Accidental Death by a Reyolver.-A

Accidental Death by Reyolver.-A
gentleman from Findlsy informed us on the
train Wednesday morning, that Stephen
Van Sickle, who had Just purchased new
self-cocking revolver, stepped into saloon
in that city on Saturday last and meeting
Daniel Routson, OF McComb, invited him
to take glass of beer with him, but Mr..
X. said no. he would throw the dice to de
eide which should pay the treat. This was
agreed to and while standing at the bar
Van Sickle pulled out his revolver TO show
tho working of the new weapon, sdpposing
It not TO be loaded. The first click OF the
hammer sent bullet into the breast OF Mr..
Routson, killing him almost Instantly
Both were prominent citizens and the sad
affair created intense excitement. The
case was being rigidly Investigated Mon
day and Tuesday, and was not completed
on Wednesday, The friends OF the dead man
are trying to establish the claim that 1t was
the result OF some old grudge, which is
strongly denied by the defendant.
Natural Gas.-We had the pleasure on
Tuesday night, while at Bowling Green, OF
Joining party OF six who drove down to
gas wells Nos. and 7, some two miles
south OF town. In a period of a profuse
Aow Of natural gas, of the various grades,
il was rare treat to witness the escaping
flames, about 20 feet in height, OF the gem
ulne article from each OF these wells. The
Company have their pipes laid TO No. Q
and it is now furnishing an abundant sup
ply for fuel and light in town. and it would
seem that there is sufficient escaping
through The escape pipe to supply an equal
demand. Just half mife further south
No. was sunk, and at depth of llT5
feet II was dynaniited on Tuesday morning
and the flow of gas promised TO be
equal to No 6. Each are throwing tip a
aame 90 feet high from the escape pipe.
Three.fourths of mile further south, on a
direct line, was plainly visible the
flames shooting up from Whit McMahan's
well. There seems no doubt of an abund-

most attractive is that OLA. G. Quicker

display Of their goods, consisting of
beautiful toilet cases, books Of all

which may be desired from their beau

Owing to the continued contribu-
ton of presents, to the Confederate
Home Gift Concert enterprise and the
rapid growth of the enterprise, the
managers have found it necessary to
postpone the drawing until December

more satisfactory arrangement for the
occasion. Those who have already
purchased tickets can hold them, as
they are good for the 9th.

The saddle mare contest which fol-

In the exhibit notices yesterday the
HERALD said that II. NJ. Mcintyre

essary that there be q general awaken

make Bismarck the leading city OF the

tween q country town and metropoll,,
tan city is enterprise-indivldual and
corporate. Our streets are not what
they should be; we have no sewerage;
we have no water works; we have no
gas; we have no electric light; We nave
no city hall; we have no public park; 10
short we are sadly de6cientin nearly all
the necessary adjuncts that go to make

A safe source Of RELIEF.

The rheumatic are seldom free from a cer-
tain soreness or stiffness in the iointu and
muscles. which serves as q constant reminder
that the virus only waits an unfayorable
change Of weather, or that of acold, to em-
phasize its pfesence with excruciating wings.
To prevent the recurrence and mitigate the
pain. there is no finer or safer source of relief
than Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. q medicine
every way preferable to the poisofs, repeated
infinitesimni doses of which are taken, to the
prejudice of health and the jeopardy of life,
and without permanently remedial effect
Sleep banished by rheumatic ana neurafgic
pain at night, is restored by this benehcent
soother OF the ue1vous system, and the siumber
which it superinduces is far more refreshing
and beneficial thar the stUpor INTO which the
brain is thrown by narcotic. Appetite and
dIgestion, as we'll as sleep, are improved by it
and it is an admirable regulator and tonic for
the bowels and kidney. Use it for rheumatism
before retiring.

that 324 trans were moving on the Mis-

conclusive that the strike is at an end,
at least for the present. The knights of

of the immense railroad system goes oE

there are more applications for positions

A. N. Kellogg died recently at Thsmp-

inventor of what Is known as auxiliary
sheets" for newspapers, otherwise
"patent insldes." While publishing q
weekly newspaper at Baraboo, Wiscon-
son, many years ago, he found himself
unable to issue his paper on time be-
cause of secretly of type setters. In
this dilemma he sent to Madison and had
one side of his paper there placed In
type and printed. This resort gave to
Mr. Kellogg the idea of ready printed
sheets as an aid to country newspapers
and he followed the idea SO successfully
that almost every country weekly in the
United States hns adopted the plan
Mr.. Kellogg hailt UP many large estab-
ishments furnishing "patent insides,'
ont of which he made fortune. The
system inaugurated by Mr.. Kellogg'f
necessities is yet popular one and
promises to continue in existence indef

The fight being made by democratic
gepatols on Dakota nominations has
narrowed down to Marsha! Maratta
lhere is no apparsnt opposition to MIR.
cCormick, the territorial secretary,
who ia now here. The opposition to
Maratts is because of his alleged change
of views on the division question. he
is said to stand with M. Il. =. and
that wing of the party favorable to diy1-
sion. AT the time of his appointment
he expressed himself with great dis
tinctness as being opposed to division
until the next presidential election.
The original draft of the foregoing
telegraphic item probably has upor
it's reverse side the private memoran
dunn, slnspired by Ordway." 1t is ont
OF his sepai-occasional digs. Marsha
| Maratta has never held bat one opinion
relative to division and that was IN favo
of division. He is still there, and hon
| est conviction Of thus sort will not IN
terfere with his confirmation. The oil
capital gang would like we'll enough !
see his nomination rejected, but thi
isn't their year for winning.

Surveyor General Taylor, who has re.
turned to Dakota from Washington ID
convinced that the democrats will vote
TO pass division bill for Dakota, di7ld-
ing the territory by an east and west
line, either on the forty sixth degree OF
latitude or on the seventh standard par
ailel. Mr.. Taylor had an interview with
Mr.. Hill, chairman of the house commit
tee on territories, and he found that
gentleman IN favor not only OF the
project, but willing to vote for bill
giving south Dakota statehood. 1t was
not demonstrated, however, that the
balance of the committee agreed with
their chairmsn on the admission propo-
sition. From repeated statements OF
this nature we can only conclude that
the democratic members of congress are
lwilling to do something for Dakota and
this Willingness has been long dwell
upon with the fondest anticlpatIons
