Attorney Generals Decision.

Attorney General Hahn in answer to an
inquiry from the treasurer of Freeborn
county, replies that he cannot safely post
pone the collection of property taxes after
the LIST of June, as on that day he is re-
CURED by law to make return to the county
auditor of the amount of taxes uncollected
Therefore he must make every effort to
collect these taxes within the legally pre-
scribe time; from May to June L.
In reply to the auditor of Goodhue coun-
ty, making inquiry regarding taxing
railroad land purchases, he decides: That
when railroad has purchased land be-
tween May and Dec. 1, from third par
ties. said railroad is subject to the lien the
statute gives on the property and must
pay taxes assessed thereon before purchase.
In such case there is no exemption of rail-
road property from exemption under the
law.
In reply to inquiries of the treasurer of
Grant county, it is held that when per-
sonal property which has been assessed is
sold by levy to bona fde purchaser, the
treasurer cannot resell the same to collect
said taxes thereon.

lation for the members of the Congrega-
tional club their wives and invited friends.

preciated. In the evening the public serv-

the mother church in Minneapolis, remin-
iscenes of early days, memories of the
passionate in st. Paul, the Plymouth pulpit

The Breach Healed.

CHICAGO, May 21.-At meeting of the
general freight agents of the lines belong
ing to the East Bound pool this afternoon,
long step was taken toward healing the
breach between the roads and board Of
trade. A resolution was passed that the
board of trade be permitted to appoint any
man it may see fit to attend at the COM
pany's scales to certify to the correctness
of weights. In this, the roads are released
from the position that such supervising
weigher should not be member of the
uoard. The roads also agree to resume
Furnishing the secretary of the board daily
a statement of shipments of -four. grain
and provisions. The roads, however, de-
cline to be represented on the board until
the latter body shall concede arbitration
between its members and the trunk lines,
as a voluntary matter on both sides, by
changing its rules so that the board of ar
bitrauon shall not necessarily be COM
posed entirely of board of trade men.

Northern Pacific Headquarters.


The building to be used as the Northern
Pacific headquarters is rapidly approach
ing completion. Within six weeks at the
outside the approach will have been &C
complished and the building occupied
from turret to foundation stone. The ne
cessity for enlarged accommodations was
fully demonstrated upward of two years
ago, and in May, 1881, ground was broken
and the erection of the present imposing
structure was commenced upon the plans
furnished by B. L. Gilbert, distinguished
architect of New York city. During the
summer of 1881, the foundations were
laid after the experience of
considerable difficulty, and the
basement of the premises completed
with the exception of laying the water
table. Through the winter of 1872, work
was suspended, to be resumed in the
month of April of the latter year, since
when the labors thereon have been con-
tinuous and uninterrupted. The building
fronts eighty-six feet on Broadway with a
depth of 80 feet to Pine street and is
eighty-six feet in height from basement
floor to roof. The basement is to
occupyl by the express and land de-
partments, comprehending ten rooms
including the private offices of
each. The first floor is to be used
for the general freight and passenger Off
ces, and branch of the land department,
which latter is also to be continued to the
second story. The offices of the general
manager, superintendent of transporta-
ton and counsel will be
contained on the second floor; the next
story being appro priated to the occupation
of the car accountant, superintendent of
machinery, treasurer, and engineers de-
partments, while the fourth story is devoted
exclusively to the use of the auditing de-
partment. The building is of brick, thor
oughly lighted and heated, and as abso-
lutely fire proof as science, skill and ex-
pense can make it. The floors are of
marble and oak, the stairways of iron, and
everything that taste can suggest to render
the premises what they are universally
esteemed to be, the most ornate and hand
some of any of similar character west of
Chicago. The Offices will be finished in
oak and hard woods, the work of the Dohn
Manufacturing company of Winona, easy
of access on the upper floors by an
improved Henry elevator, and will be
furnished in a manner both tasteful and
comfortable. Upon its final completion
about the first of July proximo, the COM
pany can be congratulated upon its desir-
able change of base, and the city on the
possession of a corporation, the enterprise
of which is nowhere more admirably ex-
pressed.

or will sell to the Milwaukee its small strip
of road running between these towns. The
Wisconsin Central will, Dame Rumor further

The Quarter Centennial Hymn Of Ply
mouth Church.
BY KATE W. NICHOLS

O thou unchanging One, to whom
The rolling centuries flight
Seems but as yesterday when past,
Or watch of fleeing night,
We gather up the hopes and fears,
The tasks so incomplete,
And bring the work Of all these Years
To lay it at thy feet.
These years that seem 50 short to Thee
Are freighted with our life.
They bear our sins, our joys, our grief,
Temptations, prayers and strife,
In them new feet have trod life's path
New souls of Thee been blest,
And In thy peace our best beloved
Have entered into rest.
We thank Thee for the gracious hand
Which led us all the way.
And from Que feeble, praying band
Have gathered four this day.
But more we thank Thee for our faith
In Christ, our risen Lord,
And that mistaken we receive
The sureties Of thy word.
We ask one gift for this dear Church,
Here may thy presence shine,
And be the source of all our power,
Not human, but divine.
And howsoe'er we fail on earth,
Grant none of US may fail
at last to reach the heavenly shore,
Beyond the hiding veil.

The tender blue-eyed distance fills.

Whose midnight pillow wildly rocks,
On raging seas OF business blocks,
And booming, looming corner lots.

Who've sought for newer fresher homes.

And nestle as III days of yOre

Ye meek-eyed Marys linger near,

And loving John with raptured face,

Here's the love apple all may eat,
Let milk and honey liquid flow

Since closes with this natal day

Unseen they lass your open door,
Unheard they cross the sOundless floor
And I'LL each vacant scat once more.

With eighty years, of MINISTRIES.

They cry, LO ours, once wet with tears
And heavy with their weight of fears
Bear We the cross we have laid down,
Nor falter though misfortunes frown,
Take up your cross and win your crown.
