GOV. ChurCh ana Col. Gale, or Da

Gov. Church, of Dakota, was at the
Palmer yesterday, says the Chicago
Times, and returned by way of st. Paul
last night. When asked about the ad-
mission of Dakota as a state he said:
81 am decidedly in favor of it. The
question ought to stand alone and not be
complicated with other territorial ad-
missions. Dakota is entitled to admis-
sion ON her merits. She has popula-
tion of SOC, 900 as bright, Intelligent and
refined people as can be found in any OF
the eastern states. Could the eastern
states realize this, were they fully
acquainted with our surroundings
and the development of the territory,
the solution of the problem would come
quickly. With population of 500, 1000
we must have large number of chill
dren needing proper educational facili-
ties, which they cannot obtain under q
territorial form of government, and this
alone should insure admission. While
we have five public institutions OF learn
ing, built and supported at great ex-
pense by the territory, and many other
public schools of a local nature, yet in
our territorial condition we are de-
prived of many facilities which we
would have as state.
For instance, we do not get our
quota OF public lands, like Kansas, Ne
braska and other western states. To
indicate our prosperity, let me say that
in June last we negotiated territorial
bonds at Al per cent, which was better
than Minnesota or two-thirds of the
states could do. This speaks volumes
for the territory"
"Are you in favor of admission as a
single state?"

that should not use my influence in a
matter that belongs purely to the peo-
pie; but as said in my report TO the

TWENTY-oNE WORDS IN ONE.
Why Shorthand Is a Very Difficult
Lesson to Learn.


Lesson to Learn.
Mail and Express: 'How long does
1t take to learn shorthandw
''That depends upon yourself and
what degree of proficiency you expect
to acquire" replied court stenogra-
pher to a young reporter during lull
in supreme court trial one day this
week.
"How long does it take to become a
court reporter?"
''From one to three years. To be a
perfect tstenographer-and absolute per-
fection can be attained in shorthand
writing-takes time. A man who can
write as fast as any man can talk, and
can read his notes as plainly as print, is
perfect. To do this he must have writ
ten almost every word in ordinary
use, and become familiar with its out
lines. A man must be able to do this to
be a court reporter. For often thou
sands OF dollars depend upon the correct
reading of a sentence. Take, foran-
stance the characters sd" and st." They
are represented by q perpendicular
stroke something like the letter -
They are distinguished one from the
other by the slightness or heavlness of
the stroke. In different positions on,
above or below the line they mean dit

easily mistake the character for what,

this how necessary precision is, and how
carefully trained writer must be. II

can learn the art in six months, il you

rule, however, stenography is as diff

DISGUISED AS A TRAMP.
A Wealthy Californian's Peculiar
Visit to His Faithless Lady Love.


Atlanta (Ga.) special to the Globe
Democrat: One day last week a tramp,
about fifty years of age, called at the
residence OF one of the most prominent
citizens of this county, and while eat.
ing the meal which the lady prepared
for him, asked her several questions
which aroused her curiosity greatly.
At last, overcome by emotion, she asked
him: "Are you Henry Miller?'
The old man looked at her moment
and replied:
I'VE had better leave our knowledge
of each other where it is"
In Hampton, where the tramp changed
his attire for one becoming man in
prosperity, he told the story of his life.
He was the son of the late Judge Mil
ler, whose recent death was announced.
He entered the confederate army at the
age of eighteen. Before leaving, how
ever. he had final meeting with
Elaine Marsten, the daughter of a
neighbor, and they vowed unceasing
fealty for each other. When the war
closed Henry received information that
his lady love had proven faithless and
married another. Henry, therefore,
went west aud sought to forget his past,
He met with success, but finally felt
longing to revisit the old scenes, es-
pecially as he had heard that ELAINE
was widow. To test her he decided to
appear as tramp and see what kind of
reception he would receive. The dis
coyery during his conversation with
her, however, that her husband was
still living, disarranged the object of
his visit, and hence his abrupt depart
ure. He has returned 70 his home in
California, and says he viii never re-
turn to Georgia.
