vindication of Mr.. Gerowe who was on
trial before Commissioner Allen and WAS
dismissed.
Many Fort Berthold Indians we're in
the city Wednesday getting rations which
will be issued in due form to them next
month,
The excess in rainfall at this point
from January 1st to September 18th was
Ill inches and at Fort Buford it was
3.15 inches.
Joe Katz received from Poland, We'd
nesday, a half life-size portrait of his
brother. 1t came all the way safely and
is a fine piece Of art.
The rain Wednesday was welcome. It
will interfere somewhat with threshing
but improve fall ploughing and put out
the prairie fires that may be burning.
The wheat market was brisk Wednes-
day. Some forty loads came in from the
north and the drivers report threshing
in active operation in Mclean and
northern Burleigh.
Captain Flavin was the recipient We'd
nesday of a very beautiful and costly
diamond watch charm from his many
admiring friends in the city. It will
flash into your eyes from the Sheridan
house desk in the future.
County Treasurer Dunn: 1t will be
October 18th soon and after that date by
statute I am obliged to add a penalty Of
five per cent. on unpaid personal pro-
perty taxes. By paying before that
time this sum will be saved.
The suit of the Bismarck Coal and
Wood Co., vs.. M. T. O'Connor was be-
fore his honor, Judge Chase, Wednesday.
The trouble is over some accounts
claimed by the company, which Mr..
O'Connor says he has paid. John Stoy-
ell appeared for the defendant and John
+. Fort for the plaintiff.
Wachter & Whites bus line for the &C
co~mmodation of the little ones south of
the track, to transport them to the high
school building, is proving quite a CON
venience and seems to fill the bill ex-
actly. We predict it will be better pat
ronized next winter when the gentle
zephyrs are scooting around in their
playful manner.
G. Fl. Phelps has rented the vacant
room in the Central block formerly &C.
cupied by M. Eppinger and will move
his jewelry store back from Duluth.
Mr.. Phelps went to Duluth about a year
ago, but has since decided that Bis
marck is the best town in the west. He
has looked the situation we'll over and
that is his conclusion.
Grand Forks Herald: "Zezula," whose
graceful and sprightly letters to the Bis
marck TRIBUNE leave no doubt that the
author is Mrs. Linda W. Slaughter, who
represented the Bismarck w. G. T. U. in
the state convention, writes in her hap
piest vein of the newspapers of this city,
handsomely complimenting the journal
istic fraternity whose high ambition it
shall be to merit her kind, appreciative
tribute.
Minneapolis Tribune: Governor
Burke, on his way to Chicago, hao been
in consultation with the officials of the
harvest festival regarding the display to
be made by North Dakota. The govern
or enters into the matter with great. en-
thusiasm and assures the committee
that North Dakota shall be fully and
worthily represented. The governor has
already wired his lieutenant and leading
citizens of his state urging immediate
action. The governor will return from
Chicago on Saturday morning next
and will give his personal attention to
the display to be made by his state.
Washburn Leader: Father Craft of
Sacred Heart Mission went to Bismark
on Tuesdays stage for the purpose of
meeting Bishop Stanley. who is vending
his course this way with a view of visit
ing the Catholic missions on the upper

school under good Roadway, with about
thirty scholars IN attendance. He has
formed among his Indian pupils an Or
ganization known as the Council of Two
