AT the annual convention Of the
Protestant Episcopal church at Omaha,
Bishop Clarkson announced that it is
his intention to ask the house of bish-
ops to relieve him Of the oversight Of

sary for the work of the church in this
jurisdiction that there should be Il resi-
dent bishop here.

Press and Dakotaian: It's said that
an ex-chicf justice of Dakota had an
argument the other morning with the
Merchants hotel porter and that when
the conversation closed the eN-chief JUS
ticc was lying ut the Bottom of the pile
with a bunch of fingers threatening the
front and tlanks of his nasal proturbe-
rance. People who look too lingeringly
upon the wine when it is red and the
lager beer when it foams are liable to
encounter such experiences.

Yankton Press and Dakotaian: The
plaintiffs counsel in the quo aDarra,ato
case of the people against the capital
commission have entered notice of
trial at the special term of the Yank-
ton county district court which begins
on the End of July, the day after the
commission completes it's locating la
bors if it uses all the time allowed it.
Had it been possible to have get the
case before the court at an earlier date
it would have been done, but the de
PENDANTS are allowed Il certain length
of time for preparation and as they
took all the law permitted them, the
case was necessarily delayed until the
July term. The papers in the case call
upon the commission to appear and
show by what authority they are acting
in the capacity of capital locators. This
action was instituted to test the consti,
tutionality of the capital commission
and their right, under tke organic act,
to fix the location of Dakota's capital.

Although the postoflicc department
has advertised for proposals for fur
furnishing the "postal notes autho-
riZed by congress at it's last session, the
use Of these notes is not expected to be-
gin until the 1st of next October. These
notes are expected to take the place of
the former fractional currency and
drafts under the sum Of five dollars, and
will, it is believed, be n very great
convenience to the public as well as to
all publishers. BY going to the post
office and paying three cents any person
can obtain a postal note for any sum
under five dollars, which notes can be
sent in letters through the mails. 1t is
expected that these notes will enter in
to general circulation rs money, al
though the fact that the government
limits the time when they can be re-
deemed ,yy;;,l X; restrict their use and pre-
vent them from taking q place with
money issued by the government.

THE PUBLIC LAND LAWS.


How to Secure the Benefits Thereof.
None of the lands of Dakota have
ever been offered at public sale, all hav-
ing been reserved for homestead, pre-
emption and timber claims on account
of their agricultural value and because
this system is more in accordance with
the interests of the masses and not for
spectators. as under the public sale
system. Sioux half-breed scrip can be
used to purchase any surveyed land, but
