day of its date: that l. was duly protested

perfectly good and that the latter can en-

regard for the appearance of things, as he
hesitated about endorsing it and only did
so when he found it necessary in order to

Kind Words for the Departed.

Mandan Pioneer: The death of Fred ~.
Myers, of Bismarck, is a shock to a good
many Mandan people. He was the night
operator at the telegraph office at the Bis
marck depot, and the many Mandan people
who has occasion to find out from him as
to the time of the departure of trains across
the Missouri, always met with a courteous
word. On the morning following the last
night of the legislature, the writer had ac-
caslon, before s o'clock, to go to the tel
egrah office and find out about a train. 1t
was a bitter cold morning, and Mr.. Myers
was asleep on y bench in the Office, covered
with a coat. The fire was very 10 W, and
sOmt body who had been in the office had
left the door standing wide open. Myers
was very anxious, on being awakened, to
find if he was COVERED up when the writer
went into the office. Even then, he was in
no condition to be at work. The many
Mandan travellers who have had occasion
to do business with him, will feel more
thansa passing sorrow at his untimely
death.

they could have secured as desirable ami
mails from this or adjoining counties. Let
us hold the fair by all means; it will offer
an opportunity to those raising and
owning superior stock to exhibit it
and probably. III many instances,
furnish a home market. In many ways
will we be benefited. We will meet and
know each other-Will have an opportun-
ity of exchanging views and relating ex-
periences, and by comparing our own pro-
duets and possessions with those of our
neighbors, reaping a lasting benefit. Home
agitation is a great thing. Let it continue,
but don't let his matter end in agitation.
Let lis act; let a meeting be called, and
called soon. Let us decide upon some
plan. Let us prepare for action and not
let up until after the fair has been held.

Drowning at Fort Yates,

FORT YATES, March 20. Especial. lit
has just come to the knowledge of your
correspondent that one week ago last
Tuesday, the day of the last big storm, a
Russian was drowned crossing the river
between this agency and Winona. He
was employed by a man named Grady to
drive a team, as Grady is delivering grain
here for IL. S. Parkin. 1t appears The Rus
sian stopped on the ice to water his team
and he took a pail and approached an air
hole to dip the water up. Just then a
strong gust of wind blew him forward into
the hole and the poor man Immediately
went under the ice. The horses went on
driverless until they got to Winona. when
the Russian was missed. This makes six
men drowned in this vicinity this winter
and we hardly pay any attention to the
loss of a human life. l doubt if half the
people here knows of this death vet and
do not write this information for them but
perhaps some of your many readers might
be interested III such matters. do not
know this drowned mans name and do
not believe | would be able to write it If |
heard it.. | learned of the drowning this
way: When Grady was settling up with
Parkln he wanted to bring in his bill for
the dead Russian. THIS Mr.. Parkin
strongly objected TO and no one blames
him.
Every thing here is quiet. The pay
master arrived and paid off Wednesday, SO
the boys are happy.
We celebrated st. PatrickS day by going
to church and hearing one of the finest
mt | ever listened to and | believe
few better was delivered throughout the
country that day than the one delivered
here by the Rev. Father McNally. The
church was packed by both Protestants
and Catholics and all wore the green and
to hear the sisters sing the Grand Mass
and also Saint Patricks Day was a great
treat and will be long remembered by the
people OF the post. ELSA CRAIG.

In Favor of the Fair.

To H TRIBUNE: A few days ago an
article appeared in your columns suggest
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of holding an agricul-
tural fair this fall. Said article has caused
much comment, and invariably those dis
cussing the subject looked upon it with
favor. 1t has been proposed that, instead
of a county fair, the counties adjacent
should be invited to cooperate with Bur-
leigh and hold a district exhibition. There
can be no doubt but what the thing can be
carried out successfully and greatly to the
benefit Of the agricultural and stock inter-
ests of this section. l know of many pur-
chases that have been made from parties,
outside the state, o fpure-bread bulls, sheep,
horses, etc that could have been made
near home and would have been had the
parties making the purchases known that

Slaughter Snow Flakes.

An election for justice of the peace was
held here yesterday, and Slaughter has
now thr regulation machinery for the
manufacture and dispeusatlon of that
elusive commodity called justice. There
is little need OF it here, however, as we are
Christian people, and consequently de-
barred from indulgence in such worldly
recreations as law suits.
A new poStotiice will be established ten
miles northeast of this place in the spring,
in Sheridan county, to be supplied with
mail from the Slaughter postoffice. Sheri-
dan county is the paradise OF cattle and
sheep ~raisers, and cannot be eXcellcd in
the character of its pasturage.
NOWit is said our railroad is an actually,
and reports cOmc from Bismarck that the
Northwestern company has taken a lease
on an eligible building there as head
quarters for the next two years. Is that
50?
The chinook wind is rapidly melting
the snow, and the couleeS and ravineS are
transformed INTO limpid lakes.
The past winter has been rather a dull
one Nevertheless, we have all come out
alive and hopeful, and will try our luck
once more with grain raising.
Our people are very happy in having
regular church services. and we hope the
times will admit OF the erection of a new
church next summer. VERA.

The Frustrating Shocks

OF malarial fever are not to be counteracted by
quinine with any degree of certainty, or for
any length OF time. The eradication and pre-
vention of diseases of a miasmatic type are,
however. ascertained possibilities. Long ex-
p%cricnce has shown that there is infinitely
more preventive efficacy in the fine botanic
medicine, Hostetter's Stomach BitterS, than
in the alkaloids, drugs and poisons which
were formerly the only recognized means of
removing and anticipating attacks of fever
and ague and bilious remittent. When the
system has been depleted by periodically re-
renews the fund of energy, and is not onlya
positive specific. but repairs the damage to
the general health inflicted by all febrile COM
plants partaking of the malarial character.

Why Not Il County Fair?

The TRlDuNE's suggestion Thursday re-
garding the organization of al agricul-
tural society here for the purpose of hold
ing an annual county fair has formed
a fruitful topic of discussion. Public sent
iment is in favor of a county fair, and peo-
pie wonder why they have not thought of
such an important matter before. Bur.
leigh county embraces IA large area of
fertile land, the products Of which should
be placed before the eyes Of visitors from
surrounding counties and the state. This
county can exhibit most anything, from a
mountain of Ignite coal to No. l hard
wheat. Here may be found the fatted
cattle, magnificent specimens OF horse
flesh, huge porkerS and enormous g
tables. BY all means keep III the county
fair agitation.

The Hearing POSTPONED.

Willard SHIRLEY appeared before Justice
Fort Monday afternoon on the charge of
selling intnxicants contrary to the prohibl-
tory law. Messrs. Philbrick & Barnes are
the defendants attorneys, and F. II.
Register represents the state. Joseph
Robidou, Ed. Hartin and John Anderson
were the witnesses present. After con-
siderable filibustering on both sides regard
ing the jurisdiction of the justice court,
the court granted the request Of the de-:
Tense for more time in which to prepare
their arguments, and the examination
will take place at the city hall. Friday
afternoon, at 2 o'clock. The little court
room was overtaxed to accommodate the
large crowd of spectators. The outcome
OF this action will be awaited with a great
deal of interest, as it is considered q test
case. Much speculation is INDUCED in as
to the result.

Wait for the Boom.

The indications of Bismarck enjoying a
boom in the near future are quite favorable.
1t will not be one of those spontaneous
booms of olden days, to collapse in a jitfy
like a soap bubble, but it will be a live.
healthy, substantial boom, one that will
have come to stay permanently. Never in
the history of Bismarck ana the Missouri
slope have the prospects been more llatter-
ing and encouraging. The 500 road is an
assured fact. 1t will be the short line to
the Twin cities and the east. Everybody
down the line is confident the new road is
but a question of a few months and are
governing themselves accordingly. Bis
marck is on the eve of prosperity.

Dennis Swiped an OvercOat.


Dennis Linehan, a pretty we'll known
young man around town, is in a bad box
and for the present his name appears to be
Dennis with a vengeance, as he is Ian
gushing behind the bars of the county Jail
in default of $500 bonds. Saturday morn
ing he was brought before Judge Fort on
complaint of +. II. Bly, charged with the
pilfering of a valuable mink Overcoat be-
longing to Judge Cleary of New Rockford
from the Sheridan house in January last,
when Mr.. Cleary was here as attorney for
Dave Wellman in the Patch-W ellman
coat was stolen from room %. occupied by
Cleary-and Linehan was one of the port
ers at the time. Mr.. Cleary raised on
siderable of a rumpus when he
discovered mis- overcOat missing, but
Landlord BLY, smoothed matters over by
cost. Since then Mr.. BLY, has been insti.
tuting a still hunt for the thief, and he
believes his efforts have been crowned
with success by the arrest of Linehan.
Sheriff Donnelly found him at the house
of Thomas Brown, near Cromwell, III pos
session OF the stolen goods, which he
claims he purchased from somebody.
The examination was waived, and will
come before the May term of the district
court. Linehan was unable to furnish
bonds for his appearance, and was sent to
the county bastile. Michael II. O'Connor
his uncle. is counsel for the defense.

No More Indian Trouble,

Captain Frank ID. Baldwin, a member of
General Miles staff, in speaking of the
late war in Pierre the other day, said he
had just came from Fort Sully, where the
Sitting Bull and Big Foot bands nave been
held as prisoners ever since they were cap
tured. These Indians are completely sub
dued, and | I'm doubtful if they could be
forced to fight again. They have got all
the war they want, and they are now
anxious to settle down and become civil
lied. They have made application to be
allowed to 90 back to their homes, 50 that
they can commence the work of putting in
some crops for the coming year, The de-
partment will make a great mistake if
thew do not let them 20 back to their homes
at once, for a delay Of several months will
make it too late for them to put in crops
this year. l shalt certainly advise that
they be released. or course, the soldiers
and Indian police will watch them and see
that they keep their promises, but | think
there will be no question about that
"Indian Commissioner Morgan is about
the worst crank | know of. He would
like to prevent Buffalo Bill from taking
100 Indians to travel with his show. Why,
it would be a mighty good thing if the
government could loan out all the Indians
to 20 IN the show business. 1t would be
a big saving on r%ations."
