OF this the Forum says: The above
telegram was received by the Forum at
$3.50 this afternoon from Colonel True
mann, in command of the North Dakota
troops at Manila, and was doubtless in
spired by the fact that there are about
800 men in the hospital there, and the
colonel feared that North Dakota friends
and relatives would become alarmed and
believe that more or less Of our men were
among the number. The message will
thus;be q great relief to many North Da.
kota homes, Us it would be: no more than
reasonable to expect that some of the
boys were ill. The health record Of the
North Dakota battalions is wonderful
and evidences perfect physiques and
good care, and speaks volumes for the
the efficiency of the ofiders, who are
more Of less responsible for the health
Of the men.

Ono Of Natures stranEest Whims, II
Bloom In Death Valley.

One Of Natures stransest Whims, IL
Blooms In Death Valley.
In the lower eastern part Of the state of
California is q traokless waste Of hot sand
known as Death valley. Across It, bleach
ing in the sun. ere scattered the bones Of
ambitious white men and horses that have
essayed to pass over it's torrid bosom In
early days.
A few stunted shrubs. q rotted prairie
wagon, u stretch Of telltale bones and g sea
Of sand make up its scenery. Rising from
the horizon are the blue crests of the Pan
amtnt mountains, almost lost in the haze,
and all around hovers the awful desolation
that mates with b%arrenness and silence.
Yet in the midst of 1t all there is a brief
moment at the dawning when this heat
ridden spot becomes a rich and beautiful
a. an ocean Of tinted satin undulating and
billowing into space.
The dew flower Of Death valley IL one
Of natures strangest whims. When the
sun goes down at nighttime on the hot
waste, 1t would seem that no flower Of
Gods creation could live upon it. But be-
fore morning the heavy dews waited by
the winds from the mountains fall In
misty showers upon the parohed plain.
An hour or two before sunrise the moist
sand, with its underourrent Of warmth,
gives life to the dew flower, and when the
light begins to glow in the east myriad
tiny pink flowers burst into bloom, hug
ging the sand for the few moments they
are destined to live.
The first rays of the sun come slanting
across the f1e,, and, as though ahot breath
had touched the garden, the oolors fade
and the dew flowers wither and disappear,
moved down like wheat before the reaper.
In five minutes the sand takes back its
pallid color, the heat waves begin to coil
upward In the hot air and the picture
| painted by natures brush is gone.
A few courageous and fortunate men
who have crossed this valley Of death have
witnessed this remarkable scene and told
how in "a hours n q experience all its
pleasures at the rising Of the sun and Its
horrors and heat during the day.-New

EXHIBIT A SUCCESS

State Fair Closes Today at nan
dan after a Successful and In
terestlng Display.
Various Items of Local News
Gathered about the Capital
City.
The Omaha Exhibition.

Editor Tribune: Those who attend
the Trans-Mississippi exposition at
Omaha Neb., conceded it to he one
of the best Of the great fairs of late
years. The quality Of their displays
and their extent attract and please the
people. New additions are being daily
made, especially in the mater of agri-
cultural productions. On Sept. II the
attendance was 10000 and the next
day $4,000. All debts are paid and
there is $4,000 in. the treasury, and
the profits daily increasing. No other
large fair has had such financial sue
cess.
The North Dakota exhibit is also a
success. New additions are being
made. Last week a well executed pic
ture of the Mayville public school was
received and installed, also views from
the great Grandin farm neal Mayville.
Representative Hankinson raises Il
large amount of fruit each year and
now has q quantity Of superior large
apples red and handsome, on exhibit
ton ut the North Dakota pavilion.
These samples of u fruit attract
much attention. Our exhibit is Of
such a nature, representing the various
resources of our state. that bcsiiles
being daily inspected by the great
throng-some days, by a fair estimate,
it is found at least 5000 persons view
the North Dakota exhibit-the officials
of the exhibition often call and bring
their friends to inspect md admire the
original and instructive exhibit. And
in addition, the Bee and Herald Of
| Omaha give frequent wrlte-ups. treat
ing of the superiority Of our display
and the prcd%uctivapess Of our state.
A few days ago the :Ag%rjculinrist Of
minneapolis gave Il exhibit the best
of attention by an able article setting
forth thebeauty and practical lessons
which it presents. Thus North Dakota
receives from the Intelligent men and
women that attention which it justly
deserves.
Miss H. E.. Ford, the efficient secre-
tary of THE commission, is doing heroic
and well appreciate work for North
Dakota. The writer is now collecting
some new grains and vegetables, which
will o o be sent to the exhibit. 1t IL
thought the North Dakota day will be
about Oct. II. There is a shortage pf
money to carry on the exhibit and dis
tribute the literature describing the
advantages, resources and develop
ments Of our state, but the manage
ment is securing some advancement
trusting the exhibit may be kept up
until the close of the fair.
Thus far there has been a good at
tendance from North Dakota to the
great fair, and many more talk of
taking in the exhibit within a short
time. The fair closes Nov. 1.

Bear Meat at Williston.

Williston Free Press: One morning
last week Mrs. Frank J Stiehl while out
side the house noticed a great deal of
commotion and signs of alarm among a
number Of horses which were picketed
near the house. Looking around, she
saw a big bunch of range cattle not a
great way off chasing a large cinnamon
bear about twenty-five rods from the
house. The bear was trying his utmost
to make his escape into a brush coulee.
The five horses picketed near the house
by this time had broken lose, terrified
by the scent of the bear. Mrs. Stiehl
shouted to her husband that there was
a bear around, but man-like, he didn't
think his wife knewNmuch about bears,
and that she was imagining something,
he did not pay any attention. The
woman very much e%xasperated by this
evident lack Of appreciation by the lord
of creation, stepped into the house took
down a loaded 1882 Winchester rifle
walked out and fired at the bear, wound
ing it in the foot. Stiehl, on hearing
the report Of the gun, made up his mind
there might be a bear-or something
after all, and came out bareheaded and
coatless, just JIM time to. see the bear
limping over a knoll, chased by a below
ing herd of cattle. Selling the gun
from his wife's hand he Immediately set
forth after bruin, getting another shot
and MORALLY wounding the animal be-
fore he got into the brush. The bear
was a large one. The meat was distri-
buted among the neighbors, who en-
joyed the unusual treat of sba'r' meat.
