Fantastic Tricks.

ALEXANDRIA, Jan. 9.-Dr. Mitchell is
lost none of his cunning while anguish
ing in the penitentiary at Saltwater for
two years. He has resumed his old
tactics. This time the object of his
scheming is a young Norwegian girl
with s400 cash. The doctor has wife
and family living at Spruce Hill, this
county. When he returned he went
directly to the girl and arranged an
eiOpement with her, having first repre-
sented to her that he was divorced from
his former wife. They demanded from
her guardian the S400 held in trust by
him for the girl, and secured $50, all the
ready money the gentleman had at the
moment, and departed to WahpetOn,
where they were married. The doctor
soon found himself a financial wreck
among strangers in strange land; but
he ingratiated himself
INTO THE GOOD GRACES
of chance acquaintance, of whom he
obtained enough money to get as far as
GAINESVILLE, where he secured loan

here. and he expected to receive the
balance of the S400. But in the mean
time some parties in Wahpeton, desiring
to serve the girl good turn. headed
him off by sending the following tele-
gram:

Finding himself outflanked at his base
of supplies he came to Alexandria: but
for what purpose no one has yet learned
He has entertained the people with
history of his career. He claims to be
a partner of DR.. A. A. Ames, to Mime
apOliS, and asserts that the extent of his
practice is something wonderful. He
has, he says, an average of forty to fifty
office patients daily, and often sixty pro-
fessiOnal calls to make per day. He al
legeS that horses, carriages and lackeyS
stand at his office door continually, in
readiness to meet his urgent demands.
The doctor went into the country, few
days ago, where he found refuge with
farmer, presumably a friend or ac--
quaintance, and where he was captured
by Officer De Frate. He was taken to
Saltwater to-day.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The president

the Indian commissioners, who recently
reached agreements with the Indians in

Special TO the GLOBE.
WINNIPEG, Man., Jan. 9.-When DR..
Harrison kicked NorquaY out of the
cabinet few weeks ago and succeeded
in getting the lieutenant governor to
call on him to form government, he
never dreamed that when he lost the
old half-breed he lost the brains of the
cabinet. The result is that differences
have arisen among his supporters and
the French faction has become dissatis-
fed and pledged itself to vote with the
opposition. When the legislature meets
next Thursday the Harrison govern
ment will receive an adverse vote, and
chaos is expected to reign. Harrison
having formed the government, will be
entitled to an appeal to the country, but
it is doubtful if he will ask it, as an ap-
peal under the present circumstances
will result in throwing the government
party out. The whole difficulty is due
to the fact that the people do not be-
lieve the government was in earnest in
trying to build the Red River Valley
road. If the opposition gets in a vigor-
Gus policy against the Dominion gov
ernment, agitation will be commenced
for commercial union and other pro-
gressive measures. Lively times gen
orally are expected.

service should be required or compelled
TO apply Tor pension as pauper; but
it should be granted to him as right
and as the payment of an obligation or
debt due him from the government, in
whose service he became disabled.
Under this bill the widow of veteran
will be
ENTITLED TO A PENSION
without being required to prove that
her husband died from disease incurred
i'll the service, it being practically i'm
possible for her to do so in any case.
The orphans of Union soldiers are to be
granted pensions under this bill without
being required to show that their
fathers died from disease or injuries
received in the service for the
same reason. The peculiarity of this
bill, or posi- bly, its merit, is that 1t
can be passed without coming directly
into antagOniSm with any of the other
measures proposed; as it does not at
tempt to interfere with the rates of pen
siOns already established by law, and
ing the present unjuStly strict rules of
evidence so as to allow meritoriouS
eases to receive justice due them.
When we have taken care of all this
class of veterans, who were disabled in
the service, we can consider the claims
of those who ask aid as dependents, and
not before.
MY OTHER BILL,
which proposes to amend the law relat-
ing to naturalization, makes the for
eigner who enlisted i'll the Union army
and served therein and was honorably
discharged citizen of the United
States by reason of that fact; without
requiring him to go through the useless
and empty ceremony of going into
court, and by showing that he was a
soldier be admitted to citizenship.
Hundreds and thousands of these men
do not understand the present law, and
believe they are citizens without going
into court, and they ought to be; and
my purpose is to make them so by law.
1t also proposes by amendment to make
foreign-born children of such foreigners
as were hOn0rably discharged, or died
in the army, citizens of the United
States"

This bills simple justice; under the
arrearages act of 1880, claimants got
back pensions from the date of their
discharge from the army. My bill gives
the same benefit to the poor fellows
who were kept out of their dues by
some official crotchet."

in force from the organization of the
first state institution, and there has
never before been an exception in the
case of any of them, that the people of
the place where the institution is To-
Gated should have representation upon
its board OF management. The reform
school is legally located at Red Wing.
1t is temporarily staying at st. Paul for
convenient removal hither. There are
but four directors, and the term of one
who resides in Minneapolis expired
a week ago to-day. 1t has pleased the
governor to reappOint the outgoing di-
rector. making two from the city where
the school is not and never was, and to
refuse to appoint one from this city,
which has always been equally entitled
with Minneapolis to claim a director,
which has now better claim than any
other place in the state to not one only
but at least two of the four as Soou as
