of absence for two months. They are

Grambs Bros: You may keep that
washing machine ad running this
week. We sold eight machines through
it last week, which ought to be con-
elusive proof that our advertising in
the Tribune is bringing us good re-
suits.
G. E. Chubb, who has been with the
office force of Major Brosius, in charge
of work at Fort Lincoln, has been Or

No finer crops of grain were ever
seen in the state than those southeast
of Bismarck on what is known as the
"reservation"-old Fort Rice. Wheat
stands up high, uniform and thick,
with heads unusually long. Hail is
about the only danger to that section
and there's insurance against that
enemy.
Rodney Church, a son of former gov
ernor Louis X. Church, was a guest in
the city yesterday. He has been out
on the coast for a number of years,

now residents of Everett, which he re-
ports as a booming coast town, having
increased largely in population in the
past few years. Tom Church is now

The wild west show came in from

yards. The performances. are given at
the base ball grounds, where the tents

twenty buffalo with the show which

Two performances are given today, aft

Captain Baker: All conditions on
the Missouri slope are fne-could
hardly be improved. Cattle are in ex-

ty of water, cool weather, which also
