E. Wells, n Of the prosperous farm
ers of Emmons county, who was in the
city Wednesday, states that the
harvesting in the western part of the
county is about finished. In the vicinity
of Williamsport, farmers are from ten
days to two weeks later in their harvest
ing. No frost was experienced there,
and the crop is satisfactory, indeed.
A. N. Leslie: The actual loss to the
ASSOCIATION was not $20.40, as appeared
in the TRIBUNE of yesterday, but $14.lO.
The cause Of this difference was the re-
duction in the hotel fare of the Yates
team, made by Proprietor Beardsley of
the Western, the kindness of whose &C.
ton in the matter we appreciate highly,
and whom we desire to thank most sim
cerely.
A. Currie: There are two mules
turned in by the assessors from Mercer
county, at a valuation of 500 each. They
will have to be raised $50 per cent, in
order to effect the equalization, and it
seems laughable that two poor, scrawny,
worn out mules, the only ones of which
Mercer county can boast, should be
raised s. much. 1t is discouraging to
the mule industry.
A special telegram from Newark, N.
j., under date of the 9th inst, says

incorporators are John M. Turner of
Mandan, N. D.; George NJ. Keasby of
Newark, and David B. Kearney of Har-
rison.
Johnny Schmidt, the little fellow who
is employed by Gerald Pierce as herder,
was thrown from his pony, Wednesday,
and had his leg broken, just above the
ankle. Doctor Porter set the broken
limb, and the boy displayed the usual
North Dakota grit during the operation.
After the bone was once more in place
ne declared that ut didn't hurt at ALL"
and at latest accounts was resting quite
easily.
Mandan Times: It is probable that
the Sitting Bull cabin will be taken to
the Minnesota state fair which opens at
Hamline on September 9Th. The mana
gers of the fair have written to Messrs.
Wickham and Thorberg Offering them
most favorable terms. If it is decided
to take the cabin down it will he accom-

men who killed Sitting Bull, and also
| his son.
Fargo Forum: W. Il. Fallon of the
Bismarck signal service. spent to-day in
Fargo on his return from the east. He
visited the Forum office and went out to
the agricultural college. Mr.. Fallon has
the North Dakota service in such shape
that it gives much better satisfaction
than ever before. He says that among
all his correspondents there is none more
! prompt or reliable than Judge Peter
Ross Of Wild Rice.
Dickinson Press: Judge Winchester
has notified the clerk of the Stark coun-
ty court to postpone the September term
Of the district court to December 5tb, at
2 p. m. This step is taken because the
regular term comes in the midst of the
busiest season for farmers and stock.
men. The judge would hold court in
Dickinson in November, but that month
is taken up with the regular terms in
Mandan and Bismarck.
Grand Forks Plaindealer: A package
received by the chamber of commerce
to-day from Governor Burke contains a

feet in diameter, constructed of many
