Chas, IIoay, one of the owners of the
original townsite of Minneapolis and the
man who gave the town its name, died
in Minnesota recently. Hoag transferred
Lis affections from Minneapolis to town
of no Importance, and as consequence
did not reap the rich financial reward
that would have been his had his faith
in Minneapolis been well founded.
lloag came originally from Pennsylvania
and was noted there for his eccentrities of
character. He was eighty years old at
the time of his death and there is lady
living in this valley who went to school
to him in his youth.

BLAINE'3 WITHDRAW Al.

Mr. Blaine, the great republican presi-
dental candidate, is ont in very long
letter, i'll which he SAYS his name will
not be presented to the national conven-
ton, called TO assemble ut Chicago next
jane. He then fays that he is con-
strained to make the decision by consid-
erations entirely personal to himself
Following this brief announcement
comes some very loud whistling from
the Maine statesman, which is evidently
meant to keep mp the courage of the
republican hosts. A careful perusal Of
the letter will fail to show wherein Mr..
Blaine makes any reference to his in
tention Of refusing the nomination
should it be rendered to him, and il is
not vet certain that he will not be the
candidate pitted against Grover Cleve-
land next fall. Mr.. Blaine is willy
Yankee and the people, many of them
at least, are inclined to take his public
assertions with grain of salt. A second
or third reading of Mr.. Blaine's letter
will! convince most anyane that he is
seeking the nomination for president
from the republican party. There is not
| the slightest doubt but that he willbe The
one 50 nominated.

Text or the Bill Forming the New
Territory.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-The bill forming
the new Territory of Oklahoma, which
was reported favorably from the House
committee on Territories to day, provides
that what is known as public land strip
and all that part of the Indian Territory
not actually occupied by the five civilized
tribes OF Indians, shall be created into a
temporary government under the name
of the Territory of Oklahoma. The
president is required to appoint com.
mission of five persons to open negotia-
tions with the Creek, Seminole and
Cherokee tribes, and when they shall
signify their assent to the provisions of
the act, and the president has issued his
proclamation, fixing the time for the
same to take effect, the unoccupied lands
ceded to the United States under the
treaties of June and March, 1856, shall
be open to settlement, except the 10th
and seth section in each township,
which shall be reserved for school pur.
poses. The lands 80 thrown open to set
tlement shall be disposed of to actual
settlers only in quantities not to exceed
l6O acres to each settler at the price Of
$l.25 per acres. All persons settling on
these lands, under the provisions of this
act. shall maintain continual personal
residence of three years before obtaining
title.
1t opens all lands not required for the
use of any Indian tribes to settlement.
1t makes it a punishable offence for any
person or company to directly or in.

occupants. All leases Of lands belonging
to the United States or held in common
by the Indians tribes of oklahoma, except
such as are held for farming purposes
are declared void and contrary to public
policy and the president is required tc
cause lessees to be removed from such
lands for right of way to certain telegraph
and railroad companies, except for the
right of way and necessary stations, are
repealed and such lands forfeited to the
United States. Itprohibits any railroad
company form acquiring lands in such

be insignificant. And it would be NOR,

The pitcher would be in q much bsttel
position to watch the runner and hold hiu
close TO the first bss', and the cstcse'
would handle the ball more quickly and
safely on account of the better view be
would be abs to get oft.
The fifth suggestion is to increase the
size of the field. As Harry Wright, who
furthers this plan, explained it to me, it is
to have the foul lines ins'eId CT,
as now, running f.on tie homeFlste
along the outside edge of first AMI third, to
run from the home plata thTou h prints
three feet outside of fret and third. 1t
does not contemplate any change Of II e
bases, but only to make ground fair which
is now foul. The suggestion SEEM to be o
good one, and would un5oubt IDLY result
in more base hits, though the hitting itsslf
would be unchanged. Alone, it would net
relieve, in any way, the position Of tie
catcher or batter, and has therefore 20! the
advantage of the preceding suggeytioD,
that of moving the pitche. back. l aD, in
consequence, still much in favor ofincIeH-
ing the pitchers distance in preference to
any other change yet proposed.
