Gov. Sheldon has served notice on J.
w. Shannon, president and F. G. Hale,
secretary, Of the state board Of regents,
to appear before him at Pierre today to
give reasons why they should not be re-
moved for malfeasance in office. In it's
decision yesterday the supreme court de-
cided that when Governor Sheldon made
an appointment to fill vacancy. that ap
pointment held good until the end Of the
term, in which the vacancy occurred and
a new appointment although confirmed
by the senate would not Gust the mem.
Der already appointed to fill the vacancy.
Hence DR.. Finnerud of WATERFOWL holds
his position as member Of the board and
DR.. Collier of Watertown is out. This
gives Shannon and McLouth control Of
the board again. unless the governor
succeeds in ousting Shannon for NAL
~feasance.

In answer to queries as to why Their

In answer to queries as to why there
we're no potato bugs this year, Pref.
)Lugger the chief state b~ugologlst OF
Minnesota ascribes three reasons. First
the short crop of potato crops last year
and other vegetation on which this bug
feeds owing to drouth. This lessened
the crop of seed bugs which survived
last year. Second, the hardness Of the
soil IL the late fall last year made 1t i'm
possible for many OF the bugs to burrow
sufficiently deep in the earth to protect
themselves during the winter, hence
many were killed. Third, the excessive
rains this spring brought Oh early veg.
citation SO conducive to the early and
healthy action Of the potato bug but was
very deceptive in this that it got the
bugs out before the late frost had passed
and the frosts being especially severe
this spring land summer his bugship,
like rheumatic patients has suffered
much from cold and wei and has in fact
pined and died. This bug does not like
cold and wet weather.

Washington dispatch, "a: Informa-
ton has just come from Washington
that the purpose Of Senator Davis, of
Minnesota, in visiting the East at this
time is to sound the sentiment Of the re
publ;cans in this section regarding their
choice for a candidate for the next re.
publican convention in 1896, although he
declined to be interviewed when he
reached Buffalo yesterday. Politicians
in this city assert that his trip is TO-: no
other purpose. Whether he will succeed
in working up any sentiment in flavor of
his own candidacy for the republican
presidential nomination in 1896, is some
thing republican politicians in this sec.
ton Of the country are unable to answer
at the present time.

could not collect the money.

SHE ARRIVED ON NJ
Crossed . River on One Stringer and Rode
sixty Miles on Horseback.

SIXTY Miles on Horseback.
Mrs. Minnie Hickox, who has just
entered upon the discharge Of her du-
ties as teacher of the public schools of
Cooke City, left Livingston to open the
Cooke school on Thursday morning a
week ago. Upon arriving at Cinnabar,
the terminus of the railroad, she found
that the stage would not leave that day
on account of the washing out of the
bridge across Gardiner river. The stream
was SO swollen that the stage driver
dared not undertake to make a ford.
This was a dilemma not counted ON
by the plucky schoolteacher. She had
given her word hat she would be in
Cooke on Monday, and she determined
to make it good, ever if she had to o n
tinue her journey on foot and swim the
streams. There was no time to be lost,
and SO she started out.
All there was left of the Gardiner
bridge was a single stringer. Nothing
daunted, the lady stepped boldly on to
this and walked across the raging river.
It was a perilous undertaking even for
a man, and a woman less brave and cool
headed than Mrs. Hickox would have
been very likely to have become dizzy
and lost her balance. Mrs. Hickox, how
ever, proved herself equal to the emer-
gency, and reached the opposite bank Of
the roaring mountain torrent in safety.
As luck would have it, she found a
family Ell route to Cooke encamped
close by, AMI securing a horse mounted
it and continued her journey. 1t was a
pretty long ride for a woman who had
never ridden a horse-the distance be-
ing 60 miles over a rough mountain road
but Mrs. Hickox kept OH her weary
way until she reached her destination.
Upon arriving at Cooke she was SO bad
ly used up with her long ride that when
she got off her horse she had to be as
sisted to tn. hotel. She had the satisfac-
ton, however, that she had kept her ap-
pointment. Anaconda Standard.

Two Domestic Vetoes by Mr.. Cleveland

While Mrs. Cleveland is a domestic
woman she had at one time an ambition
to play golf, but when the matter was
preached to Mr.. Cleveland he firmly but
kindly declined to consider it, both be-
he did not like it as a recreation
for woman and because also he thought
that it was All undignified amusement
for the wife of a president Of the Unit
ed States. When Mrs. Carlisle was first
considering bicycling and before she had
become an adept at it, Mrs. Cleveland
had the idea that possibly she would
like to ride a bicycle The suggestion Of
this to the president met with the same
response as the golf idea, SO Mrs. Cleve-
land does not play golf and does not
ride a wheel Cincinnati Commercial

AN ALL NEGRO fOwN.


johnson Island, In the Mississippi River,
and Its People.
There is an odd little town on Johnson
island, in the Mississippi river, just north
of Memphis. 1t Is a negro town and Is
owned by negro planter. The island is
IL miles in area and it Is under the Ten
nessee statutes. The town Is taxing
district and not Incorporated Judson is
the name Of the place, named after the
white planter whose son Is the mulatto
owner of the island. The case in which
the morganatic son won the rich property
In oontesting the will of the dead planter
Is we'll remembered, and the courts duly
allowed him part of the Inheritance, since
he was the only living issue Of Judson.
So far as known, .Iudson is the only
town in America where there is not
white man. Elmer yudson, its wealthy
owner, allows no white man to come ex-
cept on visit. The town has 450 inhab-
itants and is well organized since Judson
is highly educated and progressive man.
He owns everything on the island, and
most Of the inhabitants are his tenants
He is q justice of the peace and has pro-
vided happy homes for the men who work
for him and enjoy his bounty. The island
is about eight miles in length and in few
places is not more than go yards wide. The
land is unusually rich, and fine crops are
produced every year. There are six stores
In the place, with few shops, two
churches and a school. Chicago Record.

The following is the obnoxious amend
ment on which the fpeople are to vote
sent. 25th: "The General Assembly may
by law from time to time In Its discretion,
when requested SO to do by vote OF the
City Council OF any icity, lapportion the
representatives to which such city Is or
may hereafter be entitle d, among the sew
eral wards I'm such city, and the represen-
tatives SO apportioned shall be voted for
and elected only by the electors I'm the ward
or wards to which they are apportioned
Provided, however, that each ward In any
city SO apportioned shall, If the number of
re personalities to which such city Is en-
titled equals the number of wards, have mt
least one representative; but no town shall
be divided into districts for the choice of
representatives." 1t will thus be seen that
representatives will only represent wards
and that cities can be gerrymandered to fit
the temporary majority.

NEEDED REFORM.

"Shorten the campaigns" is now the
cry of the politicians. There seems to
be definite movement among the po-
litical leaders toward this much-needed
reform. The shortening Of the presi-
Dental campaigns that quadrenially ef-
feet almost paralysis Of the business
of the country will undoubtedly be q
blessing. It can only be done by the
postponement Of the nominating con-
ventions from May or June until
August, or, preferably, until Septem-
ber: II was necessary thirty years or
more ago to prolong the contests over
q period of three or four months, and
sometimes longer, in order to insure a
perfect spread of intelligence regard
ing the nature of the issues and the
character of the candidates among all
the people OF the nation, scattered as
they were over an immense territory,
as yet poorly equipped with means Of
transportation and communication.
But the great growth of the railroad
and telegraph systems, andltheIprogress
of the American press, have eliminated
these conditions, and the America of
today is no more difficult to canvass as
q whole than any one of the States It
is, in the present times, manifestly
useless to spend months in foolish reit'
GRAFTON of charges and counter charges,
denials ana explanations, when the
minds of the people are doubtless made
up on the subject of preference for can
didates almost Immediately after the
conventions. One factor that will
probably cause reduction of the cam
paign season before q new century ID
reached is the tremendous and ever
growing expense, which is furnishing
too much Of q factor for corrupt prac-
tices and too great menace to the pu-
rity Of American politics. Mutual
agreement by the great political parties
TO hold the conventions in September
would be Of more practical value TO the
country at large than the fulfillment oi
all the campaign promises made by a.
piring candidates.

All Around the World the Drink Qucs-

DIR. Forbes Winslow of London, who ID
attending the medioo-legal congress which
meets In New York, makes this statement
to an interviewer: Insanity Is very large
ly on the increase In England. There are
now, $4,000 insane persons In England,
and the number Is Increasing at the rate
of 1900 year. To what do attribute
the causef Drink, undoubtedly. 1t Is a
sad fact, but nevertheless true, that the
drinking habit Is ON the increase In Eng
land, and particularly among women"
/ take up The Review of Reviews for
this month and find Archbishop Croko OF
Ireland interviewed by Editor w. Il.
Stead. The archbishop says: IF 1t were
not for drunkenness, there would be no
crime In Ireland at all AS 1t is, there Is
no crime which does not arise out Of that
evil. There Is, indeed great deal too
much drinking In the couptry."
Now, place two more items OF foreign
news beside these Item No. / Russia
has determined to close up every privately
owned liquor shop In her great empire and
permit no liquor to be sold to her people
except at government stores. This decree
goes into force In eight provinces on July
l, 1896, In seven more provinces on July
l. 1897, and throughout all the rest of the
cars dominions on Jan. 1, 1898.
On and after the last mentioned date
saloon keeping as q private business will
be totally abolished In Russia. The official
Russian journal gives as the reason fol
this sweeping decree the determination OF
the government to do away with the abuses
of the liquor traffic, which, 1t says, arise
from allowing 1t to be carried on by men
whose sole object is to make the most
money out of 1t.
Foreign news item No. Q: France has
also entered upon policy designed tc
make the liquor traffic government
monopoly so far as strong drinks are con.
cerned The increase of the evils arising
In France from the use of brandy, alb.
sinth and various strong beverages has
been so marked that the present admins
tration has taken this step toward curbink
1t. In passing 1t is worth noting that near
ly every leading member Of the present
French cabinet is total abstainer.
Remembering what is going on in oul
own country, it plainly appears that all
civilized nations are being reused TO a
realization of the fact that intelnperance
is their deadliest social peril and are tax
ing measures to diminish it.-New York
