BISNARCK IN BRIEF.
Electric light wires are being extended
to the capitol, and the estate house, will
be illuminated by electricity during the
winter.
The Bismarckers now returning from
the east bring good reports and they agree
| with the TRIBUNE that 80 will be g great
and eventful year for Bismarck and the
Missouri slope.
The business men of Bismarck are be-
| ginning to demonstrate to the farmers that
their interests are considered Of vital inn
pOrtance to the city and that they will be
protected as far as possible by the people
of the city.
When the Atheneum is removed to the
corner of Fourth and Broadway the theatre
going people of the city viii! find their
business portion of the city and much
nearer the center Of population.
Williamsport Record: Mr.. J. j. Luck of
county last week. met with q serious acci-
dent over on the river road. The vehicle
in which he was riding was turned bottom
upward in gully, hut we understand he
was not injured.
Emmons County Record: Mr.. and Mrs.
John WaldrOn of WinOna, are the proud
parents of q bran new-boy, of course.
The first thing the young man said was:
"Rah for Clevelandp' The Williamsport
their congratulations.
The addition of the brilliant arc light on
the corner Of Broadway and Fourth streets
to the Illuminating ..'plant" of the city is
business takes them in that vicinity in the
evening or late at night. 1t is one step
toward moving the business center north
ward.
It is understood that Col. Robt. G. Inger-
soil has cancelled his engagement for the
proposed northwestern tour this winter.
It was hoped by his Bismarck admirers
that they would be given another Oppor-
Junity of hearing him, and the announce
ment that he has given up the northwest
ern tour is disappointing.
Marshar Maratta in Fargo Argus: I
can't understand how these fellows that
were at the Aberdeen one state convention
stand where always stand. l am
always one thing or the other. No half
way business with me. never talk one
thing and mean or do another.
Sheriff Balyard of Brookings county ar
rived in Bismarck Wednesday to remove Ole
KnudsOn from the penitentiary and take
him to the reform school at Plankinton.
The young man was booked for the reform
school some months ago, but as that insti-
in the Bismarck institution. He will now
be lodged in the school at Plankinton.
The dance-loving people of the city will
ment of the ball announced for Christmas
by the Pioneer Hose company No. /. 1t is
understood that the postponement is the
result of an agreement to give depart
ment ball which will be under the auspices
of all of the companies, and which in all
probability will be the greatest of the year.
Rev. c. B. Austin and family will take
their departure for the east in a few days,
and visit in New York state. Mr.. Austin
declined the call to Michigan, and is now
considering one from Lewisburg. Pa. His
goes east His household furniture is now
for sale. See one cent a word column.
| If the December weather in Dakota
could be fully understood in the misguided
east the immigration to the territory would
soon settle the problem Of the settlement
of the unoccupied public domain. When
will the New Englanders learn that the
climatic Eden OF the country is between
the Red river of the north and the Rocky
mountains?
A telegram from New York in Mondays
Fargo Argus reads as follows: sAleck Nc
Kenzie, Bismarck's famous boomer and
rustler, attended divine services to-day, the
second Sunday in Advent, at the cathedral,
listened to the music by the two grand
organs and double choir and heard SER
mon by Archbishop Corrigan. This state
ment is vouched for and affidavits will be
furnished, if necessary, by Elijah Coffin,
Tom Ochiltree, Rufus Hatch and p. DOnan.
Nearly all the leading democrats in South
Dakota, who have heretofore favored the
admission Of Dakota as one state, now ad-
vocate the passage of the Platt bill for
division. They recognize the fact that 1t
was party blunder. At Yankt0n Friday
meeting of prominent democrats was
held and at Mitchell on the Goth meeting
of democrats from all parts of South Da-
kota will be held to urge upon the present
democratic congress to anticipate the re-
publicans-steal their thunder-and pass
the Plat bill at once.
