Wa. 1t Murder, Suicide or Accident.

H1L1sBoRo, N. D.. Aug. 9. 1891
John Hanson, the proprietor of the
Scandinavian hotel of this place, was
found drowned in the Goose river, just
above the dam at this city, in a place
where the water was 10 feet deep, at
about 8 o'clock Saturday night. He wa
found in the bottom of the river in the
mud, entangled in some weeds and
grasses, by a drag. He has lived here
for a long time and is we'll known, and
the story of his death is as follows: He
and a friend went down to swim, and
while in the water he took cramps and
got out, but on the friend stating that
he, the friend, was the best swimmer,
Hanson took it up and d We into the
water, although he had partly dressed,
and when in the water the second time
he took the cramps again and went to
the bottom and never cam up until he
wal dragged up, at about $50 p. m. At
about 9 r. m. his friend made the fact
known that he was drowned, although
he was drowned at about 7:3O p. n. He
was taken up to the city engine rooms
at about IL p. M, where he is laid out
on an old cot in ice, where he was seen
today, unknown eve by his associates,
deserted, uncared for, forgotten. Those
who know him best say his past
life was not as good as it
might have been-that his failing
was for liquor. ALI! hold! Don't blame
him now, when he can no more defend
himself. 1t is the middleman who
makes the traffic in souls, from limo.
cence to hell, that is most responsible
for this. No, John, we will not now
blame you, but we will try to pray for
you when the solemn thought of your
present whereabouts comes to us in the
dusk of our mental struggles. Your
days are all numbered, both for here
and hereafter. and we will join those
whom you left behind in at least hope,
though we may not be able to entertain
the strength of hope that would at this
hour best please us-yet, we will hope;
for we don't think your past life was ali
your own, and a CLEAN from beyond the
veil seems to point its finger down here
through the skull and cross bones at
some who now reside here, who will
help you suffer for part of your past
life when they join you.

The New Government Paper.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 2.-The
secretary of the treasury has issued
notice in regard to distinctive paper for
the obligations and other securities of
the United States. The silk. threaded
pager adopted in 1885 will be used un-
til exhausted. The paper for United

of a localized red and blue fiber incor-
porated in the body of the paper while
in the process of manufacture, so placed
as to form a perpendicular stripe on
either side of the center portrait or Wig

The Lottery Fight Commenced.

New ORLEANS. La, Aug. 4.-The pro.
lottery democrats have inaugurated
their campaign in Louisiana in favor of
the acceptance of the offerof the lottery
company of 81, $50, 600 year for a re-
newal of the charter. The an~ti-lottery
people opened the fight last month and
thus forced the other faction into the
field. The first meeting in favor of the
lottery was held yesterday ct Robeline,
in Natchitoches Parish, q section sup
posed to be very much opposed to the
lottery, and indicates that the campaign
has now begun in earnest, both factions
being in the field. The resolutions de-
clare in favor of accepting the offer of
3d. $50, 600 a year for a lottery fran
chise because the state needs the money
and particularly because it will allow
the improvement of the public school
system; denounce DR.. Palmer's speech
and all threats of revolution or blood
shed, as the question at issue is purely
an economic one; obligate the friends of
the lottery to abide by the action of the
democratic state convention and protest
against the action of the ~snti-lottery
faction in seeking to bring women into
the political discussion and campaign,
the last resolution being due to the
recent rapid growth of the Women's
Anti-Lottery League and the promise
that the women generally will take q
hand in the fight. The resolutions in
dictate that the lottery democrats will
pursue the fight. and that they expect
to control the democratic state conven-
ton.

GA. Il. Encamnment.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 5.-The after.
noon session of the national encamp-
ment al devoted almost entirely to a
discussion regarding the selection OF
the place for holding the next encamp.
ment, which will be held at the nations
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., D. O. This was
decided today on the first ballot, and
although the partisans of Lincoln, Neb +,
feel disappointed, there is a general re-
solve by the veterans from all quarters
to make the encampment at Washing.
ton one worthy of the capital of the
Union. After q heated debate the mat.
ter was settled on the first ballot by
Washington securing a majority of 81
votes over Lincoln.
The location of the next encampment
having been settled, the interest of the
encampment is now chiefly centered in
the election of commander.in-chief.
Capt. John Palmer of New York, A. G.
Wissert of Wisconsin, and Col. w. R.
Smedberg of California are the leading
candidates, and it is safe to say that one
these will be elected. The long and
stubborn contest in the New York dele.
cation between Palmer and Hedges
ended today in a victory for Palmer.
after several caucuses had been held.
Hedges took his defeat good naturally
and promised to work for Palmer.
The sessions Of the encampment are
held behind closed doors. Veterans ap.
proach unsuspectingly and proceed to
enter the hall, but are stopped with the
"countersign please" and there is 8
look of astonlshment and dismay as
they turn away. A G. A. r. man who

countersign often has forgotten to

quired. He must have that badge or be
vouched for by some we'll known
person.
The silent army decided to lay the
matter of its pension claims before the
pension committee of the G. A. R., but
the principal object Of the reunion was
to give those men a chance to get some
sort of enjoyment out of the affair that
would be very undressing to them
under ordinary circumstances.
Then, too, those who have the great
est interest in these men believe that
all that is necessary to secure an equit.
able rating on the pension schedule, is
to call public attention to the real sig
nificance of their disabilities.

than one-half what it is for the loss of

be made for much larger pensions for

The Kentucky Election.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 3.-Ken-
lucky today elected a full state ticket,
adopted q new constitution and chose a
legislature. The state officers elected
are: Governor, John Young Brown;
lieutenant governor, M. @. Afford; at
torney general, W. J. Hendrick; audi
tor, treasurer, superintendent of public
instruction, register of the land Office
and clerk of the court of appeals. All
are democrats and go in by majorities
ranging from {, 1000 to 40, OOO. The dem.
ocrats' majority will probably show an
increase.
The peoples party has polled only
about 90, 900 votes. These have come
mostly from the republican party and
from the cities. While the alliance was
supposed to be back of the peoples
party, it has done very little for it, on
account of discussions which arose last
January. and which caused the retire.
ment from the alliance presidency of s.
B. Erwin. the peoples party candidate.
The alliance has devoted itself to the
legislature, snd probably has practical
control of that body, and so will control
the revision of the laws under the new
constitution. In only a few instances
has the alliance put up candidates in
opposition to the democrats.
So, while the Legislature will be nom.
inally democratic, it will have strong
alliance affiliations and tendencies.
This may make its Interpretation of the
