MRS. BLAINE AT THE WHITE
HOUSE.
The Event and Sensation Of Miss
cleveland's Reception.


The event and sensation of Miss
CleyelandPs reception on Saturday af-
ternoon was the call Of Mrs. Blaine.
The fact that Mr.. Blaine had called
OH the President the day before
brought strange smiles to peoples
faces, and all who read the campaign
literature wondered how either one
could consent to speak tc such a man
as their own newspapers and orators
had represented the other to be. Mr..
Blaine made his call quietly and at
an hour when no one else was likely
TO be at the White House, but Mrs.
Blaine came in in the thick of a
crowded reception and Immediately
centered all eyes upon her and raised
people on tip-toe with astonishment
at the scene. She advanced straight
toward Miss Cleveland. was present.
ed to her and to Mrs. lIoyt, and with
few words passed on. She declined
the invitation to go back of the line
TO the blue parlor to chat with the
court circle and went Immediately
out and to her carriage. She wore
the stern and lofty air of one who
does solemn duty, and the whole
two-minute act held the audience
breathless. When she had disap-
peared through the doorway, each
woman looked at her bewildered
neighbor and asked, "What does it
mean?"
The Democrats took it jubilantly
as a sign that Mrs. Blaine had "come
down." as they expressed it; others
believed that Mr.. Blame had used
extraordinary eloquence to bring it
about, and the third explanation was
that the call was made chiefly as q
taunt to President Arthur and his
sister, to whom she had not spoken
since November. Mr.. Blaine's hostil-
ity to President Arthur all winter
was expressed many times, but the
elimination was at dinner given by
the Austrian Minister. The favors
were portraits ofthe Emperor of Aus
tria and President Arthur, with
clusters of flowers attached by rib
bons. Fate put an Arthur picture at
Mrs. Blaine's plate, and she immed-
lately crumpled it in her hands, tore
it and threw it under the table. AT
ter dinner the host, Mr.. Blaine and
one other guest went back to the
room to rescue the torn picture. The
third one, who went at the instance
of Mrs. Don Cameron, reached the
place first, and twas left for him to
carry it back to that stanch and beau.

istration. There are rumors in the
air now that the Blaines will give q
dinner to the Clevelands, and that
the courtesy will be returned in kind
and the people appreciate that won
ders never cease and motives are past
finding out.

A Watch Fit for a King.

Kalakana, King of the Sandwich
Islands, has ordered a massive gold
chronograpl of elegant design and
elaborate finish, with stop-attach-
ment and three dials, giving the
time Of day, recording the minutes,
seconds and fractions of seconds.
The machinery of such a watch is
complicated, yet not as much as that
of the human syst"m. Take your
watch TO the matchmaker when it is
out of repair; but restore the debili-
tated system with Browns Iron
Biitcrs, the never failing remedy
which cures dyspepsia, indigestion,
weakness, etc.

It is alleged that information has been
received at Fargo from Helena, Mon.
tana, to the effect that party of capi.
talists are about to depart for Washing
ton with o new division scheme. They
propose to divide Dakota on the Miss.
ouri river and Montana north and south
at the east end of the 8ozeman tunnel,
that portion of Dakota east of the Miss.
ouri river to be one state, while that
west OF the river and the eastern part of
Montana is to be another. The chances
are ten to nothing that no such informa
tion was ever received at Fargo from
Helena. Fargo possesses a genius who
constructs schemes for the diversion of
the people in which truth is minus
quantity. He is an admission as a
whole schemer and as his favorite
idea is not gaining ground
rapidly the construction of
scare story is his latest resort
The romancer says further:
The capitalists have any amount Of
money and are determined to push this
new scheme to successful determine
ton. 1t will, though, undoubtedly be
kicked against in many quarters, and
they may have overestimated theil
power.
The old northern idea that money
will purchase anything and everything
in the way OF legislation still prevails.

General Grants Coffin

New York, July 27-Gsn. Grants
coffin arrived at Undertaken Merritt's
place in this city at 6 o'clock this morn
ing and was at once placed upon tenn
porary catafaIque in the center of the
room. The coffin is known to the trade
as ''style f" state casket, cloth covered,
metallic 1t is six feet long, banded with
solid silver frames. The metallic part,
which is inside the red-covered shell, is
of hlghly-polished copper one.eighth of
an inch thick. The top is of French
plate beveled glass, open full length.
The inside of the coffin is lined with light
cream satin, beautifully tufted, with an
elegant pillow, on which, in raised letters
on an embroidered ribbon, are the in-
itials ~. s. IT," The handles are
solid silver, especially designed for the
coffin. The outside box is of imported
cedar, highly polished and decorated
with handsome mountings, and is lined
heavily with lead. The cedar portion is
perfectly air, tight, and practically in
destructible. The fear that an attempt
might be made at some time by ghouls
to remove the generals remains from
his coffin has induced the family to
adopt unsual precautions. A Bessemer
steel burial case has been ordered which
will be air-water and burglar.proof. II
will be oval in shape, with q
hinged door on the end for the reception
OF the casket. As soon as
the news spread that the coffin had ar
rived great crowd gathered in front OF
the establishment, and way into the
night crowds passed before it. The peo.
pie who passed the coffin were of no par
ticular class. There were ladies in rich
dresses and poor women in more humble
garb; men attired in fashionabIy Gu,
clothes, followed with saddened faces
coatless workmen. At night there was
great jam around the establishment
and thousands were unable to gain ad
mission. The coffin will be exhibited
tomorrow again, and will be taken tc
Mount McGregor tomorrow night OF
Wednesday morning.

Milwaukee, July 29-Reports from
towns in southern Wisconsin show that
last nights w1ndstorm passed nearly
across the state, doing damage of minor
importance in nearly all the southern
tier of counties. The greatest loss will
come to farmers from injury to grain, but
as to the extent of the injury nothing
tonight can be learned. In Grant
county number of small houses were
blown down and others unroofed at
Mentfort and villages in the eastern
portion of the county. The principal
damage reported from Iowa county is at
Mineral Piont, where the roof of
the city hall was demolished, lumber
yards scattered and number of small
barns razed. The wind was particularly
fierce IN Walworth county. Crops suf-
fered badly. At Lake Geneva a pleas.
ure steam yatch owned by s. W. Aller-
ton, of Chicago, and valued at $4,000,
had her deck and cabin blown off, apd
torn from her anchorage and sunk.
Smaller crafts were scattered in every
direction. It is possible that damages
IN some places are more serious than is
now known, as the working of the tele-
graph wires has been greatly interfered
with by heav yrains throughout the state
to-day, and reports are slow coming in.
Chicago, July ga terrible wind and
rain storm, accompanied by lightning,
is raging throughout Minnesota to-day,
At three o'clock all the telegraph wires
between CHICAGO and st. Paul have
ceased working, so that the damage and
extent OF the storm circuit is rot known.
St. Paul, July 29-In frightful cleo
trio storm to-day three houses were
struck by lightning and badly damaged.
Michael Brizzler was struck in the head
by bolt instantly killing him. Trees
were struck in various parts of the city
and demolished.

If Dakota is not divided or admitted
before the next session of the legislature
the capital will be removed from Bis
marek. That is as certain as anything
in the future can be.-Aterandrld Herald.
There is nothing more certain to prove
true than this prediction. BY the time
another legislature convenes Dakota will
possess governor who will be in accord
with the people and will carry out the
desires of the majority, ss expressed
through the votes of their representa-
tives in the legislature. Last winter
when the capital removal project was az
it's height, Bismarck and its northern
allies announced themselves fully con-
verted to the proposition to divide Da-
kota on the line Of the forty-sixth par
allel. A petition praying for the pas
sage of memorial asking congress to
make the desired division was signed by
nearly all the people of Bismarck and
the memorial passed the legislature by
unanimous vote. As soon as the legis.
lature had adjourned and the danger
which threatened the capital was re.
moved by that ADJOURN ment, Bismarck
and its northern allies went
back on all their promises
and openly ignored the compact en-
tered into under the fear of calamity.
If the north persists in obstructing the
division movement it is probable that
Dakota will remain as one territory
long enough for another legislature TO
perform retrlbutive work. 1t can be
written down as certainty that If an.
other legislature for the whole of Da.
kota convenes at Bismarck, one of it's
first acts will be the removal of the seat
of government to some south Dakote
town. The next legislature will be
elected upon that issue. and the repre-.
sentatives from the south will take theil
seats under instructions to put the capi.
tai where it will be accessible to the
greatest number of people.
