A DAKOTA POSTMASTER.

Was born in the city of La Sale, La
Sale county, Ills, Nov. %, 1850. La
Sale is the terminus of the illinois and
Michigan canal, and forty years ago was
a booming town. Judge Bakers pa
rents immigrated from Ireland in 1S47.
He grew to manhood on farm and
made the most of such school advant-
ages as were Obtainable in those days.
For number of years he re-
sided in Bureau county, ILL.,, and was
engaged in the cattle shipping and
butcher business. Was married to Miss
Katie l.. Fagen in 1877, and in
1882 came to Sphinx county, Dakota,
In June, 1884, came to Britton, OAK.
and purchased drug store, and the
next year, 1885, in October, he was APP
pointed postmaster of BrittOn. In 1886
was elected probate judge of Marshall
county, and thus far filled the various
positions of honor and trust with general
satisfaction to the citizens of the county.
In politics he has always been
staunch Democrat, but never of the fire
eating or blatherskite variety. Judge
Baker cast his first ballot for Horace
Greeley, and then took Greeley's advice
and went West.

Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland, April
%, 1774. For Ia years he has breathed
the air of life, and for the last eight
years has inhaled the invigorating ozone
of Dakota.
His was not restless spirit, unable
to bear the trials or brook the restraints
of the native of the Emerald Isle. He
didn't run off and sail for America the
first time his good mother gave him
spanking, but stuck right to the old
boys and fens amid the fogs and mis-
rule to which that unfortunate country
is subject. In the year 1900 he was mar
ried to most estimable woman, who
brought up five girls and seven boys in
the way they should go. Born at the
beginning of the Revolutionary war, he
grew up to manhood while old England
was SO busy with other nations; she had
Ireland by sinister legislation. After the
American republic had whipped old
Great Britain twice and established
this as the land of the free and the home
of the brave, this patriarch of two con-
tinentS concluded to come across the
water. He was three score and ten
years of age when he arrived in Boston,
1915, with his family and friends. He
remained in Massachusetts eleven years
and then concluded to go West and
grow up with the country. Moving to
Houston county, Minnesota, in 1856, he
established new home, which he was
permitted to enjoy for seven years,
when his life companion, growing weary
of life's journey, was laid to rest in the
cemetery near Caledonia, 1862.
Still surrounded by many dear friends
and kind relatives, this venerable son
of Erin has enjoyed an active and happy
life this quarter of century longer,
and is still hale and hearty. Eight
years ago he came to Brookings county,
where he is well known and highly re-
spected. He says he has come to Da-
whose family is among the most intel
ligent and respected in the country.
He never used tobacco and has never
had doctor in his long life.
Facts in reference to the age of this
centenarian are well authenticated. A
question in regard to the matter having
been raised few years ago, his son in
stituted a careful investigation, and
from old records in Ireland determined
the date of his birth to certainty.
Many incidents in his life might be of
interest to the public, but could not be
obtained at the time of preparing this
sketch. He belongs to family remark
able for longevity, is OF strong build
and active temperament. and is stillpos-
SeSSed of sound mind and good health.
He reads without glsses and says he
wants to see the st. Paul GLOBE. He
has always voted the Democratic ticket
and hopes Dakota will be admitted as a
state, so that he can vote for president
again.

1.-The house becoming satisfied that the
president wished the submission clause
ON the bill put it there. But for the
president we could and would have
passed it over Senator Dawes head.
Senators Jones and Morgan would have
led the fight on the Democratic side,
| and Senator Teller on the Republican
side.
"But as the bill of the house came to
the senate it was opposed by the Indian
Rights association, by all the Dakota
delegates and intelligent men every
where. Such pressure was brought
upon Dawes as never befOre-surprised,
surrounded and instructed. he found
himself compelled to accept the honse
bill, and moved to substitute it in the
senate for his BILL"
"He offered number of amendments
see; what were they?'
sob, yes; but boiled down they
amounted to absolutely nothing; for i'll
stance, he changed yoke of cattle to a
''pair'' of cattle. Introduced section
of pure surplussage; re-affirming the
severalty law, but not change of any
import whatever. He re-sectiOnized the
bill and called that twenty amendments.
TranspOSed number of sections, struck
out the school clause, but the senate. on
motion of Senator Teller, made him put
it back in again."

Special to the Globe.
HURON, Dak., April 20.-A call has
been issued for territorial mass con-
vention of the Union Labor party, of
Dakota, to be held in this city on the
27th inst. 1t is signed by j. o. Dean,
member of the national committee. The
object of the convention is to select
delegates to the national convention to
be held in Cincinnati May Is. The call
invites members of the Farmers al
lance, Knights of Labor and Prohibition
party to be present and take part
in the deliberations Of the
main convention. Little interest
seems to be taken in this convention
either by members of the organizations
especially invited to participate, OF by
those of other parties. Unless the mat
more vim than is exhibited here the
gathering will be small and the enthu-
SiaSm mild. The attention of prom
inent member of the Farmers alliance
was directed to the call, to which he re-
marked, Farmers are too busy just
now with their seeding and spring work
to fool away time attending political
conventions of any sort, or to work or
talk for any candidate for Office"
~
The county Democratic convention to
be held here Saturday to select six dele
gates to the territorial convention at
Watertown will be certain to choose
men wholly in accord with Gov.
Church's views and administration. 1t
is likely. however, that they will go to
the convention uninStructed. While
Mr.. Day has numerous friends here.
they will not be so foolish as to make
war against Mr.. Church, believing moth
ing would be gained by sach course
and much might be lost. The leaders
of the party in this county desire that
their best men be sent to represent
them at Watertown; men who have the
good of the territory and the best inter
ests of the party at heart. They court
harmony and urge that now is very
important moment with Democracy in
Dakota and the party cannot afford to
divide itself into two factions merely to
crafty the whims of certain men who
have desire to domineer and dictate.
With this in view will Beadle county's
delegation to Watertown be chosen.

JAMESTOWN, April 2O.-There has
been considerable anxiety among peo-
pie living along the river banks this
spring. The unusually large snow fall
and the exceedingly rapid manner in
which it started to go off seemingly fur
nished good grounds for their fears of
an overflow. 1t is now thought, how
ever, that all danger of flood is past,
although the formation of a gorge at
Jim lake, which has not yet broken,
may bring about that much-dreaded re-
suit. The river rose five feet one dav
and it was generally thought at that
would be repeated.

already been large addition made to
the thoroughbred stock of the upper

what eSRana natl ron was made sss nor

tract, inasmuch as everything possible
was done in his behalf. Gov. Church
came in on the same train with Mr..

him and went out on the same train.
These two gentlemen, however, did not

Beautiful Painting.

There is painting on exhibition II
Commissioner Fosters office at the capt.
toll, which is attracting more than usua
attention. The Waco Examiner, speak
ing of it when it was on exhibition al
that place, said:
at is historical work by Mr.. Louis
Eytb, who lately removed here from San
Antonio. The scene is laid in the outer
walls of the grand old Alamo. 1t is
the day before the terrible battle, WHEN
every inmate of the fort persisted by the
sword. Lieutenant Colonel Travis has
called his brave little garrison out in the
outer walls, aud standing in their midst,
tall and erect with bravery and defiance
depicted upon his features, ad-
dresses them upon the COM
ing conflict, while the counten-
anoes of the men reflect his heroic cour-
age. There are Bowie, Rose and Crockett
easily recognizable by their features.
Rose has his head down and seems in
much mental anguish. The old negro
woman is prominent in the group and
seems intently watc hing both the speaker
and little boy who is seated on drum.
To the rear of the speaker is to be seen
the old cannon which did such effective
service next day, while over their heads
lowered flock of buzzards, omens of the
tragic fate of the immortal heroes. No
more stirring incident in the history of
Texas could have been selected, and the
striking manner in which the scene is pre-
sented calls forth both admiration and
martial pride in every observer.-Waco

ST. EDWARDS COLLEGE
Interesting Closing Exercises OF
the School Yesterday.
Awarding of Diplomas and Gold
Medals-Close of O Pros
porous Term.

The closing exercises at st. Edwards
college attracted a much larger concourse
of visitors this year than ever before, and
this, too, Notwithstanding the threatening
aspect of the weather. The exercises, in
accordance with the programme pub
lished In yesterdays STATESMAN, were
varied and interesting, the students
orchestra and soloists from among
the students rendering several good
musical selections at various inter
walls. The music department of
the college has been under the
direction of Prof. Chas. FELTON, for few
months past, and shows considerable
progress. In fact, the music at the col
lege was very good, and received merited
share of applause.
The department of fine arts ex-
hibited some very promising specimens
of students work, prominent among
which were landscape and other crayon
sketches from the hand of Master Louis
Fisher, son of Mr.. Rhoads Fisher, of Aus
tin. Master Fisher received also gold
medal of honor for good conduct through
out the year, distinction of which any
one might be justly proud, for st. Ed
wards medals are known to be well
earned and rewards of merit in the full
sense of the words.
At the close of the programme the
diplomas, god medals of honor, class
medals and premiums were awarded to
the deserving students. The graduates in
the commercial department this year are
Robert M. Handy and James W. Smith,
of Austin; Samuel Grant Hurley, of
Stubbs, Texas, and Tobias R. Wood, of
Rockport, Texas.
The gold medals of honor for good coz
duct were awarded to Tobias X. Wood,

We have spoken of the music at the

over, apparently iustifying MI

Commencement Excuses and the
Award of Diplomas Yesterday.
A very large and intelligent audience
gathered at Millett's opera house yester
| day morning, to witness the closing exer
cises of Hood seminary, private school,
for young ladies, which has state reputa
ton for superior advantages and excel
lency.
Mr.. T. W. Gregory at the opening OF
the exercises delivered magnificent ad
dress, "The Sphere of Southern Women
Miss Ada Wright then read finished
and exceedingly interesting essay entitled
"Why do we Educate?"
"a Crown of Laurels," an essay by
Miss Maggie Barron, was paper of much
literary merit.
Indeed, the essays of both young ladies
were of more than Ordinary interest, and
left the impression that they we're the
work of carefully trained minds.
The exercises of the seminary were con-
oluded last night in Musical union hall
where, although every feature of them
deserving special notice, they were SC
varied and kept up till such late hour
time forbids more than general notice
The music was under the direction of thai
accomplished lady and most excellent
teacher, Mrs. j. j. Lane, assisted by Miss
Lulle Lane, who volunteered her assist
ance. The selections rendered with twelve
hands on two pianos were particularly
splendid exhibitions of skillful training il
touch and expression, the manipulation;
and time being so perfect that but for the
increased volume of sound it was like
playing upon single grand instrument.
The young lady participants in the sew
eral musical selections were: Misses Day
Driskill, Cranberry, Weller, Waggener
Gibson, Todd, Sampson, Meriwether, Will
liams, Shelley, Teagarden, Harrison and
Brady, all of whom acquitted themselves
in splendid style. The music, which was
the main feature of the occasion, was in
terspersed with some choice literary
selections, including Rotations by Misses
Nettie Williams, Katie Thornton, Leila
Acker and Annie Withers, and Shakespe-
rian burlesque, which was charmingly
acted by Misses Day, Williams, Shelley,
Palm and Barron.
Handsome medals were presented to
Miss Mamie Robinson and Miss Grace
Harrison, each with pretty addresses and
somewhat imposing ceremonies on the
part of their schoo!mates. Miss Georgia
Sampson was awarded the medal in Miss
Downies art class, and Miss Sallie Todd
a fine book, as souvenier for good con-
duct.
In the medal presentations brief but
beautiful addresses were made by Misses
Myrick, Rector, Robinson, Ottley, Little,
Harrison and Meriwether.
The recitations were all in good style,
rejecting great credit upon the teacher of
elocution, Miss Powell.
The art specimens exhibited in the hall
during the day also reflect high credit
upon the art teacher.

The International Suit.

Judge TONNES is away, but it is gen
orally understood that he has made up his
decision in the international railroad
suit, and that his opinion has been pre-
pared and is now in the hands of the
type writers, who are making careful
copy. 1t is said to be very clear and
comprehensive document, and sustains
nearly every material allegation made by
the encouragement. If this be true,
and THE STATESMAN has no good reason to
doubt it, the charter and franchises of
the company will be forfeited, and it may
go into the hands of receiver, as asked
for by the encouragement. The deci-
sion in full will probably be given to the
public Wednesday or Thursday. In the
meantime able gentlemen who may desire
to act as receivers can remain at home
aud keep cool.
