able that some large room will be Sc
cured, and fitted up for the purposes o.
a gymnasium. although nothing definite
can be said, as yet. Still, every city
needs such an institution, and it is to be
hoped that those who are active in push
ing the work, will meet with encourage
ment.
A deal was consummated yesterday
whereby julius Stevens for a considera
ton of $3.50, purchased the bakery
business and good wilt of Geo. Mertz
the Fifth street baker. Mr.. Mertz hat
been physically unable to work for some
time past and 1t has been impossible tc
attend his business and sa tisfy the wants
of his customers. julius will run q
metropolitan bakery.
W. G. Steiber: Yes, I think it is ,onl,
just that I should present my case te
the council, with a statement of my loss
and ask them to consider it. It puts me
back with my other work, besides the
actual damage it did, and
think it no more than right that
should be reimbursed, although if the
council does not think as l do, I shall
take no extreme measures.
DR.. Langdon, state veterinary sur
geon, was summoned to this locality
yesterday to investigate supposed cases
of CHAMBERS at Burr Oak; also farcy in a
mare owned by MCGEE brothers near
Bismarck. The latter was pronounced
a case of blood poison and durable. The
doctor is one of the best breeders of
trotting horses in the northwest and has
several youngsters, one and two years
old, that have shown phenomenal speed.
Already the street commissioners are
at work repairing and fixing up the
highways damaged by the flood. At
Sixth and Broadway, two street cross
ings are almost entirely ruined, the planks
torn and twisted from position, and new
crossings are in course of construction.
At other places in the city, walks are
damaged and unsafe, end as soon as it is
possible for the authorities to get
around to it they will be repaired, so be
patient.
Six houses are reported as having
been or the list Wednesday night. The
two Balm houses back of Fortunes
place received a full share of electricity.
1t is lucky, indeed, that the damage done
was merely e temporary inconvenience,
which can soon be repaired, and that no
lives we're lost. The storm center seemed
to be in Bismarck, for this number of
houses damaged by lightning within
such a short space of time is e%xtraordin-
airy.
James Bastron: 1 never saw mosquitoes
80 thick on the prairie as this year. I
have known, in some instances of stock
being driven thirty or forty miles by
them. Stock, however, is looking ex-
ceedingly fine this season. The grass is
excellent. I have about forty head Of
horses. I let them shift for themselves.
They come home on an average of four
a year. It's curious how they
back, but they do, if not detained.
Its a good horse country.
The stock shipping season has already
Saturday morning a trainload
Of beeves passed through from the west,
on route to Chicago. This is rather
early, but, because of the heavy rains,
grass is abundant and fattening, and
beeves mature early, and can be shipped
at almost any time from now forth.
From the number of cattle that have
been shipped into the western part of
state this spring, the corresponding
shipment of beeves to market will be
large.
Reports Of damage from water keep
in, steadily. The cellar below
the store of A. Healy, on Sixth street
was filled with water. This is the third
it has been flooded, and MI. Healy,
profiting by past experience bad few
articles in it. Only about twenty-five
pounds of butter we're lost, and, aside
from the inconvenience of having five
feet of water in the cellar, the damage is
slight. The cellar below Doctor Dunn's
residence, also, is filled to the floor.
Grand Forks Herald: The board of
railroad commissioners Tuesday visited
all points on the Larimore-L angdon line
and received petitions for additional
shipping facilities at nearly all stations.
Langdon and Milton asked for shipping
platforms, Inkster for a 300-foot extern
sion of siding and a platform, Conway
and McCanna want platforms, and
Pisek a depot. Since the visit of the
commissioners, last year, depot build:
buildings have been erected at ~Edin.
