Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1892-02-05
The Bismarek Trihnme.
CITY AND

A bouncing baby girl arrived Thursday
evening at the home of Mr.. A. F. Mar
quett.
Postmaster Ramsett of Was hburn, ha
resigned and recommends Larry Cassel-
man as his successor.
And now comes the report from Wash
ton that "Lleut. York, Of Bismarck, N.
d., is seeking a reinstatement in the
army" What a celebrated place Bis
marck is, anyhow.
State Treasurer Booker: My family
are in southern California this winter
and will remain till June. The children
are going to school. I'm going out to
join them for a month or two.
Henry Grambs, who is undergoing
medical treatment in Chicago, writes
that the attending physician assures him
that he can be cured, but that it will
probably take five or six months to do it.
Another attempt to move the old
Maratta office was made Wednesday, and
the wagon scheme proved a success.
Heavy timbers were put in, and not to
exceed two hours was required to move
the building over the track.
It is said that Michael Lally, who sold
out his Dickinson mine to the new COM
pany-the Lehigh company in which
McGillivray is supposed to own a half
interest-got $4,000 in cold cash and
went back to old Ireland to celebrate
his success.
A warrant was presented to the city
treasurer Wednesday for payment that
bears date in 1881, with a demand for
payment and interest at the regulation
rate for eleven years. The officials are
looking up the matter and expect to find
that the warrant was called for payment
years ago, and hence that interest
ceased.
Never in the history of the Missouri
slope were prairie chickens so plentiful
as now, and the farmers, unmindful of
the law, are bringing EN- in. Those
who know the penalties of the law say
that ''as Bismarck sports are killing 'em,
they (the farmers) don't see why they
haven't the right" It's a shame that
prairie chickens should be killed now
as every pair killed now means a dozen
or twenty less next spring.
An exchange says: "Sufferers from
grip will find the following simple
remedy a good one for those severe
pains in the nos and eyes that follow
hard cases. Heat a pint of water to
boiling point in a tin dish with as small
an opening as possible, and pour in a
dozen drops of carbolic acid. Remove
from the stove and inhale through the
nostrils the steam that arises. Repeat
the operation four or five times during
the day and your nose and head will be
all right
Ed. Higbee, chief draughtsman in the
United States surveyor generals office,
is at work on a large and what will be
a most accurate and complete map of
North Dakota. His information as to
county lines, etc., is being compiled
from the returns in the state auditors
office, while Secretary Edgerley. of the
railroad commissioners, is getting the
data from the railroad companies as to
the new lines in the state. It is safe to
say when done the job will be accurate
and comprehensive.
In a letter to a friend in this city j.
F. Miller, formerly of the TRIBUNE, but
now in Washington, says of the weather
down there. "It has been very disa-
greeable for several weeks and the snow
is quite a novelty, at least I thought so
when I found I would have to pay the
modest sum of $500 an hour for a horse
and cutter. They we're in great demand
at that price. There never was, per-
haps, SO much snow here and everybody
seemed to go crazy over it, but it has
all vanished and mud and rain prevail"
w. G. Gooding, custodian of the
abandoned military post of Fort Lincoln,
was in the city Thursday consulting
with a special agent of the government
in relation to the depredations being
made at the post. It seems that settlers
are engaged in the practice Of carrying
off doors, windows, blinds, hinges, shelly
ing, lumber, etc., and the custodian has
been unable to catch the thieves. Ar
rangements have now been made so that
it will be extremely hazardous for SET
tiers to plumber the old buildings at
Fort Lincoln. It will be cheaper, in
the long run, tor them to go to Mandan
and purchase new lumber.
w. B. Watson in jamestown Alert: AS
n of the early corners to Dakota, I
we'll remember sleeping in a tent in
jamestown in the summer of 1873, and
still recall the mosquitoes that nearly ate
US up. I was then on my way to Bis
marck. Have been IN Montana a num-
her of wars. think voura ia a oO,d
