ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION.
STATE OF MINNESOTA,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. {

EXECUTIVE IMPAIRMENT. }
In conformity with a now well estab-
llshed custom in this and other States of
the Union, do designate and appoint
Saturday, April %, 1888, as
ARBOR DAY,
in the State of Minnesota, and commend
to all people of the State the observance
of the day in the planting of trees. shrubs
and vines, and especially do l invoke the
aid and cooperation of all school officers,
including superlntendents and teachers,
of park boards and all public officers in
the State whose duties relate to the care
of public grounds, streets and highways.
The result of a general observance, year
after year, of this custom will, in the
course of few years not only enhance
the value of property, but greatly add to
the beauty and attractiveness OF our
State. The preservation or perpetuation
of our forests and the growing OF timber
| where none now exists, are matters OF
| real public concern and importance. An
increase of forests would give an increase
of rainfall, thus benefttfng the farming
and agricultural interests of tho State.
Without protection the prairie home is
exposed to the scorching heat of the sum-
mer sun, and the blasts of the winter
storm. A home tastefully surrounded
and ornamented by trees is evidence OF
refinement and happiness. From con
siderations of utility, beauty, comfort
and health, as we'll as a commendable
pride in our State, would urge the OBJ
servance of the day herein named al
Arbor Day, and invite the co operation
of all good cltizens-the minister, the
teacher, the business man, to secure it,

minister west on the Reiection

Boston, Aug, 24.-Sir Lionel S. Sack
vile West, British minister to the Unit
ed States, was visited by a reporter at
his picturesque shore home in Beverly.
He said that the rejection of the fisheries
treaty was no surprise to him, as he had
expected that it would be made s. party
question, and on that line would not pass
the senate. He thought the result Of
the rejection would not be serious. It
was a matter, certainly, to be regretted,
as the treaty offered a fair and honora-
BILE solution to both governments of vex-
atious questions.
When asked what he thought the
British government would do in case
President Cleveland enforced the ratalia-
ton act he replied:
'.It is impossible for me to tell, but I
I'm constrained to believe thas the matter
will be settled in some way before. any
serious action is taken.n

tire skeleton was found. The position OF
this skeleton was peculiar. The head
was slightly advanced and bowed, the
Knees were drawn up to the chin, while
the elbows rested on the knees with the
hands placed fiat upon either cheek. No
bones of the ankle or foot and no hip bones
were uneartfled. The body lay upon it's
left side, facing the west, while under
and around it were the remains of a char
coal fire, and many clam and mussel-
shells were placed under and around the
head. The two skulls presented n
marked contrast. The first had "a high,
broad forehead and comparatively small
jaw, while the last measured 22L inches
around the Uranium, ~ inches around
the eyebrows to The middle top of the
head, and his forehead rose about one
inch. The lower jaw was p%rotruding

Mr.. Warner Not a Candidate

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Maj. Warner
of Kansas City persists in his determine
ton not to be 3 candidate for reelection
to congress from the Fifth Missouri dis
trict. He has been informed that a
unanimous denomination will be ten
dered him, but, apparently, that does
not change his intention to decline. In
speaking of the matter he expressed
himself as duly grateful to the Repuh-
licans of the district for their continued
confidence in him, and their fattering
proffer of unanimous support, but said
his private business interests would posi-
lively prevent him from longer remain
ing in public life. He will, therefore,
decline to be considered, under any cir
cumstances, a candidate for reelection,
and an authorized statement to that eff.
feet, with the reasons therefor, will be
sent to the district committee.
