Red Lights Issue Il Challenge.
Frnr, L,,lf. JN

'AA1NAh Q hullSsl
The Bismarck base ball club known as
tine "Red Lights has decided to issue a
challenge to the "Champions," under the
management Of w. A. Falconer, the
game to take place at the ball park
at a date to be set by the manag-
ers OF the different clubs. The question of
abundance was taken under advisement,
and after careful consideration, it was de-
cided that the price of admission should be
10 and 10 cents, ladies free and children
half price. This schedule is, however, sub
Ject to the approval or amendment Of the
Champions managers. The organization
was harmonious and Alex. Fromme was
the unanimous choice for manager. The
positions were then assigned as follows:
Pitcher-Frank Ryan.
Catcher-Sherman Newcomer,
First BASEL. II. Palmer,
Second base-Thomas Moore.
Third base-John Homan.
Short ~Stop-Fred IIendershott.
Right tield-Robert Walton.
Center tield-W. +. Dunlap.
Left ~field-AnguS Mcdonald.
Manager-AleX. Fromme.
The Red Lights decided that as they
We're issuing the challenge, it would be
fair and right to give the Champions the
choice of umpire. There are some positions
in the Champions nine yet to be filled, but
they no doubt will be fixed upon to the
satisfaction of all parties interested. The
lovers OF the national game can now rea-
sonably expect an opportunity in the near
future Of cursing the unfortunate umpire
and hallooing themselves hoarse in cheer
ing their favOrites, whichever club it may
be. The Red Lights mean business and
no doubt the Champions will accept their
challenge: Bets last night were very even,
little odds being offered by the friends

I1LSlA VIVA
Fort Yates, April 10, 1891.


Many familiar faces were noticed among
the gang that began work at the bridge
Monday. The general manager is j. H.
Sullivan, who has been connected with the
Northern Pacific company for a long time.
Conductor Kelly will have charge of one
train, and the other has been offered to
Dinehart, who had charge of it last year,
but it is not known whether he will accept
or not. Engineers Hughes and Costello
have both been returned, and the Heinzer
brothers will manipulate the shovel. With
the exception of Sullivan, it is the same
crew as last year. The rain prevented
work beginning yesterday morning, and
about noon as No. 1922 was running in on a
newly laid side track, she jumped the
track, and it took quite a while TO get her
back on. The ground being very wet and
soft, the track gave way on one side, which
caused the accident. No damage Of con-
sequence was done. About May LIST anoth-
er shovel will commence operations at
%Sunnyside. 1t will take a vast amount of
earth TO fill the cut aver with the trestle,
but it is thought the task will be completed
before now flies.

Shortly after this as the weather grew

freshing pines on the mountain side. And
here we walked and we talked as before.
But am compelled for want of space to
cut out nearly all she SAID on that occasion
recall that after we had paused in our
walk she suddenly said:
"Would you care to walk little further
on, among the pines?"
She said this seriously, looking in nv
face in quiet and inquiring way, and for
answer 1 moved on with her and walked at
her side in silence.
Halt an hour, up a hill and over the hill,
through the tall open pines, and saw be-
fore us in wooded depression in the land
scape, through which little mountain
stream wound in the long, strong grass, a
few scattering graves, where roses grew in
careless profusiun. Some deer were feeding
on the slope OF the hill little beyond, And
beyond these, higher on the siopins hill
where the pines stood dark and dense; l saw
what at first seemed to be large old-fashionei
marble tombs.

''These are simply long heaps of sweet
smelling pine wood, corded up and kept
ready for some of those men and women of
advanced thought whom we have among
u.s."
Funeral pyres?"
"Even so. You will understand that
here with us in this new order of things
there is nothing arbitrary. Minds of all
men have different degrees of DEVELOPMENT.
Some have ascended high; some higher
still; while many of us still stand at the
bottom OF the hill and see the plane of life
only forever from the dead level of custom.
And so each looks at life and death, also,
from his or her own standpoint. Some of us
still want priests to lean upon, some of us
still at times are weak enough to want to
worship idols, or even the golden cali and
so, in so far as it is not really harmful to
the soul, all of us are to be INDUCED. For
every secure step beyond must be of grad
ual ascent; because there is danger OF the
weak growing weary, Of turning back, or
faltering by the way,"
"Ah, I see. Here conspicuously in the
front are the graves OF those who claim at
tention even in the tomb"
''That is it, she sadly answered. as she
looked above and on up the hill beyond into
the deep dark shadows! But up yonder in
the silence and obscurity the remains OF
those who have outgrown such folly, like
Charles Dickens, Lord Houghton, and
others, who begged Tor simple burial. are

He Is Roaming About Asia in Tempera-
ture Away Below Zero.
The Indo- Chinese mail just received here
brings further interesting news OF Prince
Henri's explorations in Asia, saws the
European edition of the New York Herald.
The Prince and his companions visited
Kuldja, the extreme point OF the Russian
possessions. After crossing the Tien-
Tchouang Mountains, the Prince took a
route till now unknown to Europeans. A
sufficiently thickly peopled and relatively
we'll cultivated country extends from the
Siberian frontier to the western portion of
the Desert Of Cobb. 1t took six weeks to
cross this tract of desert. Thence the Prince
and his com panions proceeded to Lob.No
a marshy, uncultivated valley, intersected
by muddy arrovos. Throughout its whole
length of ], 500 kilometres they did not find
a single human being.
The travellers then commenced the ascent
to the table land OF Thibet by pass which
is 900 metres above the level of the sea.
The explorers penetrated to within IL
leagues OF the sacred city of Lhassa, but
refrained from entering it lest they should
create for themselves insurmountable diff
entities for the remainder of their Journey.
Descending into the basin of the Yang-Tse-
Kiaug, the Prince reached Batang. On the
Thibetan able land NJ. Bonvalot noted the
existence of extinct volcanoes, as also of a
chain of mountains, the summlts Of which
are, as nearly as it could be calculated with
the, defective instruments the travellers pos.
sessed. over 5000 metres above the sea.
The cold was very intense there. The
thermometer fell to 400 centigrade below
zero. Several OF the men attached to the
expedition died of cold. From Batang the
tourney through Yuznan was easy. The
Prince and his ielIow travellers reached the
Red river at Mang- Has, where they freighted
sampans, which brought them safely to
