Camp Shields.

Correspondence of the REcoED:
News Is somewhat scarce this week, but
the camp will try to occupy its space in
the RECORD. ..... Michael Rush will start
for Bismarck to, morrow with load Of
wheat. Mr.. Henry Bergey, mission
ary to Camp Shields, has his house nearly
completed. He intends to start Sunday
school rs soon as he gets fixed up. p.,....
Charlie Kilbern was in the timber Satur-
day after load of weod. He did not get
out of the woods before dark, and in con-
sequence got lost. He started his team
on tue road, and trusted them to take him
to Shermers; but the team took the short
end Of the road and brought him into
camp. Charlie locked around IL little and
concluded to stay until morning %. The
boys started out for hunt the other
day. They soon found tho freshly made
track with the bell, and Ed Hodgkinson
and Aquilu .Croghan started out to head
Oft the deer. After they had run for
two or three hours Ed got tired and
started for hons hut Mr.. G. thought he
would make one more effort 10 get ahead,
80 liz ran about mile and then waited for
the bell to come up. Alva soon came up
and remarked that he'd be hanged if he
liked to follow trail with some fellow
ahead OF him on the Same track. Mr.. G.
went in and found that Mr.. s. had lost
the fresh trail and taken an old one that
he (Cro2han) had followed four days be-
fore. The boys had been trying to head
of deer that was probably at that time
hidden away in bunch Of brush down
on Beaver Creek or hundred miles in
some other direction. will not attempt
to describe what followed, but any one
who knows Creghan can probably guess
pretty straight. Ed Campbell was in
camp over night this week, and the city
band gave him ssrenadc. He said it
was worth treat, but he was not prepared
TO "sat 'em up" "......The boys arc talk
ing of getting up some sort of an enter,
tainment fer the purpose of raising lit
tie money with which to purchase instru-
ments for the band. They have not de-
cided what it will be nor where they will
hold it; but think it would be good
plaa to hold it In the camp and invite
everybody. jim SKIMMERHoRN.

wood, and when evening came they do
cided to pool their blankets, ovsrceats.
ETC., aud bunk together. Jack made
the bed and turned in. He would have
slept soundly until morning If his "pard"
would have let him. But w. L. was very
uneasy and repeatedly sought to crowd
his companion out of bed and steal all
the "kivor" BE got up next morning
with his teeth chatterinE. All of which
was because Jack had divsd into bad with
six blankets over him, while William had
failed to get the combination and had
crawlcd In on top Of all but two.

The RECORD IS happy TO state that a
goodly number ''goodly" in more senses
than one) have answered our recent heart
reuding appeal by paying up. This is
right. If citizen obtains morphine,
laudanum or other soporific at country
drug store. he must pay for it. Then
why should he expect to procure sleep
medicine week after week from a country

equivalent?>

Correspondence of the RECORD:
One OF our old friends from the north
was dawn this way Monday and Tuesday,
and found US all at homo. The hunters
have been closed in for few days, 50
they all got together by the IRE and held
u council. Finally it was DIS turn. He
sald he had fine shot the ether day.
He tore hole through q deer right in
front Of Its tore legs that let daylight
through. But the animal still ran. The
second shot was through the rump, but
hs kept on. Another shot broke Its back
and the hind quarters dropped. He tosk
that part home, ate supper off it, and the
next day overlook and captured tho fore
quarters. A. J. Henstaln told how he
once got cut Of ammunition, but he then
ran down two aoers and killed them with
y monkey wrench. ...... It's mistake about
Mr. CAntwell being hung up for the wIn-
ter. He was seen out on the prairie tho
other day after "a pair of ears" But the
ears" sat up on its launches, made
faces ut him and said, Shoot can
dodge IS fast as you can shoot. ... Mr..
and Mrs. Hahaney had a pleasant family
gathering on Christmas Day. They are
pleasant family, and the neighbors all
wish them well...: Mr.. Mahansy has
bought the house Of John Mckay and is
moving it homo. VIM. Pagel bears q
big smile now, for he has nothing to do
butkeep the boys in practice at game
Of cards. C. H. Bumstead wont down
to Aberdeen recently on final-proof bust
ness. .... .Charlis Parker is going where
tho peaches grow. We do not wish Char
lie any ill luck but We predict that, like
bad penny, he will soon return. wv.
F. Heran was up to Winchester Sunday.
Then came day or two Of blizzard, and
Frank probably got enough to last him
until spring. BY-THE-WAY.

A BILL to establish government tclc.
graph was introduced in congress by Sen.
stor Cullom, recently. 1t is an extremely
popular measure. Innumsrable psLi,ions
in its favor are being forwarded to- Wash
ingtsn, and among those in preparation
is one from the Farmers Alliance Of Da.
kota. Almest the only opposition is By
the big Associated Press newspaper mo-
uopolles. That organization has no wish
tn see the present rates reduced, for Il re-
duction would be advantageous to those
journals not within the powerful colnbi-
nation. The Associated Press secures
low rates to its members, while the out
side publisher must pay the full tariff
price, and one negative vote closes
the door against any publisher desiring
membership and forces him to deal with
the telegraph company as an individual.
Therefore, those journals belonging to
one OF the great press associations cannot
be expected to grow enthusiastic over the
new bill. Some Of the big dailics fear
that governmental ownership Of the teto, :,
graph will create new and large class of
political dependents; but, as civil-service
rules are to govern, that fear is ground
less. The time will come when the peo-
ple--ths preducers--will demand that the
government own and operate transporta-
ten lines, to the end that farm products
and manfacutured articles may reach the
people without an enhanced cost Inn
tied only by the cupidity of private cor.
porations. Tho monopoly organs will
again slug the old song about the danger
of making more political dependents,
while well knowing that the evil may be
eliminated by giving tenure of office
during life or good behavior 1t is time
that the "Daternal government" bugsboo
ceased to frighten. The two most excel
lent systems # this country are the pos
tai and the public; school systems. Both
arc purely "patornap' or socialistic, and
yet the people ohnation or state do OF
seem to fear that their liberties vii! ever
he seriously injured by the postmasters
or tue schoolma' ans. The telegraph
has been the servant. chiefly Of tho wealthy
class the Cullom bill proposes to place
the privilege of its general use in the
possession of all.
