Like Banquo's Ghost Will not Down Even
Together to Save This Union.
Milwaukee, Wis, Nov, 2S.-Capt. A.
G. Weissert, commander-in-chief of the
G. A. r has been called upon to settle
a question that has for long time kept
the organization in a state Of ferment.
Almost since the formation of the Grand
Army there has been trouble south of
Mason and Dixon's line whenever COL
ored post was about to be organized.
Charters have been refused by state de-
partments where Colored veterans made
application. Protests were sent to the
commanders n-chief, who turned them
over to the judge acknowledgement for
settlement. Protest came to-day from a
Colored post in Texas saying that neither
the departments of Louisiana nor Tex
as woal Id issue charter. A letter had
previously been received from the de-
partment of Texas citing the same in
stance and asking for instructions. Capt.
Weissert imm ediately ordered the char
ter to be issued and declared that unless
it was done he would take steps to force
the white veterans to obedience or drive
them out of the Grand Army.
1.-THE race war in the Grand Army
circles of the South" said Capt. Weis'
sert, lis assuming graver aspect than
ever before. Since my election to this
Office have not been idle. I have been
collecting statistics from Florida to Tex
as. 1t is my intention to make tour o.
the South and make searching inquiry
into this race war, and propose to SEE
that the Colored soldiers are recognized
by the state departments and posts O.
the Grand Army. I will lay down the
laws to the offending posts and if they
refuse to recognize the Colored soldier
they will be. dismissed from the Crane
Army without ceremony"

: SLAVERY'S FOE
MEETS HIS CONQUEROR IN THE
GRIM MESSENGER.
Mgr. Lavigerie, the Famous ''Black
CARDINAL Who Has Spent the Best
Years of His Life Fighting Slavery is
Dead-Peace be to His Ashes.

London, Nov. ga dispatch to the
Reuter- Telegram Company from Algiers
says that the great French cardinal,
Lavigerie, is dead.
Charles MARTIAL Allemand Lavigerie
was born at Bayonne, France, Oct. 81,
1925. He was educated for the church
and soon become noted for his learning
on theol )gical subjects. He became
professor of ecclesiastical history in the
faculty of Paris. His abilities early at
tracted attention beyond the bounds Of
France and he was summoned to various
honorable functions at the papal court,
all of which he discharged to the emin.
ent satisfaction of his ecclesiastical sup
eriors.. BY decree of March, 1868 he was
designated as bishop of Nancy, and by a
later decree of Jan. II, 1857, he was
transferred to the see of Algiers, which
was erected into an archbishopric. He
was afterwards promoted to the rank of
cardinal and has gained worldwide fame
not only as one of the most distinguish
ed prelates of the Roman church, but
more especially on account of his success
sful efforts to reconcile the papacy to the
French republic.
Mgr. Lavigerie was known all over
christendom as the ''Black CARDINAL on
account of his long and remarkable
crusade against slavery in the Dark Con-
tinent. Six months ago he was at the
point of death, as he had been three
years previously, but he recovered, and
Notwithstanding his advance age and
delicacy Of healty it was hoped that be
might be spared for number of years to
carry on his great work.

visitors at the fair to have access to
their home papers constantly and
show them to theirguests and friends.
AT the s~ecretary's office in the build

a postofice, and a bureau of informa-

where people can leave their parcels
while making the rounds in the fair,
and other conveniences.
There need be no fear but what the
efforts of this commission are going
to be a succe and that the exhibit
at the fair, both as to buildings and
exhibits, will be worthy of the state.
The only stress is upon the point of
getting the state building erected in

the fair in October. To do this the
money must be hurried up. The sec

correspondence regarding the exhib-

1T Is THE AGE OF PAPER.
Iron, Stone. Brass and the Others Are All
Out of Date.

|NShf bh"Ss ahh a. otlSEs arg All
Out of Date.
The world has seen its iron age and
its brazen age, but this is the age of
paper, according tothe Paper Record.
We are making $50 many things of
paper that it will soon be true that
without paper there is nothing made.
We live in paper houses, wear paper
clothing and sit on paper cushions in
paper cars rolling on paper wheels.
Ii We lived in Bergen, Norway, we
could COON Sundays to a paper church.
We do a paper business owe paper
counters, buying paper goods, paying
for them with paper money, and deal
in paper stocks on paper margins.
We row C in paper boats for paper
prizes. We go to paper theaters,
where paper actors play to paper
audiences. As the age develops the
coming man will become more deeply
enmeshed in the paper net. He will
awake in the morning and creep from
under tie paper clothing of his paper
bed and put or his paper dressing
gown and his paper slippers. He will
walk over paper carpets, down paper
stairs, and, seating himself in a paper
chair, will read the paper news in the
morning paper. A paper bell will
call him to his breakfast, cooked in a
paper oven, served on paper dishes,
laid on a paper cloth on a paper table.
He will wipe his lips with a paper
napkin, and, having put on his paper
shoes, paper hat and paper coat, and
then taking his paper stick The has

will sail the cea on paper steam

cigar or paper tobacco in a paper pipe
lighted with a paper match. He will
write with a paper pencil, whittle
paper sticks with a paper knife, go
fishing with a paper fishing rod, a
paper line and a paper hook, and put
his catch in a paper basket. He will
go shooting with a paper gun, loaded
with paper cartridges, and will defend
his country in paper forts with paper
cannon and paper bombs. Having
lived his paper life and achieved a
paper fame and paper wealth, he will
retire to paper leisure and die in
paper peace. There will be a paper
funeral, at which the mourners,
dressed in paper Grape, will wipe their
eyes with paper handkerchiefs, and
the preacher will preach in apaper
pulpit. He will lie in a paper coffin;
elsewhere in this paper it will be seen
that he has a chance of doing so
already If he is a paper-we mean
pauper. He will be wrapped in a
paper shroud, his name will be en-
graved on a paper plate, and a paper
hearse, adorned with paper plumes,
will carry him to a paper-lined grave,
over which will be raised a paper
monument.

RAINING SNAKES In MINNESOTA,
Some Specimens Known in the West Indies
Drop from the Clouds.

Last week during a severe thunder
storm, two large snakes of strange
appearance and unknown variety
made their arrival in Marshall, Mimi,
under remarkable circumstances.
During the height of the storm an
employe of the meat market owned by
Jack Sturgeon saw a large object fall
by a C a window, near where he was
working. he went out and found a
large snake, crushed and mangled, but
still writhing. He crushed its head to
prevent a possibility of danger and
took the snake into the shop, where it
was viewed an hour afterward by
hundreds of our inhabitants. The
serpent was about 5 feet long and 5
inches in circumference. Its body
was covered with black and white
spots, and its tail terminated in a
heavy substance not unlike an arrow
head. 1t looked like no American
snake, and a travelled gentleman of
the village pronounced it to be a
turtle head" a variety of adder
known only in the West Indies. There
are only two varieties of scrpents in
this region, the striped and harmless
garter snake and a small species of
water snake, both utterly unlike the
one which fell in Fridays rain. The
snake was seen to fall in the rain, and
it had every appearance of dropping a
great distance.
AT the same time a snake fell in the
garden of Mr.. Gibbons and was found
dead. In size and appearance it vas
like the other. The above facts are
well vouched for. Various theories
are advanced, but it seems impossible
to account for the presence of the
reptiles in and other way than to
acknowledge that they fell from the
clouds, possibly being carried there by
some whirlwind too high up to be felt
on the surface.

Primary Nominating system.

Codington county republicans have
adopted the primary nominating sys-
tenn this year. 1t is radical change
from the old plan inasmuch as ii
practically does away with COM
binations and brings the nomination
right down to the people. There are
many excellent features connected
with the plan, and while in all proba-
bility it would not strike the average
politician very favorably, it must be
conceded that it looks fair and
reasonable. The plan as adopted is
as follows:
As many candidates as see fit may
announce themselves without regard
to location for any county or legisla-
tive office. The county central COM
mittee will have the names of all can
didates for all of said offices printed
on tickets and these tickets will be
given to judges of election in the
various voting precincts; said judges
of election to be selected by the
county central committee, and con-
sists of three in a precinct.
On the last Saturday in September
the judges will open the polls in each
precinct from five to ten o'clock p. IN.
The republican voters will be invited
to go to said polls and indicate by
ballot their choice of the candidates
for the various offices.
The ballots will be taken before the
county central committee by one of
the judges, and will be by them
counted, and the gentleman receiv-
ing the highest number of votes for
each Office will be declared the regu-
lar nominee of the party for said
office, and their names will be placed
the official ticket to be voted for
at the regular election in November.
In order to avoid possible partial
ity on the part of biased judges, the
plan provides that every voter, who
so desires, shall be allowed to vote,
but in case a vote shall be challenged,
or in cast the judges believe a voter
not entitled to vote his ballot shall
be accepted and kept separate from
the regular ballots and the East will
be appealed to the county central
committee for hearing and final
settlement.
