Of cholera: in Bismarck, are still appar-
ent. Frank Kihm says that four pas
sengers on No. l yesterday intended to
stop Owe at this place, but changed
their minds upon reading the cholera
fake in the Minneapolis Tribune. And
the anger of the citizens still a
warm. "a
Bill Low drove down from his Sheri-
dan county ranch, Tuesday, with fifty
head of beeves for shipment. The cattle
were placed in the stockyards, and at
night broke the fence and took the home
trail, having travelled as far as the
Hayes farm, before they we're overhauled
by Low Wednesday morning. AS the
cattle were very fat, the run will result
in a quite perceptible shrinkage in
weight and value.
Fargo Forum: The railroad commits
sioners we're in session here Tuesday,
Secretary Edgerley, Chairman Walsh,
FAndrew Slotten and Geo. H. Harmon
being present. The board decided to
strike out rule II, which is the one re-
quiring daily elevator reports and so
much objected to by them. They set
Sept % for a hearing on the platform
law. Attorney General Spencer was
present and so was Colonel Dodge.
Gerald Pierce: J. J. Hill, president of
the Great Northern railway, has given
his check OF the First National bank of
st. Paul for s136,S5o, in full payment of
an insurance policy in the New York
Life Insurance Co. of 800, COCOON his life
and an annuity of $12,5OO, commencing
ten years hence. This is the largest sum
ever paid for a single life insurance
policy in the history of the business,
and shows what confidence wealthy men
have in the New York Life. j
Surveyor General Williams in Fargo
Forum: The surveying work generally
throughout the state is nearly finished.
Several of u crews will com il this
week, while the remainder of the crews
are expected Ill by the first Of the month.
The surveying done this year amounts
to about the same as that of last year,
but as the appropriations we're exceed
ingly large, some of last years work was
carried over, consequently the appro-
priations this year have been very small.
It Is earnestly requested that all who
intend sending children to the primary
department of the public school in this
city shall avail themselves of the oppor:
tunity before the time expires for having
them enrolled. By order of the board of
education none will be received into
that room between September 18th and
the time Of winter examinations for pro-
motion. This step is necessary to pre-
vent confusion in that grade, as new
classes cannot be started oftener than
twice a year.
Grand Forks Herald: Col. Brown has
hit upon a novel idea which he is carry
ing out, and which will draw attention
to North Dakota at the National G. A.
K. c~onventioe, as a wheat-growlng state.
He will encircle a large number of canes
with wheat tied on with red, white and
blue ribbons. Rosettes of wheat will
also be worn by the North Dakota boys
in blue. The idea is novel and the effect
will be immense. The canes and rosettes
will be shipped and distributed on the
day of the parade.
Mandan Pioneer: Mr.. G. M. Dahl, re
publican candidate for secretary OF state,
was calling on his Mandan friends on
Wednesday. He says he has no fears
about the success OF the republican
ticket whatever. Thinking men all over
the state who carefully watch the gen.
eral trend of affairs say the republican
ticket will be elected. The admins
stration of state affairs have been such
that when the people are told of the re-
suits they will see plainly their general
interests have not been neglected.
All old-time Bismarckers will remem-
Der J. G. O.. Redington, or "Comrade
Redington," as he preferred to be desig-
mated, who came to Bismarck some five
years ago, and formed companies of
soldiers from the ranks of the school
children, and gave an exhibition of drill
ing and camp life in the Atheneum. Mr..
Redington is now the editor of the
"Acme Haversack," and as such sends
the TRIBUNE a copy of the Head
quarters Republican Glee Book, a
pamphlet containing seventy-ive songs,
many cartoons and a large amount Of
campaign material 10 the way Of figures
and statistics. The book is published at
Syracuse, N. Y, by the printing COM
pany of which MI. Redington is mana
ger.
Doctor De Vaux, state superintendent
of public health, was in the city Fri
day, having been summoned here by
