An extra train will leave Mandan at 7:15 this evening for the accommodation of all who desire to attend the concert given in aid of the nor's Guard. The entertainment.will be one of anosnal merit. A new postoffine has been established between Bismarck and Fort.Yates about eight miles south Glencoe, at the ranch of C. 0. Livingstone, Mrs.

Livona Livingstone bos been appointed postmistress. The office is called Livona. The Ladies Aid society of the M. E. church will meet at the M.

E. parsonage this afternoon at 2 o'clock. All the ladies of the congregation are earnestly requested to be present as some special wotk for the church is to be attended to. The excellence of the programme to be given at the Guard's concert this evening should tract a large audience to Union hall. A better programme could not have been selected.

Tickets are placed at the low figure of fifty cents. Many office and store windows were opened yesterday afternoon and numerous coal fires were allowed to burn out. With the exception four or five extremely cold days, the oldest inhabitant cannot recall a milder or more ant winter. PISTBOBS who take newspapers from the postoffice sent to them without orders, are liable for the subscription price. Where papers are sent that are not ordered, unless the party receiving them is willing to become responsible for the subscription price, they be refused, and the postmaster is then required to notify the publishers.

Quite a number of our prominent citizens expressed a determination to purchase $5 and $10 worth of tickets to the concert to aid the Governor's Guard. Many more will doubtedly follow. The TRIBUNE hopes that a sufficient snm will be realized to place the ization on a sure footing and largely assist in yaoenring the beautiful uniforms selected. The Capital City Job Booms, which will soon be opened on Fourth street, in the building cently occupied by the Daily Capital, are owned by Colonel Lounsberry and have been leased to A. F.

Van Epps, who will doubtless be able to build up a profitable business. The newspaper office belonging to the Capital outfit is sale. It is complete in every particular. The. Chicago News, in referring to the tion of C.

S. Fee, of the North Paoific, and the engagement of H. C. Davis, reoently of the St, Paul, Minneapolis A Manitoba road, says: "Mr. Tee has an enviable record as a thorough-going passenger man, and his promotion is a fitting mark of appreciation.

Mr. Davis the first bnkeman and fired on the first engine on the North Pacific, and delivered the first stroke on the last spike. Since his early connection with the North Pacific he has been Chicago ticket agent of the Fort Wayne road, superintendent ef the Pullman service of the St. Paul, and sistant general passenger agent of the toba." G. Carter, head carpenter of the capital building, has completed his work and leaves for kis home at Sioux Falls, D.

this morning. Too much cannot be said in favor of Mr. ter, who has not only had charge of the ter work, but has represented the architect, W. L. Dow, during hia absence, and it is said that during the progress of the work he has never made a mistake.

He has always known just wbat to do and bow to do it. No man has been idle one moment on his account. His crowning work was in framing and putting up the roof nady to receive the tin in just twenty hours. Hr. Carter is a young man who baa proven self efficient beyond all expectations and is as popular aa he is efficient.

W. A. Croffut, in a New 7ork letter to the Pioneer Press, relates a war incident in which he and Yillard were the participants. The currence is intended to show that Yillard is too tender-hearted and considerate for others to be a grinding money king. While Yillard and Croffut were war correspondents and had become detached from the army of the Potomac, they went into camp one night with three rails for a mattress and two blankets for coverlets.

During the night Croffut was several times awakened by Yillard carefully pushing the blankets over him as though he (Yillard) had more than his The action wrs each time accompanied by the words, "excuse me." Croffut does not wonder that Yillard is again a poor man, but marvels much that he ever became rich. To the Emigrant. The emigrant seeking anew prairie home cannot overestimate the importance of the fuel question. One hundred and sixty aorea of land in the vicinity of Bismarck where good coal can be mined or where it can ba bought for 93.50 a ton is worth twice aa much as tbe same quantity of land in central, southern or eastern Dakota where ooal is not found and where other iael is exceedingly scarce. It is a well-known x.

,5, bot that in tbe immediate vicinity of Btunxok and west of tbe river several ooal minea am ing profitably worked and newones are bring disoovered almost every day. The report of the commissioner of the general land offioe for tbe year 1888 shows that the Bismarck land offioe is the ONIIY on IN THE UHTTKD STATES where entries of ooal lands were made. The tural land in the Bismarck land district is mostly gently roiling prairie, with many streams of living water tributary to the Missouri river, and in tbe Bismarck land district may be found tbe best agricultural and grazing land ing in the unoccupied public domain. Good water, cheap and inexhaustible fuel and rich are the inheritance that the Bismarck limil district offers to the home-seeker. No other land district in the United States can offer the three inducements of good land, good water and good ooal.

The home-seekers should think of this. Interesting cases. Two important land oases are set for trial on the 17th and 19th of March next, the first before the land offioe at Miles City, and the seoond before the Bismarck land offioe. The first case is that of Winston vs. Merrill, and volves the title to a valuable portion of the townsite of Glendive.

Both parties located scrip on the same pieoe of land, and the tion of priority of looation is the one to be cided. The sepond case is that of Cushman vs. Mead, a contest which involves title to eighty acres of valuable land between the townsite of Mandan and tbe Heart river. (Suicide of Mrs. Sayer.

A correspondent writing from Yanderbilt, January 14th, sends the TBIBUNE the following additional particulars of the suicide of Mrs. 0. which was published on Tuesday last: YANDKBBHIT, D. Jan. sad suicide occurred here today.

Mis. C. W. Bayer, who came here about one year since, recently came deranged and while her husband was porarily absent from the house she put hood, cloak and mittens on her little four-year old girl and told her to go out and play.

introduced: By Senator Yan Wyck, to secure reasonable rates of transportation for the people over railroads aided by the government. Senator Yan Wyck said he desired to introduce this bill as a tute for one of similar character introduced a few days ago. The first bill was limited in scope to the Union and Central Pacifio. The present bill extends the regulating provisions to all railroads in the United States which received government lands. When the people gave enormous grants for building these railioad lines through to the Paoific it was on the supposition that there would be natural competition between these lines, but the wise purposes of the people and of congress were defeated by the corporations which are tioning," aB they call it, or dividing up between them the great empire Btretching across the tinent.

Beferred to the committee on expenditures of the department of justice. The bill to appropriate $1,000,000 to continn work upon the improvement of the Mississippi river war passed. Brutal Murder of a Child. DENVER. Jan.

is greatly excited over the brutal murder of Little Mary MathewB by her foster-parents, Mike Cuddike and wife and wife's brother, John Carroll, living ten miles from Ouray. Little Mary, who was oently adopted from the Denver Catholic phans' home, died suddenly on Saturday noon and was almost immediately buried by the Cuddikes. This fact, together with the edge that the girl was the victim of most cruel treatment, aroused the suspicions of the bors, who notified tbe coroner, aad he exhumed the body, when evidence of her terrible death was revealed. The sknll was fractured her limbs were cut in several places one leg was broken, her feet and hands were frozen solid. The Cuddikes, while preparing to leave tbe country, were' arrested and jailed.
