demic there, and in addition to scarlet
fever there are several cases of diph-
liberia reported. 1t is reported also in
this city that there is diphtheria among
some of the Russian settlers, who are
particularly liable to the disease, and
among whom it is always accompanied
with great fatality.
1t is stated the Northern Pacific will
before long announce another west
bound train, to accommodate the rush
of Klondikers. From present reports it
will be another section of No. 1, and
from the appearance of No. l today it
is needed. The train this morning was
run with extra coaches and there was
n party of twenty-four Klondikers
aboard, en- route from western New
York to the gold fields.
The Mandan board of health takes a
fall out Of DR.. Amabile, attributing TO
his negligence and ignorance the spread
OF scarlet fever in that city. It is stated
that Amabile was called in by the family
in which the fever first broke out, after
the members had been q%uarantined,
and told them 1t was not scarlet fever.
AS a consequence they held indiscrimi,
nate intercourse with their neighbors,
and the disease spread. The board of
health states that Amabile is not a
licensed physician and is responsible for
the rapid spreading of the disease.
A telegram was received by W. H. De-
Graft today announcing the death of
Mrs. l. G. DeGratf, wife of I. G. De-
Graft formerly of this city, at Dickinson
this morning. A little daughter was
born to Mr.. and Mrs. DeGraff a week
ago, and Mrs. DeGratf has been pro-
crossing nicely since, up to yesterday,
when there was a change for the worse,
and her death followed this morning.
Mrs. DeGraff was formerly Miss Esther
Lenneville, and one of the most popular
women in Dickinson. Her death is a
sad blow to her husband, and the sym.
pathy of many friends here will go out
to him.
The program for the entertainment to
be given on the 14th of this month, for
the benefit of the new Catholic church,
is undergoing diligent rehearsal. It is
hoped a general interest may be
awakened and our citizens feel that the
ediice which is being erected is one
they may be proud to own in their city.
The church as it now stands is free of
debt and will be completed during the
summer. The benefit soon to be given
consists of a varied program-opening
with a short farce, to be followed by a
concert and several Gibson pictures.
The evenings entertainment will be
closed with a dance and luncheon will
be served by the ladies of the church.
E. G. Patterson: I had a very pleas
ant trip, but am glad to get back to a
good climate again. There is no place
like Bismarck, though my trip to Wash.
ington was a very pleasant one The
present administration thoroughly un-
derstood the situation of affairs here
and the vindictive and false charges of
demo-popocrats and those claiming to
be republicans, but never voting the re-
publican ticket, will not have and
weight. I was not worried at any time
in regard to the appointment and con-
firmation of Mrs. Patterson as the op-
position came from parties here who
have no inhuence-and why should they
have any influence at the national CAPT.
