Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1890-10-17
T H E CITY.
IN BRIEF.

"
Judge Winchester will hold court in Oil
yer county on October 23d, at 9 a. M. and
IN Mercer county on the oath at 9 a. n.y.
The rain of the past two days, aside from
putting out the prairie fires, will be of in
calculable value to the farmers who have
fall blowing to do.
John Beals, from 100 acres in wheat,
got an average yield of eighteen bushels.
Part of his land produced twenty-three
bushels to the acre. Dakota will be to the
front yet.
Denny Hannifn rises up to remark that
there are two alternatives left for candi-
dates between now and the 9th of Novem.
ber-'climb on the band wagon or get on
the hearse."
Ed Adams, the sheep raiser near Memo
ken, put in ten acres of wheat last spring
for pastime, and his u Melted him 22O
bushels of wheat. Who says Dakota farm
ing doesn't pay?
The TRIBUNE is in possession of much
good news for Bismarck, the disclosure of
which would be premature at this time.
Never was the outlook more favorable
than now for this city.
The steamer Bachelor came in from Fort
BerthOld Saturday afternoon. She met
the Abner O'Neil on the way down en-
route to Washburn for a load of grain-the
fourth trip of the season.
The Sioux Indians predict ten years OF
rainy weather. They say the last dry year
ended will this season, and they are max
ing preparations for the deluge by moving
their teepes to higher ground.
The volunteer crop on the Mike O'Shea
place was sold for 81 an acre standing.
How much it yielded has not been learned,
hnt II iS fair tn cnnnOSa tho tQrmnr who
bought knew what he was buying.
Hunters are beginning to make it I'M
comfortable for deer along the river. The
funerals are few, but the constant firing
has a tendency to make the wary creatures
nervous and distant in their department.
There are rumors rife of better days in
store for the capital city. The slope may
yet become a manufacturing center for the
northwest on account of its cheap fuel,
and the improved method in burning it.
Rev. M. Spangberg desires to return
thanks through the TRIBUNE to the pa
irons of the auction for the benefit of the
church. The total receipts were 1917. and
the amount will be used to advance the in.
terest of the church in the capital city.
The C%hautauqua circle met with Miss
Cantwell Monday night at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Wagner on Second
street. 1t was the second meeting of the
circle since its organization and the even
ing was pleasantly and protitably spent.
Governor Miller has pardoned John and
Harriet Dilley from the penitentiary. Both
are old people and their term would haye
expired next month. AS they wanted to
GO to friends in Wisconsin before cold
weather, it was thought best to let them
go.
Mandan Times: D. w. Blackford is in
Mandan looking after his farming inter-
ests. Mr.. Blackford is assistant superin-
tendent of the document room of the
United States senate, but still retains his
interests in Morton county. His farm is
near Rock Haven.
1t is said the contest for commissioner
ship nomination on the republican ticket
lies between L. W. Griffin and Farmer
Richards. The farmer and his country
friends argue that the city has enough Of
the offices now without taking the two yet
to be nominated-assessOr and commits
sioner.
A farmer: 1t is rumored that a job has
been put up by somebody in town whereby
a MAI out in the east end of the county is
to be nominated for assessor in the first
district who last year tore off the entire
county ticket and said "there was not a
man on it tit to vote for.' What do you
think of tbatq
The weather of the past few days has
been exceptional, and no fall in the MEM
DRY of the oldest of old timers has equalled
it. One OF the early settlers said Monday
that when ne hrSt came to the country the
need of a rubber coat was never felt, but
the past few days have been wet enough to
soak a fish brand.
Some people are born with luck. Buck
McGarYey noticed on a piece OF land near
him that a volunteer crop was showing in
good condition last summer. He wrote to
the wner of the land that such was the
case. and he told Buck" to harvest it. He
did so, n he sold over 500 bushels of
wheat at 70 cents a bushel. A handsome
present, wasn't it.
The penitentiary board, at their meeting
last Tuesday, rejected all proposals for Iig-
mite coal and instructed Trustee A. NJ.
Packard and Warden Dan Williams to buy
the 500 tons needed on the most favorable
terms possible. If arrangements can be
made SO that the coal can be furnished by
farmers in sufficient quantities a large
part will be bought from them.
Sunday Rev. c. F. Bollinger preached his
farewell sermon in the Methodist church..
Mr.. BOllinger came to this charge in search
of health: The change of climate has not
proven Of much benefit, and he now leaves
for his home in Virginia to take a needed
rest from active work. While here he has
endeafed himself to all Bismarckers, and
with him goes a heartfelt wish that a COM
plete recovery of his health will follow the
change.
The rain of the past few days has been
very Misrepresentation candidates. 1t has
been too damp and chilly to lie in wait for
the u"nsuspecting farmer, and the farmer
has had time to sit around the hearth ana
ponder over their respective merits. But
the chilly weather gives the boys an ex-
cuse for putting on Mackinaw shirts to
convince the horny-handed that they are
zone of them"
The citizens of Thompson, Grand Forks
county, want a revocation of the permit of
M Frank Loeb, to sell liquors. 1t was
shown in the county court that the drug
gist had made nearly 700 sales Of liquor
during one month, all of which were al
legged to have been for medical use and the
purchaser made affidavit in each case that
the liquor was not intended for a bever-
age. Verify, prohibition is a great thing
for the druggists.
Pioneer Press: A number of special
agents of the land department gave a ban
quet last Saturday night at Huron in honor
OF their chief, G. A.. Lounsberry. After
supper tOasts and responses were had, at
the close of which j.. N. Jones of Red
wood Falls, MIMI, on behalf of the special
