A Liberal Offer.

The Northwestern newspaper which is
conceded the largest circulation is the
Minneapolis Tribune. AS an all round
purveyor of information and entertaining
reading its popularity is the best proof of
its a~scendency.
What the Daily Tribune is to the city
people the Twice a-Week edition of the
same publication, the Farmers Tribune,
is to that great majority of the people of
the state who are too busy to read a
daily paper.
The Twice-a-Week Farmers Tribune,
is. to all intents and purposes, the farm
er's daily. 1t is a condensation Of the
news for the three days preceding the
date Of publication and it contains the
very latest news up to the hour of going
to press.
The Farmers Tribune does not pre-
sumo to take the place of the home
weekly, but it supplies the place Just
outside of the sphere of the home paper,
and in this capacity it is of the highest
value to a large majority of the people of
the northwest.
The Bismarck Tribune has made ar
engagements with the publishers of The
Farmers Weekly whereby it is enabled
to make the most liberal and astonishing
offer we ever made.
If you are now a subscriber for the
Tribune We will send you The Farmers
Tribune (twice.a-week) with your paid
i%n-advance renewal of subscription to
the paper. You thus get the two papers
for SIPS. No stronger inducement
could be offered.
The same offer is also extended to new
subscribers.
Do not delay taking advantage of this
offer. 1t will not be continued long.
You cannot afford to let this splendid
opportunity slip by. Send in you sub
scription to the Bismarck Tribune and
get with it The Farmers Twice-a-Week
Tribune free.

disclosing it's position. Two batteries
came within rifle distance of our fore
most po:itiol, and the Beers then
opened IRE with deadly effect. Our
artillery ALSO commenced and appar-
ently absolutely confused the enemy
who were allowed to think the bridge
was open for them to cross. Their
right flank, in the meantime, attacked
the Beers sonthermost position, but the
Mauser rifle fire was 60 tremendous that
they were rolled back like q spent
wave, leaving ridges and ridges Of dead
and dying humanity behind. Again
the British advanced to the attack, but
again fell back, swelling the heaps of
dead. The cavalry charged to the
river, where the Ermolo commando de-
livered such a murderons fire that two
batteries of cannon had to be .aban-
doned, which the Beers are going to
bring here. Twice the British essayed
to bring horses to remove them. The
first time they succeeded in hitching
onto one cannon and on the second trial
the horses and men fell in a heap.
"Then the British were in full retreat
to their camp, whence they sent a
heavy shrapnel fire or Bulwer bridge,
across the Tugela, to prevent the burgh.
ers from recovering the cannon.
THE French attache, Villebois, and
the German attache, Braun, say the
fight could not have been improved
upon by the armies of Europe.
Generals Botha and Trichart were
always at the most dangerous points Of
the fighting.
Eleven ambulances removed the
English dead and wounded.
Such a tremendous cannonade hat
seldom been heard. The veldt TO,
miles was covered with dead anG
wounded.
1T was a most crushing British de-
feat. Nine of the cannon have since
been brought across the river.
1.-The British asked for and wert
granted a "a hours armistice.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-"If the war in the
T%ransvaal continues for two or three
months longer the cause of silver will
have been won," said former United
States Senator Dubois of Idaho, one Of
the Silver Republican leaders.
"The short time it has been in prog,
ress," continued Mr.. Dubois, ''has fur
nished proof of the contentious of the
friends of silver that there Is not enough
gold in the world to form the basis Of
the worlds money, and if the war con
tinues the length of time I have indi.
Gated the truth of this will have be-
come too apparent for successful con
travention.

II believe the Transvaal war will be

object lesson will convince the people
of this country that it is not safe tc
place on gold the entire burden Of the
monetary volume of the world.
''1t may be interesting to observe that
the panic in New York was simultane,
u with the passage of the house gold
standard bill. Now, if a panic had
followed the passage of a silver free

of the land would have attributed it tt
