the subterranean chamber, and had found
the dinner buckets and blouses OIL
ten of the men near. The explorers
suffered from the intense heat and black
damn, and scarcely escaped with thelr
lives. 10 was a trip 10 the very gates OF the
most realistic and practical hell that could
be found on this earth. The explorers WIS.,
tied nine places where the men were known

shoyels were found lying where they mad
been dropped. one mule WAS found dead ana
putrifed Otherwise no trace OF the men
could be found. The explorers then voted 10
abandon the work Of recovery. >uperln'

WAGES due. and advised them To 20 10 work

HONORS TO HENDRICKS.
UnveiIing a Handsome Monument to His
Memory.

INDIANAPOLIS. ND, july 1.-THE capital
city of the Hoosier State, and the home OF
the President of the Republic, did honor to-
day to the memory Of one Of ner fayorite
sons whose notable career as statesman
was cut short just as his life's work had
been rewarded with the second highest
Office in the gift of the American people.
| Conspicuous ms Thomas A. Hendricks had
been in his lifetime in the councils
OF one political party, there was nc
politics in the event OF to-day. The business
houses and private residences 4 the fnosl
earnest supporters OF the party In power
and the houses Of the warmest friends OF
President Harrison were decorated just as
prolusely, and with as much taste, as those
of their political opponents, and in the i'm
posing street demonstration.
NO POLITICS IN THE LINE.
Republicans marched with Democrats
and PrOhibitiOnists with Mugwumps. No
one party was represented in the tens OF
thousands of dollars that have poured IN
from every State and Territory OF the union
toward the erection Of the magnificent work
of art that adOrns the state. House grounds
and political differences were forgotten In
the salyOs of applause that greeted the ven
cradle relct of the deceased Nic~-Presldent,
as with trembling hands she pulled the rope
and exposed to public view the marble iea-
lures Of her illustriOus cOnsOrt. II was the
tribute of city and Il state 10 their son,
the American and the man, rather than 10
the politician and statesman.
RED HOT DAY.
Ii was red hot day. From the moment
that old Sol pOked his head from above the
horizon it was apparent that he intended to
out do his record Of the past six days. Inc
heat poured down as though million iur-
mace doors had been thrown open In the
Heavens. AS the immense procession
moved through the streets one continuous
yolley of cheers greeted the venerable widow
Of the deceased Vice-President, and Mrs.
Hendricks. who looked somewhat pale, but
fully composed, smiled and bowed
her thanks to the right and LETT,

HALF A MILLION DOLLARS.

That Is the Sum Donated by j. j. Hill for
a Catholic Seminary In st. Paul.
ST. PAUL, Sept. 3.-The Pioneer Press
publishes the following: One of the
most important enterprises in connec-
ton with this city, and one which is Of
national significance, has just come to
light. This is no less than the founding
of Il Catholic theological seminary, to be
in charge of the archbishop of st. Paul.
The immensely of the enterprise is as
sured by the fact that James. ]. Hill,
president of the Great Northern railway,
has signitied his intention of giving
$500, 600 to carry out the plans. Of this
sum, $500, 900 will be used to erect suit
able buildings, and the balance for the
endowment of professorships in the
school. The plans will be completed
during the winter and ground will be
broken for the new institution early
next spring. The seminary will be for
mally opened in the fall of 1892.
Distinctivcly Theological.
The Catholics already have one insti-
tuition of learning in this city-St.
Thomas seminary. The place gives
both theological and classical training.
But when the new seminary is opened
the studies will be separated. st.
Thomas will contine itself exclusively to
the classical course of study, while the
new school will be made, as already
stated, a theological seminary.
1t was intimated that the endowment
might be increased to 81, 0OO, 900, if re-
quired, by Mr.. Hill. 1t is probable that,
whatever there may be in the latter idea,
the generous donor of half a mill
ion will not stop at anything which his
wealth can supply to make this institu-
ton complete in all its details and a
worthy monument to his generosity.

The bankers of North Dakota ha,

The bankers of North Dakota have
expelled E. Ashley Mears from mem.
bership to their association on the
ground that his methods of getting
and handling capital from outside of
the state is a detriment to both bor-
rowers and lenders. There is no
doubt but that Mr.. Mears has been
chopplng off for himself a good slice
from the eastern capital he has been
handling for the past four or five
years, and he may have been quite
properly styled the three-per.cent-a.
minute man; but he certainly de.
serves the credit of unusual activity
and push. His career in the Dakotas
since '82 Or '83, when he landed in
Ipswich, S. D., without a dollar in
his pocket, has been remarkable.
Mr.. Mears always had a quiet and Pc
culiar way of getting capital to han
die, and in 1887 he launched out with
a bank at Edgeley and Minot, later
establishing n at Fargo.
