A number of Bismarck's citizens were
yesterday displaying copies of a work
entitled, "a Northern Pacific Tour
which were secured through the kind
ness of Agent Davidson. The book is in
pamphlet form, written in a captivating
style, and containing representations oil
scenery along the line of the Northern
Pacific, which are thoroughly works OF
art. The Dakotas, including the wheat
lands of the Red River valley and the
Missouri slope, the Bad Lands, Yellow.
stone park, the mountains. and lakes Of
the western country, each is accurately
represented and described. In short, the
book is a desirable addition to any
library.
Rev. Beers: Yes, we are getting along
nicely. We expect to have the church
repaired and remodeled in the near fu-
ture, the inside reprinted and new win
COWS placed in the south end. The par
sonage will, also. be reprinted. How do
I like your city? 1t is the most finely
located city in the state, without one ex-
ception. The dryness of the climate and
the excellence of the water are conducive
to good health, and. the height of the
country here, renders the streets always
dry. In fact, I prefer Bismarck, as a
residence city to any one in the state.
Although I have been here but a short
time, my congregations are large, and
taking everything into consideration, I
am highly pleased with this, my new
field of labor.
1. G. DeGraf: I have seen a greater
number Of farmers on the streets, re-
Gently, than for some time. There is
quite a deal of. wheat coming in, too,
for this time of the year, and I have
seen and handled quite a number of
wheat checks. The farmers are all re-
joicing over the excellent prospects, and
they say that if things continue as now,
the wheat crop will rival that Of 81, not
w~ithstanding the lateness of the season.
No, we will hardly get forty-five bushels
to the acre and sell it at $1.25a bushel,
but we will get enough to prove that
North Dakota is the state for farmers.
Another thing: Last year, farmers were
unable to handle their wheat, and I was
told, to-day, of a farmer at Menoken
who lost $1,500, because he had to carry
much of his wheat over. This fall, they
will profit by experience, and the wheat
will either be safely threshed or
cared for in such a way that no loss will
be incurred.
OThere was a little ripple of excitement
on the kstreets, Tuesday noon, and the
time tried and fire tested Julius Stevens
was the cynosure of all eyes. julius
was speeding down Main street, behind
his cam, when some one from the
street suggested in a rather loud tone of
voice that he "stop." Julius raced the
horses up to a hydrant aud tied them,
after which he sped down the sidewalk,
in q vain endeavor to find the offender.
Unsuccessful, he started again down the
street, when the cries were renewed.
This was the last straw, and picking up
two stones of fear-inspiring proportions,
Julius renewed his search. Again he
was disappointed, and after threatening
to bestrew the thoroughfare with "dead
corpses," he went his way. During the
ordeal, he looked the very incarnation of
ferceness. Some day his temper will
get the better Of him, and some one will
get hurt.
A. Van Horn: On the way down from
Coal Harbor to Washburn We came
upon a strange looking object lying in
the road which proved to be Mrs.
Weller, wife of Charley Weller Of the
town Of that name in Mclean county.
She was in a terrible condition and
almost unconscious. Her clothes were
nearly all torn off Of her, and her face
was terribly mutilated. She had been
out horseback riding and the mosquitoes
being numerous the pony had become
nervous and uncomfortable. She was
thrown and in falling caught her hand
in the picket rope which hung on the
saddle. She must have been dragged
q quarter Of a mile or more. We brought
her back to- Weller and DR.. Reid was
