Weiss Not Statistical,

Wolfgang Weiss, the farmer in Rem.
Vile county, who was awarded $50 an
acre for the land which the state wants
for park to keep green the memory of
the men who fell fighting at Birch Coulee,
is said to be thinking of appealing to
the district court on the ground that he
was offered too little. If the farm land
in the interior of the state, remote from
the center of population is worth $50 an
acre, it would pay the farmers of the
state to sell out and buy cheaper lands
in other localities. But if Mr.. Weiss
thinks the award of the commissioners
too small, the state thinks it is too large,
and if he appeals, he will find the state
trying to cut his $50 down to about $50
or less. Indeed, it has not been settled
that the state itself will not appeal from
the award. The attorney general has
been consulted by the adJutant general,
and there are reasons for believing that
the courts may hold the award to be en-
tirely too high.-Mnneapclis journal.

A PLEASANT EVENT.
Cassasa Visits the Band Boys of the
Christian Brothers.

Signor G. H. Cassasa and Messrs.
Noting and APPEL We're the guests of the
Christian Brothers for a short time last
evening. The full orchestra of twenty
six students was present, and after they
had played three or four selections un-
der the direction of Professor Charles
a. Neale, Signor Cassasa had quite a
long and interesting talk with the boys.
He told them of the struggles of his
early boyhood in company with the Va
lergaS and other artists, and how music
was not learned in day, a month or a
year. He bade them study, to get a
coed tone out of their instruments and
to work steadfastly and conscientiously
until some day they would awake and
find that they were no longer amateurs,
but artists
Nothing could give the band greater
encourag cement than the two visits of
Signor Cassasa and Messrs. Noting and

W hile he had listened to a great many
bands, he had never heard so young an
orchestra. 1t is not wise to praise chill

sasa's special commendation. Sacra-

Mrs Wahl was led to believe that A
man and his wife lodging in the house
had committed the theft, and upon her
information the woman was arrested,
taken to the police station. searched and
questioned There was found upon her
person thirty-fve cents, and she de-
clared her ignorance OF any knowledge
of the robbery.
She was finally released, after which
the man was arrested. Only ninety five
cents was found upon his person, and a
search of their belongings failed to
resurrect any suspicious property.
The officers are satisfied that the sus-
pects We're innocent and are inclined to
the belief that the robbery was the work
of a Chinaman.

Purporting to be Dispatch Received
From Washington.
The Plans, SO the Story Goes, Pro-
vide That the British Fleet Shall
Force the Passage of the Dar-
danelIes, and Shall Do the Active
Fighting, the American Ships to
Follow Behind and Preserve Order.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE "St. James
Gazette" to-day publishes a special dis
patch from Washington in which it is
asserted that the United States will
help England in any operations under
taken in Turkish waters for the protec-
ton of Christians.
According to the dispatch, President
Cleveland has determined definitely
that the United States ship Bancroft,
row on her way to the Mediterranean,
shall enter the Bosphorus with or with
out the permission Of the Sultan, and
shall make her way to Constantinople,
even if force be necessary.
The American Government, the dis
patch says, has been fully informed of
the plans of Lord Salisbury, and is pre-
pared to cooperate in them. These
plans provide that the British fleet shall
force the passage of the Dardanelles
and shall do the active fighting. The
American ships will not engage the
Turkish forts, hut will follow behind the
British fleet and will preserve order.
Several of the leading provincial pa
pers, including the Leeds Mercury
NiberaD and the Yorkshire Post
Conservative concur in the view that a

awe the Sultan and compel him to eX-
tend protection to Christians would be
a magnificent and effective co-Opera-
ton.
THE STORY DOUBTED.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE story
published in the English papers to-day
stating that the American Government
had decided to cooperate with Eng
land in the operations in Turkey is
doubted here. 1t is thought that IL orig
mated from the fact that the Bancroft
and Cincinnati were both ordered to
Turkish waters.
Prominent officials here state that If
England should begin Warlike opera
tiCnS against Turkey the American YES
sells would undoubtedly cooperate in
the way Of saving the lives of Chris
tians and preventing maSSacreS as Tar
as possible, but they do not believe that
any definite agreement of cooperation
has been entered into. They believe
that the dispatching of the Bancroft
and Cincinnati was a purely independ-
ent move on the part of the Govern
ment.
