St Paul. Sept. 30.-The Carver claim
to the site of st. Paul and part of Min
neapolis, it is reported from Napoleon,
o., will be revived and pushed. Cap
tain Jonathan Carver came to the
northwest in 1866 and lived for time
in what has since been known as Car
vers Cave. near the Indian mounds
where the aborigines buried their dead.
For various services these Indians
ceded to him about 100 square miles of
territory at this point.
Later various cesSiOnS of land were
made by the Indians to the general
government, but no InentiOn was made
in any treaties Of this land so that
it was considered an imperfect title.
Carver, a grandson OF the old pioneer.
came here in lSiS to settle the claim.
but congress would not recognize him
or his claim. The original document
ceding the land from the Indians to
Captain Carver was for several years
kept at the state historical library as
a curiosity and was destroyed in the
state capitol fire in 1881.

The enlightened public hardly credit the
fact that, not half way to California, are
| a race of people who still cling to the
barbarous fanatical practice introduced
by the early Jesuit priests. In Colorado,
New Mexico and Texas there is a class
of enthusiasts styled "Penitentes,' de-
scenden,s of the ancient Aztecs the native
inhabitants of Mexico. These Penitentes
congregate at convenient localities once
every year to atone by self-inf1icted tor
lures for their sins. thinking thereby to
obtain absolution and believing that any
crime they may have perpetrated during
the preceding year will by these vigorous
means be wholly pardoned
A favorite method of the Penitentes for
the atonement of ordinary sins, such as
drinking, gambling and petty larceny, is
to form in single file, led by a priest
