in all respects wholesome and beyond crit
sicism. The TRIBUNE does not blame the
ladies' who left the hall during the per-
fOrmance of the painting the Town Redn
combination. Neither does it blame the
company. The name drew what may be
termed ho0-doo audience, and no lady
could feel at ease in their midst. The per-
formance was free from vulgarity, and as
previously stated, from a musical stand
point it was good. The company
went to Mandan Saturday evening
and appeared before an audience of the
most reputable citizens of that place. At
the close of the performance the citizens
insisted on a repetition, guaranting the
sale of every seat, and their demand will
be gratified. After appearing the second
time in Mandan Mr. Sargent will bring Ithe
company before the Bismarck public again
reorganized and under a more appropriate
name. The style of the entertainment will
be changed, adding very materially to its
musical merit. The company will remain
in Bismarck until the arrangements for a
new departure are completed.

BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, oCT 9. 1885

Stanley was dancing in dress which was
SO long that it required a desperate effort
to expose her ankle. But the words paint
in the Town Red were ringing in the ears
of the ladies, and every time the actress
raised her toe they shuddered. When Miss
Stanley skipped across! the stage with a
lively whisk of her generous train, they
thought their time had come and the town
was about to be painted, and after the lead
was taken by q few, the entire representa-
ton of the gentler sex left the hall,
much to the embarrassment of those
on the stage and the chagrin of the remain
ing auditors. From musical standpoint
the entertainment is one of the best ever
given in the city, the rendition of the
miserere scene from II Trovatore being far
superior to that given by many of the So
called first class opera companies of the
country. Mr.. Frank P. Baird is a comedian
of good talent and ability, and Harry Gates
has tenor voice rich, deep and mefodious.
The entertainment was far above the aver
age, and the company deserved much bet
ter treatment than it received at the hands
of the audience. There is not loud or
vulgar scene in the play, and it is to be
hoped that Mr. Sargent will change the
name OF the comedy and proceed to succeed
with that rapidity which his merit de-
serves, ... H.

Killed by a Runaway.

w. W. Hubbel, who resided one and one
half miles east of Sterling, was killed Satur-
day forenoon by being struck by plow
to which a runaway team was attached.
Mr.. Hubbel was about to begin his fall
plowing, and had hitched his tean4 to the
plow. Before starting for the field he de-
cided to chop some wood, leaving his team
standing nearby. The animals became
frightened at some fitting chip or piece of
paper, and dashed forward, dragging the
plow after them. In attempting to stop the
frantic horses, Mr.. Hubbel came before
them and was Knocked down, trampled
upon and struck in the breast by the point
of the plow. Death was almost instant.
Mr.. Hnbbel was a well-to- do farmer, was 40
years of age and leaves wife to mourn.
He was one Of the most prominent citizens
of his neighborhood, having been elected
to place on the school board. and given
other positions Of responsibility and trust.
Mrs. Hubbel is comfortably provided for,
and there are no children to suffer.

1t is Not Settled.

The statement that the muffied internal
war which has been raging within the Bis
marck land Office for several months, has
been closed by an amicable settlement, does
not jibe with the facts. And by the way,
in this little germ of news, which has been
= lying dormant for some time, is an item
which will be read with interest by the peo-
pie Of Bismarck, who are acquainted with
all the parties concerned. 1t is an amusing
fact that for the past three months three
clerks have been at work in the land Office,
and neither of them has been able to draw
pay during that time. This state of
affairs arises from dispute between the
authorities of the Office, as to who the two
clerks to which the Office is entitled are to
be. For many months Mr.. S. T. Bennett
has been employed by Receiver Gilmour,
while Register Rea has employed Louis
Scheiman. Under the old regime, and
while these were the only clerks, every
thing about the land Office was as
pleasant and harmonious as a
family of doves. The Office is entitled to
two clerks, and only two. Mr.. Bennett is
still employed by Receiver Gilmour and
Register Rea has added one to the number
of his clerks, employing Mr.. Jackson. Rea
refuses to dismiss either Of his clerks, and
Mr. Gilmour feels that he is entitled to at
least one of the clerical employees, and re-
fuses to dismiss Mr.. Bennett. And here
the contest stands. The exact cause of the
breach is among'the unknown, but there are
various reasons given. While Mr.. Bennett
has had no trouble with Mr.. Rea, he seems
to be unpopular in the re:,ister's estima-
ton, while he is very popular with his en-
ployer, Mr.. Gilmour, and the public. OF
course the details and management of a
public office are to certain extent beyond
the criticism Of the press, but it seems as
though the very slightest courtesy would
permit Mr.. Gilmour to select one of the two
clerks allowed by the department.
A report has gained currency to
the effect that the reason Mr.. Rea clings
SO tenaciousiy to his new clerk, Mr.. Jack
son, is because he is a democrat and claims
to have influence which will retain the in
dustriOus register in the Office. While this
is assigned by many as the reason for the
determination with which Mr.. Rea refuses
to consent to Mr.. Gilmour naming one of
the clerks, it hardly seems possible that
Mr.. Rea would be SO easily drawn from the
path of justice. And so the war goes on.
The bright undaunted clerks all hold the
fort, without drawing their salaries, and
each is patiently awaiting for the sweet
bye and bye. -. ~r-

A FAMOUS PETITION.

How tho Salvation Army stormed tho
House of Commons.
[Pan Mall Budgetl
The monster petition of the Salvation
Army in favor of raising the age of protec-
tion for girls. conveyed recently from the
congress hall at Clapton to Westminster,
was about four or five feet in diameter, and
was placed on q wagon drawn by four
horses accompanied by the band and a
special detachment-the Life Guards-of
the Salvation Army, wearing white helmets
Several mounted guards were in the van
and rear Of the procession. On each gable
Of the covering for the wagon were the
words: "In the name of God and the people,
and the Queen Mother and the nation, the
Salvation Army demands that this iniquity
shall cease" On the sides appeared the
word. "salvation Army petition for the
protection Of young girls" and notifca-
tinn that the monster petition contained
393, 900 signatures, an enumeration which
the officer in charge of the procession stated
was under the mark. Most of the signatures
were obtained in London On each corner
of the wagon were banners with the word
@Beware."
The procession was dispersed by tho
police at the point where it entered the
Embankment, at the foot of Northumber-
land avenue. Only the wagon with it's
guard was allowed to pass along the EN-
baukment and the conveyance itself was
stopped when 1t got within 500 yards Of the
house Of parliament. Thence the petition
was carried, with the aid of long handles
attached to the winch like arrangement
around which it was wound, towards the
house Of commons, large crowd accom-
panying 1t. When the bearers OF the petit
tion reached the St Stephens entrance of
the house, few minutes after 3 O'Clock,
cheers were raised on all hands, and as it
passed into the hall Unto which only few
selected persons were permitted to follow it,
a Hallelujah lass exclaimed "Hallslujahl I
