[no masthead or running head on this scan; the top margin is blank scanner shadow and the printed text begins with the heading JAMESTOWN / POPULATION 3,500] ## Column 1 # [J]AMESTOWN # POPULATION 3,500 Jamestown, the metropolis and trade cente [sic] of the upper James River Valley, is the county [seat?] or Stutsman county. It is equidistant from Fargo and Bismarck, about one hundred miles from each, and is located on the most beautiful site along the line of the Northern Pacific Railroad, between the bluffs and the banks of the James River. The machine and repair shops and headquarters of the Dakota division of the Northern Pacific, and of [t]he Jamestown & Northern railroads are located here and it is the shipping and distributing point for the vast scope of country to the northwest reached by the latter railroad. Jamestown has a graded public school, including a high school course, occupying two large school [b]uildings and employing eleven teachers. It contains six handsome church edifices, and its population, numbering 3,500, is made up from the best and most enterprising classes of the northeastern and northwestern states. It is surrounded for [fi]fty miles in every direction by the world-famed wheat lands of the James River Valley, which furnish an immense and inexhaustible support to every department of industry and commerce. Its hotel accommodations, business blocks, mercantile and commercial enterprise are not surpassed by any city in the territor[y]. # CITY NEWS. From Fridays Daily. Mrs. O. A. Boynton left yesterday afternoon for Wisconsin where she will visit her relatives and where the invincible assessor has a farm rented. Prof. N. M. Crow and wife, who are to have charge of the Presbyterian preparatory class, came in from the east yesterday morning. The class begins its work the 28th of this month and will continue the work laid out for it, under the immediate supervision of the professor. There is quite an extensive epidemic of skunks between Mingusville and Glendive and at the latter place. The people there are killing them by the score. A few days ago the Minnie Hauk troupe was on the cars and the train ran over a skunk. A quantity of offensive fluid which the pet animals always have on hand, was thrown upon the bottom of the lady's coach, and the passengers saw a blue haze arise from the floor. The odor was suffocating, and the songsters who were there came to the conclusion that this Northern Pacific country was a queer country. It is reported that in this vicinity quite a number of hen roosts have been despoiled of late, presumably by skunks.—Mandan Pioneer. From Saturdays Daily. John Dolhvang was brought to the Asylum from Langdon, yesterday. Frank Brunkey and T. Wych, prominent Wells county citizens, have been taking in the sights of the metropolis for a few days. Young Totten is at the Grand Forks fair to do some fine jocky work for Capt. Dill of Devils Lake. Totten rides in the half mile dash on Little Fred, a good runner. Frank Bell reports that the attendance at the Y. M. C. A. rooms is on the increase. The members show up early and generally participate in the routine exercises. Miss Kate Needham, well known in Jamestown, Melville and Sykeston as a painstaking and successful teacher, went north the other day to take charge of the New Rockford school. Ex-Mayor Flint came in yesterday, from Windsor, where he has been superintending his large haying operations. He reports that while burning around some of his hay it caught fire and burned 200 tons. The new general store at Dickey conducted by Swan & Wemple, who take a whole page of Joe Chapple's Journal to introduce themselves to the farmers and tell the people what they have for sale, is said to be doing a great business. At the Nestor farm, near Valley City, two men hurriedly jumped up on a hay-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 a[v]e. and Front st. for H. P. McClintock. The contractor has agreed to rush the work in his usual first-class manner. The building will be one story with a large wing. Mr. and Mrs. D. McKay Lloyd and two children and Miss Kate Lloyd of Holidaysburg, Pa.; and Miss Jennie Wightman of Pittsburg, arrived at the Gladstone yesterday. They will remain a month or more. Mr. Lloyd taking in the fall shooting and all the visitors bracing up on the exhiler[at]ing atmosphere of Dakota. From Sundays Daily. Agent Graves is contemplating some improvements in the internal arrangement of the express office. Annie Benson aged fourteen, died last evening at 7:30 at the residence of her parents west of the river. MARRIED—Friday night at the residence of Rev. J. H. Hartman the officiating clergyman Andrew Ellingson and Miss Annie Amundson, both of this city. The first public entertainment of the G. A. R. Post will be held for two nights Sept. 27th and 28th at the Opera rink. It is a combined lecture and stereopticon entertainment. Further particulars will be announced and the public is earnestly requested to be present. The members of the Jerome Marb[l]e hunting party, which has made an annual trip to Dakota for several years past, were the guests of Col. Steele Friday They come from Massachusetts and are equipped for the big and little game of Idaho and Dakota. They will pay attention to the geese at Steele and Tappan on their return trip. D. L. Wil[b]ur has been absent in the northern portion of the county several days, on land business. He states that the farmers are not nearly so bad off as reported, in many cases. They have secured from seven to fifteen bushels and ## Column 2 are not discouraged enough to prevent plowing back all the land possible. The principal difficulty seems to be a scarcity of feed for stock. A young Russian about nineteen years of age, speaking no English, and who has been working at Valley City in a gun shop and with a threshing crew has mysteriously disappeared, without drawing his wages and without taking his effects. Foul play is suspected and his friends were in the city yesterday endeavoring to learn something about him. His name is Albert Kraus. A man was recently disposed of mysteriously and his body thought to have been thrown into the river down there and it is feared 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 the race was a half mile dash for a purse of $125. After barring out two horses, the racers got under way amid great excitement among the spectators. The race was close to the finish. Little Fred, rode by young Totten was first at the close. Ephe is a mascot for anybody. Capt. Wade's yearling bull Prince of Wayne took first prize among the Holsteins. The Herald says: The Dakota Valley herd of I. C. Wade, Jamestown, Dak., receives many expressions of praise from visitors. The proprietor Mr. Wade is a rustler and appreciated. The machinery for the Artesian well has arrived from Redfield, where the last well was bored by the Gray Bros., obtaining a strong pressure and a good stream. It will take about a week before work can begin, and the time will be utilized in arranging necessary sheds and getting the engine and machinery in position. The expert in charge states that this shale crust is something they have never met with in such a peculiar formation, but thinks there will be no difficulty in getting a good flow at about one thousand feet. There are about sixteen wells in the James River Valley, and no apparent diminution of the flow has been noticed from the increasing number. Wells around Milwaukee and Chicago, some of which have been flowing for twelve years, are as strong today as ever. The progress of the work will be carefully watched and the different formations passed noted with interest by local geologists and others interested. From Tuesday's Daily. Mayor Long and wife have another addition to their family in the person of a little girl baby. Congratulations are numerous. Milton J. Kneer a prosperous farmer near Ypsilanti called at The Alert office yesterday, and is now on the list. Such good farmers as Mr. Kneer will always be missed. Charlie Wright left Sunday night for Minneapolis, where he will enter a wholesale house. Mrs. Wright will follow with the household goods in the course of a few weeks. Every body who wants trees of any kind should notice the card of E J. McMeeser & Co., of Bismarck. They invite correspondence, in The Alert today, and are said to be a number one firm. Prof. N. M. Crowe, the president of the new Jamestown college, preached an able and eloquent sermon to a large audience at the Presbyterian church Sunday evening. The professor is fine sp[e]aker and made a very favorable impression. The family of Mr. E. Schwellenbach, consisting of a daughter, Maggie, and her aunt, Miss Brennen, have arrived in the city, and will reside hereafter permanently on South Fifth avenue. Mr. Schwellenbach has a long list of acquaintances who are glad to learn of his residence once more in the metropolis. Fred Houston has left the Minnewaukan run and gone back to his old place as freight clerk. The freight office found it hard to get along without Fred and so made it an object for him to come back. C. Yerkes takes his place and will move his family here shortly, and make Jamestown his permanent residence. Miller Watkins, a farmer living about four miles southeast of town met with quite a serious accident Sunday evening. He and several other men were lifting up a sick horse, when the horse fell on Mr. Watkins, breaking his leg below the knee—both bones were broken. Dr. Baldwin was called and set the broken member. President and Mrs. Wells returned Sunday from their extended trip to the resorts of Northern Wisconsin. A delightful time was experienced on those breezy lake points,for which the Superior country is noted. Mr. Wells thinks that Dakota is still the old reliable for stayers and men of enterprise, but incidentally will get quite enthusiastic over some recent opportunities that the Gogebic iron range has offered. Business in the justice courts has blossomed out all at once. Several new cases are docketed with Judge Hamilton. One was tried yesterday, wherein Mr. Silver, a farmer, was trying to prove that Thos. Thompson, living near Ypsilanti, had gotten away with a pair of oxen. Fredrus Baldwin was the plaintiff's attorney and W. E. Dodge, the defendant's. The defendant was discharged after a sharp legal sc[r]immage. Another case in the same court was continued till today—that of Pat Murphy against D. M. Kelleher for wages, claimed to be due. In Judge McMillan's court the claim of P. Aubertin against Mr. McClure will also be heard today. Pete, the old time Wood Butcher, [o]ught to know that Mac's bill should certainly be considered in the nature of [a] stand-off. In the same court the suit of Frank Colby against George and Morris Creps for cutting his hay is also [o]n the docket. From Wednesday's Daily. Chas. Mahoney has secured a large contract for plowing at Tower City and will leave Monday for that place, with four teams. In the suit of Pat Murphy against the War Horse, judg[m?]ent was entered for one hundred dollars. Mr. Camp being the lucky attorney. Passenger, No. 4, ran over a child at ## Column 3 Tower City, Mond[a]y, cutting its right arm off at the shoulder. The child was playing down in between two ties and was seen by the fireman who thought it was a chicken. Men were engaged yesterday putting upa tower for the artesian well. 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 for boiler purposes. They will get to work some time about the middle of this week. Valley City Times: The republicans of Foster county have decided on nominating L. R. Casey, of Carrington, for the legislature. Mr. Casey is well and favorably known throughout the northwest,and will make a most excellent member. Our only regret is that Barnes county is not in the same district with Foster county, that we could add to Mr. Casey's support and secure for our county the benefit of Mr. Casey's knowledge and enterprise. B. Frank Burpee was reported to have had a snug prize in The Louisiana State Lottery, and we ascertained the facts: Mr. B., a saloon keeper, No. 8 Granite st. S. Boston, John Dugan, with the Boston & Albany railroad, and two brothers Charles and Henry Philbrick, teamsters, previous to the August 10th drawing of The Louisiana State Lottery Company, each subscribed $1, and purchased four-one-fifth tickets, one of which No. 35,631, drew one-fifth of the second capital prize $25,000, $1,250 for each share, less Adams Expressage. Mr. B. Frank Burpee is a married man, having a wife and one child. The other three are single men, 22 to 30 years of age, sober, steady, and industrious, and will make good use of the money.—Boston (Mass.) Commercial and Shipping List, August 27. From Thursday's Daily. The board of education failed to get a quorum at their last meeting and adjourned for two weeks. A. M. Clough yesterday put down a 22-foot drive well for Fredrus Baldwin, and completed everything in four hours. Prof. Crowe reports that the prospects for the fall term of the Jamestown college are flattering. Between forty and fifty students are expected to enter next Tuesday. Bassett & Ringer are advertising in the Weekly, so the farmers can see it, that they have lost a bay mare, with black points. which strayed from Romer's house southwest of here. John McGurk, living in Miles City, and well known along the line, has since his late trouble with a Norwegian woman, been married, and his friends hope all little social difficulties are now over. Elevator Agent Smith states that the average amount of weed seed in the wheat this year it [sic] two and a half pounds to the bushel. Several days ago he cleaned a load which contained about twelve pounds to the bushel. Canker humors of every description, whether in the mouth, throat, or stomach, are expelled from the system by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. No other remedy can compare with this, as a cure for all diseases originating in impure or impoverished blood. The Alert is printing a complaint and accompanying blanks to be used in the suits against the various counties for taxes paid under protest on railroad land. Large numbers of these cases are being prepared by Attorneys Rose, White & Hewit, Nickeus & Baldwin, John S. Watson, and Dodge & Camp. Will Dennison some weeks ago found a pocket book with a large sum of money in it. He returned it to the owner who ordered him a fine whip through E. H. Stallman. The whip arrived several days ago and yesterday was given to Mr. Dennison. It is a fine gold plated, ivory ornamented whalebone whip, the finest ever seen in the city. Dan Ringer, the widely known stock man of Dakota, Montana, and the coast, has returned from Aberdeen where he disposed of some fifty western horses for the enterprising livery and sale firm of Bassett & Ringer. These gentlemen are thoroughly posted on horse flesh, and anybody can rely on their representations. B. S. Russell, the old-time boomer and real estate man, stated yesterday that now is the time for Dakotans to give their friends in the east a pointer that there will never be such opportunities for advantageous investment in Dakota,as during the coming year. Mr. Russell thinks that this present period of hard times is only another case of history repeating itself, and cites Kansas, Nebraska, and other states to prove the truth of his statement. Mr. Russell will leave for the east in about ten days, where he proposes to talk Dakota, for all it is worth. He will tell the people of Illinois and Pennsylvania what a great country this is, and no man is better posted than Mr. Russell on this subject. ### At the Front. An opportunity will soon be given the people of seeing life size views of real battle scenes and war incidents, each enlarged upon two hundred feet of canvas. These are not fancied or imaginary but taken from historic scenes during the late war by the government photographer at the time of their occurrence, and therefore, will be of peculiar interest to the war student, Aside from the merits of these stereopticon representations and the able explanations given of their more prominent points by Prof. Regan, himself in the midst of these scenes from beginning to the end of war, the citizens will take pleasure in knowing that at the same time they are giving a helping hand to the G. A. R. Post. ### Dissolution Notice. Notice is hereby given, that the firm of Kellogg & Tucker, publishers of the Jamestown Alert, has this day been dissolved by mutual consent, Frank Tucker withdrawing from said firm. All debts due Kellogg & Tucker will be collected by William R. Kellogg, and all debts of said firm are hereby assumed by said Kellogg. Jamestown, D. T., Sept. 13th, 1886. FRANK TUCKER, W. R. KELLOGG. ## Column 4 ### Dakota Prize Winners. I. C. Wade's celebrated Dakota Valley Herd came in yesterday morning from a tour of the various fairs of Minnesota and Dakota. The herd carried the day wherever they went—taking fifteen premiums in all. Mr. Wade states that there were 1,300 hundred animals at the Minneapolis state fair, requiring four days to unload them. He only entered one animal there, a yearling bull, Prince Raoul, but among nineteen others from five states and one territory he took second premium. In Fergus Falls, at the Park Lake Region Association the herd obtained six of the seven premiums offered for Holstein cattle. The premiums secured there were: bulls, Jewell, Prince of Wayne, first premium; Sir Christis Kirk, second premium; Jewell Lad, first premium: cows: Dotty, first premium; La'Favoreta, second premium; Lady Jewell, first premium. The herd took eight out of the fifteen premiums at the North Dakota exposition at Grand Forks. The following are the names of the animals and prizes taken: bulls, Jewell, Prince of Wayne, first; Sir Christus Kirk, second; cows: Presca imported cow, second; Lady Jewell, second; Emma Abbekerk, first; Yearling, Neries, second; calf, Peggoty, first. In the herd class Mr. Wade secured second premium. This is a good showing and speaks volumes for the herd, especially as cattle from a number of states were at each fair. ### Some Quiet Surveying. Two railroad surveys have been made into the city during the last two weeks. One running along the east side of the river, going past the mill and beyond the brewery. Henry Dewey through whose land this survey passed, says the surveyors informed him that they were in the employ of the Rock Island. The second survey was made on the west side of the river, coming out on the bluffs south of the city. This route ran through the farm of Lambert Smith, Jr., about two miles southeast of here. It is not known definitely under what company's direction this survey was made. Merchants in the city have sold goods to the Milwaukee men recently and it is thought by some that this survey was made by that road with the object of reaching here before the Northwestern and other roads now building to Jamestown. Others think that both surveys were made by the Rock Island, which having determined to build, is endeavoring to ascertain the cheapest and most advantageous route to the city, and at the same time get in ahead of the others. ### Dissolution Notice Notice is hereby given that the partnership lately subsisting between R. M. Morris and H. P. McClintock, under the firm name of Morris and McClintock, was dissolved September first, 1886, by mutual consent; R. M. Morris to collect all accounts and pay all debts contracted by said firm to date, Sept. 1st, 1886. R. M. MORRIS, [SEAL.] H. P. McCLINTOCK, [SEAL.] STUTSMAN COUNTY, } Dakota Territory. } On this 3rd day of September, 1886, personally appeared R. M. Morris and H. P. McOlintock [sic], to me personally known, and acknowledged that they executed the above notice for the purposes therein set forth. FREDRUS BALDWIN, Notary Public. ### Dissolution Notice.

T., ss: On this 25th day of August, 1886, personally appeared Simeon H. Drake and Dorman Baldwin to me personally known and they acknowledged that they executed the above notice for the purposes therein set forth. FREDRUS BALDWIN, [NOTARIAL SEAL.] Notary Public. ### An End to Bone Scraping. Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, Ill., says: "Having received so much benefit from Electric Bitters, I feel it my duty to let suffering humanity know it. Have had a running sore on my leg for eigh [sic] years; my doctors told me I would have to have the bone scraped or leg amputated. I used, instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and my leg is now, sound and well." Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cents a bottle, and Bucklen's Arnica Salve at 25c per box by C. R. Meredith & Co. ### Good Results in Every Case. D. A. Bradford, wholesale paper dealer of Chattanooga, Tenn., writes that he was seriously afflicted with a severe cold that settled on his lungs: had tried many remedies without benefit. Being induced to try Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, did so and was entirely cured by use of a few bottles. Since which time he has used it in his family for all Coughs and Colds with best results. This is the experience of thousands whose lives have been saved by this Wonderful Discovery. Trial Bottles free at C. R. Meredith's Drug Store. ### ADVICE TO MOTHERS. MRS. WINSLOW'S SOOTHING SYRUP, for children teething, is the prescription of one [o]f the best female nurses and physicians in the United States, and has been used for forty years with never-failing success by millions of mothers for their children. During the process of teething its value is incalculable. It relieves the child from pain, cures dysentery and diarrhœa, griping in the bowels, and wind colic. By giving health to the child it rests the mother. Price 25c. a bottle. ## Column 5 ### County Commissioners.

My little daughter at the age of five years was afflicted with a very painful and disfiguring eruption on her face that baffled the skill of the physicians. I gave her Swift's Specific, and less than one bottle cured the disease entirely. J. L. BURCH. Athens, Ga., June 16, 1885. ### From a Grateful Heart. Early in October, 1884, I was taken with inflammatory rheumatism so that I was confined to my bed, and could not even move the toes on one of my feet. I could not bear to have my clothes changed or to be handled in anywise. With all the remedies administered I found no relief. A friend, seeing the advertisement of S. S. S. as a rheumatic cure, secured some for me. This was in February, 1885, and after taking six small bottles I noticed a change in the feeling of the limbs, and could turn over in the bed almost without assistance or pain. After a dozen bottles had been used, I could walk on crutches. I am now able to walk without crutches, and to do the cooking for a family of four, and nearly all the housework. MRS. FANNIE E. JAMES.

Applicants will come prepared with the necessary stationery. P. H. FOLEY, Supt. of Schools. ### Unhappy Charleston. CHARLESTON, Sept. 22.—There was no mistaking the character of the disturbance that occurred at 5:15 yesterday morning. Most of the people in the city were asleep at the time, but the shock was sufficient[l]y strong to awaken them. In many houses the plastering was thrown down. The shock is variously estimated to have lasted from three to ten seconds. A gentleman who was on the second floor of a large brick building states that the shaking of the house, accompanied by a rattling of sashing, grinding of joists and fall of plastering, was all that he heard. Another man, who was on the street, says that the earth moved violently, and the sound was like the explosion of a thousand pounds of dynamite under the ground. The worst feature of the shock was the additional injury to the medical college, of which a large part of the wall fell in. It is now a gaping ruin, and apparently must come down to the basement. ### Duluth Markets. DULUTH, Sept. 21.—Market opened strong, declined and then rallied.
