Result Of too Great Leniency.

1t has been much the fashion of late
in this state for men charged with grave
crimes to be allowed to escape from the
jails in which they are confined. A few
days ago a man, charged with murder in
Wells county, escaped, and is still at
large. There have been altogether too
many escapes Of this sort from counties
on the Missouri slope. A man, charged
with stealing ver 100000 worth of hors-
es in the extreme western part Of this
state, skipped out Of Jail, leaving a note
of regret for his jailor to peruse. He
has never more been heard from. Most
escapes occur because of the too great
leniency on the part of the Jail officials.
The prisoners, by their smooth conduct,
convince the officials, whose duty it is to
see that they are kept in Jail, that they
would under no circumstances violate
the confidence that is placed in them.
They are allowed to go down town; to 60
horseback riding; to do chores around
their place of alleged confinement, and
when the opportune moment comes, they
are missing. These escapes are decided
ly d%emoralizing to the cause of justice,
and call for a less soft-hearted method
of caring for the prisoners by the sher-
ifs and their deputies.-Mandan Pho

That n. p. Wreck.

The Alert gives the following particu-
lars of the recent wreck neal Driscoll:-
The wreck was at Driscoll, the east
bound coast train running into the real
of a stock train, smashing the caboose
and six cars of cattle. The passenger
engine was badly injured, also. The
passenger train is due there at 5 a. m.
A wreck train was sent from here at 7 a.
m. and physicians taken along. Postal
Clerk Allison of this city, who was Sc
verely injured in a wreck near Miles City,
was in the postal car, but received no
injuries beyond a shaking up. Conduc-
tor Titman was coming east with a heavy
train of dead faeight and left Sterling in
time to make the siding at Driscoll sta
ton, but his train became stalled on the
hill and the f1agman was not sent back
far enough to stop the train before the
passenger train crashed into it. Supt.
Wilson says no one was hurt, and had it
not been that the wreck occurred on a
hill, it could have been picked up in
much less time. Six cars of dead freight
were wrecked and the passenger engine
derailed and partially tipped over. This
made it very difficult to pick up and i,
was not until the middle of the after,
noon that the rails were cleared.
Supt. Wilson says the Aagman was
sent back about two blocks, or 600 feet,
but not far enough to stop the passenger
train. The air was filled with fog, the
rails slippery, and a stop could not be
made in time to prevent a bad wreck.

Rates Come Down.

st. Paul Dispatch: The entry of the
500 line into Bismarck has made it ne
cessary for the two lines-the Northern
Pacific and the Soo-to put into effect
joint rates
The Northern Pacific has up to now
been the only outlet and inlet possessed
by Bismarck. The two lines have taken
advantage of the opportunity and re-
duced existing rates from 5 to 8 per cent,
according to the class. The Soo's mile
age is shorter by twenty miles than its
competitors.
The new rates went into effect Aug. q.
The first class rate is 81 per 100 pounds
between Bismarck and the Twin Cities,
second class, s. cents; third class, 81
cents; fourth class, 81 cents; fifth class,
Al cents; class a." 40 cents; class 3D."
IS cents; class &c" 80 cents; class 3D."
Is cents, and class "E," 20 cents.
A year ago the Northern Pacific lines
all reduced their rates into the same ter
ritory, making the total reduction in
rates to Bismarck during the past eight
cen months about 10 or IL percent.

Eariy History and the 500.

The completion Of the 500 railroad in
to Bismarck called forth the following
from the Forum
"The N. P. reached the Missouri river
away back in the early seventies-Bis-
marck was a civilized city on the east
banks of the river-whilc across on the
bluff on the other side-the painted alb.
original warrior could be plainly seen
over the expanse. Then came the
Washburn road leading north through
the rich valley to the coal 6elds-a local
road with exceeding possibilities. And
now after these many long years-the
Soo-a trunk line from the Sault Ste.
Marie on the eastern borders of the
United States-where only the straits
separate us from Canada-coming from
the southeast-makes entry into Bis
marck-a fully equipped, splendidly OPP
Grated railroad, with all the adjuncts Of
a transcontinental line-making its ad-
vent into the city,"

Der vines that covered the southern
wall of his house and had lessened by
half the pile Of FOUNDER" apples that
he had purposed shipping to his mar
ried sister in New York for old tines
sake.
Clad in his white cotton nightshirt
and with the red carpet slippers on his
feet that always stood at his bedside,
ready for instant use, this bachelor
leaped down the front stairs and pick

grandmother and that had been mott.

He opened the front door, brandish-
ing this terrible bludgeon, and the oxe;,
glanced mildly at him and then ambled
through his sweet pea hedge, carrying
off garlands of flowers on their broad
horns. Then as he pursued they punch
cd holes in his well kept lawn, marking
their easy progress to the street, where
they stopped and looked over their
shoulders and seemed to smile ut him.
This so enraged him that he deter
mined to chase them down the road as
far as he could. He forgot his scanty
clothing, forgot everything but the fact
that these veXatious beasts had ruined
his garden and had then added insult
to injury by grinning at him. He might
have driven them into the Goodwin lot
that lay across the way, but the fence
was newly torn, and it would have been
foolish to try penning them up for the
night. They were out for lark, and
he would help them to one, only it
should not be at his further expense.
So he hurled the buster at them and
hit the nigh one amidships. The great
animal made a playful pass with his
hind legs and knocked ported fuchsia
Off a stump with the case of a pre-.
miere danseuse.
Trueman seized the broken pieces of
the pot and hurled them at the wicked
pair, and both were hit on the head.
And then the race began. With tossing
horns they tore southwark down the
road. He recovered his treasured feath-
er buster and sprinted after them, his
drapery streaming in the wind, his red
slippers slapping his heels rhythmically
with each stride, and the feather buster
gyrating in the air like drum majors

snowy whiteness of his toga, but a
jump and shake and a plunge for

gained the space he had lost by falling
and once more the feathered dart hur-
tied through the air in manner sug-

short of its mark.

tween them and his grounds. He would

continental gentleman who became an
author threw aside his German, Dutch

present the clumsy machinery of the
law has to be set in motion before u

Austria and Holland, and in many
cases fee paid besides.

Real Estate.

Since March first the real estate mar
ket has been slow and inactive but
there has been strong and growing
sentiment, that there would be a steady
increase in prices regardless of the
high prices that have prevailed the
past years.
During the past week, few ssles
were made and prices offered that
tends to show the upward trend and
advance, that may be expected.
Ed Finch was offered $4,000 an acre
for his.2O0 acre farm by two men and
refused to let Ego. Jay Shingledeck-
er sold his 100 acre farm east Of town,
for $40, 10000. A. G. Darland OF Doug
las township, sold his place for $4,000
and gets this years crop and is to re-
ceive all the purchase money, cash in
hand. Hans Christensen sold his 24O
acre farm for $500 an acre, which is a
snap. but has not the improvements
the other places mentioned have.
These prices are indicative of that
which is to come and the sales for this
year will far surpass those of last year
If the public pulse can be relied upon.
