While the mercury cavoted
around about the 100 above
mark last night a good sized
audience gathered at the local
theatre to witness the produc-
ton of 'SUncle Josh Whitcomb"
by Mr.. William j. Harmon, a
Missouri Valley boy, supported
by local talent. AS is usually
the case in productions where
the principal character comes
from the tall grass region the
action OF the piece largely
|centcrs upon one character,
that of the shrewd although
much abused countryman. Mr..
Harmon, in presenting the
character OF Uncle Josh, gave
the lines all that was required
of them. That he has profited
from his last seasons work in
the theatrical line there can be
no doubt, his work yesterday
evening proving conclusively
that his natural talent in this
line has been cxcellently de-
veloped.
Those who assisted in the
production of the piece, and
helped make it the great
success it was were Misses
Ute Mckay, Lulu Beagle, Anna
Crowder, Messrs Earl Beagle,
Dennis Kirlin, Joe Ladue, Hugh
Cook, Bruce Fleming.

ton also picnics in Missouri

Mrs. |. d. Mason had a lively
experience with tramps at her
farm home Wednesday. She
was all alone in the house when
she saw couple of tough look
ing tfamps approaching. She
locked the front door. The
tramps tried to get in there
and then went to the side door
and attempted to break it in.
Mrs. Mason ran out of the
house to the field where some
men were working and called
for help. When the men got
to the house the tramps were
gone.

reach a uniform per centage. The
board yesterday heard a statement of

held the valuation excessive, but the
board made no change. having already
disposed of the matter Of railroad as

Joe TAYLOR. the slope historian, in a
communication that is republlshed
from the Washurn Leader of twenty
years ago, recalls the wonderful
growth of the state in the reminis-
cences OF 1868. when Sibley's expedi-
ton was in camp lear Bismarck, and
drove the warning Sioux across the
Missouri river. That was only forty
wears ago and in the years since then
the frontier has been converted into
a peaceful agricultural country.
Writing at that time, 1883. of the
great change. Taylor says:
Nearly a quarter of a century has

flying cloud. with its varied woes and
fortunes, since we rambled over the
land on which Dakota's most promis-
ing city now stands, and it affords a
pleasure more easily imagined than
described to go behind the returns"
and in the light OF that day look upon
the Dakota of the present. The city
of Bismarck was innocent of concep-
ton then as the American hog was Of
a future enemy in the German chan
cellor. Otherwise Bismarck might
have been called Brownsville or Jones'

a transformation! Where buffalo and

that dav, the domestic herds of the
husbandman now Craze peacefully;
where the youth of the untutored saw
age gamholed aimlessly, there the
public school, the disseminator of en-

The state normal school at Valley
City seems 70 be the institution most
embarrassed by the failure of the in
stitution bonding plan. While there
is some inconvenience at other instl-
buttons. the need of more room is said
to be particularly pressing there. The
state asylum at jamestown is also
badly handicapped for lack of accom-
modations. 1t is said local financial
men may help out the Valley City
school, advancing funds TO build nee
essary buildings, TIC be repaid out OF
tie ordinary yer of the school
and the interest and income from the
lands OF the institution. The Valley
City school has an approximate income
of $4,000 from the two sources OF
revenue and as its expenses do no
reach more than s17. 900 or $4,000
it would be possible to save $4,000 an
nually and devote it to repaying wha,
money is advanced.

Abandoning the Fort.

jamestown Capital: Thos. Griff-
ing, quartermaster's clerk at Fl. Yates,
expects to be transferred to Fort
Wayne. at Detroit. Mich. about Sept.
1st. This will be a very desirable
location and much superior to his
present place, Fl. Yates being about to
be abandoned by the government.
Mr.. Griffing writes that the work of
getting ready to abandon the post is
a big task and the quartermaster's
department is busy early and late.
There is $50, 900 lbs. of freight to get
out of the fort and the storehouse
looks like a great shipping depot.
They also have $50 tons of hay, $50
cords of wood and about Z 5000 lbs.
of hard coal which will probably be
sold the 25th inst. when a big auction
will take place of a large amount of
stuff which it is not desirable to re-
mov or will not be required at the
new post at Bismarck. The sale will
include Office and barrack furniture,
transportation supplies, veterinary and
blacksmiths' supplies, carpenters and
masons' tools, kitchen utensils, etc,
clothing and 'other things to numer-
Gus to mention"

The Secretary of Agriculture should
have authority to inspect and reject if
necessary all seeds and plants which
are imported into the United States.
Had such a course been followed the
farmers of the country would aave
been saved several million dollars
through the exclusion of insect pests
and noxious weed seeds. Once they
are introduced it is almost impossible
to eradicate such troubles and many
of our most destructive farm pests are
examples of what a stitch in time
would have saved many times nine.
