IT WILL NEVER BE KNOWN
Which One of the Dakotas Was Ad-
mitted First.

Efforts have been made recently to
establish the priority of admission
into the Union of one of the Dakotas
1t now transpHes that no one knows
which was admitted first. On Sat
urday the President received from
the State Department the two pro-
clamations, deficient only TO the ex-
tent OF his signature. The question
of priority at once came up, and it
was found to be difficult to decide.
After some debate the two docu-
ments, unlocked at were laid face
downward on the desk on sheet OF
paper, and then they were shuilled
together.
When this stage of The game had
been reached the proclamations
were turned face upward, but pro-
tected by the sheet of paper, upon
which they had been laid. The
sheet was slipped aside until the
blank spaces for the Presidential
signature we're exposed. TIE auto
graph was appended to each. the ink
allowed to dry, the proclamations
turned over once more AMI again
vigorously shuffled. The two Dako-
tas were admitted to the Union of
States, and although one of them was
ahead of the other just the length of
time it took the President to write
his name, history will never be able
to record the name of the leader 1t
is profound mystery and it will
always be sc.

LOOK OUT FOR FIRE.

To Theater Owners. Managers and Whom it
May Concern:
This is to certify that have equipped the
Windsor theater in this city with the Lind
gren stationary chemical fire engines. After
examining all other systems of fire protection,
and after repeated tests of the Lindgren sta
tiOnary chemical fire engine, and upon the re-
commendatiOn of the insurance under-writ-
ers, have no hesitation in prOnOuncing it
the cheapest and most powerful, as well as
perfect, fire protection for theaters over in
vented. In my opinion every theater ard
opera house in the United States, as well as
Europe, should be equipped with these chem
ical fire engines, and thus save the loss of life
and thousands of dollars in property,

Tacoma, WASH, Sept. 10, 1889,
To Whom it May Concern;
This is to certify that l, George A. Burbank
witnessed the exhibition of the Lindgren
chemical engine test to-day, and as l have
witnessed a great many such chemical tests
in New York City, Boston, Mass, and other
large cities in the East, hereby state that it
was the quickest and most satisfactory test,
and was also pronounced so by two of our
councilmen and all the citizens present, and
will also state that the time of applying the
chemical was left entirely to mo and did not
give the word until the fire was well started,
for in other tests | have witnessed they have
always put the chemical on the minute the
fire was started and water would answer just
as well, as there was nothing but the flame
started and the wood not charred, and l take
great pleasure in recommending the Lind
gren'' as far superior to any other Chemical
engine on the market,
