designated by proclamation as Arbor
day, when the people OF Dakota are in
vited to devote a portion of their time
to planting trees. In Yankton and i'm
mediate vicinity there will be no formal
observance of the occasion, more ON ac-
count of the abundance of trees already
possessed by our land and lot owners than
because OF any lack of interestin the mat
ter. Everyone feels that the day could
rot be more proitably spent through
out the territory, than by industri-
ously observing it in both letter and

The pupils in all the twenty-seven puollc
schools of St. Paul were yesterday given an
interesting lesson in patriotism. 1t was the
closing dav of the fall term, and according
to mutual arrangement of Supt. Taylor and
the principals the afternoon was celebrated
as Heroes Day." Annually heretofore
there has been a celebration of Authors
Day." but this year it was seen mt to change
the programme, and taking Washington.
Lincoln and Grant as the subjects. Heroes
Day" was inaugurated for the closing eXer-
cises of the term. The exercises were OF
the same character in all the schools. Inc
rooms were very handsomely decorated
with evergreen. flowers and the national
cOors, and. in many cases, with portraits
of the heroes drawn by the pupils them
selves. In response to general invitation
the exercises were very largely attended
by parents of the pupils. and this
was true of all the schools. Essays
carefully prepared by the pupils on the
lives of those three men, were read in all
the schools. containing biographical and
historical information. In addition there
were determinations and readings, all culled
from the speeches of Washington. Lincoln
and Grant. Interspersed with these the
pupils sang patriotic songs, such as Amer
lea, Columbia Star Spangled Ban
ner." John Brown" "Washingtons
Tomb" etc. These exercises occupied the
greater part of the afternoon and keen in
ferest was taken in them by the pupils. no
less so because of the change IN theme from
authors, both in the preparation and in car
rying out the programme. and also by the
visiting parents. The celebration of
Heroes Day. was so satisfactory to both
teachers and pupils that it is likely to be-
come an annual occurrence hereafter, as it
furnishes the pupils an opportunity to &C
9uire information not only of the three
Heroes Of yesterday, but of long list of
men who may hereafter be subjects of
study on that day.

The railroad commissioners returned
Yesterday from Duluth where they went In
response to complaints that there was ex-
tensiye stealing of wheat going on there.
The commissioners say that they found the
charges true. The manner of theft seems
to have been chiefly in sweeping the gram
and though it was taken in small quantities
by long continuance the amount OF gram
taken was of some Importance. Inc gram
was brushed in small quantities from cars
and bins and allowed to accumulate IN
corners. etc, and then gathered up ana
stored in some private place. Gen. BAKER
said the commission had learned OF one IN
stance where two car loads had been col
lected in this manner. The commls-
sion conferred with railroad OF
fciaIs and members of the Duluth
chamber of commerce. and arranged Tor
system of special police, to be appointed
by interested parties, and to act in conIunc-
ton with the Duluth police in checking
this petty theving.
The commission also had its attention
called to the question of how to treat the
so called elevator annexeS" in the state
inspection. These. the commissioners Salu.
were constructed for insurance reasons. as
bv putting portion of its bins at distance
from the others. it could secure better
rates. Practically, these were separate
bins of one elevator and the commission
decided to treat elevator and annex as one.

ophidian was of the family cobra is evident
from the loose hood of skin that falls
round the base of the jaws and extends
forward towards the tip of the nose. to a
point just in front of the eyes. The eye
balls are absent. but the sockets are there
and the eyelids are perfect, appearing to
be half closed. The jaws are distinctly
outlined and the lips are tightly closed.
The nostrils, though small, are well de-
fined.
The petrification is of a dark gray hue,
notified with eight spots irregularly shaped,
resembling the spots on the skin Of an
adder. 1t is an inch in diameter at the
thickest part and gradually grows smaller
until the base of the jaws is reached. There
are two obtuse curves in the specimen, as
though the reptile was in the act OF moving
when it was buried beneath the stream of
lava from which it was dug. 1t was found
near the base of Excelsior geyser. in Hell's
Half-acre, and may have been thrown from
the crater of this small volcano during some
period of eruption. No reptiles of the de-
scription of this specimen now exist in the
park, so far as is known by the settlers
there.
