WILL VETO BILL
President Cleveland Against Inn
migration Law.
INCREASE IN PUBLIC DEBT

Deadlock in Utah Senate-Noted
Inventor of Rifles is Dead.
Will Retain kassola.

WASHINGTON, Feb. President
Cleveland will veto the immigration
bill if it comes to him for his consid-
Grafton. He has told several Senators
that he is opposed to the bill because
| it is unAmerican and because it con-
tains clause directed against Cana
da, which will certainly cause that
country to retaliate. The President is
not opposed to the general proposition
of restricting and controlling lmmigra-
ton. He does not object to the educa
tional test set out in this bill TO lie APP
piled to immigrants after July LIST next.
His chief objection is directed 10 that
section of the bill which would exclude
ignorant women and girls. He be-
lieves, with the opponents of the bill
in the House, that this clause will be
the means of separating and dividing
families. Each year thousands of men
come to America to prepare for their
wives and children left behind. After
this bill becomes effective the wives
and children thus left behind who could
not read or write would have to remain
abroad. 1t was argued by the friends
of the BILL in debate, that this objec-
tion is not well-founded, because these
wives and children would have ample
time to join their husbands in this
country before July next, when the
bill would become effective. President
Cleveland does not agree with the
members of Congress. He thinks that
thousands of families will be separated
permanently if this bill became law.
His other important objection is di
rected to the clause of the act which
prohibits Canadians from coming tenn
porarily to this country to labor while
maintaining their homes in Canada.
President Cleveland said to Senators
with whom he discussed the matter
that there were probably as many
Americans living on the northern from
tier who cross into Canada TO work as
there are Canadians who cross into
the United States. He foresees, there
fore, that Canada would soon pass an
act prohibiting Americans from work
ing in Canada, and thus the bill would
work an injury to Americans which
would be as serious as the evil sought
to be corrected.
The conference report on the bill
has not yet been taken up in the Sen
ate. The President, by giving his views
in advance to few Senators, hopes to
induce them to reject the conference
report and thus send the bill back to
particulars outlined. If the Senate
sends the bill to the President in it's
present form he will certainly veto it.

DEATH OF NORA HoUGH.
Died Friday Morning at Four O'Clock as
Result of Quick Consumption.

Died Friday Morning at Four O'Clock as q
Result of Quick Consumption.
AS has been anticipated for the past
month Miss Nora Hough died Friday
morning at o'clock, aged 81 years.
Early last spring the deceased young
lady was taken sick with the grippe
and throat troubles, which was followed
later with consumptive complications,
since which time she has slowly wasted
away until her spirit was called to the
better land. During her sickness the
deceased has been bouyed up with the
hope that che would recover, although
those who watched by her bedside
knew that the grim messenger was
waiting his turn. She was cheerful
and talked with her friends of the
seeming future before, when she would
recover. But it was not to be. The
weak spirit which clung to life with
strong tenacity was taken to the One
who gave it life.
Up to the middle of the summer the
deceased got along very nicely until
she commenced having trouble with
her stomach, which seemed to aggra
vate the case. Previous to her sick
ness in the spring Miss Hough had en-
joyed good health. She was sprightl
and bright and seemed to possess th'
longevity of life of the average person
The announcement of her death was
sad blow TO not only her relatives bu
her friends.
Until recently she was secretary G
the Mystic Legion lodge and acted q
secretary of the order. She was il
sured in that order to the amount {
81 200.

And the Members Settled the Ownership
of Some Personal Property.
Sheriff Cook summoned a sheriff's
jury Wednesday for the purpose
of determining, according to the evil
dence, the ownership of some personal
property upon which he had levied to
satisfy judgment. The circum-
stances of the case are about as follows:
Last March a judgment for Sl,726 was
rendered against S. D. Olmstead in
favor of Morris Martin, of Manchester,
Iowa, and Friday last Mr.. Martins at
torney. E. E. Wagner, arrived in the
city for the purpose of Satisfying the
judgment, placing the matter in the
hands of Sheriff Cook, who made the
levy Saturday. OF the property levied
on Mr.. Olmstead, under the law, took
out his exemptions and the balance of
the property was claimed by Mrs. Ohm
stead as her property. To determine
the ownership of the property held by
Mrs. Olmstead the assistance of the
sheriff's jury was called, which was
composed of the following named gen.
tlemen: F. D. Powers, W. Abbey,
Emil Becker. r. T. Robinson, Geo. A.
Johnston and o, H. Perry. Mr.. Wag.
ner was assisted by T. J. Spangler for
the plaintiff and w. n. Helwig took
care of Mr.. Olmstead's interests. It
took about three hours to get the evil
dence before the jury, Mrs. Olmstead
being on the witness stand the greater
portion of the time. The jury returned
their verdict to the effect that the
personal property belonged to Mrs. E.
L. Olmstead.

BIG DAMAGE SUIT ON HAND.

City of Mitchell is Sued for $4,000 for
Injuries Sustained by Ray Colwell.
Tuesday afternoon A. ]. Van Wagon
en-, of the firm of Zollman & Van Wag-
enen, of Alexandria, arrived in the city
and before the shades of night had fall
len had caused to be served upon Mayor
Thos. Fullerton summons and COM
plant, whereby suit is brought against
the city for SIS, 900 damages. The COM
plaint, signed by P. A. Zollman as at
torney, alleges that on the night of
September Is, an excavation or trench
was left open and unguarded, either by
signal light or any other protection
to indicate the danger, and that by the
reason of such absence of protection the
plaintiff, Roy Colwell, drove into such
excavation and was violently thrown
forward onto the dashboard of the bug
gy, at the same time the buggy was
overturned, precipitating him to the
ground and by reason of which he sus-
tained internal and other bodily injur-
les, among which was rupture. Mr..
Colwell further declares that by reason
of such injuries he is incapacitated
from further hard labor al his trade as
buttermaker, and will never be able
to perform work that is at all laborious,
and, therefore, claims damages to the
extent of Sl5, 1000.

Sad Funeral Ceremonies. /.

Sunday afternoon large concourse
of people gathered at the home Of
Mrs. John Hough, on west Third
street, to pay their last respects to her
deceased daughter, Miss Nora. The
occasion was one full of sadness, and
the pain of death was made to fall
unusually heavy upon the relatives,
for the father of the family only died
two years before. The young lady,
whose existence was cut off in the full
bloom of life, when its possibilities and
pleasures were unfolding, was the be-
loved one OF her home and the affection
hich bound them together was strong.

cred an address before the Equal Suf-

called the fifteen delegates, which had
then arrived, to order. Mrs. Simmons

haa occurred in the past and offered some
good advice and counsel as to the future

thorne. Mrs. Picker, as vice presi-
dent, offered a few remarks in reference
TO the past work of the association con-
corning what had been accomplished
in former years as to securing the fran
chise for woman. In q historical way
she associated the white ribbon of the

the suffrage movement, Mrs. Breeden
questioned the propriety of associating
prohibition with the present subject
and thought the entire forces should be
spent in bringing to a successful
issue and not sidetrack the
main issue. The president stat
ed that equal suffrage was the
main and the sole object Of
the meeting but that all w. G. T. u
ladies were welcome to join the move
ment. DR.. Eastman, an Indian preach
or, OF St. Paul, and DR.. Baskerville

READY TO BUY WHEAT.

Me, chants Grain Association to Take .
Hand In the Mitchell Wheat Market.
AS stated a few days ago the business
men OF this city felt that the farmers
were not getting the same price for
their wheat at this market as in the sur
rounding towns, the merchants have
got together and during the past few
days have perfected their plans for
buying wheat. They have secured the
services of Mr.. Samuel Whyte, an ex-
perienced grain buyer, to look after
their interests so far as keeping up the
house on the Milwaukee track has been
secured and Mr.. Whyte commenced
buying wheat yesterday.
