The Black Patti speciality organiza-
ton passed through the city this morn
ing en- route west. This is said to be
one of the best speciality companies on
the road, and played to a crowded house

master General Gary has decided not

pointment of Mrs. Patterson to the Bis

The idea of presenting the band min
strel performance in Mandan has been

tertainment unless there we're a sub
stantial guarantee.
r. D. Hoskins returned this morning
from Fargo where he went to look after
the interests of the Bismarck exhibit at

900 birds on exhibition, some of them
remarkably fine ones. Billy Falconer
secured a second prize on barred ply
mouth rock, and Charley Wachter will
probably get a first prize on white ply
mouth rock. Some of the birds grade
up to 80 points.
There were fourteen cars on this
mornings west bound Northern Pacific
train. All of the sleeper berths were
engaged at st. Paul, and an extra
tuorist sleeper was put On there and was
full, above and below, at Fargo. A
number of passengers from there were
unable to get berths, and seats of the
ordinary kind were at a premium. The
same condition of things prevails almost
every day on the west bound trains.

of coal OF his claim on the old Fort
Lincoln reservation. 1t crops out of
the bluff on the west side of the Heart
river a short distance from the Mis-
souri,. If the coal proves to be as good
as present appearances indicate MI.
Wilbur will not need any Alaska gold
mines to make him rich. The mine is
less than four miles from either Man

are frozen is readily accessible from
both places.
