O. Lodge and wife, j. Dinsdale and
wife. friends of Kit Dinsdale and
Charley Stamp, arrived here Wednes-
day, direct from England. They will
file upon government land and join
the ranks of the prosperous farmers
of Stark county.
The contract for the survey, OH the
west side of the Missouri river, of the
st. Paul, Black Hills and Pacific X. r.
has been signed and Chief Engineer
Richards. of that road, is now max
ing a reconnoiter from Mandan and
will soon be ut Dickinson for the
same purpose. in advance of the IL
veying corps that will he in the
field in a few days. The road is
not to be a direct one from Mandan

inson and New England City, or some
point in that vicinity. l. included in
the scheme. The road will run
through to New England City from
Dickinson and then on to the Hills,
and the branch from Mandan will pro-
coed to New England City and there
connect with the main line from
Dickinson. 1t is expected that the
dirt will be flying on the grade by the
first of November.
From Wednesday morning till Fri
day night the sky was obscured
by one vast sheet of gray cloud and
the rain fall has been intermittent;
sometimes drizzly %sprinklings and
then heavy, drenching down pours of
the aqueous fluid. The country had
been somewhat in need of moisture
but now the ground is saturated and
there is enough to last u long time,
placing the crops beyond any danger
from drouth. The GOODNESS which has
resulted from the precipitation re-
moves the danger that might have
been apprehended from hail. Thus
far the weather has been similar to
that of the season of 1884. in which
was harvested the most bounteous
crop since Stark county was settled.
At a regular meeting of Fort sum-
ter W. II. corps, No. 81, the following
resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t is with sadness we
are called upon to announce that death
for the first time since our organizl-
tion has taken from our midst Il wor-
thy and beloved member, Mrs. Mary
Rowe.
RESOLVED, That we deeply sympa-
thize with the bereaved husband and
children in the loss of an affectionatc
wife and loving mother, that the
promises we find scattered along our
pathway here will enable them to look
beyond and weep not. rs those who
have no hope:
RESOLVED, That while VIC rever-
ence the acts of divine providence. we
shall feel deeply the loss and shall
fondly cherish the many virtues of
our deceased sister:
RESOLVED. AS Il token of respect
for the memory of our departed sister
our charter be draped in mourning for
the space of sixty days, that these
resolutions he placed upon the min
utes of this corps, that they be pub
lished i'm the DICKINSON PRESS and a
copy sent to the bereaved family.
