The Excursion Line.

Since its advent into the North
western field, about three years ago,
1.-THE Burlington has come to the
front as the favorite line for large eX-
cursion parties. In June 1888, this
line carried the Northwestern dele
gates to the National Democratic
Convention at st. Louis by special
train, to their entire satisfaction. In
the same month 1.-THE Burlington
was the peoples line to the National
Republican Convention at Chicago,
carrying in four days over four thous-
and delegates and visitors to that
gathering. The Knights of Pythias
also selected it as their line to the
Supreme Lodge meeting at Cincinnati.
This year the teachers of Minnesota
and the Northwest selected "The
Burlington as the official route to
their great meeting at Nashville.
The reason is that this is the superior
route for all large parties. For tickets
and rates, address w. J. G. Kenyon,
Gen. Pass. Agent, G. b. & N. r.. r.,
sc. Paul, Mimi, or call on your local
agent.

Let us ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.


i Ithas long been eyident.to our ell
terprlsing citizens, that tile manifest
advantages of Stevens county To tue
immigrant needed only to be told e
the people of the East and other sec
lions, in order that we might nave
the settlement which is rightfully
ours.
At this highly opportune time
Messrs. McCagg & Huston, called Oh
the TRIBUNE to arrange fora write
up of our town and county and our
business interests.
We examined their credentials,
which were OF a high order, and We're
surprised to learn that the mammoth
sheets issued by SOME of our contem-
poraries was the work of these two
gentlemen; accordingly we closed ar
rangements with them and they are
now engaged OH their work.
Their plan is peculiarly their own,
and we must say 1t is the fairest ofany
brought to our notice.
All our business men will be called
upon and gwen 81 chance to be repre-
scented and help in this grand enter
prise, and rs this is matter
in which all are, or ought
to be interested, we hope
that our people will give the matter
substantial aid and encouragement.
We have grand people, grand
record, past, present and prospective,
and by strong pull and a pull alto
gether, we may now do grand work
for ourselves and Stevens county
generally.

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the in-
dividual. Such remarkable event
is treasured in the memory and the
agency whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence ii Is that SO much is heard i'll
praise of Electric Bitters. So many
feel they owe their restoration to
health, to the use ofthe Great Altera-
tive and Tonic If you are troubled
with any disease of Kid
neys, Liver or Stomach, of long or
short standing you will surely find
relief by the use of Electric Bitters.

employed. The total enrolment has
been 1926 names, an increase of 81 on the
previous year. The number of scholars
entitled to apportionment is 261, an in
crease of z, notwithstanding the num-
Der of days attendance has been in
creased from 80 to 40 to be entitled to
apportionment. The Grammer and In
termediate departments were crowded
during the last half of the fall and the
winter terms. So much so that the best
work could not be done. Arrangements
have been made to open an additional
school--a Grammer departmental the
Eastside school building.
The black boards in the school rooms
are poor, although they have cost enough
to be good.
The board decided to try slate black
boards and had one room fitted up with
slate boards.
The slate gave such good satisfaction
that contract has been let for furnish
ing four additional rooms with slate
black boards.
Cisterns have been built at both school
houses.
Additional trees have been set out.
The Eastside school grounds have been
fenced.

trict is $4,000, $4,000 of which has

Sales of Agricultural ImpIe-
rnents.

For the purpose OF ascertainine
something in regard to the sales Of
agricultural implements in our city
this year, as compared with last ) ear,
we visited the different agricultural
establishments yesterday.
Il. A. Callahan reported the sale,
thus far this season, OF seven COM
plcte tlIreshing outfits-engine, sep
arator and all necessary machinery |;
also four extra separators. ALI OF
these machines are from the manu-
factory Of the J. I Case Il. M. Conn
pany. His sales of 9th farming
machinery are cousiderable larger
than last year.
Wolff & Thoele reported that their
sales of self-binders were no larger
than last year, not having made
specially of this machine: but as
regards tile sale Of mowers, Fakes,
plows and other farm machinery their
sales have been much larger than last
season. They have also had u good
trade in buggies.
House & Youngquist have sold 81
self-binders, 10 mowers, 4 steam
threshing machines complete, sixteen
rakes, and $4,000 pounds of binding
Irvine, besides a number OF bnggies
and large number of plows and
other agricultural impiiments.
Now the large sales enumerated
above is a sure Indication that our
farmers have good reason TO believe
that they are to be blessed with album
dant crops this fall; otherwise they
would not Invest SO literally III farm
machinery. We sincerely hope and
believe that they will not be disap-
pointed in their anticipations.
