and Mrs. Lawler by Gov
ernor and Mrs. Church.
A Few Remarks Relative to the
Wheat Market and the
''Market Reports"
The Reception.

Governor and Mrs. Church have added
more to the long list of brilliant social
events which have made the executive
mansion famous during the past ten years.
The reception rendered by them to Treas
urer and Mrs. Lawler Friday evening was
largely attended by the society people of
the city and the popular treasurer and his
accomplished wife were surrounded by an
exceedingly happy gathering. While
Treasurer Lawler has been in Bismarck
nearly year, Mrs. Lawler did not arrive
in her Bismarck home until recently and
the reception was given as formal intro
duction to Bismarck society, in which,
however, the distinguished recipients of
the honors are no strangers. Both Mr.. and
Mrs LaWler have many friends in the
capital city who were glad of this Opportu-
nifty to give renewed evidence Of regard
and esteem.
The governors residence was brilliantly
guests arrived they were given warm
welcome, those entering late being greeted
by brilliancy, beauty, happiness and
music. Many of the costumes worn by the
ladies were dazzling and beautiful and the
gentlemen need make no apologies for be-

and admiration. A brief season Of dane
ing was followed by refreshments of
the choicest selection and the party dis
persed with words of praise for Governor
and Mrs. Church whose generous hospital
ity they had enjoyed as we'll as for Treas
urer Lawler and his queenly wife in whose
honor they had gathered. The following

In the wheat Pit.

The report that more is being paid for
wheat at Eureka on the Milwaukee road
than is paid by Bismarck buyers must
source, or the conduct of millers and ele-
vator owners in this vicinity is beyond ex-
planation. One thing. is certain, no man
can be more interested in making Bismarck
a good wheat market than the elevator
owners, for the storage capacity of their
elevator is far beyond the amount stored.
1t is a fact that Bismarck to-day has the
best facilities for storing wheat of any
point in the Missouri valley and she now
has room in the !. P. Baker elevator for
storing 100000 bushels of grain. The ele-
vator men know that this idle space is sim
ply so much idle capital and they have
paid for wheat just what it would bring
each day as the market report indicated.
It is to be regretted that the rumor re-
ferred to was given birth for it may be
given credence by farmers who will thus
be induced to take their grain to other
points. After conversation with the gen
tlemen who are buying wheat at this point
it is safe to say that anyone who is willing
to pay more for wheat or to handle it on a
There is q mistaken idea regarding the
control of the wheat market in Dakota
No one man can control the market under
the existing laws.

marck has been bonded and licensed as a

service OF anyone who desires to store his
grain and nav the rpOn0Qr StOrono foo

A Marked Increase.

ORDwAY, OAK, Dec. 4.-The Dakota
crop report for December shows an in
crease in acreage of all kinds of grain, but
some Of the grains show marked decrease
in the yield. 1t has been an unfavorable
season for large yields and in some parts
OF the territory crops were nearly ruined
by early frosts. The average yield Of
wheat In 1883 was 9.2 bushels; average
price, Scents; total yield, S8 749, $50 bushels.

Hurrah for Statehood.

JAMESTOWN, OAK, Dec. 5-The conven-
ton which met in this city to-day although
anonymously called was one of the most
representative bodies ever called and the
first meeting of the kind ever held in North
Dakota. Two hundred persons, represent
ing all but half dozen counties, were
present. The result of the meeting in
dicates the supremacy of the conservative
element in North Dakota. Every action of
the convention was harmonious and no roll
call of counties was had except upon the
selection of chairman. Jamestown parties
antagonized the prevailing sentiment in
favor of Governor Pierce fearing, it is said,
that his elevation to the honorable position
would endanger the chances of Dickey of
Jamestown who has aspirations for
Church's shoes. Stutsman, Barnes, Cass
tiOn for Stone of Fargo, but the Missouri
slope with Grand Forks, Pembina, Walsh,
Ramsey, Dickey, Ransom and other large
counties stood by Pierce and got him in
with a whOOp.
The vice e-presidents were Plummer of
Cass, Roach Of Grand Forks, Thompson of
Burleigh and Levisee of Traill.
Secretaries, Tuttle of Morton, Mcmillan
Of Stutsman, Ellis of Dickey and Power of
Richland.
Committees as follows were selected:
On resolutions, with Long chairman;
on inter territorial, Casey Of
Stutsman chairman; memorial to congress-,
Stevens of Ransom, chairman; to prepare
a bill for the legislature, Geary of Cass.
The resolutions adopted are in accord in
every respect with the position the TR1B-
UNE has taken regarding this meeting. 1t
declares for division on the seventh STAN
dard parallel and for the name of North
Dakota, for an extra session OF congress
and for the early passage of bill by the
legislature providing for the holding of a
constitutional convention. Itwas expected
when these resolutions were read that the
radicals who favored a call for the cOnven-
tion to eminate from this meeting would
make fight against the adoption, but not
an objection from any source was heard

enough has a thorough and speedy remedy
at his command.
1t is understood that the chamber of COM
merce will call meeting to discuss this
question and that farmers will be invited
to be present to exchange views and com
pare notes and to forever bury the claim
that any point in this section of country
can pay more for wheat than Bismarck.
This is the commercial center and best
natural market for the entire surrounding
country and the farmers may rest assured
that they will receive full price for every
bushel of grain that they market.

Tho Coilision.

The Mandanites who attended the
Thanksgiving ball in Bismarck narrowly
escaped disastrous accident, or at least
they have reason to feel that they had a
narrow escape. The engine which was re-
turning for the dancers collided with q
west bound freight train and both engines
were badly damaged. The yard foreman
received Q broken leg and two other train
men were slightly injured. Where the
blame for the collision rests Is not known,
but everybody concerned Is to cOngratu.

Thanksgivlne in bismarck.
[From Fridays Daily.]

From Fridays Daily.]
It was day for thanksgiving. If the
president had never dreamed of issuing a
proclamation the people of Bismarck would
have given thanks yesterday for the per-
feet day that it was. A man who stands
upon the threshold Of winter and cannot
give thanks for day as balmy and fair as
summer in the tropics is indeed Indifferent
and stolid. With bright sunlight. tropical
breezes and an atmosphere as pure as the
ozone Of the poles, che happy Bismarcker
could render thanks with spirit and
ferver which would do justice to monas-
terry.
The people of Bismarck are not of the
fighty type. But they enjoyed Thanks
giving with an earnestness and intensity
of happiness which was most commend
able. With brotherly love and hospitality
did the entertainers welcome their guests
and with practical reassurances of friend
ship-such as making themselves at home
with the turkey and delicacies-did the
guests make life worth living for the hosts.
While the spreads in many Of the homes
of the city were worthy of the most elabOr-
ate description, the TRIBUNE can pay them
no higher compliment than to say that they
were fully up to the Bismarck standard.
The reports Of those who were entertained
in the numerous pleasant family circles
are extremely flattering to the culinary and
artistic accomplishments of those who
made the day round and full with solid hap
pinesS for them.
: At the hotels the usual Thanksgiving
dinner with many additional f0urishes
were served. Proprietor Bly,, who never
permits holiday to 60 unobserved
has rarely been excelled even at the Sheri-
dan and the large number of citizens who
took advantage Of the opportunity to feast
as eplcures, are loud in their praises of the
hotel and ITS thoughtful proprietor.
The Banner house, Western house, Custer
house and the private boarding houses of
the city all served sumptuous Thanksgiv-
vited gentlemen who find enjoyment in the
vermillion walks Of life where the brushes
are wide and the paint red, did not suffer
lack Of entertainment
And why should Bismarck not give
thanks Her fame Is wider, her skies
fairer, her prospects brighter and her COM
mercial foundations more permanent than
hopeful northwest. She is surrounded BY
q farming community, the most snccessful,
this year, on the continent; the granaries
OF her husbandmen are full; her merchants
are happy; railroads are still pointing their
long and sinewy index fingers towards her;
statehood Is galloping toward the territory
Of which she will always be chief among
the great cities, and her people are as rosy
and joyful as any Of the favored children
of the kindly fates.
It was 8 knowledge Of these facts that
the Bismarckers sailed forth yesterday to

Among the bills introduced was one by
Vanderer to divide California into two
states. Springer asked immediate consider
alton Of the resolution making the "omni-
BUS" bill for the admission of Dakota,
Montana, Washington and New Mexico a
special order for to-day, the bill to be con-
sidered from day to day till disposed Of.
Grosvenor objected. Springer later tried
to bring up the senate bill for the admis-
sion of South Dakota and the organization
OF the territory of North Dakota, but Pay
son objected for the present and called up
the Des Moines river land bill which
passed.
EVENING SESSION.
Delegate Clifford of Dakota to-day intro
duced bill amendatory of the law pro-
viding for a division of the great Sioux
reservation in Dakota and for relinquish-
ment of the Indians title to the remainder.
That law was enacted at the last session of
congress and a commission was appointed
under it to treat with the Indians. which
failed to reach satisfactory agreement as
to the proposed division. The bill intro
duced to-day amends the law as follows:
The reservation is to be opened without the
consent of the Indians, while the law
passed at the last session required such
consent. The sum of $2OOO.OOO is to be de-
posted to the credit of the Indians instead
Of $1O00,0O0 as provided for last session.
The land thrown open for settlement is to
be paid for at the following rates: On
lands entered for settlement during the first
two years after the opening of the reserva-
tion, 81 per acre. Ali lands taken during
the next two years, rs cents per acre, and
80 cents per acre for residue undisposed of
at that time. The law of the last session
proposed to pay for the lands at so cents
per acre. The feature of the amendment
is an appropriation of 100000 to defray
the expenses Of surveying the lands open
to settlement. The river and harbor COM
mission want $10OOO0OO as an aggregate
appropriation for the next fiscal year. Ad.

Thatis said Of the farmers who seek
new homes and return to Dakota satisfied
that she has more to offer than any country
under the sun, is equally true of the men
who leave the Dakota towns and cities.
ing the past five years many people have
left Bismarck to chase the will-o'-the- -wisp
of fortune. They have gone to seek a
boom and in nearly every case have they
returned. During the past year several
have come back to their first Dakota love,
and letters from others indicate that they

Bismarckers who have remained and who
still have faith will have cause to cOngrat-

character. These safes have circular
doors, are made Of welded chrome steel
and iron. The doors are closed by a
screw and the fit ground. AS the door
is admitted to be the weakest point in
any safe, this circular form, ground tit.
and screwed fastenings may be regarded
as an additional security in comparison
with the square or rectangular, siugle
or double doors; and the screw securing
the door being double. threaded, one
thread one sixteenth pitch finer than
the other, gives close fit. These safes
are worthy of notice Tor their burglar
proof qualities.

be a fixture and its projectors are de-
serving of great credit for their per-
severance in bringing it to a successful
issue. The field which il covers is a
grand one and we predict for it un-

ST.. Stephen's Parish Fair.

The St. Stephens parish church fair
will open On Monday, the 18th, at Har-
znonia hall. The simple announcement
of this fact ought TO be sufficient

The PeODla's.

The Peoples, as usual, has been
crowded during the week. The stock
company of this season is a superior or
ganization, and the theatre is receiving
the Patronage to which it is justly EN-
titled. During the first part of The
week, "a Woman Of the People, was
produced. The play was we'll put on
the boards. For the last half Of the
week ''Dr. Jekyl and Dr. Hyde with
the original scenery, was the attrac-
ton. This is one Of the strongest plays
produced in Minneapolis this season,
outside Of the legitimate drama. Theo
dora Hamilton cannot be excelled in
the part of CDR. Jekyi and Mr.. Hyde"
The attraction for next week will be
q decided novelty, and one OF the
Younger members Of the Peoples stock
company, who has as yet had little op
portunity to display his talents, will Is.
sume the leading role. The gentleman
referred to is j. G. Callahan, a bright
young actor, who in personal and stage
manners much resembles W. J. Scan
len, the famous irish comedian. The
play will be that beautiful Irish histori
cal drama in five acts 'tThe Irish Rebel,
or the days of 49," The play belongs
90 the best class Of romantic Irish
dramas and is full Of exciting incidents
and startling situations. Among the
special features will be songs and dances
by Mr.. Callahan and Miss Alice Kemp
and the Irish reel by the whole com
pany. The costumes will be unusually
picturesque, and the scenic settings, it
is promised, will be faithful pictures OF
ireland at the time of which the action
OF the play takes place.

even more popular than last season.
