The Episcopal Festival.


The harvest festival given by the
ladies of the Episcopal church last even
ing was a grand success. For a week past
the ladies have worked hard and faith
fully to put the best vegetables and small
grains of this seasons crop on exhibition
and at the same time give a upper and
help the church. The building was
thronged with people from early twilight
until a late hour. It would occupy a
page to give details of what was there.
Most of the people we're surprised at the
exhibit of splendid vegetables-all grown
in Burleigh county. The room was
beautifully decorated and presented a
pleasing appearance. Perhaps one thing
that attracted more attention than any,
thing else was a small dish of Dakota
apples. Then there we're the ten pound
radishes and the three pound potatoes,
etc., etc. If you we're not there you
missed a treat and if you were there you
had a good time.

PRtrOniZe Home Industry.

jamestown Alert: Persons are reported
travelling over the country inducing
whomsoever they can beguile to become
members of some supply association.
The membership fee is either paid in
cash or an obligation given to pay it, by
which such members are promised
goods at greatly reduced prices. 1t
seems almost like a reflection upon the
intelligence of the people to warn them
against such a scheme, but some are
gullible enough to bite at the bait.
They will in the end pay for being hum
plugged, as P. T. Barnum said the
American people were always willing to
do. Even if there was any t~inancia
saving in the operation to the individual
which it would be unreasonable to ex-
pect, it would be ga penny wise and
pound foolish" policy to pursue. Your
home merchants pay local taxes, support
schools for your children and assist in
enterprises that increase the value of
your property. When misfortune in
crops or in other things that temporarily
outs off your supply Of money come upon
you your home merchant carries you
owe by supplying you with the neces-
saries and commodities of life and waits
for the pay until your money supply is
restored in some way. This accommoda-
ton you should not forget when you
have money ahead. Go to your home
merchant with the cash and he will give
you as good bargains as you can get any,
where. Support home trade, home labor,
home enterprise, home everything before

Alliance Loss by Hail,

Jane stown Alert: The business of
the Alliance Hail insurance department
is over for the season, although a loss
was reported in Steel county on the 10Th
inst. The total losses adjusted for this
year are S3S,67S.76. The company haG
patrons and losses in every county in the
state where wheat was grown except
Trail county. The insurance of twenty
five cents an acre provided for a total
loss not to exceed $500 per acre. The
manager Of the company believes they
will be able to pay nearly in full all adj
justed losses, which have been but
partial in most cases. The crops of the
state will permit the payment of pre-
MUM notes, and collections of that
character are already coming in. The
expenses of the company for the season
foot up between $4,000 and $4,000. Last
year the losses exceeded the assets, the
former being $4,000 and the latter $751;
600 without counting expenses. The old
notes taken for last years losses will in
many cases be paid this year and the old
unpaid losses settled for as fast as the
notes are paid. This years, business is
kept distinct from last seasons, and on
the whole is believed will turn out salts
factory.
The greatest loss occurred in Barnes
and Cass counties during a heavy hail
storm that visited that portion of the
state.

Worlds Fair Notes,

S. H.. Peabody, ex-president of the
Illinois state university, has been con-
frmed as chief of the department of
horticulture, and L. w. Robinson, of
Philadelphia, as chief of the department
of machinery. John Thorpe, of New
York, is sub-chief in the horticultural
department in charge of Horticulture.
The exposition directors have appro-
priated $4,000 for the expense Of repro
ducing at the exposition the convent of
La Ribada, Palos, Spain, where Column
bus lived while perfecting his plans for
his voyage of discovery. The building
will be used for housing an extensive
collection of Columbus relics, and it's
ancient appearance, it is believed, will
afford a pleasing contrast to that of the
magnificent palaces by which it will be
surrounded.
The National Association of Canned
Food Packers has applied for space to
exhibit it's products at the fair. The as
ISOLATION in it's jurisdiction covers the
packing interests of twenty states. There
are in the country about 1000 canning
concerns, consuming the product of
100000 acres of land and giving direct
employment to a million people. It is
the ambition of the association to show
the magnitude of the industry and the
novelties in machinery used in packing
the product. The association asks that
n Of it's members be made a permanent
attache of the exposition's management
to superintend this department and that
the association be allowed to name the
man. 1t asks for 5000 square feet and
40-horse power.
At the request Of the Latin-American
bureau of the Worlds Columbian Elk
position, Cardinal Gibbons has requested
the proper officers of the several religious
orders of the Roman Catholic church,
both in Europe and America, to aus
their archives to be searchedf or histori-
cal records bearing upon the discovery
and settlement of the New World. It is
known that the ship that left Spain,
beginning with the first voyage of Col
umbus, carried among it's crew a priest
or a friar, and that these missionaries
made voluminous reports to the heads
of their different orders, few Of which
were aver published. Tits believed that
the archives Of the church are filed with
valuable historical material.

Terrible Railroad Wreck.

The sad lows reached the city Sunday
morning of the death of three we'll known
railroad men. A freight train switching
IN the yard at Buffalo six miles east of
Tower City, allowed an oil car to get
away and dash down the grade toward
Tower City. An east-bound stock train
had left Tower City but a short time be-
fore and the car and train collided at the
bottom of two grades. The engine COM
pletely telescoped the oil car which OK
ploded and took fire. Engineer Curtis,
Fireman VIM. Dodge and Brakeman
Beatan we're killed. The brakeman and
fireman were found near the telegraph
poles having been blown there by the
explosion. The engineer was found dead
in the cab. He was badly scalded and
burned as were the brakeman and fire.
man. Two tramps stealing a ride we're
also killed. Before the train stopped it
slid far enough to ignite sixteen car
loads of stock and all but sixteen of the
cattle were burned together with the
Streeter stable cars. The train that
allowed the Car to get away seemed to be
waiting for this stock train and we're do
ing switching, when the oil car was put
on the main line there was no brakeman
on top and the car started down grade.
AS the collision occurred about 10 o'clock
at night the stock train had no warning
and dashed to destruction when it was
least expected. All the dead are we'll
known here. The brakeman is a brother
in-law of John Holland. The fireman
fired for Engineer Costello on one of the
work engines last summer. He was a
quite young mar and his death cast d
gloom over the entire community. The
morning passenger was sent around by La
Moure and reached here five hours late.
All the engines on this division are
bedecked in mourning.

The Fire in the Holland Settlement
in Emmons County the Most
Destructive.
It is Estimated That the Loss in
That Section Will Reach
$4,000.
Many Left Destitute-Cattle, Horses,
Houses and Everything
Burned Up.
Loss in the Holland Settlement.

80" ooeuAuhy o Dd1lS.J
Senator Worst, who came in from En-
mons county last evening, reports that
the damage by fire in the Holland set
Element, IS miles south of Williamsport,
in Emmons county, will reach at least
$4,000. The Williamsport fire is nothing
in comparison. The fire destroyed every
thing in its path-houses, barns, horses,
cattle, grain, in fact, everything which
the farmers had. MI. Worst could not
say how many families were left desti-
tute, but an estimate of the damage done
and the names of those burned out are
now being gathered with a view of plac-
ing the facts before the county commits
sioners, SO that the destitute may be as
sisted. MI. Worst has promised what
ever assistance he can render in this d.
r%ection.
No authentic news has been heard
from the Russian settlement in Emmons
county, but it is thought considerable
damage has also been done there.
One man at Winona-a Mr.. Pratt-is
a loser to the extent of 43 marketable
steers which were overtaken by the fire
and burned to death.
One reason why the fire at Williams
port did not do more damage was be-
cause it was fought so stubbornly and
successfully by the p~eople-men, women
and children turning out en- masse and
working almost necessarily for two days
and nights. A novel method of extin-
gushing the fire was introduced by the
people. Where a "head" fire was run
ming, two ponies, with a boy mounted on
each one, were hitched to the ends of a
long pole upon which we're fastened
sacks, cloths, etc, and by driving a horse
on each side of the fire, the blaze was
extinguished. A man followed the pole
and kept the sacks wet with water. A
"head' fire is one which shoots ahead of
the main fire in a narrow strip and then
spreads out.

More About the Emmous Fire.

The Williamsport Record last week
gives the following particulars regarding
the recent prairie fire in that vicinity: A
few additional losses in the north half of
the county must be reported this week.
In the Williamsport neighborhood N. J..
Shields lost 200 bushels of wheat and
5 acres of oats and 20 tons of hay. The
total loss in the northern half is esti-
mated at $4,000.
1t is customary for residents to speak
Of the north half and the south half of
Emmons county, Beaver creek being the
dividing line. 1t was in the part south
of the creek that the fire fiend ragged
most tiercely and wiped out most prop
erty. During the passage of the fire
through that section it was driven by a
fierce wind, which at times took the TO-
tary motion of a tornado or strong whirl-
wind. Eureka, in South Dakota, is the
principal market town of southern En-
mons, and a great deal of farm machinery
had been purchased there and brought
into the south half this season. In some
cases almost new implements we're de-
stroyed. In one instance a settler had
returned from Eureka the day before the
fire with a new wagon, and had loaded it
with wheat for market. Wagon, grain
and pretty nearly everything else he
owned we're burned. The fire in the
south half jumped fire-breaks in many
instances, and eye-witnesses state that,
houses, barns and stacks were on fire
while the grass was unburned a hundred
yards away.
Thursday morning at 2 o'clock a
change in the direction of the wind drove
the fire into the cattle herd of John
Pratt, fifteen miles east of Winona. The
frightened animals ran with the wind
until AZ out of so fell dead. Mr.. Pratt
saved his life by getting into a small
stream and throwing water over himself
and into his face until the flames passed.
In that neighborhood Jos. Bolllnger lost
eight head of cattle and A. G. WAGNER a
bull. E. D. Wescott lost ten tons of
hay and between 200 and 300 bushels of
flax.
But the greatest havoc was committed
in the Holland settlement, where some
families of honest, Woodworking settlers,
rejoicing that a bountiful crop had been
harvested, we're left in an hour with moth.
ing but the bare land and the clothes on
their persons. Following are the leading
losses, besides which there are a large
number of small losses reported. The
figures given are estimates, and the
names as printed are probably not all
correct; but an idea is given of the great
loss our Hollander fellow settlers have
suffered:
John Cleyeringal lost everything.

anxious to get it. When I returned, r
asked the boys why they did not ship

were too high. I looked up the matter
and found that although I could send a

for eighty cents it took just two dollars
and forty cents a barrel to ship it to
Seattle. There is discrimination that

Business Outlook,

The TRIBUNE wishing to learn whether
the large harvest this season has any
effect on business yet, has interviewed a
few of the different business firms. The
amount of wheat marketed yet is very
small. The bulk of it has come from
Mclean county and northern Bur
leigh, where threshing commenced a
little earlier than in the immediate
vicinity of Bismarck. A little later on
most of this wheat will come down the
river in boats and it is estimated it will
take fifty trips of 1000 bushels each to
bring the wheat of Mclean and Mercer
counties to this place, where it will be
shipped by rail. There is, however, an
obstacle which it seems beyond the
power of u merchants to overcome
There seems to be a desire among our
farmers to buy goods of eastern houses
which send out catalogues and price
lists. The home merchants feel the loss
OF this trade. Although the merchants
of Bismarck guarantee to meet the prices
of these firms and in many instances, far
undersell them, it is very difficult to per-
suade this class to examine their goods.
One farmer near Menoken brought a bill
of $50 to one of our dry goods firms and
found the home firm gave not only a
better class of goods but discounted the
Chicago house Sc. From the following
interviews an impression of the home
trade can be gained:
Frank Frisby: My business is getting
better daily. 1t is only within the past
week that I have noticed the improve
ment which I attribute to the fact that
wheat is just commencing to be marketed.
M. Eppinger: Business is quiet as
yet. Bought a heavy stock and expect
to do a big business this fall.
John Holman: The bakery business is
getting better. I have sold out every
day this week. If it keeps on this way
1 shall increase my business.
M. Michaelson: Trade is fair; has in
creased considerable this fall.
Henry Anderson: The restaurant
business is good. Since the farmers
commenced to market wheat it has in
creased and has proved a paying invest
ment.
E. L. Strauss & Bro: Business is
fair; will not feel the effects of the har-
vest, in the jewelry business, for a month
yet.
O. 81. Beal: The hardware business is
improving. Our fall trade is promising
we'll.
Ed. Brunsman: I have not felt the
effect of the good times yet but the out
look is very encouraging. g.
DR.. Hollembaek: Our trade has not
shown much advance yet, but I look for
a:decided improvement.
