Since then he has had to accept such

Miss Jessie Slaughter, who closed 8
short term of school at Dakem, Emmone
county, and returned to Bismarck last
Tuesday, left Friday morning for Fal
coner, Mclean county, to open a siz
months term, beginning Monday, April 5
The Dickinson Stock Growers ~associa'
ton have a band of sheep located twelve
miles north of Steele, Kidder county,
under the supervision of Mr.. e. b. O.
Smith. Mr.. Smith reports the flock
numbering about 1900 as in splendid
condition despite the cold winter and
great snow fall and that they have lost
but fourteen out of the flock all winter.
Mandan Pioneer: J. S. Green will
live at Fort Lincoln where he will en-
gage in the cattle and horse business.
He has lately been stopping at the Inter
Ocean hotel, settling up the old books
Of the Riverside Ranch company and
also doing necessary work for the stock
growers brand book. This book, we
may say, is going to make q very credi-
table showing for 60 young an associa-
ton.
Rev. G. A. Chambers: : I wish to ex-
tend congratulations to the Rev. Nj.
Kline. for his and his peoples success,
in clearing their church of it's burden of
Indebtedness. st. Georges church, with
its fine property Of church building and
one-half block, is and has been for
years, free from any encumbrance of
debt, and better than all, current ex-
penses are met and paid in full each
week. +
Chief of Police Molloy Wednesday ar
rested a stranger who was trying to sell
a new coat for $3.50, which was worth at
least $11y0O. It was evident he had
stolen the garment, as it was too small
for him and the "tags'' had not been torn
off, but upon examination before Judge
Chase no proof could be produced that
he had come by the coat dishonesty and
in consequence he was released. He
gave his name as W. S. Sprague, a ma
tive of Michigan, on his way west.
Hon. Bailey Fuller wss unanimously
elected mayor of Jamestown Monday for
the third time, and for that reason and
under such circumstances any little &C.
| centricities in his manner at this time
are excusable. For instance, he was
drawn on the United States grand jury
and ought to have landed his person in
the court room Wednesday. Instead of so
doing he sends a polite telegram to his
old friend Colonel Dodge saying that it
is impossible for him to come and to pre-
sent his compliments to "Judge Barnes"
Of course Bailey means Judge Thomas.
E. T. Kearney makes some suggestions
in the jamestown Alert that ought to be
acted on all over the state. He says: ut
seems to me that the natural way for a
man to mark the Australian ballot u.s. to
cross off the name he does not want to
vote for instead of making a cross op-
posite the name he does intend to vote
for. Ipredict that a good many votes
will not be counted at the first election
under the new system, owing to ignor-
ance Of voters. It has been suggested
to hold meetings in the school houses
of the county and give voters .intstruc-
tions before election day.
A Bismarck telegram in the Pioneer
Press says that "along the line of the
Northern Pacific railroad for three miles
east of Bismarck not a single telegraph
pole is standing-they were snapped off
like pipe STEMS" The author of this
telegram will please come forward and
receive the medal. As a matter of fact
the night of the recent storm that ragged
SO %furiously all over the southwestern
country, the Northern Pacific Geographic
route was the only transcontinental line
in operation. Dispatches from the east
to Santa Fe, points in Texas and New
Mexico were sent via the northern route
and San Francisco.
Farmer John A. Bump of Sterling
sends in his crop report, showing that
he had 1,617 bushels of wheat, and 1920
bushels of oats in 1891, and eight acres
of potatoes that yielded heavy. He says
he didnt-couldn't dig 'em all-15O bu-
shells to the acre anyhow. Mr.. Bump
had poor seed and his wheat did not
yield we'll. He says: II had the finest
cabbage and vegetables I ever saw. I
have had experience in cattle and hogs,
and say you can raise stock here as
cheap or cheaper than any other state
in the union. There is plenty OF hay to
cut, and stock will keep fat on it if they
get plenty, and shelter to protect them
The Fargo Forum, in speaking of the
presence of Superintendent Ogden in
Fargo, says: The pioneer educator ia
looking unoommonly well, and like all
other Dakotans, is feeling jubilant over
the splendid outlook for a season of pros.
