GOVERNOR MELLETTE
Receives a Reception at Oakes !

Receives q Reception at Oalzes !
Parties in the city being advised
that Governor Mellette would arrive
on the North Western passenger
last night on his way to Bismarck,
a large delegation Of citizens, head
ed by the Gate City Band, were in
waiting at the Union Depot, and on
the arrival Of the Governors train.
He was taken charge of by COM
mittee who escorted him to the pop
ular Vinkle, where supper was serv-
ed, the Band playing during the
time on Railroad Avenue. Owing
to the short time between trains no
public demonstration was had. The

modest reception. He in company
with his private secretary, Mr.. Wins
low, left over the N. P. passenger

When the Revolution had broken out he
was 90, and still at Valence lie embraced the
popular side. During l7o2, being in Paris, no
was particularly impressed by tho insurrcc-
tons of June aud AUGUST When he saw the
mob enter tho Tuileries by force and compel
Louis XVI TO show himself mt the window
with a red liberty cap on his head, he re-
marked: at Il all over with that poor fellow.
How few cannon, loaded with grape shot,
would have dispersed those miserable scoun-
drelsl This clearly denotes his understand
ing OF tho Fronch aud bis Judgment as a sol
disr. Three years later he acted out his opiu.
Ion and demonstrated its soundness. If he
had been called upon earlier TO suppress riot
and faction in that city, hc would unques-
tionaby have done it, and shortened tho Rev
oluton 10y thrco years. He was tho one man
above all others to deal with u mob.

We're regarded as their leaders. They and
Paoli differed widely as to politics, though
they were personally attached to him He
was soon opposed to the national convention,

A FORTY FOOT GUN.

The gun carriages are also very differ
ent from those used twenty.four years
ago. They are Of steel and are worked
by machinery more complicated than
was required to drive the first steamboat.
The guns are moved by machinery. both
elevated and depressed. and run in and
out. They are loaded by machinery both
with the charge and tho shot or shell,
and when loaded are often now fred by
electricity. Besides all this there are
often great cy finders placed at the breech,
filled with water or air or glycerine to
stop the recoil. For power to work all
this machinery compressed air or hy-
draulic power and sometimes steam is
used.
One method Of noting the size Of the
war ship Of the present day is to compare
the smokestacks with sailor Of ordi-
nary size. These enormous tunnels rise
TO the height Of the masts Of some ves-
sells and in circumference resemble
California pine. But that which is least
realized ordinarily is the immensely Of
the screw. The power used is equal to
100 locomotives. Each 6ange of the
screw is longer than u tall man. 1t is
all very well to start vessel with such
a screw and keep her going, but another
thing to stop her, for ono Of these levi
athans cannot be stopped in less than a
mile. Two screws and two sets Of ma.
chinery are now usually put in. The
machinery may DO made lighter and is
consequently more easily repaired. Be-
sides, with the twin system the draught
of vessel need not be SO great
In iron ships the mast has actually be.
como watch tower. There is a system
now wherein powerful electric light
may be concentrated and thrown in any
direction. Vessels ON clear night may
be detected at distance of two or three
miles. A person on ship upon which
cruiser would bring to bear one of
these reflectors would feel like ono sud-
denly illuminated by the bulls eye of a
policeman.
Tho ram and the torpedo are both
novelties in war ships Of today. The
ram is formed by curving tho cutwater
outward to point under water. 1t Is
usually made of steel or bronze and
made as strong as possible. To give ad-
ditional strength the protective plates are
carried down into the point. Wherever
