DAKOTA as ASCATE.

Dakota has been talking of the posi-
bilities and probabilities of becoming a
State for two or three years. No one
had the temerity to ask for admission at
once, but there was to be a gradual work
ing up of public sentiment until an
actual admission was secured. Suddenly
boom for Dakota as State has been
organized and is being actively pushed to
secure certain political advantages. 1t is
not that they care for the State, but they
desire the two votes in the Senate which
the admission would give.
1t is quite possible that Dakota NAV
slip into the Union during the next ses-
sion of Congress as political necessity.
The east is jealous of western supremacy.
and if the question came up purely on
the abstract issue of admitting State,
Dakota would knock in vain. By the
peculiar situation of affairs she seems
likely to be literally dragged into the
Union by main strength and awkwardness,
whether she wishes to come or not. 1t
is doubtful whether the majority of the
people of Dakota desire admission at
present. The territory is unwieldy, and
they prefer to secure Its division. AS q
territory it is easily divided. as State il
will be substantially impossible. Hence
this sudden boom does not find such "a

Pillsbury. Should Rise and Explain.
[Chicago Times.]


The Thanksgiving proclamation of Cover
nor Pillsbury, of Minnesota, is not happily
worded "The year," he says, "has been
crowded with eventful experiences. It has ex-
hiblted increased activity and exceptional pros
perity in all branches of industry. It has af-
forded continuance of peace and plenty, and
exemption from general pestilence. 1t has
witnessed the tragic death of the nations
chosen ruler, and the touching sympathy and
sorrow of civilized world in our national
bereavement It has seen great people
chastened by calamity, and the dire event over
ruled by merclful providence for the nations
good.' How the dire event was overruled
for the nations good the governor has not
consented to explain. He has added, oddly
enough: "Surely, our people never had
greater cause for fervent Thanksgiving"
Of course the governor dosen't mean thanks
giving for ''the tragic death of the nations
chosen ruler" but what does he mean? He
seems to be no more fortunate in his phrase
ology than the clergyman who invariably
closed his homilies with the formula: "And
if you are good you will go to heaven, and if
you are bad you will 60 to hell-a blessing /
wish you ALL" The governor is not so wide
of the mark when he assigns as reason for
thanksgiving 1.-THE rescue of our beloved state
from threatened loss of honor, and the happy
removal of the financial stain which had long
dimmed her reputation Whether or not
Minnesota owed that debt, it is well rid of the
interminable discussion concerning it, and the
doubt of the states honor engendered
thereby.

Death of Mrs. Bartlett Presley

Mrs. Mary E., wife of Bartlett Presley,
Esq, died at her residence, No. 217, East
Eighth street, at o'clo OK last evening. Mrs.
Presley has been in quite ill health for eight
months, and oriover four months has been
confined to her house, but the immediate
cause of her death was bronchial pneumonia.
Mrs. Presley was native of Canada, but her
parents removed to Indiana while she was
quite young. Some thlrty-eight years ago
she was married at st. Louis to Mr. Presley.
They lived for a time at Galena, ILL.,, and IN
1S49 removed to st. Paul, where they have
since resided. Mrs. Presley was a large
hearted, charitable lady, and her good deeds
have endeared her to many who will mourn
her death as if it was a personal affection.
She was especially attentive to the welfare of
the firemen while the department was vol
unteer organization, and whenever fire called
the tiremen within a reasonable distance of
her residence she was ready with refreshments
no matter how unreasonable the weather
might be. Her great interest in the depart
ment led the firemen to elect her an honorary
member, the only case where such an honor
has been conferred.
Mr.. Presley will have the warm sympathy
of large circle in his affection, who, as al
ready stated, will also feel her death as be-
reayement of their own.

Literary Note.

With its next number Harper's Young PEG.
pile begins its third volume. The two years OF
this periodicals growth have lifted it from a
vigorous infancy to robust youth. The aim
of its publishers has been to make Harper's
Young People attractive without being sensa-
tional, and to this end they have secured the
services of high class of writers and artists.
This fact has been recognized by the Chautau-
qua ''Young Peoples Union," which has in.
cluded this illustrated weekly among the
works which the members of the Union are
required to read. The author of s'Toby Tyler
will contribute to the new volume of Harper's
Young People story called "Mr. Stubbs's
Brother" The boys and girls who have read
"Toby Tyler" need not be told who "Mr.
Stubs is, and they are sure to welcome his

annual Statement of the Oregon RoiI1ray
and Navigation Company.

President Willard, of the Oregon Railway
and Navigation company, has just issued his
annual report to the stockholders. As shown
in the report, the company has during the
past year completed $50 miles of standard
gauge road, and before January next Mr..
Willard expects that fully 300 miles of new
road will be completed and in active opera.
ton There has been constructed 1,464 feet
of Howe truss and II 1868 feet of treslle, and
the large bridge over Snake river, two miles
below Texas ferry, representing an aggre.
gate length of 1,4l5 feet, is now In pro.
cess of construction. All questions of right
of way have been settled at comparatively
small cost to the company, and with
scarcely any litigation. The right of way
across the Umatilla Indian Reservation, on
the Baker City line, was amicably settled at
a council, by an agreement on the part o. the
company to pay the Indians $3.50 per acre for
all wild lands, and $3.50 per acre for Guilt
waited lands, necessary for the roadway
and depot grounds, located within the
reservation, the whole cost of which will be
5000. When all deliveries shall have been
made, under existing contracts, the railroad
equipment Of the company, shall consist OF
fifty-one locomotives, eighteen passenger
cars, four Pullman sleeping cars, two bag
gage cars, two combined baggage, mail, and
Express cars, 600 covered freight cars, 500
fat cars, 100 stock cars, and forty hand cars.
There was expended during the year for rail-
road construction, $4,247, 46S; for other con-
structions, $240, 1854; for railroad equipment,
$296, 55S; and for other equipment, $113,6S0.
The several lines operated by this company
represent total of sol miles. The total re-
ceipts from all sources, during the year, were
SO 10000; total disbursements, S8,014 1860.
The traffic gross earnings were 50, 730,245; its
operating expenses, Including taxes, $685.
1888; showing the net earnings to be $685.
861. For 1S79-'sO the corresponding results
were: Gross earnings, $2,989, 701; operating
expenses, 81 1882, AL; net earnings. 81 $751;
$50. Against IA, 817 passengers and 379, 844
tons of freight carried in 1879-'S0, there
were carried in 18S0-'81, 167,7S7 passer-
gers and 623, 025 tons of freight, showing an
increase of 1870 passengers and 243, 181 tons
of freight. the report enlarges somewhat
on the consolidation recently effected with
the Northern Pacific railroad, and the trans
fer of the controlling power over both cor
porations to third corporation-the Oregon
d Transcontinental company. having IN au-
thorized capital of $5O,OOO.0 900. MIR. Willard
expresses the conviction that the large pro-
prietary interest of this company in the other
companies is the best guarantee to the latter
that its power will only be exercised to pro-
mote their Legitimate development to the
fullest extent; or, in other words, that the
new company can only promote it's own in
terest, as great holder of Oregon Railway &
Navigation and Northern Pacific stocks, by
taking the best care of every other stock
holder in both companies.

4 Hife Turned Out of Doors.

An expressman named Chisslom, who lives
in South Minneapolis, is vainly searching for
his better half. It seems that he is in the bad

to his surprise she complied. Barefooted and
half clad she went out from his door into the
cold frosty night, leaving behind four limo
cent children to the wrath of the dissolute
and irate sire. Yesterday, after having slept
off the effects of his cups, he repen'ed his
cruelty and instituted search for the wife
whom he had vowed to love, cherish and pro

his roof. Ali in vain. Last evening he had
learned no tidings of her. Whether she, had
in sheer desperation committed rash act, or
had sought kindly shelter beneath the roof of
friend, yet remains mystery.

Accident to Mr.. L. M Rumsey.

the following account of an accident to a
gentleman who has spent several summers in
St. Paul and vicinity, having left here the last

Mr.. L. M. Rumsey, an old and influential
citizen of st. Louis, received serious if not
fatal injuries, about 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, while passing from his mandatory
and warehouse through the alley leading to
and past the elevator of Curtis & Co.'S and
Kingsland & Ferguson's establishments on
Second street. Whether the elevator fell on
him or whether he struck his head against it.
no one seems to know. He was picked up
few minutes after in fainting condition, but
was still conscious. When he Was removed to
his store across the street he was found to be
unable to sit up, and, as it waa suspected
that his spine was injured, an ambulance was
sent for and he was taken to his home at
No. Q FOL Morgan street. DR.. Nidelet who
with other physicians, held consultation on
him, consider his injuries of very dangerous
character, but think he may recover.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-News is received here
that on Friday night the bed of Prairie creek

at Streator, this state. The bed of the stream
at the point which broke was made, and is
only eight or nine inches above q
bed of some twenty Eight feet of
quicksand, and the rains of Friday caused
pressure enough to break through the
bed of quicksand into the mine. The hole
thus made is about 200 by 400 feet. Only four
men were working in the mine when the
break occurred, and all of them and most of all
the implements and all but two
of the mules employed in the shaft
were gotten out. Loss to the company is es-
tlmated at 100000. 1t require four of five
weeks to pump out the mine and repair the
break. The mine is the largest soft coal mine
