TRANS.MlSSISSIPPI CONGRESS
Will Meet at Ogden on April 24-Mor.
rison County Should Be Rep.
resented.

A session of the Mississippi
Congress will be held at Ogden, Utah,
on Monday, April "a, 1898. Mayor
Richardson has received a letter from
W. H. Harvey, chairman OF the ex-
| ecutive committee, stating the num-
| Der of delegates which Minnesota is
entitled to and urging him to be
present or see that Little Falls is rep
| resented. The basis Of representa-.
tiOn is as follows: The governor OF
each state and territory has right
to appoint ten delegates; the county
| commissioners one delegate from
each county; the mayor of a city to
select one delegate for each 5000
people Or fractional part thereof; all
commercial bodies may appoint the
same number as the mayor; all trans
pOrtatiOn companies are entitled to
one delegate; governors, mayors,
Judges, chairman of board OF county
commissioners are ex-official dele
| gates to the congress.
| The object of the congress is to dis
cuss all questions affecting the West
tha, may be the subject OF legisla tion
at Washington, and to speak through
it's resolutions to the national con-
gress. Hence irrigation, arid lands,
silver, public lands, the policy Of the
secretary of the interior, Pacific and
Gulf Coast harbors, and many other
important questions come up in a
| body composed entirely Of western
men
This is the most important repre-
sentative assemblage of the West. II
has already Influenced legislation
notably measures for the improve.
ment of the Mississippi River. The
congress is becoming better known
and more influential with each ses-
sion.
1t is the earnest desire of the Of
ficers and friends of the congress
that the next session should lie at
tended by all the governors and con.
gressmen Of the twenty-five Trans.
Mississippi states, with view to
harmony and unity Of action in leg
islation in the interest of the West
It would be a good thing, we think
if Morrison county could he repre-.
sented at this congress by at least
one delegate, but as the expense OF
the trip would have to be horne by
the delegate it is not probable that
any one will care to go.
This would be a good chance tC
advertise Morrison county and il
might be advisable for the city anC
county to pay the expenses OF dele
gate to the congress. Reduced rates
will be given on all railroads, and
also at the hotels in Odgen.

The High School InSnected

Our high school having this year
been placed upon the state high
school list is under the supervision of
the State High School Board, con-
sisting of Gov. Nelson, President
Northrop and Supt. Kiehle and will
be inspected each yearly represent
ative of this board.
Prof. Kirk, ex:assistant state
superintendent Of public instruction
visited the school yesterday and
spent most of the afternoon in the
high school. His official position
has made it possible for him to be-
come fully acquainted with the his
tory of the schools of Minnesota.
Prof. Kirk expressed himself as high
ly pleased with the progress and
present condition Of our school; and
especially commended the system
Of grading and the free textbook
plan in the adoption of which our
school board were among the pio-
neers of Minnesota. The record OF
the graduating class was carefully
examined and the following members
of the senior class were deemed by
him qualified to graduate with
credit to themselves and honor to
the school: Henry Richard, Rosa
Vasaly, Grace Hill and Albert Barton
OF these Henry Richard and Albert
Barton expect to enter the university
next year. They will he able to en-
ter the Freshman class without ex-
animation. No high school in the
state takes it's pupils higher than the
beginning Of the freshman year.
This class OF '93 although consist
ing of but four members is about the
average in number for the first
graduating class. They are all fine
students, having led their class in
scholarship from the first and have
done ab out three years work in two.
They will have state certificates in
from Is to 1S subjects.

TIRED OF LIFE.
One>of the Oldest Residents Of Morri-

Suicide,

Word was broughtsto this city yes
terday afternoon to- the effect that
James Chapman, who lives about
mile and a half west of Royalton
had attempted to commit suicide.
Yesterday he took q pail, and say
ing he was going to milk the COWS,
wentto the barn. Apistol shot was
heard soon .afterward. and upon the
family going to the stable Mr.. Chap
man was found lying on the floor
and blood was flowing from bull
let wound in his head. He was taken

Immediately sent fora physician.
Mr.. Chapman was one of the oldest
settlers in Morrison county, having
resided here over thirty years. He
was a well-to-do farmer, about 70
years Of age and II 0 cause is assigned
for the rash act.
Another story relating to this
ma tt,e.r is to the effect that Mr..
Chapman locked himself in a room

Wolf BOuntics

Speaking OF bounties, Senator
Logroller is peculiarly interested in
the wolf bounty bill, that has come
in from one of the southwestern
counties. The bill increases the price
paid for dead wolves. LogrOller
got his idea from a scheme worked
with great success few years ago in
one OF the upper counties, said to be
Crow Wing. The wolf bounty was
IS, paid by the county commissioners
The proof OF slaughter was the de-
livery of nose and ears. An enter
prlsing trader sent a man down to
Colorado. where wolves were
plentier than in Crow Wing county.
and procured the noses and ears
from the trappers for nothing, and
brought them up to Crow Wing
county in box lot. The delivery and
claim of bounty was "with care,' -
not too many at a time. 1t is said
that the county auditor-it was in
early days-obligingly did the de-
livery part, knowing best hcw much
the commissioners would ststand, -
ON the wolf scalp market. Logroller
says the only fear is that some ID
fool will go and amend the bill so as
to require the wolves tails delivered.

Gus and hard working farmer, and he
had a little experience this morning
that he will not forget. At about

to feed his stock, hanging the lantern
up on the customary peg beside the
hay NOW. While he was pitching
down the hay he was startled by the
explosion Of the lantern, throwing
the burning oil over a space ten feet
in circumference. The barn and
grainery We're soon enveloped in
flames and totally destroyed. 1t
was only by prompt work that Mr..
Orcutt saved his stock. Resides the
hay and grain he lost some machinery

When the vessels already authorized

When the vessels already authorized
by congress have been completed, our
total reconstructed navy will consist of
AZ vessels. Twenty-Five of them are
either finished and in commission or ap-
preaching completion. They include the
following designated classes-namely:
Armored cruisers, protected cruisers,
monitors, battleships and gunhoats, with
one vessel, the Vesuvius, which is of a
type peculiar to itself. It combines tho
functions of harbor defense ram and a
torpedo cruiser. When all the AZ vessels
are completed, the United States will
rank as the fifth naval power of the
world. The countries that will outrank
us are, in the order named, England,
France, Italy, Russia. Germany will be
below us, Ex-Secretary Tracy says. The
building of our new navy was COM
menced in 1888. Previous to that we
had sunk so low that even in 1886 we
were only the nineteenth naval power
among nations.
