Bismarcker. One of the most noticeable
features of q trip from the capital city Is
she number of former Bismarckers with

In st. Paul the smiling countenance and
hearty greeting of Capt. j. G. Barr was en-
countered. The captain is still at work on
his patent combination car lock, which is
now very near to perfection. After con-

two-thirds in size and in addition to car
lock he has invented a paddock embodying
all the good features, which in all
probability will be accepted by the gov
ernment for mail bags and postofice boxes.
The captain has good thing and in time
will realize handsomely on this child of
his genius and industry.

Away out at Norfolk, Neb., Frank Moore
and his venerable father were found. happy
and contended, entering into business in
what is one of the best towns in the state
of Nebraska. All old-timers know Frank
Moore of Little Missouri fame and will be
pleased to learn that he is doing we'll.
At Sioux City w. l.. Bradford, at one
time Bismarck's lumber king, is located in
the general Offices of his company, con.
trolling an immense business through Iowa
Nebraska and Dakota. He has become q
great Sioux City boomer and has been al
most weaned from Bismarck. In this, OF
course, he is unfortunate. but he may
recover.
