OF Death.
Gen. Francis A. Walker. chatting
with some of his comrades in Washing
ton, told singular story of his expert
ence He said that minor officer in
his command man who had been a
dear friend, passed through battle after
battle without single scratch. The
man was in the thick of every fight
Many a time he stood urging on his
company, and, while his men fell around
him, he seemed to have charmed life
Among the soldiers it was believed that
he was specially protected but as bat
tie after battle passed and he received
not 50 much as "a skin wound. the otli-
Ger became depressed. lie said to Gen.
Walker. Just before the Wilderness
campaign began: Frank | shall new

shall pass away SO suddenly that
shall not even know that have been
dropped.
Gen. Walker asked him why he felt
so. assuring him that il was a morbid
feeling.
mo, no. the officer said. ''rhere
Will come battle by and by, and /
shall be hit squarely in the temple.
You know what that means
They went through the Wilderness,
and the officer was in the thick of the
fight at Bloody Angle and was not hurt.
Hundreds of men fell around him at
Spottsylvania and he was not scratched.
He was in the first assault at Cold Har-
Dor when men were moved down. and
he rushed in at the second. the very in
carnation of fighting soldier. Just
as the men We're retreating he
stopped for a moment and turned his
head to look back, and in an instant he
dropped as though he had been smitten
by lightning bolt from the heavens.
When they found him they saw that a
minnie ball had gone clean through
from one temple TO the other, and that
he must have been conscious for an in
slant, for the forefnger of his right
hand was in the wound, as though he
was instinetively probing for the bullet

"The Letter" Writer.

Hon. Bud Reeves of Buxton, Traill
county, the author of The Letter, the
latest contribution to political literature
of North Dakota, spent Saturday in the
city. Mr.. Reeves has been attending. as
a spectator, the special session of the
legislature. Speaking of the worlds
fair display he said: Il feel like every
body tlse, that North Dakota ought to
have good display, that we are able to,
and all that, but We want to know that
we are going to have a good display.
The board does not seem to have the
magnetism for proper display manage
ment. The members are all good fellows
and nothing can be said against them,
but the opinion seems to prevail that for
the purposes other gentlemen with more
experience shonld be in command. As
I understand 1t, this is state affair, and
all classes should have been represented
on the board. I believe there is not

Is alternating many fair minded men. A
delegate characterized the course of
Blaine's managers now as having come
to be campaign Of "Bluff, Bully and
Brag" There is much bad feeling and
and the cry that Blaine is the only nom.
inee that can win, is met with feeling
of repugnance among the less noisy
delegates, as well as among the specta-
tors and visitors, of whom there are many
thousand here. from every state in the
Union.

CONCERT AND COMEDY.
A Very Pleasing Entertainment
Given by Local Talent.

A Very Pleasing Entertainment
Given by Local Talent.
There was representative and very
appreciative audience at the Opera rink
Thursday, to listen to the Catholic choir,
and from the way all were applauded one
would vote the concert complete sue
cess.
Although it was late when the curtain
went up, the delay was never noticed, as
shown by the rapt attention OF the audi
ence and the frequent encores.
The violin solo by Miss Schwellenbach
and mandolin and violin duet by Misses
Gieseler and Schwellenbach received
hearty encores, the audience wishing to
recall them again and again. The exc
cution of each was admirable.
Mrs. H. Pearce gave the audience
rare treat in the song "When the flowing
tide comes in." which was rendered with
fine effect, and for which she was COM
PEELED to favor the audience with an
other selection.
The qua1tette covered themselves with
glory in their two selections; the "Mag-
nificat" being the opening selection Of
the entertainment and most excellently
was the music of this glorious piece rem
dered. The church is to be congratulated
on the excellence and fine make up of it's
choir.
Mrs. E. J. Schwellenbach, .applauded
upon appearing before the footlights,
sang with sweetness "The Flower Girl"
for which she received hearty encore
This is partly descriptive piece, little
girl crying her flowers in the streets of
large city being represented, she calling
out the names of her flowers for sale and
"who will buy" "who will buy?"
The vocal solo by Mrs. G. A. Klaus,
and the duets by Miss Bellivou and Mr..
LEM, and Miss Bellivou and Mrs. Klaus,
were entertaining features of the pro-
gram; the clear ringing voice of Miss
Bellivou filling the room.
The spicy comedy, under the charge of
Mr.. Fred Berry. though short and sweet,
was very amusing and evoked much ap.
plause.
Financially the entertainment was
decided success, which proves again that
home talent is thoroughly appreciated,
draws good houses and amply repays the
promoters of such entertainments.

provements recommended was referred

M1NNEAPoL1s, June S.-The second
session Of the national convention was
called to order at II: :45 a. m. The
Nebraska delegation presented the con-
ventlon with gavel.
The chairman of the committee on
credentials said not single contest had
yet been acted on, and asked for further
time in which to report. He said the
committee could not hope to report
sooner than tomorrow.
The committee on permanent organi-
zation reported the selection of McKin.
Icy of Ohio, for permanent chairman, ,aud
the announcement was greeted with
great applause. Fessenden, Spooner
and Malone we're appointed to conduct
Mckinley to the chair. The convention
rose and greeted HIM with cheers. In
hlsspeech. Mckinley said this convention
would present a platform and a candi.
date that would meet with the approba-
ton of the country, and
predicted success in November. He
spoke IN great praise of the
protective tariff and its results. He said
it was the party's duty to see that there
was free and honest ballot in all parts
of the land.
Fred Douglass was next called to the
platform and was greeted with applause.
Bingham of Pennsylvania, submitted

day and that no liquor be sold on the
grounds, and demanding that whatever
appropriation be made should be contin-
gent on those conditions. The memorials
were read, and commented upon some
what by members. The trend OF opinion
was that no legislative action on that
point would have any weight with the
worlds fair commission. The approprla-
tion from North Dakota will not be
encountered with the above provisos.
In the debate on the Blaine resolution
Mr.. Beardsly moved to substitute Harri-
sons name for Blaine ito see If the presi-
dent had any friends" He had very,
very few. Cleveland's name was offered
as substitute, by Mr.. Kearney, for
Blaine's but that wouldn't work either.
Mr.. Lamb offered resolution that
the members of the legislature contri-
butte their mileage and per diem to the
fund for an exhibit at the worlds fair.
Mr.. Skinner moved as an amendment
that Mr.. Lambs name be inserted in
place Of members Of legislature" which
motion carried; and the house indulged
in little merriment ct the expense of
Mr.. Lamb.
Mr.. Brooke moved the house concur in
a resolution from the senate to transfer
certain moneys to the building fund OF
the deaf and dumb school at Devils Lake,
which carried. Mr.. Brooke thanked the
house for the courtesies that had beer ex-
tended to him.
Mr.. Lutz offered resolution that the
state militia encampment be omitted this
year, and the state saved some $1,000.
Mr.. Brown, the old war horse of Grand
Forks, took the floor for the soldier boys
and made speech in behalf OF the
militia, defending the boys who look on
the colonel for support.
The resolution was lost.

TUESDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

The Alert Representative Writes
About the sttuation.---North Da-
kota Delegates are Numerous and
Noisy.
M1NNEAPo11s, June T. Especially:
Promptly at high noon, and Immediately
after the inspiring strains of the mag
ni6cent band had died away, Chairman
Clarkson called the great
national convention to order.
The scene was grand one. The hall is
a model of It's kind, immense elegant IN
appearance, and of such wonderful con-
struction that an ordinarily loud tone
can be perfectly heard in ever corner,
from the farthermost gallery to the
remotest nook behind the chairman's
desk. The band is seated on a broad
platform over the delegates and close to
the roof The chairman's desk is sur
rounded by group OF lilies, and one
splendid boquet graces the little table
at the right.
After prayer by venerable repnbli-
can who invoked the repression of
faction, the announcement was made
that Mr.. Fassett of New York. the late
republican candidate for governor who
was left at the election, had been chosen as
chairman of the temporary organization,
by majority of the delegates, and Mr..
Fassett, known in the politics of the lase
Empire state election as Tom Platt's
young man, stepped forward. He made
favorable impression and fine speech,
cunningly devised to STIR up the enthu-
siasm Of the delegates and galleries, and
to appeal to the good sense of the
country as we'll. It was evident that the
new chairman was heart and hand in
the interests of Mr.. Blaine, and upon
those interests every move is being
calculated in advance by shrewd and
experienced politicians-the best of the
kind in the country. Mr.. Fassett called
over list of great men whom the coun-
try has known as republicans and as
men OF genius and renown. The list was
catalogue of the most famous republi-
can presidents since 1856, and beginning
with Lincoln-whose revered name
brought thunderous applause,-down to
sliding connection of Harrison and
Blaine. The speaker furnished fine
opportunity for the convention to test
its lungs. Mr.. Fassett is a young man,
but he made speech that would do
credit to older heads. It was speech
to effect purpose, and with many the
object was gained. He gently but firmly
doomed the man from Maine and no.
body could object. Incidentally referring
to republican doctrines, he mentioned
the name of ex-Speaker Reed Of Maine
Immediately there was yell for Reed
and the great audience would not be

Bismarck Tribune: When the session
of the legislature meets in this city next

that will receive the attention they de-
serve. OF course they will not come up
this session, but next January look out.
The supreme court of the United States
has decided that individual states can
tax the Pullman Palace Car Co., and have
pointed cut how this can be done. The
