Acted Upon.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The house COM
mittee OH pensions has reported in favor of
granting pension to Capt. Jacob Mix of
Brown county, Minnesota. In the report
they say:
The claimant was captain of a company
called out by the governor of Minnesota dur
ing the Sioux Indian outbreak and massacre
in 1862, when he was wounded in the hand and
arm and lost its use on account of said wound.
The legislature of the state passed the follow
ing resolution: That our senators and repre-
sentatives in congress are hereby requested to
obtain special act of congress granting a
captains pension to said Jacob Mix, or such
other relief as his condition demands; APP
proved Feb. 3 1881. The claimant was granted
a pension by act of congress approved July
%, 1882, with the rank of captain, at the rate
of one-third disability. In accordance with
said act, claimant is now drawing pension
of S66.63 per month. Owing to the act re-
ferred to, the claimant is barred from the re-
lief intended, and cannot be rated in accord
ance with his disability. The committee there

Important Bills TO Come From the

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Congressman
Nelson is looking with a good deal of inter-
est for the arrival of the 27th and Goth of
the present month.
1--WE have those days set aside for our In
dian affairs committee" he said to u GLOBE
correspondent, land L think we should get
action then on a number of bills of interest
to Minnesota and Dakota.
''What are the important ones?''
swell, perhaps the most important one is
the bill for opening the Sioux reservation. 1t
is the Dawes bill you know, and has already
passed the senate. -
what are its prospects in the house, do
you think?''
Every good. I think we shall be able to
pass it if we can get it fairly before the
house and get a chance to explain it's pro-
visions thoroughly
''What are your other bills to come up on
that OccasIon?'
lone of them, and probably one of the
most important to our section, is the bill
granting the right OF way through Indian
lands in Montana to railroads. 1t is general
bill, giving all railroads right to construct
their lines through reservations on the same
terms given in individual cases, leaving the
details of argument regarding the value of
depot sites, ETC., to the Indians. This will be
the important measure, as it will open new
lines to the West and open new territory to
the business of our state and section

FERGUS FALLS, May 4.-The annual meet
ing of the Otter Tail County Alliance has been
fixed for the 9Th of June. The encampment
of the G. A. r. has been arranged for the fol-
lowing week at Battle Lake. Many of the al
lance members are DESTROYS of having the
meeting postponed one week so they can at
tend the encampment at the same time, and
have asked President Erhard to postpone the
meeting, which he refuses to do unless the al
liances wish it done. .Albertus Wright Catlin
has received notice of his recommendation
for the naval appointment, and will leave for
Annapolis next Sunday evening to take the
preliminary examination. -. j. L. Howard, of
Pelican Rapids, has sold his photograph

A number of Fergus bicyclists are intending
to attend the meeting of the Northwest bicy-
Gle riders to be held at Alexandria in June,
and are agitating the question Of making the
run on their bicycles. Ten saloonmen have
applied for license for the ensuing year,
which gives S., 900 into the city treasury.
One or two more will probably send in appli-
cations. The committee Of the board of

company are intending to monopolize the
beer trade in Pipestone during the coming
year, and have paid the licenses Of five out
of the six saloons here, with the understand
ing that they use or sell no beer but the Sioux
Falls beer. As the license here is $500, it is
thought by most citizens that they will have
to dispose of a large quantity of beer to get
$1,000 out of it to pay for licenses. This was
caused by rivalry here between that COM
pany and the Michel Lacrosse Brewing COM
pany.

KISSES BY MAIL.

A young postmaster of village post
Office was hard at work, when a gentle
tap was heard upon the door and in step
ped bashful maiden of sixteen, with a
money order wich she desired cashed.
She handed it, with bashful smile, to
the official, who, after closely examiring
it, gave her the money it called for. At
the same time he asked her If she had read
what was written on the margin Of the
order
"No, have not" she replied, " for
cannot make it out. Will you please read
it for me p
The young postmaster read as follows ::
81 send you three dollars and dozen
kisses"
Glancing at the bashful girl. he said:
"Now, | have paid you the money, and
| suppose you want the kisses"
Yes" she said, if he has sent me any
kisses, | want them, too"
s'lt is hardly necessary to say that the
balance of the order was promptly paid,
and in scientific manner at that, and
emnently satisfactory to the country
maiden, and she went out of the Office
smacking her lips as if there was taste
upon them she had never encountered
before.
After she arrived home she remarked
to her mother:
"Eh, mother, but this post-ofice system
of ours is great thing, developing more
and more every year, and each new fea-
ture seems to be the best. Jimmy sent
me dozen kisses along with the money
order, and the postmaster gave me twen-
ty. 1t beats the special delivery system
all hollow"

able statement, made by J. b. Henion,

counted a wonderful experience which
befell him, and the next day We published
from the same paper q second article, CIV
ing an account of the excitement in Ro
chester, and elsewhere, caused by DIR.
Henion's statement. 1t is doubtful ii any
two articles were ever published which
caused greater commotion both among
professionals and lSymen.

ticles, having been besieged with letters
of inquiry, we sent communication to

could be given, and here it il:
GENTLEMEN owe my ne and pres
