Happy Pierre.

There are few happier men in Bismarck
than Auditor McManima, who recently re.
turned from Pierre, the victorious capital
candidate of South Dakota. The calm and
serene McManima wears perpetual sun
burst OF joy over his placid countenance
and smiles the smile of successful
boomer when questioned regarding the re-
suscitated city from which he halls.
How are times in Pierre ?" was asked.
"Pierre is the liveliest town in the west"
he replied. sShe won in the capital fight,
as all believers in the eternal fitness Of
things predicted, and now the gallant citi-
zens Of the seat of government are push
zeal.''
"Do you think the railroads will build
from Pierre to the Black Hills at once ?" +
"That is question that 1 cannot answer,
though know that every indication is ia
vOrable to such action on the part of the
companies. Of course the formal opening
may require a little time will have bear
ing on the matter, and it may be several
months before active work can be COM
menced. There can be no doubt of the in
tentlOn of the managers of the roads to.
give the Black Hills the direct communica-
ton through South Dakota and to occupy
the fertile country between the Missouri
river and the hills. Pierre's location makes
her the objective point, and the day Is not
far distant when shelWill not only be a
railroad center, but will be the commercial
distributing point for the vast country
north, south and west for hundreds Of
miles. She is already undergoing inn
prOvements of the most permanent and
substantial character, and her, people are
happy, indeed.0 n NJ ~
Thus spoke the popuiar auditor. and it
was good to look upon his countenance of
contentment and bliss while he discoursed
on the beauties and advantages, prospects
and possibilities of joyful Pierre.

Queer Sights and Things in Vienna.

VIENNA, Sept. 27.-In the new part of
Vienna, which is being built up over the made
ground, is to be seen one of the peculiar in
stitutions of that country, and that is, the
women masons and laborers The whole of
Austria and Bohemia have the same sight,
but it is more noticeable in Vienna because
there is more of it going on in given space.
These women masons are Bohemians dark,
with handsome black eyes, and thick, long
hair, and with grace of motion that comes
from freedom from the restraint of modern
civilization in dress. They wear, while at
their work, short, full, dark blue cotton pet
ticoats and white, long sleeved chemises over
the waist. The sleeves are caught up and
tied over the shoulder by dirty string while
they are at work. A red handkerchief is
loosely knotted around the neck. The skirt
reaches little below the knees Some Of
them wear aprons made of bed ticking and
some wear shoes at work. They wear no
covering on the head, except those who carry
the mortar, and they wear sort of circular
cushion which serves to hold their burdens
These women and girls, some Of them quite
young and pretty, with a healthy red glow
in their cheeks, and others old and with faces
lined and hardened with lines of toll, do all
the work on the building of the houses ex-
cept the wood work. They dig the founda-
tions, load the dirt in carts, then others mix
and carry mortar while the masons lay the
brick foundations, then build up the walls,
and they carry all the mortar up the ladders,
and the bricks, just as do the men in other
countries, only their burdens are carried on
the head or by means of baskets or buckets
slung over the shoulders by ssyoken
Long planks are laid upon trestles, and you
will oF< ",
following each other up the springing plank,
SO high that it makes one dizzy to watch
them, but it is very rare that they fall.
Some of them use the trowel and lay the
bricks as expertly as the men, and con-
tractors say that their labor is in every way
more satisfactory than that of men, as they
are more expert, neater, quicker and more
conscientious in the employ of their time than
the men.
These women are race by themselves and
they are as honest and virtuous as they are
hard working. They marry and work with
their husbands and brothers, and work in
clans and families as much as is possible,
Contractors send for so many workers, and
it does not matter greatly what sex they are.
only they rather prefer the women. They are
always cheerful and sing at their work.

Of the lumber and bricks put up a rude shel-

one or two old women who mix mortar and

couples, one for young girls and the other for
the aingle men to sleep In, and they al Aeep

Base Bali of Ye Olden DAYS.

What revival of memories of the good
old days of two old cat and barn ball there
was in the exciting exhibition given on the
Bismarck ball grounds Saturday afternoon
by the Burnt Creek Tigers and the Reser-
walton Champions. The game was not one
of these narrow, stringy performances
that close with a half-dozen runs, but was
on the broad, old-time plan, which gives
the audience the worth of its money in
runs and shouts. The Burnt Creek team
took the lead early in the game, and won
by q score Of IS to IS. There were many
exciting chases after the ball, and the way
the sphere was pounded over the grounds
was proof of the superiority Of rural
muscle and vim. h
The boys who compose the teams are
gentlemanly and ambitious, and it is hoped
they will be able to play another game on
the grounds before the base bali season
closes.

Fire in the Raymond Block.


At 2 O'clock Friday afternoon Frank
Kihm discovered fire among the old papers
and boxes at the rear of Mason's old store
in the Raymond block, He rushed to his
restaurant for the small .Rabcock fire ex-
tinguisher, which he considered sufficient
to oextinguish the incipienta fire, but when
he returned with help the wooden sheds
and the rear of the block were in blaze.
The Pioneer hose company was soon on
the scene, and, after a slight delay in ad-
justing nozzle, two streams of. water
were playing on the flames. The chemical
engine arrived in time to begin operations
about even with the hose company. The
hook and ladder company was not behind,
and, with three streams ana the able as
sistance Of the hook and ladder company's
axes, the fire was soon under control. At
first it looked as though the block was
doomed, for the flames were making rapid
PROCESS in the rear. and were playing
viciOusly around the rear windows and
doors of the Western Union telegraph Of

not yet missed her.

fast as he could in the direction the
