The site chosen.

Chicago, July 3-The site of the OH.
cago military post has been selected,
and this afternoon Gen. Sheridan left
for Washington, taking with him the
unanimous report Of the military com.
mission appointed to select the location.
Lit will by him be presented to the secre-
tary of war, and it is understood that
the recommendation will be presented
to the present congress. The choice OF
the commission, consisting of Gen.
Sheridan, Gen. Terry and Col. James g.
G. Lee, fell on the Comm erlcal National
tract, located between the Northwestern
railroad and the Lake Shore. the south
line of which ls one-half mile north of
Highwood station, or two and q half
miles north of Highland park. The
tract contains little over AGO acres and
hasa frontage of mile and quarter
on the lake shore, the north line being
about three miles south OF Lake Forest
All contracts we're closed up to-day, and
now all that is needed is for the secre-
tary and congress to accept it,. 1t is
understood that congress will make an
appropriation that work can be COM
menced on the grounds and buildings
this year.

Dakota's democrats, represented by
their committee, have called their bien.
NAL congressional convention to meet at
Aberdeen on the Goth of September, one
week after the meeting of the repubii-
can convention. In SO far as the loca-
ton of tue convention is concerned the
party has yielded to the dictation of the
anti.divisionists and it would produce
no surprise to see the entire democratic
organization go over to that faction and
unite with the defeated anti.dlvision :,
lists OF the republican party in an ag-
gressiye warfare upon south Dakota and
it's dearest interests. The tendency of
affairs is now in that direction and it is
encouraged by the strong element with
in the democratic party which has a
leaning toward the corruptionists of
north Dakota and their southern allies.
So if there should come about oonli.
tion between these two factions of two
parties it need occasion no surprise.
Either standing alone stands defeated.
In union there is strength for them.

THF SCOPE OF COMMON
SCHOOL STUDIES EN-
TENDING

The sphere of common school in
strucG0n is continually extending in
every part Of the country. In Boston
an appropriation of several thousand
dollars has been made to enable practi.
cal cooking to be taught TO girls in a
considerable number of the city
schools. Boston is city OF wealth
and culture, and the people have too
much good sense not to approve the
|imparting of instruction of this kind
in the public schools. Right thinking
people will regard knowledge Of the
science Of cooking as an additional &C.
complishment for girls. The Connecti-
cut House of Representatives. little
over a week ago, passed bill by a
large majority, requiring physiology
and hygiene, relating especially to the
use of alcoholic liquors and narcotics,
shall be made a public school study;
also requiring persons employed as
teachers shall be found qualified to
give instructions on these subjects.
These are timely movements; the
multitudes of young men and boys
who are falling into the habit of using
tobacco should be taught to know
what are teachings of science in re-
spect to the use of narcotics.
