DR.. Kendrick: The fruit crop along
the Jersey shore looks fine this year. The
crops generally are good, but not so
abundant as in North Dakota. I had a
very nice trip and good health up to
last week when 1 was a little under the
weather.
General Hughes: Mayor Bentley is
improving as rapidly as could be expect
cd. The doctors down there are giving
him the best of treatment. They
dressed his wound before I left and
there is little doubt now of his re-
covery.
Word comes from Steele that there
was a light frost in Kidder county Sat-

about half the grain is cut and what is
standing is SO nearly matured that no
loss will ensue unless it be to affect the
grade slightly.
Fargo Commonwealth: Sons of Vet

within the last two weeks. And still the
good work goes on.

ing or mechanical Industries, with a
view to the collection of statistics relat-
ing to such Industries.
Jamestown Alert: Train loads of ties
and rails are reported as being sent over
the 500 line every day, for the extension
of the road. Word comes from Monango

tative information that the special rail-
road rates for the Minneapolis exposi-
ton only extend as far as Fargo. There
will be no reduction from Bismarck or

While Geo. Griffin was operating a
mower Saturday, the horses ran away,
and he became entangled in the guard,
and was dragged for a considerable dist
ance. A frightful cash was torn in one

court dressed the wound, and at last &C.
counts he was resting easy.
The Stutsman county farmers are
publicly warning eastern hunters not to
trespass on their property under penalty
of the law. The farmer has no time to
devote to hunting until the grand har-
vest now being cut is taken care of and
they do not propose to have all their
prairie chickens killed before they and
their families have an opportunity to use
some of them.
Harvery Harris: My wife and I had
a very pleasant visit in Duluth and Su-
perior. Yes, I went fishing, but I have
made a promise to tell no fish stories.
All the ex-Bismarckers are doing fairly
we'll there, but they are very anxious

ever, says he is satisfied, but he would
like to come out and see the harvest.

60 east after the above date and spend a
few months with friends, Mr.. Kihm in
forms the TRIBUNE that he will keep the
billiard rooms open and sell temperance
drinks.
A. H. Pancey in Fargo Republican: I

of North Dakota to inspect it's grain be-
fore it leaves the state. I see no danger
of a blockade. If you watch the in
spectors at Duluth you will see that it
takes but q couple of minutes to inspect
each car. This can be done while the
car wheels are being inspected and axels
oiled and it will not delay trains to any
great extent.
The penitentiary water main has
