PLEASANT EXCURSION.
A Free Ride and q Jolly Time for


The railroad folk having offered the boys
free ride to Columbia last Monday, quite q
number accepted the opportunity to spend a
night at the capital. Among those who are
reported to have gone are: L. II. Russell, Jr.,
A. r. Syfan, w. W. Marshall, L. v. Young, T.
L. Douglass, B: P. Hughes, w. Z. Beard, 9: w.
Milford, T. z. Seal, W. F. Beard, James Chal-
man, J. G. ELLIS, s. n. Williams.
They attended what is termed Wage
nom the utterances OF some OF our Tilimanite
brethren Of the press, quite number OF them
are scared nearly out Of their boots.
1t Is real funny TO see how earnestly some
of the bl ethren discuss q harmless little ex.
cursion. The organization OF the wage-earn-
ers, like that OF the farmers, has no politics
In II.
Their chief object is social recreation, and
the cultivation Of brotherly feeling. The
kindness of the railroads In Offering free
transportation is one Of those pleasant things
that do not often come except to those who
are not In politics.

The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1893-11-11

Az Glastonbury Abbey. in Somerset
shire, England, once stood a thorn tree
which, it Is said, bloomed every Christ
mas morning. The first authentic ac-
count Of it ever written was in 1772
by q visitor who tells Of it in the ac-
count Of his visit to the abbey. The
keeper assured him that st. Joseph Of
ArimatheaL landed not far from the
town, at q place where there was for
meriy an oak that had been planted to
his memory; that he and his compan-
ions marched to a hill and rested them
selves, and that Joseph stuck his staff
IN the ground. Now this star was q
common dry hawthorn stick, but it
grew and first came into full flower
"a Christmas day. Afterward the tree,
which had thus grown and budded like
Aaron's rod, always doomed on the
day Of our Lords nativity and upon no
other day, the flower, like those Of the
night-blooming cereus, lasting but q few
hours. Many queer stories have been
told Of the miraculous thorn Of elias
fonbury.. It was said that II the chips
rom II were planted they would sprout
md grow like potatoes; that the leaves
cared M lnlammations, swellings, etc,
ana that "rods,' cut from 1t would

GOLD IN

Chamberlain, s. D., Nov. 3.-The fol-
lowing story floats here by way Of the
Black Hills from a small mining town in
Montana: J. A. McConville, who lives
on Montana street, killed one of his
chickens for dinner, and on cleaning it
was surprised to find a quantity of gold
nuggets in the crop and gizzard. Hav-
ing about thirty more chickens on hand
he began killing and examining them. In
each of them he found a pro rata Of
nuggets, the total amount gathered from
t~hirty-one being 1887 So. and average of
$3.50 q head. The gold was sold to the
State National bank and pronounced 49,
karat fine. Mr.. McConville bought fifty
more chickens and turned them out. in the
gold field in the vicinity Of his own
coop. Later. as an experiment, one of
them was killed and $3.50 in gold was
taken from it's inside works, the result of
a four days run. The owner of the
chickens has a veritable bonanza, and
expects to be a millionaire if the chick.
