Not that preceding winters have not
been marked by a series of pleasant
social events. Bismarck has enjoyed in
time gone by, the reputation of being
one of the most active cities, from a
social standpoint, in the state. 1t is ad-
mitted by those who have seen, that
there is more material for a social circle
in the city than in any of it's size in the
state. And while this is an admitted
fact, there have been times in the past,
when the members of that circle took de-
light in pulling in opposite directions,
with q resultant quiet which was, to say
the least, a source of rather pronounced
ennui to all concerned.
But this slight discord seems to have
changed, ard to-day there is an opposite
condition. Better feeling exists every
where, and the promotion of social
features has resulted. And a lively
winter is in, store should the same condi-
prevail.
Not the least important organization
upon the list of amusement promoters,
is the dancing club, but recently organ
lied, and not the least pleasant feature
is the semi.monthly hops given at the
Sheridan by the club. One evening in
each two weeks is devoted to amusement
and enjoyment, solely. The attendance
upon the hops is large; the treasury of
the club is in such condition that there
need be no restriction OF pleasure be-
cause of any financial consideration, and
the spirit of fellowship, which adds, al
ways, to general success, is pronounced.
And so the dancing club is looked to for
the supplying of amusement galore dur
ing the winter.
Then upon alternate weeks, the guards
give their dances in the armory, which
are likewise we'll attended and thor
oughly enjoyed. The guards have met
with success so far in their efforts and
will doubtless continue the hops dur
ing the winter, to the satisfaction of the
members of the company and friends.
Adancing class is o in process of
organization, which, when finally organ
lied and in trim, will be the source of
considerable pleasure for probably two
evenings each week. A part of the time
each evening will be devoted to the CIV
ing of instructions, and another part
well-it will not be wholly a condition
Of teaching and being taught. Those
who have joined look forward to the de-
velopment Of other features all OF which
will result to the summum bonum in a
social way.
The Masons and families, and ladies
who are fortunate to have friends in the
order, look forward with pleasure toithe
socials given monthly, and the enjoy
ment of which can be attested by every
one who attended the first one given the
other evening. And if the interest and
pleasure increases with the passage OF
time, there will be another evening each
month which shall pass pleasantly to
them.
And beside these regular events, there
are and will be innumerable events, all
Of which will result from the general
activity. It promises to be an era
of general good feeling. And that it
remain with US, is the wish of everyone.
Will Make Extended Visits.
Five visitors arrived from Mandan or
last Fridays train, and are to-day get
tug their bearings out at the peLiten-
tiary. Their visits will not be at all con
veutional or formal, and some of them
will remain there quite a time. They are
Fred Maier, who toyed carelessly with q
match and the haystacks Of a neighborinR
farmer, to the immediate disadvantage
of the latter, and who will avail himself
of the hospitality Of the pen for a year
and six months to come; J. F. Robinson
who inadvertently signed another mans
name to a bank check, and secured ready
cash thereon, and who will have a year
and nine months to ponder over the un'
c%ertainties of existence; William Hart
whose affection for the equin Q creation
proved disastrous to his morals, and who
received three years for borrowing
horse and saddle without consulting the
owner; and last are the two burglars
Geist and Swarz, who have secured ap
pointments for a term of three and one
half years each.
Gus Hollembaek, who was tried TO-
shooting w. L. Martin, jr., was convicted
OF simple assault, and fined SlOO.
Further Examination.
Sheriff Donpelly and several IN
terested persons made Il trip to Sible1
Island Friday morning, to examine the
place ut which Claude Holley mel hif
death, and see il the tracks OF any per
son who might have shot him, ny mis-
take, could be discovered.
