dred organizations. The Bismarck
club is resting during the vacation, but
when the schools oper again in the fall,
the club will reorganize, and expects to
get much good from the meetings it
will hold. 5
Great interest is manifested in the
coming tournament, as is shown by the
following from the Grand Forks Plain
dealer: "From all wei the state come
assurances in daily increasing numbers
that the fremen and citizens generally
are coming to the tournament in large
numbers. The complete program for
the tournament will be issued in a few
days. Tuesday the 21st will be given
up to convention business; Wednes.
day morning the grand parade will take
place. Governor Burke and staff will
be present and participate. In the
afternoon the races will commence and
be continued Thursday and Friday"
There is a movement on foot to ar
range for some kind of a celebration, in
the city, on the Rr.r-reat and gal lorious
Fourth Of July. This is pleasing, as the
people who would attend a celebration
and general jubilee in their own city,
hesitate when asked to go to a neighbor-
ing city to celebrate. Not because Of
any dislike to patronizing a neighbor
city, but because of the slight worry and
bother, incidental to hunting for trains
on which to come home, etc. AS regards
the program, a ball game will. be ar
ranged for the forenoon, while hose
company racing, running and t~rotting
races will be the features of the after
noon. In the evening a grand ball will
be given. All persons in favor of such a
movement are requestedto meet at the
city hall Saturday evening at $50.
A Castalia special to Sioux City Jour-
nal says: The steamer Libbie Conger,
operating on the river between Charles
Mix county and Sioux City, took on the
first cargo at the boat landing to-day.
1t consisted of about 200 head of fat
hogs, some seventy-fve fat cattle, a lot
OF wheat, corn and eggs. The principal
shippers were Miles Burke, Mrs. ROLAND
and Reeves & Co., with live stock, our
town merchants with butter and eggs
and farmers with grain. The lumber for
warehouses is expected by return boat,
when regular markets will be established.
1t is a great relief to farmers with stock
and grain to deliver the same at the river
and save a haul of thirty-six miles. It
is safe to say that the steamboat is now
a permanent thing, as Captain Talbot
SAYS that such a load as was supplied this
time on an irregular trip and in a few
days notice is enough to satisfy him that
there is work for two or three boats on
steady runs.
The following is found in the Cincin-
natl Enquirer Of the Both ult., Rev. R. S.
Inglis will be remembered in Bismarck,
having preached in and zeal the city:
The large and fashionable congregation
at the First Presbyterian church had
settled comfortably back in their pews
last night, and Rev. R. S. Inglis had
brauchee forth in an excellent discourse
in his usual forcible and convincing
manner, when a stir was heard! at the
rear entrance of the main aisle and a
figure in fantastic attire appeared. Dig
nifty succumbed to curiosity, and the
congregation craned their necks and
gasped for breath when they recognized
Mr.. John Mathews, a prominent citizen
and church member. With a loud utter
ance and the execution of a sort of
double-shuf1e, Mathews staggered
down the aisle, swinging an. immense
bouquet in n hand and a wreath in the
other. Arriving at the pulpit he paused,
and having had some experience with a
lasso, he deity swung the wreath around
his head and landed it on the preachers
shoulder. Then with a flourish and
Chesterfield bow he presented the
bouquet and withdrew as gracefully as
he entered. Mathews has been drink
ing from a cup other and larger than
that used in communion, and had con
ceived this peculiar plan of honoring his
pastor. Accommodation and repent
ance at leisure will follow.
