unbounded admiration for great man

with equal thanks. Those who have the
privilege of his friendship. and the right
to know, know that he is looking far
ahead for the welfare Of North Dakota
and for the people who live here now and
who are to come. Those who know what
Mr.. Mckenzie has done and is doing
for the best interests of the
new state rely on his good judg-
ment and have faith in the result.
Without an Office and declining them all,
he continues to work for our interests
where his efforts counts the most. With-
out doubt, the people of North Dakota
would turn in and send him-the one man
above all others-tO the United States SEN

would consent himself.
To talk with Alexander Mckenzie is to
learn something. NarrOwness and mean

with him. He leaves man with broader,
wiser views and, il the metal to compre-

bigger ana better things.
The Alert s-steadfast for Alex. McKen-

What Kind of a Man is Rice ?


Mandan Pioneer: 1t is to be presumed
that Mr.. E. C.iRice will forthwith resign as
a member OF the republican committee of
this county, after his announcement in the
democratic convention yesterday that he
intended to bolt the regular nominee of the
republican convention for Judge. Mr..
Rice was candidate for the position of
judge himself, and he had the support of
Morton. Oliver and Mercer counties in the
convention. The gentleman who made
the nominating speech for Mr.. Rice in the
nation of Mr: Winchester be made unani-
nous, when he saw that Mr.. Winchester
not look well for Mr.. Rice, who is now
holding two Offices by the grace of the re-.
publicans of this city and county, and who
is a candidate whenever there is anything
to run for, to come out and bolt the ticket,
he will soon be candidate again for
something. He was candidate for the
constitutional convention, was fairly
knocked out in the convention and bolted.
He was candidate for the judgeship, was
knocked out and bOlted. He will in all
probability be candidate for the legisla-
ture, and If he gets knocked out, he will
probably bolt again. 1t is getting to be
about time to conclude that Mr. Rice be-
longs in the democratic party. He has no
claim on Republicans in his perpetual
Office seeking any longer. We hope that
the democrats may have much Joy Of their
new acquisition.

Sensational Ru,nors.

The rumors from Standing Rock regard
ing the illness of John Grass are of the
most sensational character, but no verifi-

been reported that Sitting Bull is accused
of poisoning Grass because of the latter's
action in influencing the Indians to sign
away their lands, that Bull has been
placed under arrest and that threats
Of violence are made against him by the
Indians. AS the military wire between
this point and Standing Rock has been

been received and it is believed that the

Our H Handsome Base Ballists.

The Bismarck base ball club is COM
posed of young gentlemen who are not
only athletes of accomplishment, and base
ballests of ability, but whose personal
qualities and pulchritude are of the high
est order. They will leave for Grand
Forks next week to enter upon series of
contests with the leading clubs of the Red
River valley and before departing it was
deemed proper and appropriate by their
friends that they should be photographed
in uniform that during their absence and
in future years their friends and admirers
may have something to which they may
point with pride and say: "There is our
team. In obedience to this desire on the

To be convinced that Bismarck is the
most desirable business point in the
country-that her future holds more of
promise and encouragement than that of
any town or city in the west, that there is
more satisfaction and contentment in
life here than in any young and growing
city of the land-to be convinced beyond all
doubt of these obvious and undeniable
facts, it is only necessary to converse
with those who go out into the
great world of commerce and con-
tests, poverty and strugglers for bread,
to find more desirable point. Have you
conversed with any of these? Have you
asked any of these gentlemen who have re.
turned from their searches for the land OF
milk and honey what they think of the
situation? If not, keep your eye on the
personal column of the TRIBUNE and
when Bismarcker who goes abroad re-
turns, see him and hear his story. They
all talk alike. There is but one story.

no place visited by him offers such induce

A Black Cap sensation.
[From sundays Daily.l

[From sundays Daily.l
The Missouri slope has ever been abreast
with the times in all that is metropolitan,
modern or sensational, but it was hoped
that she would escape an invasion OF
black caps. The report brought from the
country yesterday by Mrs. Mary Scott
buries this hope forever and gives the peo-
pie of this enlightened and progressive
community to understand that the most
modern OF all reformatory bands of cranks
or prosecutors has invaded their county.
Mrs. Scott came to the city yesterday bring
ing with her a letter which was received
from the White Caps. She is a lady over
fifty years Of age and although somewhat
excited with rage and indignation, she
showed no signs of fear. She was accom-
panied by her husband ana both are well
known to the business men of Bismarck as
they have resided on their farm near Dris-
coll for number of years. The following
is a copy of the letter which she received: /:
SPRING HILL PosToFFIcE, Aug. 2.-Mrs.
Mary Scott, Madam: This is to notify you
that you will be dead woman before
long, if you don't stop talking. about people
duU pGUplcS > d4dlISs ~
We heard you making the most slander-
GUS attack upon your neighbors and that
without any ground. And once more-if
you don't quit it right away you will be-
fore long be dead woman.
A WHITE CAP.
The postmark on the letter shows it was
mailed at Steele.
Mrs. Scott is far from reticent on the sub
lect of cause. She says she has we'll
founded suspicious as to who sent the letter
or instigated the outrage. In conversa-
tiOn yesterday she said that a certain man
who lives in her nelghborhood, and who
is now member Of the school board has
for a number of years been living with a
lewd woman, who came from st.
time the woman was in a delicate
condition as result of her relations with
the man and their conduct became mat
ter of public scandal. This gay and frisky
individual was recently elected member
of the school board, and Mrs. Scott says
she made the remark that ii they would
send to Bismarck and get few more
women of loose character the board would
be complete. Mrs. Scott is firmly of the be-
lief that her protests against the conduct
of the man and woman referred to were
the provocation for the white cap let
ter, and feeling that she is in the right she
does not fear the threat. Another tell-tale
piece of evidence is the handwriting of the
letter with which the people in her neigh
bOrhOOd are not strangers.
This Is the first Outcropping of white
caps in Burleigh county or in North Da-
kota and the authorities should lose no
time in bringing the guilty parties to light.

Much BETTER Than Expected.
From Sunday Daily.]
The reports that come in from all parts
of Burleigh county give abundant proof
that crops of all kinds are much better
than was expected several weeks ago.
Joseph Dietrich returned yesterday from
an extended trip through the northern por-
ton of the county and the way he de-
scribes the crops and the condition of the
farmers is enough to make the most en-
thusiastic boomer Of olden days take q
back seat and remain silent. He says
that farmers are getting from to 10 bush.
els of No. 1 hard per acre where they had
given up the crop as a total failure. AS
for corn he declares that it is d success in
all parts of the county, and he saw some
fields equal to anything eyer grown in
Kansas, Illinois or Iowa. 4 4
Farmer Cavanaugh, of the Fort Rice
reservation, was in the city yesterday and
gave good report Of his section Of the
country. He confirms what Mr.. Dietrich
said about the corn crop and put in good
word for wheat.
oxen, known throughout the valley as the
jolly Josh WhitcOmb of the slope. was
painfully serious on the crop question.
His wheat crop was supposed to be a total
failure. 1t came from the thresher Thurs
day-ten bushels to the acre, No. hard.
James Mcbride, the bright-eyed Hiber
nian yeOmaD, has twelve bushels per acre
and says that country that will do this
in a season such as has been experienced
sgood enough for him.
And SO they come. The reports are all
good. Vegetables. such as never were
raised in any other country on earth, are
being brought to market, corn that would
