the discharge OF duty: Ia Minneapolis a
few days ago, at the memorial services of
the oldest reporter in the northwest, the
great hall was packed and eulogistic ad-
dresses were made by the governor and
other prominent citizens. 1t is gratifying
to observe that as rule the members OF
this profession are advancing in public ap-
probation and esteem. The reportorial
business on our great dailies has developed
into both science and fine art. 1t must
be done by men and women Of education,
ability, Judgment and discretion.
1t demands persons not only Of talent
but Of character In addition to work Of
the most laborious nature there is consid-
cradle amount of responsibility. First
class reporting deserves to rank among the
learned professions, and the Industrious,
faithful and conscientious reporter is en-
titled to the recognition and respect of ths
community.
He contributes largely to the success of
every public undertaking; he gives the
people an opportunity to keep well in
formed upon local events: he describes
many a good deed it done in the interests Of
humany, and he proves wholesome terror
to those Of evil inclinations. 1t is salts
faction to note that his memory is honor
ed; it is still II greater pleasure TO notice
that there is growing appreciation of the
inestimable value Of his daily services

The Coyote.

Some remarkable statistics, interesting
from several points of view, in regard to
the coyotes in California have been COM
piled by the comptroller Of the state since
an act of the legislature fixing bounty Of
five dollars on each coyote scalp went into
effect. In less than year 10000 coyotes
have been killed and scalped in the state,
and nearly 100000 have been paid to the
hunters. In one county alone Kern, ST.
045 has been paid in bounties. Tulare
county got 1880, and Los Angeles SO, ,005.
No claims were presented from San Fran
cisco, but the neighboring county collected
1915.
The statistics have surprised naturalists
and legislators. In the adjoining terri
tories of Arizona and New Mexico coy
otes are plentiful, but are vaueless, and it
is generally understood that the hunters
in the territories are doing prosperous
business in exporting coyote scalps to Cal
ifornia. Exchange.

She had brown, oval face and liquid
brown eyes, a tiny, pointed chin and red
mouth with dimple at one corner. At
this sectarian co-educational college,
hedged in by restrictions, she loved-the
rules were powerless to prevent it-a
melancholy eyed, somber yisaged young
man, the admirable Crichton" of the
school. That he never encouraged her de-
votion made this love passage seem to her
only the more romantic and uncommon.
She assumed a becoming expression of
quiet suffering, and she slept every night
with his picture clasped by her dimpled
hands; and every morning the chamber
maid rescued his classical features from
the foot of the bed when she shook up the
clothes.
Alasl He left the school with his love
unspoken.
There arrived on the scene a young pro,
fessor of music, fresh from the German
universities, with n glinting blue eye and
soul of boundless irreverence. He play
ed the pipe organ divinely, and seemed to
have the soul of all musical instruments at
his white, supple finger tips.
The seductive waltzes that young man
wove into his voluntaries produced their
due effect on Daisy. who Immediately di-
vorced her soul from the somber young
man and began, with the professor as
teacher, to cultivate her voice. Her note

ABILENE, Tex, Jan, CIT was a
fearful sight and one that was calcu-
lated to chill the blood in ones veins,
that greeted the eyes of s. A. B. Nc
Dougal, a local plasterer of this place,
when he returned to his home this
evening from his work. There, upon
the floor, lay his wife in pool of
her own blood in the cold embrace of
death, with a bullet hole in her right
ear and the deadly weapon still in
her hand.
Deceased was at home alone save
the presence of her six months babe
when she committed the rash act.
No reason is assigned for it except
that she was temporarily insane, and
it is said, has attempted twice before
to end her own existence. The pistol
with which she committed the deed
was secured from a neighbor this af-
ternoon during their absence from
home. The deceased was about thirty
years of age and was neatly dressed
and of good address. The husband is
crazed with grief.

A Young Man Cremated

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan, 29.-At 10
o'clock last night the residence of r..
F. Bell, eight miles from this city, was
burned to the ground. A life went
out in the flames. Mrs. and Mr.. Bell
were awakened by a scream of their
twenty-five year old son Thomas, who
occupied a room just above the one
they we're in. For some time Thomas
has been demented, and his parents
thought the screaming was due to the
raving of his mind. Then the crackle
of flames reached them, followed by
the flames reaching down through
the ceiling. Mr.. Bell hurried his
wife out of danger and rushed to his
sons room. AS he opened the door
the floor of the room fell through and
Thomas lay in the embrace of the
destructive demon. The house was
destroyed, loss $1,000. This morning
the bones of the young man were
taken from the ashes.

Attorney Generals Department.

The following opinion was yester-
day made by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Andrews on the question of the
the location of the land certificate
awarded eX-Gov. z. H. Bell by the
last legislature. Land Commissioner
McGaughey desired to know whether
the certificate could be located upon
any one of the three classes of lands
appropriated by the act of July IA,
1869 and the amendatory act of 1881.
Besides granting Gov. Bell pen
sion of $50 per annum he was also
granted 1880 acres of land to be 80
Gated upon any of the heretofore re-
served public lands, now reserved for
the payment of the public debt"
Under the act of 1879 as amended in
1881 none of the lands therein etapart
could be disposed of except in one of
the following ways and for the follow
ing purposes:
First, the land appropriated for the
state capitol, and which had the pref
erence.
Second, under presumption applica.
tions.
Third, by sale at so cents per acre,
one-half of the net proceeds for the
benefit of the public free schools and
the other ha Ito pay the bonded state
Indebtedness.
The laws in regard to the above
lands were amended in various ways
before the pension bill for Governor
Bell was passed, and in such way
that in summing up Mr.. Andrews
says:
''But as the matter stands there is
positively no way without additional
4 legislation to locate the certificate on
any of the land reserved by said acts
without depriving the school fund OF
some of it's rights under the acts of
reservation and under the constitu-
ton"
"The question being thus disposed
Of it becomes unnecessary to consider
whether under article IA, section A.
and article 16. section 90, of the constl-
tuition the legislature is authorized to
donate the land certificate, however
meritorious the beneficiary and how
ever laudable the legislative pur'
pose"
