his nearest market place. Three elevators do
business there, the Cargill, Christian Bros and
Northern Dakota companies. He hauled his
first load to the Cargill elevator and states
that he was paid for No hard grade. After
he had surrendered his second or third load
he was informed by the agent that orders
had been received from headquarters to only
give him No. Northern grade for tho rest
OF his wheat, as the grain would not hold to
the first grade. AS the grain all came from
the same seed, out of the same field, Wright
refused to accept the No. 2 instruction, and
took a load to Hannaford, station just
north of Darcy, where there is small ware
house. No. hard was allowed him for the
first load, but by the time the second
load arrived the grade was cut the same as
at Darcy. Wright again declined to give up
his wheat, and, reloading, hauled it back to
the Christian Bros. at Darcy. The first load
went No. hard, as usual-the same wheat
that had been graded No. 2 Northern. All
the rest he brought, however, con instruc-
TONS" would only grade No. 2. Wright then
ordered cars to ship his owl wheat, which
was all sold for No. hard.

Gov. Miller'S Veto.

Gov. Miller OF North Dakota has vetoed the
Fargo agricultural bill He Incorporates in
his veto the opinion OF the attorney general
upon the question of the constitu nationality OF
the bill. That officer says it is clearly in con-
f1ict with section 159 of the constitution,
which says the proceeds Of all the land grants
in the United States shall be and remain Der.
petual funds, and that all lands remaining
unsold shall be inviolably appropriated and
applied to the specific object of the original
grant or gift. The Fargo bill provided that
all lands granted for the use and support oil
an agricultural college and all proceeds from
the sale thereof should be pledged for the
payment of the bonds and interest author
lied by the bill for the erection and fur
nishing of suitable buildings for the
college and experimental station, the
sum for that pursose being $4,000 The
governor accepts the attorney generals
view of the constitutionality of the bill, and
says that is sufficient reason why the bill
should not receive his approval. He goes
further, however and recapitulates the f.
nancial condition of the state, and shows
the probable deficiency to be nearly $780,.
600. The governor says:
Were there no constitutional restrictions,
would deem it incompatible with the best in
terests of the state and the various institu.
tions that these lands or the income from
them should be pledged in any manner Tor
the issuance of bonds. Should this policy
be pursued, the state would soon find itself
unable to properly and efficiently mant ain
the various institutions established by the
constitution.
The governor says that the educational
institutions not already in operation should
only be established to meet the needs of the
people, and as the financial ability of the
state would insure their proper equipment
and maintenance. The erection of buildings
for the ornamentation of cities and villages
is not, in his opinion, what was contem plated
by the government in its generous donation

Don't Fear the Grim Specter.

1t may simply be reflection on
the life of the present day, or it may
be a sign of the development of phil
osophy, that people are gradually
coming to take a cheerful view of
aeath-look upon it as a kind of an ex-
sursion or moving to a new town or
something like that. If it goes on we
will go to the grave with a merry Jig
and be bnried to Stauss waltz. We
nave all known men who have waited
or death so long that they have been
lble to joke about it. But story
rom Santa Cruz rather goes beyond
anything we have yet heard in that
line. There was a fellow down there
who had been sick of fatal disease.
He and all his friends knew he must.
die, and it was only a question of
time. It might happen any moment.
They decided that they should not be
taken unawares, and so they had, I
think, at the suggestion of the inva-
lid himself, dirge composed and
words written to be sung over his
grave. This they rehearsed carefully,
and the invalid attended and gave
some suggestions as to how it should
be sung. Determined that he should
have the benefit of his friends and the
pleasure of their society, they got up
picnic for him and they had great
time. They sang all the merriest
songs, all the usual choruses, "Raz-
eel Dazzel and all the rest, till they
ran out of music. Then when it came
time to go home, they got into their
wagon and sang the dirge all the way
back to town. He is alive, l believe,
yet, and it is limited that the pleasur-.
able excitement attendant on the
composition and rehearsal of that
drige has done him more good than
all the doctors medicine. From the

Russia UnhealthieSt of Lands,

If St. Petersburg is the most insal-
ubrious of European capitals, Russia
altogether is the unhealthiest coun-
try in the civilized world. The lat
est statistics of the medical depart
ment for 1887 show a less satisfac-
tory state of the public health than
those of the Immediately preceding
years. The cases of infectious dis
eases, although far from having been
all chronicled, were much more nu-
merous in proportion to the popula-
ton than in England, Holland, Italy,
Belgium, or Prussia; ]eprosy was
found in sixty-fve districts and 615
fresh victims were registered during
the year; there were 21 blind to
every 10, 900 inhabitants-a greater
proportion than anywhere else on the
continent-and PILOT persons pois-
oned themselves. Every year 5 more
persons in every l, 900 die in Russia
than in England, which, according
to the Novoe Vremya, makes an IN
necessary loss of 1,65O,O6O persons
annually sacrificed through made
quate medical assistance. An ex-
ample of this latter deficiency is given
in the Caucasus, where there is only
one hospital for every 3O9, 900 inhab-
itants and one hospital bed for every
12,OOO.-St. Petersburg Correspond

They Want Costly Collins.

Mr. CIV. Young, one of the princi-
pal merchants OF Juneau, Alaska, is
in the city, buying goods. Among
other goods he has ordered a score
or so of collins, assorted sizes, and
of the most expensive description.
He says the Indians in that section
can have nothing too rich and ele-
CANT in the coffin line. The finest
plush for covering and silver handles
and studs thick be-spangled over the
coffin is what they want, and will
have if they put up their last dollar.
Mr.. Findley of the Casket company
says the Oregon Indians have the
same ideas in regard to collins, and
some of the most costly he has go
out to klamath and up to the Una
tilla reservation.
Probably the Indians who have
lived in wickiup and worn blank
ct and moccasins during their brief
sojourn on the surface of the earth,
think they will get even by being
housed in a plush-covered, silver
decorated, and satin lined, coffin for
the. much longer time oftheir abiding
beneath the surface. This is one of
the many foolish things they have
learned from the whites. The old
stock of aborigines we're satisfied
with canoe for coffin, with an
other turned over it to keep out the
ruin, and a rOost on the limb of a.
tree or frail platform to keep their
remains out of reach OF the coyotes
satisfied them.-Portland Oregonian.
