A larger number was in attendance at
the rink last Thursday night and there
was better music than at any time
before in Medora's history. Every one
attending was perfectly satisfied.
A dance was given at the residence of
Mr.. Graham in Mingusville by the Misses
Graham, last Monday evening. A very
pleasant time was had and Mingusyille
kept up her reputation as getter-up of
pleasant social gatherings.

The N. P. R. C. Co. expect by next year
to handle at least 500 cattle a day.
About half Of these will be shipped alive.
From figures furnished us by the
Marquis it appears that on this number
of cattle, over $250.OOO win be saved
] during the season by adopting The lake
route via Duluth to Buffalo and thence
to New York. :...s.3. ' e53 Y.
The st Paul Globe, with its usual cor.
RICHNESS, states that Theodore Roosevelt
passed through St. Paul lately on his
!; way to his ranch on the ElkhorH. For
1 the benefit Of the Globes thick-wittel
stock editor we would state that the
name Elkhorn applies to the brand on
the cattle and not to any river, creek,
eoElie; Iayine or butte in the Bad Lands.
The rink shooting contests have been
decided, A. T. Packard winning the one
offered to members Of the gun club and
Nose Ryder the one offered to those not
members. Packard's score averaged
ffty-tllree and three twentieths out of a
possible sixty and Ryder's averaged fifty
one. The range was seyenty-fye5 feet,
4 the bulls eye being an inch and half.
The best score was five straight bulls
eyes, made by Packard. 5:@ "a
The Marquis is enthusiastic over the
fact that the streak Of whitish clay
found about twenty feet above the larg-
est Ignite veins near here has turned
ont to be kaoline. This is the finest
kind of pottery clay, the most costly
ware being made from it. If it turns
ont as expected the Marquis will put up
largo works, which will draw more
money to Medora than the Strengthening
business. We certainly hope there will
1 be- no disappo continent in this new dis
4 eoyery.
gS The Medora branch of the Boston
clothing, boot and shoe store opened up
III good shane last Friday. Their goods
are Of frst-class quality and prices are
scarcely higher than those quoted in st
PauL The Co. now has branches at Day
ton, Ohio, Bismarck, Mandan and Medora,
OAK AMI Miles City, Billings and Glen
dive, Montana. They own d factory at
s631 Broadway N. y. and are thus able to
underseIl any firm in the west. The
establ ishment Of q branch here is gladly
welcomed and will be literally patron
Sized. The resident manager "A. ". Cor
don has already made d good impression
here and we see no reason why The store
should not do q large business. Is
Tho Willard Bros, after ceiling . few
horses here and allowing tile bunch to
recruit up started for tho Hills, where
themost Of the band has been contracted
Caps Fred and Ed Turner made many
friends here and II they Will quit rust

( We regret exceedingly though, that Cap.
should hare wasted SO much raw mater
I'M as to have picked such places to
pound holes IN the ground OF his buck
Ing caytise as can never be used even for
post holes. Fred said that he never was
M sorry for anything in his life as to see

Fred. Ne might add that Fisher intends
getting ont writ of habeass corpus to
