A Harmless Idiot.

One Of the harmless but ranting idiots
With which Bismarck is afflicted, issued q
circular last evening addressed to the edit
tor Of the Journal, and attacking the pro-
prietor Of the TRIBUNE. Circulars are Ms
ually addressed to the public, but while
this was distributed broadcast over the
city, 1t was addressed to the editor of the
Journal. This shows combina-
ton of cowardice and ignorance.
Cowardice on the part of the Jour
nal in publishing in circular what
it dared not print in its columns. and ip-
norance on the part of the author. whose
microscopic brain is so "actiye" that Fl is
rapidly vanishing far beyond his reach. AS
Will be seen by the reading of the article re-
1erred to, its author is suffering from de-
sp1nidency and morbid liver. He is a
SUBJECT for medical care rather than news
paper criticism, and unless he reforms in
ms haDits, braces up and, veers around
enough to look upon the sunny side of life.
ne VIII soon end in suicide or maniac's
cell. 1t is to be regretted that men can be-
come SO soured with all the world that life
holds Tor them no sweetness or sunshine or
Joy. But then what can you expect Of
one who insists on playing the part of a
modern "Atlas" and trots around with the
earth on one shoulder and the entire solar
system on the other? The author endeavors
to hide himself behind the signature In
dignant Citizen" but when he uses ofetid.n
"prurlency," bringing" "inviolability," and
other characteristic words his name is not
necessary: 1t some one does not soon take
pity on this remnant of a fool, and drag
him in from his chilly position on the outer
door steps of humanity, his life indeed will
be miserable. - : :

Sudden Death of Mrs. s. A, Bushman,

The community was shocked Saturday
morning to here Of the sudden death of
Mrs. Ada V. Bushman, wife of S. A. Bush
man, the we'll known merchant of the Da-
kota block. This event was all the mora
startling because few were aware of her
illness. The deceased and her family came
to this city about two years ago. Since
that time she has moved in large circle of
acquaintences, and by her amiable and
cheerful disposition, had won many friends.
Mrs. Bushman's health. however, has been
somewhat impaired for the past five years.
A year ago began an Illness which con-
tinued through the entire winter, during
which time her sufferings aroused much
sympathy in her behalf. When spring re-
turned she seemed to be somewhat restored,
50 that she resumed her duties to her fam
lily. Last Monday she was seized by a Sc
we're sickness and after q few days of sharp
suffering her spirit scars to rest. Mrs.
Bushmans age was S6 years. She leaves q
husband and two children to mourn her
loss. Also one sister, Mrs. N. G. Watson,
Of Of Brookyille, Pa. and two brothers, Mr..
Wesley Wilson, of Mahonerg Furnace, Pa,
and Mr.. E. 81. Wilson, of this city, The
family and friends may be assured of the
sympathy of many in this city,
who commend them to Him, who
like a father, pitieth his children. The
funeral will take place from the Presbyter-
ian church this afternoon at 2:SO O'clock.

Oregon's Insane.

From the conversation had with con-
ductor, a few days ago, it would appear
that insanity is floating around in the at
mosphere of Oregon with the same careles,
affection for travellers that characterizes the
cholera in the east. 1t will be remembered
of late several insane people have passed
through this city en- route east. The last
case was that of woman, who boarded the
train at Portland, rational, and without
even the least taint of eccentricity, but be-
fore the train crossed the Oregon line she
was insane, and it was necessary to tie her
in her berth to keep her from spreading
havoc through the car. In speaking of the
case to conductor on the division west of
Mandan, before the conversation reached
the matter of location, he asked: "Was she
in Oregon" Receiving an affirmative an
knew knew it. 81 swear" he continued, aif 1
don't believe everybody in that state is 60
ing crazy. Why, when | was running
through the state on the Oregon line, a
passenger would get on at some station in
the state, would get him in bed, and
everything looked all right for a while but
Se beTe wed sed geS aG @ %es his heq be n% to
it would keep the entire carload of passen-
gers busy during the remainder of the
night holding him down" The graphic
conductor said he seldom passed through
the state that he did not meet an insane
person, and at last he looked with suspi-
the train while passing through the state.
OF course this is the experience of but one
man and the good people of Oregon must
not become alarmed.

BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, NOV Is. 1856

hills and fertile valleys dotted with
6,25OOo head Of stock. This is worthy Of
the attention of all Dokotans. But
twenty \ FIVE years ago the dairy
and stock interests were located in,
New England, New York, the west.
ern reserve Of Ohio, and on the plains Of
Illinois, Southern Michigan and Wisconsin
and Kentucky and Eastern Iowa. It is in
the memory of those fast verging into
manhood and womanhOOd that from these
states or sections our stock, cheese and
butter came. 1t was but few wears
past when the first stock shows or dairy
mems conventions met at Chicago, Mil
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and St. Paul, Mime
sofa, came to the front as great stock and
dairy centers. 1t was but last summer
(1885) that MOOrhead- miles north Of
st. Paul-was recognized and went on re-
cord as a great center for these interests.
And it is an undeniable fact that on the
line west Of Moorhead, Minnesota, or Fargo,
are raised and shipped to the east annually.
1t is true that we have not yet reached the
dairy or creamery boom period that centers
as yet in Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota.
But will not this most naturally follow the
stock and cattle ranges? Will not peo-
pie who have shown the intelligence to
plant stock also plant the dairy and cream
cry? The Mandan Pioneer Of last week,
very timely and wisely, called attention to
the necessity for a creamery and cheese
manufactory in Morton county. Burleigh
county is now producing nearly a home
supply Of butter. Steele, Jamestown, San
born, Valley City, Casselton and Fargo are
supplied by the country surrounding. l
predict that by 1890 the stock, dairy and
creamery center of the west and northwest
will be North Dakota. Most certainly, Da-
kota will rival any state in the Union in
these interests. FARMER WALLACE.

Rev. Schaffner's Freak,

Abiding to the case of Rev. j. F. Schatf-
ner, the minister who was recently SEN
fenced to six months Imprisonment in the
penitentiary, the Mandan Pioneer gives
the following information:
"It is rumored that Rev. Mr. Schatfner
has skipped the county and left his bonds
men in the lurch. 1t will be remembered
that at the last term of court he was SEN
fenced to six months Imprisonment in the
penitentirry, but stay of sentence for a
time was secured and he was allowed out
on bail The bondsmen were Messrs. T..
gilbert, }: Let's, J. E. Gates, and Geo. H.
Bingenheimer A deputy sheriff has been
looking for the missing man. It is under
stood that Mr.. Schaffner gave one of his
bondsmen chattel mortgage on his stock,
but the stock are said to have disappeared
also. There promises to be music in the
air before long over this case. It may be
added that J. E. Gates went up to Dickinson
on Tuesday and returned yesterday, and
there saw NJ. Schaffner and notified him
that he must look for some new bondsme n.
Mr. Schaffner said he would do SO, and Mr..
A few days ago, the bondsmen tried to get
Judge Francis to have Schaffner arrested,
but the Judge declined, saying that the
bondsmen must arrest him themselves if
they wanted to have it done. 1t appears
that few days ago there was another dis
turbance between Schaf1ner and the man
SimOns, when the latter knocked Schaff-
ner down and young Schaffner came up to
protect his father. 1t looks very much as
though Mr.. Schaffner was being badly
treated by Simons, and it also looks as
though Mr. Schaffner was not one of the
kind to run away and leave his bondsmen
in the lurch

The Playful Carp.

1t is to be regretted that SO few were
aware of the arrival of the fish car, which
brought free carp into the country, to be
distributed among all who made applica-
tion. AS it was, a number of the graceful
minnows were taken, and will be placed in
the pondssand streams of the slope. Mr.
John Yegen secured forty, which he will
place in Apple creek On his farm. j. A.
Fields took twenty, which he will place in
Apple creek, and Agent Davidson has
twenty in a neat glass jar. Mr.. David
son will keep the fish at his home
during the winter, and in the spring
will have them transferred to some
pond or brook. The fish car will re-
turn in a few weeks, and it is to be hoped
that the people of Bismarck and Burleigh
county will be on the alert to secure as
many as can be spared for this locality
The carp is one of the hardest of fishes,
and will live in running, standing or stag
nant water, and is desirable at all seasons
of the year for the table.

Received His Money.

Manager Barth, of the st. Paul One Price
clothing house, received a letter Saturday
which reflected the feelings of grateful
nature and contented mind. It was from
Thomas Wright, the rough and ready stee-
edore, who after purchasing new suit of
clothes of Mr.. Barth, left his old overalls on
the floor of the little back room of the
store, and not until he reached Sterling, on
his way east, did he discover that he had
carded pants. He Immediately telegraphed
the fact to Mr.. Barth, who, after long dis
couragiing hunt through a pile of old casta-
way pantaloons, found the money and sent
it to Wheeling, West Virginia, by express.
Yesterdays letter acknowledged the re-
ceipt Of the same, with thanks.

The Stitt Divorce Case.

The Stitt divorce case is still pending in
the district court. The readers of the TR1-
BUNE will remember the circumstances of
the case. Mr.. Stitt came to Bismarck sew
eral years ago with woman whom he
called his wife. This woman died, and he
published the statement that his wife had
passed from earth. and the usual sympathy
of the press was extended. No one sus-
pected that there was anything wrong in
Mr.: stitt's domestic life. Shortly after the
the lawful wife, alive and sprightly, ar
rived from Galena, Illinois, and demanded
her rights in court. The question of
divorce has not been decided, but yester-
day Mrs. Stitt was awarded $40 per week
alimOny. Mrs. Stitt says she will remain
in Bismarck several weeks, to await the
final decision of the court on the question
of divorce.

The Long Lost Mitten.

Since the people of Bismarck were
shocked and almost paralyzed by the an
nouncement of Mr. F. D. johnson that he
had lost beautiful striped mitten, with
the significant letters "F. j." emblazoned
on the wrist thereof, the TRIBUNE offic e
has been crowded with replies. Unfortu-
nately for the .TRIBUNEs mail clerk and
correspondent, the public has assumed that
in advertising for his garmenture of the
or the long lost mitten, Mr.. John
son intended that answers should be sent
to this office, and now the walls of the
sanctum, the tables of the business office,
and the racks of the composing room, are
covered with woolen mittens of every hue,
style, condition and age. One imposing re-
spOnse was received this morning, and now
hangs over the sanctum table as source
of wild, romantic inspiration. 1t is mag
nlficent specimen of red and brindle handi-
work Of the woolen workers of the paleo-
zoic age. OF course the exact date of its
manufacture Is a matter of conjecture, but
Judging from the artistic jagged fringe of
its many antique "ravages of time" and it's
marvellous and indescribable originality of
design, it must have been made long before
the era of the pattern or the needle. This
pompous representative of antiquity andJe Jef-
fersonian simplicity, could not have been
made by the use of the needle. The wool
must first have dropped from the back of
struggling eve in the strange Egyptian
cline, and been blown together by a cy-
clone of the primitive days. While Mr..
johnson will undoubtedly admire this es-
thetic response to his advertisement, it is
hought by those who know "him" best,
that the modest mitten that has just ar:
rived, containing generous ''chew" of
hesucculent plug, is the one which he will
embrace as his own.

The Bail Reduced,

For some time Captain Gleason has been
endeavoring to have the amount of bail, un-
der which his son Thomas was placed
for completely in the Mcclellan robbery
reduced. Justice Hare fixed the amount at
$4,000, and refused to reduce the amount.
Saturday afternoon Thomas was taken
before Judge Francis on a writ Of habeasI
corpus, and the bail was reduced to $1,000
1t is said that this amount can be procured,
and the captain hopes to have his son re-
leased.
