McPherson County Bounty on Gopher Tails Draws Attention
From Eureka reports a two cent bounty was paid on 200000 gopher tails in McPherson County last month, totaling 84000 dollars, with no noticeable decline in pests according to farmers. The piece also notes postwar army canteen abolition heightening drunkenness and disorder, predicts a fast repeal, and praises President McKinley’s Southern reception as party lines blur. It discusses American missionaries in China, Boxer Rebellion context, and assigns blame to European concessions for Chinese turmoil rather than missionaries, drawing parallels to U S incidents.

City employment scarce as farmers call for rural labor
The Valley City Alliance reports a shortage of men willing to work in the country.

Peculiar Law Baffles Missouri Slope Horse Thieves
The Jamestown Alert reports a strange legislature measure restricting cross county stock movement in Missouri Slope. It bans shipping or driving stock across county lines without a permit from the local stock inspector, a rule deemed absurd. It would force a Stutsman county man to seek multiple permits to visit relatives in Foster Kidder Barnes LaMoure and return home, a claim the paper says will be ignored.
