number of the talented society young
men at Mandan are preparing TO give series
of burnt cork entertainments at the towns

If the st. Paul Pioneer Press valued its letters
and kilograms from Grand Forks and Fargo

The United States law limits the time of
the sessions of territorial legislatures to forty
days, but it is held that they may sit longer

forty days, and will probably sit double that
time. Bismarck is confident it has right
10 do so.

pride. There is no allusion to his thought
less speech at Bismarck supporting Blaine
when he supposed the latter was to be
elected. 1t is very clever way of securing
attention to the course of the paper under
his administration.
