was discovered where the bullet had made its
exit and lodged under the scalp.
No other wounds or bruises we're discovered,

finger nail.
The suspected murderer is now confined in

The ceremony of laying this corner stone
is one of high antiquity. And when Joshua
led Israel into Canaan, he set up twelve stones
on the banks of the Jordan, to commemorate
the miraculous passage Of the twelve tribes Of
Israel, and he commanded all Israel, saying,
When vour children shall ask their fathers

In our American ycrnacular, this is termed n new

most minds it seems to afford but barren field
for historical inquiry or estgation. 1t lis SUP

nothing, as Minnesotians, to look back to and in

1t is my purpose briefly to show how mistaken
arc those who imagine thus, and to give you IL
passing glance at the extensive field for research
which is opened up before this society. e.
In the order of creation, Minnesota is as old
as the garden of Eden itself. We have here !.
vast region, which has supported an animated
existence since the day that God spoke the earth
into being and gave man &c dominion over the
fish of the sea, the fowls of the air, and over
every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
The Creator has supplied this vast region with
all that was necessary to sustain and support
this animated existence. In all her varied
forms Of beauty a:iI of life, nature has
clothed these plains and hills, and without Gull
turc the earth has annually yielded to its crea-
lures the means of subsistence. Upon our rocks
is marked with an inlelible stamp the lapse
of time and the chanseful history of the created
universe. In all the departments Of natural his

But Ike another view: An unknown race has
had dominion here. In the by-sone ages of this
world, when time itself WAS young, another race
has here lived and died and left memorials of
their presence. The traditions Of the red man
give us no information Of their history and fate.
Think of those upon whose rest we tralnplc.
