Concerning Wild Mustard.

BISMARCK, Oak, July 20--The law
of the last session recurring the de-
struction of wild mustard was on the
outside, by a blunder Of the enrolling
clerk, "An amendment TO the special
law of 1885" and was therefore omitted
from the book of session laws; and
Secretary Teller, on discovering the
omission, had the law printed for a
to the book of session laws,
and will distribute them by next mail.
Wild mustard has become a great
plague in the Red rive counties, and
in other sections Where flax has been
cultivated, and county and town au-
thorities are now authorized to have it
destroyed at the expense Of the land
owners, and required to destroy it on
the highways.--Pioneer press.

Our Trip to Woonsocket.


Notwithstanding the threatening
clouds and lowering sky Saturday,
some 45 members of the cold-water
army Of this place met in the valley on
school section and started for Woon-
socket to visit their Band of Hope ac-
corling to Invitation. The hearty ap-
planse Of the citizens alpng the route,
only served TO increase the ardor Of the
Hopeful crowd and all Went merry as
a marriage-bell The people of Woon-
socket came out to the suburbs to meet
us, with their brass band which was a
treat to all, and as they led the process
sion through the streets, our valiant
soldiers stepped briskly and cheerfully
to the inspiring strains of music until
we reached the rink, (whichit the propri-
etor had generously donated to our use
for the day. where we found the tables
set, and large platform in the rear of
the rink on which they seated the cold
water army Of both places, and enter
tanned us with songs and lpcitations,
and addresses by some ofthe prominent
men Of NNoousocket. Then we had q
feast Of the good things, of Garth, the
Woonsocket ladies voluntarily assum-
ing all the burdens and labor attending
the dinner. After dinner they all in
sisted that cur Geld water army give
another drill in the rink, and it was
quite edifying to see some Of the domi-
nies roll up their sleeves andwipe the
perspiration from their brow, as they
hustled the tables out of the way (after
piling our baskets full of lunch for our
return) to make room for the drill,
Then at request of citizens we paraded
the streets in company with Woonsock-
cts Band which numbers 100, the side
walks so crowded we had to take the
middle of the. street One lady re-
marked, This will do Woonsocket
more good than a course of lectures for
one year.
1t was more than encouraging to us,
it was inspiring; and l believe there
was no one but returned with better
thoughts and higher aspirations, more
fully realizing the "Peace on earth and
good will to men," 1t WAS truly a red
letter day in the lives Of the children,
and who knows but some strain or a
song, or some word in the rccitations,
may haunt the:memory of our bo.s in
life's battles and temptations IN the fu-
ture, and help them to advocate and
live the principles Of sobriety and
truth. The NVconsocket Band has
promised us an opportunity to return
their hearty welcome by giving us q
visit soon and we shall be happy to re-
ceiye them. All OF our members are
profuse in their expressions OF admira-
ton and appreciation Of the courtesy
and kindly greeting shown lis by them.

verdict 'I never had SO much fun since
have been in Dakota"
