Buried Alive,
TT e

Joseph Balm, ole of the men engaged
with the steam shovel at Sunnyside, was
killed by a landslide yesterday. The bank
in which the shovel is working is COM
posed of sand and gravel. The shovel had
worked close to the bank and at II a. III.
a slide occurred. Mr.. Balm was handling
one of the jackscrews at the front of the
framework of the %excavatOr, and when the
slide began, started to run. but fell and
was buried. 1t is thought by those present
that he could have been rescued had not
another slide Immediately followed, which
covered him to a depth of six feet. 1t was
twenty minutes before he could be dug out
and life had fled. The body was conveyed
t. Mandan, where he lived. He had a
wife and three children. Mr.. Balm was q
Russian, and highly respected by his asso-
ciates and neighbors. Judge Francis,
counsel for the Northern Pacific Company,
Was summoned TO be present at the in
quest. On his return Mr.. Francis stated
the verdict was death by accident. He
said when the earth began to slide the en-
gineer Of the steam shovel called on Balm,
also another man who was standing by his
side, who immediately jumped, and, had
Balm also jumped, his lire would have
been saved.

A District Fair Association.

Subject to call, about forty of the busl-
ness men of Bismarck met at the city hall
Wednesday evening to consider the ques-
ton of organizing a permanent fair associ-
alton. A. N. Leslie called the meeting to
order. Judge Hare was elected chairman
and Fred Hendershott, secretary. In TAX
ing the chair Mr.. Hare said the object of
the meeting was to consider the ADVISABLE
ty OF a county or district fair organization,
which, he believed. would be a step in the
right direction. DIR. Harcourt was called
upon and expressed himself in favor OF in
wiling all the slope counties to join with
Burleigh and make a grand display Of the
slopes products. He said the exhibit
should extend from the stock farms to the
school-roOms and encourage every branch
of industry. He spoke particularly of the
stock department.. Many men are breed
ing outside the county because our home
stock has not become known. E. Il. Will
son was next called on and he moved the
appointment of a committee of three to eff
feet a permanent organization, which mo-
ton prevailed, and the chair appointed E.
II. Wilson, DR.. Harcourt and A. N. Leslie.
Judge Gray, j. d. Mcdonald and others
expressed themselves in favor of making
the fair a district organization. The com
mittee was instructed to communicate with
outside counties, and an adjournment was
taken subject to the call of the chairman.

Their from the truth. Our section never
asked nor received Il cent of public aid and
we never needed it. While we believe our
land in every way equal to that in your
fertile valley for wheat raising, we turn
our attention more to mixed farm
ing and stock raising. We raise
the finest vegetables in The world, and po-
tatoes from Morton county took first prize
at the New Orleans fair. A great deal of
corn is also grown in our county. T.. Boley.
one of the Oldest settlers. raises a good
crop every year. He has greatly improved
the native Rec corn. until it is equal to the
best Iowa corn for all purposes. Hon. H.
). Farkin, who has a large ranch on the
Cannon Ball river. raised over 5000 bushels
OF corn last year. Horses. sheep and cattle
cover our plains, the hills are full OF coal.
our farmers are men of energy II indie
p%endence, and we believe that a man WHO
will go TO Chicago and represent our sec
ton as being reduced to beggary should
have Il seat reserved for him in the hottest
corner of IIades.

Minneapolis Tribune: Either somebody
has been playing Il cruel prank with Col
Pat Donan's name or the colonel has de
termined to burn his bridges behind him
and never more return to the region whose
fame he has dOne so much to spread
abroad. The occasion of this statement is
the appearance in yesterdays Chicago
Tribune Of an article purporling to be a
true report OF an interview with Col. Donan,
in which that gentleman is quoted as say
ing some very uncomplimentary things of
the Dak"ias. He referred to the people of
those states as tools and i~gn0ramuseS, pro
nOunced the soil barren and beyond hope
of redemption by irrigation. condemned
the division Of the territory into two states
and painted the future Of the DakotaS in
the most Suinber hueS. Now that doesn't
sound like Pat DOMAIN. The Dakota of
other days did much for him and many of
the best people in the twin DakotaS of to-
day are his warm friends and ardent adj
mirerS. He knows that these states are
both rich in soil, climate and mineral and
are entering upon Il period of prosperity
thai will soon make them the brightest of
the stars lately added to Uncle Sans gal
aNy. Moreover he always registers as "l'.
DOMAIN. Dakota" Were h" ashamed of his
old bone he would register "P. DOMAIN.
Honduras "Calcutta,' "Kalamazoo'' or
some other remote region. The Tribune
prefers to believe that some wicked Da-
koian has imposed upon the Chicago Trib-
unp'S new hotel reporter. Some bad man
from Fargo is even now snickering at the
mischief he has done in the hOnored name
of DOMAIN and waiting ~anXiOusly to see
what the lu,ne papers will say about it. 1t
will cost the colonel a tidy sum to square
himself.

A Sen Sick PASSENGER,

On the ocean. cares little about a storm. He
is positively Indifferent whether he is washed
overheard or not. But, set right by q vino
glassful or two of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
he feels renewed interest In his personal
safety. This fine corrective neutralizes in
brakish water--often compulsorily drank on
shipboard, to the g%rievous detriment Of
health-the pernicious impurities which give
rise to disorders of the stomach. liver and
bowels. To the mariner. the tourist, the
Western pioneer and miner, the Bitters is
invaluable as a means of protection against
malaria, when it's seeds are latent in air and
water. To the effects of overwork. mental or
manual, it is a most reliable antidote. and
to the debilitated and nervous, it affords
great and speedily felt relief and vigor.

The Right Kind of Talk.

A. NJ. Packard in Fargo Republican:
Just came in from below this morning on
my way home to Mandan. Say, l Am glad
to see that Paine, the notorious beggar-ln-
chief, has been nipped. His begging expe-
ditions to Chicago and st. Paul have done
more to lnjure North Dakota than all the
droughts and frosts we ever had. What I
particularly kick about is that he made his
appeals for aid in the name
of western North Dakota, thus
creating the impression in the minds
of the eastern people that the country on
the Missouri river and from there west was
poverty stricken. Nothing could be fur.

son Indian school, was continued before
United States Commissioner f.. 5. Allen
Saturday until l o'clock p. H.. when he
was discharged and released from custody.
There were four separate and distinct
complaints or i%ntormations laid against
Mr.. GerOWe by the complaining witness,
John p. Lindeleaf of Ingersoll, Mclean
county. Mr.. Lindeleaf was the instructor
IN the art OF shnemaking at the Stevenson
school, until about March first 1891, when
he was discharged by the defendant from
the service. The first complaint was
for paying to one a. H. Simpson, teacher
at the agency, fifty dollars as salary for
the month of June, 1890, Mr.. Simpson hav-
ing left the fort on the Sd day of June.
MIR. Gerowe obtained a leave of absence
for Mr.. Simpson, which made the disburse-
ment OF the money lawful. The fact that
a leave OF absence was granted was not
now to the complaining witness, hence
the charge OF embezzlement.
The second charge was for embpzz,ing
a barrel of syrup. This property was not
on the returns or receipts and Mr.. &C.
rowe was not responsible for the same as
tar as The government was concerned. The
evidence disclosed the fact that he issued
the same to the Indian children without
making any return or report to the interior
department. The complaining witness
attempted TO show that the syrup was com
vertcd TO the use of the defendant. On
this point there was an entire failure of
proof. The charge stated the embezzlc-
ment occurred july 90, 1890. In re-
hfNSa IN tl.n ns.ft ", k,t,, I I
you wait until this time to make complaint
against Mr.. Gerowe," the complaining wit
ness said: ut would not nave been safe
to do it before. | would have had my head
cut Off. L had no desire to iniure MIR. Ce-
rowe uutil he injured me. When he UNI
,hn t to mjnrs me, intended to return
were dismissed for failure on the part of
the United States to make a case. The
third complaint was for emhezZling. steal
ing and nurlOlning, on July 3. 1890, one
steer, fifty pounds OF sugrr. 400 pounds of
flour, twenty-five pounds of coffee, etc.
The complaining witness and his wit
nesSes did not produce any evidence in
THIS case. and the same was dismissed.
The facts in this case, rs stated by the
friends OF Mr.. Gtrowe, were, that ON the
Fourth OF july, 1890, the SUPERINTENDENT
OF the school Invited the parents of the put
pills to celebrate the day at the fort and
gave them their dinner. There were 15O
guest present. The provisions consumed
tuted the property charged in this
third complaint to have been embezZled
The fourth complaint charged the defend
ant with embeZZlemcnt, but the allegations
therein do not appear more criminal in
character than the first three.

Exchanging Warrants For Bonds.

One of the wisest moves of the present
board of county commissioners is that
looking to the relief and benefit of the
county's financial condition by converting
the outstanding warrants drawing Z per
cent. into 500 bonds drawing & per cent.
1t will be remembered that an attempt was
made to bond the entire floating debt and
refund the present outstanding bonds
drawing 8 and 10 per cent. The sale was
made but afterwards fell through-the
parties agreeing to take the bonds failing
to come to time. The commissioners then
decided to issue tWenty-year bonds in de-
nominations OF $500, each, payable after
five years at the option of the county and
exchange them for outstanding warrants.
1t is believed that nearly all ot the war
rant holders will accept these bonds in en-
change and the benefits are mutual. A
bond is better than a warrant and if the
county can succeed in floating its indebted
ness at a saving OF one per cent. and by
getting on a cash basis save from 10 to 20
per cent. in its expenditure for necessary
supplies It'll certainly to be commended
Treasurer Dunn has already received over
$25, 900 of warrants to be exchanged and
has adylces from other heavy holders of
warrants saying they will do likewise

Leasing School Lands.

Jamestown Alert: The annual leasing
of school lands occurred at the court house
Saturday, as advertised. Bidders were few
and only two pieces were leased-s g Il of
16.1S7-H to A. McMillin, at a rental of $12
per year; aud lot 1, section So. 142 6S, to j.
E. Herbert, at a rental of So per year.
These pieces were leased for a term of
four years and one years rent paid in ad-
vance. The latter piece is the G. A. r.
camp ground at Splritwood lake. 1t was
annum, but the lease was allowed to LAPSE.
The piece was bid in by Mr.. r. E. Wallace
for Mr.. Herbert for one seventh that rental.
The G. A. r. post will continue to use it as
q camp ground. Most of. the parties who
leased lands last year have paid another
years rent. Pieces upon which the second
years rent has not been paid will be Of
fered for lease again. The leasing was
adjourned until next Thursday.

Jim jerks on journalism.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: l understand j. E.
Britton of the Mclean County Mail has be-
gun a libel suit against II. II. Copeland OF
the Washburn Leader. Now, when Brit
ton started that suit the matter became of
public interest and subject to the decision
Of the people. Both Of the papers referred
to and connected with this trouble ought
to be ashamed of articles they have print
ed. They have filled their columns with
personal abuse, fixing no limit to the dis
graceful stuff forced upon the public. The
people up there have stood it pretty well,
but | am informed that they are becoming
disgusted with both of the papers, which
ought to be devoting their columns to
news matter and the building up of their
town and county. Now, the truth of the
whole thing is, the people don't care
whether Copeland likes Britton or not, or
vice versa. 1t does not give II paper pres
tige to abuse the editor OF a contemporary.
What the people want and are willing to
pay for is news and good advice. Both of
the gentlemen referred to are capable of
getting up, a better editorial page than
they have been doing. Ii man has gone
wrong in the past. and has repented, the
people don't care a straw, and when it
comes to publishing slanderous articles
that no one believes, they look to some
other source for information. 1t is all
right to make a good clean political cam
paign and let her boil good and hot. The
readers like that; but when it comes to
personal abuse-and false, at that-they
ought to have more respect for the profess
sion they claim. 1 understand the articles
are signed by some mark or letter and
dated all over the country. Well, that
don't help the matter any. An editor
ought to make a person sign such an arti-
Gle, if published, and respect for his SUBJ
scribers ought to inspire him to that pitch
where such stuff would find its reward in
the waste basket. | admire a good news
paper and have received much inspiration
cry out against such alleged tights and lib
critics as these editors claim to have.
