"Jerry the Bum" appeared after a
protracted absence, on our streets
again yesterday, clothed principally
in the regulation Blaine hat. The
frequent meeting of old friends
caused him to enthuse violently,
which so exhausted his powers of ell
durance that he was taken to the
cooler by officer Carr about high
noon and given time to take gentle
rest.-Mandan Pioneer, Tuesday.
We understand that negotiations
are pending between parties who had
horses stolen from here last fall and
the thieves, for the return of the
horses in consideration of sum of
money to be paid the thieves and
nothing done to them. While per-
sons may justly be anxious to get
their horses back, at the Same time
they are simply offering premium
to horse thieves to continue in their
nefarious work and abetting them in
the same,
The Taylor correspondent in the
Mandan Pioneer says: The postmas-
ter last week received a letter from
a man in Tacoma, Washington terri
tory, asking for information about
this part of Stark county, with the
view of locating here. The writer
says it is not possible to make a home
out there and that several families
contemplate moving from there to
other places next fall and that other
families from Minnesota will meet
them here. Doubtless many man
finds when he has reached the west
ern coast that the country does not
come up to the fair fields of North
Dakota and hence will sooner OF later
return to our fertile soil. Going
from Washington territory to Dakota
to locate is one Of the probabilities of
of the near future. AS the emigrant
cars pass through here in day time
the people have a good chance to see
our rich grain fields.
Congress has voted 100000 in Or
der to make fine display of the gov
ernment exhibits at the Worlds Ex-
position next winter. Some of the
departments had only rudimentary
collection at the time of the Centen-
nial at Philadelphia. These col
lections have been increased tenfold
since then, and will be opened at
New Orleans in fine order. The
United States Geological Survey will
furnish a fine exhibit of minerals,
ores and rocks from all the states and
territories. 1t has collection of
interesting fossil animals, and fossils
exhibiting the characteristics of ami
mails and plants now extinct. 1t has
models of extinct volcanoes, the
Grand Canon of the Colorado. Yo.
semitic valley and the National Park.
1t has plans of the Comstock and
other great mines of the country.
To describe the specimens represent
ing the life of former ages, fishes,
reptiles, gigantic quadrupeds, now
extinct, shell fish that have lived in
ancient geological periods, would re-
quire large volume.
Oh! Little woodland flower
All hidden from our loving sight.
Petite fleur lis DIES bois,
Toujours cache-e.
These words are from nice little
song, which may be sung in French
or English. Learners of French will
remember that, in singing, it is quite
common to make a three.syllable
word out of one of two syllables, as
one sees in cache-e.
