day night, en- route to this Twin Cities.
Mr.. Porter personally is a very pleasant
gentleman, and assured the Republican
that being out of politics now, for reasons
not necessary to dilate upon, and attend
ing to his farm this year, he has become
a common, every day honest citizen
again. He reports crops looking very
fine in his section of LaMoure county.
The Northern Pacific land department
announces that, beginning June l, the
rate of interest on contracts for the pur-
chase of lands will be reduced from Z to
6 per cent. All the railway lands are
being re-appraised. Land Agent Cooper
says re-appraisement will probably re-
suit in an average reduction in price Of
one-third, compared with the price at
which they we're formerly listed. The
object of the change of policy is to in
duce rapid settlement.
Charles Kupitz, proprietor of the Fort
Yates, Winona and Bismarck stage line
has it SO arranged 0 that a person can
leave Fort Yates in the morning and ar
rive at Bismarck in the afternoon of the
same day. This new change was effected
by putting a mail coach on the west side
of the river at Yates, which connects
with the Bismarck coach at the river
near Winona, both morning and evening.
This is a great improvement over the old
plan, and will undoubtedly be appre.
ciated by the people Of Fort Yates.
The Yates boys returned home Saturday
morning, after a trip of two days in the
city. No game was played Friday, as
the grounds were not in as good shape
as might be desired, and a game would
have to have been begun too late in the
evening. The Yates players are gentle
manly fellows, and their visit has been
enjoyed by the Bismarck boys, who will
be pleased to welcome them again, should
they find an opportunity to make
another visit. .
Glendale Leader: Geo. H. Reyes re-
turned Monday from Washington, D. c..
where he attended a meeting of the Asso-
citation of Railroad Commissioners Mr..
Reyes reports a most pleasant time, but
that which gives him the greatest pleas
ure is a visit to Alexandria Washington
Lodge No. %, A. F. & A. NJ, where he
occupied for a moment the identical
chair in which Washington sat while
Master of the lodge, and had in his hand
the gavel that was used by Washington.
It is said Bishop Walker commences
on the 4th of June an extended trip over
the state in his celebrated cathedral
church on wheels. The trip as planned,
will last over three monts, and most of
the larger places will be visited. Ser
vices will be held almost every day in the
car except where there are Episcopal
churches. After making this trip, which
is mostly on the Northern Pacific,
another one will be planned for the
towns not visited.
The Grand Forks Plaindealer says of
General Bentley's decoration day ad-
dress: The address of Gen. Bentley vas
a thorough and complete analysis of the
subject of war couched in eloquent
words, and towards the latter part
touched more specifically upon the war
of the rebellion. He urged all Ameri-
cans to be more American than ever,
true to the principles on which the
nation was founded, and try to make it
a still greater nation than it ever has
been. General Bentley has an excellent
delivery and his address showed deep
thought and careful preparation.
There were two accidents at the ball
park Thursday, which were unfortunate
and tended somewhat to mai the COM
plete success of the game. A little
daughter of John Robidou, who stood
in a line of spectators, dangerously close
to the foul line, was struck in the thigh
by a battee ball and painfully bruised,
although luckily the leg was not broken.
Shortly after this, a horse driven by John
French became frightened, and the
buggy, occupied by Mr.. French and Miss
Grace Falkenstine, was overturned, the
young man receiving a broken collar
bone in the accident, while the young
lady escaped fortunately without injury.
