The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1884-04-06
Captain KinZie Bates,

The Detroit Free Press pays tn g
worthy tribute to the late Captain
Kinz'e Bates, son of Gen. George G.
Bates, formerly of Salt Lake City:
Those who knew the late Msior
KinZie Bates well, would be slow to
believe that nobIer or more chiy-
alric spirit ever Blessed the world.
Were the "reminiscences of his coms
panions in arms attesting his manly
and generous qualities to be given
at length, they might constitute a
goOdrsized volume. His heart
seemed the abode of every wor nv
impulse.
To GO back to The records of his
valor and patriotism during the war
of the Union, would be to perform a
task not essential to the present
purpose. Those records, in
their exemplifications of CON.
stancy and fortitude, would
much resemble those relating to
thousands and tens OF thousands of
other gallant spirits. By touching
his subsequent military career and
his untimely passing away, a few
facts are worthy of note. The
memorable exploration of the Ye.~
lowstone river, a few years since,
involved a march of upwards of
200 miles during the hot season,
and all the officers OF like grade with
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1884-04-06

Major Bates were provided with
horses. He, however, persistently
refused to avail himself OF the fa-
cilities thus afforded, saying that
his men should be subjected to
no privation that he could not
share, and he carried out
this idea to the end, going on foot
through all the Businesses and along
all the declivities encountered 10 the
march through that wild region. No
doubt the toll of his brave boys
seemed lighter fl, N the fact OF Its
being shared by their commando,
while, very naturally, he would be
in all the better situation to give
one of them "a lift" when occasion
requi ed.
II is now quite positively asserted
that the Rev. Charles Wolfe, in his
well-known poem,
"THE BURIAL OF SIR JOHN MOORE,
drew upon his poetic fancy for most
or all OF the incidents that consu-
tute so much Of the charm OF that
beautiful effJrt. But even if those
inc dents had all transpired in riot
accordance with tue text of the
poem, they would have ben SUR
pasged in pathos and real dramatic
interest by those attending the
burial of Major Bates, which. as
the reader must well remember.
took place in Detroit few weeks
since. 1t was in this fair city that
his eyes first beheld The light. and
here, to-, at lies high noon. they
wers shrouded in the night of death.
1t was his dying request that his
body clad in his uniform should he
placed in the coffin with his hands
down at either side, as at r, st, in
military position; that his pail
bearers should be four privates of
his old company-I, of the First
United States Infantry-who were
to ride to ElmWoOd cemetery; that
flags and the regulation programme
Of music by the band should be die
pensed With, but that, in place
thereof, the bug'er should so Ind the
"Iaps" (''lights out') over his re-
mains as soon as the fin should be
lowered into the grave. Therequest
was carried out to the very
letter. When the Cfficia ing cler-
gyman had clos ed his prayer
the bugler raised his piece to his
lips. 1t was trying ordeal fer the
poor fellow, for as the scalding
tears welIed up from his heart
it seemed for q moment that Lis
allotted task must prove ia lure:
but very soon duty triumphed, as it
had so often dole before, and the
bugle pealed forth its clarion notes,
novel and startl ng accompani-
ment to the solemn rites observed
at the grave. The ruling passion
was indeed strong in death. The
bugler had been wi b him through
the many colored scenes Of "grim-
visaged war;" in the imretuous
charge, in the quiet Of the camp
fire, on the long and toilsome march,
and the dying warrior desired no
o. her requiem than that " ell-knOwn
bugle blast:

PROF. MORTHROP,

Minnesota State University.

He Finally Accepts the Presidency Of the
Minnesota State University..
Prof. Cyrus Northrop, of Yale, has accepted
the presidency of the Minnesota state universe
ty at Minneapolis. r. :. 5,t.%.25
The last week of February Regents Pillsbury,
Clark and Davis met at the Fifth Avenue hotel,
New York, and decided to soffer the presidency
OF the state university to Prof. Northrop.
President, now Professor, Folwell resigned
appear with the unfavorable situation in which
the university was placed. Fleeting rumors
early in the interval were to the effect that ex-
Senator Patterson Of New Hampshire was to
come to the head Of the institutional selection
that was not generally approved. 1t is under
stood that the selection of Prof. NOrt:lrop WAS
practically unanim with the board of regents.
Gov Pillsbury and Judge Clark went to New
Haven February 24th and formally offered the
position toProt. Northrop, who took the matter
under consideration. March 9th Prof. North
rop arrived in Minneapolis and spent week III
looking over the university and gaining an &C
quaintance with the situation. It was stated
that the salary offered was 81, 500, but that he
did not wish to give up salary of $1,000 at
Yale at time when he had just completed a
fine residence, to incur the expense attendant
on moving so far West During his visit here
a reception was given Prof. Northrop by Mr..
Charles A. Pillsbury, to which were invited the
Yale graduates and the prominent citizens Of
both cities, The impression at the time was
that the offer would not be accepted. Prof.
Northrop is forty-eight years old, is good
lawyer, brilliant orator, something of poll
tician, and has been professor Of rhetoric in
Yale college twenty years. For twelve years he
was collector of the port of New Haven.

, Bold Bismarck is said to be at length
alarmed for his personal safety. A Ca
BILE dispatch says that he has ordered
the postmasters throughout the empire
not to receive any registered letters in
tended for him. The postmasters have
no option about non registered letters,
but these the chancellor will hereafter
refuse to receive from the Berlin post
office, SO that every communication that
reaches him hereafter must come
through the official channels and run
the gauntlet of official inspection. Some
of the papers suggest that he has at last
become alarmed at the activity of the
Socialists and is afraid of being blown
up by mail. The chancellor says his
only object is to be rid Of the annoy
ance Of the pretty insults which are con-
stantly sent to him, generally in the
form of registered letters.

The Attorney Generals Decisions.

{ So
In response to a question of Charles n.
Hewitt, NJ D., secretary Of the state board OF
health, Attorney General Hahn yesterday rem
.dered an opinion to the effect that the state
board Of health has no power to enforce the
provisions Of the sections Of the statutes as to
the appointment OF election of local health boards
or as to the securing physician as q member
of said board. An Individual citizen has the
right to apply to the court for q mandamus to
enforce the election Of such boards. Mandsnns
is the proper remedy in such case Tic maxi
ing of the annual inspection and report can be
enforced in the same way,
To NJ B. Chadwick, comfy auditor of Steele
county, the attorney general writes that coun-
" auditor cannot pay bounty to any person
Tor killing wolf unless the claimant produces
the head Of the wolf with the cars and scalp
entire, and delivers it to the proper officer; no
promise or agreement can be substituted, and
to pay bounty without receiving such head and
scalp would be dereliction OF duty
To d. p Peterson, county attorney of Meek
or county, the attorney general writes that q
county treasurer, in all counties where the
valuation is less than $4,00O,000 can receive
but 81 200 in fees, and all excess thereof must
be paid into the revenue fund. The point
arose as to whether fees received on collection
on salesof school lands wore to be included in
the q, 200, and the attorney general rules that
they are. -

A dispatch from Sutherland, O'Brien county,
states that a number Of farmers from Central
and Eastern Iowa have arrived in that locality
and sqnatted on what is known as the overlap
ping lands of the Sioux City, St. Paul l. Omaha
and Milwaukee & st. Pau! railways. These
lands were never earned by the railroads and
were never patented by them. Thelate ligisla-
ture passed an act ceding them from the state,
which held them in trust to the general govern
ment in order that they might be opened to
actual settlers. There are about eighty-tive
thousand acres of land, which are now quite
valuable, and there will probably be quite =
rush Of claimants. Those already, upon the
ground say that they were advised by the gov
ernor and secretary of state that they could
hold the lands by improving and living upon
them. They are therefore putting up buildings

title and GUST them, retaining all improvements
