The gentleman who wants to organize

manifested in the establishment of more.

ened at a steam whistle last Friday after
noon and started down Main street on a
rampage. John Hommes jumped into the
wagon, grabbed the reinS and succeeded in
checking the animal before any damage
was Done.
A foreign print struck town last Friday.
He was both deaf n dumb and was pro.
vided with a slate and pencil to make his
wants known. He seemed to have plenty
of money. He did not come to work, but
just wanted to get acquainted with the
boys.
A special car containing the members of
the Wisconsin press association, passed
through the city Wednesday attached to
NC: 4. They were singing and playing
and are a jolly set of fellows. They have
seen the wonders of the Yellowstone park
and are now enroute home
A TRIBUNE representative took a SPIN
around the country Sunday afternoon and
found crops generally all right. A great
deal of wheat has already been cut. The
late sOwn wheat has been injured conSid-
erably, but there isn't much of it. Some
fields examined were very ripe. The TRIB-
UNE'S estimate on an average of fifteen
bushels per acre may be considered relia-
Bile.

their farm lands, they will have better

community. There is just the difference

Amos Robidou: Just tell the farmers
through the TRIBUNE that they want to
SOW grain earlier. Late sown grain won't
amount to anything. The late grain now
looks bad, while the early own is gener-
ally all right. | have just threshed 400
bushels of the finest oats you ever saw
got 40 cents a buShel for them without any
trouble at all. Have not commenced to
thresh my wheat, but will in a few days.
The wheat is as good as the oats.
Louis Larson, the Fourth street shoe
maker, who went down to Grand Forks
with the republican delegates, returned
to the city Tuesday. On the return trip
he stopped off at Fargo and went to Wai-
peton to visit a brother whom he hadn't
seen for nineteen years. His brother lives
on a farm three miles from Wahpeton, adj
Joining the big Dwight farm, managed by
Governor Miller. Louis says he had a
good time; wished lie could have stayed
longer and that it's a rich looking country
there.
Extract from Joe Taylor's book: At the
Custer house, in Bismarck, Oak, on the
26th of October, 1888, there came swagger-
ing up to the clerks desk a tall, ungainly,
rough looking man with a Winchester
rifle thrown across his right shoulder,
hand OF the clerk, and as he did so said
with a voice in strange contrast with his
looks: "Take good care of this gun,
stranger; it never fired but one mean shot
since it was made, and that was four years
ago at the Black Hills, when it killed
hummer DAM"
W.. l.. Prior: We do not have very many
cases of death OH the road, but one &C.
Cured the other day at Spokane Falls. l
do not recollect the PERSONS name. but
think he was a prominent man from
Springfield, Ohio. He started for the
coast country for his health, but on arriv-
ing at Spokane he was suddenly taken i'll
and decided to return home. Between
Spokane and Missoula he died. A Mis-
SOula undertaken embalmed the body. The
remains were placed in the baggage car
and shipped back to Ohio.
John White: George Wentworth and
myself took a trip about eighteen miles
southeast of the city last week and we
saw some beautiful fields of wheat, as well
as other grain. The grain WI saw, with
the exception of one or two small fields, is
not damaged. There were, | think, two
hllldll pieces IlhG, upon close examination,
showed signs of damage by blighu. Mr..
Wentworth is with the Bismarck Milling
company and an old hand in the wheat
business, and J have seen many good crops
of wheat. In my estimation the present
crOp will be the best one ever harvested in
North Dakota.
Stanton Pilot: Asa Fisher and E. S.
Neal have been appointed register and re-
ceiver of the Bismarck land office. The
appointments appear to give general salts
faction. The Pilot believes in the old adj
age that to the victors belong the spoils,
but both Rea and Hutchinson have filled
their positions so ably and impartially that
we had hopes that the administration
would allow them to serve out their term,
In our business before the land Office we
have found Mr.. Rea n of the most court
eous and obliging gentlemen we ever met.
We understand that there are no charges
and that their removal is on political
grounds.
Charlie Pierce of this city is something
of a farmer himself. He said last Friday:
l and my partner have 100 acres of wheat
on the John Nichols farm. I put it in last
spring when l didn't have much of any
thing else to do, and if it don't amount
to anything well and good. but 1 think
now it's going to yield immensely. The
wheat is as fine as can be found anywhere
like that sample Wogan brought in the
other day-and, like his, they say mine
