Sunday and Monday. On Sunday at O'Clock
p. IN. Mrs. G. B. Pease presented her hus-
band with daughter. The worthy man was
greatly disappointed, as he had buiIied his
hopes on the advent of boy. However, the
worthy woman was enabled to see the hopes
of her husband realized. At2 o'clock Nom
day morning she gave birth to another child
"a finely formed boy. Although twins the
youngsters birthdays are on different dates
March and 10.
The frequency with which engines have
been derailed or attempts made to wreck
trains at points on the Northern Pacific forty
to fifty miles east of Fargo recently convinces
the railroad people that there is a gang in
| that section bent on mischief. There are
various suggestions as to the cause of the
attempts but no definite facts are known. A
Norwegian was killed by the railroad in that
section last season and some bad blood grew
out of it, and other matters are suggested as
possible basis for the malicious acts. No
