A Bismarcker ct Grand Forks last week
gave vent to his pent-up feelings thusly:
Everything is serene in Bismarck now
very SERENE" This Bismarcker is not an
old-timer, consequently he does not know
what is going on in the capital city. True,
In certain channels matters are somewhat
calm and serene. There have been no
railroad strikes, serious accidents or social
eruptions reported Of late, but Bismarck is
just now in the midst of a political nael-
strom which is of sufficient magnitude to
furnish excitement until after election
time. There are more politicians and
scheming to the square inch than mosque
tos in the swamps Of Apple creek. Every
man is intent on penetrating the inner
most secrets of his brother. Street corners
and hotel corridors swarm with wire pull
ers. How is it all going to end? The
grand finale will be %anxiously awaited. In
the meantime the fun is progressing. rich,
rare and racy. Isn't this enough excite
ment for the Bismarcker who leaped be-
fore he looked? While the band plays
annie Rooney" with the latest variations
we will ring down the curtain on the po-
litical scene.
Speaking about the band reminds the
TRIBUNE that it failed to make its usual
Saturday evening appearance last week.
1t is understood there was some misunder-
standing and that it won't occur again.
Bismarck has a band that she can we'll
feel proud of n the citizens are giving it
liberal support.
On the sidewalks. walls and bill boards
last week were noticed in red chalk marks
a group of queer fgures-a sort of division
problem-all Of them alike, and it was par
ticularly noticed they were placed in con-
SpicuOuS places where people are likely to
congregate. This is the mode of the
knights of Labor for calling a meeting.
After many threats it is now a settled
fact that Bismarck will have a new daily
paper. The date for the initial issue has
not been announced, but that it will issue
is assured. The question is will it be
democratic or independent?
Father Martin, BiSmarck'S new priest,
was in jamestown last Sunday to see
Bishop Stanley. The priestly kaleido.
scope has taken another turn. Instead, as
announced, of Father Wolfgang resuming

that position. Father Martin is the heavi-
est and tallest priest Bismarck has ever
had.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. M. Tuttle and DR.. and
Mrs. Coe have returned to Mandan after
an absence of several weeks, the former
couple having been junketing in the east
and the latter seeing the sights of the Pa
cific coast country. DR.. Coe writes inter-
estingly of his trip. Tuttle ditto. During
Mr.. Tuttle's absence the Pioneer has been
under the editorial charge of Mr.. Albert
Sydney Jones.
The latest circus on the boards is the
North Dakota legislature, which assemblies
with the coming of the new year.
Mr.. E. Van Houten will lead the song
service at the Baptist church Saturday
evening.
The crop of prairie chickens this year is
unusually good, though the records some
times made by Bismarck nimrods are
slightly oyerdrawn. Those who are
familiar with the country and know
where the chickens roost always return
with a good load.
