Many colored people in the South are
still of the opinion that in order to
remedy the evil all they have to do is to
60 to law about it. Jake Webster went
to Justice Howard on Onion Greek, and

he handed over an antiquated old
turnip.

HIS RIGHTS.

A Small Boy Who Knew His Rights and
Determined They Should Be Respected.
Big men are not always just or gen.
erous, and many times the small boy is
a sufferer at their hands. Sometimes
the big man is cross because he has
eaten too much dinner-the small boy
will understand now how uncomforta-
BILE he feels and he is too big to cry he
vents his i'll humor, many times, on the
first small boy who comes in his way.
Now, you know that some people think
that if you eat too much meat you will
become savage, and, as this man who
was unjust to the small boy was
butcher, perhaps he had eaten so much
that he had become in part savage.

Uncle Ben. Jewell IN LuckP

The report circulated about the city last
evening to the effect that the highly es-
teemed and widely known Ben Jewell had
drawn 100000 in the Louisiana state lot
tery. leads to the belief that Bismarck
and the Missouri slope is being especially
favored by the sly old queen of fortune.
River men, who are warm bosom friends
of the venerable pilot, assured the Tri-
bune last evening that he had confiden-
TALLY informed them Of mis- good luck.
Surely, emo man is more deserving of for
tunes favors, and with this Increase of
capital Mr.. Jewell can add many needed
and important Improvements to the facil-
tiles for navigation. He can execute
many large and expensive schemes, which
he has planned in the past, and increase
the handsome revenue which he is already
receiving from his numerous boats. 1t
should be remembered that Capt. Ben.
Jewell is the only gentleman living who
accomplished the feat of swimming the
Missouri river with $500, 900 in silver coin
in his pocket, which he did to escape from
the James boys, who were close upon his
heels when he plunged into the stream.
There are numerous other wonderful feats
to Capt. Ben's credit, and his reported
good luck is cause for rejoicing among his
fricnds.-Bismarck Tribune.
