rubbers are certain to lose them If they at.
tempt to walk in the mud, which is un-
avOidable, as mud is everywhere. l have
good times here, 20 to lots of dances, ETC.,
but l often wish I was back III dear old
Bismarck again, where there is hardly any
mud in summer and plenty Of snow for
sleighing in the winter" She is evidently
hOmesick.
State Treasurer w. F. Smith of South
Dakota was in the city Wednesday, accom-
panied by Messrs. j. A. Trow and s. M.
claims before the joint commission for the
state normal school at Madison.
The contest cases are moving along
slowly. A deal of legal oratory is daily
wasted, and a frightful amount of kerosene
Is nightly burned. The Minneapolis Jour-
nal says the old adage is verified: "When
mothers-in law fall out we get at family
facts"
Pronounce the name of Professor Koch
"COgh," If you please. Sound the 80" a lit
tie broader than in college," and expel
the Ugh" sharply in the form of a gutteral
breathing. If you find this process too

translation of the lame.
The Missouri river has risen six inches
~ Iiio Aaot 10" udyS. T. y. 6lIOTu, Cno
bridge Waterman, measures the depth of
the water regularly twice a day. The
deepest portion of the river now is but
twelve feet at the third peer. The Big
Muddy is very c%hangeable. In some spots
where the water was formerly thirty feet
deep, it is now but ten or twelve.
Austin Logan: Those %garrulous ad-
vance agents ought to be muzzled. They
20 from place to place taking huge de-
light in roasting the towns they have
recently left, and seem to particularly
marck. Bismarck is a quiet, peacable lit
tie city, harming nobody, and l don't see
why outside people can't leave us alone.
A grotesque looking individual clam
bered from the train Wednesday morning
and strobe up and down the depot platform
for a few moments inhaling the pure
spring-like atmosphere now prevalent Oh
the slope. He was fully six and a half
feet in height and wore big, clumsy boots,
way down. The loungers gave him the
laugh, and he escaped back to his car.
l.. N. Griffin writes from Fairhaven that
he will be home for Christmas dinner with
his family, who have been packing up
their household effects in expectation Of
soon joining Mr.. Griffin out in Washing
ton. They will probably bid adieu to Bis
marck soon after the holidays. The delay
in removing has been occasioned by his
difficulty in securing a suitable residence
at Fairhaven. The Grifins will be sadly
little miss who has q large circle of warm
friends. Miss Maggie Richie will proba-
bly, accompany them.
Judge Bowen, the heretofore enthusiast
tic nimrOd, has renowned his allegiance to
a sportsman's exciting lie and will be
content hereafter with being a quiet,
every day citizen. The judge and Oscar
Ward have just returned from a ten days
hunting expedition near Washburn, where
deer are plentiful, but they succeeded in
killing but three deer in the ten days-One
buck and two does, which are now at
Wards house. At Washburn Bowen
yanked off his any hunting coat in dis
gust n handed it to a friend saying
Here, take the blamed thing, I'll not wear
another one again."
The district court has been in session
eight days, and during that time it has
disposed of a large amount of business.
There were fifty-tive cases on the calendar,
besides a number OF criminal cases. Of
these ffty-tive cases, thirty-seven have
been disposed Of. There have been several
jury cases tried, and the business Of the
court has been expedited with more than
usual speed. Tomorrow is the day set for
the trial of the case of BLY, VS.. Healy, and
after this case is disposed of the jury will
probably be dispensed with. Judge Win
chester has made it a point to get through
with the work of the jury as rapidly as
possible, so as to save expense to the
county.
Major Mclaughlin was up from Stand
Ing Rock Wednesday with Il. NJ. Reedy Of
Pine Ridge an old time friend. The major
and Mr.. keedy have been working together
at the Indian agencies of the northwest
for a great many years. They report
everything quiet and serene as usual at the
agency, though Sitting Bull still sticks to
river. The dance, however, will cease with
the coming of cold weather or a blizzard.
Sitting Bull refuses to come in for his ra-
tons and acts sullen and defiant. Major
Mclaughlin can take him into custody
without any trouble should the wal de-
partment demand the old frauds arrest.
Mr.. Reedy leaves to-day for the coast coun-
try.
In order to %enlighten those who are in
thorities in sending White Arm, the In
dian back to Fort Berthold, the TRIBUNE
will say that the district attorney was un-
able to find sufficient testimony to convict
him of the assault and that it was the
general belief that White Arm was not the
guilty party. However, an understanding
was had with Major Murphy that the right
Indian will be forthcoming from BerthOld
as Mr.: Murphy thinks he knows who com.
mitted the crime and will bring him to
justice at the proper time. Mr.. Murphy
came to Bismarck last week for that pur-
pose. taking White Arm back to his camp
ing grounds.
