The secretary Of the interior has re-
iected the selection of some $4,000 acres OF
land, made by the st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Manitoba railroad company, within
Dakota. Sections between the six and
ten-mile limits were rejected because of
having previously been selected as in
demnity land by the Northern Pacific
railroad, and the secretary holds that
priority Of selsction gave superiority of
right.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

Notwithstanding the thermometer In the
Grand opera house was singing ninety and
nine, another crowd filled the spacious thea
ter to witness ''Evangeline." The audience
was as enthusiastic as the night before, the
beautiful drill especially eliciting immense
applause. A matinee performance will be
given this afternoon and the successful en-
gagement will close tonight Sale of
tickets for Sol Smith RUSSELL who opens
tomorrow night, is progressing satisfac-
torily.
Manager Tillotson promises that EVAN
geline" will have the largest continuous
run of any play that was ever on the boards.
He is now on his forty-seventh week with
out missing night. "Evangeline" broke
the record in Chicago. and the beginning is
good to make the managers promise good.
1t is unfortunate for the ''Evangellne"
management that Miss Montague's sickness
prevented her from coming to st. Paul. 1t
IS an old trick with theatrical managers
when coming to the Northwest to drop out
a star OF two on the way and save expenses.
The st. Paul theater-goers are quick to
catch on to dodge of this kind and resent
it. AS Miss Montague is really sick, it is
unfortunate for the management that her
sickness should have occurred Just al this

The Second Days Shooting at the
Fort Smelling Range-.SOMe Phe-
nOmenai Scores.
There were ninety-two competitors yes
terday on the target range OF Fort Smelling,
and, beginning promptly at s:45 a. NJ. fir
ing was conducted in the order of distance
at 200, 800, 500 and 500 yards. The day
was less favorable than the previous one.
The light was intense ON the targets, the
heat, pouring down on the dry sod, created
a thousand strata of air Of different and
varying densities, and through these the
distant bulls eyes danced with bewilder-
ing ingenuity and rapiditY Of movement. In
addition a ''fsh-taiE' breeze lashed
the wind-gauges into frenzy. Of
the flags that line the sides of
the range, some streamed in one direc-
ton, while, the rest streamed quite
as positively in another. Most of the COM
petitors ''wore smile' and other things
that were less airy; for the clothing fur
nished by the government is approximately
the. same winter and summer, in Dakota
and in Texas. 1t was al amusing sight to
see the shooters i'll camp after the fore
noon firing. Every man was busily en-
gagged in fishing watermelon from barrel
of ice-water, where forethought had put it
to cool. Monday the leading score was

and one of them was 176 and was made by

THE SAME as LAST YEAR.
The Grain commissioners Refuse
Establish a New Grade.

The Grain commissioners Refuse 10
Establish New Grade.
The railroad and warehouse commission
ers, after considering the advisability OF
establishing new grade. have decided
against any change in the grades and give
the following reasons why:
The present system has been in full opera
ton one year. The years experience more
than meets the expectation OF the FRIENDS Oh
the grain and warehouse law. The condition
in this state prior to the Introduction of the
present system, was one of alleged Irregular
tiles and injustice to the producers OF the
state. After the test Of one year complaints
have almost disappeared and general salts
faction is manifest The commission has
taken pains to pursue the subject even be-
yond state lines. and found that the system or
state inspection was receiving the confidence
and meeting the wants of the great markets OF
the East. 1t has simplyted the grades, taken
away great opportunities for wrong DONG,
and adopted the word Northern to give char
acter to and designate as trade marx our
Northwestern wheat in the markets OF the
world, and thus draw line between North
ern and Southern spring wheat.
The commission find that all interested,
whether producer, shipper or buyer, have
become practiced in the handling of grain by
these grades. The line between the grades is
sufficiently marked and distinct. They easily
guide the producer in his Judgment. defend
him from injustice and, we believe, secure 10
him the highest possible price for his grain.
Both grades and weights have worked to the
satisfaction OF nearly all concerned. The
new crop, even better than the old, promises
to be adapted to present grades.
Every shipper in the state is entitled to the
benefit Of these state grades and state weights
in shipping to st. Paul, Minneapolis and Du-
luth. a receiver who fails to give shipper
the benefit of state grades ana weights should
be compelled to accept the grain at the grades
and weights of the shipper, and the shipper
should also be compelled to acquiese in the
inspection and weighing at the points desig-
mated. This is construed to be the true in
tent of the law. While perfection is not
claimed, 1t is believed that the objects sought
by the law and the commissian have been
fairly attained, and that our people enjoy a
system of inspecting and weighing grain
equal, if not superior to that of any other
state.
In view of all the facts bearing upon the
situation the commission deem it manifestly
unwise to make any change in the grades es-
tablished and promulgated Aug. II. 1885, and
those grades are, therefore, re-establshed for
the ensuing year.
