mistake in opposing the proposition be-
fore the city council to grant a fran

committee, take the ground that there
should be no more granting of a fran

UNITED STATES SIGNAL OFFICE, June 8
1SS9-For the week ending to-day, only
an occasional shower of rain was reported
TO have fallen over that portion OF tins state
mainly comprising the rainsheds OF the MIN
nesota and upper Mississippi rivers, so that
no increase in depth of water in these
streams need be expected the fore part OF
this week. Tracy and Fergus Falls had no
rain; Fort Ripley had II; Alexandra hau

WESTERN COLLEGES.

A paper published in the venerable
shades of Harvard college looks
through it's classic glasses out to Da-
kota, and observes with jealous amaze
ment mo less than twelve colleges of
the UNCONVENTIONAL order in active oper-
alton, which is more than any two Of
the states can boast Of" and then, with
some nasal elevation, adds: 'Fresh
water colleges are cultivated in the far
West almost as easily as field of
wheat" Whether the distinction drawn
is between fresh and salt water. or water
as a beverage and the more common po-
tations about Boston, is left for con-
lecture. There need be 10 disparage-
ment of Dakota OF other Western col
leges. They may not pierce the UNI
movable with the philosophic skill of
the Athenians, and their athletes may
not swing the oar or bore the nose in
the most ancient and artistic manner;
but in the practical spheres of life they
furnish equipment quite as noticeable
as institutions century or two older.
1t may be conceded, however, that it is
a little difficult in Dakota to discover
any special vacuum of the collegiate
sort that yawns to be filled.

Red sunset arches glow.

The blue black swallow sweeping by,
Cuts, like an unexpected thought

Life is very sweet just now

With the music of the birds,
Happy hours beguiling.

Sweet in spite Of rain or clouds,

whether it really played any part in the
administration. 1t has recently as

compelled the cutting down of the
queens housemaids from ten to four,
and reduced the wages Of the four,
making saving of about 500 year.
The hundreds of high-priced, orna-

PROBABLY some are not aware that
there are truly good professionals in the
national game; that is, those who won't
play ball Oh Sunday and say bad words
if they do stop the ball with their nose
occasionally. The Pittsburg nine has all
outfielder Of this character. He talks
to the Y. Nj. c. A. and other religious
gatherings on Sunday, and possibly he
is good because his name is SUNDAY.
In New York he addressed the Y. M. Z.
A., and told them that God loved to see
man in earnest in any business or
athletic sport. He is reputed great
runner of bases himself. That is one
virtue that generally attaches to the
game. A man not active and earnest
is just as likely to come short of the
goal as in the games that st. Paul took
so much interest in.
