Results of the Cloudburst.

The full extent of damage done by the
storm of Saturday night was not learned
at the time, but from reports obtained it
is evident that it was the the most des-
tructive' storm that ever visited this Sec
ton of the country. In Mandan the
rain came down from the western hills
in torrents, filling cellars and washing
away sidewalks. At one time water was
nearly four feet deep on Main street and
surging ahead carrying all movable
objects with it. 1t was feared the founda-
ton of the Inter- Ocean hotel would give
away and all parties asleep were
awakened and warned. On Stark ave-
nue. houses we're flooded and much fur
niture spoiled, carpets were covered
with mud and chinaware blackened. All
lumber and other movable objects were
carried to the lower end of the city. The
Northern Pacific railroad seemed to suf-
fer the most severe loss between Sweet
Briar and Sims, or at least this section

The New Reed-Pipe Organ.

Frederic Archer gave an interesting
and enjoyable recital July 10Th, at Lyon
& Healy's music rooms, on the new Reed
Pipe organ. The instrument is the
largest yet constructed of the Reed-Pipe
type, and generates mnsic in a degree
much like the Pipe organ, in the pecu-
liar blending of tone and the metallic vi
brant quality. Each set of registers has
a different relation to the sound board,
and the tone is controlled by sound
chambers, which give, in a different way,
force to tone, as we'll as variety and re-
sonance. The new feature introduced
consists of flexible copper sound boards.
This instrument is particularly we'll
adapted for chamber concerts in small
halls or private houses, and has decided
advantages over the ordinary Reed ip-
strument. 1t is made by Lyon & Healy
at their factory, opposite Union Park,

A Sad Accident.

Tuesday afternoon the little adopted
son of Peter Formoe was drowned while
bathing in a pond neal the brickyard.
The unfortunate child's name is Peter
and he is the nephew of his adopted
parents and was 10 years of age. His
mother died when he was a mere child
and his father is a sea captain off the
coast of Norway. It seems the little I'M
fortunate was not alone in going to the
pond but was the only n to attempt a
bath. The pond is not over a rod across,
but with steep banks and slippery with an
inward slant. The water was about
four feet deep with a muddy bottom.
When the other boys with little Peter
saw he was in distress and danger they
left him to go to Con O'Leary's to Sc
cure help. The distance is about a
quarter of q mile and when Mr.. O'Leary
arrived he could only take out the life
less form. The child was dead before
help reached him. Drs. Frazer and
Harcourt were summoned and immedi-
ately went to the scene; however with
fruitless results as it was too late. The
father arrived about the same time the
doctors did, and the scene was most
affecting. The corpse was taken in a
hack and conveyed to the fathers home
on Second street. The child was ~univers-
ally loved by both playmates and older
persons who came in contact with him in
life. He was an apt scholar and faithful
student. In the sad death of the de-
ceased there is a warning to other boys
who have rather c~erelessly ventured into
the Missouri and other waters.

From Wednesdays Daily.]

Never in the history of the city was
there a more touching scene than was
enacted at the depot last evening. Fond
mothers, loving sisters, stern parents,
blushing young ladies, all were melted
in tears, and with fond embraces and
much sobbing and wetting of handker-
chiefs bade a last, solemn, affectionate
,adieu to the brave soldier boys of Com
pany A as they took the evening train en-
route for the front, where war, grim and
desolate war awaited them. It was truly
a scene that made the sternest turn aside
and shed a tear of regret. To see such a
gallant troop Of young men, just in the
prime of life, on their way to dangers
untold, and with steps that did not fall
ter, board the cars that were to carry
them to perils they visit not. Oh, war,
grim-visaged war! thou knowest not what
sad memories thou bringest forth. Thou
little realizeth the tender hearts that
we're bursting with pain and torment
when it was seen that you we're going to
pluck from us the fairest of our rising
generation. It was truly a sermon that
words were not equal to p%ortraying. But
such is the great destiny of us all. The

Whey Can Come In.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 17.-Some
doubt hoying arisen among certain for
elgn governments as TO the effect OF the

as applied to the Chicago exposition OF
1898, the Secretary Of State recently re-
QueSted an official opinion from the AT
torney General upon the subject.

hibited at the Worlds Columbian Expo
sitiOn; also, clerks and other persons

more than to say that the occasion re-
quired the denomination of Harrison,

confess that his administration was a
failure. Cleveland will be nominated In
spite OF his expressions on the silver

the Department of the Interior. 1t was
shown that money was withdrawn un-
der fictitious names, and that the sys-
TEN Of certifying accounts of extra
work was loose, to say the least OF It,.
II. II. Turner, clerk in the department.,
acknowledged having drawn money I'M
der his wife's maiden name for extra
work he had done himself. Since 1884
he had received So, 300 in that way.
Lyndewade Peccra, Secretary OF the
department admitted having drawn
money for extra work for seven or eight
years In his wife's name and in Ellen
Berry's name. Ellen Berry, he said,
was fictitious name. In 1886 the
money for extra work thus drawn in his
wife's name amounted to $500. NJ. Bur-
CESS, Deputy Minister of the Interior,
submitted statements in which he ad-
mitted that the civil service act had
been violated, but stating that he
thought that the permanent clerks
earned all they had received. In con-
sequence of the disclosure made to the
committee Mr.. Peccra was suspended.

served strength. 1t had delIva's
burnt lumber complexion ana looheu
like it might have emigrated from M
cadia about the time Eyangaline started
on her first starring tour. Its strength
was something appalling. The owner
was requested to keep 1t in his pocket.
He tried, poor man, but ne was
helpless. 1t would jump out upon MS
case and. scratch type in his eyes, III
gpite of him. He sewed it in with wax
end, but it broke loose, dragging tne
lining OF his coat with it. 1t stood up
in the forms and pied half column OF
nonpareil. This reused the foreman's
ire and he set it to work carrying coal
from the street to bin at the top OF
stairway. 1t packed mp two tons In
less than an hour, TO the intense dellght
of the Office boy, who held his nose be-
tween his thumb and forefingers and fol-
lowed it about to see that the coal was
not deposited too far from the stove.

master held it between his lips ana
blew sparks out of It's gothic chimney.
Then it seemed to fall asleep, ana
would wheeze and rattle like a coifee

In the morning it would be found

quiet except under its masters magic
spell. Everybody in the Office ate sassa.
fras, and the floor was kept sprinkled
with violet water. Finally the fore
man bcthought himself to soak II
in gallon of lye, and the entire office
force gathered around to watch the bat
tie. In five minutes 1t had swallowed
the contents of the kettle, and stood up
and begged for more. This was too
much. The owner was told that one or
both must go. He was good printer,
but his pipe was too much like Samson.
He took his sentence meekly. said 1t was
the same everywhere he went, but he
couldn't bear to be separated from his
meerschaum, from his first wife's
mother. After the pair had gone the
Office windows were raised and the force
put on sackcloth and ashes and chloride

A Tramp Printers Pipe.
Detroit Free Press.

Did you even. gentle reader stand
face to face ih tramp printers pipe?
Did your piuk-tnted nostrils ever in
hale the plain-Spoken aroma that clus-
tiers about the instrument with which
tourist type-sticker consumes last years
tobacco crop Have you ever had your
hair lifted, your lungs tested and your
soul stirred by the process referred to?
If not, you are III prepared to do battle
with the trials and reverSes which are
sure to rise in your pathway through
this vale OF tears. Until you have stood
in the presence OF this great power
shaken hands with 1t, so to speak, you
can form only a slight conception OF the
tribulations that cast their shadows a
cross the sanctum OF country editor.
Once upon time meek and mild
hammered man was the main guy Of
the Bu1le, modern newspaper publish
ed in the interior OF this State, and had
an experience with tramp printer and
his pipe, so terrible in its nature, that
II still lives In nv memory ss though IL
CHANGED but yesterday. he said he
came from Detroit, and his arrival at
the Office two minutes after way
freight train had passed through the
village caused suspicion that he had
utilized that slow-moving medium Of
transportation to make the journey.
When this coincidence was suggested
to him he smiled placid smile that
was but dimly visible through she cloud
of blue smoke that curled from between
his bearded lips.
The presence Of that pipe was mani
tested in every nook and corner of the
Office. 1t came like Frankenstein, sat
by the EDITORS side and Knocked his eff
forts to be wise or funny. ltwas Of the
Prince Albert style OfarchItecture. with
