of the dead man will be missed from his
usual haunts, and from the vehicle he
drove so long, and another of the city's
characters will be numbered among
those who have been laid to rest on the
brow of Cemetery Hill.
Lieutenant Governor Worst is up
from Emmons county. He reports
farmers there all busy with seeding, and
the majority of them putting in a larger
acreage of corn than usual. He says
they are hopeful of good results this
year. as the general opinion seems to be
that this season will see a fair crop har-
vested. Governor Worst leaves tonight
for Griggs, Steele and Nelson counties,
where he is booked to deliver institute
lectures, and he will be absent about
two weeks.
A half dozen convicts have been at
work at the capitol for a week or so
cleaning up the grounds and preparing
for their beautifyipg this spring and
summer. Superintendent Marshal is
having tree holes dug, and from 300 to
400 trees will be set out this spring. The
grounds will be sown to clover and other
grass, and a strip Of forty feet on each
side of the roadway is to be sown to
lawn grass. A decided improvement
will be noticeable this summer, and the
grounds will present a handsomer ap-
pearance than ever before.
Some noticeable improvements are
visible at the waterworks pumping
station, which have been made under the
direction of Engineer Hughes. The
sides of the place have been bricked up,
making solid and substantial walls, and
the floor is now of cement. The interior
Of the engine room has been remodeled,
after the pattern of pumping stations in
larger cities, affording much more room
and light, and making the place more
convenient of access. In addition to
this, the place has been neatly repaint-
ed, and is now, without doubt, the best
arranged pumping station in the state.
President Lyon, of the First National
bank of Mandan, who is one. of the re-
%ceivers of the milling association, came
from the east Tuesday. An inventory of
all the property of the association is be-
ing made and will be turned over to the
receivers. and as soon as the formal parts
of the transfer are completed, the active
work of the mills will begin, although
Mr.. Lyon thinks it will be ten days yet,
before the local mill will begin to grind.
AS soon as work begins the receivers
will be able to see whether the business
Of the association a be operated at a
profit, and then there will be a basis to
make definite arrangements for the
future. ..e
Judge Winchester has been in COR
respondence with Judge Mcconnell, of
the Fargo district, for some days, rela-
tive to the trial of the Kent case, and it
is probable that at the next trial Of the
case Judge Mcconnell will preside.
The latter is busy with work at Fargo at
present, however, and will be for about
three weeks, after which he will be at
liberty to hear the case. A motion for
a change of venue from Morton county
will be made by Attorney Hildreth for
the defense, and after the final arrange
ments are made between the two judges,
Judge Mcconnell will hear this motion
and set a time and place for the second
trial of the case.
The postmaster general has amended
the postal laws and regulations regard
ing holidays. The amendment states
that postmasters may observe as holidays
January l, February %, May 80, July 4,
the first Monday in September, known as
Labor day. Decembere25, and all such
other days as the president of the United
States or the governors in their respec-
tive states may designate as fast or
thanksgiving days or proclaim specially
as holidays. On other occasions their
offices can be closed only after permits
sion obtained therefor from the depart
ment. Upon holidays %postofices must
be opened sufficiently to facilitate the
public convenience.
On the court calendar for the May
term at Fargo, before Judge Mcconnell,
is the case of Allen vs.. Allen, which will
attract considerable attention when it
comes up for trial. The plaintiff is the
noted Gen. Harrison Allen, and the &C.
ton is for a divorce from ANNA P. Allen,
to whom the general was married in De-
oember, 1864, at Warren, Pa. There has
been 10 issue of the marriage, and the
plaintiff seeks an anuulment Of the mar
riage relations on the ground Of deser-
ton. The bill Of complaint says the de-:
PENDANT left the plaintiff, who was then
a resident Of Fargo, in 1888, and has
since continued to reside in Warren, Pa,
and refuses to again live with the plain
