There is every indication Of the season be

Mandan Pioneer: 1t is rumored that
Rev. I. q. Sloan has decided, on account of
i'll health, to retire from pastoral work and
that he will preach his farewell sermon on
Sunday. Next week he will go to Glencoe
and superintend the completion of the
church there, which will take about a
month, and then he will 20 east.
Rev. S. E. Ryan: [ 20 to Wahpeton to-
night to be- present at the trustees meet
ing of the Red River Valley university,
Thursday, and also to attend the laying Of
the corner stone. Have you a TRIBUNE
handy? Well, give it me. am proud of
our capital city paper aud l wish to place
one in the corner stone. We expect to
have grand exercises and a rapid compile
ton OF the building.
Pierre Capital: The gauge in the Mis-
and five inches above low water. The
highest point reached by the water two or
three days ago was six feet and eight in
ches above low water. Two or three in
ches fall in the river make a big difference
in the looks of the river as that much raise
will cover a large area OF sand bar wnen
the water reaches a certain stage.
Mr.. Ike Steen, who for the past year has
occupied the position Of superintendent of
the capitol building, has resigned and re-
turned to his home in Grand Forks
warm friends by his courteous and bust
nesslike way of conducting his duties, and
the best wishes of all 20 with him. Grand
Forks will once more have here celebrated
penman in her midst, as Mr.. Steen is &C
knowledged to be the best Quill driver
around.
jamestown Alert: Captain Gleason is a
happy old man to-day, having in his DOS
session a piece of Tipperary brown turf,
dug from a spot in Ireland within a few
rods of where he was born. The turf was
Conley, and the captain says, IF l wa to
go hungry tonight, and a man would offer
me a 500 for the turf 1 wouldn't take It,"
Turf is the poor mans fuel in Ireland, and
when seen after years of absence never fails
to excite the greatest interest in all pat
riotic Irishmen.
The agricultural editor of the TRIBUNE
interviewed a large number of grangers
visiting the city Friday in relation to
the present condition and general outlook
for a satisfactory harvest. No one had any
serious complaint to offer; and when the
average farmer Is unable to find a reason
able cause upon which to base a complaint
about the crops, the weather or some det-
rimental condition bearing on his business,
1t is certainly safe to conclude that things
on the Missouri slope are prosperous and
altogether lovely.
Captain Sam Mariner of the Bachelor
caught one of the newly imported bridge
laborers in the act of appropriating to his
W use without proper authority a stove
belonging to the Benton Transportation
company and swOre out a warrant for his
arrest. Policeman Marsh went down and
secured the offender, who was taken be-
fore Judge Fort. He acknowledged the
theft and was sentenced to a fine and
costs, amounting to $14. He didn't have
the ready cash and consequently was
placed in the county bastile.
1t rains every day now and the slightest
provocation brings the drops tumbling
down. Tuesday morning about 5 o'clock
a heavy southeast storm approached the
capital and poured forth its moisture all
day and the end is not yet. The oldest of
old-tlmers, who get the credit Of knowing,
say positively that the hay crop is assured.
They base their claims OH the fact that
sufficient rain has now fallen, and more
than has insured plenty OF hay in in past
years. North Dakota has little use for her
irrigation committee this year.
Mrs. Belk had a narrow escape Thursday
from a serious injury. She was on the
way to the landing to meet her husband,
Captain Belk of the Rosebud. When Just
across the railroad track at the west end OF
Main street, he horse became frightened at
the switch engine and started to run. Mrs.
Belk managed to hold him until he took a
notion to dash down the embankment, and
in so doing, upset the buggy and tangled
himself in the harness. When help
reached her, Mrs. Belk was beneath the
buggy, which was turned over, and the
horse was standing still. No particular
damage was done, beyond the breaking Of
the thills and back Of the buggy. Mrs.
Belk was badly shaked up, but otherwise
uninjured.
Among the visitors in the city Saturday
escorted to the residence of Warden Hag-
CART, Henry Bentley and Arthur Lane, both
convicted last week at S]herbrooke Of the
crime OF grand larceny and sentenced by
Judge Mcconnell to reside in this place for
SIX months n n year respectively. Mr..
Linz is one of the foremost citizens of that
prosperous community and reports the
crop outlook as excellent and that a much
larger acreage than before is in the ground.
He also reported that a horrible murder in
his county. has just been discovered.
