working in the railroad shops they are
unable to get away on week days.
Three strolling italian musicians, (?)
with the inevitable monkey, made a
goodly part of the day hideous and u
ceeded in exacting from the thoroughly
exasperated populace, enough nickels
and dimes to make a good days wages,
yesterday.
Those who have come down, recently,
from Helena, say that the Ancient Order
of United Workmen convention is hav-
ing an exciting time in Helena. There
are over 1000 delegates ln' attendance,
and the city is lively, as would be ex-
pect during such an occasion.
A night Waterman will be placed on
duty at the old fort, Lincoln, at once
The rustlers and raiders are on a rustic,
seven doors, and all.outside ones, having
been taken from the "Custer" house, a
residence builded way back in the
seventies for the use of General Custer.
A new feature of entertainment was
introduced at the Kickapoo show last
Saturday evening in which Professor
Whipple, the magician, displayed as fine
a lot of magic-lantern views rs was ever
seen in the city. The views are scenic
and historic, and are certainly excellent.
Agent Davidson: There are bad
breaks in the road west, one near Gar
rison and another on the Cascade di-
vision. All trains running east, are
makeup trains. No. 1 of tonight will
probably be on time, but just how soon
things will be running smoothly again
l cannot say.
The sidewalk on Broadway, which was
damaged by Fridays heavy rains, is
being repaired. For a space Of about
twenty-five feet, the sidewalk was
rendered unsafe, and all the planks we're

d%erneath, and it will to-day be in a
serviceable condition.

Word has been received that there is
a grey mare running loose about the
town, followed by a young colt, and
that the mare has a running sore on the
shoulder, which, evidently, receives no
attention. This is one Of a number of
cases of the kind, and the proper author
tiles should look into the matter.
Tuesday was the first day of the
third annual encampment, North d.
kota department of the G.. A. R. The
following Bismarck members, we're

ing: "Our Union" w. n. Winchester;

It is noticeable that of late, the city
team has been earning it's board. The
horses have been used almost daily, in
improving the looks of the streets, and
hauling away piles of unsightly rubbish.
Yesterday they we're being used to re-
move the pile of ashes and dirt, collected
on the lot between the First National
bank and Central block.
Fargo Republican: The employees of
the Northern Pacific road on the Da-
kota division, are going to have a
splendid time at their picnic at Detroit
lake, if the committee, who have the
matter in charge, car insure it to them.
The committee is going about it's work
with a will and expects to have every ar
rangement completed for the event in
ample season.
jamestown Alert: It is a subject of

landscape as occasional groves of trees
along the railroad and the growth of
years is now being lost in many cases.
jamestown Capital: Over in the wild
and woody town of Washburn on the
Missouri river a teachers institute was
held last week, and Supt. J. T. Davis
