Fort Lincoln.

The Bismarck people are happy again.
Congress has made an appropriation, and
speaking of the matter the Tribune says;
The contract for the sewerage system
will also be let soon. There is an appro-
priation of $4,000 available for water
works and sewerage, and a wire from
Representative Spalding states that at
$40 Monday morning the house passed
an appropriation of $4,000 additional tor
continuing the construction of the fort.
Senator Hansbrough had succeeded in
getting an appropriation Of $4,000 in the
senate, but the objection Of Joe Cannon
in the house resulted in a final COM
promise IN $4,000 by the con-
feeres. Doubtless Mr.. Spalding had a
difficult task to hold this amount as the
house was not in favor of any appropria-
ton whatever, and except for the rider
put on in the senate no appropriation
whatever would have been secured.
The Bismarck post-Fort Lincoln-is
designed to be, when completed, one of
the largest and handsomest military
posts in the country. There will be over
sixty buildings, to accommodate a full
regiment of soldiers and the cost will be
upwards of a million dollars. The site
is an admirable one and suitable for an
infantry or cavalry post. Both the 500
and the Northern Pacific will run branch
Is or spurs to the grounds, the latter hav-
ing been staked out last fall.

fort will be made to get 100000 to con
tinue the work. The department did

The Legislature.

On Wednesday the senate passed
house bill 2o8, providing that divorced
persons shall not remarry within 3 months
of the time they are divorced. Senate
bill No. 81. jacobson, was passed in the
house IN Wednesday. The bill provides
for the exposure Of hides for 10 DAYS.
Senate bill, 16I. Simpson, was also passed
by the same body on Wednesday. The
bill legalizes taxes in any unorganized
territory.
Representative Packard is happy. He
secured the passage of 3 bill which will
enable the Mandan reform school board
to bond for 10000. This will give the
board important duties to perform this
year. Guy De France of Taylor is the
newly appointed member from Stark.
Tribune: The house unanimously
killed the Murphy bill for city elections
in even numbered years, which would
have legislated Mayor Patterson of Bis
marck in Office another year-and now
we'll have an election in Bismarck next
month. Awful nuisance, but we must
take things as they come.

THE house applied the knife on
Tuesday and killed~the wolf bill.
The vote stood "a to 80. Repre-
sentative Mcclure, backed by
Representative Packard and all
the members from the slope coun-
try, made a desperate effort to Sc
cure the passage of this bill; but
the valley members were too
many for them. They also killed
the stock inspection bill which
had been SO amended by the SEN
ate as to make the appointing of
the sheriff Inspector optional with
the people of each county. The
failure to get a wolf bounty tax is
a great disappointment to the
people of Stark and Billings coun-
ties, but there is nothing left for
the people to do7now but to make
the best of the situation. The
bill tyr the repeal of the old law,
50 far as the Press can learn, did
not pass the legislature; and il
this is the case. county auditors
will have to continue issuing GER
ti6cates. Of course there will be
no levy of tax for payment OF
these certificates, but the next
session of the Legislature will be
in honor bound to make an ap.
preparation to redeem them.

Legislation pending in North Dakota,
other state legislatures are working along
this line. Idaho would reduce its mile
age rate to 3 cents. Massachusetts
would make it compulsory tor railroads
to issue 5oo-mile mileage books at 2
cents a mile. Arkansas wants to re-
duce the passenger rate from 3 to 2 cents
a mile. Missouri would make the rate
2 cents on main lines and 3 cents on
branch lines. Indiana wants to compel
the sale of 5oo-mile mileage books for
S, good for any member of the pur-

ures are:
Colorado-Prohibiting sleeping car
porters from taking tips, and ining pas
