Allan Mcdonald, who has been absent
from the county about a year, returned to
his home at Weller last Saturday. The
Bismarck Tribune thus speaks of Mr.. Nc
Donald's return:
North Dakota is represented almost
everywhere on the globe. One of the wan
dering flock who returned to Bismarck
yesterday was an eye Witness of the terri
? BILE tragedy enacted at New Orleans last
Saturday when eleven Italian members of
the Malta vendetta organization were eth
Saehot to death or hanged from lamp posts
and riddled with bullets. Allan Macdonald,
! pleasant-spoken Scotchman, is a farmer
near Weller in Mclean county, and has
sbeen employed down at New Orleans dur
in& the winter as a cotton stevedore. Now,
.&ecottOn stevedOre must not be construed
for a roustabout of the Missouri river Or
der. A cotton stevedore at New Orleans
commands 81 a day for every day he works,
and sometimes more, and he is in great de-
mand, as it takes an expect to store away
bales of cotton in the vessels. Winter is
the busiest season of the year at New Or
leans. Vessels are there waiting for car
goes from all parts of the world, and many
northerners make it their winter resort.
Over SO,OOO,OOO bales of cotton we're raised
during the past year. Mr.. Macdonald says
he took pains to explore the southern
country in order to make comparisons be-
tween to and this, and says the south has
as many, if not more, drawbacks than the
northwest. He is satisfied with this coun-
try, and believes if the farmers stick to it
and don't get discouraged they will come
out all right. He talked entertainingly with
q Tribune man last night regarding the
lynching at New Orleans, of which he was
q spectator, and his story of the affair is
substantially the same as the newspaper
accounts. He says the people felt outraged
at the verdict of the jury, and charged that
the jury was bribed, 100000 being usedto
accomplish that object. There are about
$4,000 Italians and Spaniards in New Or
leans, some of them very wealthy. The
Spaniards and Italians belong to the same
order. One of the lynched prisoners was
worth $4,000. In his opinion none of
the leaders will be punished. They are all
among the most prominent and influential
citizens of New Orleans.

REPORTERS DEMONSTRATE.
Resolution Bearing on the Discharg
of RepOrter,

Resolution Bearing on the Discharge
of Reporter.
There was another meeting of news
paper reporters Saturday evening.
The principal topic Of discussion was
the discharge of w. II. Marshall by the
proprietor of the Evening NeWS. Mr..
Marshall was the originator of the
scheme to organize writer's union, and
has been very active in inducing others
to affiliate. 1t was stated at the meeting
that the apparent cause of his discharge
from the Meas was because of the part he
had taken in the matter. Mr.. Marshall
stated that he had asked for an explana-
ton or reason for his discharge, but it
was denied him.
After lengthy discussion of the mat
ter, committee was appointed to draft a
resolution expressing the disapproval by
the union of the discharge of Mr.. Mar
shall by the NeWS proprietor, land the
apparent causes leading thereto"
After the appointment of committee
on bylaws, the meeting adjourned.
Mr.. Drury states that the reason alleged
by Marshall for the notice of his discharge
is not the correct one. He says that
Marshall has been neglecting his work,
and well understands that that is the
reason why his services. are to be dis
pensed with. So far as the Reporters
Union is concerned, he says he is in favor
of it.

ATHLETIC ENTERTAINMENT
Interesting Exhibition by the Sacra
mento Zoegling Club.

Interesting Exhibition by the Sacra-
mento Zoegling Club.
The Sacramento Zoegling Club held its
first invitation exhibition Saturday even
ing at Turner Hall. An audience of
about seventy-five invited guests occu-
pied seats at the north Of the gymnasium
room. Opposite was a pianist and vio-
hnist, while the center of the floor was
left for the exhibition work.
At half past eight Master II. Stoll came
forward and made very clever address.
in which he stated that the club had been
organized but six months; that its mem
bers are youths from II to 20 years, and
that the purpose is physical culture
He dilated upon the benefits of the ath-
letic exercises they engaged in, and stated
that the club desired a larger member
ship. In the name of the club he
thanked its teacher A. BinZe, and finally
begged the indulgence of the audience as
the club was new and all its members
beginners.
The club then appeared under charge
of its teacher and when marshaled these
were found to be its members: II. Uhl.

Morris, @. Uhl, G. Blauth, c. Wilke. II.
Stoll, P. Bryan, assisted by ]. Linde-
mayer.
The following exercises were then
gone through with: Iron wand exercises,
horizontal bars, fencing, shoulder group
ings, long and side horse, fire club swing
ing, parallel bars, leaping, ladder group
ings, tug-of-war (by special request).
For so young club the numbers were
executed very well. The poorest work
was the iron wand exercise, due from
failure of the files to follow the ''time" of
IMAM in front" Nevertheless the youths
are new to the work, the wands are
heavy and there was some embarrass-
lnent by reason of the club being face to
face with its first audience. All the other
numbers were much better worked, the
shoulder grouping and the long and side
horse work being especially good.
The club has every reason to be en-
couraged. 1t has pluck and youth on its
side, and in six months more it will be
able in all probability to stand up before
very sharp criticism. 1t ought to num-
ber three times the names on it's present
roster, and probably will. Certainly
these young men are engaged in training

growth of strong and healthy bodies and
