Bismarck weekly tribune., 1889-01-25
Scattering Shots.

REPRESENTATIVE A1KENs, who has
been sick for several days, was able to re.
turn to his seat in the house Yesterday,
much to the qualification of his admiring
colleagues.
IT is hoped that the gentlemen from
Fargo will feel better this evening. We
say this with all due respect for the feel
ings OF Father McHugh, the rosy Hiber-
man from Cavalier county. whose tactics
yesterday blasted, temporarily at least, the
hopes of the Fargo delegation.
WELCOME back, Senator Lowry, thrice
welcome. Thy Roman face: thy towering
form; thy Plymouth Rock hat and cloak Of
revolutionary grandeur-all bring back to
DakOta's legislative gathering the dignity
and cherished memories which have been
sorely missed since thy departure. We'll
come, Senator Lowry.
SPEAKING of the third house, Bismarck
has a weather prophet-Prof. Robidou-
who is one of the most widely known
members of that body, and we desire 10
suggest that he be called upon for report
as chairman of the committee on astrOn-
omy. 1t is about time for him to predict
an open winter.
SENATOR MILLER made his first genuine
oratical effort in the Council yesterday and
we take this opportunity to congratulate
him upon the successful manner in which
he added one more to the list of able tread
on-the- tail-'o-me coat debaters OF the legis-
lative body. 1t is safe to assume that Sen
ator Miller has a full and complete supply
of buzz-saws for use in case of emergency,
REPRESENTATIVE ADAMS has refresh
ing faculty of getting at the heart of ques-
tion without wandering overthe circuit-

City for Fargo as the location for the con-
stitutional convention yesterday afternoon
he fairly took the breath from the mem.
bers who were wondering how long they
could dodge the bugaboo.
JOHN HAGGART, N. l.. Shattuck and
Vincent Stone form trio of rustlers hard
to beat, and the fact that they were struck
a t rrific blow on the jugular vein yester.
day afternoon does not make it safe to bel
that they will not be dancing on the
corpses Of their opponents before sundown
We are watching this fight with no small
not hippodrome.
THE FOLLOWING message was received
from Captain Dan Yorkey last evening.
