Dunseith Times.
We have it from reliable authority that
many of the g~uide-boalds which were
put up along the Minnewaukan trail by
the merchants of that city, have been
carried off or destroyed. Wonder in
whose interest that was done, and who
did it?
M~innewaukan Siftings.
That has been several times reported
in this community, and it is now in Or
der to raise funds and start out an invest
igating committee and ascertain the
facts IN the case, and, if true, to learn
who the guilty party or parties are if
possible. 1t is an insult to Minnewau-
kan and a dastardly outrage on the set
tiers northwest of here that should be re-
sented. The citizens of Minnewaukan
went down in their pockets literally to
equip this trail, and the sign-boards were
well made, painted and lettered with the
advertisements of our business men, and
we have every reason to believe the CON-
mittee did its work well in placing them
1t was a good thing for the town and the
settlers: and somebody evidently knew
it. The matter should be promptly in
vsstigated. Let no guilty man escape.

Rise IN Bones.

Our bone merchants have come to the
conclusion that the half breeds have
good staying qualities, and are now
offering 80 per ton for the phosphate
remains of the buffalo. Bartlett has
had nearly all the bone trade for the
last three weeks, but it will probably
revive here again when such a good
price is offered.

Death of Cyrus S. Collins.
from Saturdays Daily Inter-Ocean.l

At an early hour this morning the
sad intelligence went forth that G. S.
Collins, who received serious injuries
July 4th by being run over by the hose
cart, was dead. Although his case was
a serious one, yet there was a chance
for his recovery, and his many friends
were unprepared to believe that he was
SO near his earthly end. The deceased
was born in Oswego, N. Y, in 1S47, and
was 3S years of age. Relatives and
friends have been telegraphed. Unless
otherwise ordered by re latives, the body
will be buried here. Preparations for
the funeral are being made by the fire
department.. The flag is at half mast
over the engine house and the machin-
cry and building are draped with mourn
ing. 1t is proposed to use the hook and
ladder truck for a hearse, the engine
company preceding and the hose COM
pany following the remains. The body
will lie in state at the engine house, at
which place the funeral services will be
held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
1t is said the deceased has a paid up
policy in the New York Life Insurance
company.
From Mondays Daily Inter.ocean)
The funeral of Cyrus S. Collins yester-
day afforded a remarkable illustration
of the character of the western people.
The deceased had no relatives here, and
no warmer friends than he had made in
a two years. residence among US. He
belonged to no church or order, so far
as a be ascertained; and yet two min
listers were at his grave, there was a
special choir, three brass bands pre-
ceeded the unique hearse, while the
casket was covered with flowers. The
deceased being a volunteer member of
our fire department, he was buried with
the customary departmental honors.
The flag was placed at half mast over
the engine house, and the fire appa-
ratus was trimmed with fabrics of
mourning. The Sank Center and Fer
gus Falls bands being in the city on an
excursion volunteered to lead the pro-
cession, several members of these bands
having known the deceased when he
was travelling in the hardware business.
Then came our home band, followed by
the engine company drawing their ma,
chine. The hook and ladder truck
came next bearing the remains, fol.
lowed by the hose company, of which
the deceased was a volunteer member.
A long line of citizens in carriages and
on foot followed. The remains were
buried near the little grove southwest
of the city.
Late last evening a telegram was re-
ceived from relatives of the deceased to
have the remains shipped to Oswego, N.
Y, and the body. was disinterred and
shipped thence this morning. The fire
department request the INTER-OcEAN
to express their thanks to the Sank
Center and Fergus Falls bands and all
others who took part in the obsequies.

SOMEBODY saw a swarm of locusts, OF
grasshoppers, or something nea Fl. Blu.
ford on the Missouri river 800 miles west
of here, and the report was Immediately
sent out that North Dakota was being
literally "chewed up" by the Kansas
pest. The Minneapolis journal has this
to say on the subject:
Occasion for any great alarm in the APP
pearanceof a few scattering detachments
of locusts in the country about Fl. Blu.
ford seems wholly lacking. The meage1
details that have come to hand do not
of course afford sufficient basis for a final
decision on the extent or character of
the raid, but enough at least is known
to remove apprehension of any serious
results of the visitation. The locust OF
the variety that has made its appearance
on this continent this year is far from
possessing the omnivorous appetite Of
the more active g%rasshopper that fell up.
on Kansas like an Egyptian plague flew
years ago. While the grasshoppers de.
nudes the country in which it alights Of
every visible blade and leaf of grass and
foliage, the locust eats but little and has
no long periods of rests in one place
The swarms in the Fl. Buford vicinity
are further reported as moving in small
and widely separated clouds along the
international boundary line, including
belt of country in the northern part q
Montana and northwestern Dakota. The
tendency of their movement seems to be
in a northeasterly direction, in which
they are. assisted by the steady winds
blowing from the southwest at this season
of the year. There is every likelihood
that their path will lead them far north
ofthe wheat fields of Dakota and Mime.
sofa to end their brief existence in the
Canadian wilderness. THIS direction OF
their course, and the fact that no ser.
ious damage is yet reported from the in
vasion. is certainly reassuring to those
who fear the destruction of the growing
CrODS.

More of Pinney.

Speaking of Pinney, who was arrested
in this city recently for obtaining money
under false p~retenses, the Siftings has a
new Ease against him as follows: Mr..
Plnney was in Minnewaukan recently,
and made a draft on his company for
$25 through the Bank of Minnewaukan,
claiming that his company owed him.
Timothy Mahany Endorsed the draft for
him, and Mr.. Pinney received the
money. The draft was forwarded to the
First National bank of Chamberlain, and
came back protested. The protest fees
are IS and some cents, making a total tc
pay of over s2s. This is rough on Mr.
Mahany, who will probably have it tc
nav.

HARVESTER And BINDER

WALKERS IMPLEMENT DEPOT,
Can harm no one, while a few days de-
lay in harvest works i%ncalculable injury.
The same logic applies to the Irvine pur-
chase. The Deering(or Marsh)was the first
harvester made, the first company to use
the Appleby binder, the first to discard
the plunger-bolt knotter. Makesthe LIGHT

1854 made and sold more complete bind
ers than any other company ever made

best mixed Irvine as low as can be sold
and can furnish a good Irvine at l5c per

friends are requested to call and exam

An Opera Glass.

The power of opera glasses is from
two and half to five times that of the
average eye. That is to say, if you aIe
forty feet away from the stage, an ope-
ra glass will put you OH the same foot
ing with those who are from eight to
sixteen feet away. There ale several
simple tests of the power of the opera
glass. The most convenient one, per-
haps, is to pin card on the wall and
to look through the right barrel of the
glass with your left eye. The differ
ence between the actual distance rs
measured by your right eye and the APP
parent distance as measured through
the glass, will represent the difference
betNe cen your eyes and the glasses. OF
course this is only an estimate, but Il
fairly accurate and sufficient one can
be made. The field glasses which many
people bring TO the theatres range in
power from six to nine times hat of the
eye.

Two Washington Women.

A Washington correspondent says:
/ noticed an instance of Washington
snobbishness the other night in one of
the leading groceries of the Capital
which we'll illustrates the character of
one class of our high toned court soci-
ETY.. I was waiting to buy some lit
tie things and very pretty and mod
est lady was standing at the counter
watching the clerk do up some packa
ges for her. Another lady, the wife
of an old Washingtonian, was also
waiting, as I was, when Mrs. General
-, leader of the capital, and one
of the newest of the "nouveau richie"
came strutting in, dressed in velvet
and sealskin. She was a tall, angular
women, with nose which seemed to
turn up at ateverybody and everything.
She had an eyeglass attached to a
long handle in her right hand, and
this she presented in front other right
eye and began looking superciliously
around the store.
All the clerks were as busy as they
could be. But with the most arrogant
air she turned to the one above spok-
en- of, and said:
"Do you not see, sir, that am wait
ing 7"
The clerk dropped the bundles he
had and rushed over to her. She then
pointed with o majestic air to a lot of
tomatoes marked twelve cents a can.
She said
4 will take one of those cans Of to-
matoes you may carry it out to my
carriage and with that she swept out
of the store in the same regal way in
which she had entered. AS she did so
noticed smile of contempt on the
countenance of tie old Washington
ian. who had the blood of some of the
most noted families in the country in
her veins. She quietly waited until
her time came to be served, and TAX
ing her purchase, which amounted to
many times that OF the snob who had
pushed into her place, in her arms, she
said, I thank you, but | can carry
these out myself She took the bun
dies in her arms, and going to the
door, stepped into dnercarriage than
that of the fema lie snob and was driv-
en- quietly away. 1t is no wonder
that some of the old Washington la
dies object to the rude ways of those
who in part compose our great court
circles.
