Fate OF A Scouting Party,

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 23d.-A dis
S. D., says: While excavating for a
house on Capital bluff, in this city, work.
men discovered the skeletons Of ten
human beings. Appearances indicated
that the bodies had been thrown into a
pit and covered with rock From the
formation of the skulls six of the persons
were white, one being woman; the re-
manning four were Indians. The womans
skull shows that she had been struck with
a hatchet. Bullet-holes were found in
her skull, and an arrowhead was inbrdded
in the breastbone, showing that there
had been fight. The only article by
which the party could be identified was
silver medallion, dated 1S47, with the
name of Henry Mackenzie; and on the
reverse, the inscription: "Complimen-
tary for bravery at the battle of
Buena Vista" Joseph Reed, one of the
Oldest frontier scouts, remembers that
when Mackenzie started but with scout
ing party from old Fort George when the
Sioux Iudians were on the warpath. The
party never came back, and it was sup
posed at the time the whole party had
been murdered by the red men. Reed
says that the skeletons unearthed are un-
doubtedly those of Mackenzie and his
little band the woman being Mackenze's
wife"

The Granger case,

WASHINGTON, March 81 The Supreme
Court of the United States today render
ed an opinion in the case of Minneapolis
Eastern Railway Co. vs.. The Railroad
and Warehouse Commission of Nj Jnursota
and in the case of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& ST. Paul Railway Co. VS.. The same.
These are what is known as Granger
cases" In the tirssscaSe The commission
without a hearing, made an order FIXING
81 per Car, whether loaded or unloaded,
as the maximum amount which the rail
road company would be allowed to charge
for handling and switching cars in Min
neapolis. The railroad maintained that
the price fixed BY the commission was an
inadequate and unreasonable compen>a-
ton. In.the second case The commission
fixed II cents per gallon in l0-gal!on
cans as just and reasonable compen "a
tion for the transportation of milk from
Owatonna or Farribault to st. Paul or
Minneapolis. The railroad refused to
orders and contended that the same
rate for both distances was unreasonable
and contrary to the statute of Minnesota
forbiddng the giving of an unequal or an
unreasonable preference or advantage to
any particular locality; that the power to
fix and establish rates belonged to the
Legislature. and could not be delegated
to the commission, and, furthermore, that
the commissions action vas unconStitu-
tional. The decision of the Supreme
Court of Minnesota was against the rail-
roads, and the case comes here on appeal
This court reversed the judgment, though
there was a strong minority in favor of
the state. The ground taken by the court
is that the decision of the commission
amounted to taking the property Of the
company without due process of law,
and was therefore unconstitutional.

the existing specimens of ancient alma
macs are some composed in the Fourth
century. They are Roman church calen-
dars, giving the names of the saints and
other religious information. The Baltic
nations, who were not versed in papyrus
making, had calendars engraved ON ak
helves, walking sticks and other articles
of personal use. The days were notched,
with broad mark for Sunday, and the
saints days were symbolized in various
devices, such as harp for st. Dayid's, a
gridiron for st. Lawrence's, lovers
knot for st. Valentines, and so on. The
Saxon almanacs are numerous and con-
tain historical as well as ecclesiastical
entries. 1t is possible to trace in these
curious records all the changes of popu-
lar belief and taste. They were pre-
pared to meet the current demand and
to constitute a systematic story of what
took place in successive periods and how
knowledge increased with the revolving
wears. We owe to them most that we
know of the people for whom they We're
