week, the occasion Of the formal open

of the twin cities were there. The bald

were out enmasse. The good natured
commercial traveller "centered in" fol
the occasion. The dignified state Off
Gals shook the official dust from theil
feet and hied themselves thither. Tn,
dudes gathered their thinness together
and congregated among the misses. The
elite of all sections of the State packed
their dummies and went with feetinI
step. The best of musicians poured fortl
their euphony. The supreme Gull
nary artists Of the city labored for tho
OCCASION. Everything first-class was pro
vided, and about eight hundred partici
pated In the festivities.

JUDGE KooN, of Minneapolis, passed
upon the constitutionality of the butter
inc law, passed by the State legislature
last winter, and decides the same to be
unconstitutional. The matter will I'M
doubtedly be taken before a higher
court, for more careful adjudication.
However the Supreme Court may de-
eide, they, or no other tribunal can
gainsay the fact that base adulteration
in many articles of TODD is in practice,
and should be summarily dealt with. Ii
has been more than once demonstrated,
scientifically, that butterine Or oleomar-
garine, is fully as foul an article of COLI
sumption as partly decOmposed meat,
and the law should he made cons:itu-
tIonal at the earliest opportunity.

j. j. Hills Plans.

The st. Paul Globe gives entire Gre
dence to the report of j. ]. Hills plans
for building city at Great Falls and for
developing the railroad system and mining
interests in this territory. It is believed
that Hills plans include railway exten-
sion from his roads in Dakota to Fort
Benton, an early connection between that
city and Helena, the establishment of
manufacturing industries at Great Falls,
working the Sand Coulee coal mines and
the production of coke, and engagement
in other mining enterprises. The Globe
says these plans will not be fully carried
out for some time but Mr.. Hill has gone
to New York to further his Montana
scheme. "Strength is given to this specu-
lation by the fact that this powerful syn
dicate is scripping large tracts Of land
about the Great Falls and Sand Coulee,
and securing valuable coal lands and min
eral properties"

The Cheyenne Reservation.

Washington dispatch: On Saturday
the commissioner of Indian affairs heard
an argument by George r. Milburn rela-
tive to the reopening for settlement of the
Cheyenne Indian reserve on the Rosebud
river, Mont. The commissioner took the
papers and promised careful consideration
and that the cases should be settled &C.
cording to law. Maj. J. X. Toole, who
is active in the interests of Montana as the
new delegate to congress, made an argu-
ment before the secretary of the Interior
against turning the Montana country over
to Indians.
