THE new GOVERNOR.
Joseph M. Devine Takes the Oath
of Office as Governor at
the Capitol.
Funeral of the Late Governor
Briggs at Howard Lake, MINI.
On Thursday Last.
Sad Accident of the Little Son of
Michael Lang at Mandan
Saturday.
Governor Deyine Here.

Joseph M. Devine, who is governor
OF the state by reason of the death of
the late governor, arrived in the city
Sunday morning and has assumed
the duties of his position as the execu-
tive of the state. Bv provision Of the
law, there are no formalities lying be-
tween the death of the executive and
the accession of the lieutenant gover-
nor. Under the constitution the lieu
tenant governor becomes governor
Immediately upon the decease of the
executive, by virtue of his position,
and without the taking of any other
oath than the one he took as lieuten-
ant governor. Under the law there is
no necessity for the oath of Office as
governor being administered, but the
oath was taken by Governor Devine
before Secretary Phelps today that
there might be no question of any
kind to arise, and to satisfy any
who might have thought the oath
necessary.
Governor Devine is we'll known in
the city and the state. He has long
been prominent educator, and has
been concerned with educational work
in all parts of the state. He is a
young man, we'll versed in the affairs
of state, has been lieutenant governor
for two years and is the republican
candidate for that position another
term. The duties that devolve upon
him as governor will doubtless be dis
charged with the ability and discretion
that has characterized his work as an
official and an educator.
George II. Phelps will continue as
private secretary during the unexpired
portion of the term of the late COVER
nor, and the Office force will remain
the same, Frank Moran continuing as
stenographer.

ject of some comment, but Mr.. Phelps,
who had charge of the affair, said it
was his fault. The sudden death of
the governor right in the midst of the
burning of Bismarck, he said, so dis
tracted him and everybody else that
this feature was forgotten, much to
his regret. He said he would make q
proper apology to Governor Clough.
Mrs. Briggs and daughter and Mrs.
Pierson returned to the city Sunday
morning. They were accompanied by
Commissioner Fancher, Governor De-
vine, Secretary Phelps and others
who had attended the funeral from
this city.

delighted everybody. 1t was full of fine
flashes of humor and kept the audience
in an uproar.

A COMPROMISE.

Railroad and Railway Commissioners
Reach An Understanding.
In the matter of the Wilmington Ia.
riff Association, compelling the railroads
TO issue one and two thousand mile in
Interchangeable mileage books at 2 cents
a mile, the commission agreed to allow
the railroads to sell mileage books N
present rates, but TO make them inter
changeable among members of one
family. 1t is stipulated, however, thai
the head of family purchasing mile
age ticket must give the names of tho
members of his family, and these are
to be recorded on the ticket, and car
he used only by the members of the
family having their names on thu
ticket.
This, the Tariff Association accepted
and the case was dismissed.
The Seaboard sells the one thousant
mileage tickets for $50 and the TIVE
thousand mile tickets for $40. Tn,
Southern railroad and the Coast Lin,
sell one thousand mile tickets for 81:
the same as the Seaboard, but get ST.
for the two thousand mile tickets
These rates continue in effect.
