Senator WinShip Surprised,

During the visit of the legislature to
Grand Forks a number of members of the
Senate and house called upon Senator Win
ship in his editorial rooms in the Herald
building and presented him with a hand
some office chair as a token of esteem:
The Sunday Leader of that city says:
"Recovering from his utter surprise, Mr..
Winship feelingly responded, thanking
his friends for their confidence and for
this expression of their esteem. Words of
congratulation and compliment testify ing
to the senator's faithfulness as a legislator
We're added by Senators Swanston of
Ramsey. and Worst of Emmons, and Rep
resentatives Bowen of Sargent, liankin-
son, of Richland, and others. The
chair will h%enceforth grace the Her.
aid sanctum and serve as a con-
slant reminder of the pleasant associations
suggested by it. The donors were Sena-
tors %Swanston, Wager, Helgeson, Svensrud,
and Worst, and Representatives Cole, Bow
en-, Hankinson, Buchanan, LELAND, Walton,
Ink, johnson, Reed, Pinkham, Roney, In

smiles and pleasant words and Professor
Woodwork. as POSTMASTER, acquitted HIM
self most creditably. The short and
chubby Attorney Wilder in the conven-
tlonal evening dress and with a smile that
cast radiance throughout the hall won lau-
re!S III his management of the promenade,
while Col. Brown, as youthful and jOcular
spirit as ever wore a silver lock, renewed
old acquaintanceS and made many new.
In short, all of thep prominent citizens did
their best to sustain the enviable reputa-
ton oftheir city for intelligence and hos
pitality, and business men, professional
men, boomers and rustlers Joined in an
effort to make everybody happy. This is
the reason that it is dangerous to name
one without mentioning all, and thus the
TRIBUNE is prompted to remark that the
good citizens OF Grand Forks, whose
names do not appear in this brief and in
adequate notice of the event, must not
imagine that their good work is not appre-
ciated.
AT JAMESTOWN.
The party reached jamestown at $3.50
o'clock Sunday morning, and here another
welcome was enjoyed, breakfast being
served at the Gladstone. The fact that it
was Sunday precluded the possibility of
display or Notification, but every attention
possible was shown the lawmakers and
their ladies. all of who were driven to the
asylum where a delicious luncheon was
served and where Superintendent Archi-
bald and the directors Of the institution
extended a cordial greeting. The COM
pleteness and cleanliness of the institution
was admired, and although a visit to an
asylum where the most unfortunate of
manklnd are to be seen is tinged with a
shade of sadness, the proof of the kind
and humane treatment which the inmates
of North Dakota's institution are receiving,
and the welcome extended by the people
OF jamestown, combined to make the visit
in that city one of the most satisfactory
features of the entire journey.
The special train lett jamestown at $50
p. NJ. Sunday, and reached Bismarck at q
O'Clock with its load of grateful and apprc-
ciative statesmen and ladies.

Ball For st. Valentines Night.

The Bismarck base ball association is
making extensive and elaborate prepara-
tons for a grand ball on st. Valentines
night, Feb. IA. This will be the second
ball of the association. The ball on New
Years night was not for the purpose of
any financial gain, merely for holiday
amusement and recreation. AMI the pro-
ceeds were barely sufficient to square up
all indebtedness connected with it. The
base ball boys are anxious for a liberal
turnout this time in order to start on the
season of 80 with all last seasons &C
counts settled. The Bismarck club is the
champion OF North Dakota. They worked
earnestly for their honors, and it would be
a discredit to the capital city not to support
them in time of need. Tickets will be
ready for sale Tomorrow. All who at
tended the last ball are unanimous in pro-
nouncing it the best time in a long while,
but be sure and come to the st. Valentines
bal. as the managers are e~ndeavoring to
make it eclipse all previous events.

Bishop Shanley's Reception,

From the Jamestown Alert it is learned
that the reception given to Bishob Stanley
upon his arrival at the See city, was a mag.
nifcent success. Thers was a good attend
ance OF Catholic priests and parishioners
from all over North Dakota, and the cere-
monies were OF a most impressive sort.
Hon. E. P. Wells was toast master. Hon.
Jesse Frye delivered the address of well
come Oh behalf OF Mayor Fuller who was
absent attending to his legislative duties
in Bismarck. The bishop responded in a
few we'll rounded sentences. in which he
declared his surprise at the earnestness
and hospitality of the people Of North Da-
kota. He said he had come to jamestown
to be a fixture there, and that it will be his
business to build up the material and NOR
al interests OF all North Dakota. He said
he was a boomer, and that we can, the
most OF us at least, expect to live to see
North Dakota as thickly Settled as Penn
sylvania, to See the country dotted with
churches, not perhaps costly ediices. but
numerous and useful, and we can live to
see a land filled with school houses, not
merely having good exterlors, but in which
the principles of true citizenship shall be
taught. He hoped they would meet as
brothers. He said that we may not agree

in politics, O. religion, but he would
try to convince them in one and win them
in the other, so far as able, for he believed
that he was right. No small differences Of
opinion, however, will ever interfere with
the friendship and esteem that should exist
between man and man. II believe many
things that some may not think | do" he
continued. 81 believe that God created
man, and | believe that every many what
ever his color or nationality, is entitled to
respect and consideration as a creature of
God.' Toasts We're responded to by Lieu

Grand Forks, Bishop Cottpr of Win0na

tlonal church, Hon. johnson Nickeus and

an Old SchoOlmate of Bishop Stanley, was
down for a toast but the length Of the pro-
gramme cut short a portion of the excr-
CiSeS.

Northwestern Grown Seeds,

II there is any person in North Dakota
or the northwest who has not yet received
a copy of WHIPS seed catalogue for 1890,
the fact should be made known at once to
Oscar II. Will, Bismarck. Mr.. Will now
ran6s among the leading seedsmen of the
country. He has devoted his entire atten-
ton during the past six years to the grow
ing OF seeds particularly adapted to the
northern climate, and has taken the first
premium at W successive state fairs. All
who visited the state fair last year at
Grand Forks will remember the elegant
display he made at that time-the finest
display of seeds and products of any county
in the state. Mr.. Will has made a Speciality
OF corn and has prop gated several varie-
ties that will mature in any part of North
Dakota before frost time. Not only is Mr..
Will building up a big business for himself
but he is assisting materially in the agri.
cultural development of the new north
west.

NO. IL.

An Act Providing Clerk Hire for the Various
State Offices, and Making Appropriation
Therefor.
Be it Enacted by the Legislative assembly of the
State of North Dakota:
SECTION l. The following amounts are
hereby fixed and allowed for clerk hire of
the several state soffices hereinafter men,
toned; which sums shall be paid in month
ly payments on the warrant of the state
auditor, commencing November 4, 1889, to-
wit:
Governors Office, $1,000 per annum.
Secretary of state, $1,000 per annum.
1reasurer's Office. $4,000 per annum.
Auditors Office, $4,000 per annum
Commissioner of insurance, $4,000 per

SEC. 8. There being an emergency ex-

law. For instance, a bill which provides for
the filing Of certain papers in counties and
which has been favorably reported by a
committee, says that the papers shall
be filed with "any county clerk in which a
RAILROAD, o. any part thereof, is Stu
ated." Here is Il new qualification
for a county clerk and will give rise to
many doubts in the minds Of those who
have been aspirants for the place. How
pleasant it must be for a county clerk to
go about wondering when a special train
will take a dash round his lungs or a
mogul engine collide with his larynx.
Lord deliver us from being a county clerk
under this law, for while it is convenient
to have a private car at your command.
how must a man feel, who, just as he has
settled down in his church pew on Sunday
and is ~endeavoring to look quiet and pious,
has a locomotive dash up to his throat and
whistle for water.
1t won't do. The bill should be amended,
at least so that the clerk can control the
movement of the trains.
