Free Milling.
Earning Their Salaries.
BISMARCK, March l5ISpeciall-Th
legislature accomplished great deal OF
work today. The two houses are work
ing together harmoniously and expe-
diting business in way that leads one
to believe that the members can earn
their salaries if they want to. Among
the bills passed by the senate was the
house bill approprlating s66.O0O to pay
salaries of state officers. The bill for a
school for deaf mutes was taken up
again and passed oyer the governors
veto.
The most important work done by the
house was to pass the senate appropria-
ton bills for the penitentiary, insane
asylum and university. Amendments
we're made requiring the asylum and
university, in case coal is used for fuel,
to use North Dakota coal, provided it
can be delivered at the rate of $500 per
ton. The senate bill providing that the
management Of the agricultural college
shall be in the han0s OF state officers
was defeated in the house. Congress
was memorialized to sink 40 arteslan
we'll at Edgeley as an experiment.
At the night session the senate re-
districting bill was indefinitely postponed.
Tie bill taxing sleeping cars was passed.
The railroad bill was recalled from the
senate by the house after the conference
committee failed to agree and the house
receded from it's amendments and pas
sed it, The main cause OF disagreement
on the bill was as to whether orders of
the railroad commissioners when ap-
pealed from should stand until over
ruled by the courts. AS the bill now
stands such orders may be set aside by
the courts pending their action, except
orders relating to freight tariffs.
Il am u Man.
Alexander Mckenzie is bigger man
than ever. His generosity and bravery,
shown in the dastardly attemps on his
life IN the Sheridan house. have raised
Mckenzie stock Thousand per cent. He
is loved by his friends, respected by his
enemies, and such displays of manhood
and true worth deserve the commenda-
tion they receive on al! sides. Alex
Mckenzie wrestling the pistol from the
would be assassin's hand, with his
finger bleeding from repeated clicks of
the hammer; protecting the covering
fellow in a corner from the enrased
lockers on; Mckenzie returning the
revolver, throwing back the lapels OF
his coat and exclaming "You are a
coward, you would kill me for nothing.

made q most dramatic scene, one never
tto he forgotten. The true hero, that
Conde Hamlin could never imagine in
his widest dream, stood before him in
real life, prince among mon, splendid
favorite OF nature, the man he claimed to
be. The effects of petty malice, and the
small, envious attacks OF those not able
to comprehend the worth and merit of a
man like Mckenzie, are brushed aside in
a moment, after a deed of daring like the
above. The people admire such men
and few enough there are for the admir-
alton.
Governor Miller Speaks.
On the subject of lotteries. Governor
Miller has never gone publicly on record
in any Of the home papers; even the Pho,
neer Press has not interviewed him in
denunciation of the scheme and the men
who advocated the bill. An eastern
journal has. however, been enterprising
enough to get the governors views, and
the death like quiet that surrounded his
action on the proposed iniquity has
finally been broken by an interview pub.
l,shed in the far-away Philadelphia
Press. The extreme efforts on the part
Of the ''rew gang" as it is termed, tc
keep the lottery matter undivulged by
the local press until the conspiracy
had gathered to head, are now under
stood, and the great anxiety to let the
schemers work their own destruction, as
it was thought they would, while the
noble Spartan band IN the capital build
ing, would step in and get all the oredi,
for saving the state, etc, are now also
fully explained. The people Of this state
clearly see through such palpable dis
guises and, it is believed, will be the
promptest to render an unbiased verdict
on the real merits of the case. The
Philadelphia Press of March 9th, quotes
the governor as follows:
