"You must-you mustl For the love OF

frantically pushing him toward the gate.
Allen Gray was bravo and chivalric. Not
even 10 save his own life would he leave her
IN distress, exposed 10 some terrible, un-
known danger. He was wholly unarmed
and unprcparcd 10 meet any danger, great
or small, but he was willing TO face death
itself for her sake.
az can not COL will not go and leave
you In distress and danger" he answered,
In voice low, but full OF determination.

any thing that can bcfall me. Go, 80, gol

"No, no, mol in che name Of oil the holy
saints ask nothing OF me; do not attempt 10
delve into the depths OF this terrible mys-
terry, but go-go at once.n The girl was
weeping and sobbing as II her heart would
break, and Allen, realizing that his pres
ence added to her distress, sprang over the
wall and went into the wood near tho gar
den
For O long time he fingered about the mys-
terious old stone house. He climbed tree,
and watched it until the moon rose. But q
few moments after that first blood-curdling
shrek had burst upon the air the mansion
became dark and silent as the tomb. Not q
sound was heard after Allen had leaped tho
wall and quilted the grounds.
When the moon rose, there was an air OF
quiet serenity about the old house that
gave 1t the appearance Of peaceful home.
Flowers in the garden were nodding
their perfumed heads In the evening
breeze, fountains were playing merr1ly, the
waters sparkling in the moonlight, and all
signs Of excitement and terror gone In
VAN he looked for the beautiful girl, she
was nowhere to besccn. She had doubtless
retired within the walls Of that gloomy old
house. Allen descended from his perch in
the tree top and returned to the village.
HIS mind was harrassed ten times more
than before. The vision Of that beautiful
form, perfectly radiant in her distress and
tears, was constantly in his mind. Those
fearful eyes seemed appealing from some
deep unknown distress which he dared not
fathom.
Sleep was q stranger to his eyes that
night. AS he tossed restlessly upon his
bed, In the anguish Of his soul he cried
"Oh Bertha-Bcrthu-c not-inay

Never until he had seen her in tears did

tive Mansion and at the reviewing stand
beggar description. A surging mass of
humanity covered the sidewalk on either
side of the street. Every window in
every hotel, store and residence on both
sides of the wide thoroughfare was
crowded with people, and on the scores
of stands erected at street corners and
little parks along the route, thousands of
people stood sheltering themselves with
seemingly acres of umbrellas from the
petering rain and cheering themselves
hoarse as the presidential party and par
ticularly brilliantly caparisned horsemen
or splendidly uniformed military and
civic organizations passed by. The
march from the capitol to the White
House was one continual
OVATION TO THE NEW PRESIDENT
and it is safe to say that quarter of a
million people watched and waited and
cheered him as he passed along. At
Fifteenth street the procession was
halted, and the carriages containing the
president and vice president made de-
tour through the treasury grounds and
then
TO THE EXECUTIVE MANSION.
A light lunch was waiting the presiden-

Among those who sat down besides the
president and vice president, were Mr..
Cleveland, Mrs. Harrison, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mckee, Mr.. and Mrs. Russell Harrison,
Mrs. Saunders and several others. The
party were at luncheon only Is minutes.
After bidding Mr.. Cleveland good bye,
the president, leaning on the arm Of his
son Russell, proceeded to the reviewing
stand in front of the mansion,
accompanied by the vics-president, the
congressional committee, and the sur
vivors of the Seventeen Indiana regi-
ment. AS the president stepped on the
stand, cheer after cheer arose from the
multitude and the former responded by
tipping his hat. The word to march was
again sounded and Benjamin Harrison
watched the great retinue of soldiery
and citizens that had followed him from
the capitol to the Executive Mansion
file past the reviewing stand for nearly
four hours. During this time he re-

HOUSE.
The morning session of the house was
given up to the introduction of bills,
thirty in all being offered for con-
sideration.
AT the request OF q number of temper
ance people mir. L. G. Stevens presented
bill which is designed 10 enforce the
liquor laws. 1t prolia that any one
found selling or giving away liquor in
any pTChit:to"y te:liyugy of the state
may be pUni5:.p.t IUr the first otfense
with both tine ri from $40 TO 500 and
Imprisonment Iot thirry days, together
with costs Of prosecution. Tho second
offense may Ee punished by both fine of
from $500 to 5000 and imprisonment
from one year to five years, with costs.
The burden of proof rests with the &C
cused, who must show that any liquor
found in his possession Is not to be sold
or given away.
MIR. Hoyt introduced bill applying to
endowment insurance companies. 1t
makes it harder to organize the compan-
les, making it necessary for them to have
at least $50 applicants for insurance ag-
gregating $4,000, of which at least per
cent. must be paid in for mortuary pur-
poses.
The afternoon session was devoted to
the passage of bills on the calendar, of
which there were thirty-eight. About
half of them were disposed of without
debate.
When the Sevatson interest bill was
reached on the calendar, 3r. Hanke was
ready with several amendments. Mr..
II. F. Stevens had some others, which,
if incorporated into the hill, would allow
persons TO charge per cent. commission
in addition to the regular interest. 1t
makes it penal o:IcI,e to charge more
than this. Referred to SIR. Sevatson and
Stevens.
The following were among the senate
bills passed:
To amend the seed grain law.
Authorizing each township in Polk
county to support its own poor.
The house tiles that were passed were
as follows:
To incorporate the city of Tower.
To amend general statutes in relation

Impressive Social Gathering
in American History.

WASHINGTON. March 5.-The climax
of the great events of the day was the
grand bali at the pension building. In
all its conditions it was the most i'm
pressive social gathering in the history
Of this, or perhaps any other country.
The colossal grandeur Of the apartment,
the bewildering beauty of the decora-
tions, the blazing brilliancy of the illu-
mination, and the enormous throngs Of
Buperbly dressed men and women, made
a scene that in turn delighted, dazzled
and entranced the beholder. The pen
sion building court, with its acre of
dancing floor, was beautifully garlanded
with flags and flowers. In the center
stood two story Japanese pagoda. The
lower part of the structure was groto
built of rocks and firms. The first floor
was occupied by the Germania orchestra
of 100 Philadelphia performers, who
played the dance music. Above them,
on the second floor, the marine band was
stationed. Under the direction of Band
master Sousa it furnished the music for
the promenaders. The unique structure
was ablaze with lights and parti-colored
streamers, and on it's top, in letters of
fire. was the word, CONSTITUTION. The
eight great central pillars of the court
were entwined with laurels and bunting.
The surface fronts of the galleries were
festooned with the national colors, and
in the spaces between were placed alter
nately silver plated armor, mounted in
plush, and the coat of arms of all the
states and nations. Carved eagles, trim
med with flags, surmounted the coat of
arms. The face of the galleries and the
seventy-siX supporting Corinthean col
umns were decorated with great gar
lands of laurel. Suspended from the
gallery were series of panels, five feet
by ten, each made of flowers and each
symbolizing department of the govern
ment. The navy was indicated by man
of war, the interior by
LOG CABIN AND NEWLY FELLED TREE;
the agricultural by a plow and sheaf of
grain: the postofice by mail bag and
envelope-duly stamped, postmorked
and addressed, all in flowers, to "Ben-
iamin Harrison, Washington, D. c."
the department of justice by an open
desk, an open law book, bearing the in
scription, Fiat Justitia," with the en-
blematical scales. Mounted cannon and
cannon balls were the insignia of the
war department. The treasury was
represented by large safe. The state
department panel bore large open book
with the words, CONSTITUTION" and

SENATE.

SENATE.
The most entertaining incident in con-
nection with the senate proceedings was
the introduction by Air. Day of bill
proposing a constitutional amendment
which will restore the Gid system of sixty
days sessions for the legislature. 1t is
the opinion of the reform members of
! the senate that the legislature can do up
all its work inside Of couple of months
if it is so disposed. :
Mr.. Stevens interest bill was reported
back by that gentle man with the recon-
mendation that it pass without amend
ment. Mr.. II. F. Stevens reported
substitute allowing agents to charge 3
per cent. commission in addition to the
interest. Voted down. The question
was then taken On the passage of the
original bill, and it was carried by the
narrow majority of 90 to IS.
Among the bills that passed was the
house bill, as amended, proposing an
amendment to the constitution declaring
that five-sixths of the members of Jury
is a sufficient number to determine civil
suits. The much contested Canada this
tie bill was turned over to Senator Eaton.
A discussion OH timber culture fol-
lowed. House file 1856, relating to the
encouragement of higher education,
which provides for the appointment of
secretary to the board Of education, met
with opposition from Senators Bowen
and Pope, and was sent to the judiciary
committee. Senate file 270, relating to
banks and banking, requiring that all
private banks shall use the word "pri-
vate" on their signs, letter heads, checks,
etc.. to distinguish them from incorpor-
ated banks, brought forth an animated
discussion, in the midst of which the
senate adjourned.
BILLS PAssED.-To propose an amend
ment to section 4, article 1, of the con-
stitution, to provide that only fve-sixths
of jury will be required to determine
civil actions.
To authorize and declare the effect of
certified copies of deeds.
To legalize records in the offices of
registers of deeds.
To validate and confirm assignment of
judgments made by the state auditor.
To amend the law relating to the So
ciety for the prevention of cruelty.
To regulate the sale of lands by relig-
ious corporations.
Many other bills of purely local in
terest.
HOUSE.
Just before adjournment, Mr.. FL. F.
Stevens bill making three fourths YER
dict sufficient in civil cases, came back
from the senate with an amendment
substituting five-sixths for three-fourths.
Mr.. Stevens accepted the amendment
and the bill was again passed. Messrs.
Barr, Dunn, Fleming, Halgren, Hanson,
Husher, Lassow, Maland and Merz vot-
ing against it.
Mr.. Heidemann sent up bundle of
81 petitions from various parts of the
state, demonstrating against the submis-
sion of constitutional prohibition. Be-
sides these there were fifteen others with
2,o47 signatures, all claiming to be legal
voters of the state. This is straw.
Mr.. Willrich secured the passage of
resolution requiring any committee
which determines to report back any
measure adversely, to inform the author
of the bill of their decision before making
the report.

THE LINE OF MARCH.

Fully Forty Thousand Men Tramp
Through the Rain TO the Music Of o
Thousand Bands.
AS the president and ex-president
drove out from the carriage entrance Of
the senate wing of the capitol, the head
of the procession appeared in the great
open space in front of the east portico
and joining it at the head of the line, the
presidential party was driven down
Pennsylvania avenue and to the Execu-
tive Mansion. Meantime the procession
began to uncoil from the side streets on
Capitol Hill. 1t was of huge proportions.
The rain had not interfered with the en-
thusiasm or the patriotism of the mill
tary and civic organizations who had
come to Washington for the parade.
Fully 10000 men marched in the rain
to the music of 1000 bands down the
broad avenue between the lines of cheer
ing people. The stands on the avenue
We're not we'll filled, but there was Q
dense crowd. The windows were
crowded and the covered balconies were
all full. Occasionally head peered over
the edge of the roof of some tall build
ing. At the head of the column rode
the grand marshal, Gen. James A. Bea-
Yer, and his chief Of staff, Gen. Daniel
E. Hastings.

and imprisonment without discretion as
to fine for the third and subsequent
offense.
When Mr.. Days bill on the oil inspec-
torship came up on general orders in the
senate that gentleman had an amend
ment inserted limiting the fee compensa-
ton of deputy inspectors to $4,000 year
but Mr.. Bowen still maintained that the
only way to dispose of the question was
to abolish the Office. The bin was placed
on the calendar, recommended for pas
sage.

Mr.. Durant put in joint resolution
declaring the administration of President
Cleveland wise and patriotic recogni-
ton of the interests of the people of the
republic. Two or three senator's gave
notice of debate, and Mr.. Compton had
something to say about supreme gall
MI Ward said he could not vote for any
such resolution. In his opinion all the
acts Of President Cleveland had been
dramatically opposed to the best inter-
ests of the country. The resolution went
over under the notice. Mr.. Day then
put in one declaring the sympathy of
the senate with the Democratic members
in their grief occasioned by the fall of
the Democratic party from power, and
proposing an adjournment as mark of
sympathy. Mr.. Durant jumped up and
gave notice of debate. Mr.. Brown moved
a recess of thirty minutes in order that
senators might have an opportunity to
"reioice with those who do rejoice, and
weep with those who weep" 1t was
found, however, that the senate had
completed all the work of the session,
and an adjournment instead of a recess
was taken.

Monday, March 4.


The house spent most of the afternoon
on general orders. Mr.. Crossfeld's bill
to amend the school law so that the term
instead of five, and making the time of
attendance of each pupil to receive the
state apportionment twenty days instead
of forty, as at present, was the subject of
more than an hours debate. The bill
was finally recommended to pass as in
troduced. Mr.. Ell. F. Stevens two bills,
requiring corporations to pay fees into
the state treasury and providing for an
nual fees, were recommended to pass.
Mr.. Elmquist's bill regulating contracts
for railroad grading, Mr.. Farley's for the
regulation of fishing in Spring lake,
Scott county, Mr.. McNelly s for bridge
across the Mississippi, Mr.. Williams
amending the statutes relating to corpo-
rations, also were recommended without
stlebate. So
After the introduction of a few bills
the house again took up general orders,
MIR. Eastman in the chair. Mr.. Ives bill
to modify the contract for publishing
Minnesota reports was slightly amended
and then recommended to pass. Mr..
Lightly's bill to forfeit the grant of the
Duluth and Winnipeg was next on the
orders, followed by Mr.. Roberts bill
waving the forfeiture. Finally a mo-
ton to indefinitely postpone was carried
overwhelmingly. The bill waving the

another long debate was recommended
to pass. The committee then arose and
the report was adopted.
BILLS PASSED. Relating to the fish
ways of the counties of Fillmore and
Houston.

SENATE.
Mr.. Scheffer's bill to punish drunken
ness gave rise to second discussion in
the senate. Mr.. Davis claimed that the
bill was broad guage measure in the
interests of practical temperance. 1t
tended to make drunkenness disreputa-
BILE, and that without discrimination as
to persons. Messrs. Bowen, Brown and
Ives had word to say in favor of the
bill, and Mr.. Scheffer read letter from
Ex-Governor McGill warmly endorsing
the measure. AT the close Of the debate
it was recommended for. passage. The
bill in ITS present form proposes for fine
or imprisonment for the first two drupks,

What Leading Journals Say of the Pres

What Leading Journals Say of the Pres
ident's inaugural.
New YORK, March 5.-The Journal Of
Commerce says: Gas whole the in
augural will be received with unlimited
acclammation by the entire body of his
own party, and it's frankness and candor
will be ne less heartily admired by those
who were counted in the ranks Of the
opposition. They know just what to
expect from the victorious occupants Of
the place of authority"
The Herald regards it as the deliver
ance of sincere and extremely clear
minded man, and says there will be no
shilly shally foreign policy.
The Tribune says: tdThe inaugural
address will be criticised angrily by
those whose heresies or misdeeds it re-
Dukes. The president will not have to
conplain, as DR.. johnson once did, that
his speech had not been sufficiently at
tackled, adding, 81 never think have
hit hard unless it rebounds But the
strong and patriotic appeal Of Che presi-
dent will go to the hearts and the COM
victions of the, American people, and
will produce results hereafter"
Morris tribune., 1889-03-06
Four-Year Terms for County
Officers.

St. Paul Dispatch: There is now bill
before the legislature, introduced by Rep
resentative Crossfeld, relating to the
terms of all county officers, which ought
to commend itself to all who desire the
promotion of good local government,
A valuable end which is certain to he
accomplished by the passage of this bill,
is the alienation in office of the county
treasurer and county auditor. An audi
tor and county treasurer coming into
Office together, without perhaps even a
rudimentary knowledge possessed hy
either, of single or double entry book
keeping, are public characters of vast
possibil1ties-in the direction of harm.
Without aid from some quarter, they
usually are about as we'll qualified to adj
minister local finances as they are to
teach Sanscrit, and they necessarily con-
tinue in that condition for many weary
months after their installation. They
will have just reached the point where
they have learned something of each
others functions and methods, and of
their respective obligations and duties,
when the day of official Judgment dawns
and they are called upon to yield up a
trust which in great majority of cases
they have been dilligent and faithful in
the administration of. The election of
one of these two officials each alternate
two years, as provided by this law, would
remedy this additional absurdity. Tie
extension of their terms respectively for
four years, represents the only other ad-
ditional precaution practicable in the
public interest and consistent with peri
odical accountability to the people.
In other and older states law with
like provisions is in satisfactory opera
ton. The officers who hold over become
thoroughly acquainted with their several
duties and are enabled to impart much
useful information to the incoming Off
Gals which aids and improves the public
service.
We believe that the intelligent public
sentiment of the several counties of the
state favors the enactment of Mr.. Cross
fields measure.
