They Are Not Frightened.

Glendale Record: The cactus COM
mission, consisting of Governor Allin,
OK. Senator Casey and w. 81. Rowe, came
down from Monango Monday evening
and interviewed our people yesterday.
They left in the evening for Cakes.
They are all very pleasant gentlemen
and if the cactus las done us no other
good, it has been the means Of bringing
the governor Of the state here, so that
we were enabled to shake his hand and
make his acquaintance, as we'll as that OF
the ex-senator. Dlckey county has prob
ably had as much OF the cactus as any
other county in the state, and while it is
q great hindrance and nuisance to the
farmer, the great scare about its taking
possession of the entire country, and
preventing crop raising, has passed. The
rank growth of the cactus is when the

A e Certificate.

Journal: Cal lStone, city passenger
agent of Northern Pacific,at Minneapolis,
was visited recently by two confidence
men, who tried to get him to take a GER
titicate of deposit on the Capital Ma
tional bank of Bismarck, for $3.50. He
did not take it. Then the two went to
C. e. Rabb of the, Great Western, to try
and get them to take it. He took it and
said he would hold it until he heard
from Bismarck. The two men skipped
and have not returned. The certificate
was bogus.
Assistant Cashier Pye, Of the bank in
question, says the certificate was all
right, but that it came in to the bank to
pay only upon Identification of signature,
and that the signature was apparently q
forgery, and the certificate was returned
with this fact stated.

Do Not Kill Unripe Birds.

Game Warden Scott requests the
TRIBUNE to warn all persons, who may
be tempted to pluck unripe prairie fowl
from the Woes, that prosecution will fol-
low each case where the illegal killing of
them can be proven. The crop OF birds
this year promises to he luxuriant as us
ual, and it seems but fair, all things
considered, to give the birds a show for
their white alleys, and allow all hunters
an equal chance at them, when the law
is out. The law this year is the same as
formerly, the new one not taking effect
before the hunting season, and the law
on chickens is up August 20. By that
time, the birds will be large enough to
afford good sport, and plentiful enough
to warrant ample opportunities for hunt
ing. Let the too eager sportsmen wait
until hunting is legitimate.

That Hail storm.

Reliable reports Of the hail in La.
Moure and Sargent counties say that
the track of the storm was ten miles
wide, and that everything in its path, SO
far as growing crops are concerned, was
destroyed at least one-half. All window
lights on the north side of farm houses
were demolished. Hail stones measur-
ing five and a half inches fell, and, as
the farmers put it, it was not hail, but
great chunks Of ice. "A terrific wind
accompanied the storm. Some farmers
report that their entire fields Of ripening
grain are now left without q vestige Of
grain and are a total loss. Many Of the
farmers have no insurance on their crop.
"A conservative estimate Of crop in the
path of the storm puts the yield to
eighteen bushels, and it is now doubtful
if five bushels per acre a be harvested.

Deputy Marshals W. B. Livermore
and Pat Hennessey came in from the
east Friday morning, and left for
Wogansport, about eighteen miles north
Of the city, to arrest and bring to the
city Frank R. Simons, postmaster at
that place, who is charged with the en-
bezzlement of p%ostoffice funds.
Wogansport is a fourth class post
Office of rather" limited patronage. For
some time, the reports of Simons, which
have been transmitted to the postofice
department., have, it is said, shown so
large an amount Of stock on hand, in the
shape of stamps. stamped envelopes and
other articles OF value, that the suspic-
ions of the department were aroused.
The balances on hand have increased
somewhat with each quarter, until the
last report showed something over 5000
worth of stock on hand. In fact, the
balances of the office were made to ap-
pear nearly as large as those in the To-
cal Office, and the case was given TO
Postoffice Inspector Clement for investi-
cation, He came in a few days ago, and
Thursday drove out to the Wogansport
Office and made an investigation Of the
standing of the Office. There was found
about 500 worth of stock on hand, and
a shortage of some 1888 in funds, to re-.
present which there was on hand a cash
balance of 80 cents. Mr.. Clement had a
warrant sworn out for Postmaster ST.
mons arrest, before Court Commissioner
Hoskins, and it was given to Marshal
Livermore to serve.
It will be remembered that Simone
was arrested not long ago, Tor mlsappro,
priation of $500 belonging to the Wo
gansport school district. He was brought
to the city for hearing, upon the com
plant of John Meyers, who succeeded
Simons as school treasurer, and to whom
Simons failed to turn I've the funds
Before the case came up for trial, how
ever, the school district was reimbursed
with money which it was said came from
his relatives in the east, and the schoo
district did not appear further in the
matter.

He Saw 1t,

The Emmons County Record: Per-
haps an outsider whose visits TO the CAPT
tai city are infrequent, notices the change
more than the residents; but one thing
that impressed itself upon the writer dur
ing a recent trip to Bismarck was the i'm
provement in the way of ornamentation.
Dwelling houses nave been repaired and
reprinted and additions built thereto; old
dilapidated buildings sold for the lumber in
them, torn down and carted away; good
houses in the suburbs nave been moved
nearer to the business center, and more
trees than usual have been set out this
year. There is a great change for the bet
ter between the Bismarck of to-day and
the Bismarck of boom years. But we
noted that the omnipotent and omnipres-
ent COW is still on deck as in days of yore.
She roameth where she listeth; but the
trees on which she formerly delighted to
browse and to comb her hair have, after
a protracted struggle for the survival of
the fttest, grown SO tall as to be compar-
%atively free from danger, and most of the
new planting has been done within fences.

ings and school land lease for three
years, owned by Frank Jandell and sit.
uated in the northwestern part of this
county. which were recently sold to
President Worst of the Agricultural COL
lege, made about the best stock ranch
this side of the Missouri river. There is
plenty of water, hay and grass in the
neighborhood, and scarcely a house or
building between the ranch and the
Northern Pacific track at Medina. The
buildings comprise two sheep sheds,
175x52 and 156x28, one large barn with
stalls for fourteen horses and capacity
for 1000 tons Of hay, a fenced garden
and pasture, and a comfortable dwelling
house. Mr.. Jandell sold the lease and
buildings to Mr.. Worst, who will remove
about 1000 head of sheep and some
young horses from Emmons county to
the new location. The transfer has
already been made.

Tramps for Pleasure.

Tramps for Pleasure.
With an old sack, containing the sum
total of her earthly possessions, upon her
back, Mary Ann Childs, an aged negro
woman, whose mission appears to be the
covering of as much space as possible
afoot,tramped into the city Friday morn
ing. Mary was hot and tired and dusty,
and she stopped at a residence in the
eastern part Of the town and made
known her identity. She was taken in
and given a good dinner, and then moved
on into town, bringing up at the hospi
tai, where she applied for Abundance,
until she should recuperate, and be
ready to continue her journey. She was
received aud will be provided for until
Monday, when she will be ready to start
out again.
Mary is perhaps in the neighborhood
of 90 years of age, although it is diff
cult to arrive at 1t from her appearance,
She says the Lord has directed her to
walk, and she has been following his
direction for two years, having started
out from Louisiana that long ago. She
carries with her a little memorandum
book, filed with passages of scripture
which had been inscribed therein by
persons along her route, and with her
sack of belongings, she walks from place
to place, and will continue, she says,
until the Lord tells her to stop.
Mary is averse to trains, of the rail
road kind. She never rides on one
where it can be avoided, and is some
what perturbed to think she may have
to overcome her scruples in this direction
to get across the river, and proceed
westward. She is a good pedestrian
too. having walked up from Steele in
part of two days, and having come
from Sterling since yesterday.

Held for Hearing.

FRANK II. S1mOn9, the al
Wogansport, who was arrested for en-
bezzelment of ~postofice funds to the
amount of $500, was brought down from
Wogansport about 7 o'clock last evening
in company with Deputy Marshals Liver
more and Hennessey, and Inspector
Clement. Simons was taken into GUS
tody at Wogansport without trouble,
although he was somewhat surprised to
see the officers back after him so soon.
At first he seemed a little shocked at the
arrest. but afterwards he became philo-
sophical, and took it with good grace,
although he told Inspector Clement that
had he known he was coming back after
him, he would have taken to the woods,
literally speaking. II know every stump
in these river bottoms for thirty miles,,
he said, "and had I gotten into them,
you'd never have found me-"
Before Court Commissioner Hoskins
last night, Simons was held in $1,000
bonds for a hearing, which will be had
April l.. He practically admits his
hypothecation of funds, but says there
are extenuating circumstances, which
will condone his ofense to a great extent
From the mans conversation and bear
ing, he appears to be slightly off an
equilibrium OF intellect, protesting to
be an expert in psychology and clairvoy-
ance. He talks freely of placing people
under the magic of his clairvoyant spells
and of similar subjects, which made his
alteration on the subject apparent. 1t
is probable that his misuse of funds has
occurred through the use of postage
stamps as legal tender in the making of
purchases in the east, and has extended
back over a considerable period. His
brother, who is assistant postmaster, is
in charge of the postofice ct the present
time.
Pi.
AS briefly stated in Saturdays TR1B-
uNE, there was a large pi in the estab-
lishment at about 4 O'Clock that evening.
Two pages Of the daily paper. in type,
dropped from the elevator to the first
floor, q distance of ten or twelve feet, and
resulted in a promiscuous and altogether
illegible tumble Of locals, editorials and
advertisements. A heavy editorial on
finance was inextricably confused with
one Of Mr.. Kenyon's justly celebrated
railroad notices, and a stray COW adver.
tisement wal wrapped several times
about the weather forecast, until the
barometer A~uctuated several inches in
an alarmingly short space of time. The
head OF the local columns was tangled
badly in several strands Of wire t nee
display, and the whole mass was quite
literally dosed with several inches Of
reliable sarsaparilla notice. Some de.
licious ice cream which was advertised
for q church festival was rescued from
beneath half q dozen lines of kerosene at
greatly reduced prices, and a prize fight
in a Mississippi fiat boat was knocked
in the head by q special telegram from
the department Of Indian affairs, order
ing troops to the scene of the Bannt Oh

More Candidates for Road Work.

More Candidates for Road Work.
Judge Sauter's cour at Pembina, the
past week or so, has turned out several
candidates for road work, and the new
avenue to the pe%nitentiary, and a half
dozen of prisoners will arrive tomorrow
or Monday, and be turned over to the
penitentiary authorities. There will be
five candidates for burglary-the men
who robbed the store of Senator La
Moure last winter, and Till who gets a
life sentence for the murder of a man
named Miller, a Hungarian, who came to
this country about four years ago leaving
his wife in the old country. Last winter
he sent money to the old country to
bring his wife to Pembina. She, accom-
panied by Till and a number of other
Huns, male and female, came across the
ocean and at New York Mrs. Miller sent
for and received more money from her
husband to complete the trip. On their
arrival here Mrs. Miller and Till vent to
a Hungarian named Bedoes living two
miles from Pembina to stay. Miller Wis
tied his wife there occasionally and it
seems his suspicious of his wife's inf
deity were aroused by a letter received
from the old country which said Till and
the wife were unduly intimate while there.
On the night of the murder Miller told
several parties that he was going out to
Bedoes and he left town about 7:3o D. m.
The following morning the Huns came in
to town and reported that Miller had been
found by them, frozen to death. On the
order of the court, then in session, the
body was brought to the city and it was
discovered that the man had been muir
dered. Prompt steps were taken by the
states attorney and the sheriff which re-
suited in the arrest of Till, who was con
victed and sentenced for life.

or what we're st. Paul and Minneapolis
firms at the time the desk was made. A
number of the guests of the hotel were
discussing T~hursdaysthe signs upon back
the desk, and remarking upon the fact
that the firms, with perhaps one excep-
ton, had gone out of business, or else
had merged into some other firm. Some
of the firms advertised are Lyman Bros,
who had been doing business for years
as Lyman Eliel & Co., Janney, Moles,
Brooks, which name has long ago been
changed-and about the only one of the
whole number of firms advertised which
continues to do business at the old stand
and under the same name, is J. G. o.
valid & Co., the wholesale liquor dealer.
The curiosity of those who participated
in the discussion led them to remove the
backing of paper to n of the signs, to
see if an approximate time of construc-
ton could be discovered, and a piece of
the Chicago Tribune of July %, 1877,
was removed-within u day of exactly
eighteen years of ago.. The ads in the
