A very pleasant affair was the lawn sooial given by the ladies of the Eastern Star on the grounds at the Hughes dence Thursday eve. The attendance was large, the lawn being well filled with the numbers who came to enjoy the event.

The grounds were prettily lighted with Chinese lanterns, and several large tents had been erected, one for the serving of refreshments, and another for the commodation of those who wished to play cards or engage in similar ments. At the lower end of the lawn a platform 16x40 feet had been erected, and those who desired to dance were afforded the opportunity. The dancing pavilion furnished amusement, galore, and the place was the scene of pleasure unalloyed. The evening was perfect for the complete success of the event, the air being cool and delightful, and the evening passed very satisfactorily to all concerned. Altogether, the ladies who managed tbe affair are to be lated upon the success of the event.

Ask John About This. F. S. Parker made a strange at Devils Lake the other day, according to the Free Press. He noticed a dog chewing on something that appeared to be a human head.

A close examination revealed that such was the case. The authorities were notified at once and started out to unearth a horrible and mysterious murder. The clew was lowed up and it was learned that the deg had been seen coming from the rear of the Merchants bank block. The tenants were then interviewed but not one was found willing to confess to mitting the crime. It at last leaked out that the head was Jack Kennedy's, and during the Baldwin murder trial State's Attorney Cowan had exhumed it for the purpose of using it as evidence before the jury, and had afterwards placed it in a box and stored it away in a rubbish room in the rear of the land office.

The door was left open the other day and the dog went in and brought it out. Can't Hurt Bronchos Jamestown Alert: A loud crash of broken glass startled the passers-by on Fifth avenue Thursday noon, and ticularly startled Aug. Haight, who was seated at his desk in the old Lloyd bank building writing. The cause of tbe commotion was a runaway I roucho mare that came dashing along the street north of the opera house block, with a chain BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, AUG 23 1895 attached to tbe halter and a hind foot. The little animal was on the keen run as she turned on Fifth avenue, and ning directly across the street, jumped clear through the plate glass window of the bank building on the corner.

The glass, which is a quarter of an inch thick, was shivered in ten thousand fragments, and fell to the floor with a prolonged crash. The horse, after ing inside the bank, slipped and fell to the floor, but was up again in an and walked quietly through a partition door around in front of the bank counter and out a rear door to the back room, where she was caught and led out on the street. Dunlap's Idea. Editor Dunlap was up from Valley City a few days ago, and the Record this week, says: "In a conversation with Auditor Briggs it was learned that the bills for the state institutions had all been paid up to the first of April and that if the railroads paid their taxes promptly the bills would probably be paid up to the first of July and probably later. This fall Mr.

Briggs expects the state will be on cash basis, and when the present administration goes out of office they expect to turn affairs over to their successors with the indebtedness inherited from the last administration totally wiped out. With this end in view "Economy" is the watchword in every department. No unnecessary expense is incurred anywhere.

Senator Anderson Baker was in sultation with Judge Chase and States Attorney Allen Friday, regarding the invoking of the law to insure peace and quiet on the part of Jack Venable. Jack was released from the pen not long ago, where he was confined for an assault on the senator, and the latter has heard ports of threats made by Jack. Then too, Jack gave the senator a cane some years ago, and the latter went to con siderable expense to have a gold head put on it, and other decorations made. Now Jack wants it back and the senator isn't disposed to give it unless Jack pays for the improvements. After some discussion, it was agreed that Jack hadn't done anything to warrant his ing placed under bonds, and the senator left the cane with Judge Chase, as a sort of hostage.

A Tough Pair. From reports received by Warden Wilson, it is believed the missing con victs, Watkins and Smith, are down in the country about the head of Grand Biver, where they have found aid in the way of kindred spirits.

T. E. WALDORF, Menoken, Burleigh N. D. Death of Mrs.

Bauj(hn. Mrs. Caroline Baughn, mother of Mrs. W. S.

Moorhouse, died at the residence of Capt. W. S.Moorhouse Thursday night of intermittent fever. Mrs. Baughn was taken ill about three weeks ago, and grew rapidly worse from the beginning of her illness, little hope of her recovery having been felt for the past week.

Although she suffered acutely during her last illness, the end was ful, and her death occurred quietly and passing of her spirit being like the lapse of a tired and wearied person into sleep. The deceased was born 1828, and would have been 67 years of age next October. She came to America in 1849, living for a time in Kansas, afterward in California, and having come to marck some months ago with tbe tion of making a permanent home here with Captain and Mrs. Moorhouse. She leaves four Annie E.

Moorhouse of this city, W. C. Holtham of Frankfort, and Frank and A. L. Holtham of Modesto, Cal.

The loss to each of them will be keenly felt, and the siucerest of sympathy will be extended ALLISON SAYS NO. Judge Allison of Steele Pronounces That Life Insurance Story a Falsehood. Jim Campbell Says Too that the Same Report Conceriug Him Is Wrong. Editor Tuttle of Mandan Has a Word to Say In the Kent Matter. Allison Says No.

The latest sensation in the Kent case is a telegram from Mandan published in several eastern papers, to the effect that Attorney Campbell of Mandan was authority for the statement that B. P. Allison of Steele, who was formerly the friend and adviser of Kent, and who was one of the last persons seen by Kent just before he left the country a year ago, had stated that he (Allison) had in bis possession a life insurance policy for the life of Mrs. Kent, which Kent had turned over to him, and that now that Kent had been twice convicted of the murder, there was no further use in keeping it quiet. This report nas created conpiderable excitement on both Bides of the Kent case, for if it was true, there was an established motive for the crime for which Kent nas been convicted.

Editor Wood of Steele Ozone, however, wires the TRIBUNE Saturday that R. P. Allison says the dispatch in the morning papers about his having a policy on Mrs. Kent's life iB a falsehood and that be has received a letter from J. E.

Campbell this morning stating that tbe claim that he was authority for the statement in the dispatch is a lie. Allison wired this to Attorney Hildreth Saturday in swer to an inquiry from him regarding the matter. How the report originated is a question. The item appears)in the dan Pioneer of Friday, as follows: Jim Campbell is authority of the ment that Mr. R.

P. Allison of Steele has in his possession a $15,000 insurance policy on the life of Mrs. Kent, turned over to him by Kent. Allison is reported to have said that now Kent has had two trials there is no reason why he should keep the matter quiet any longer. The matter is an important one, and the promulgation of such a report, if false, is not at all creditable to the author.

Who Is the Liar? MANDAN, N. August above question heads an article in the Forum of Saturday, and really to read the article one would think that the Forum wants to make me out to be the fellow. It is a little remarkable that the Forum should be willing to brand a fellow laborer in the newspaper vineyard a liar on the say-so of such an unmitigated prevaricator as Hildreth. It may be journalism, but I don't believe it is good judgment. The item which appeared in the Pioneer read as follows: Jim Campbell is authority for the state ment that Mr.

R. P. Allison of Steele has in his possession a $15,000 insurance policy on the life of Mrs. Kent, turned over to him by Kent. Allison is reported to have said that now Kent has had two trials there is no reason why he should keep the matter quiet any longer.

Campbell denies, in a telegram to dreth, that he said it. Allison says he does not believe Campbell said it. dreth knows Campbell did not say it. have before me a number of affidavits, signed by justices of the peace, paper men, railroad conductors, and many other good newspaper men, who, on their solemn oaths, swear that Camp bell did tell them, or state in their ence, that he understood that Allison had the policy as above stated, and he went on in the presence of some of them stating just what the above item quotes him as saying. Now who is the liar? Wbat sort of a newspaper would the Pioneer be to learn that one of the torneys for the defendant in the Kent original and senior attorney in the telling this story around on the street, and Bay nothing about it to its readers? Tbis may be the Forum's idea of journalism, but I don't believe it.

I hope the Forum will not get unduly excited for fear that the editor of tbe Pioneer should get his pedal extremities too much mixed. The trouble with the whole business is that Campbell has associated with Hildreth so much that he is getting to be as big a prevaricator, and that is saying a great deal. We are all sorry for of us who have known him for years. Here he does not deny having spread the policy story. It may be that Allison has no such policy.

If he had he would not give it up at this juncture, in all probability. But if any lies have been started to injure Kent, or to do him any good, there are scores of good citizens of Mandan who will swear that Jim Campbell is tbe fellow that started them. Yours truly, R. M. TUTTLE.

The report in the Devils Lake papers the other day as to tbe finding of the skull of Jack Kenny on the street, calls to mind the fact that the only woman now confined at the state penitentiary is serving out a sentence for the killing of Kenny. This is Agnes Baldwin, who lived formerly just across from the town of Devils Dake. She was a quarterblood Indian, and Kenny was a sort of hanger on at her place. She became volved in a row with him one morning, and in the quarrel struck him with a heavy lamp, breaking his SKUII. wards, she cut his throat from ear to ear, and then carried the body down into the buLhes, where she cut the head pletely off the body, cut off both legs, and one arm, and buried tbe different parts of the corpse in a hole just back of her Bhack.

The crime was revealed by a second woman who was at the place the time the murder was committed, and an investigation revealed the trunk, bead and dissevered limbs of the dered man, and caused the arrest of the Baldwin woman, who was finally tenced to a term of seven years in tbe pen. She is now the only occupant of the female ward, and has been at the pen for several years, having about two more to serve. She is seldom seen by anyone but the attendants at the tion, and is now over 50 years of age. To Kill Noxious Weeds. Howard C.

Packer, an Emmons county boy, would kill weeds by electricity, and subjoins a plan which is respectfully ferred to the cactus commission: "It is a well known fact that eleotricity of high potential is as destructive to plant life as it is to animal life. I propose to have a machine built somewhat on the plan of a header, which would carry a dynamo for generating a current of high tial. This dynamo would receive its power from the two large wheels on which the machine would run. By means of a transformer the current would be raised to a potential of about 25,000 volts. In front of the machine wculd be a rod about twenty feet long, moving quite close to the ground.

One of the poles of the transformer would be nected with the earth through the wheel and the other would be connected with the long rod. Now, if the current was on, every living thing coming in oontact with the rod would be killed. The rent would destroy the" whole plant, cluding the roots, since the current would pass through the roots in order to reach the damp ground. This, I believe, is the only method by which French weed can be destroyed. The great vantage of this plan is that weeds could be destroyed before the seed was ripe." EXPLOSION AT DENVER Hotel Wrecked by an Explosion and Over a Dozen Persons Perish.

DENVER, August Gumry hotel on Lawrence street was wrecked by a rific explosion at 12:10 this morning, a battery of boilers in the basement posed to have blown up.
