EDITOR Bowen, of Sleepy Eye, visited
Mankato the other day, and for forty
eight hours neither coaxing, entreatIn!
nor offers of free passes to the WILD
West show could draw the Mankato ed
itors from their cyclone cellars.-St
James Journal.
There is a mistake about this. There's
no doubt the editors aforesaid would
have taken to the cellars if they could
but an absence of those retreats made il
impossible. 1t is only in the line OF
public duty that we make tins statement
as Bro. Chapman's joke is very good
one.

THE wife of the noted Chicago gam
bier and politician, Mike Mcdonald, has
eloped for the second time. Her first
paramount was a minstrel performer
while Catholic priest has won her un.
lawful affections in the present occasion
The husband mentions prominently in
his remarks on the case the fact that the
priest had many times sat at his family
board and drank his beer by the pailful
But the fact that Mcdonald once chased
the woman as Ear as California and
brought her back TO share his home
would seem to show that the loss of hi:
beer is not all that he mourns for.

No Cause for Alarm.

BISMARCK, N. D., Aug. %. There is
considerable comment here over the re-
reported discovery of two Grand Forks
lawyers that the clause in the constitu-
ton locating public institutions is in
conflict with the ena bling act. The fact
is the matter was discussed here for
many days, and the measure was finally
drawn up in accordance with the views
of two of the best lawyers of st. Paul.
price, ETC., is left to the legislature by
the enabling act and also by the consti-
tuition. That the legislature is not the
body that appropriates the land granted
is apparent from the language of the act
itself, which gives to certain institu-
tions specific number of acres of land.
This direction the constitution follows,
and in no way is it repugnant to the
terms of the act.

NORTH oAkoTA's CONSTITUTION.

Grand Forks Lawyers Claim to Have
Found n Serious Defect in the Docu-
meut.
GRAND FORKS, Aug. ga sensation
was produced here when two lawyers
discovered serious difference between
the consti tuition and the enabling act
passed by congress. All state institu-
tions were located in the constition, and
the public lands granted by congress
were divided. Lawyers find that con-
gress specifies that the legislature shall
locate institutions and divide the lands.
Unless the constitution is voted down it
is quite probable that North Dakota will
not receive the public lands from the
federal government.

though we had skins aboard found none.
He told US that on July 90 he had seized
the schooner Pathfinder. of this port,
put prize crew aboard her and sent
her to Sitka, taking out 500 skins. He
also told us that he had seized the
schooner Minnie, also of Victoria, Capt.
Jacobs, the owner aboard, with $50
skins. He also put crew aboard her
and sent her to Sitka. He also told us
that he had overhauled the schooners
Ariel and Therese, and although he
found skins aboard them had let them
go out of the sea without molestation.
He did not give his reason for this.

valuable one, The Agar had 300 skins
when boarded. 1t now appears that on
the trip down Capt. Agar sighted first
the Minnie and then the Pathfinder,
each with one man as prize crew
aboard Both signaled their intention
of not going to Sitka, but of coming to
Victoria, SO that within twenty-four
hours we may expect to see them i'll the

AT TIE NEW DENISON

At the new Denison there was great
crowd blocking the streets and packing
the corridors. Alighting, the president
was saluted by the governors guards,
which the president acknowledged, as
he did the welcome of the people on the
way from the station. AS he passed into
the hotel the crowd cheered and the
president then being escorted to the
large parlors, was surrounded by the
committee, at the head of which was
MIR. George w. Tanner, president of the
board of trade. MIR. Tanner, in brief
speech, welcomed the president to his
old home. Gen. j. X. Canadian then,
on behalf of the monument commission,
welcomed the distinguished guest. The
president in response said he did not
know how to express his feelings at this
return to his home. He did not expect
to be with old friends so soon
when he left to assume his onerous du-
ties, but he felt that he could not be alb.
sent on an occasion like that to be OBJ
served on the morrow. He had always
taken a deep interest in the monument
to be erected TO the soldiers, and hoped
again to be with the people of lndianap-
oils when the capstone is laid. The
president then held a short reception.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 22.-The recep-
ton given to President Harrison on his
return home to take part in the monu-
ment exercises after six months absence,
was as enthusiastic as were the parting
congratulations when he left for Wash
ington last February. At the Union
station there was great crowd to greet
him and at 8 o'clock. when the train
from Cincinnati rolled into the depot,
the cheers were most cordial. At the
same time battery from the arsenal,
under command of Captain Rexford, U.

SALUTE OF TWENTY ONE GUNS.
In less than twenty minutes after the
arrival of the train the president and
his party were at the New DenisOn, the
drive there being witnessed by thrOngs
of cheering people. On leaving the sta
ton the governors guard of the state
militia preceded the carriage in which
were President Harrison, Governor Ho-
vey and Mayor Denny, but in the inter
val came hundred or more of the sur
vivors of the presidents old regiment,
the Seventeen. Following were car.
riages of the committee that went to
