A twenty-five pound dynamite blast was
made at the bridgei:Saturday. A huge
stone was hurled hundreds of feet in the
air and fell in the middle of the river, be-
ing thrown fully a hundred rods. Heavy
blasts are made daily but so tar no damage
has been done.
The jamestown and Fargo papers have
taken up the local troubles OF the w. C.
T. U. of this city and are publishing some
very racy so.called developments. In the
meantime the contestants are preparing
their case to present to the district court.
And thus the work of a good order goes
on.
club played to a large audience at Emerson
institute last night and each member did
we'll. The club will present the same play
at Bismarck Monday evening May 18th,
and we can assure the people of that place
that it will be a great treat in the amuse-
ment line.
At the meeting of the penitentiary board
Saturday, Warden Haggart was given in
structiOn to commence action on the water
extension as soon as the pipe arrives,
which will be in a few days. Several bills

ans salary reduced from $50 10 1856 during
the summer.
II. II. Clark, quartermaster agent of the
United States army at this place, has &C.
cepted a position with the Indian agent at
Fort KeOgh, Montana, and left for that
placeMonday night. John Davidson has

Frank Kihm was in Spokane Falls when
last heard from. He has visited Butte,
Helena, Great Falls, Missoula and other
Montana towns n IS now making a tour
of Washington. He has not determined to
leave Bismarck, as rumored, but is simply
looking over a country of which he has
heard so much pro and con.
One of the best testimonials of the pro-
ticiency of the Bismarck roller mills is the
fact that NJ. w. Leahy, head miller, has
been awarded a diamond shirt stud from
the Northwestern Millers' ASSOCIATION for
being the best miller in the state. Mr..
Leahy, though a modest man, is joyful
over the prize he has won.

Mrs. Linda W. Slaughter from Office was
done by national officers of the w. C. T. U.

The national officers now in the city are
acquainted with the history of the case as
we'll as the cause of the trouble.
A letter from E. R. Kennedy, of Ludden,
says that owing to the tenant of his farm
being obliged to go away he will not be
able to start his Missouri slope stock ranch
this year. But he is convinced, as we'll as
others in that neighborhood, that the stock
industry will develop into one of the
greatest enterprises in the northwest.
Superintendent McCabe: l understand
that DR.. Archibald's mare reeled off a half
mile in l:o4, and the doctor himself is firm
ly convinced that before the summer is
over a record Of PIP will be cbalked down
to her credit. IT this should turn out cor
rect, jamestown will have the honor of be.
ing the home of the fastest piece of equine
flesh in the state.
A charter was issued Saturday by the

Champlne, l. N. Weir, W. W. Smith and N.
A. Lewis, of Fargo; N. o. Wirner, of Min
%neapolis, and Gustav o. Brohough, Of Red

Sheriff Donnelly: Prof. Robidou says we
will have a change of weather next Satur-
day. The change will bring warm and
pleasant days, in which grain will delight
the farmers with its rapid growth. The
moon changes on that date, which gives
rise to the prophecy. But how about the
ball game Wednesday? The professor
ought to give us pleasant weather for that
date.

at that place is competent to keep three
trains running. The shovel this side Of
the bridge is working in very hard soil
and much rock, neceSsitating considerable
blasting. The fill is now closing in al the
bottom of the ~trestle, and extra precaution
has to be exercised to avoid breaking the
timbers.
Chas. Kupitz: You may talk about fruit
on the coast country and your early oran-
ges in Florida, but | have the finest garden
in the northwest. l can fill an order for
the same order for young onions. l
have many other vegetables that are suficl-
emily large for use. We never had finer
weather than this spring to raise a garden
and l never have had the pleasure Of see
ing a finer one b [ have raised.
Bob Wallace: Nearly all the private
banks in the state have taken out charters,
either state or national, and are now run.
ming conformable to the statute. 1 think
the practical workings of the law will be
that over a million dollars will be added to
the assessment OF the state. 1t will entail
a large amount Of work in my Office in the
way of examinations, checking up, etc. l
do not anticipate that l will be burdened
with much idle time this summer in conse-
quence.
Harvey Harris: We had one of the best
conventions at Cincinnati l ever have had
the pleasure of attending. 1t was a Blaine
convention by a large majority, but no one
was allowed to propose any measure that
could result beneficial to man and not to
party. The convention endorsed Ameri-
can protection and reciprocal measures
with the American continent. w. B. Allen
was made chairman Of the credential COM
mittee and l was on the committee of reso.
lutions and time and place of next meet
ing, which, l think, will be in Minneapo-
lis.
The steam shovel struck some very hard
banks Thursday, and it was with difficulty
that a blast could be made that would
loosen the dirt sufficiently for the shovel
to work in. In the last blast ten large
dynamite cartridges were used, making
about 18 pounds. 1t is now probable that
