Sam Jacobs is here from Chicago tn
week canvassing for "Ridpath's Hi
tory of the World.'
In order to boom the business, R.
Migge suggests Wienerworst supper
for consideration of the social gather
ings in this metropolis.
Exit Karson,'' the great wester
drama, will be presented by "Billy
Benefits company, at the opera house
during their engagement here, tw
nights only, April 4 and S.
Joe Flemming, who made many &C
quaintances among the old boys her
during stay Of several months in Bow
bells in 1902, is now proprietor of tn,
Merchants hotel at Washburn, over OF
the Big Muddy.
Quite number of persons in this 10
cality are just now1restling with at
tacks of the grip and bad colds, and ir
making some allusion to this fact c.. c.
Jenny arises to remark that the only
difference in the two diseases is in the
size Of the Doctors bill.
The village council would strike a
popular cord by arranging for fencing
and planting of trees on Arbor Day
in the block purchased a year ago for a
public park. The Tribune feels that if
this matter was taken up by the coun-
Gil every citizen would take an interest
and assist in the work.
Tom Stagg is about to open racing
stable, and with that end in view he
this week purchased from Rev. Faw-
cett standardized trotting mare, five
years old, with very fashionable pedi-
gree. Thomas is now the envy of some
Of the village sports, but his bloody
British magnanimity will not admit of
him taking any undue advantage of his
less fortunate fellow horsemen.
Ed. Arvidson recently returned from
his ranch over on the Missouri, Just
above Bismarck, and tells The Tribune
that there is there to be found some of
the "best farm land that lies out of
DOORS" but it has been mostly all gob-
bled up by corporations, who, however,
are selling on terms and at prices that
on the surface appear advantageous to
settlers, therefore the country is being
rapidly populated by a most desirable
class of people. The soil is much the
same as that of the Bowbells country,
as is also the annual rainfall and other
conditions.
Thos. Prindle, from near Sturgis, S.
D., who stopped here*between trains
on Monday Of last week while en- route
to Alberta, informed The Tribune that
nearly all the sidetrackage between Har-
vey and some point in Minnesota on the
500, is fairly blocked with emigrant
cars laden with moveables for points in
the Canadian northwest, and all wait
ing to be pulled out for their destina-
tion. From all reports the Canadian
movement is something un-
precedented in the history of the entire
northwest.
w. L. Streeter, who some ten days
ago came here from Granite Falls,
Minn., with number of horses, seems
to have been playing in hard luck since
he started from home. His car was
subject to many annoying delays while
en- route from Granite Falls, and on
reaching Donnybrook the car was in a
wreck, resulting in the killing of two
Of his horses and the manning of two
or three more. He came on to Bow
bells with the remnant of his outfit, in
tending to break up some land, but this |
the condition of the horses would not
admit of, so after disposing of them as
best he could, he started on the return
trip to his home at Granite Falls on Tues
lay last.
North Dakota authorities are in re-
.eipt of letters addressed to Commits
sioner of Police, North Dakota, from
3. E. Sampson, superintendent of the
London branch Of the Prudential In

ion as to the whereabouts of his son,
