The entertainment given by the In dians Wednesday night wu largely attended 6y our beat citizens.

It wu not elegant some perform ances wo have seen, kut It was a almon'pure Indian arrangement, Just sucn have been in vogue with them since the morning stars ung together lo iheesst, and gave entire satisfaction to the audience, at many taw them for first time, aid moat of them for the last, at i they will soon cease to be. The Indians contemplate giving an exhibition in Lead City on Saturday nluM fThe masons finished tip, an! com-! pleted 'the foundation for the new school house last evening. It is witii-out exception the best Job of stone work we bave aeon In thia city. "The material wu all first' class, and the workmen understood their business. If the brick work isU good, snd we have every reason to believe it will be, the structure when completed will be a credit and ornament to our It occupies a commanding position," secure alike from storm and flood.

CaptWillard delivered at Galena Tuesday. 20,00 pounds of salt. At the sDrinirs. with the Lreaent apDlianoes Jirf reduction, 3.00D i pounds dar' is yTmanuftictured. When the 1 machinery ia put in position, that la now on the Tribune: Yesterday, about non.

a severe rain and hail storm occurred in the mountains in this vicinity, in aeveriiy equal to if not greater than tue previous storm of two months ago. Rain and bail descended in torrent, until the aueama Were smull ti versm less than twenty minutes. The South Fork of Gold Run was a foaming tor- ent within a lew minutes, carrying with it the bridge on Mill street, and tearing up tbe road badly. Both bridges an Main Gold Run were carried away, and tbe road waabed so that it will impassable tor several days. As the telephone wires are down, we have not yet heard of any damage in the valley.

It IS highly probable that nothing but rain fell in the farming districts, as we are 1,000 feet above tbe agricultural re gions. If do hail visited the ranches, the rain was ft blessing." Hand County Presa: HC. B. Barclay, of West Liberty, Iowa, passed through Mil)er to-day with a Carload of thirty-eight yearling, thoroghbred shorthorn heifers and twenty-eight yearling bulls of the same breed. Tbey were to be delivered to Clark Plum, of Spear-fish, perhaps the largest cattle firm in Dakota.

There are some 25,000 bead of cattle ranging in southwestern Dakota and southeastern Montana." The must have made Ift ca)cnUtloD. iinc9 date it would require, at any time, another cypher to come anywhere near the number. We can name two men-alone in Northern Dakota who have more than 25,000 bead of cattle. Charley Stephens came through from Pierre with Hart's bull train as a driver. Or.

tbe route he conceived tbe idea of going into the wholesale liquor business on his own hook, and having no capital in dollars, borrowed enough to atari him in buslneas from the ship, ment of Herrmann Trcber (arithoot their consent), which constituted the freight of the train. Tbe loss was dis covered as soon aa the train was un. loaded, and Charles becoming suspi clous, struck oat for tbe valley on Sun- day- Yesterday he was arrested at Sturgis, and to-day will come np and be given a chance to explain. Leon Menard, who lives on Wound ed Knee, aaya the, Indiana at Pine Ridge Agency have planted more cropa ibis season than ever before, and tbey doing; pUindldly, ar looking hflfc ter than any he has seen ainee left home. -Tbey have- planted but little ma.l grain, their attention being given to corn, potatoes and vegetables.

They will have an abundant supply of all these, and wil have pumpkins enough to feed all Dakota. "Aft election ia called for August 14, In Burleigh county, to vole on issuing $100,000 in bonds to repay tbe Bismarck citixena who subscribed tuthe capital location fund." Exchange, That bonus iund ia making heaps of trouble for the men who. volunteered It. If they fair in saddling It upon tbe county, their next move will bo to ask the territorial legislature to in demnify them, and Governor Ordway will probably advise it In bis message. 7 The Homeetake railroad ia now do- ing tbe biggest traffic it ever doae.

It ia run continuously with two seta of men, day and night shifts. Each shift makes four trips, crrrying in eight cars of wood or Its equivalent of mining timbers or lumber each trip. Sixty four enrs ft day, and if all wood it would be 830 cords. And (be beauty of it all la they bave an enermous quantity ot wood on had to haal from. Sunday's rain dona but little dam age in the city, outside of washing away Otlce Gilbert's lumber, Pat Early's draw bridge, Frank Norton's suspension promenade and Murphy's ford to tho stage barn.
