Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1895-08-23

The Sioux Falls Press doesn't relish
the statements of compromise which
have been made in the matter of Treas
urer Taylor, and in a recent issue has
the following to say of the matter:
There has never been any ''disposition in
South Dakota to temporiZe with defalca-
ton" The country has been flooded with
%insinuations to that effect, all being due to
the damnable ISLANDERS of sensational and
partisan newsmongers who have faxed
and buncoed their employers with rot that
had no foundation in fact. The reputation
of the state has been infinitely worse hurt
by these reports than by the mere fact that
one of its officials had gone wrong, and had
embezzled a third of a million. The en-
bezZlement was something that might hap
pen to any state-and such things have
happened to many. But the statement that
all the machinery of the state-the jndi-
ciary and the e~Xecutlve-had entered into
a scheme to cOndOne and compromise and
compound the offense of which the EN-
beZzler had been guilty-this was some
thing which inflicted a blistering injury
upon the commonwealth. 1t is against the
effect Of this cursed sort of stuff that the
Press has struggled and fought, and it is
glad if papers outside the state AVE been
impressed by it, so that ultimately there
may be an antidote for the poison with
which these partisan penny.a-liners have
dOped the entire country.
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1895-08-23

In another column today appears an
article from the pen Of Editor futile of
Mandan, regarding the report which
was promulgated last week as to the
possession by R. P. Allison Of Steele of a
$4,000 insurance policy on the life of
Mrs. Kent. The TRIBUNE was 10th to
believe MI. futile would publish such a
statement without some authorization,
and from his communication he offers to
prove by affidavit that the statement in
question was made by Mr.. Campbell.
1t now devolves upon Mr.. Campbell to
tell what he knows, and to explain the
remark which is alleged to him. 1t
seems improbable that afidavits would
be made as to his making of the state
ment, unless there was some foundation
for them. Perhaps Jim has been mis-
understood, or some remark he has made
been misconstrued.

The Orange Judd Farmer this week
publishes the result of a special investi
cation covering the wheat crop in $50
counties in Minnesota and the Dakotas.
The crop was harvested ten days to two
weeks earlier than usual and the grain is
heavy, but with some complaint of quail
ity from smut and rains while in stock.
Threshing is in progress and the yield
covering nearly ninety per cent of the
wheat area of the three states shows the
rate considerably in excess of what pre-
vious condition indicated. The best
yields in North Dakota are in the Red
River Valley, running from nineteen in
Trail to twenty-six in Cavalier, but they
are smaller in the Jim River valley as
shown by eleven bushels in Dickey to
thirteen in Barnes. The states averages
1873.

II looks now as though the bloomer
had come to stay. Two Chicago bicy-
clists we're married a day or two ago, the
bride attired in regular cycle boomers,
and the ceremony passed off satisfact-
orily, except that it was the first time
the justice had been asked to oficiate at
a wedding where it was difficult to dis
tingulsh the bride from the groom. He
assured the couple however, that in any
future cases be had of the kind he would
not be troubled by the same hesitation.
The bridesmaid informed the justice
that her marriage was to take place next
week, and that her bloomers we're now
being made for the event. This scores
another point for the bicycle and the
bloomer.

The gross earnings of 145 railroad
companies for the first six months of
1895 aggregate S349,O 9 ,773, a gain Of SO
per cent owe the corresponding period
of 1894, which, in turn, showed a de-
crease from 1898 of 1854 per cent. The
net earnings of the same roads for this
year aggregate s1O2, 767,7 SO, a gain over
last year of 81 per cent, and following a
decrease in 1894 from 1898 of 1873 per
cent. A year ago, every group of Amer
lean railroads showed decreases in gross
receipts, varying from 10.4 per cent in
the Ease of the southern railroads to as
much us .21.5 per cent for the south
western railroads. Decreases in net earn
ings were ever more strongly marked,
varying from a falling off of IA per cent
in the case of the granger railroads to as
much as 4O,6 per cent in the southwest
ems. This year the exact opposite may
be said to be the case. It is true there
are some decreases in gross earnings this
year from last, notably in the cases of
the southern and granger railroads, but
there are also notably large increases in
nearly all the other groups, where last
year the dead level of decrease was with
out relief.

RUSSIAN THISTLE has been found grow
ing in Lake, Porter and La Porte coun-
ties, Indiana. There is no doubt as to
identity, as samples of the weed brought
from Dakota for comparison show it to
be the same pest that has spread 80 rap.
idly in the northwest in the last year or
two. The seeds from which the thietles
in northwestern Indiana have sprung
are supposed to have been dropped along
the lines of railroads from through grain
cars. Ghe thlstles in Indiana are only
about half. grown, and a united effort is
to be made to exterminate them before
the time of seed-bearing would develop
each plant into an engine of mischief in
the crop season of next year. It is prob
able that this incursion of the thistle
will give the farmers of the east a better
idea Of what western farmers have had
to contend with, and will afford them an
