Exit E. s. Walker.

Il u
The good people of Mandan are somc-
what stirred up over the sudden disappear
ance Of E. s. Walker, for q number Of years
one Of the prominent employees Of the
Northern Pacific at. that point. Walker
was yardmaster for a time and has held
numerous positions of responsibility and
trust. He was one Of the leading society
men Of the town and was conspicuous in
all gatherings of note. This adds all the
more to the interest in his departure, which
was without notice to his creditors, who
claim that he went as he did to escape
them. 1t is reported that he owes over
$500 in Mandan, and that on the night be-
fore his departure he added to his debts by
the purchase of an OvercOat One of his
creditors was about to swear out a warrant
for his arrest for obtaining money under
false pretenses, when he discovered that
although he had been deceived, he had
poor grounds for .'false pretense" case
and decided to await the action of the
fates.
What Wr. Walkers intentions or motives
were is difficult to say, but that the people
of Mandan are figuring up their losses:
there is no doubt. 1t is hoped that they
will be happily disappointed by the return
of Walker. who if he does return, will
make it lively for those who are now after
his scalp. Isl

Not Forgotten.

1t is a little quiet in Bismarck at present.
There is no boom in real estate; no crazy
spectators are tumbling over each other
in an attempt to purchase capital city
property, and night is not made hideous by
the parading of brass bands which are al
ways inseparable from boom. None of
the symptoms of boomiphobia are noticea-
BILE and the mercurial citizen who is never
happy unless surrounded by the most bed
lamistic excitement, is inclined to mourn.
Not so with the sober, level headed busi-
ness men and solid Bismarckers who are
doing well, living happily and enjoying
the confident hope that in the near future
the city will move rapidly toward her
proper place among the cities of the west.
A prominent citizen of Minneapolis, who
was here during the last week, said. when
asked his views regarding Bismarck:
"Why, my dear sir,there can be no differ
ence of opinion among sensible men. Bis
marck must be an important center. True,
you are experiencing quiet times at pres
ent A succession Of poor crops has dis.
couraged immigration, and it looks gloomy
to the man who has not provided for the
future. But is it not fact that similar
setbacks have been experienced by every
town or city of consequence in the land?
Certainly. WHAT are your resources
Why sir, you can raise the best crops in the
world il they will give you water-and
you will get it through irrigation within
three years. It now the finest cattle and
sheep country on the face of the earth
You can raise more wool and better beef
and mutton to the square mile than any
other portion Of the union. You can have
immense slaughtering establishments and
WOOlen fac Ories. canning industries and
tanneries. All these vii. c,.lne and sooner,
too, than you dream. Furthermore you
have many of the best men IL, the country
Interested in your town. Among these
and gentlemen influential in the manage
lnent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad. These men own land here
abOuts, and aside from their financial in
terests they have for years had unbOunded
faith in the town, and have heard them
make the most encouraging predictions re-
garding its future. What does this mean
1t means that men who have the ability to
make this great city are so inclined, and
points, will not see it decline for want Of
ten Bismarck
The distinguished gentleman conversed
in this vein for some time, and closed by
exclalming:
"NO, sir; there is no reason for despond-
ency. Bismarck has seen her darkest days,
prosperous of the growing cities of the
west.'

ASAAA - sASAssS - eSssAA9
Quietly, reverently and with that sweet
delight which is known only to the circle
about the hearthstone, the people of Bis
marck observed Thanksgiving. So COM
pletely did the good old time fanlily-circle
and neighborly-reunion spirit permeate
the community that the hotels were vir-
tually deserted and the entire populace
gathered about the tables of the many
pleasant homes and partook of the feasts
that were spread. Welcomed by the hand
of friendship and surrounded by the
dimpled faces Of the prattling BARNS the
guests were given abundant cause for
thanks, while the hosts found cause for
gratitude in the possession of friends and
the ability to add to their happiness.
With laughter, songs and honest merri-
ment the numerous groups of Bismarckers
passed the joyful hours, and at night when
they retired to the secluSiOn of their rooms,
Overladen though their stOmachs may have
been, they &C uld but feel that in the rounds
Of this tempestu0us life the better instincts
rule and the joys allotted unto man do far
exceed his woes.
Aside from the home reunions there
were several batchelOr parties, at which,
perhaps, the beaker was given an occa.
siOnal bump and the walls gave echo of
the olden songs. The visitors who re-
manned at the hotels partOok of dinners
that would have delighted kings, and. on
the whole, the day was one of pleasure un-
alloyed and sociability unstinted.
THE BALL.
The principal event of the day was the
bali in the Atheneum in the evening, and
here 1T was that the festivities
were given their crown of completion
When it is said that the ball was under
the auspices Of Hose company No. /, and
that it was managed entirely by the fire
men Of the city its success is proclaimed
Bismarck's fremen have yet to suffer theil
first failure in the line of entertainment
The balls given yearly by the companies
of the department are famous for thell
brilliancy and the number that gather Il
join in the enticing exercise. Over eighty
couples participated in the Grand marcel
at 9OclOck last evening, and from tina
hour until long after the Thanksgiv

Bis1marck's Good Fortune.

"Yes," said citizen Of Bismarck Fri
day, while speaking of the numerous dis.
astrous fires which have occurred through
out the country during the year, "Bis.
marck has been very fortunate. There
has been no fire of consequence here for
over two years and considering the num-
Der Of fires that have started, the losses
during the past five years are nominal"
All who engaged in the conversation
agreed. and some expressed surprise that
the loss had not been much greater.
The fact is there is no cause for surprise
when we consider the efficiency of the fire
department and the almost perfect system
of fire protection. Bismarck's firemen
have done some wonderfully effective work
IN extinguishing fires, and at times when
it looked as though an entire block would
be swept away they have confined the
flames to the narrow limits of the building
in which it started. Aside from the we'll
trained and patriotic fire department
the city has 9 system of water
works 5pe BY any city in the
reservoir, and no such thing as delay, be-
cause of an accident to machinery is an
impossibility. The pressure is always on
and the moment the hose is attached to the
hydrant the water may be thrown to the
top of the highest building. With this
system of water works, Bismarck need
have no fear of disastrous fires so long as
they use proper precautions and the fire
department remains in its present state
of efficiency.
One Of the first steps toward safety is to
see that your chlmneys are In good con-
ditiOn and to destroy combustible matter
instead Of pilAg it in alleys OF yards near
your buildings b /

If the prohibition bill now before the
legislature passes, the saloons will be
closed ton January 1st. Now that the
United States senators have been elected
this is the all-absorbing topic of con-
versation. While there is a general
sentiment in favor of the strict
enforcement Of the prohibition clause
when once it is declared to be in force and
effect, the majority Of the citizens seem Of
the opinion that to compel the dealers to
retire from business on January 1st would
be overstepping the bounds of reason. The
constitution provides that no law shall
take effect until within ninety days from
the day Of adjournment of the legislature,
unless in cases of emergency, and then bY
a two thirds vote of the assembly. Busi-
ness men from: Fargo, Jamestown, Grand
Forks and other towns of the state have
been interviewed on this point during the
past week and all are agreed that the pro-
hibiJiOn bill should take the regular course
and 60 into effect on July 1st next, from
which time every viOlatOr should be
promptly punished to the utmost rigOr of
the law. This is the sentiment of those in
Bismarck who have expressed themselves
on the subject, and in all probability is the
view taken by a number Of the legisla-
tors. There will be great interest in the
action of the s0lOns on this question and
during the next two weeks Bismarck will
