POSTAL HEADQUARTERS.

What the Eleventh Postal Division viii Mean
for Fort Worth
Fort Worth has cause TO wish Uncle
Sam happy New Year, for he viii do
much for this city in 1889. Fort Worth
is a railroad center and therefore it is that
headquarters of postal division II were
located here. On February %, 1888,
congress passed an act creating two new
divisions, the eleventh to comprise the
states of Louisiana, Arkansas and
Texas and the Indian Territory. G.. w.
Hunter was appointed superintendent and
on November 10, established headquar-
tiers in the City National Bank building.
The business of the superintendent is to
distribute forward and dispatch all rail-
way mail. The order from Washington
which made the change reads:

How the Change was Made.

Sioux Falls Press: "Man -who-was.
There" gives The Press some interesting
particulars of Gov. Mellette's introduc.
ton into the gubernatorial Office.
The governor reached Watertown
Tuesday afternoon, took the oath OF
Office Wednesday, started Thursday
morning for Bismarck, where he arrived
Friday forenoon. The formal oath taken
on Wednesday, was placed in his grip
sack, to be fled with the secretary at
Bismarck. But that gripsack was lost
somewhere on the road-probably ex-
changed by some needy patriot W no act
ed as volunteer escort to his eNcellency
This necessitated the governor making
another oath to support the constitution
the organic act, the Sioux reservation
opening act; the gross earnings law, etc
After the governor had dined down
town he quietly trudged up to the capi
tai. while George Walsh, Judge Rose

ernor was ready to take the reins of gov
ernment, Church expressed much pleas
ure in being relieved of his veto mill and
notarial perquisites.
While this informal conversation was
IN progress, E. G. Smith of Yankton, and
Maj. Hamilton of Grand Forks, stepped
into Secretary McCormacks office and
insisted on his crossing the hall and see
ing Mellette sworn in. Mccormack de-
INJURED, but the republican boys almost
compelled him to go. By this time Gov.
Mellette and Judge Rose were standing
three feet apart, facing each other,
Church was near them, George Walsh
was leaning on the letter press, Smith
sat on Il window and Hamilton was close
to Walsh; Tom Church was standing
back of his father and intently watching
his clerkship slipping from him.
Judge Rose administered the oath and
Mellette replied in strong voice, II
will"
That ended it. Church was out, Mel
lette was in. But Church was clipper.
After congratulating Mellette he picked
up his bat and placed it jauntly on his
head, threw his overcoat over his arm,
said good bye to all present, and went
out of the door saying, "The Lord be
merc1ful to poor miserable sinner" and
thus retired from the place he had occu-
pied for just twenty-five months.

Fire at Grand Rapids.

The La Moure Chronicle gives the
following account of the fire by which
Washington Lenhart and family lost
their home in Grand Rapids early Sun
day morning; Mr.. Lenhart and son had
gone to LaMoure the previous day and
accompanied M. Fitzgerald home for the
night, so that Mrs. L. and daughter were
the only occupants of the house at the
time of the fire. The former had been
suffering with her eyes and Miss Lenhart
had prepared poultice, starting up the
fire in the hard coal stove in the parlor,
off the bedroom, to heat the mixture. In
returning to bed she closed the door
between the rooms. When next awaken
ed the ladies found their room full OF
smoke, and on opening the door into the
parlor discovered the fire breaking
through the ceiling from the upper part
Of the house which proved to be in flames.
They were enabled to seize only a few
necessary garments and some bed clothes.
and though fine new organ was rolled
to the door they had to see it 60. for the
ceiling fell in and prevented further
efforts to save it. Mrs. Lenhart was
obliged to walk to neighbours in her
bare feet. The smoke and the efforts to
awaken neighbors injured the ladies
considerably, especially Mrs. Lenhart,
and Dr. Moxley was called to prescribe
for her. Herself and daughter are now
with MIR and Mrs Fitzgerald, Mr. Len
i! hart's house was insured for 5000 in the
| Commercial Union Insurance Co., and
the furniture for $3.50 in the Hartford
| The house cost 1915 five years ago, be-
sides all the carpenter work which was
done personally by Mr.. Lenhart. The
furniture was considered worth $40.
The loss is deeply regretted by the many
| friends of the Lenhart family, but AL
| rejoice that there was insurance On both
house and furniture. and that all the
loss does not fall on the owners of the
property. The fire originated in the
second story, where clothes hung up to
| dry are supposed to have been placed
too near the overheated stovepipe.

when change of cars was made at Ellis
worth, and having Oh his silk travelling
cap he did not miss the gubernatorial
tile until too late to rescue it. His friends
who had left on the outbound train tc
meet him, learned of his mishap and re-
allied that travelling cap was not suffic-
iently dignihed to cover the head of a
governor at public reception; they asked
Conductor Shoup to hold the train to
Palmer, the first station east of the city,
while they wired F. w. Hoyt,the clothier,
to send silk hat to the depot on arrival
Of the train. The hat arrived just before
the governor stepped upon the platform,
and no one in the vast multitude was the
wiser for the m1shap.

Masonic.

The Royal Arch Masons put team
through the chapter Tuesday, and after
wards the members parteok of a banquet.
These banquets are usually given in the
lodge banquet hall, but on this occasion
the more commodious Gladstone dining
room was called into requisition, and a
spread provided such as only the man.
agement Of this hotel knows how to pre-
pare. Plates were laid forforty. The
dining room was arranged very neatly.
The tables were placed in the form OF a
cross, and at the intersection there was a
pyramid of flowers. Those who were
fortunate enough to partake in the fes-
tivities, are unanimous on the point that
it was an unqualified success.
Representative Masons from Oakes,
Bismarck and Valley City were present.

the selection of delegates to the constitu.

"Ihat is an important work. It will
| require much care and labor. [ will
probably give 1T my immediate attention
in order that the division may be made
in time for the proclamation ordering the
election, which will be April 18th, by vir-
tue OF the provisions of the omnibus bill "
In regard to appointments and appli-
cations therefor, Gov. Mellette said: My
mail is laden with letters from men want
ing Office for themselves or their friends.
[ have already received upwards of 500
such letters and expect to find nearly as
many more waiting for me when l reach
Bismarck. The applicants will all be
listed and their claims duly considered.
The appointments will be made with a
due regard to location, and with a vlaw
to solidifying and strengthening the re-
publican party. The claims of both
North and Sodth Dakota will be weighed
and each section fairly treated"
''The telegraph says positively that
Sioux Falls will be given the treasurer
ship and that j. NJ. Bailey will be the
man. Are you of the same mind?
II would not be at all surprised if
Sioux Falls did get it, There are plenty
of good capable men there, and Mr..
Bailey is one of them. He is a young
man of remarkable push and energy. He
is self-made man and. although still in
the twenties, is president of a strong
bank and wealthy man. He has man
aged his own fortune of half a million,
judiciously, and could no doubt handle
the territorial moneys satisfactorily
"Governor, you have spent some weeks
in the east lately, what effect do you
think the sure prospect Of statehood will
have on our our material interests?"
"The effect already perceptible, is Won
derful. Why, year ago Dakota man
could 90 east and be unnoticed. Now
he is sought after, the newspapers are
anxious to interview him. and the people
all want some information about our
country. Statehood inaugurates new
era in our financial as well as our politi-
cal existence"
In conclusion, the governor said that
he had never visited Bismarck; James
town was as far as he had gone into
North Dakota. He feared that the peo-
pie of North Dakota would look upon
him as carpet -bagger coming into their
midst, and that he did in truth feel some
what like a stranger going among strange
people. He said his term of Office would
be short, and that he hoped the people
would be charitable for he would not
have long to stay. In fact he pleasantly
remarked to the LaMoure pelple, when
they greeted him with cheers upon his
appearance, that he believed this circum-
stance to be the secret Of his seeming
popularity. With reference to the poll
cy of his administration, he said that he
would be governor Of all Dakota, and
should endeavor to administer the affairs
of the Office for the bsst interests Of all
its people.
