A Monaghan Napoleon of Finance.

Not many years ago more than fifteen
million mackerel came to New York in a
single week. More than half -a-million
were thrown back into the water, and
good fish could be bought at retail for
less than cent apiece. There was a
golden opportunity, and Moy Sheen Bak,
a twenty old Chinaman, saw it and
seized it. He formed syndicate among
his fellow-countrymen and bought two
million mackerel. These he took to the
Chinese quarter, and employing all the
help he could, he speedily had them pre-
served in various ways in vogue among
the Celestials. The syndicate cleared a
fortune in two weeks, and Moy Sheen
Bak is now rich-Argonaut.

TWO SONGS.

I.
So sweet, SO sweet, she sang, is love,
Lifting the cup to lips that laughed,
Drinking the deep enchantment off,
Fire, spice, and honey in the draught.
So sad, so sad, she sighed, is love,
Bitter the lees, and black the art
That from the deep enchantment wrings
A spell to break woman's heart!

Major Dickey's Industry.

Major Dickey, who is known throughout
theslength and bredth of the Missouri val
ley, came in from Emmons county Mon
day. AS interviews with farmers showing
the crop prospects have become promi-
nent feature OF the northwestern press, the
major was accosted and requested to give
the public the benefit of his observations.
'Why, sir" exclaimed the major in tones
that have SO often startled the trembling
ozone of the balm-kissed slope; 'Why, sir.
it nothing happens to injure the crops they
Will be the most abundant ever harvested
in the northwest. AS for myself am rails
ing crop that beats the world and have
no fears Of a set back. No, it isn't wheat,
nor oats, nor barley-but chickens. Yes
sir, chickens. I have got the finest crop of
spring chichens ever raised and they will
bring more money to the acre than any
crop known to the farmer. 1t is great
year for fowl. One old hen will earn more
money than dozen men. 1 have hens
which are hustling for over seventy-five
chickens each, and neighbor had hen
which beat the record by clucking for 1862,
as you may have seen stated in the Will
Transport Record. Oh, this is a great
country! Beats all out doors! We can
raise anything from chickens to steers and
from sheep to sugar beets. The wheat
crop is immensew And with a careless
wave of the hand the major sauntered
away to greet an d.timer.

The Orators of the Tribes.

The Indians at the Standing Rock
agency have selected the orators who will
represent them during the conference to
be held at the agency IN the near future,
with reference to the opening of the reser-
vation. In the election of these oratorical
representatives the reds had pretty warm
political campaign. Last year they were
represented by Gall. John Grass, Mad
Bear and Big Head. This year the young
men of the tribe-spurred on by the bril-.
liant triumphs of the "young democracy"
and "young republican clubs" decided to
take the political fortunes of the tribes in
their own hands and run the machine to
their own glory and aggrandizement. They
held council several weeks ago, and
elected five young bucks as their orators.
The old warriors did not attend this coun.
Gil, preferring to ignore it and treat the
young aspirants with contempt. When the
time came for action, the old chiefs. head
ed by Gall, began to make things hum.
They bumped themselves in the good old
style. called their tribes together in coun-
Gil, and as result they showed the young
bloods under with ease. The chiefs here
chosen to represent the tribes are: Gall,
John Grass, Mad Bear, Big Head and Eagle

scalpers who will shoot back vocal bombs

A serpentine Problem.

An astronomer from Harvard Observatory
some time ago propounded this problem to
a number of fellow savants: Suppose that
three snakes, each Q feet in length, should
catch each other by the tip Of the tail, thus
making circle feet in circumference
Suppose that each snake should begin to
swallow the one in front of him. In what
way would the resultant figure, after each
snake had swallowed the one in front Of
him, differ from the original circle2 There
were many diverse opinions upon the sub
ject, some Of them entering the consideration
Of the fourth dimension of space, because
any one Of the snakes would have swallowed
the two in front Of him and yet nave been
swallowed by the two in back Of him, and,
therefore, would be both inside and outside

yer place to sell wheat. Mr. Hanson says
i is the last trip to that market, as burnt

ter place to sell wheat. Mr.. Hanson says
| II IS the last trip to that Market as q burnt
child breads the fire.
In his trip to MinOt to dispose Of wheat
M. Hanson says he got better prices from
farmers along the road, than he did al
scarce, and that there is some money afloat
among the farmers; and they will give 75
cents a bushel for frosted wheat for feed
and 40 cents per bushel for oats. Buffalo
bones, he says brings $40 per ton in Minot
and there are thousands upon thousands
home and Minot. But, he says, Minot is
no place to trade at, as groceries, ETC., are
great deal higher than in Washburn, and
marck."
So it will be seen that although the
farmers of Mclean county are complain
ing because of the low prices paid for
wheat they acknowledge that, all things
considered, Bismarck furnishes more de-
sirable market than any other point in the
country. In another and more lengthy
article the Mail takes the Bismarck wheat
buyers to task, and says they are paying
the farmers far below what they are en-
titled to for their wheat. The statement
that there is but one buyer is also made,
and the city is given a general roast be-
cause of this state of affairs. The fact is,
there are two buyers-one the Bismarck
Roller mill, with j. S. Hillyer at the head,
and the other the Bismarck elevator,
under the management Of Captain 1. p.
Baker. Investigation, and conversation
with the buyers, shows that the market
price is being paid for wheat, and some
times the farmer is given more than the
eastern market will warrant. OF course,
there is much dissatisfaction. Farmers
who would not sell last fall when they
could get 80 cents and 81 per bushel, and
who are now compelled to sell at from 50
cents to 65 cents per bushel, cannot be ex-
pected to rejoice over the wheat market.
However, the business men OF Bismarck
owe it to themselves and to the city to in
vestigate the matter, ascertain the
price OF Wheat what can be paid for grain
in Bismarck and see that the farmers get
the full benefit of the market. THE TR1-
BUNE would not mention this matter did it
not feel that the grain market and the
price of wheat is a matter of great public
interest and that it is to the best interest
OF all to have the highest market price
paid the farmers. 1t is also we'll for the
farmers throughout the surrounding coun-
try to know that the people of Bismarck
are interested in their welfare and to learn
that they will always find this the best
market for their sales as we'll as for their
purchases.

The Hostetter Stomach Bitter People
Score Another Point.
In the United States circuit court for the
southern district of New York, Judge
Shipman handed down an opinion few
days ago in the suit of the owners of the
trade marks covering Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters against Arnold Theller and Cornell
Theller, the compounders located on Vesey
street. New York city, in which it was de-
cided that, although the defendants made
use of their own names on the labels
affixed to the bottles containing bitters
prepared by them, yet as they were evil
IDENTIFY designed to initiate the Hostetter
labels, they were infringers, and perpet-
ual Injunction was granted and an account
ing OF damages ordered, together with the
costs of the suit. 1t is the evident inten-
tiOn Of the Hostetter people to protect their
valuable trade mark against all infringers.

The Hotel Question.

The recent false and silly report in the
st. Paul Globe to the effect that Proprietor
BLY, OF the Sheridan house had raised
his rates for the constitutional con-
vention to $500 per day, has aroused some
interest in the question of rates among the
people who desire to be in Bismarck dur
ing the convention, and it is no more than
just to them to make full statement of
the case. The Sheridan house rates for
the convention are:
For one person and room. or for two
persons with room and two beds, each S14
per week; for two persons with one room
and one bed, $24.5O per week for both; for
table board, only $8per week. The rates
are, OF course, for the entire session. For
shorter period the regular rates, $S per
day, will be charged. These rates are uni
form as the comparing of rates by those
having already secured rooms at the Sher-
idan will readily prove.
Nor is it necessary for the delegates or
visitors to stop at the Sheridan. There is
no monopoly in the Bismarck hotel bust
ness. If anyone desires lower rates than
those established by Mr.Bly,he will find five
other hotels in the city, which are as good
for the prices as any in the country. The
Western, Banner, Custer, International and
the Herbert give better accommodation for
their rates, than the hotels of any other
cities in the northwest.
tits useless for envious and malicious
persons to attempt to prejudice the public
against Bismarck on the hotel question.
The rates established by Mr.. Bly, are as
reasonable as those of any other first
class hotel in the country, and the other
houses. including the excellent private
boarding houses, give as much for the
money charged, as any houses west of
st. Paul and Minneapolis.
