Captain Day is a regular army officer on
duty at Bismarck, and Miss Enright
a popular attache Of the Secretary
of States office with Mr.. Elite, and even
prior thereto. May they be happy.
Capt. Honstein, the Emmons county
farmer. was in the city Friday, and
had with him some magnificent samples
Of early Owl wheat. The stalks we're,
some OF them, almost a foot in length,
and the captain says they were pulled ut
random from the field. Mr.. Honstein
has a large acreage and with propitious
weather will have an excellent yield.
The offices OF day operator and cashier
at the railroad depot have been con.
solidated and Chauncey Day came in
from the east Saturday to take charge.
E. j. Jennings has resigned and left
last evening for Fargo. Mr.. Jennings
will be missed, and especially among
the members Of the band which he or
gained. The boys wish him all good
luck in the future.
Devils Lake Inter. Ocean: Dan Will.
Jams, formerly warden of the peniten-
tiary at Bismarck, was in the city Thurs
day. He filed a homestead on a quarter
section in 1880, which is in Mclean
county, south of the Dogs Den hills and
about twenty miles from the 500 road.
The tract filed on is situated on a lake
and will be made headquarters for an
extensive stock ranch.
The ladies of the NJ. E. church will
present a colonial kitchen in the G. A.
R. ball, Friday evening of this week.
The entertainment will consist of selec.
tions from 1.-The Courtship of Miles
Standish," rye olde time hymns and
worldly tunes" and an old fashioned
lunch. Twenty-Five cents will admit
one. All ye old men and matrons,
younger men and maidens, come and be
merry.
The case Of Rhodes vs. Pierce came up
before Judge Winchester in chambers
Saturday. Pierce had sold some
property to the former and had taken a
mortgage, and Rhodes opposed a motion
on Pierce's part to sell the property un-
der the terms Of the mortgage and turn
the money ove to the court. The mo.
ton was granted by the judge on con-
dition that the defendants gave bond to
indemnify the plaintiff.
And now Forman advices say that
"local contractors on the 500 line are
hiring men and teams to work ON the ex-
tension west of Kuhn, and state that
they have orders to complete the grad
ing contracts at an early date. 1t is
probable that the bright crop prospects
may result in the completion of the road
to Bismarck this summer" But the
average Bismarcker will wink the other
eye, and grin, sa%rcastically.
John A. Mclean: Charley Bentley's
version of our trouble is wrong. L did
use hard language, but not until after
he had made a sneering remark to me-
before I had said anything to him. I
did not know he was going to hit me-
supposed he was walking away. Those
who saw the fracas know that I made no
remarks about his family. I don't court
newspaper notoriety, but simply want
matters stated as they are.
Secretary Dahl: Ex.Secretary John
Flittie has an interesting letter in the
South Dakota Echo of May 31st. 1t is
written from Los Angeles, and besides
describing the country it gives an in
teresting recital Of his experiences on
the trip from North Dakota to Cali
fornia. At n place, in the letter he
was interrupted by an earthquake, and
he describes it graphically. He says he
is in better health than for a long time.
and will leave soon for Hawaii, Mexico
and Central America.
