Throughout the entire report, Maj.
Carson calls attention 20 the erroneous
practices at the military academy and
deals with them in a critical but un-
prejudiced manner. Heretofore reports
from the board of visitors to the mill
tary academy have been prepared mani
festly with the purpose only OF comph-
menting the institution and therefore
such reports have been practically val

Concerning the practical instruction
of most value, Maj. Carson calls atten-
zion to the fact that under the present
reguls<ions cadets at West Point are
inbued with the idea that soldiers I'M
der their command shall be trained to
as high a degree of discipline as is main
tanned at the military academy, and,
with this idea in view, without consid-
ering the limited mental capacity and
educational requirements of enlisted
soldiers, their requirements are such as
to cause no little dissatisfaction in the
ranks and consequent desertions from
the army The board therefore con-
cludes that whatever instruction may
be had al the military academy calcu-
lated to give the cadets an insight into
the methods of stimulating AID cncour-

City Treasurer Refs is now satisfied
that the st. Paul City Railway company
has not attempted any gross imposition
upon the city In its return of gross
earnings of last year for the purposes
of taxation. He reported to the coun-
ell last evening that he had
carefully examined the detail of the
receipts of each line in this city, and |
find that the returns made of the gross
earnings for the year 1891 are correct,
agree with the statement as furnished
by the company, and that this includes
the earnings of the interurban line to
our city limits, for which our city is
credited with its proper share.
have also examined the returns for
the Minneapolis lines. and find that
no such difference between the st. Paul
and Minneapolis earnings does exist as
reported by a Minneapolis paper, and
which led to this discussion, said differ
ence being one-third only of what had
been stated, and is just what we had eX-
pected it to be. The reports, books and
accounts are kept in systematic, con-
else and elegant manner, and will
clearly show in detail any information
that may be asked for. Mr.. Lowry also
stated to me that he is satisfied to have
all the returns Of the gross earnings
hereafter to be made verified each

Judge Kelly has filed an order in the cause
of William C. Resser and Charles Davidson
against Patrick Ii. Carney, deciding that the
plaintiffs are not entitled to recover in the

not pass from the United States to the North

suit was brought before the patent was is
sued. The plaintiff mortgaged the land, and
the mortgage was foreclosed before the pa
tent issued. 1t is held that the plaintiff
had no interest in the land at the time suit
was begun, and therefore has no right Of &C

the woman whose husband so mystic

you news from my husband?" When
told that the call was only made to get
the same information from her she be-
came gloomy and restless again. Mrs.
Ehlies is young woman of progresses

undergone of late is visible on her re-

dead. or kept from her by some strange
