age twenty bushels por acre or better
and the entire state seventeen or better.

A Helena dispatch to the Butte Miner
says: "'Black PEARL the famous colored
pugilist of Minneapolis, sent 5000 to
Helena to-day to bet that he could stop
Ike Hayes in eight rounds. The money
was covered in five minutes. Hayes is

Mayor pro tenn. Dietrich, when asked
Friday if he would veto the resolution
to raise the salary of the city clerk, said
he would. He said he had had men offer
to do the work for 800 per month and
give a bond for it's faithful performance.
The city Of Pierre pays only 80 a meet
ing of the council and the clerk does the
other work gratis. MI. Dietrich said he
did not know how the absent aldermen
would vote, but he believes they will not
pay the price demanded of them by the
clerk.
Messrs. Dryer and Lyons of Steele
and Arthur A. Brundage of Dawson
have undertaken to make an exhibit of
the products and resources of Kidder
county at the Minneapolis exposition. In
view of the fact that there is likely to be
no fair here this fall, this would be a
worthy example for the people of Bur-
leigh county to emulate. Burleigh coun-
ty carried off the banner once before at
Minneapolis, and the crops of all kinds
are certainly as good this year as they
ever were.
G. M. Mandigo of Williamsport had a
lively runaway Thursday morning, but
fortunately little damage was done. He
was driving in front of the Custer house
when the breast strap broke and let the
pole of the buggy drop to the ground.
The streets we're thronged with teams
and people, AMI MI. Mandigo ran the
horses against the sidewalk where they
broke loose and we're finally captured at
Apple creek. Beyond the breaking of
the pole and whifletrees no damage was
done.
While Misses Lille Webb and Pearl
Palmer we're driving, Thursday evening,
the horse, which is very gentle under the
saddle, but not much accustomed to har-
ness, became frightened and, turning
short, threw the occupants out. Miss
Webb held fast to the lines and was
dragged twice across the road, and when
picked up was unconscious. She was
not badly hurt, however, her injuries be-
ing mostly bruises. Miss Palmer was
also somewhat bruised by being thrown
to the ground, but not badly. The horse
went home without doing further dam
age.

of six to five for M. L. Marsh. MI. Reade
resigned the presidency of the depart
ment and o. II. Will was elected to sue
coed him. Ed Sloan was promoted to
vice-president to fill the vacancy of the
election of o. II. Will. The resignation
of J.. G.. Rapelje as assistant chief was
accepted and a special meeting will be
