Seeding, which was begun in some
places the first of the week, will be de-
layed about two weeks, as it will take a.
least that long for the ground to dry off
sufficiently to permit of the resumption
of operations. The ground will be in
excellent shape, however, and farmers
are pleased with the prospects.
Two young fellows, VIM. Laurence
and VIM. Kriek by name, we're arrested
by Sheriff Donnelly Saturday, on war
rants sworn out by Michael T. O'Connor,

O'Connor, a son of M. T., defending
them, and they we're discharged.

shall Price with a unique souvenir of the
famous Custer fight, in the shape of an
Indian shield, said to have belonged to
Standing Dog, one Of the warrior .chiefs
engaged in that battle. The shield is
highly ornamented and has two bullet
holes in it.
Easter came somewhat too early this
year for the usual display of pretty
Easter bonnets and gowns. The day
was ushered in with a chilling breeze,
and a temperature of below zero forbade
the general promenade peculiar to Eas-
ter Sunday. AS it was the residents
attended the appropriate services at the
several churches and remained inside
the remainder of the day.
The arrangement between o. II. Will,
the seedman, and the penitentiary au-
thorities was arranged finally yesterday,
and a part of the land which has been
leased by the latter will be devoted to
the growing of seeds, which will be
hand picked and prepared by the con-
victs. This will add another to the in
dustries of the pen, and furnish profit
able employment for the convicts.
Emil Boehme of Chemnitz, Germany,
writes the governor for information as to
the whereabouts of Robert Boehme, a
brother, who filed on a claim ten miles
from Devils Lake in 1883, and who has
not been heard from since. Boehme is
tall, dark hair and mustache and about
38 years old. The governor has insti-
tuted an inquiry for the missing man.
Sheriff Jerry Hayes of Dickinson, is in
the city to-day, on his return from
Jamestown, where he has been with an
insane man, August Wilkey by name, a
German who is 'soff' on religion. Sher-
if Hayes is of the opinion that the re-
blizzard and the subsequent cold
weather has done considerable damage
to stock interests, although no anthem
tic reports have been received from the
ranges as yet.
R. N. Stevens: Monday is "egg-rolling
day. at the national capital. Probably
10000 children, all we'll supplied with
eggs, will assemble at the White house
lot, roll eggs down the hill, and enjoy
every manner of sport imaginable with
eggs. Perhaps 5000 people will be on
the ground, off and on, to witness the
sport of the little ones. Egg-rolling is
an old established custom there on the
Monday after Easter, and a great event
for the little ones.
Doctor Harcourt returned yesterday
from the east, having passed the winter
in Canada, and he has resumed his
practice. The wife which the doctor
was reported to be bringing home with
him failed to arrive, for the principal
reason, the doctor says, that he is not
married, and he says the report was
probably a joke on the part of some of
his friends. The doctors health has
much improved, he reports a pleasant
winter in the east, and his friends are
pleased to welcome him home again.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: The inquiry,
what has become of our state central
committee?' is beginning to be made by
republicans in the course of conversa-
ton or through correspondence. That
there will be use for it is already ap-
parent and the knowledge of "where it
is at" will be hailed with unusual inter
est at the earliest date consistent with q
decent respect for the remains, etc.
which it still has in charge.
It would seem proper to begin the
elementary work of the fall campaign
early. Old republican clubs are already
reviving and some new ones have beer
organized, and the strongest encourage
ment should be held out for thorough
and complete organization throughout
the entire state. This encouragement
