REPRESENTATIVE MORRISON, of Hi
nois, who was lately defeated for re-
election by tariff money from the east,
declares that the talk about making
him clerk of the next house was not
from his friends or with his consent.
CoNGREssMAN WELLBoRN is quite
confident his Indian committees bill
opening the Sioux reservation i'll Da-
kota for settlement, will be passed
.early in the session. 1t was passed in
the senate last spring, and has little
opposition in the house.
A GEOLOGICAL survey of Texas
would no doubt develop great min
eral wealth in the rocky hills of
Northwest and Western Texas; and, at
cost of $4,000 to $4,000, induce mil
lions of dollars from the East to mine
and utilize the latent mineral re-
sources of our State.
SUNSET Cox is yet minister to Tur-
key, though elected and now serving
as congressman from his old district
in New York; and one OF his first ut
terances in the house was the intro
duction of bill providing that a con-
gresham should not draw the salary
of any--other position. This act but
adds TO the esteem and confidence
with which the man is regarded every
where.
Mr.. PENN of the Laredo Times, the
Democratic nominee for the legisla-
ture, says he is deprived of the seat
to which he was elected by the action
of Republican county judge, throw.
ing out four boxes which gave Penn
majorities. Mr.. Penn will contest the
matter before the legislature, claiming
he can prove the fraud. The legisla-
ture should discourage such fraud by
rebuking it.
The Houston Age seems TO remem-
Der the hub of Tarrant county only in
connection with the days when it was
growing and prosperous. The Age
says:
The Smiths of Dallas are not Office
seeking folks. The HERALD has found
only two of the family who want to
be mayor. And 1t may be that in
their case the office is hunting the
Smiths. The remarkable growth and
advancement of Fort Worth under
Peter Smiths administration, may
have made the Dallasites anxious to
have Smith for mayor.

be for the present national bank law,
and ut that time there was extreme
class legislation, which made corpora
tons rich. Then capital of $4,000
could buy 100000 worth of bonds,
deposit them with the government,
issue $4,000 bank currency with gov
eminent security, and draw 6 and 8
per cent interest on the bonds and 10

No. so now, however. With the wan

value of bonds from 20 cents to $40
and SLAB, and substitution of 3 and
per cents for and 8 per cents. Now
The rate of interest on bonds is so low

LOOKED SQUALLY FOR AWHILE.
A Young Wife's Suspicion and Her
Husbands Explanation.
Louisville Post.

A young lawyer, who has been recently
married to beautiful belle, was made the
victim of a malicious anonymous letter that
might have resulted seriously to his domes-
tic happiness. 1t seems that the Young
man has made an enemy of man who has
an Office so near that at times he can over
look his movements. A few DAYS ago the
young mans bride received an anonymoDs
letter, saying: AS new q groom as vOur
husband ought not to have young lady call
on him IN his Office and he ought not to take
her in his arms and kiss her. "Wednesday
11:15 a. m" The young wife was almost
heartbrOken. She cried until her eyes were
red, and when her lord came home up
braided him bitterly. She showed HIM the
letter. and, as he didn't have any expIana-
ton but a denial, matters began to look
very interesting around his home, He
couldn't think who would tell such false
hood about him, and he started down town
in a very moody condition. As he sat in
the corner of the car broOding over this
trouble an idea suddenly struck him. 1t
had the same effect OH him as if he had sat
down on pin. In an instant he was rup-
ming at full speed hOmeward, while the
passengers were congratulating themselves
on the narrow escape of a dangerous luna-
tic. Bursting into his wife's room, he fair
ly danced with delight as he exclaimed:
Don't YOU remember? You were in nv
Office Wednesday morning; you We're the
young woman | kissed" Peeee now
reigns, but he had close call.

lege Hospital of Minneapolis. and from that
time till recently the St Paul faculty has
lectured in Minneapolis. About year ago
the St Paul faculty having a very large
amount of material on hand. concluded to
reorganize the original college, and did so.
The faculty secured a very desirable lOca-
ton on Ninth street, near Exchange, and
thereupon erected very convenient and
handsome structure, three stories in height,
which cost S25. 600. The college includes
departments of medicine, pharmacy, den
tistry and veterinary medicine. in each of
which is competent corps of instructors.

Board of Directors-Gen. H. H. sibley,

The building will be devoted principally
to didactic teaching. instructions in the
laboratory and special clinics. General
clinics will take place at number of
hospitals with which the college is con-
nected. A dispenary will be established in
the building. The faculty requires three
full courses for graduation. but recommends
four years course. The faculty offers
large number of prizes as stimulus to ex-
ertion on the part of students. The col
lege has accommodations for 200
students, and will open with 20. The
opening exercises will be held i'm the rooms
under the college. An address will be de-
livered by DR.. Hewitt. of Red Wing,

JANUARY WEATHER.
Interesting Statement of the Signal
officer.

What is most noteworthy in connection
with the weather of last month is that it
was the third January since 1878 that
passed without ''thaw," the temperature
of the air in the shade not going above 500
at any time. The other Januarys that had
like characteristics were in 1875 and 1888,
and thew were also the only ones with q
mean temperature below that of last month.
The average January temperature at St.
Paul for the last Is years is 12.0o; the
mean Of last month was much less, it being
4.1o but it Is much more than the mean
for January, 1883, decidedly more than
that for 1875. while il ranges from O.5 of a
degree 10 22o less than for each of the
other Januarys from 1871 mp to now. The
coolest January on record was in 1875 and
the warmeSt that of 1880, the means being
% . below zero and 26.1 : above zero re-
spectively. All the precipitation last month
came in the form of snow; melted, it made
total of 1.76 inches. The average in this
respect for the last fifteen Januarys is 0. 80
of an inch, the month in question was much
dryer than January 1881 only. The dryest
January since 1871 was in 1874. and the
wettest in 1881, the precipitation being O.
of an inch and asa inches respectively.
The barometer was free from extremes { r
sudden changes during the MONTH The
wind movement was very moderate and at
no time attained velocity deserving 10 be
classed as gale" All that is of addi-
