THIS is the great week for Elks in
the twin cities, and it is safe to pre-
dict that the largest herd Of these
horned animals ever before cOrralled
within single enclosure will be seen.
In looking over Sundays Minneapolis
Tribune we find seven pages devoted
to photographs of the twin city herd,
and the FREE PRESS will venture to
risk it's reputation that no finer
specimens will come from any section,
whether it be state or territory, than
those presented for the first time in
the columns of the Tribune. They
give evidence of having been we'll fed
and we'll groomed for the great event,
and no one will fail to note how hand
somely they show off. While the en-
tire Twin city herd has been named,
the individuals bearing such names
as Eustus, (Talk-a-Talkl Pratt, Big
Injun) Koerner, Heap money)ClOugh,

(Donnellynian Scorcher) Hall, Sweet
Singer Monfort, Great Feeder
Wheaton, (Kick-a-Poo) Winston, (The
Once Great) will attractspecial atten-
tion, and we are informed that these
extra fine specimens will be con-
spicuously exhibited in glass cages
with monkey and a hand organ to
help amuse the onlookers. It's going
to be great week for fact, and
everybody will be present Thursday
to witness the great parade.

Lightning struck A. d. Beach's
residence on State street last night.
1t first struck tree, and from there
passed into the house and tore one
corner of a carpet up and turned it
over, and then passed into the base
ment. No damage was done. An

The Robinson Bill.

There appears TO be a great deal OF mis-.
apprehension as to the status of this bill; q
person, from reading the paper published
at Marquette, would suppose it had been
killed deader than door nail, but such.
we are glad to say, is not the case, for it
may yet prove very lively corpse az it
rs still lying on the table of the senate.
We gatherfrom the Legislative Journal
oi April 20 that when the bill came up in
committee OF the whole Senator Mason
moved to strike out all after the enacting
clause, when Senator Robinson arose and
made his argument, speaking for forty
minutes. Senator Mason then took the
Hoor and spoke for one hour and quar-.
ter against it, after which Mr. Robinson
replied Tor about fifteen minutes. A di.
vision OF the senate was then taken when
IL was found that thirteen senator's voted
against Senator Mason's death blow and
WE'VE for it.-F'irst round for Robinson.
lbe bill was then placed on the order of
third reading, and pending the taking of
the vote Senator Westcott moved that
the senate adjourn, but the notion was
lost; Senator Latimer then moved that
the senate adjourn but that motion did
not prevail either, The bill was then nut
on its passage, but was lost. the vote

was majority OF the senator's voting.

our senator seeing the coseness OF the
vote and being a good fil liter, would not
succumb, and consequently moved To re-.
consider the vote. upon which Senator
Mason moved to lay Senator Robinson
motion on the table, upon which the LOT.
ter demanded the yeas and NAYS and il
was then found that Mr., Mason's motion
did not prevail, there being II yeas and

ent lies. When it ia called up again il
may or may not pass the senate. but Mr.
Robinson may be depended upon to make
a gallant fight for it. This gave the third
round to Robinson.
The paper published at Marauette ia
evidently trying to make it appear that
none OF the business men are IN favor Of
the bill. Such, however. is not the case
as one OF our friends who took the nett.
ton around among the business houses
here informs us he had no difficulty in
procuring their signatures.
For the benefit of the railroad people II
may be stated that the petitions in favor
OF the Robinson bill had about 8. 900 sig.

two referred to in the Marquette paper az

500 men employed on the Upper Peninsu
la roads, most OF whom no doubt signed
the protest, il will be seen that but few,
in proportion. OF the outsiders signed the
protest, and no doubt many, even oil
these, ride on passes.
The News is indeed pleased to under.
stand that Lieutenant Governor Dunstan
has at last shown his hand and now init
mates that he would like to see the bill
pass. This is indeed a surprise, but the
News hopes it may prove a straw to
show which way the wind blows. for the
railroad people may try to make out
that S .nator Robinson il trying to gain
some notorieTy by his action; but the
News believes that the voters in this part
OF he State look upon the bill differently
and those who oppose the bill, whether it
pas es or not, be they In the house or
senate, will belooked upon with suspicion
by the average voter, who il not likely
to endorse those two years hence who
now oppose the Robinson bill, which the
News believes is honestly intended TO
benefit the workingnan. At any rate, |
those who oppose it can scarcely expect
TO be regarded as feeling very friendly
towards the poorer classes and that's
where the votes come from IN this Upper
Peninsula of ours, and this the politicians
ire well aware of.

Mr.. Fl. Clay Evans of Tennessee has been
rendered the Office of commissioner OF
