yesterdays Tribune being carried out.
A number of newcomers came in on
the noon train and last night and the

"UncIe Sam" Is Here-John F.
Briggs of Wahpeton, is, among the
aged veterans with us today Though
81 years old, Comrade Briggs scarcely
looks go. In several national encamp-
ment parades he has appeared as the
typical "Uncles SAM wearing the
starry coat and striped trousers. His
long white hair and style of wearing
his beard add to the effectiveness of
the representation.
Experimental Plots-E. G: Scholar
der of the agricultural college, in
charge of the demonstration farms
started by the N. P. railway, spent
several hours today looking over the
rotation plots located on the penitenti-
airy grounds He reports the crops in
thriving condition, although the leaves
are somewhat slivered, due to the hail
storm a few days ago. He found con.
siderable red rust in the lower leaves
of the wheat.
No Spectacular Affair-The joint
military drill at Fort Russell by the
regulars of the U. IS. Army and the
militia of this state WILDE strictly
military education of troops There
will be minimum of dress parades
and a maximum of drill work, ant
instruction in military tactics. The
object is to harden the troops ant
iperfect ..their field training. The wal
| department has issued general orders
for the program at the Fl. Russell
encampment.
Tanner Was cosporal-For the
information of many it may be sale
that Corporal" Tanner was really q
corporal when. he left the service, and
is justly entitled to that, title. He
was probably the only corporal in the
war of the rebellion, judging by the
numerous titles floating around loose
as a rule He enjoys joking on this
subject, about as much as Comrade
lW. Foley of Medora, who is here
tposing as the only private in the
Union army.
Handsome Windows-Many Of thu
4 merchants have taken cognizance O.
| the encampment of the Grand Army
and have presented to view some very
handsomely decorated store windows
The A: W. Lucas company windows
are worthy of special mention, being
| probably the most artistic decoration:
ever gotten up in honor of a public
event. Beardsley & Finney have
shown excellent taste in the arrange
ment of one of their windows. 1t:
simplicity makes it exceedingly ricl
and appropriate. Webb Brothers hav,
Ealso a handsome window, ~.
