has a field of oats which was put in
the ground the sixth day of June,
that is now over four feet in height
and promises q very large yield.
When harvest came OH it found
Alex. Morton, of South Heart with
out a reaper, but lie had good mow-
ing machine and he soon had it con-
verted into a good reaper and dropper
of his own invention and manufac-
ture.
The Episcopal Aid Society held a
very pleasant social at the residence
Of MI. and Mrs. N. G. Lawrence on
Wednesday evening the 9th and will
hold another at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. B. +. Fowler on Wednes-
day evening Of next week to which
all are invited.
A. B. Agno, of Sturgis City, was
here Monday looking up the pros
poets for putting on a stage line be-
tween here and the Black Hills. We
believe a stage line would pay and
be of some benefit to Dickinson, but
do not know what decision Mr.. A gno
came to-.
The Ohio Experimental Farm
which is conducted in connection
with the Ohio State University, will
send to the Worlds exposition large
exhibit of the results of it's work. a
single item of which embraces l00
varieties of wheat to be shown i'm
grain and in the straw.
The evil consequences resulting
from impure blood are beyond human
calculation, so are the vast sums eX-
pended in worthless remedies. Par
sons Purgative Pills make new. rich
blood. and taken one a night for three
months will change the blood in the
entire system.
Two hand cars were run into by.a
stock train on last Tuesday evening
about four miles east of here. The
men on the hand cars were coming
from work and just had time to jump
before the engine struck the cars.
Several of the men were bruised up
considerably, but none fatally. j. D..
Cunningham had his shoulder dislo-
Gated, John Towle received IL severe
scalp wound, John Walsh, L. S. Byrne
| Marbel Baxter and one other man re-
ceive,l a few bruises and cuts. The
men were taken on board the stock
train and brought here.
An order has been issued prohibit
ing persons here from selling buffalo
horns Oh the platform at the depot,
to passengers on the trains. 1t looks
as though this was done in the inter
ests of a certain Mandan dealer who
now has monopoly of the business,
and we understand that brakemen
are now selling horns on the trains
which come from the Mandan man.
If the order was issued for the pur-
pose of putting the business in the
hands of q friend it is certainly a
small piece of business and should be
beneath the dignity of a railroad
official.
Ex President Billings came in from
the east on last Sundays train and
stopped over in Dickinson until Men
day morning when he left for the
west by special train. N. G. Law
renee, the company's land agent:
showed Mr. Billings over the fields Of
golden grain surrounding the town
and he was more than pleased at their
appearance and also the growth and
| improvement of Dickinson since his
visit last year. 1t was through the
efforts of MI. Billings, when he was
president of the Northern Pacific,
that the extension of the road from
Bismarck west was commenced. AT
that time a vast wilderness was
spread out before him, but he could
see the grand future of this vast
agricultural and mining region, and
worked hard for it's development.
He will always be a welcome visitor
to this part Of the country.
The social event of this week was
the marriage of MI. Walter II. Rich
ards to Della. the eStimable daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Rau. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.

parents, on Tuesday evening at 9

licious refreshments and enjoyed

Dickinson most accomplished young
ladies and the groom one of our pop
ular young men who by his integrity
and business capacity has worked
