would give first and second prize re-
spectively. The assembled ladies were
to award the prizes by ballot, and each
lady was to have but one
trial for the prize, The
fact that nearly every one
present had some votes for one of the
prizes, speaks very highly for the in
teresting character of the stories and the
skill in relating them. The first prize
was at length awarded to Miss Price,
who related a very ludicrous story IN the
way of personal experience in Paris.
The second prize was given to Miss
Gethoefer, the theme of whose story
could not be learned. The prize to Miss
Frlce was an elegandt satin banner of
large size, tastily and richly trimmed

1t is announced that Attorney Gener-
al Rice, whose successor has not yet
been appointed, has taken an appeal to
the supreme court from the decision Of
Judge Francis legalizing the capital
commission warrants and the case will
have hearing before that tribunal.
Since the publication OF the Press and
Dakotaian version OF matters pertaining
to the Bismarck dynasty certain exeou-
tive organs are deying the deal TO rid the
combination of Attorney General Rice
and there is now a prospect that the ex-
posure may result in his retention
There is an earnest effort on the part of
the combination newspapers to demon
stfate the absence of any intention to
perpetrate an unlimited issue of capital
commission warrants, but upon this
point the public has nothing better than
the naked assertion. The theory that the
mauipulators will be deferred by con.
science from reaching for more than an
atom when the entire bulk is before
them does not correspond with past ex.
periences as applied to the acts of the
capital commission.

by the Northern Pacific railroad in
Washington territory. This decision
declares that the claim to the land in
the territory, extending along 100
miles, is not good, and that the land
shall be released for public settlement.
This throws open to the public two
