Immediately. MI. Plenty resumed his

journey saturday evening".
Elliott Barnes leaves this morning for
Billings, where he will purchase a team
and make other preparations for the
hunting trip which he and DR.. Kendrick
are going to take in Wyoming. The
doctor will join him at Billings next
Tuesday. They will be gone a month
and will no doubt have some thrilling
adventures and hair breadth escapes
Fargo Argus: Four car loads of young
stock stopped in the city Wednesday on
their way from Sank Center, Mimi, to
Bismarck. The four cars contained LAT
head, and they We're packed in so close
together that eleven had died or we're
injured so badly hat they had to be
killed when they arrived in this city.
The TRIBUNE was under the impress
sion that it had noted the arrival of a
son and heir in the household of John
Holman, but on looking over the files
finds that the announcement was in
advertently left out. John is bearing up
bravely under his additional good for
tune, and Mrs. Holman and John Jr., are
doing nicely.
The homestead case of Mrs. o. J.
Simons of Wogansport has at last been
decided by the secretary Of the interior.
It is held that she cannot make final
proof on the ground that a married
woman cannot maintain a separate resi-
dence from that of her husband.
Through a technicality this woman, who
is certainly entitled to the land, must for
felt her right to it.
J.. A. Bates: The Long Lake bridge
ought to be fixed so it can be used. a
great deal of wheat in Emmons and
Logan counties remains to be marketed,
and it will be impossible to cross the
creek soon. If Bismarck doesn't get this
wheat and the tide of farmers is turned
to some other market it will be because
of this bridge. It a great deal to
Bismarck merchants.
Another edition of this weeks Weekly
TRIBUNE will be printed if the demand
for extra copies requires it. Every far
mai in this part of North Dakota ought
to have from a dozen to 100 to send to
friends in the east or in the "old coun-
try" and the business men cannot invest
procuring these papers and giving them
to the farmers to send east.
AS the TRIBUNE predicted, there was
q large turn out at the dance given last
night by the Governors Guards, and the
soldier boys made it pleasant for those
in attendance. The different commit
tees locked after all the arrangements
for the pleasure of the dancers and the
success of the ball. Professors Fetzer
furnished the music, which was up to
his usual excellent standard.
st. Patrick's day was celebrated by
unusual solemnities at st. Mary's church,
high mass being celebrated at 9 a. M,
Father Martin, the pastor, being cele-
brant, and Father Charles, a redemp-
torist father from Chicago, who, on his
way to Seattle, had stopped off to cele-
brate st. Patrick's day with Father
Martin, preached an eloquent and in
structive sermon on Ireland's great
patron saint. A large congregation at
tended the service.
There is q popularity about the eli
mate of the Missouri slope. It averages
much warmer here than anywhere in the
state east of here. Residents of the
Red River valley who visit the capital
occasionally find this very noticeable
and enjoyable. The crop season on the
Missouri slope is four weeks longer than
in the Red River ~valley-two weeks
later in the fall. Burleigh county gets
the benefit of numerous chinook winds
that are dissipated before they reach
points 200 miles east.
jamestown Alert: superintendent
McCabe is in ST. Paul assisting in max
ing a time card which goes into effect
April Sd. Nos. 3 and l will run nearly
the same as last year going west, and
the east bound trains will probably run
on about the same time as before. The
extra trains are already needed, as travel
has greatly increased during the past
month. Daily eastern papers will be re-
ceived then in the evening instead of in
the morning, and people along the line
will welcome the additional trains for
numerous reasons.
The supper givenThursday evening by
the ladies of st. Mary's church in the old
postotice building was we'll patronized
and the ladies realized a handsome sum
for the church. They also served sup
per for those who attended the Govern
or's Guards dance Thursday night. Too
much praise cannot be given the ladies
whohad charge of the supper and who
worked so zealously to make 1t a success.
They will probably be about the weariest
lot of people in Bismarck to-day, having
worked all day Thursday preparing the
viands, and Thursday night served supper
from 6 o'clock till midnight
