AROUND THE STATE.
The roads in Billings county are re
ported in bad condition.
Many towns boast of having had a
sane Fourth of July celebration.
Benson and Pembina county fairs
will be held the week following the
state fair at Grand Fork*.
Peter Larson, a residentof Bismarck
away back in the 70's, died a few days
ago at Helena, worth something like
8W,000,000.
The Journal at Yelva had a roast
for a man who threw a lighted giant
cracker into a barber shop where the
barber was shaving a man.
Liberal-hearted LdMourites sent a
purse of $131 to a former resident who
had removed to Adams county and
met with temporary misfortune.
Only two dipping tanks will be oper
ated in the northern part of Stutsman
county this summer, tlte necessity for
the use of the others having passed.
Business men of Bismarck kave es
tablished a market day, and the peo
ple in the surrounding country are
taking great interest in its develop
ment.
Near Crown Butte, Morton county,
a farmer became angry with the hired
man of a neighbor and chewed the
hired man's lingers so that amputa
tion was necessary.
There were no bidders on the con
struction of the proposed new school
house at Ashley, and the Tribuue
wants to know what is the matter
with the Bismarck builders.
At Minot the tent of an aggregation
of dancing girls was wrecked by a
windstorm in the midst of a perform
ance, and the performers and tiie large
audience of young men were left ex
posed to the weather.
There appears to be more damage
done in the northwest by lightning
this year than for many years past,. Is
it because lightning has struck orten
er, or because there are more people
and things to hit?—Grand Forks Her
ald.
Notwithstanding the backward
spring, North Dakota promises to give
more returns from her crops than
many of the middle states, as the total
losses of most of the fruit in those
states means a great deal to the peo
ple.
Good rains are reported in the south
western part of tiie state. It appears
that North Dakota lias no arid sec
tion. Localities which have been re
garded as dry have had lots of rain,
and sections which have been wet are
calling for water.—Grand Forks Her
ald.
Before adjourning their July meet
ing the county commissioners of Bur
leigh county decided to build two ad
ditions to the court-house—one on the
east and one on the west side—to be
used on the tirst tloor as additional of
fice rooms for county officers and to en
able the small rooms now used by
some of the officials to be enlarged.
Tiie second story will be devoted to
judge's chambers and jury rooms,
both being very badly needed.
It has been learned by attorneys in
Adams county that settlers who have
filed on government land there since
February, 1895, can prove up by paying
50 cents per acre instead of $1.25.
State's Attorney Norton has discov
ered that the government land in
Adams county came within the great
Sioux reservation proclamation of
February 10,1890. Acting Land Com
missioner Fred Dennett advises At
torney Norton in a letter dated June
12th of the above facts.
At Eckelson a man went down in a
well to make repairs, and he was par
tially overcome by gas. A passing
traveler, noting the excitement, on
learning what the trouble was, dashed
a couple of pails of water down the
well, and, while the water wet the
man at the bottom, it carried down
with it enough oxygen to revive him
until lie could get to the top. This is
a plan which is said to work well
where quick action is needed, a£ it
generally is in cases of threatened
asphyxiation.
A Wheaton lady has a new cyclone
story. It happened Thursday night
of last week. The lady had some liens
that wanted to "set," and to "break
them up" had placed them under a
tub at the corner of the barn. Next
day, after the wind storm, the tub
was found about a hundred yards
away from where it should have been,
and he hens were still under it. No
explanation is given except that tiie
wind picked up tiie whole outfit and
carried them the distance and safely
lodged them where found.
Social item in the Napoleon Home
stead: Mrs. Christina Pfeifer of this
place was united in marriage with
Jacob Werner, of Harvey, beforeCoun
ty Judge Bryant at tiie court house.
Clerk of Court Hardt acted as "best
man" and Attorney O'Donnell acquit
ted himself nobly in tiie role of maid
of honor, attired in pearl gray serge
over balbriggan, and carrying "bach
elor buttons." The judge used his
ritualistic short form of ceremony, not
having iiis long-tailed coat at hand.
This was this same bride's third ap
pearance before the same magistrate

within the past five years, each time
upon the same mission, and this time
she applied for a cut rate on ceremony
fees.
The land department of the govern
ment has stated that a teacher who
has tiled on a land claim is liable to
disappointment if she attempts to se
cure title by living on the land only
during vacation time, and especially if
she attempts to commute. The policy
of the government is to rigidly h.ild
persons of every occupation to the
same conditions in securing title to
government land.
The potato crop in a good many
fields is being attacked by an unusual
number of potato bugs this spring and
liberal doses of Paris green, said to be
the best remedy for the protection of
the vines from tills insect pest, are
used in many cases. Some of lie po
tato patches, however, show few or no
bugs on the vines, while in others the
vines are badly eaten. »ne owner of
a thrifty potato patch near the city
stated that while his vims looked
thrifty and healthy, and there were
no pests on them, there arc few or no
potatoes in the hills. It is possible that
the potato crop may be a short one
this fall.—Forum.

he couldn't bite: I geep it on liiin
all de time—he vas such a fright.
Icii had ein 111011 in front of das bat,
and ven hetrewdut ball you could
hear his arm crack.
Das feller on first vas so fast he never

Nudder feller he run so swift dot in
his bants he make a rift. Oont lie
vas so filled mit shaine [but lie vas
not to blame] that lie walked from
third to plate, oont got there too late.
Dot feller Plowman nerve did not
lack. He gave dot pigskin ein very
big whack, oont dot fielder lose it
on his way back.
llaxeldun thought it vas werry much
fun, and dey whoop lak hal veil dey
make a run. But ven de lirofy boys
at last got right, the way they treat
ed dem Hazel

De figgers was eight to four. That
made us sore, oont de boys said Ha

His Umps in looks vas a fright, but he

Miss Jennie Talbot is assisting Lar

On account of rainy weather nut
much hay has been made in this
part of the country this week.
Frank Sweet has finished drilling a
well for Larvick, Foell and Messncr at

David Colijuhoun. Ed Larvick and
J. W. Chapman went to the Capital
City the other day and showed L'ncle
Sam that they had played the win
ning hand for a quarter-section of land
each in Emmons county.
E. L. Hawcs iiad a close call for his
life the night of the big storm. Light
ning struck a telephone pole two miles
north of Linton just as he was passing.
The stroke shocked his horses, knock
ing one of tiiem to the ground. Mr.
Ilawes was also stunned. The next
tiling lie did was to drive into the
creek bed where the bridge had teen
removed, out at the Cad Logue place.
Owing to the heavy rain there was
from five to eight feet of water run-
4*
ning. He had been to town to send
some telegrams announcing Mr. Mas
tin's death and to await answers, and
that had made him late. There was
no danger signal at either side of
where the bridge had been. When
work of this kind is being done red
lightsignals showing the danger ought
to lie placed, as the county is liable to
get into a damage suit if some one
gets hurt or his rig or team smashed
up by the failure to provide such
warning.
A. L. Gcil has rock ami sand hauled
to his lot west of this office, which
looks like there might lie a building
going up in the near future.
Jas. Lawry and Clias. Clark were Li
vona farmers in town Saturday. The
latter complains that a strange hug
plavcd havoc with most of his tlax.
J. I. Phillips lias gone to Groton, S.

season opens, lie will also spend some
time with his children at Webster.
E. F. Savage was over from Logan
district Saturday evening to interview
the Pythian goat in the second degree,
lie thinks he got his money's worth.
J. W. Chapman, Ed. Larvick and
David Colquhoun, of Brofy, went to
Bismarck yesterday to tell Uncle Sam
their experiences in five years of res
idence on homesteads.
Another good washing rain covered
this section Friday and Saturday, and
was followed by another Monday even
ing. Crops that were not promisini
much two weeks ago are recuperating
wonderfully.
J.Todd, Wesley Baker Jr., E. B.
Phillippi and Wm. Chamley were in

evening with several big loads of wool

wished to be remembered to old-tiine
Hazelton friends.
The Braddock News says that C. A.
Moorman has been engaged to teach
the liraddock school the coming year.
If tllis is true, we regret it, for, lie
sides being a capable instructor, C. A.
has many friends in Ha/.elton who re
gret to sec him leave town. Willi his
success hi the Ilazelton school tiie
pist year in mind, we doubt if his
place here will be readily filled. Our
loss is liraddock's gain.
Mr. and -Mrs. W. T. Best of Wishek,
Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Mikalson and Mcs
dames Snyder and llealy of ilazelton

John Wilde's place on the river last

were joined Saturday by Mr. and Mrs.
II. W. Allen, of Braddock, and by Dr.
Snyder of Ilazelton. The male mem
bers of the party left camp Monday,
but the ladies staid a couple of days
longer. It is needless to say they had
more fun than a llock of school-child
ren.
