military pests of North Dakota is soon to
be abandoned and the troops moved else
where. The construction of this post was
first commenced in June 18e6-over 20
years ago. Being the west end o. chain
lined with Forts Stevenson, Totten, and
Abercrombia. It was around Fort Bu-
ford that Sitting Bull made whatever mil
itary reputation fame will give him. He
practically controlled the investing forces
between 1s66-7o, between which time
shout 80 soldiers and citizens were killed.
James Thompson of this county, and
Thomas McGowen, proprietor Of the Gus
tor Hotel, Bismarck, we're members of Ft.
Buford garrision during those interesting
days of the investment.

Wild plums were not very plentiful
this season but our scribe recently noticed
a patch within 800 yards of Anton Peter
sons fence--below town-in which bush
els were lying on the ground going to
waste. Plums either cooked or in their
natural state are great health givers and
health retainers. They are hardy
bush and there is no reason why every
farm house should not be surrounded by
plum orchard and every verandah en-
twined with the senlous vines of the wild
grape. ~

Chicago Change.


 Chicago June H-Outside orders were scarce article in wheat today. Those on the inside or local character were neither large nor influential, and the most or them were to sell. The fortunate holders of puts were ready to grasp profits and that dis position was about the best support prices received. Generally speaking there was not much to interest speculation, except possi- bly, the Cincinnati Price Currents sum mary, which was unfavorable to holders and bulls. Almost cent was lost on this documents views before the opening, and subsequently declining prices and a drag Of the market Almost a recovery took place before the close, but the net loss for the day was liberal one. September has be from 731s to 73ssc sold between 73ss and 725sc, closing at 727sll7Sc, 1SqlAc under yes terday Cash wheat was weak and 1Ac lower.
 Corn-As time passes and the advices on the growing corn crop continue unexcep, depreciates in the corresponding ratio With wheat pursuing a similar course no incentive is held out to buyers. These con large trading was done the selling side was the most popular and values declined tween 4S7s and 4944SSsc, closing at 4Sssc, 12c under yesterday Cash corn was easy
 Oats were weak like everything in the grain list There was no news to counter- act the depressing influence of wheat and corn. There was further selling of Hong oats and the eastern lines held in New York principally. were further reduced by today's liquidation. September oats closed ssc under yesterday. Cash oats were 4 to 1c under yesterday.
 observation-disclosures strength prevailed in product all day. At times it was potent enough to cause advances but at others slight recessons were permitted. The hog market was strong, which was one thing in favor of provisions, but that the action of wheat had contrary effect. The close was firm at a final recovery, September pork showing q net gain of 17Hc over yes- terday September lard 2lkQ5c and Septem- Der ribs 715c.
 The leading futures ranged as follows.
