in the time card of the Northern Pacific

Folsom, were bound west to. day in the
NOrthWest's special car. Dickinson will
be the next town illustrated and writ
ten up.
The prediction that wheat will not 20
much higher may have the effect to bring a
large amount Of grain to the Bism arck
market, as the prices reached are far be-
yond the hopes Of the most enthusiastic
wheat growers of a month ago.
| The citizens of Bismarck will be pleased
te learn that Carl Paterson, for so many
years one OF the city's most popular young
business men, Is now doing well in Liv-
the drug business. Mr.. Peterson is once
more neck and neck with fortune, %
The argument of the Northern Pacific
tax cases before Judge Rose in this, city
next week will attract a large numberot
attorneys. county commissioners and tax
payers. The issue will be between the
| Northern Pacific railroad company and
the counties within the land grant, through
which the road does not pass.
The ladies of Bismarck who contributed
| to the relief of the destitute Swede family
in the country will no doubt be interested
to learn that an infant daughter has re-
Mrs. Linda W. Slaughter (the doctors
wife who was the attending physician), at
once christened "Frances Willard Cleve-
land.'
Treasurer Lawler's family will soon be
! located in their Bismarck home; it is said
that Mrs. Secretary Mccormack will reside
in the city during the winter; several
prominent legislators (whose election is a
foregone conclusion) will bring their wives
ciety will be exceptionally brilliant while
the sOlOnic statesmen scintillate and radiate
in the Missouri slope metropolis.
The time has come when the coal question
is one of Importance and the development
OF the East,river coal fields is a much dis.
cussed question. The fact that the coal
has been tested in several of the l,rge
cities of the country of late and that it has
proven complete success is very encourag-
companies are now being organized for the
purchase and development of these mex
haustible fields of fuel.
The Manitoba road will put on through
fast passenger train from St Paul to Helena
this fall. The Northern Pacific will meet
this time with its present splendid equip
ment and next spring will run a yestibuled
| fast train which will surpass in magnifi-
cence any train in the United States.
| This is good news to the people of the en-
tire northwest. The competition of these
two great systems will give the people of
the new northwest The finest railroad
accommodations in the country.
Lieutenant Gilman, who recently ar
rived from the east, regrets very deeply
that his electric street railway will not be
in operation for the accommodation of the
distinguished law makers who will assem-
bic in the city next January. However, the
railway will beIconstructed Although the
| visiting solons will not have the pleasure
of riding in its palatial cars the citizens of
Bismarck will in the near future revel i'll
| the luxury OF being snatched over the
streets by electricity. Lieutenant Gilman
has not lost faith.
jamestown Alert, 1st: The Alert is in
receipt Of letter from citizen of Man.
dan in regard to white man living in
Jamestown with colOred woman. The
letter states that they have been SO living
! in jamestown about three weeks, and that
the man has left his lawful wife in deli
cate health with two small children-one
a nursing baby-in destitute circumstances
and they have been compelled to apply to
friends for assistance. ''The women is not
able to work." the letter continues, land
we propose to see that the man supports
his children. There is apparently no OBJ
struction in Dakota to the ama}gamatiOn
of the races, but this seems to be case
where the intervention of officials should
occur.
