day, Mr.. Geo. NJ. Palmer delivered an

The Register makes very excellent
plea in favor Of increasing the facilities
of the Jail by putting the jury rooms into
use as part of the Jail, and giving sepa'
rate apartments to the male and female
prisoners, and any youths and boys that
may be locked up. The only thing TO
which We could take exception is the
reference to the prisoners in the SEN
. tence "these rooms should be SO ar
ranged that lady prisoners can be Kept
entirely out of sight and hearing of the
gentlemen" 1t is hardly 10 be sup
posed that the sheriff will ever have &C.
casion to lock up ''ladies" and gentle
men,"
Hon. J. l. Stokes, of Rolla, OAK,
who has just been appointed receiver of
public money of the Grand Forks North
Oak. land office, and family have been
stopping at Lake Madison a short time
with Mrs. J. NJ. Barclay, who is sister
of Mrs. 5. Mr.. Stokes is Pennsylva-
MAN, and was formerly resident of
Beaver, Pa, and was two terms register
and receiver of the county, and four
years chief clerk of the state insurance
department, but owing to poor health
went to Dakota in 1852, and has been
farming on an extensive scale. His ap-
pointment will be credit to the admin
istration, and a fitting tribute to his
stAunch Republicanism and worthy
character, over which his many friends
will rejoice.
MIR. p. V. Collins, editor of the St.
PeterTrib,me, and Miss Mary G. Rhoades,
one Of the conductors ofthe State Teach
ers' institute. were quietly married at
st. Peter Yesterday at the home OF j. n.
Treadwell, vice-president First National
bank. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. William Wallace, pastor of the
Presbyterian church. Mr.. and Mrs. Col
Inns left for Minneapolis on a short we'd
ding tour. We extend our congratula-
tons to Bro. Collins. This was a step
which We knew 80 conscientious young
man as he was sure to take sooner or
later. His bride was formerly teacher
in the ST. Peter schools, and the newly
welded pair have our heartiest good
wishes.
The examination ofthe three tramps
who are charged with attempting to
break into B. Kohler's store some time
ago occupied the time ofthe police court
to-day. Mr.. Kohler, his two sons,
Night-watchman Henlein, Chief Fow-
Ter and Eric Erickson were called as
witnesses. The case was not finished
until this afternoon. No new facts
were brought out. A large bag which
the tramps dropped when they left the
premises was offered in evidence. They
had probably intended 10 fill it with sto-
len goods. When the state rested they
waived further examination and were
bound over to the next grand jury and
we're committed to Jail in default of $500
bail each. w. E. Young is their at
tornev.
The annual convention in Judson of
the Welsh Calvanistic Methodists, COM
menCing Tuesday evening and ending
last evening, was attended by some 800
persons and was great success. 1t was
a district convention and included all of
Minnesota and Dakota. Owing to the
bad weather a portion of the sessions
had to be held in church, which could
scarcely accommodate half the people.
The grove where the remaining sessions
of the convention were held was well
filed. Several ministers newly arrived
from Wales were there, which lent in
terest to the occasion. Nearly all those
of Welsh prochvities in this city attend
ed the convention.
MIR. B. F. Davis, of this city, and
we'll known throughout this and adjoin-
ing counties, received letter from Mrs.
Davis sister regarding the Pennsylvania
food and her escape from the ravages
thereof, and the following extracts will
be interesting. After relating that she
was cared for at Morrellville hospital
until able to get around, but having lost
every article of clothing and all her
household utensils she was compelled to
accept the invitation of relatives to come
west, she says:
