The Way to Celebrate.
The reports of the Fourth of July cele-
brations throughout the country are now
coming and judging from the accounts
which the rural press contain, the genuine
old spirit Of Independe dence is still alive.
For instance the Bottineau Pioneer in
speaking Of the celebration at Dunseith ex-
presses the following patriotic sentiment:
Mrs. W. 8. Hckham's red, white and blue candy
S Sna Oang Il o
juneau and Nj. i. Vaillainoourt. 81 J.
Now, what could be more sublime than
the proper disposition of the candy, and
what could be more patriotic than the work
of Miss Juneau and Mr.. Vaillaincourt in
devOuring such an amount that none was.
wasted in the rain !?
But here is where the Pioneer scars:
Heavenly ARTILLERY resonnded on high lofty
boughs swayed and the limbs tossed the leaves to
the wind Of the rapidly approaching storm, the
lowering clouds cast their Shade e. over the wood,
under the trees, rubbers and umbrellas, while
Mrs Powell Gang llarny'' with grace and spirit,
accompanied by Mrs. J. B. Sinclair on the organ.
More evidence of patriotism you will OBJ
serve, for the crowd gathered under the
s'trees and rubbers" to hear the singing,
when they might have escaped in the rain.
In speaking of the manner in which the
visitors enjoyed themselves and their sur
rOundings, the paper pays the citizens the
following neat compliment: s
The strong, healthy and intelligent throng of
western men was viewed with establishment.
HURRAH FOR THE SIDE TwIsTER.
Perhaps the grandest and most emo
bling demonstration was that at Lake
Preston. The Times Of that place eXclaims
enthusiastically:
wrestle between Mr.. Star, who Lives north of
De Smet, and George Clark, of this place. Clark
had been up the night before all night, had fred
ing the day, had been ragamuain and jumped
kicked by the animal during that time and
@ that he had to hs Fns
nice as you please the first round. Star acted on
the defensive and let Clark 90 all the work, the
@ eba6a ct Last pa4d y sa5 hin Pm
which as;deolared fall for Star. Clark received
q side twl6fer that broke rlb. .'F.
This begins to look encouraging. When
they break ribs, blow out eyes, get kicked
by the mule that leads the procession and
indulge in the great American "side-
twister," you can rest assured that the
country is safe and that the deeds of the
revolutionary f0refathers are not forgot

The Ordway. Bismarck & Northwestern.
L. G. Johnson, of Ordway, arrived in the
city Tuesday afternoon, and returned last
evening. His mission was in the interest
of the Ordway, Bismarck & Northwestern
road and he is working indefatigably for
the early construction Of the road. The
company is pushing north to tap the coal
fields and will lose no time in accomplish
ing its object Grading will be commenced
at Aberdeen next Monday, and with a
large force Of men the progress will not be
slow. The first contract will be for the
grading to Leona, the county seat OF Nc
Pherson county. The road will be one
Of the great commercial arteries Of the
northwest, and will play an important part
in the development of the Missouri slope.
It passes through Mcintosh county, with
HOskins as one Of its promising stations.
Mr. johnson, the enthusiastic representa-
tive of the road, left for Minneapolis last
evening, and will return in few weeks to
the road through Burleigh and Mclean
counties.

Good Bye to the Seventeenth.
Companies E and K of Fort Custer ar
rived in the city last Tuesday and were
transferred from the coaches to the steamer
General Tompkins, which is under the
command Of Captain Barr. Company
3 is under command of Captain Garrety
and X under Captain Troxel, both of whom
are well known among the pioneers of Bis
marck. The Tompkins left last evening,
and stopped at Lincoln, where companies
"A, under Captain Van Horne. and &, Cap
tain Rodgers, We're taken aboard, the pOpu-
lar Lieutenant Burns being among those to
depart. It is matter of deep regret to
the people of Bismarck and the entire
northwest that the Seventeenth has been
removed, and the best wishes of all accom-
pany them to their new posts of duty. The
ladies Of Bismarck will miss Mrs. Captain
Van Horne, Mrs. Captain Rodgers and
Mrs. Lieutenant Burns, who have added SO
much to the lustre and happiness of the
social gatherings in this city, and their
departure is considered serious loss.
May the new homes of these popular la
dies and gentlemen be pleasantly located
and may they continue to be esteemed
and admired.
Professor Burchard Moves On.
On Monday afternoon Professor Burch-
ard. the demented phrenologist and cousin
of exp resident Hayes, left tor the west
lin company with his attendant. The pro-
fessor is subject to some very queer freaks.
Instead Of walking to the train he insisted
