A Zig Colony.

J. Blummentriss, of Rochester, N. Y, has
been in the city several days in the interest
of colony of prosperous Germans which
will De located IN northern Burleigh.
Mr.. Blummentriss is young man
of wealth and ability, is thoroughly i'm
bued with the North Dakota spirit and be-
lieves that the land in the Missouri valley
is the most desirable for diversified farm
ing Of any on the continent. The families
that will compose the colony are all we'll
to-do, and will bring with them the means
to establish themselves comfortably in the
fertile valley. They will take up a large
tract of land and start with 5000 head Of
cattle, the herds to be increased yearly.
Mr.. Blummentriss manifested deep in
terest in the country and sent numerous
presents and curios to his friends in
Europe, among these being handsome
pair OF buffalo horns and antelope horns

ing Much Attention.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 1l-[Special.]- II
North Dakota does herself proud In
the splendid exhibit made by the
Northern Pacific railroad at the interna.
tional fair in this city, of products gathered
from the country traversed by the great
transcontinental road. To attempt detail
or specification would be to reprint grain
seed and nursery catalogues. The fine
variety Of seeds furnished by MIR. Will, OF
Bismarck, attract much attention and fav-
orable comment from seed men and
gardeners. The cereals and grams include
nearly everything produced in the north
west and are of unusual excellence for a
dry year and viewed daily by thousands,
eliciting the most curious questions. The
common idea of many people is that
Dakota is so cold and SO far
north, and so forth, that very little
can grow there-tlle fact is the
majority of citizens Of the east know very
little about it, not having unlearned the
LESSONS Of his school day geography that
all the country west of the Mississippi is q
part of the "Great American DESERT
AS whole the Northern Pacific exhibit
is the best of the kind, and for that matter
any kind in the fair. So everybody says,
and what everybody says goes. 1t is a
regular object lesson to an army Of peo-
ple-the grasses. the grains, the vegetables,
the fruits, the minerals, the furs, the skins,
the wools and the woods. all testifying to
the habitability and desirability OF the
vast region from Lake Superior to Puget
Sound, and effectually disproving vague,
unfOunded and erroneous notions most
eastern people have about the northwest.
The exhibit is given under the direction
OF Col. 7. B. GrOat. general emigration
agent of the road, whose interest in the
growth and welfare OF North Dakota
which gives genuine delight, to the ladies
especially, is the numerous artistic designs
more than one hundred-made of grains
and grasses. wish every lady in Dakota
could see them, and emulating the example
decorate their homes. The plainest shack
can be made veritable place of beauty by
the exercise Of a little taste with materials
gathered from the grain fields.
The daily attendance at the fair runs
from fifty to one hundred thousand, and
during its continuance more than a million
human beings will have swarmed through
the buildings to wonder, to question, and
to learn. The whole northwest will profit
by the exhibition, many people learning
for the first time that North Dakota has
passed the crucial test applied to all new
states--in fact before it became state
that of supporting itself. in having enough
to eat and to spare. They learn that the
west not only raises its own bread and
meat, but it is sending away food to hum
cry millions in other lands, besides wool
to clothe their backs and bullion to make
their medium Of exchange.

$4,000 for the Farmers.

The Bismarck creamery-now less than
two years old-will close very successful
season at the end of this month. The
amount of money paid out for cream to
the farmers of Burleigh, Kidder, Emmons
and Mclean counties is ABOUT $4,000 and
the market for the butter has been all that
could be asked. During the past two months
the demand has been greater than the sup
ply, orders being filled by the product Of
other months. The butter has already
ceived from dealers as far west as Helena.
All has been sold with the exception Of
5000 pounds which has been reserved for
the home trade during the winter.

sparing no pains in preparing for the
harvest festival and fair which will be held

mlums prizes will be offered for the best
penmanship. The ladies Of the city are
taking 8 deep interest m the event and will

The Close Game.

The following from the Grand Forks
Plaindealer's report of the second game
between the Bismarck and Grand Forks
teams shows that Freddy" Hill did good
work and that Huber sustainsd his reputa
tion as q pitcher:
The Grand Forks and Bismarck ball
teams met at 1890 o'clock yesterday fore
noon for the first game of the fair series,
and Bismarck won. The visitors had no
snap, however. and were compelled to play
the game. 1t was not generally known
that the two clubs played at the fair
grounds and consequently only q small
crowd witnessed the game. The diamond
was laid out in the field in the center of
the race course and was on very rough
Bray showed up and caught and Munday
pitched: Bray was way off in his catch
and had several passed balls. But one hit
was made by Bismarck in the inning-a
slow one to Reddy Hill, which he beat to
first base. Munday pitched good game
and should have won for his team, but for
the kid work in the first innings. The
home team nearly evened things up, how
ever e by asal some good goo ~, hitting. With two
lined three-bagger over Keys head, scor-
ing two earned runs.
McGrade started in to pitch for Bis
marck. but was handled rather severely,
He stayed for two innings, and then gave
way to Huber, the visitors crack pitcher.
The latter had very sore finger and could
not control the ball. He was batted rather
too large a lead in the first inning. Nc
Grade did good work when men were on
bases. Grand Forks had men on the bases
in every inning, but only two were able to

Balmy Autumn Day. .
The Base Ballists Return From Their
Triumphal Tour Trough the
Red River Valley.
Some Timely Suggestions Regarding
the Crowded Streets ts-The
Rally Personal.
Keep to the Right.

If the people who throng Bisnnarck's
streets will observe q common rule OF
street etiquette and keep to the right the
crowds of hurrying pedestrians will be &C.
commodated and there will not be so many
complaints. The suggestion that the side.
walks be widened would be good one if
it were not for the fact that the walks are
already as well as is the rule in cities under
$4,000 people. If everybody will keep to the
right there will be room enough for all and
no one need be crowded into the street.
If there is anything disgusting, annoying,
aggravating and abominable it is to meet
some wild-eyed pedestrian, who, bursting
from the jostling throng upon the street,
turns to the left and impedes the progress
of the hundreds upon whose territory he
trespasses.
In connection with prominent citizens
who have been jostled about until they
were forced to leave the sidewalk and
wait for a car, this plan was endorsed. G.
81. Phelps said that of course young and
agile man like himself or Colonel Thomp-
son could get along by successful lodging,
but the aged business man like DR.. Brandt,
Professor Kihm and Deacon Goodkind,
should have some protection, while the
OctOgenarians, such as Alex. FrOmme,
black lustre of its youth, should not be
trampled under the feet of the crowded
thousands. ...,.
brought to notice during the con-
versation was that of the "smoke
nuisance" Messrs. Moorhouse, Van
Houten, Frisby, Beals and Hollem-
question when E. 81. Bly, appeared upon
the scene and endorsed all that they had
said in condemnation of that pol
icy which permits the smoke
from factories, mills and fOundries to roll
into the very homes of the people and hang
in impenetrable clouds above the city to
rob the Children Of the blessed sunlight.
Gil should take some steps in the matter at
once.
With regard to the scheme for construct
ing cable line on Meigs street Colonel
Brown stated that as for himself, j. P. Dunn
and the other young and progressive men
who live along the street, they would fight
any such a scheme to the bitter end.

grasping schemers should be allowed to
ruin it to satisfy their insatiate and damna-
BILE greed. [Applause.l

The Base Ballists Return.
rErom Hatnrf7av,a no;lv


The victorious base ballists returned
from Grand Forks yesterday and were
given royal greeting at the train. Their
friends and admirers gathered at the depot
and as they stepped from the train an ad-
miring crowd gave three rousing cheers
for the champion base ball team Of North
Dakota. Those who arrived were Messrs
Huber, Cannan, McGrade, Barnes, Locke
and Manager Falconer. John Wallace
also base ballist of merit, returned with
the team, having been in attendance at the
fair. Hill went to Minneapolis and Larrabee
to Wahpeton. The boys speak in the high
est terms of the work done IN their interest
by Gerald Pierce and say they would have
been given purses sufficient to have been
saved from loss if it had not been for
certain opposition. AS for the
last games. Of the series. they are
of the Grand Forks team, who by their
continual and inexcusable kicking, made
it unpleasant for the visiting team, dis
agreeable for the audience and torture for
the umpire, Dan. Y orkey, who is resident
OF Grafton and friend to Grand Forks.
Aside from this, the club had good
time, and returning as they do with the
championship of North Dakota, have
reason to be magnanimous.
The weather was very unfavOrable,
which accounts for the financial loss of
about $2O0 to The Bismarck association. To
make good this loss, several games will in
all probability be played on the home
grounds before the close of the season.

Crushed ON the Bridge.

VIM. Frank, of Chicago, aged %, was
seriously injured and narrowly escaped
death last Friday afternoon while crossing
the Northern Pacific bridge. He was
walking on the bridge when he was over
taken by train and knocked down. He
was thrown in such position that two of
and one of his legs was badly bruised. The
toes were amputated by DIR. Porter and the
injured man was taken to the hospital.
Frank is not looked upon as professional
tramp, but as man out of work and in

the members Of the ball club of that city
without gloves for their kicking and baby
acts. In describing the last game which
resulted in score of 13 to 4 in favor of
Bismarck, the Plaindealer says: Huber
and Hill were the Bismarck battery. and
they did fine work. Huber struck out
twelve FOrkers in seven innings and
Freddy" Hill excelled himself throwing to
bases with splendid accuracy.
Dan Yorkey umpired for a short time
until he became disgusted and tired out.
per" Dan is splendid umpire and it is
seldom he gets rufled. but any ordinary
mortal could not have umpired nine such
innings as those played yesterday.

usual. The following is the score. %
