Death of q Noted Minnesotian.

Officials in the general Office OF the Mexi.
can Central railroad received a telegram
from Division Supt. Echert, at Freisnello,
75O miles south of Paso del Norte, an
nouncing that Col. Abner Tibbitts, r3resi
dent of the Ell Paso, St. Louis & Chicago
railway, had been found dead in his berth
on q south-bound train for the City of
Mexico. Ex-Secretary Window OF Mime
sofa was accompanying the deceased to
the City Of Mexico on behalf of the cele-
brated Topolovampo Pacific railroad pro-
ject, in which both were largely interested
with Gen. Butler. and others. Col.
Hbbitts was in poor health, and it was
thought that his death was the result of
heart disease, superinduced by the rarity
OF the tmosphere through which the train
was passing at the time. The track through
that portion Of Mexico rises to an altitude
Of 900 feet above tbs sea level. The de.
ceased formerly resided in Minnesota and
was widely known. At one time he lived
at Lake City, and represented Wabasha
county In the state legislature. Subse-
quently he was appointed register Of the
United States land Office at st. Peter, and
filled the position for a number of years,
being succeeded by Horny A. Swift, who
succeeded Hon. Alexander Ramsey as gov
ernor Of Minnesota. After his retirement
from Office Mr.. Tibbitts engaged in the real
estate business, hut several years ago re-
moved to New Mexico, where he engaged in
mining and stock growing. 81 II

Mr.. Carroll D.. Wright, the federal
commissioner OF labor, whose recent
report attracted much attention by
its argument that cooperation or
profit. sharing would be the final out
come OF thu labor agitation, takes q
rosy view of the prev ailing turmoil in
theindustries OF the land. He declares,
in q recent interview, existing agita-
:tions will bring better instead of worse
times, and that they simply mean
that the wage system is nearing its
end. The so-called labor troubles, he
argues, are not the outgrowth OF 8,
norance, but the direct result of IN.
creased intelligence. Participation By
workmen in profits ii addition to
wages Is true harmonixer Of the III.

Gen. Lees Foresight.

Unlike the vast. majority of his
Southern countrymen, Lee had a very
clear idea Of the tremendous odds
against which the South would have tc
contend, and was not sang1ine as to
the result. This is shown BY an anec.
dote never before in print and entirely
reliable. just after receiving his com.
mission from the Virginia convention
he called upon q family in Richmond
:, whom ON, he had known for many wears.
Two 9 the sons had already enlisted
and the third mere boy-wanted to
do 50. The mother, naturally anx.

A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress which will, If adopted and sus-
tanned by the courts, make the farm
ers OF the country exceedingly gleeful.
1t proposes to put the manufacture
and sale Of oleomargarine under about
the same restriction as the manufac-
ture of tobacco, and to put tax OF
ten cents a pound on that and other
limitations of butter. The restrictions
are exceedingly stringent and with the
tax on the product would practically
put an end to the business.

Washington's Farewell Address"
is not by any means so familiar to
the people of the United States as it
should be, but it is hardly possible
that such q hoax as the one lately
perpetrated in Canada could have oc-
CURED here. An editor altered a few
portions OF the address to fit Cana
dian affairs, and published it, declar.
ing it to be the parting words of the
Premier, Sir John Mcdonald, to the
Canadian people. 1t was very gener-
ally believed for time that Sir john
had actually resigned, but some mem.
bers OF the opposition thought the
news too good to be true, and investi-
gated the matter.

Several weeks ago q boycott was
declared against the Mongolians in
California, and all persons employing
them were requested to discharge
them-the request involving an unex-
pressed threat that those who refused
would be made victims of the measure.
The fruit growers complied with the
request and discharged their Chinese
laborers, and now they are beginning
to ask what they are going to do for
help to gather their large fruit crop
the largest ever gathered in the state.

More Dakota Admission Plans.

Washington Special: Mr.. Springer intro.
duced a bill providing for the admission OF
Dakota as q state. The bill differs from
all the measures hitherto presented on this
subject, and Mr.. Springer believes that it
will be agreed to by the committee on ter
ritory, which will hold a special meeting
for its consideration.

made for the election to be held on
tho second Tuesday of November next,
when convention is to be chosen for the
formation OF q constitution, which consti-
tuition is to be submitted to vote of the
people, the election to be held at such
time and place as may be fixed by the con-
stitution. At the election in November the
people are also to vote On a location for a
state capital, and the three places receiving
the greatest number OF votes are to be
again submitted to a vote OF the people at
the election fixed for tho adoption of a con-
stitution, and the place receiving the great.

designated as the state capital. No county
shall be formed which contains less
than three Thousand inhabitants.
Counties now existing which do
not contain that number shall be CONSOLE
dated. At the election at which the con-
stitution is submitted for adop ton, state
officers and two members OF congress are
to be chosen.
There is nothing to prevent the election
OF two members to the second session of
the present congress, but, as the constitu.
ton cannot be adopted earlier than Febru-
airy next, it is not likely that members will
be chosen to this congress, and it looks as
IL the bill was drawn to prevent Dako-
ia from gaining admission prior to the
time fixed for the assembling Of the
Fiftieth congress. After being adopted
by apopular vote, the constitution must
be submitted to congress, through the
president OF the United States,
for the examination and approval OF that
body. Mr.. Springer thinks that should the
bill be passed at this session, all it's require
ments could be fulfilled in ample time to
enable congress TO admit the new state

Lynchinx of . Wife Murderer.

George Graham, the wife murderer, was
lynched at Springfield, Mo-, by mob.
Several men. heavily armed, called the
sheriff to the door, seized and forced him
to give up the keys. Then they went to
tho cell and opened the door. Graham
was in his bunk, and was commanded
to get up. He was at first infu-
rate and replied with oaths, but he was
silenced by the muzzle of q revolver thrust
in his lace. He dressed himself, and when

An Element of Disafrection In India.

an A<iohohe VI DiShhoction In
There is one element of permanent
disaffection, I fear, among the Indian
population. The Mohammedan descend
ants of the ancient Moguls still behold at
Delhi and Agra the departed magnifi-
cence of great empire. The Tai at
Agra, the immortal work of Shah Jehan,
is, without exception, the most exquisite
piece of architecture in the world. Eu-
rope has nothing to equal it. The vast
mosques and mausoleums of the Mogul
emperors, their huge fortresses, the gil
gantic ruins Of deserted cities which in
cumber the plains for many miles around
Delhi. speak Of the grandeur of an en-
pire which was only second to that of
ancient Rome. 1t were vain to think
that the descendants of those who Gre
ated this empire can love their con-
querors. There is too much evidence
that the ancient centres of Mohammedan
authority are still far from friendly to the
power that supplanted them. Nor have
the Mohammedans profited as the Hin
dus have done by British education;
they long stood sullenly aloof, and re-
fused to enter our schools, and SO the
oath to advancement was seized by the
Hindus, and they have the modification
Of seeing their former subject rise above
them in the social scale. -Contemporary

prison artist was engaged in taking the pic

arrived during July and August-and of wit
Messing the modus operandi of reproducing
their mugs ON paper. Everything was in
readiness at $50 a. m. The artist handed a
list Of names to a guard, and requested him
TO bring in gang Of thirty or forty new CON
victs from the chair shop. The officer soon
had the raw recruits in line, and marched
them across tie yard TO the gallery, where
they were seated on a bench along the wall
in the outer room. Capt. Luke, the receiving
officer, then took the list of names and enter
ing the operating room--where all was ready,
the camera and chair in position--called out
the name Of the first man ON the list and the
guard, picking out that man. hustled him in
TO the room.

What's yer register numberl See that little
red star on the walll Place yer eyes on that
and don't move till tell yer-hold up that

While this volley was being fired into the
ears Of the trembling convict, the captain
grabbed the man by the shoulders, squared
him back In the chair, yanked his head
around in the direction of the star on the
wall, chucked him under the chin to elevate
his head, and then, pulling around wooden
