McHenry county was formally organized
this month and full set of officers ap-
pointed.
The Democratic paper at Valley City is
nice, handsome looking sheet, and worthy
of support.
II. P. Rachor, on the Goose river, is proud
of shooting six geese at two shots. Game is
plenty in that region.
The Dispatch in SPHINX county says many of
the farmers in that comfy raised their own
tobacco this year
Major Fleming, who is gathering for the
New Orleans exposition, has shown US
turnlp that weighs twenty-three pounds and
measures forty-tive inches in circumference.
It's Dakota turnip.
A man in Waterbury the other day laid
down his coat and an inquisitive bovine
nosed out wallet containing $165 and
swallowed the wallet and green backs. Rather
an extravaganza meal.
The store OF r. P. Jennings, of Kibby, was
burned with the entire stock of goods and
the personal and household effects of the
family, who lived in the upper story, few
days since; also a stable or two.
The colored barber of Fargo who is max
ing the race for county Office against Mr..
Hubbard, the banker, has reduced the tariff
on shaving to half price to all who will vote
for him. The interest of the contest largely
centers in this race.
The Pioneer of Larimore in the north gives
reports of threshi ng in thatregion, none OF
which 90 below twenty-five bushels and
mostly about thirty-three. They can stand
moderate prices, but the present figures are
not encouraging anywhere.
In some sections the sun1ower of the
mammoth Russian variety, is raised for fuel.
One man says that he has grown an acre or
more in hills like corn and has excellent
fuel for one stove for the entire year. He
says it makes a warmer fire than hard coal,
and he prefers it.
In his lecture at jamestown Rev. Joseph
Cook expressed the opinion that the No. l
hard belt could support 100, 600, 900 people,
and that this northwest would before long
contain over $4,000, 900, but he failed to tell
when fifty cent wheat would be 10 more
and the farmers reveling in 81 bushel
The Mandan Pioneer says: A man who
came in from Eagles Nest yesterday re-
marked that on his way he saw hundreds of
deer and antelope that were frightened out
Of their haunts by the prairie fires. They
seemed to be entirely overcome by fright,
and the few hunters who were on the ground
were picking them off in large numbers.
There is a great deal Of interest felt in
Fargo in the case of young Magill who shot
the blacksmith at Menoken, as he had re-
sided in Fargo and was one of the most
prominent society young men. He has nu-
merous freuGs here who hope no criminality
will attach to him, but it is the impression
that his hot blood got the better of his judg
ment and that he was rash in shooting when
he might have avoided it.
The Bad Lands Corr Boy says of the fire
now in progress in that country: The burn
ing coal mine in the butte east Of Medora is
already a dangerous rival to the famous
burning mine southwest of here. In the
night the flames light up the whole butte,
and it is q sight we'll worth seeing. After
q look at it one is forced to admit that the
description of the Bad Lands Choking
ike HI with the fire put out - is rathcr N
adequate.
The city editor Of the Bismarck Tribune,
who lisps in numbers like youthful Byron
and indites the tenderest of ballads to the
young ladies, is indignant at the imputstion
that the prevalent bachelorhood of the place
is due to lack Of fascination among the
softer persuasion. There are types of beauty
there worthy of Domains album, and it is no
credit to the young men that they are forced
to rely upon ''the cooling balm of the
chinook to spread kisses upon their fevered
cheeks
Last week Gov. Pierce and company of
friends took trip down the river to Fort
Yates, where 100 braves AID 200 squaws
danced for them, and a handsome rece ption
was given by the officers. The Tribune re-
lates that on the return Sunday a preacher
held divine service in the morning, and
after dinner the genial governor acted as
toast master while various parties responded
and singing and playing and merry making
flied q delightful day. The oldest and most
truthful settler was made to relate that the
fayorite recreation on steamers in earlier
times was shooting Indians and the buffalos
crowded into the river SO thick that the deck
hands bad to pull them on board to secure
passage through them.
