There is quite an unusually epidemic of skunks between Mingsville and Glenboro and the numerous packs of prairie dogs are killing them by the score. A few days ago the had two dead skunks under the cars and the train run over a skunk. A quantity of skunk oil, which is the [illegible] of people have on hand, was thrown upon the bottom of the lady's coach, and in a few moments the most horrible fumes arose from the floor. The odor was suffocating and the occupants were ill. there came to the conclusion that this Northern Pacific country was a queer country. It is reported that in the vicinity quite a number of late roosts have been despoiled of late, presumably by skunks.—*Mandan Pioneer.* *From Saturday's Daily.* John Dohoney was brought to the Asylum from Millboro yesterday. Frank Stuckey and T. Wych, prominent Wells county people, are in town taking in the sights of the metropolis for a few days. Young Totem is at the Grand Forks fair this week, competing against the Bull of Devils Lake. Totem rides in the half mile dash on Little Fred, a good runner. Frank Bell reports that the attendance at the M. O. A. meeting on the increase. The members show up early and generally take part in the exercises. Miss Kate Needham, well known in Jamestown, Milntha and Syracuse as a painstaking and successful teacher, was in north the other day to take charge of the New Rockford school. Ex-Mayor Fint came in yesterday, from Windsor, where he has been superintending grading for a contractor. He reports that while turning around some of his hay he found a rattlesnake 300 long. The new corral store at Dickey conducted by Swan & Wemple, who take a whole page in the Dickey Press to kindly introduce themselves to the farmers and tell the people what they have for sale, is said to be doing a great business. A rather unusual accident occurred— two men hurriedly jumped up on a box wagon, one of them, in doing so, accidentally kicked the other in the abdomen, inflammation of the bowels ensued, and the poor man died in agony the next day. Contractor Hotchkiss is erecting a handsome cottage on First ave. and Front st. for W. H. Macausland. The contractor has agreed to rush the work in his shop, the inside work on that building will be one story with a large wing. Mr. and Mrs. D. McKay Lloyd and two children and Miss Lloyd, of Ypsilanti, Mich., and Mrs. Miss Hugh Wright, of Pittsburg, arrived at the Gladstone yesterday, and will stay a month or more.

B. will take place on the evening of Sept. 25th and 26th at the Opera room. It is a combined lecture and stereopticon entertainment. Further particulars will be announced and the public is cordially invited to the programme. The members of the Jerome Mattes household have just returned from an annual trip to Dakota for several years past, together with other delights mentioned. They come from Massachusetts and are generally looking at the crops of various Idaho and Dakota. They will pay attention to the country, Steele and Tappan on their return trip. D. L. Wilton has been absent in the eastern portion of the state, several days, on land business. He states that crops there are considered good, and he reported, in many cases. They have are so well understood that the people there are not discouraged enough to prevent plowing back all the land possible. The principal difficulty seems to be a quantity of feed for stock. A young Russian about nineteen years of age, speaking no English, and who had been working in Valley City in a gun shop and with a threshing crew has mysteriously disappeared, without drawing his wagon and without taking his effects. Paul play is suspected and his friends were in the city yesterday endeavoring to learn something about him. His name is Albert Kraun. A man was recently reported of mysteriously having been thought to have been thrown into the river down there and it is possible that something of the same kind may have been done in this case. In the running race at Grand Forks it is seen from the Herald that this race was a half mile between horses. A platform for hurting out two horses, the races go under and amid great excitement among the spectators. The race was close to the thread. Little Fred, ridden by young Totem was first at the close. Epha is a nice race to anybody. Capt. Wade's yearling bull Prince of Wayne took first prize among the [illegible] and [illegible]. The Dakota Valley herd of L. C. Wade, Jamestown, Dak., always gets a good chorus of praise from visitors. The proprietor Mr. Wade is a reader of our paper stated. The machinery for the Artesian well has arrived from Redfield, where the last well was down by the city people, showing a strong presence and a good stream. Operations here will probably begin soon, and the time will be utilized in arranging necessary shafts to enable the expert to start directly in position. The expert in charge states that the shale crust hereabouts points to an Artesian well in such a peculiar formation, but he says that the water will come out making a good flow at about one thousand feet. There are several artesian wells in the James River Valley, and no apparent diminution of the flow has been noticed from the increasing number. Wells around Medina, and at Sterling, which have been flowing for twelve years, are as strong to-day as ever. The progress of the work will be carefully watched and the different strata noted and noted with interest by local geologists and others interested. *From Tuesday's Daily.* Mayor Long welcomed a number of addition to their family in the person of a little girl baby. Congratulations are in order. Frank Kemper, who has been at ypsilanti called at the Alert office yesterday, and is now on the 1st, South Street avenue, with his family quarters. Charlie Wright left Sunday night for Minneapolis, who he will enter a wholesale and retail grocery business. He goes with the household goods in the course of a few weeks.

M. Cooke, who will open up the new Jamestown college, preached an able and eloquent sermon to a large attendance at Congregational Church Sunday evening. The professor is fine speaker and made a very favorable impression. The family of Mr. E. Schwellenbark, consisting of a husband, wife, daughter, son, an unit, Miss Brennen, have arrived in Jamestown from Missouri and are temporarily on South Fifth avenue. Mr. Schwellenbach is well known as a business man who are glad to learn of his residence becoming Jamestown. Fred Houston has left the Minuewawa— Geo ran and gone back to Illinois. Fred was at the freight clerk at the freight depot. It is hard to get along without Fred and Reindorph, who have both been excellent. C. Yerkes takes his place and will make his last and best endeavors to make Jamestown his permanent residence. Miller Watkins, a farmer living about four miles southwest of Jamestown, had quite a serious accident Sunday evening. He was out in other pasture when he had a sick horse, when the horse fell on Mr. Watkins, bruising him and breaking his knee—both bones were broken. Dr. Sullivan relieved him as much as possible. Professor and Mrs. Wells returned Sunday from their extended trip to the resort of Northern Minnesota. A delightful time was experienced on those breezy, lake-sorrounded shores, and the whole valley is noted. Mr. Wells thinks that Jamestown and surroundings is a very good man of enterprise, but incidentally will get quite enthusiastic over some certain things that have been in a narrow range has offered. The probate office counts has been issued out of all case. Several new cases are docketed and have been entered. One was tried yesterday, wherein Mr. Silver, a farmer, was tried on a charge of arson. Thompson, living near Ypsilanti, had some crops that were burned and S. Marcus Baldwin was the plaintiff's attorney and W. A. Dawson defense attorney. The defendant was discharged after a sharp cross-examination of the evidence. This same court was continued till today—that of Pat Murphy against the railroad for wages, claimed to be due. In Judge Butts' court Monday morning, the case in against Mr. McClure will also be heard today. Pole, the attorney Wood & Rolfe, etc., informs that the court should certainly be considered in the nature of hearing all the above cases, lastly the suit of Frank Corby against George Hollenbeck, and at present his lay is also on the docket. *From Wednesday's Daily.* Chat.

The tower will be sixty feet high, and in it, the boring apparatus will be operated. A well is also being dug to supply water the boring apparatus. They have known work some time about the middle of this week. Valley City Times: The republican of Foster county will be glad to learn that owing L. H. Casey, of Carrington, for the nominee of that county for the legislature, is well known throughout the northwest, and deserves the hearted member. The only regret is that Barnum county is not in the same district with Foster county, that he will be able to win and become noted more for our county the benefit of Mr. Casey's services in the legislature. B. Frank Burper was reported to have won a first prize in The Louisiana State Lottery, and we ascertained the facts. Mr. B, is a saloon keeper, No. 6 Granite st. B.

Prof. Crowe reports that the prospects for the fall term of the Jamestown college are flattering. Between forty and fifty students are already enrolled to start Tuesday. That the Ranger are advertising in our paper. Weekly, so the farmers can cut it that they had better a bar mate, with black heads, which showed Carleton's home sickness broken up. John McKinnon, living in Minot City, the other day the man who wrote about his late trouble with a Norwegian gang here, been married, and his friends hope his matrimonial ventures are now over. Elevator Agent Smith states that the shipment of grain has been much lighter about this year it two and a half pounds ahead of last year. A farmer came in with a load which contained about twelve hundred pounds of oats. Choker hammer of every description, both wood and iron, steel screw and iron, are expected from the system by the end of the season. Nothing in the modern remedy can compare with this, as a cure for complaints originating in impure or impoverished blood. The Alert is pressing a complaint and has been instrumental in bringing many suits against the various counties for irregularities in road and various works. Large numbers of these cases are being tried in the supreme courts—Sanden, Hewit, Nicusen & Baldwin, John S. Walker, and others. Will Dennison some weeks ago found it a profitable line, and made a fortune at it. He returned it to the owner who proved that the horse was his, and got his Nullian. The whip arrived several days ago and yesterday was given to Mr. Dennison by Chief of Police Horn, who communicated whichness, which the horse now received it. Dan Burger, the widely known stock dealer from the southeastern part of the state, has returned from Ausolom where he disposed of several hundred fat cattle, and the enterprising livery and sale firm of Piper & Gray who have most enterprisingly thoroughly posted on horse flesh, and attended to the business without objections. H. B. Humell, the old-time boomer and real estate man, stated yesterday that now is the time for Dakotans to give their towns a boost, and Dakotans could never have such an opportunities for advancement as are afforded Jamestown in the coming year. Mr. Humell thinks that the artesian well propulsion is one another case of history repeating itself, and considers it his personal duty to all his stories to prove the truth of his statement. He started away for a trip of something about ten days, where he proposes to go to every corner of the world, and will tell the people of Illinois and Pennsylvania and Nebraska what Dakota is, in a more composed period than Mr. Humell on the subject. ### At the Front. An opportunity of Blanche gives the people of seeing life size views of real battle scenes, battle grounds, which are enlarged upon two hundred feet of canvas. The scenes are entirely from photographs taken from historic scenes during the war. The views are especially interesting at the time of their occurrence, and every one is one of peculiar interest to the war student. Views from the war and about descriptions of various persons and the most compelling glass of their most prominent scenes—the whole of the scenes from the midst of those scenes from beginning to end. Mr. Blanche takes an especial pleasure in knowing that at the same time the whole subject is being lent to the G. A. R. Post. ### Dissolution Notice.

Wade's celebrated Dakota Valley herd came in from a recent traveling tour of the various fairs of Minnesota and Dakota. The herd was awarded first wherever they went—taking fifteen premiums in all. Mr. Wade states that there were 1,800 hundred animals at the Minnesota state fair, requiring four days to attend them. He only entered one animal this exhibition taking three firsts, but among nineteen others from five states, he is certain of a number of premiums. In Fergus Falls, at the Park Exhibition, the Dakota Valley herd obtained six of the seven premiums offered for fat cattle. The winner of premiums there were: bulls, Jewell, Prince of Wayne, first premium; the Grand Kirkland, first premium; heifer, Dale, first premium: cow; Dotty, first premium; Spring calf, unnamed, first premium; Jewell, first premium. The herd took eleven out of the prizes offered there.

There is talk about a local exposition at times for the herd, especially as cattle are in advance of other herds at each fair. ### Some Quiet Surveying. Two carloads of surveyors have made into the city during the last two weeks. They were surveying along the James river, going past the mill and beyond the river part. Henry Dwyer jr, who is confident this survey passed, says the surveying corps was nothing more than the ones in employ of the Rock Island. The second survey was made and crossed the James river, coming out on the bluffs south of the city. This survey went through the farm of Lambert Smith, Jr., about two miles southeast of here. It is not now definitively under what company's direction the survey is being made, but in the city have sold goods to the Milward kids more recently and it is thought by some that this survey was made with that road with the object of reaching here to put in a track extension and tie or road now building to Jamestown. Others think that the Burlington route has the Rock Island, which having determined its trail, is endeavoring to secure the cheapest and most advantageous route to Jamestown, as the same time get ahead of the others. ### Dissolution Notice.

After two more bottles I could walk without a cane. I am now able to walk and have been walking and doing my work for a family of four, and nearly all the time. Mrs. Fannie E. James.
