The postofice department has issued
an order prohibiting postmasters from
resigning their offices under the present
administration, except for very impor-
tant reasons Hundreds of postmasters
have sent in their designations lately,
considerably embarrassing the postal de.
partment. To protect the service from
embarrassment an order wos issued as
stated above, and it came just in time
to capture Postmaster Jacobus, of

Cattle and Fish.
N- M H

Besides being one of the finest stock
countries in the world, the Mouse river
is prolific range for pickerel, in witness
whereof Messrs. Prouty & Richardson
yesterday received by express a box of
fine fish sent to Devils Lake from their
stock rancho, by the man in charge of
the stock. In connection it may be men
toned that while in the south and south
west many thousands of cattle persisted
during the recent Northers, not a head
has been reported lost thus far in the
entire Mouse river region.

The Craze

The present skating craze is pretty
we'll illustrated by the following, highly
colored though it is, which we find in an
exchange:
A man by the name of Brown left a
village in this state about two years ago.
Last week he returned, and as he was
strolling down the streets of his native
village he met a farmer by the name of
Smith, who was not prosperous when
he left, and livedjust outside the village.
Brown was surprised to see the granger
attired in a dress suit, with a silk hat
and a hig diamond pin blazing on his
shirt front, and he inquired:
"Been to a funeral today"
"Why, bless you, no."
"Farming~
"Well I should say not. I am running
a roller skating rink down here"
"Where is your son Jim?"
"Oh, he is running a rink in H"

"Pshaw! Where's Aunt Sally Bacon

why, dang it all, they are travelling
around visiting Kinks doing the old man

"Say, Smith, what became of your

"Darned if the dog didn't get the

The Inaugural Ball.
Washiugton Special

: isSy III .--."H
Some idea Of the size of the pension
building, where the biggest inaugural
bali ever. given in this country will be
held, on March 4, may be got from the
fact that St. Peters, at Rome, only holds
about $4,000 persons, while the pension
building will hold about $1,000. Just
now it is a wilderness Of scaffolding, but
order is coming out of chaos as if by
magic. On Monday the canvas roof
was put on. 1t is like a double A tent,
with three great roof trees to support it,
besides an ingenious continuance to hold
it. in place. No such ball room was ever
dreamed of as that of the great court
yard rooted over. 1t is surrounded by
large balconies, supported by IA
pillars. The space under these balco-
MES mukes. a magnificent promenade.
The president will enter the room by
the north door, which will be drapcd
with crimson silk curtains. The oppo-
site door will be concealed by a gigantic
mirror. These entrances are really
carriageways, 50 their size may be i'm
agined. The decorations will be of the
most expensive material. The New
York contractors have insured the dec
orations for $4,000. The balconies will
be hung with dark red velvet, spangled
with gold. Each of the IA pillars will
be hung with silk flags, while beneath
the balconies will be shields embroidered
with the coats of arms of the different
states and territories, and hung with
silk flags, tipped with silver spear
points. The botanical gardens, the
agricultural department and the white
house will furnish unlimited palms and
ferns. President Cleveland will return
to the custom of Washington and
Jefferson and stand on a dias during the
opening ceremonies of the ball. BY his
side will be a chair made OF
flowers, such as ex-senator Tabor
was married under. Every bare spot
on the wall will be covered with
bunting, and the eight great pillars,
reaching from floor to roof, will be cover.

electric light will be freely employed,
