The reading room has been presented
by w. P. Moffet with two handsome
steel engravings, which will be framed,
and used in ornamentation OF the walls
of the reading room when repairs are
completed. Webb Bros. have offered to
frame one as a gift to the reading room,
and G. Fl. Phelps the other.
Ice in the river is about three feet
thick, and local ice men are busy pack
ing the article for the cooling off of the
excessive heat of next summer. Slattery
has finished putting up what he will
need, and Barney Flynn is building a
icy ice house, in which he will store
enough for his customers the coming
summer. ..."
The county commissioners met Fri
day afternoon, and transacted con-
siderable business, adjourning until to-
day. Bids for wood were opened, and
coal bids likewise. John P. Hoagland
made a bid of fifty tons at $3.50 cash
or $3.50 in warrants, and the Gull River
Lumber company a bid at s2.6s. No con-
tracts have been let yet.
It is said, and pretty reliably, that for
the present there will be no change in
the Bismarck postofice-and that the
time of the appointment of a postmaster
depends upon how soon local democratic
forces can harmonlze upon a candidate.
1t seems there are too many candidates,
and too much opposition, to suit those
who control the appointment.
The R~everend:and Mrs. G. A. Cham
bers desire to express their sincere
thanks to..the parishioners of st. Georges
parish, who have so kindly and bounti-
fully remembered them on the late Goth
anniversary. The gifts was not only
lovely and beautiful in themselves, but
their value has been increased a
hundred fold by the spirit which
prompted them to offer them.
Hadberg, who is wanted for selling
liquor to the Dickinson coal miners
without license was arrested Thursday
by Deputy Marshal Martin of Mandan.
An attempt was made to arrest Hadberg
and his partner at Dickinson, January
10Th, but both escaped, and one of the
men is still at large. Messrs. Daggett
and Camp passed through to Dickinson
this morning to attend the examination.
John Romans dog George, one of the
greatest pets of the city's canine crea-
ton, and a general favorite with all the
boys, struck a poison find Thursday, and
succumbed to the effects. Several
valued dogs in the city have met death
by the same means. The promiscuous
distribution of poison is often produc-
tive of results which are not intended,
and the practice should be discouraged.
Mrs. linda W. Slaughter is interested
in a plan to locate a colony of some fifty
Russian families in northern Burleigh
county. These people do not want to
live on isolated farms but desire to live
as they do in the old country, in a CEN
trail village, with their permanent
houses built. around their church and
school house, and temporary houses on
their farms adjacent, where they can
live in summer. and after the harvest
return to their village homes for the
winter. These people do not want large
farms, but each head Of a family will be
satisfied with forty acres. This will put
sixteen families on a section. These
people are described as industrious, tenn
perate and pious. To conform to their
wishes in the matter of residence, special
ruling will have to be obtained from the
general land office.
