Welded and Coming Home.

DR.. John Harcourt of the city, who
went east some weeks ago, was welded
to n of Canada's fair daughters sew
eral days ago. and is on his way back to
Bismarck. The road home, however,
seems rather rough. The doctor got as
far as Fargo by rail, and the following
telegram from Charlie E. Showers of
Wheatland, would indicate that he does
not intend to await the resumption Of
traffic by the railroads:
WHEATLAND, July 2,-Dr. Harcourt ana
bride are here tonight. on their way to
Bismarck overland by buggy.
The doctors Bismarck friends will
wish him a safe return, and will extend
congratulations to him upon his marri-

Maratta's Darkey.

aEtuH.eFL
a good story, illustrating the faithful
ness of the African race, and Of the aver
age coloredS servant-which may or may
not be true-but which is good, never
theless, is told Of Capt. Dan Maratta,
the we'll known democratic politician
Whoswas United States marshal under
sCleveland'ssf former administration and
who is now occupying a nice berth as
consul general to Melbourne, Australia.
Maratta had a faithful negro servant,
named Frank, who was in his employ
for about twenty years. Frank was a
homely darkey, but was faithful and
accommodating and always willing to. do
anyone a good turn. Everybody in

craft, o upon and believed by the
MODEST Of men Of all nations as one Of
the grandest, in its purposes and achieve
ments. From man to man, the right
hand of fellowship and good will is ex-
tended through it's ennobling influences.
It is q craft, wherein confidence and
brotherhood and trust are universal, be-
tween member and member. A dishon-
orable act Is considered an i~nefaceable
stain. Its aims are noble, it's purposes
grand, its achievements b~ene6cent. Its
temples were dedicated to purity and
Joy, and to virtues which ennoble. The
one just dedicated was handsome in it's
appointments, elegant in it's furnishings,
spacious in its extent. Might it be, as it
would be, worthy of all that was typi-
fed in the ceremonies Of it's dedication.
There was hearty applause at the
close of Judge Bartholomew's address,
and in the period Of informal social COM
munion which followed, there were felici-
ations of the Masons in the beauty Of
their halls, and in the success of their
dedication. A banquet followed, where
in the inner man was ministered 70 as
successfully as had the intellectual man
been Toasted by the ceremonies just pre-
cedlng. Every appointment was perfect
and, under the supervision Of the mem-
bers Of the Eastern Star, every detail
had been accurately planned, and was
carefully carried out. This was followed
by dancing, and from - o'clock until
after two, enjoyment reigned supreme.
The Masons are accredited with an ex-
ceptional ability in the art of entertain
ing. They proved themselves masters,
in the course Of last evenings festivities.
The Masons are entitled to be proud
OF the new hall, as completed and dedi-
Gated last night. The several rooms
comprise the length and fifty feet of the
width of the third floor of theI First
National bank block. The hall is prop
erly the property of Bismarck Lodge
No. 5, A. F. and A. M, but is rented also
by Missouri Chapter, Iancred Comman-
derry, and the Order Of the Eastern Star.
Everything in the fittings and decoration
displays taste and art. At the left, pass
ing through the cloak room at the
entrance, is an apartment for use in
som of the c~ommandery work. Ad-
joining this one on the north is a room
for the keeping of the costumes and
robes of the order. On the west, pass
ing out from this, is the smoking room,
neatly and Hastily papered and decorated,
and with hardwood flooring. On the
west again, is a double parlor. one of the
handsonlest rooms on the floor. From
this on the north is the lodge room,
which is spacious, handsomely fitted and
elegantly furnished. West of this is
another spacious apartment, hoored with
hardwood, and Hastily turnished-the
dining room, and back of this are the
pantries and kitchens, with all Of the
utensils and paraphernalia necessary to
the preparation Of a feast.
The attendance last night was large,
and the enjoyment general. AS a city,
Bismarck may we'll be proud of the
organization, whose lhalls we're dedicated
last night, and of the halls so dedicated.

A Good Combination.

We have made arrangements by which
%e can furnish our subscribers free with
Il years subscription to the very best
farm paper published, so far as farming
in tins state is concerned. A Dakota farm
paper is more valuable to Dakota farm
cr than is an eastern farm paper to one
that undertakes to cover the whole
country. We will give years subscrip-
tion to the DAKOTA FARMER, published
at Aberdeen, S. d., by w. L. II. Bushnell
and years subscription to the FREE
PRESS for only s1.5o for the two papers.
Thiss theregular price of the FREE PRESS
alone. You get "a numbers of the Dakota
FARMER free by paying years subscrip-
tion to our paper. The FARMER will be
discontinued at the end of the year. Send
in your orders at once.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure dcafress,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed condi-
tion of the mucous lining of the eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets intamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed, /,
deafness is the result, and unless the in
tlammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be forever destroyed: nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an intlamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

A Good Word For the Newspaper.

At a recent business convention Gov
ernor Francis of Missouri, who is in a
position to know whereof he speaks, paid
tribute to the local newspaper as fol-
lows:
each year The local paper gives from
$500 to $4,000 in free lines to the com
munity in which it is located. No other
agency can or will do this. The editor,
in proportion to his means. does more for
his town than any other 10 men, and in
all fairness with men he ought to be sup
ported-not because you like him or ad-
mire his writings, but because the local
paper is the best Investment commu-
nifty can make. 1t may not be brilliantly
edited or crowded with thought, but
financially it is of more benefit to the
community than the teacher or preacher.
Understand me. do not mean men,
tally or morally, but financially, and
yet on the moral question you will find
most Of the local papers Oh the right
side. Today the editors of the home pa
pers do the most for the least money
of any people on the face of the earth"

PLuroCRATs VIZ. PEOPLE.
The Populace Highly Amused by "a
Little Game of ball.

Alttlc 0IAnlC OI 1talls
The great game of base ball put up on
the grounds last Saturday, between the
banks and the state house, was enough to
throw the large crowd into a fit. Outside
of two or three all who participated in
the game had as much wholesome fear of
a base ball as they had of cannon ball
on the wing. and avoided it as much.
In the first inning the statesmen went
to bat, with Albright and Cummins in the
points for the plutes. This inning was a
walkaway for the latter, the score being
nine to nothing. The features of this in
ming was the great act of Charlie Andcr-
son at short. Walker knocked a pop up.
Charlie saw it sailing through the ether
and calmly folded his umbersol and laid
itdown. He put up his hands in suppli
cation and the ball landed on his thumb.
Johnny HippIe pitched for the lightning
rod gentry, but gave way to Stcrud in the
second, SwartZ staying behind the bat.
In the second the plntes repeated the
dose, getting nine notchcs to one for the
government. which was made by Billy
Burlington. The feature of this inning
was Cap. Lawrcnce's great slide to first.
He tapped the sphere lightly and started
for the bag, and commenced to slide
about fifty feet away. 1t was a great
play, but he was called out. This inning
Sterud pitched, and when he put a ball
down in reach it was whackcd, willie the
scions of capital sprinted from base to
base. To stop the run getting and give
them rest the umpire called Col. Farr
out for stepping over the plate to hit at a
ball.
In the third the plntes got eight more
runs, while the representatives of the
people went without any, though Tim
Loomis got around to third.
The fourth was characterized by no.
thing specially, except that the twelve
per centers rolled up seven more runs. In
this inning Col. Goodner reached third
through some mishap, when John White
hit the ball and started for first like an
ice wagon, or "a horse with the strnghalt.
The ball was captured in outtield by
Eager. who carried IL to first base before
White got there.
In the fifth Tim led off with 3-bagger
aud scored. SwartZ went to first on balls.
Johnny llipplc famed the atmosphere,
Willie Sterud struck IL fly which Farr
couldn't keep. This made two men on
bases. 1t was at this juncturc that Billy
burlington swattcd the bali for a home
run, aud while the governor led the
chorus. they all ''SaShayed'' around the
bases. Goodner Lawrence and White
each tapped it for Il base, but White made
a run for second like an oyster on its way
to Il funeral, and was stopped. The
others scored. aud Tim struck out, end
ing the hppodrome.
NOTES.
The only ball johnny Nipple caught
was one that lodged between his person
and his breast protector while he Off
ciatcd behind the bat.
Charlie Anderson tried to stop a
gromnder, and while the sphere was chas-
ing into the field Charlie felt in his pock-
cts.
Capt. Anson will be here next week.
and when he leaves there will be nine po-
stons to fill in the different banks.
The way Goodner and burlington ran
reminded one of the gait of a gaZele.
