I Bismarck Tribune: 8. D. Rohrer of
Hancock, Mclean county, presented Henry
Richholt with two white cranes, that are
beauties. They measured seven feet four
inches across the wings and five feet ten
inches from the ends of their bills to the
tips of their toes. Henry will have them
mounted. -. Henry Richholt came to the
front with "the biggest" goose. It weighed
sixteen pounds and measured six feet from
tip to tip of wings.

The Washburn Leader exaggerates the
charges on wheat shipped to the Bismarck
! market. The only charges are 9 cents
freight and cent for use of sacks if
promptly returned. The Mclean county
farmer can ship here and have the advant-
age of competitive market, while he
must sell at Washburn for whatever the
Mandan mill wants to pay. There are no
warehouse charges at either end and when
grain is taken off the boats it is unloaded
right into the cars.-Bismarck Settler.
The Settler evidently does not know
what it ia talking about when it says the
Leader exaggerates the cost of shipment
of wheat from Washburn to Bismarck.
We are reliably informed that Mr.. Vent
worth's offer to John P. Peterson, Ole
Evcrson, Bernt johnson and others, for the
use of sacks, was 2 cents a sack per week.
This certainly does not look as though
sacks were free, does it, Mr.. Settler? And
besides this, who pays the 40 cents an hour
for loading the wheat on to cars? The
farmer, of course, who ships on his own
account and stands all the expenses. If
they wish to compete for Mclean county
wheat, and "give the farmer show" why
don't they locate buyer here, as the mill
company has done, and demonstrate their
willingness to engage in legitimate trade.
What the farmer wants here is competition,
actual and real-not wind and promises.

consolidated, the News 4 Stockman hav-
ing suspended. The Independent will
continue under its own name, with W. @.

movement ON the part of those papers, as
the people of McHenry county cannot
afford to support two local establishments
of that character. sTis well.

Dawson Standard: There is consider
able inquiry among the literary class of
this section as to who is writing those ex-
cellent editorials for the Bismarck Tribune
during JEWELS absence. The Standard
knows who is doing it, and it is going to
give 1t away-for the writer is worthy and
Jewell is magnanimous. William Ham
mond, who has been foreman of the Trib-
une news room for so long, is the artist
whose quill ia injecting so many good
things into the Tribune's editorial col
umns.

Swan Hanson, the regular candidate for
commissioner of the third district, is one
of the oldest residents in Mclean county,
and ranks among the best and most
thorough farmers in this section of the
country. He is farmer in every sense of
the word, and is careful, painstaking
manager of his business. He is in no
sense politician, nor has he sought or
desired an Office of any character, always
preferring to care for his own affairs and
leaving the details of public matters to the
attention of those who sought main
tenance and honors through political
channels; but he has always voted right,
or at least, he has always voted for such
measures and such men as he conscien-
tiously believed for the best interests of
the people. BY those best acquainted
with Mr.. Hanson he Is considered one of
therbest men for the Office of county COM
missioner that could have been selected in
the third district. The principle has long
been recognized, that man who is
economical, careful and attentive to the
details of his own business, is a safe man
to trust in the administration of the affairs
Of the public. This is exactly the kind of
q man Swan Hanson is, and the people of
the third district will be consulting not
only their own interests, but the interests
Of the entire county, by electing him to
tho position of commissioner by a rousing
majority. Such men as Swan Hanson can
be relied upon by the people to keep the
fingers of greedy politicians and public
pap seekers out of the treasury vaults of
the county. Now, let the people of that
district lay aside personal and political
an,mosity and nejghborhood piques, and
perform duty to themselves and the peo-
pie at large b.. giving him an emphatic
endorsement at the polls on the Sd of
November,

Farmers, when you go to Bismarck to

Yards, and consult with Isaac Hooper, the
agent. He will sell to you cheaper than
any other man.
~!
A visit among the business firms at Bis
marck, the past week, revealed decided
improvement in all branches of trade and
more cheerful, hopeful spirit displayed
by all classes of dealers; and especially
was this the case with the Gull River Lum-
Der Company, of which Mr.. Isaac Hooper,
esq.,, is agent. This firm has always main
tained steadfast confidence in the supe-
riority and ultimate success of the Mis-
souri, Slope both as an agricultural and
stock raising country, and as an evidence
of their faith in the region surrounding
them, they have recently stocked up their
Yards in Bismarck with immense quanti-
ties of lumber of every grade. They now
carry larger supply than can be found
in any lumber yard in the northwest, which
they are selling to farmers at greatly re-
duced rates. Our friends in Mclean coun-
ty who contemplate purchasing lumber,
should not fail to call upon Mr.. Hooper
when they visit the capital city. They
will find Mr.. Hooper courteous gentle
man, and they will also find that he will
give them prices that will defy competition.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.

The Destructive Power of the Spider
Some Species XIII and Eat Small Birds.
Spiders Kill their prey by the agency Of a
poisonous fluid, which IS secreted IN q
gland and which flows az viii 70 the ex-
tremity of one OF the fauces or jaws, says
Longrnan's Magazine.
Some writers have denied the existence
of this poisonous substance, but the effects
which a spiders bite have been known to
have upon human being prove undoubt-
eddy that it is present Persons who have
been bitten by very large South Ameri-
can spider, known as Mygale fusca, have
felt the effects in the recurrence OF severe
pains in the portion of the body attacked
for as long as twelve or even twenty years
after the infection of the wound. The
stories told OF the disastrous effects of the
bites OF the tarantula are, however, quite
fabulous Everybody has heard of the be-
lief held by the inhabitants OF the district
round Tarantum that if one CHANGED to be
bitten by tarantula he became subject to
a dire disease which could only be cured by
musical strains. The disease no doubt ex-
isted, and was probably form of hysteris,
In the cure of which music may have proved
beneficial, but TO saddle an innocent spider
with the odium Of producing 1t was dis
tinctly unfair.
The destructive powers Of spiders do not
stop short of killing insects, for some trop-
ical species habitually catch aud eat small
birds. The accounts first given of these
formidable creatures were for a long time
looked upon as mere travellers tales, but
more recent observations have fully con-
firmed the statements made by those who
originally described them. The birds are
not caught in snares, for these spiders spin
no webs They conceal themselves in crew
ices or under leaves, and from such retreat
pounce upon the birds they have succeeded
in annroaching
