Charlie, ex-laundry man, has gone to Qlendive. Tommy Hughes lias returned from Manitoba. The school closed to-day for the usual summer vacation, and the youngsters are happy. The ladies of the Baptist sewing cir cle will conduct a refreshment stand on the grounds on the Fourth. In our telegraphic dispatches this morn ^,, jing wjli ,bp. found a complete report of the hanging of Guiteau yesterday. The Alert job olHce yesterday deluged the town with handsomely printed pro graind of the Fourth of July celebra tion. Small betting was indulged in pretty freely by some of our citizens yesterday morning on Guiteau's chances for a res pite. The new barber shop to the rear of the "James River National bank building, J-vrhijjih was commenced Thursday morning completed. The attempt of a Minneapolis attorney to bulldose the Alert may be likened unto a Montana buffalo bull trying to butt the Northern Pacific passenger train off the track. The Alert don't scare worth a cent. The entertainment last evening at opera was well appreciated by a fair audience, but the Irish justice we can hardly justify in his profligate dis pensing of "justice." g| Th5 telegraph company sent a bulletin out yesterday announcing the hanging of Guiteau at 12:53 p. m. It was detained about fifteen minutes at St. Paul, but reached Jamestown, and operator Cone hay had it posted up in front of the Da kota House before 12, noon. TlieMandan Times is a newspaper en terprise just started in the thriving town if Mandan, on 'tother side of the Big odd?, by Mr. J. E. Cates, the first copy Which is received. It is a neat and thrifty sheet, and the Alert extends its greeting and blessing. Th&ft i» now a fierce rivalry waging between Tower City and Oriska, with the crossing of the contemplated Grand Forks •nd Missouri Valley road, as the bone of contention. Both villages make liberal offers of fight of way, depot grounds, etc. ThMWreyors are examining into the rel ative fterits of the various towns. Where the programs for the Fourth read "The Ladies of Jamestown will pre pare a sumptuous picnic dinner," read •'The Ladies of Stutsman county, etc.," t®The error in the wording was not noticed until they were all printed. It is a county affair and the ladies from the country as well as those of the town are expected to take an equal part in all the arrangements and management. The Alert came veiy near getting an obituary from the Texas pony brigade. Thursday night. While one squad was ca pering off over the bluffs near Mr. Wal lace's, Mr. Doolittle was unhorsed and fit was more of an accident that he was not badly hurt than that he was thrown. The Alert will get an obituary out of that crowd yet, and in order to insure a jgotitl ".aendoff the party might chip in and send aronnd a box of cigars occa sionally as a sort of pre-emption on the space it will take. -1 The able and no doubt honorable at "\orney for the New Minneapolis town site company writes the Alert and demands a retraction at on ce. If we don't retract he Cannot let what has been said re gardmg that alleged btirg go by unno ticed, aud will be obliged to sue the shop *W dfttmges. There is bat little doubt i, but that we shall "skin" everything back, *Mke onrselves put abominable liars and fire that majestic corporation an indis potable right to catch as many "suckers" they can accommodate with lots, If "I. this snide town site business is cttilued much further in this country it will be regarded a short time as a laud more terrible than those sections which are wholly given up to highway robbery. Postmaster Kelley informs the Alert that the postoftice will be closed during the entire coming Sunday, as that day will be devoted to the arranging of the new olliee. Mr. M. E. Melony from near Newport, came to town for a loatl of lumber, and while here one of his fine mules took sick and died yesterday morning. The value of the mule was about $250. Dr. Cloes piloted Dr. E. G. Smith of St. Paul, into the Alert ofiice last even ing. The latter gentleman is an old printer and to show the boys how it still hung to him he stepped up to a case and rushed up a stickfull Mr. J. J. Sloan, of Crawfordsville, Ind., who came out to Jamestown, in company with two other gentlemen Jrom that place, will return home in a few days, but with the expectation of returning and making a permanent abiding place here. From the Daily, Sunday. Mr. DuBoisson has one of the finest stores in town. 1* Attorney Marsh returned from his southern trip last evening. Rev. J. II. I tartman will preach as us ual in the Presbyterian church ty-tlay at 3 o'clock. James Lees, the honest granger was down from his raueli yesterday, smiling on the boys. L. A. Rose, Esq., returned ycslcrclnv from a visit back to Davenport, Iowa, on legal business. Rudolph Pohl has leased Mr. Brand's saloon and will open it out to-morrow in his own name. Mr. Brand is going down to Aberdeen. Elmer's Theatre was crowded again last evening. Mr. Welch brought down the house by singing the program for the celebration on the Fourth. Guess the Fargo papers must have been snowed under by the Guiteau telegraphic blizzard Friday night, as they failed to come to time yesterday. Mr Winfield Sanford had the misfort une to lose one of his black horses Friday night, it having died of the colic. He had been offered $500 for the span. A mover by team from the southeast ern corner of Iowa arrived in Jamestown yesterday after a pilgrimage of five weeks on the road. This is a big country. Allen & Dodge have removed to their new quarters in McGimiis' block. They occupy three largo rooms with their law shop and appear to be comfortable and happy. Parties desiring to advertise their goods for the Fourth will find the Alert of Tuesday especially valuable. To accom modate its patrons the advertising col umns will be kept open until 12 o'clock Monday night. The frame work of the new bay window in the telegraph office is conipielea, and when the glass is put in and painting done it will present quite a handsome ap pearance and make the depot boys feel kind of tony like. The pretty little waiter girl, Miss Som ers, that came to the Dakota House a couple of weeks ago, after having stolen away the hearts of several of the young boarders, took her departure for the east yesterday morning. It was cruel of her to do so, but then pretty girls are always cruel. Bologna will be cheap over in Bismarck now. The city authorities have declared a war of extermination against dogs. The Alert is not advised as to whether the city officials arc in collusion jwitli the butch ers in this scheme in view of the Fourth of July or not, but it looks as if they were "standing in" with each other. The well known firm of Dunne & Marsh came to the front this morning with anew and enlarged advertisement. These gentlemen also advertise in the St. Paul and Fargo papers aud while they boom their own business they help to tell the merits of this wonderful valley. They have a large number of bargains in lands and lots and strangers abroad as well as parties here can feel assured of fair treat ment at their hands. Mr. L. Bixby, who, with a party of ex cursionists to the Yellowstone Valley, passed through this place a couple of weeks ago, has returned and publishes quite and extended review of his trip in the Temperance Review of Minneapolis, of which he is the business manager. He speaks in complimentary terms of James town and of Mr. Sam Matthews, who knows how to keep hotel, in all of which Mr. Bixby is solid in his judgment. Mr. J. J. Letourneau, of the pew firm of Powell & Letourneau, real estate agents, is recently from the state of Ver mont, the town of Richford, where he held the position of clerk in the auditor's office. He has located in business here with the view of making Jamestown his permanent home, and the Alert introduces him to the peope of this town and vicinity as an acccession to the ranks of our busi ness men. The ladies of the Baptist society are making more than ordinary preparations to supply all the peodle with cake and ICC cream on the Fourth. That they From the Daily, Tuesday. T,) l»^f4 v""V -"1 MAV have an abundance of cake on the occa sion we presume they will accept,, dona tions of cake from parties who have to spare, if there be any such. Indeed, we heard one lady say that such gifts would be veiy appropriate. They being the only religious society promising cream on the occasion, the others having yielded the ground in their favor, it is to be hoped that they will realize a handsome purse for their new church edifice, The day we celebrate. ,The county commissioners held a meet ing yesterday. Several new houses arc being built on Cortm,s addition. They say that a certain young man who lms in Jamestown and who was recently 1 1 GiwyJive, beouBe "mashed" on a petite. -1 tfjfj j.. 1 .\ female who is in business there and wears a red satin suit. Jack Clayton is in town. Henry Doolittle has returned to James town. J. Van Dusen came in from the east yesterday. Siiciill McKechnie returned from Miles City yestcrdaj". Supt. llobart went west Sunday and back east yesterday. Klaus, Fox & Co., are shipping flour as far west as Billings. Judge Ott's new house will soon be ready for the masons. J. 31. Everett is going to supply James town with birch beer. The stone work on the First National Bank progresses nicelv. A man with an air gun has appeared in town and located on the north side. Tickets on the N. P. can be bought to day for GO per cent of the regular fare. The ticket agent reports ticket sales at this station during the month of June at $3500. Among the many attractions at Elmer's theatre this afternoon is a balloon ascen sion by Martino. Wm. McLean will plaster Mr. Klaus' new hotel at Glendive and Mr. Neimeycr will paint it. .. Mr. Benjamin's contract for carrying the mail down has expired but he is still running the line. The band boys lots are to give a dance in Klaus Hall this evening. Good music and of fun. The Grand Rapids Journal is as bright as anew dollar and a model of neatness typographically. L. B. Miner finds more than lie can do adjusting and balancing books of dif ferent concerns in town. A wedding is on the tapis, and one of the waiters of the Dakota House is to be the bride. Oh, Elmer! The firm of Eagan & Tilden, Spirit, wood has dissolved and Mr. Engan now carries on the business alone. Sheriff McKechnie intends to keep or der to-day and for that purpose will ap point a dozen deputies for duty. Even before we go to press the enthusi astic Jamestowner is commencing the Fourth of July boom by burning gun powder. The Fifth Avenue Hotel is getting to be quite a favorite resort for our citizens during the evenings for ice cream and strawberries. Every one says he should be lynched and that is just what will probably hap pen to Lim providing all is true that has been reported. The Alert is going to take a Fourth of July "lay off to-day, and consequent ly there will be no paper issued to morrow morning. Mr. Bush has recently very materially improved the interior of the North Pacific Hotel, sets a lirst class table and is doing a good business. Mr. Danner says he expects to sell over a thousand kegs of beer this week. He is unable to supply the demand from Bis marck for his oeer. Billy Mangold, telegraph line repairer of the N. P, fell from a telegraph pole near Cleveland yesterday afternoon and was quite seriously hurt. Messrs. Brown & Co., have opened one of the tastiest sample rooms in Dakota Store under Klaus Hall. They would be pleased to see their friends. Supt. llobart and clerk passed through town yesterday on their way back to Fargo, having been out west to look after the business of the road. The new man has taken charge of the Fort Totten stage line and the Alert un derstands that the stages are to leave Jamestown on Sundays and Thursdays in the future. W. E. Dodge and wife and John Moore and Miss Lizzie Sullivan went to Grand Rapids yesterday, where the first named gentleman will deliver the oration to-day. Hon. E. I'. "Wells and wife returned from a business visit to Minneapolis and St. Paul, and a pleasure sojourn of sev eral days at the lakes, after an absence of about three weeks. Rev. Hart man with his flute,accompa nying the piano, together with several good singers, made an interesting and en tertaining concert of church music at the Dakota House parlors Sunday night. Our brewer, Danner, sent about twenty kegs of beer over to Sanborn yesterday. The Sanbornites have an eye to the source of Fourth of July enthusiasm, and Dan ner knows how to give them the genuine article. One of the finest stocks of milliner}- ever brought to Jamestown can be seen at Mrs. Peabody's store on Fifth avenue. Mrs. Peabody has displayed much taste the arrangement of her goods and de serves a liberal share of the public pat ronage. Mr. A. C. Palmer of Jacksonville, 111. who purchased some land near here a short time since, will move his family to Jamestown soon. He reports Dakota fe ver raging his native town. Still the good work continues. Manager Welch desires the Alert to state that he will call on the patrons of the Theater Gem to-day for the purpose of collecting last month's advertising ac counts. Mr. Welch is personally inter ested in the Gem and hopes to be able to improve it soon. A man gray enough to have more wis dom commenced celebrating too early in the month, and by yesterday evening was in sueh a "don't care a (hie) d—n condition that he made some veiy pro miscuous horizontals on Main street, until gathered in by a good Samaritan of the star force. The Fourth would be a good time for him to swear off, and this is the day. A large supply of material for the con struction of the additional telegraph wires to be strung along this division ar rive here yesterday, and work will be commenced immediately. Patrons of the tefegraph company will De Jughly pleated, 4:i' r-^rr *v"V"T"^ Ma as better service will be afforded. The amount of revenue received by the com pany at this point is astonishing, the bus iness for June amounting to near 500 dollars. The Alert would admonish the people of Jamestown to be careful about leaving their houses unprotected to-day as there are likely to be some bilks about town on occasions when people are most all away from their homes, and it would also warn such characters, if any have run in here on that kind of an enterprise, that the people will stand no foolishness of that kind, but will make it red hot for any depredator who may be guilty of breaking into their houses. If any thugs or tramps have come here with that in view they had better "take a walk" and not stand on the order of their going either. From the Daily, Thursday. Mr. Bly was in town yesterday. The county jail has five inmates at present. It is said that anew town is about to be platted south of Grand Rapids. Miss Minnie Lyon returned yesterday from a visit with friends in Minneapolis. Mr. A. M. White will soon engage in the real estate business in good earnest. It was so warm last night that the Ma sonic brethren did not hold the regular meeting. The voice of the fire cracker and tor pedo is hushed and the small boy looks demure like. E. P. Wells will commence the erec tion of two or three brick blocks on Fifth Avenue at an early date. Distant exchanges comment upon Elmer's Theater Gem as being one of the enterprises of Jamestown, So it is. J. R. Winslow has just purchased from Goodrich & Johnston one of the finest buggies ever turned out in Jamestown. Mr. James Murray, Supt Chica go, Pekin & Southwestern Railroad was in town yesterday on his return from Montana. Mr. Van Cleve of the real estate firm of Van Cleve & Wadsworth arrived yes terday from St. Paul. Mrs. Van Cleve accompanied him. Those of our business men who desire a cut of our new court liousc on their bill and letter heads can now be accommo dated at the Alert Job Office. The air balloons sent up by Mr. Elmer the evening of the Fourth attracted much attention and were watched until they went out of sight in the north. The railroad company is extending the side track on the south side of the main track. Sometimes there is a blockade of trains here for want of side track room. The Alert made a bad break in Tues day morning's issue when it referred to Messers Miller & Co. as Brown & Co. If the gentlemen will forgive us we will never do it again. It seems the weather only turned cool for our Fourth of July for it was as hot as ever again yesterday afternoon and the mosquitos seem to renew their work with improved appetites. Mr. W. H. Witt, proprietor of the Headquarters Hotel at Brainerd, and wife were in town last night guests of the Da kota House, on their return from a pleas ure trip out to the end of the road. Mr. J. J. Frey yesterday brought in a sample of his barley and oats growing about three miles down the James. The barley is four feet high and the oats three and a half, and still growing. There will be an entire change of pro gram at Elmer's Theater this evening. The entire company will appear new specialties. Another balloon ascension is to take place at 8 o'clock this evening. The present company is a strong one. On the evening of the Fourth a Dakota pioneer took a seat- in front of the North Pacific Hotel, and with a violin sent forth on the evening zephyrs some soul cheering music such as only the violin can give, closing with the original "Arkansaw Traveler". Jamestown can now boast of one of the finest postottices on the Northern Pacific line. Truly Postmaster Kelly has done nobly for our post department -and credit to himself. The new outfit has cost Mr. Kelley some $1,600, which has been paid from his own pocket. Sheriff McKenzie put on quite a force of deputies on the Fourth to be prepared for an emergency, but everybody was so peaceable and orderly that those peace of ficers were only distinguished by their badges. When all the returns come in the Alert anticipates that Jamestown will IKS the banner town on the Northern Pa cific for good order on the Fourth. The Alert understands that the real estate office of Van Cleve & Wadsworth has been discontinued and that the firm will engage in the same business elsewhere. During the stay of these gentlemen in Jamestown they have ever conducted their business on first class principles and have many warm friends here who will deeply regret their departure. The Alert joins the whole town in wishing them every success. A young man named Geo. Swaync, a comparative stranger in town, who im bibed too much liquid Fourth of July en thusiasm, became quarrelsome and re sisted the officer who arrested him, hav ing cooled off in Sheriff McKechnie's Hotel de Limbo was brought before Jus tice Allen yesterday evening. On being arraigned he pleaded guilty and was fined $25 and costs, and remanded to the custo dy of the sheriff until the fine and costs be paid. In default of payment he was returned to the jail. Mr. Traxel, who owns and is improving a faim of a square section a few miles southwest of Wheatland, very nearlv on the border line between the Red" and James River Valleys visited Jamestown the Fourth to see what kind of a place we had with a view to selecting a town residence site. He expressed himself highly pleased with the town and the Alert hopes it will have the pleasure of welcoming him and bis family to our midst ae cUigqg KansUw this costing fell, 4. --4 *i' .T*! ". ." Ir 1 ,, ry* "fcTT^^-TKHnt1* The pamphlet, for which the canvassers were in town a few weeks ngo, purport ing to give a«full and accurate descrip tion of .Jamestown, its history and present condition, published by the Northwestern Publishing Company of St. Paul, is at hand. With the hurried and casual ex amination the Alert has been compelled to make of the document, we think it con tains a great deal of valuable historical and commercial information. While there are some very great errors they arc mostly typographical, such as are liable to occur unless several revisions are made before the work is put to press, still it is a document well worth preserving and mailing away to distant friends. From the Daily, Friday. Everyone should have a telephone. Rudolph Pohl is booming at the Brand place. Braune reports a lively traffic in mineral water. B. S. Russell finds traffic in real estate lively. The freight office is being improved and enlarged. Field's is doing a fine business in the jewelry line. A new siding lias been put down oppo ite the Alert office. The county election this fall promises to be a lively one. Sueveyor Branch is busy making a plat for Buck's addition to Jamestown. Mr. Elmer sent up another balloon last evening. It rose rapidly aad went south ward. Granger Lees says that he will get forty bushels of No. 1 hard to the acre this year. Culvert and bridge building has begun on the Jamestown & Mouse Ri^er rail road. Mr. Mullikcn, who brought his famiiy out from St. Paul last week, has gone to housekeeping. The morning Alert will be connected with all the principal business houses by telephone next week. The work of laying the walk on Main street west to the river is commenced and will soon be completed. The walk on the west side of Fifth ave nue is making good headway for the southern boundary of town. The masons commenced laying the brick in the walls of the new James ltiver National Bank building yesterday. The rain yesterday morning, though not particularly needed,brightened up the face of nature considerably. Merchant DuBoisson has a a new ad this morning. Mr. D. keeps a very nice stock of general merchandise and he is a good man to deal with. Call on him. The Liliputian ponies driven by a Lilipu turn driver and drawing a Liliputian car riage containing the Liliputians attracted considerable interest on our streets yester day evening. The many friends of John Dole will be glad to ^learn that he is gradually recov ering from his sick spell. John has had a hard time of it, and every one will re joice to see him on his feet again. Mr. J. L. Tuttle, of Montpelier, Ver mont, an old friend of J. J. Flint lately arrived in Jamestown and will remain until after harvest in order that he may learn how they do business in the great Northwest. Despite the attraction at Klaus Hall last evening Elmer's Theater was well patronized and the new bill pleased all. It will be repeated this evening and to morrow night. Several new stars are to appear next week. John Nichols and Hanly White, en camped on sec. 33-144-62 report that they could distinctly hear the cannonading at Ft. Totten on the morning of the Fourth. The distance was 55 miles. Who says that we have not a clear atmosphere? The demand for the Alert yesterday ex hausted the edition early in the morning, but those who failed to get a copy ot the daily of yesterday can be supplied this morning with the weekly which will con tain the principal matters of interest which appeared in the daily through the week last past. Lu Verdegan reports to the A lert tha a buffalo was found the other day run-1 ning with a lot of cattle up northwest of town on section 11-144-67, near New An. telope station on the Mouse River Branch. It was followed three miles and shot at three times but without effect. Mr. Traxel and nephew who came over here from the Red River Valley the Fourth, bought three 1 ots in the north' east part of town and returned yesterday They are going to improve the lots imme diately, and Mr. T. intends to make his home here at some future time. The price paid for the three lots was $1,060. The Liliputians were greeted by a crowded house last night. The enter tainment is an excellent one and was fre quently applauded by the delighted audi ence. They will close their engagement here to-night with another entertainment at Klaus Hal), and the Alert bespeaks for them a crowded .house, which they de serve. The fact of the Telephone Exchange Company having secured the services of Mr. F. M. Coneliay as superintendent will insure the business being conducted in a systematic manner. The writer has known Mr. Conehay in various positions of trust, officially and otherwise, for years, and we speak from knowledge and the record when we say that his business training and precision, together with per sonal integrity, eminently fit him for any position of trust, and business accuracy and rcsponsibilily. Hews Votes. Senator Vest, a few days ago in a short and caustic speech the senate, spoke of some of the doctors who attended Garfield as quacks. That is what stirred "bulletin" Bliss'bile and started him up in the vindication business. After reading in several hundred dif ferent papers that "Guiteau is needing his summer clothing aud needing it bad," the Alert is constrained to wish tb«t i& a*4 sqddtutf V' 'i,, '**1?^ v,y- ji'-j 7 Jr*^ squelch that joke. It is becoming too utterly stale for anything. Bismarck Tribune: Bismarck, Dakota is ten years old, and has not secured cem etery grounds. This gives some Idea as to the healthfulness of the country. Valley City Times: One-third of the famous Dalrymple farm in North Dakota has been sold to a Pennsylvania oil prince for the sum of $60,000. The purchase in cludes the bare land subject to an incum brance, making the purchase price about $20 per acre. Mr. Fiank Kessel, recently from the East, has his new barber shop near the new James River Bank building about completed and will open out in business the flrst of next week with all the fur- of the people of Jamestown and vicinity good shape. The temperance agitators arc becoming a thorn in the side of the Minnesota pol itician. They require him to either aban- ing the coveted office, the very thing lie would be willing to sacrifice both the temperance agitators and his party for. He is obliged to electioneer with a jug of whisky in one hand and a pail of cold wa ter in the other, and be veiy carelul which band he presents. When over whelmed in the labyrinths of doubt as to which band to present he takes chances on the jug, and hurdly ever has cause to regret his decision. The prohibitionists of Iowa, elated over their success in carrying the prohibitory constitutional amendment, are now mar shalling their forces to carry the war A .Land OAoe Business. Under this heading Gov. Austin litis furnished the Pioneer Press with the fol lowing statement of the busiuess trans acted at the land office in Fargo during the six months ending June 30: m,1,A0 don his party or do without their votes, from the nonhcast co'rncir of'lot" 1 ^ck and he cannot do either one without los- 34, to the southeast corner of lot 12 in annr tlm nnvAtAH tlm immr l)l0Clv 23. in thirty' days IJls against snake-bite antidote into Mtnncso- motion of .1, .J.

But we advise them to fulfill their mission on caith before they strike Illinois, for they will be wrecked there.

GOOD NEWS, 7. G. XCnlliken & Go., Have Good Tidings for the farmers. The War is Over and Victory is with the Marsh-Whitney Platform Binder. A Read the following and give your order valuable machines: THE MAltSU-WIlITN'EY l'IATKOIt.\r lilNDEI!. The following letter from the lowest agency in Illinois, where the Marsh Bin der Manufacturing Company's binders have this week completed harvest, was sent from the office of the company to Mr. C.

This wagon without doubt, contained the body of Guiteau. At the army medical musuemto-dav'nOiau of the physicians or other officials 'wquld say whereabouts Guiteau's remains ate or wnat was done with them. Dr. Hunt said veiy decidedly that he did not know anything about it. Before the body was buried in the jail Warden Crocker had an understanding with Dr. Hicks that it should be brought to the ariry medical museum. Warden Crocker when asked about, this lastest removal seemed rather displeased that anything had been said concerning it He simply said if the body was not already at the medical museum it would be there in a day or two. It was the warden's intention not to have made the fact of the exhuming public for some tunc at least. Rev. Dr. flick* was at the office of the register of wills this morning with the will of Guiteau making inquir ies as to proving, etc.. but he did not file the document. The three physicians who arc preparing the report of the autopsy on Guiteau's body had another consultation this after noon, with a prospect of finally agreeing upon a report. Some of the physicians •are of the opinion that it had better be printed in portions. The following agreement was drawn up and signed by all the physicians and mecf. cal experts present, as well as by Dr. Hicks and Corkhill: The brain of Gui teau to be taken out by Drs. Lamb, Som ers and Hartigan in the presence of invi ted parties and put by for the necessary preparation for microscopic examination and kept in the national museum where such final examination shall be made at the proper time by parties selected by Dr. Hicks and Col. Corkhill, U. S. district at* torney. The notes taken by Drs. Somers a a a a were at once in order to secure one of these as those of other physicians, "but Dr. Lamb refused to produce the originals oc allow Drs.
