way clear to make expenses, and has
written the jamestown people in relation
to the matter. Manager Wells adds:
Especial trains; cheap fares; big races
and big crowds.
Jerry Plants: Business at the river
landing is slow, indeed. Nothing of any
Importance is going on, no boats are at
the landing and things are quiet, gener.
ally. The Josephine and Mandan are
doing some good work in the snagging
line near Sibley island, and laboring
hard to keep the river channel clear.
The workmen are still busy on the coal
barges, and have finished the second of
them, all but calking. This will prob
ably be done in a day or so. The Rose
bud will probably be back in a day or
two. -
Victor Kihm, son of the Sheridan
House proprietor, was playing Tuesday
afternoon with his twin sister about an
old barrel. They had gotten hold of a
hammer and a tenpenny nail and in
some way the little sister transfxed
Victor's thumb, driving the nail clear
through it and into the barrel. For
awhile the little fellow was passive, then
with a jerk, aided by the other hand, he
succeeded in drawing the head of the
nail through the wound and thus extri-
Gated himself, leaving the nail still fast
to the barrel.
General F~arnsworth, who speaks at
the Atheneum tomorrow evening, is on
his way to the Pacific coast to put in a
couple of weeks of campaign work in
Oregon. The national republican COM
mittee wired Chairman Spaulding that
North Dakota could have him four days
This accounts for the short notice. He
will be in Bismarck, Wednesday night,
Mandan, Thursday night, and Dickin-
son, Friday night. He is reputed to be
a fine talker, and his presence IN Bis
marck will be the signal for a genuine
reception.

preached a trial sermon before the Bap-
fist congregation there. Rev. Kline is
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of leaving
Bismarck and taking up his future resi-
dence in Watertown. During his years

the city and enter upon a new field of

A Washington special to the Mime
apolis- Tribune says: "There are still no
applications on file for the Bismarck
p%ostofice. The prospect is that Bogue
will be allowed to serve his term out.
There have been no complaints since the
investigation, several months ago. The
office is n of the best in the state, and
appears to be we'll managed. The Tri-
bune correspondent was informed at the
p%ostof6ce department today that if Mr..
Bogue continued to make as good a
record as he had been making of late he
would not be disturbed"
Fargo Argus: A beautiful oil painting
of Harrison and Reid has been received
at the republican headquarters from the
national committee, and now adorns
the front of the building at the state
committee rooms. In the center of the
pictures is painted: "Burke for gov
ernor; johnson for congress-" The
presidential figures are the production
of M of Boston's famous artists. The
neatness of their arrangement on the
building shows off in q very attractive
manner, and will be a daily reminder
from now until November of the win
ners.
r. R. Marsh: + always lived in a ter
ritory and never voted for a president.
When I came back to North Dakota the
other day I thought I might get a chance
to vote for a democratic president for
the first time, but I see the democratic
committee has disfranchised us. We
can't vote for Cleveland. His electors
will not have the ticket, and we are Or
dered to vote for Weaver electors. I
can't stand that. I I'M opposed to this
fusion business, especially where the
democrats who were in the majority give
up everything to a handful of mug
wumps and calamityites.
