Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1892-11-18

n this will be more pleasing as comic
opera Of a high grade is always more
welcome than grand opera.
After the presentation Of several petit
tons from the express-messengers on the
Bismarck and Helena run, the Express
company has decided to increase the
number of men from five to six. This
lengthens the duration of their clay
over at this point from a day and two
nights to two days and three nights.
The run between Bismarck and Helena
is a long one-nearly 600 miles-and Is
the amount of express business at this
time of the year is considerable, the
company is to be commended for their
consideration in granting the extra
man.
Col. Whitford has lost his horse
"Billy," whose familiar form has been
seen on streets almost daily for the
past seven years. His commercial value
was not great, but he was priced be-
cause of his safe and reliable qualities.
Mr.. Whitford attributes his loss to the
calamityite feature of the recent cleo.
tions, but is candid enough to admit
that a plate of trough on rats" the ami
NAL had eaten a few hours previously
may have had something to do with his
sudden demise. It is hoped the
calamity feature will not so work on the
colonel's mind as to lead him to think Of
leaving the state, although it has been
rumored that his family may possibly go
! east for the winter.
Hon. W. H. Standish, attorney gen.
eral elect, in Grand Forks Herald: I
propose to remove with my family to
Bismarck, aid the legislature to make
good laws and see they are enforced
when made. I have no feelings against
railroads O. elevators, but I propose, in
side of a year, to see that every railroad
in the state constructs for the people q
cheap platform for loading grain, etc.,
into cars, not under existing laws, but q
new one that I think the legislature will
pass when the difficulty in all existing
legislation Of that nature for the last
eight years is explained to them, and
which difficulty to this date has never
been suggested that I I'M aware of.
Senator Worst: Well, we're scooped,
and that is about all the explanation.
there is to be made. Now that
the democrats are in power, l
want to see them in control of every
branch of the government, and live up
to their platform. l want to see them
repeal the Mckinley law, take the 10
per cent. tax off state banks, and do all
these other things they are pledged to
do. If they do, we will come out Oh
top in the end, and if they don't, they
are hypocritical and people will find it
out. I intend to nov up to the city
next Monday, and remain here the
balance of the winter. After I get
settled, I expect to go out west and take
a hunt.
What has become of the proposed
Bismarck democratic celebration. Out
in Nelson county some 800 enthusiastic
demo pops greeted Governor elect
Shortridge and Attorney General Stan
dish with two brass bands and a large
and v%ariegated amount of fireworks. Up
in Grafton, the home county (before cleo.
tion) of Brothers Spencer and Douglass,
the victorious hosts have raised-a pot of
$500 and propose to make the eagle yell
as never before in North Dakota. Has
the proud bird split its throat? Let the
capital city democrats be up and doing
and be in touch with the outside world.
The successors of Postmaster Bogue,
Surveyor General Williams, Register
Neil and Receiver Fisher are expected
to take the initial steps soon. ,I
