TWO OFFICES FILLED
Thomas II. Carter of Montana Appointed
Commissioner of the General Land

Thomas III. Carter of Montana Appointed
Commissioner of the General Land
ONCE
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, April
1.-The president to-day made the follow
ing appointments: Thomas M. Carter OF
Montana, commissioner of the general land
office, vice Lewis A. Croft, resigned; James
Compton, Of Fergus Falls. Mimi, surveyor
general OF Minnesota, vice John f. Nor
IRISH, term expired.
Mr.. Carriers appointment meets with APP
prevail here. Carter is very popular per-
sonally. He has an agreeable way of hand
ling people. His appointment, however. is
generally attributed to theinhuence of Rus
sell Harrison and the Northern Pacific road
Senator Sanders is very glad. He thinks
that the burial of Carter in u department III
Washington will take him out Of the next
senatorial contest. Carter does not think
so, however He will see Sanders later on.
The appointment OF MI Compton was
the natural corollary OF ex-senator Buck
mans dispatch to the president, with
drawing from the race. 1t is ancient his
tory that Mr.. Compton was the second
choice of the Minnesota delegation for the
place. 1t is also pretty we'll known that
Compton was the first choice of Senator
Davis, and that it was Davis quiet work
that prevented the appointment of Buck
man months ago.
The appointment OF Compton is approved
by the Minnesota colony in Washington.
Ex-Congressman Dunnell said to your
correspondent: at is splendid appoint
ment. favored BuckmaE first, but Comp
ton is all right"

Brooches. Trousers and Pant
alOOnS,

Pantaloons first came into use in
Venice during the fifteenth century,
says the St. Louis Republic. They
were worn by the devotees OF the
patron saint Pantaloon, and were
called pantalinis by the Italians. To
put then on was thought to be an evil
dence OF foolishness or buffoonery.
they being nothing more than pair
OF long stockings, the wearer much
resembling a clown. The ancient
SaNons wore ''breeches'' very similar
to the above, rendering them more at
tractive to the barbarian eyes by sew
ing on stripes of various hues.
Brooches, in the strict meaning of the
term-for trousers is the only proper
word to express the existing style OF
wearing apparel from the hips to the
ankles-were worn by many OF the
nations of ancient times, notably the
Modes and Persians, Phrygians, Gauls,
and Teutons. "Bombastes" breeches
were introduced into England by the
Normans. Henry VIII. wore the puff
ed-out style. The knee-breeches were
popular until about 1912. when the
changeto modern trousers took place

The Lost Engine.

100 feet and was raised. We then as

PROVED HER INNOCENCE,

The Charge of Arson Against Mrs. Will
lougbby at Luverne Dismissed.
LUvERSE, Mimi, Special, April 1.-The
grand jury has dismissed the charge of
arson for which Mrs. Nellie D. Willoughby
was held to answer in September last.
The complaint, it will be remembered,
was preferred by her late husband, from
whom she had been divorced. and was
based upon a story told by one Mary Owen,
who swore that she heard the bargain be-
tween her own mother and Mrs. Willougll-
by whereby the latter employed the mother
Of the girl to fire the building. The stable
was burned, in all probability by fire from
the pipe Of a drunken tramp, on the morn
ing of Jan. 16. 1890.
Mrs. Willoughby was present with her
counsel and witnesses, prepared to sustain
her innocence, but the only witness for the
prosecution had left the country, and the
lady, who is well known as an Iowa tenn
perancc worker, returned to her home in
that state indicated.
