CITY CHIPS,

Mandan Pioneer: 1t is rumored that
Lieutenant Irwin, of Fort Lincoln, will
shortly go east to be married.
Dispatches announce that Senator Vest
will have the floor for the discussion of the
Dakota question at o'clock, standard time,
this afternoon. About that hour Dakota
will send her political chambermaids out
with suds. ashes and mOps, to see that Mr..
Vest leaves the floor in as good condition
as he finds it.
A letter from A. j. Carpenter, who went
east about month ago, and is visiting at
West Easton, New York, bears the intelli-
gence that the thermometer registered 40
below zero at that place last week. How it
must annoy him to read of the out door
sports which the people of the Missouri
slope were enjoying about that time.
With John C. Hollembaek discharged by
the council but not by the Mayor; with l..
K. Hull engaged by the council, but ig-
nored by the mayor with policeman suS-
pended by the council, and an investiga-
ton OF the entire police force in full blast,
the next regular meeting of the city coun-
Gil promises to throw little spice and pep
per into the dull and uninteresting routine
of every day life.
The Yankton Press and Dakotaian pleads
with the manager of the Yankton "opera
hamlet of the Grau Mikado company,
which has been entertaining the people of
North Dakota. This is cruelty After
reading of the vicissitudes which the COM
pany encountered in Montana and Wash
ington territory it does seem as though Mr..
Grau has been punished enough.
1t may be stated as an illustration of the
literary tastes of Idaho people and mining
communities, that the Ceur d'Alene Rec
ord announces with a spirit of swelling
pride, that in its next Sundays issue it
will ''begin the publication of the famous
tale of Ell He'll Bender Hoptinicus, a Le-
gend of the Land of Ophir." While the
title may be tame and uninteresting, the
Record assures its readers that the Story
will be spicey and entertaining.
There is no lessening of interest in the
revival services being conducted in the
Methodist Episcopal church. The attend
ance is good, and glorious work is being
done, by the help, Of the Lord, for the ex-
sinner, stop and think, before you further
go"; procrastination not only robs you of
time, but cheats you of eternity. Every one
should attend these services; no one out Of
the ark of safety can afford to remain
away.
1t has at last been seriously announced
that the young ladies of the city are about
to begin rehearsals for dramatic enter
tainment to be given at an early date. 1t is
also learned that all that is needed to conf
plete the dramatis persona, is a likely and
gifted young man to assume the role of the
lover. And this. with such 1.-the and spright-
ly gallants as r. B. Mellon, T. B. Allen, Fl.
L. Wilson and j. c. Barr fitting about the
city in their most fascinating smiles. Surely
this delay must come to an abrupt and sud-
den end.
There are several young men in Bis
marck who would be greatly benefited by
the publication of an article OH private
gambling. They might be a little cha
grined and exasperated by the unveiled de-
tails, but year from now they would ac-
knowledge the justice of the expose; pro-
vided, of course, they have not strayed out
into the meshes beyond redemption. The
turning point in youths life is when he
first meets Bob Tailtlush. He should then
turn round and retrace his steps until he
gets out Of the woods.
