A Worthy Man.

Ex-Governor Andrew H. Burke has
been elected to the directory of the Du-
luth board of trade, a deserved honor to
a worthy citizen, says the Fargo Argus.
The people of North Dakota appreciate
any compliment bestowed upon Cover
nor Burke. Throughout the state of
North Dakota there has never been a
man who so thoroughly held the affec.
tions of tho people. In the populistic
upheaval the governor was defeated, but
had he remained in North Dakota until
1894 his reelection would have been GER
tain. The Argus congratulates the Du-
luth board of trade upon their choice Of
of Governor Burke as q director in their
body.

A Curious Calf.

One of the cow owned by Henry Tat.
ley, at the Western house, gave birth to
a curiosity IN the calf line a day or two
ago. The animal was born with two dis
tinct and separate heads, each plainly
developed, and the two with markings
almost exactly alike. Unfortunately the
calf did not live to enjoy it's superhuity
of head, and it was secured by an enter
prising curiosity seeker, who is having it
stuffed for exhibitions.

VIII Be NJ Id Taxable.

General Standish, the ex-attorney.pen.
eral, has just received a letter from
Senator Roach, enclosing one from the
interior department., written by Judge
Hall, tie encouragement Of that de-
p%artment, stating that it has acted on
General Standish's communication to
the senator and just ordered patents for
all the Northern Pacific place lands in
the state of North Dakota, a%ggregating
2,373,O25.69 acres. These lands are now
beyond all question taxable in the fut-
ure. Concerning General Stand1sh's
communication relating to the indem-
nifty lands in this state selected by the
Northern Pacific the letter states that
they aggregate 1851, 000.22 acres more
and that they will be acted on by the de-
partment very soon, making a total OF
5,9O4,025.69 acres in all / n this state,
Judge Hall says of the indemnity lands:
II called his (the commissioners atten-
ton to the letter of Attorney General
Standish, OF North Dakota, and he indi-
Gates his purpose to make the lists,
which include the indemnity lands
within the state of North Dakota spe-
cial.
"As soon as the lists are examined

sent to the Office they will be acted upon

Judge McClory was in consultation

Iowa law which fixes the compensation

in the service of the railroads. The
other is intended to regulate the number

Alderman Reade then raised the ques-
ton OF the expediency of putting the
salaries of the chief of police and Gus
todian of the engine house upon the con
tingent fund. There was some discus
sion, but it was finally resolved by the
council to do so.
Alderman Allen then brought up the
question of the mayors veto IN the cleo
trio light matter, by moving a vote of the
council.
Mr.. Braithwaite moved the courtesies
of the floor be extended to General
Hughes, and that he address them in the
matter.
Mr.. Hughes then made an address to
the council, favoring the granting of the
franchise. He said it was necessary, in
order to operate a plant, that the city
grant permission to erect poles and wires.
This was all that was asked Of the coun-
Gil. The franchise, he said, contained
no ghosts or wood-chuck or straw men.
The only question, in his mind, that the
council had to consider was the expedi-
ency of granting permission to someone
to erect and operate a plant. The fran
chlse, he said, granted no monopoly, and
the part of it which made it read as an
exclusive" franchise would not hold.
He then made a seriatim review and
argument against the veto message and
in favor Of the ordinance granting the
franchise:

Seven Aldermen Present and All of
Them Vote to Pass the
Ordinance,
A Number of Matters of Routine
Business Taken Up and
Acted Upon.
From Wednesdays Daily

The city council met in adjourned ses-
sion last night for the consideration of
various matters of business which we're
put over from the meeting on Monday
night. Several important questions came
up for disposition, among them the veto
Of the mayor in the matter Of the grant
ing of an electric light franchise, the
suanc of certificates of indebtedness,
where the issue of warrants is impossi-
BILE, and other matte rs.
All of the members of the body we're
present except Alderman Mcbride. and
to expedite matters the reading of the
minutes was dispensed with until the
next regular meeting. A letter from j.
w. Raymond, relative to the unsafe con-
dition Of his building at the corner of
Fourth and Broadway, was read. He
stated that he had given orders to have
the building repaired, and it transpired
that the repairs had been made.
A petition from A. F. Marquette, ask
ing that the sum of $685., which had
been paid by him as license on a pool
table in the latter part of 1894, be re-
funded. 1t was stated that he was the
only person in the city who had paid
such a license, and the petition wal
granted and the license ordered re-
funded.
A rather dubious condition of affairs
was disclosed by a report of the clerk in
the matter Of city indebtedness. The
valuation of city property, as fixed by
the last assessment, is some 100000
under that of the previous year. This
reduction cuts down the debt limit of
the city from S75,724 as now, to S57,449.
upon the basis of 5 per cent of valua-
ton. Under this new limit the limit
now stands about $4,000 on the wrong
side of the debt. not through any fault
OF management, but owing to this
change in valuation. Under these cir
cumstances it will be impossible to issue
any warrants, unless the assets and
other resources of the city can be in
creased by the including of properties
not heretofore considered. The matter
was referred to the committee on ways
and means, who are to confer with the
city attorney and report.
A report from the city attorney, per.
hitting the transfer of certain city funds
to meet interest coupons, was read and
filed. The report of the ,ity justice for
December was read and referred, and
the report of the committee on ways and
means, approving the t%reasurer's report
for November, and asking that the JUS
tice's report for November be referred
back to that officer for termination, was
read and approved.
The committee on claims reported on
a grist Of bills which had been referred,
