From

Department Commander John D.
Black of the North Dakota department
G. A. R., IN general order No. 4, urges
the universal observance of Decoration
day throughout the state, in the follow
ing touching paragraph:
"As in the past, let the observance of
this beautiful custom of strewing flow
ers upon the silent mounds where sleep
our fallen heroes, be sincere and uni
versal. Let us observe the solemn cere-
monies of this day as becomes comrades
who still carry in their hearts sacred
memories of the men who SO freely gave
their lives for the land they loved. The
work is done, but their record is written
in the nations tears, and the memory Of
their historic deeds will live in history
for generations yet to come. Let no
grave be undecorated; ever remembering
that he who carried the knapsack in the
long line of loyal blue was equally a hero
with him who issued commands and
planned campaigns. So on that day let
the graves of the humble and renowned
be each strewn with Gods choicest flow
ers as fitting emblems Of the pnrity Of
their sacrifices, and be not ashamed to let
the fond tear Of memory fall as we
Cover them over with beautiful flowers,
Deck them with garlands, those brothers of ours;
Cherish the names of those heroes of ours;
And cover them over with beautiful flowers

North Dakota AM Richt.

Geo. Gussner returned yesterday from
his western trip, and reports a pleasant
time. and an interesting visit at the Mid
winter fair. Mr.. Gussner says a trip
through Montana, Washington, and the
coast states, will convince anyone that
North Dakota is all right, and preferable
to these other states for settlement.
Times out west are dull-far more SO
than in North Dakota. In California
all OF the desirable land for settlers has
been taken, while in Oregon and Wash.

ticle on advertising, which is applicable
now, as it was then. It says: "a ttown,
it's business and advantages are always
estimated by it's newspaper. If the
paper is sprightly and newsy, and its adj
vertising patronage small, the town
suffers by the comparison" TRIBUNE
publishes Gen. Clusters answer to Gen.
Hazen's denunciation of the country
along the Northern Pacific. Custer
writes of his personal experiences in the
country in question. Tells Of his march
from Fort Rice with 5000 horses and
mules and 900 head of beef cattle, all of
which were abundantly fed on the rich
grasses which grew everywhere. Every
night the command camped where wood,
water and grass were plentiful. Garden
ing had been carried on successfully, the
land being very fertile. The country
was very healthful, as proven by the
senior medical officer at Fort Lincoln.
Every allegation Of Gen. Hazen against
the Northern Pacific country was sue
cessfuully refuted by Gen. CUSTER.

Advertising Pays.


It has been said and ,proven so often
that advertising pays that it is almost
unnecessary make the statement again,
or to adduce added proof Of the fact
but n example Of the benefits fof ad-
vertising, and such an excellent one, has
come to the notice of the TRIBUNE, that
it would not be natural to!spass it by
unnoticed. Yesterday, one of the TR1B-
uNE's patrons advertised in1 it's columns
for a gold ring, which he had lost the
day before. He had looked everywhere
for it, without success, and finally,
anxious to discover it, advertised. But
a few hours after the ad. appeared, the
owner of the ring placed his hand in his
pocket, and, 10, the ring was there, safe
and sound, as though it had seen the ad
and come back itself. And the adver-
tiser ie firmly convinced of the merits of
advertising, and contemplates leaving
his ad in-in the hope that he'll discover
a case for the ring, in another pocket
on the same plan.

issue Of the Chicago Tribune has a
pleasing notice of Mr.. Lakes ability as
follows: "Mr. Lake, who is a second
year divinity student, was born in Leroy,

are we'll sustained and we'll suited to tell
of the homely virtues of Honest Abe.'"

Preparing to Win.


The running team, which is to go to
Fargo next June, to compete for prizes
with the other fire departments in the
state, practices each evening now, and
the boys are getting into good sprinting
shape. The personnel of the team has
not been quite decided upon as yet,
pending further practice with different
9 who give promise of speed. The
boys have an incentive to win, in the
gold medal Of the state association, which
they won at the tournament two years
ago, and which is still in their posses
sion. The medal has to be won three
consecutive times, before it descends to
the possession of any one team, and the
boys are eager to win it again, and thus
take another step towards it's possession.
The medal should have been up for
contest last year, but the Fargo fire pre-
vented the holding of the tournament
and the Bismarck boys have had two
years possession of the medal, with but
one contest for it, on this accountant
they have become attached to it, and
are DESTROYS of winning it again. The
boys look for a pretty close race with
the Wahpeton team this year, but are
confident of their ability to win the as
ISOLATION race.
The coming tournament bids fair to be
a lively one. The FARGO h,ovs ara
nothing if nothospitable and they are al
ways generous in such matters. The
state this year gives $1,000lto the tourn-
ament, and this amount will add to it's
extent, and enable prizes to abe enlarged

Advised to Return to Work.

Massillon, Ohio, March 6-The national
e> >ecutive board of the United Mine
Workers of America will tomorrow issue
circular through President John Nc
Bride and Secretary and Treasurer P.
McBryde, in which all miners now on
strike are advised to return to work. The
circular says that at the meeting Of the
national executive board held Feb. 27,
% and March 1, the present deplorable
condition of mining affairs was discussed
and resolutions were adopted to the ef-
feet that the present would be an in
opportune time for action of such a
character, as it would necessitate a stop
page of work in any one or more COM
peting districts. The board calls upon all
mine workers to hold themselves in readi-
ness and to prepare for a general strike
for higher wages and an improved con-
dition at as early a date as the national
convention, which meets in April, may
determine.
