Doc. is building up a trade that causes him to wear a smile of satis faction these days. Blackhillers all patronize him. Among the Montana Black Hillers who came down from Benton on the« Carroll we notice Clark Stocking, Bis marck's early poet, who flourished here in 1873 Jack Kale who abandoned Bis marck for Carroll in 1874, and two "heathen Chinee," being the first Mon golians to visit this locality. They say there are from three to Seven hundred Chinese in the Black Hills, whither these are bound. If you want to "burst your buttons," just ask "Bull Whack," of the Benton crowd, to relate his experience at Fort Benton, when slightly inebriated. A Sergeant inquired his name, "Bull Whack," was his prompt response. ••What do you do for a living?" "Whack bull!" Where do you reside "Cow Island What do you live on there .il if 11) '11 just waltz you pen for the present." If any arriving at Bismarck doubt the productiveness of our soil let them look at the garden of J. W. Millett, corner of Third and Meigs Streets. We doubt if finer garden truck grown in the open air can be found at any point north of Mason & Dixon's Line. Cabbage heads of two pound weight may be found at this date, July 15 sweet potatoes and tomatoes are prospering as- they are supposed to prosper in southern climes. Peas, lettuce, onions, ete., were long since placed in the market, and potatoes as large as oranges will.be found. Excited Montanians were rushing around the streets soon after the arrival of the Carroll inquiring for the Gem. Somebody had told them that Charlie Williams set out the best beer west of St. Paul with a fine free lunch thrown in, and they wanted to try it. The day was warm, and having tried one of Char ly's beers or lemonades,strengh'ned with Bourbon straight, there was|no further occasion for inquiry, for the boys all knew the place but every man who had a friend pointed him forjthe Gem,and the clink of glasses was heard untilfthe little hours of the next morning.- Reinforcements arc being pushed rap idly to the front. General Otis arrived Friday morning with four companies of the 22d Infantry, ahd two other com paniesof his command arrivedto-day,and Capt. (Hale1, arrived on Tuesday morn ing with two hundred and ninety re cruits for the 7th cavalry. Six compa nies of the 5th Infantry are en route by boat from Yankton. The loss to the 7th Cavalry in numbers is already made up, while Terry is strengthened by the addition of twelve companies of infant: ry. Col. Wilson goes up the Yellow stone on the Carroll in charge of horses' rirf/rf mounting .the recruits Jor*he 7th M^avahy and fbt' remounting those who are dismounted. The death of Mark Kellogg having deprived the New York Herald'of their regular reports from Terry'stommand, Mr. O'Kelly of the Herald staff,,has been detailed for the work, and he arrived at Bismarck on .Saturday and awaits pas sage to the front. The Herald is never behind when there is news to gather, and though their regular was killed with Custer they were able to obtain the only full and complete report of the engagement, including lists of killed and wounded the statement of the only survivor of the Custer battle statement of scouts and others, together with much other valuable and interesting matter in relation to Custer anft bis surroundings. OFF FOR DEADWOOD. A Party of 'Swo Hundred and Fifty. and One Hundred Teams JLeavc for tlie liills. The largest party which has ever left Bismarck tor the Black Hills crossed the river Saturday and Monday and took up its line of march Wednesday morning for the land of golden nuggets. The party consists of one hundred wagons of which we have an account and several of which we haTe not, and about two hundred and fifty men, the names of whom we give below, so kr as we could obtain them. The wagons are all heavily load ed ranging from twenty-five hundred to forty-five hundred lbs. the men are well armed and woe be unto any party of less than a thousand Indians that should attempt to test their mettle. If not the most important outfit in the party at least the most notable one is that of Ed. Morton, which consists of six teams loaded with gamblimg para phernalia, bar fixtures and 4'wet grocer ies," Intended for the establishment of a club house in the Hills. The party numbers twenty-four persons, most of whdm are sporting men—not confidence men, but "straight sports," who will give their patrons a square game at the National, Faro, or any banking games. The party is as follows: "*Edtar B. Morton, ChaSi rE. Barker, Lyman E. Fuller, kilt Askefw, Fradk 13. Kelly, Sandy Brown, Wm. Skakel, Isa dora llichud, Ed. Dafrliftg, Wm, Howell, PatCQnley,Jas. Gladstone, Lester Hol listerjBavid Johnson, J. J^Johnson, Jack 'Rush, Jack McJjJlrey, Jerrv Be^t rand, Narcisse LaFord, jfohii ~Burno, Geo, Brown, ChasrBurke^ Wm, Roff.., TheCutfit is a complete one and- con sistsof everything -that re likely to be wanted to eat* drink wear or use, and includes a lafge number 10 Hall's safe for,the convenience of patrons of the house. As we have before remarked the proprietor, though a sport, is es teemed as a gentleman by all who know him and he is public spirited and big hearted. The Miller & McPherson outfit con sists of eight teams loaded with sup plies. The proprietors are old Monta nians, and one of them is of the banking house of Sparky & McPherson, Minne apolis. They have investigated the Black Hills question and McPherson informed the writer that he was satis fied that seemingly the* most exagger ated articles in the Bismarck TRIBUNE in relation to the Black Hills fell far shortof giving a correct idea of the immense value of the mines. Their party consists of the following persons: James McPherson and Jas. K. P. Miller, Minneapolis Chas. F. Kittridge, Oconomowac E. W. Kittridge, Milwau kee T. T. Ostrand and Walter Breen, Black River Falls Geo. F. Cowan, Windsor, Maine W. J. Pennell, Pitts burgh W. B. Shanks, Montana. Whitney & Grant, of Bismarck, send thirteen teams with freight but we were not able to obtain the nathes of their party. Sam. Whitney is of Bis marck and E A. Grant of Detroit/ The liobard brothers also have seven teams in their party. Ed. Donahue's party consists of seven teams loaded with goods for Donahue & Winston's Crook City wholesale estab lishment. His party is as follows: Ed. Donahue and Joe Landre and wife, Bis marck Capt. E. C. Alexander, Wilming ton, Delaware Jackson Jennings, Borne, 111. Jamie Courteney, Pa. Robert Good, Shelton, Neb. and Isaac Dudley, St. Johns, New Brunswick. Among the miscellaneous parties were the following Jno. T. Robinson, Duluth Wm. H. Holmes, Albion, Minn. G.H. VanSlyke, Hastings, Minn. Eu gene Fish, Three Rivers P. Reynolds, Brainerd T. Mitchell and A. N. Mitch ell, Monticello, Minn. John Kinon, Fargo J. Carville, Kingston, Minn. J. N. Rusel, Dahl, Minn. J. E. Morrison, G. L. Maddock and F. C. Bean, Austin, Minn. W. M. Stone, St. Louis Albert Burnham, Yankton A. T. Moby, S. Goodall and A. P. Horton, Canada, having six teams. A. W. Kelly, of Jamestown, goes with three teams, John McClellan with four Joe. Pennell sends two teams Major Whitehead's team returns on its third trip, and a number of other teams and individuals go, of whom we could get no account. Manning's party of fifteen Monta naians should be added to this and a party of ninety-six Montanaians who arrived by the Carroll Monday ^^after noon. Among this party we notice ex Sheriff Bullock, of Helena, Mr. Star, former Receiver of the IT. S. Land Office at Helena, Mr. Carter and other promi nent citizens. Bullock & Star will es tablish themselves at Crook City,hand ling crockery, etc., principally. Mr. Carter, will establish a Wholesale liqupr house. Sheriff Bullock says these Mob tanaians have not taken any Stock in newspaper reports but are satisfied .as to the value of the Black Hills mines from the. report of men they know and in whom they have confidence. Mr. Bullock says a party of one hundred or more will arrive from Montana enroute for the Black Hills on the Key West, fie says not all are leaving Montana, but large numbers are going to the Hills. We have on hand a few Custer Chro mos which we offer, postage paid, at fifty cents each. Send in your orders. Un&dtftBNPL »J4vw,rsai SWPP MARK KELLOOG. The Correspondent who was Sfain with Cwster—Deserved Tributes to His Memory—To Whom Credit I2elongs--First and Fullest Dis patches from the Field—-Kellogg's Family. If it ia heroic to face danger and meet death calmly ia the discharge of duty, then Mark Kel logg, the correspondent of the New York Herald, who died with Custer, was a hero. Ke was not a soldier,- and had no soldier's laurels to win but his duty as a correspondent was to go with Custer, and he went in the pursuit of duty, not cf honors. 'i he danger was as great to hirS as to any soldier in the column that he marched with, and he en countered it as coolly as they. Liis last letter, which is published to-day, is his obituary. It tells only of his devotion to the duty which it was his to do, and of his determination to do it. If there was to be either a fight or a foot race, he said, he would take part in fr. There was a fight, as we know, a terrible light, ia which Mark Kellogg fell a3 Custer did, dying as a brave man should, iu the fearless discharge of his duty to the public, which he served with his pen as the men around him served it with their swords. The brave civi lian should not be forgotten while we honor the brave soldiers who fell in that great butchery on the banks of the Little Big Horft riv«r. His courage and devotion reflect honor upon pfril life as theirs do upon the life of a soldier. His heroi^i if a credit to his profession as- their is to theirs.— York Evening Post. While the Chicago and St. Paul papers are quarrelling as to who received the first or best specials from^'th'e tscene£tf CtiKer's conflict,and whil^h&Niw.Zdrk Herald and Chicago Tribune are claim ing Mark Kellogg as their special, and papers throughout the land are lauding his fidelity, the fact should not be for gotten that Mark Kellogg was the pnly professional correspondent accompan ing—the only accredited correspondent, as we arc prepared to prove b^ Gen. Terry himself, of rwhom ttoeV^xiter ob tained for Kellogg permission to g6— with the expedition, and though h£ had offered his services to the New York Herald and to the" Chicago Tribune neither had accepted his offer—neither had contributed one. cent toward his expenses—though both accepted his let ters, which were sent with our permis sion and passed through our hands to these journals. The entire expense of outfitting Kellogg was borne, and all arrangements for his work were made by the Bismarck TBIBUNE, and to it be longs the credit of sending with Terry the only newspaper correspondent with him. The St. Paul Pioneer Press was favored with correspondence from an officer. A duplicate of its report was sent to the Inter-Ocean, and it didn't cost either a cent, except for telegraph ing. The St. Paul Dispatch and Chica go Times received the first specials in relation to the battle, and through the Bismarck TBIBUNE correspondence taken up where poor Kellogg left it on the field of battle. The New York Herald received the fullest repor t,for.wardedto it from the field of battle, supplemented by additional particulars-gathered at Bismarck. In view of these facts the TRIBUNE asks for the creditfor enter prise to which it is duly entitled., and expects that Mark Kellogg will bfeknown in history as its special. All that is said of him in the above article from t^e N. Y. Post is deseived and more. While Congress will provide for "those employed in the army who fell, there is no pension for the heir* of the brave one who fell in the service of the press. Will not the wealthy journals who so gladly used Mark's work, and who are so anxious to claim him as their own, inaugurate some tcheme for the relief of the two little ones left without father or mother, alluded to' in the following paragraph froui the Denver daily Times Mark Kellogg, the Bismarck TRIBUNE reporter who was among the killed in the butchery of Gen. Custer's command was a brother of Mrs. S. C. Clinton, of 'this city. His mother is also here, liv ing with Mrs. C. To them the terrible news came with crushing force, partic ularly as it was the first information they had of his being with that com mand. Mark Kellogg was highly es teemed by all who knew him for his noble qualities of head and heart. He was a widower, hut 43 years old. He leaves two little children to mourn a father's loss. PERSONAL. Lt. Co 1. Dan Houston has returned to his post. John M. Cook, of Washington, broth er of (2bi. W. W.

The news of the Custer massacre was received at Bismarck July 5th at mid night, but the operator could not secure connection with St. Paul until Fargo came to breakfast. From that time for ward the line was in constant use, day and night, for fortyreii&t jhotics, and fortv thousand words of press telegrams together with a large amount of private and government work was dispatched within that time. The manager, Mr. J. M. Carnahan, by all odds the best opera tor west of St. Paul, found himself un equal to the task, and called to his as sistance Mr. S. B.
