G. ### CITY AND COUNTY Tommy want's to know why he cant work his chemical machine at the fires. A new telephone ad[o]rns the main reception room of the Klaus. A railroad "spotter" [h]as just returned to St. Paul from a somewhat extended tour over the N[o]rther[n?] Pacific railroad. Bismarck tallies a blizzard for last Wedn[e]sday night. The sa[m]e night ou[r] young folks were taking their moonligh[t] promenades. [F]rank Kess[ler?] has started a branch barber shop in the building formerly occupied by the Grand Central as a sample room. S[e]ction men of the Northern Pacific receive $1 35 per day. The plate glass in the store fronts on the opposite side of the street from the fire on Fifth avenue were nearly all broken by the heat. The Northern Pacific claims that parties are ste[a]ling coal from their sheds a[t] the rate of four or five tons per day. Some of them will be caught at [it?] yet. It will be a cold day for them if they are. Policeman Murphy was r[e]tired from the police force last [T]hurs[d]ay morning by acting May[o]r Vennum on charge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct[.] Public sentiment s[e]ems to fully justif[y] the course of the executive. The Alert sends one hundred copies of its Sunda[y] and Weekly editions each week to the world's fair at its own expense. Jamestown must be represented somehow. Judge Palmer opens court with prayer, and the jury on being discharged recently made him the present of a beautiful gold-headed cane. What inducement this incident may be to other judges to engage in morning d[e]votional exercises remains to be seen. The hotel keepers of B[i]smarck have made a rate of $14 per week f[o]r members of the legislature and the saloon keepers are kicking on account of the small margin left them of the salary after the board bill is paid. The Sioux Falls Press is in receipt of a communication from Chicago of interest to farmers: "I see a statement that the farmers are compelled to burn their flax straw to get rid of it. Will you please say to them that there is now a demand for flax straw when baled like hay and delivered at the depots, and at prices which will pay a living profit. It is better to cut the flax close to the ground, bind it and thresh with rollers so as to keep the straw straight. It is then worth double what it is when tangled by the thresher teeth. The finer and longer and straighter the straw, the more valuable." The team of Mr. Atkinson, hitched to a two horse wagon took the start of the driver who carelessly let them stand on the street, and ran from down town through various streets of the city and finally fetched up against the large gate on Mr Atkinson's premises. One horse was badly injured in both hind legs. It was Mr. Atkinson's fine blooded span. These are excellent times for religious revivals. There are hundreds who through bad judgment and other causes have almost entirely lost their grip on things earthly and would no doubt not be too busy to give some time to the consideration of their eternal wellfare. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Miss Lizzie Wells to John S. Watson, at the Presbyterian church in this city on the evening of December the 17th. The fourth and last lecture in the star course at the Baptist chapel will be given by Rev. N. D. Fanning, pastor of the Presbyterian church of this city. His subject will be "Footprints among the Shadows." This will doubtless be the best lecture of the course. The house should be crowded on this occasion as all who attend will not only be will [sic] entertained but edified as well. John Risk, porter at the dispatchers office in this city, was arrested early in the week by the chief of police of Danville, Ill., upon a requisition from the governor of that state, and taken back to his former place of residence on the charge of forgery. Risk is a young man and during the two months he was here created a very favorable opinion from all who came in contact with him. His new made friends in this city hope the charge may prove unfounded. We have received a copy of the full report of Gov. Pierce to the Secretary of the Interior and find that he says "a new though smaller asylum has just been completed at Jamestown, on the Northern Pacific railroad, 100 miles east of Bismarck." Gov. Pierce will now be permitted to remain in the territory but it will go hard with the associated press agent who eliminated Jamestown and the Northern Pacific railroad from the report if he should ever come within the jurisdiction of Dakota justice. The Bismarck Tribune, with its usual enterprise, has provided itself with a corps of experienced reporters and will give its readers a complete and impartial report of the proceedings of the territorial legislature during the coming ing [sic] session of that body. The people will be supplied with better reports of the legislative proceedings this session than ever before. ## Column 2 ### Fire Notes. The majority of the fire insurance companies doing business in Jamestown have met with quite heavy losses during the past year and it is thought by some of the local agents that unless immediate steps are taken toward a better system of protecti[o]n that a general advance in rates w[i]ll take pl[a]ce. The fire company did all in their power t[o] stop the progress of the fire and had they been equipped with instruments more serviceable than ordinary squirt-guns. the fire would not have extended beyond the first building, at least such is the [o]pinion of a large majority of thos[e] who witnessed it. The ladies of the Baptist society will serve a chicken pie supper in the Baptist ch[a]pel Thursday evening Dec. 18th, from 6 to 9 o'clock. A pound party will enliven the occasion later in the evening. No admittance will be charged at the door, but everybody is permitted to bring a pound of something to contribute to the interest of the occasion. Special pains will be taken [b]y the management of the Alert to make all advertisements in the Sunday and Weekly Alert attractive and we believe that at the low rates they are taken every business house in the city can afford to be represented. Acting mayor Vennum and foreman of the fire department received a severe burn about the face during the conflagration Friday morning. Chief Eagar handled the [c]hemical "fire teasers" with marked skill. Landlord Smith of the Farmers Home rakes in the credit of having saved the Clark sisters baz[a]r building with his little foot pump and four feet of hose. Carpenter Dewit was on hand as usu[al] at the fire and did some good work. An insurance agent called upon Mr. Mueller eight hours before his store took fire and tried to get him to take out a policy. Had he cons[e]nted to do so he would have been several hundred ahead just now. Jamestown has lost enough during the past year to nearly pay for a system of water works. Jamestown is not an exception to most of the young cities of the United States in respect to learning by experience the proper course to pursue in regard to fire protection. Most cities spend a great many thousand dollars before they find out what they don't want. ### Friday Night's Fire. About fifteen minutes of six, Friday evening, an alarm of fire was sounded from the police headquarters which was taken up by the railway engines and responded to by the fire company with usua[l] promptness. At first it was hard to locate the blaze but it was soon discovered to be the residence of Mr. J W. Hipscom[b?] who resides across the river in the third ward. Notwithstanding the fact that the company were obliged to haul the engine and hook and ladder outfit considerably over half a mile to reach the burning structure, the task was performed in less than ten minutes from the time the alarm was given, and although reaching the spot too late to be of any service so far as saving the building was concerned, they did excellent work in preventing further damage to adjoining property and buildings. The fire was caused by the upsetting of kerosene lamp by a two year old boy who was temporarily left in the bed room with his infant brother who had been sick for several weeks. The o[i]l coming in contact with the bed soon spread, and it was with the greatest exertions possible that the sick child [a]nd his brother were rescued from falling a prey to the merciless flames. Everything in the way of household effects was totally destroyed leaving the family without shelter, food or raiment. The building cost about twelve hundred dollars and was insured together with the household furniture, in the Chamberlain (D. T.,) fire insurance for $800. No doubt but that had the building not been situated so far from the business center of the city at least a large portion of the household effects could have been saved. ### Carrington Items. [From the Carrington News.] Mr. Bruce Waring left last Saturday for a few weeks visit to South D[a]kota. If James[t]own gives a gas company a monopoly for thirty years, the coming generation will wish the city fathers of to-day had never been born. Messrs. George Keepers and A. K. Speers, Melville, have started on a hunting and trapping expedition to the fur country. Mrs. Clara E. Briggs, sister of the Messrs. Durbrow, arrived from the east on Saturday to make her home in Carrington, and this highly esteemed family are now a[l]l united in Dakota. Another valuable and timely gift has reached the Carrington Congregational church. Mr. T. B. Casey, the president of the Carrington & Casey Land company, this week f[o]rwarded his check for fifty dollars to the editor of The Carrington News as his contribution to the treasury of the church. The L[a]dies' Aid society is making armangements [sic] for a very pleasant time on Christmas eve. A Christmas tree will be prepared, to which all Carrington is invit[e]d t[o] bring its presents. Although the gathering will be in the church, as the most attractive place, there will be nothing sectarian about the affair. It is simply desired to have a friendly informal evening of social enjoyment, at which all may be present, and where there will be ample opportunity to extend the circle of acquaintance. Hon. E. P. Wells has resigned the presidency of the James River bank and will spend most of the winter in the east. The directors in accepting his resignation, highly complimented Mr. Wells. Mr. G. R Topliff succeeds Mr. Wells in the bank presidency. ### Flour! Flour! Flour! I will sell flour and feed at the Jamestown Roller mills at the following prices: Belle of Jamestown, in ton lots per sack.....$2 40 " " in single sacks............ 2 60 Golden Northwest, in ton lots per sack..... 1 90 " " in single sacks.. ........ 2 10 Graham Flour, ton lots per sack........... 1 90 " " in single sacks.......... 2 10 Bran, per ton. ...... 7 00 Shorts, per ton....10 00 Burlaps at cost. Special discount in carload lots. Terms cash. I always pay 1 cent more per bushel for No. 1 Hard wheat than the market price. ANTON KLAUS. The various ice houses in the city ar[e] now being filled while the traveling is good and the weather pleasant. ## Column 3 ### PERSONAL. Cuyler Adams, of Spiritwood farm[s], was a visitor in the city the past week. Dennis Murphy is in the city to sp[e]nd Sunday with [h]is old friend[s]. H. M. Taber has returned to his home at Ann Arbor, Michigan, to spend the winter. J. E. Shoenburg and wife will spend a porti[o]n of the winter in New York city visiting friends. W. J. Ackerman, of the Alert job office, went to Fargo last night on a visit over Sunday with his family. J. B. Waller, of the livery firm of Waller & Carr, has returned from his Iowa visit. Jake Smith and Miss Mary Tarbell, of the stage station Tar[b]ell down the river were in town last week. J. H. Sarles, senior partner of the lumber firm of Sarles & Darstine, of this city, arrived in the city Friday. Harry Cornwall the celebrated vocalist and auctioneer was in the Metropolis last Friday. Sheriff McFadgen and Mr. Laughlin, both of Valley City on the Shy Ann, were visitors in Jamestown last Tuesday. Capt. McClellan, who some weeks ago went east on a visit with old Pennsylvania friends, has returned to Jamestown. Mrs. J. M. Graham entertained a number of her la[d]y friends a dinner at the Metrop[o]lit[a]n hotel last Thursday. Hon. D. M. Kelleher will start today for Aberdeen to attend a meeting of the democratic territorial central committee on Wednesday. D. L. Frye, treasurer of the Fargo insurance company was in the city the past week and appointed W. E. Do[d]ge agent at this place. The Pioneer Prass [sic] announces that President Wells of the James River Valley railway is at the Grand Pacific in Chicago. J. H. McDermott, proprietor of the Kirkwood, at Carrington, and A. H. Ross of the same place were in the city the first of last week. Geo. C. E[i?]ger, Thos. Foley and A. H. Fitz are the committee of arrangements for the Firemen's ball to be given the 29th inst. D. J. Garvin, traveling auditor of the Northern Pacific railroad, left his autograph at the Grand Central one [d]ay last week. L. B. Durstine and T. M. McCord, both lumber dealers of this city, attended the lumber dealers convention at Fargo the past week. Boynton has quit practicing on roller skates and is devoting his leisure hours in writing poetry. Prof. P. H. Foley made a visit to Fargo last week and was taken in charge by J F. Gleason, county superintendent of schools elect of Cass county. L Blum returned yesterday from an extended eastern tour, during which he visited president elect Cleveland. Blum is figuring on the mission to Jerusalem. J. R. Winslow and wife made a visit to Fargo the past week, he to attend the lumber dealers' convention and Mrs. W. to visit with friends. T. H. Bowditch is now reading up on the origin of s[p]ecies. He paralyzed Mansfield a few days [a]go by a scientific dissertation on his primitive ancestry. M. M. Wheeler, traveling agent for the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railroad, called the Royal Route, was in the city a few days ago looking after the interests of that company. Miss Mary O'Brien who has been an attentive waiter at the Klaus house since it opened has gone to Chicago to spend the holidays with her parents. Before leaving she was presented with several valuable gifts by the gent[l?]emen who sat at the table over which she presided. Frank Conehay is becoming quite a celebrity as a roller skater which art he has recently set about mastering. He can skate in more different directions at the same time and keep both feet in the air a greater proportion of the time than any other patron of the rink excepting Boynton. ### COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

E. J. BLOSSOM, Cashier. Jamestown, Dec. 12th, 1884. [B?]&W5t ## Column 4 ### The Other Side. ST. PAUL, D[e]c. 10th, 1884. EDITOR SUNDAY MORNING ALERT: I not[i]ce in last Sunday morning's issue of your paper what purports to be an editorial upon the Foster county unpleasantness. You assume to sta[t]e the facts in the case, but instead, you convey a mistaken impression of the situation. The county canvassing board were wel[l] aware that an election was held at the precinct which you so familiarly call by its "first name," the ballot box and ballots from that precinct having been placed in the hands of Mr. L. R Casey, chairman of the board of commissioners, within the time prescribed by law together with the information that both poll lists were in the box, and I am confident Mr. Casey will not deny this statement over his own signature. Respectfully, W. W. DUDLEY. ### What Our Exchanges Say on Various Subjects. J. A. Fi[e]ld, deputy commissioner for Dakota, reached St. Paul the 10th inst., with two car loads of products from that territory intended for exhibition at the New Orleans. The cars contain samples of grain, mounted, elk, buffalo, bear and other animals, Indian relics and curiosities, and a miniature elevator.—St. Paul Pioneer Press. The Crow Indians are again raiding the Musselshell and Judith countries. Last Monday a band of them made their appearance at Cottonwood, and, pro[b]ably as a memento of their invasion of the white man's domain, drove off a number of horses[.] When the Indian agent of the Crow reservation finds a white man on the reservation, he has him put under arrest and confiscates all his personal effects. On the other hand these wards of Uncle Sam are not only allowed to leave their reserve in bands and wander aimlessly over the public domain, but commit depredations that would entitle a white man to stretch hemp, when poor Lo when captured, is escorted back to his donated homestead by a military guard.—Glendive Independen[t]. General passenger agent Warren, of the M & M. road, having just returned from an extended trip east, says he thinks fully 80 per c[e]nt of the operatives who are now being thrown out of employment by the closing of shops and factories will come to the Northwest in the spring. Dakota will g[e]t two thirds of such immigration.—Devil's Lake Inter Ocean. Some people are advocating the passage of a law reducing the amount of exemptions from $1,500 to $500, believing it would give farmers and others a better standing financially, more credit, do away with the chattel mortgage system to a great extent and w[o]rk to the general good of all concerned.—Lisbon Star. Our friends who live by the Red River, are calling loudly for an appropriation for the improvement of that wrongheaded stream. If the advocates of the project will support Mandan in getting an appropriation of $50,000 to open the Heart River, the Mandan will labor untiringly to secure $75,000 for the Red River scheme.—Mandan Pioneer. Hon. George H. H[a]nd, member of the commission to consider and equalize taxation in Dakota, will spend considerable time at Bismarck this winter in the interest of legislation suggested by the investigations of the commission.—Press and Dakotaian. ### NOTICE OF FINAL PROOF.
