A Spicy Case.

The land Office of this city has been
ablaze with the glory of merry war for
several days. The cause of this disturb
ance was the contest over the land of S.
E. Kepler and James H. Michner. In
these cases both men having made final
proof on land near Dawson, Special Agent
Easterly recommended that the proofs be
cancelled. The liveliest tussle was over
the claim of Kepler, who is of the firm of
Raymond Bros. & Kepler. For several
days the air of the land Office was blue
and sulphurous. Kepler had made final
proof in June, 1883, and Agent Easterly
recommended cancellation on the ground
OF non-residence and fraud. Raymond
Brothers and Kepler, together with a
number Of friends, were present to op.
and witnesses in favor of cancellation
were also present, and livelier war of
words has seldom been waged in the Office
since the first pioneer settled upon Dakota
land with wild and hopeful whOop. At
one time during the case one witness was
informed by member of the opposition
that he was liar of rare and brilliant
affection were thrown about the room
would have made Donnybrook terrier
wild with envy. just as a witness was
expressing himself in the most modern
volapuk, which is so plain that 1t can be
understood by those who cannot even
read English, the fierce and undaunted
Raymond drew revolver from his pocket
desk. He did not say he would use the
argument, he made no threats, but he
struck it carelessly against the hardwood
desk to remind his opponent that it was
present and could be referred to as mat
ter of proof if necessary. During all this
time the case proceeded in the even tenor
OF its way. In fact, that was just about
has all been taken, the special policeman
who patrolled the hallway has been dis
charged, and the officials of the land office
have taken the case under advisement.

The Aeitators at Work,

Bismarck has a committee of statehood
agitators The duties of this committee
are varied, but their chief responsibility is
to attend all meetings for the agitation of
the great question Of statehood; to arrange
for meetings; furnish information, and dis
seminate the truth which has so long been
ignored by congress. The committee con-
sists of three estimable citizens: E. A.
Williams, w. 7. Perkins and Farmer Wal
lace, with John A. Rea as private secretary
and privy counsel. At late hour Satur-
day afternoon it was learned by these gen
itlemen that statehood meeting was to be
held in Mandan-that Mandan had decided
to agitate. Farmer Wallace's eagle eyes
snapped fire; the gallant Perkins arose
from his chair and appeared the embodi-
ment of soulstirring and blood-harrowing
agitation; the Hon. E. A. Williams classic
'cOuntenance betrayed the enthusiasm
which had been stirred within him. and
the tall and stately Rea appeared more
magnificent than ever.
There was to be a statehood meeting at
Mandan, and there was no regular train to
bear the agitating committee to the scene
of agitation that they might give to the
agitated people that artistic and glowing
success which experience alone can
achieve. But happy thought struck the
calm and soft-voiced Wallace. A freight
train would soon arrive and would convey
the committee to the scene of heroic dis
turbance. A look and word was
enough, and away flew the committee to

The following letter received by the
TRIBUNE yesterday will be read with in
terest, especially by the young men whose
names are suppressed in the hope that the
warning will be sufficient to make their
publication unnecessary:
Editor TRIBUNE: think it about time
that you devote some space to the impu-
dent young mashers of Bismarck, who are
constant annoyance to young ladies who
are frequently compelled by circumstances
to appear upon the street after dark. I
know of several instances where these
conceited dudes have annoyed and embar-
assed ladies and perhaps the publication of
their names would bring them to their
senses. ONE WHO WAS ANNOYED.
The young lady who sent the above letter
to the TRIBUNE is evidently sincere, and
although the TRIBUNE does not feel war
ranted in granting the request made in her
private letter to publish the names of the
young men, it feels that she has done good
service to her sex and to the public by
calling attention to the matter. Young
men who think they are irrepressibly be-
witching and prepossessing should remem-
Der that sensible ladies do not mis-
take idiOcy and a swelled head for brains,
nor sawny smiles for beauty.
OF all the nuisances that is the curse of
Americas freedom of speech and manners
the "mashing" nuisance is the most con-
temptible. Young man. beware.

To Boom Painted Woods.

Wonders will never cease. Who would
have thought that a scheme would be con-
cocted for the booming of Painted Woods ?
Who would have suspected that the point
which has long been looked upon as one
of the most imaginary of all the proposed
towns in the northwest would develop into
boom town? Notwithstanding the air of
fiction which has so long, surrounded the
town, it is now understood that the gentle
men interested in the land in the vicinity
Of Painted Woods have plan by which
they hope to make it one Of the liveliest
points tributary to Bismarck. tits proposed
to build a railroad to the coal mines of Nc
Lean. county which will make Painted
Woods one Of the principal stations, with
switchyards, elevators, water tank and all
that goes to make good local railroad
town. While the gentlemen who are in a
position to know something of the proposed
movements of the prospective railroads
smile at the mention of Painted Woods
there are those who seriously entertain the
hope that 1t will he one of the prosperous
towns on the line of railroad from Bis.
marck to the coal fields.

Bishop walkers sermon.

Bishop Walker preached two excellent
sermons in the Episcopal church Sunday,
adding to his evening discourse very
entertaining description of his visit in
London. The bishop is one of the most
eminent OF the American representatives
scholarly and finished speaker. The church
was crowded morning and evening. The
people of Bismarck regret that Bishop
Walkers visits to the capital cannot be
more frequent.

James Creelman closes one Of his spicy
Bismarck articles to the New York
Herald as follows:
have met the judges and seen them try
cases; have attended the schools and OBJ
served the attendance and the method Of
teaching; have inspected nearly all of
the public institutions; have ridden over
the prairies, talked with the farmers and
examined their farm improvements; have
clergymen; have walked through the
cities and seen their stores, hotels and
manufactures; 1 have ridden on nearly all
of the railways, and [ have seen the people
of North Dakota assembled in convention.
And in all this have failed to see single

A Great Event For Sports.

The Bismarck Athletic club. which has
long been one of the.most progressive and
aggressive organizations in the city, has
decided to make an effort to induce Sulli.
van and Kilrain to fight at this point pro-
vlded match is made between these giants
Of the manly art, A message will be sent
to the New York Clipper to-dav, the Bis
marck Athletic club offering $4,000 to the
managers of Sullivan and kilrain to be
divided as the principals and their hackers
may see fit, provided the fight will take
place in or near Bismarck. While the
people of Bismarck are opposed to prize
lighting and all that pertains to pugilistic
population are determined to have the best
or none whatever.
1t is the plan of the Athletic club. pro-
vided a match is made between Sullivan
and Kilrain and they consent to fight in
Bismarck, to charge $40 per ticket admis-
sion and to have special trains run from
all points in Dakota, Minnesota and Mon
tana. The sum of $4,000 will easily be
covered by proper advertisement of the
event and as result a handsome amount
can be placed in the treasury of the Ath-
letic club.
Prize-fghting is not commendable; it is
one OF the evils OF modern civilization, but

From Ra,nel.'s ,fnnnztne.

From Hatper's Magazine.
All come to me in dreams, and then,
One saith, | shall be well again,
For then the night will more than pay
The weary longing of the day.
Nay, come not in those dreams, my sweet,
With shadowy robes. and silent feet,
And with the voice, and with the eyes
That greet ME in a soft surprise.
Last night last night in dreams we met.
And how today, shall forget,
Or how, remembering, restrain
Mine iucOmmuuicabe pain:
Nay, where thy folk and country are,
Dwell thou, remote. apart, afar,
Nor rnngle with the shapes that sweep
The melancholy ways Of sleep.
But IT, perchance, the shadows break,
II dreams depart, and men awake,
If face TO face at length we see,
Be thou the first TO welcome rue.
