Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1892-04-01
BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY. APRIL / 1892.

T. unions are o clearly defned-one
still in the union, the other engaged in
open se~cession-and both glad of it.
Major Jos. A. Rhodes, Apple Creek,
has rented the McLung farm and will
move onto it before long.
A gentleman writes from Chase, Pa,
asking for a copy of the TRIBUNE, that
he may obtain further information re-
garding Bismarck and surrounding
country. He says from what he has
read he is favorably impressed.
-Bismarckers and other North Dako-
tans will watch the West Superior
m~ayoralty fight with some interest.
Hon. j. w. Scott, formerly of Valley
City, is being boosted by the North Da-
kota colony for mayor of West Superior.
He was nominated by the republicans
and Thursday night the peopele's party
met to put up a ticket and SCOTS name
was presented for endorsement. A dele
gate named Dargis, city clerk, created a
sensation by claiming he had been ap-
preached by a lawyer named Mills with
1926 in SCOTS behalf. Mills denied it.
Dargis made affidavit, and Mills took
oath in front of the audience that he
gave him $25 for legitimate purpose
only. Scott was finally endorsed by two
majority. There's bad blood brewing
and the election promises to be the
most exciting in the history of West
Superior.
Jamestown Alert: Jesse Slaughter,
daughter of DR.. Slaughter of Bismarck,
is teaching school in Emmons county
and has sent her father a sketch of her
present boarding house andsurroundings.
The house is seen just peeping from a
bank of snow which covers the sides of
the dwelling and leaves only a portion of
the roof and the windows and doors ex-
posed. The school house is also depicted
in the same white blanket of snow, with
the doors and windows just visible. DR..
Slaughter has greatly improved in health
during the last few weeks and expects
to return home Monday next. He has
gained in weight considerably and feels
like beginning spring, work on his Bur
leigh county farm.
Miss Jessamine Slaughter's school in
the Russian German settlement of
Dakem, Emmons county, closed last
Friday with interesting exercises. SO
the school term was short. Miss Jessa-
mine taught g~ratultously on Saturdays,
and is very enthusiastic over the ability
displayed and the progress made by the
eighteen pupils of the school,. This is
the first English school ever held in the
settlement. A new school house is to
be built this summer, and the teacher
wal unanimously requested to return
for the fall term in November. The
closing day program was quite unique,
being varied with Russian and German
song. Joseph Sperla had learned to
sing "My Father and Mother we're
lrish," and the parents and visitors
present sung 'Sheakka."
Clerk Of the Court Hoskins: Indeed
is Bismarck famous. Away down east
on a railroad train I picked up a paper,
and the following item, from San D1ago,
(Cal.) Sun, headed "a Distinguished
Dakotan Coming" attracted my at
t%ention; A tourist whose appearance
at the citrus fair in Los Angeles at
tracted unusual attention is due at
Hotel del Coronado in a few days. This
visitor is DR.. W. A. Bentley of Bis
marck, N. d., who is also mayor of that
city. He is the adjutant general for
North Dakota; the commander of the
states g. A. R. department.; president
of the state board Of trustees for state
lands and property; president of the
board of trustees of the soldiers home,
and president of the board of United
States pension surgeons at Bismarck.
He is on the coast for health and has
been the guest of his daughter at Los
Angeles. The doctor was q frequent
visitor to the San Diago exhibit last
week and which he pronounces the finest
in the pavilion.
