grade certificates. Laura Belle Ward was
granted second grade certifcate.-Bis-
marck Tribune.
Miss Laura Belle Ward is sister to Miss
Jenett Ward, teacher of the Washburn
school, and Miss Lizzie Cunningham is
daughter of Engineer Thos. Cunningham
of Bismarck.
The Bismarck Tribune says the auditor
of LaMoure county has already taken in
$4,000 gopher tails. In Burleigh county
the indications are that they will not be as
bad as usual. It will be well, however, to
keep up the war-of extemination.
According to the Independent the people
of Bancroft. have horns, but the Independ-
ent says it cannot see why, because they
wear such appendages, they should clock
horns over grade matters" every time they
meet. Perhaps, James, that is the way
they have of expressing their affection for
each other.
The Supreme Court has decided that
Boyd is not citizen, and Gov. Thayer has
been installed governor. It is said that
Boyd will carry the case to the Supreme
Court. But in the mean time the appoint
ees of Gov. Boyd are hastily being replaced
by new consignment appointed by Gov.
Thayer.-Bancroft (Neb.) Independent.
Bismarck Tribune: Secretary Noble has
rendered decision in the commuted home
stead entry of D. B. Hatch of this county,
in which he reverses the decision of the reg
lister and receiver of the Bismarck Office
and rules that the claimant is entitled to a
patent.
Anna Dickinson, the national scold of a
quarter century ago, escaped from the
lunatic asylum at Danville, Pa, and claims
to be more sane than the managers-which
is quite likely. Numerous others have es-
capped from the same asylum who were
saner than the superintendent and his doc
tors.
The Bismarck land Office officials have
received instructions from Washington to
turn over to the Minot land Office officials
the records and plats belonging to the new
district which comprises the counties of
Renville, Ward, Montraille, Flannery,
Buford, Aired, Wallace and parts of Gar
field and Stevens.
The Tribune is authority for the state
ment that Frank LAVAL, an old-time Bis
marcker, and formerly stenographer in
Judge Roses court, is in Seattle, and as the
city seems to offer good opening for his
profession he will probably locate at that
point. The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
LAVAL will regret their loss but wish them
God speed wherever they may be.
The Minot journal has entered upon its
third year, and upon it's anniversary L. D.
McGahan steps out and Geo. w. Wilson as
sumes full management of the paper. Mr..
McGahan has accepted position on the
Devils Lake News, and his practical ex-
perience in the mechanical as we'll as the
editorial line will make him valuable ac-
QUESTION to that sheet. Mr.. Wilson, who
is now chief of the Journal, will continue
to make that paper what it has been here
tofore, a bright, newsy sheet, and We hope
Minot will appreciate his efforts.
Arthur A. Brundage was up from Dawson
Saturday to make arrangements for secur-
ing the defunct Republican printing outfit,
with which he contemplates starting pa
per at Dawson. Tuesday the arrangements
were completed and the type and presses
moved to Dawson. Mr.. Brundage informs
us the new paper will be strictly democrat
ic and will be rur in connection with his
increasing real estate and insurance busi-
ness. The field at Dawson has been vacant
since the demise of The Breeze in 'ss, and
as Mr.. B is newspaper man of ability
and experience he will no doubt meet with
success. Here's to the Standard Steele
Ozone.
Steele Ozone: Col. Phoebe Couzins, the
dashing ex-U. s. marshal of Missouri, does
not stay deposed from the Office of secret
ary of the board of lady managers of the
Worlds Fair worth cent. Tho board
thought Mrs. So-and-So would make real
cute secretary and thereupon fred Miss
Phoebe, but the st. Louis belle wouldn't
take "because" for an excuse for dismissal
and is talking right back. This is the first
time the ladies have been given an active
part in national matters and it begins to
look as though the government will have
more trouble Strengthening out their quar-
rails than the building of the Worlds Fair
itself.
