The jamestown Alert says that it is
quite likely that a special daytime train
will be run over the Dakota division to
Bismarck on the occasion of the inaugural
ball January 9TH. At least, an attempt to
erect such an arrangement is now being
made. Fargo and Cassetton will send
large delegations to the ball and il the
special train is secured there will be 9 large
attendance from those cities. Preparations
for the ball are being made on a'large scale

the proposition. No matter about politics,
there will be but n sentiment as REGARDS
the inaugural ceremonies. All the citizens
will contribute to the success of the event.
Their differences in politics will make
music for the boys after the inaugural.
