Gov. Clough again took his position
ON the foundation of the building and
said: Il will request the commission
ers to place this box in the cavity pre-
pared In the corner stone for its recep-
ton"
Slowly the crane lifted the block of
granite and the copper box was placed
On the Foundation wherei the stone had
just rested. Quickly the workmen
went to work, and in q few minutes
thick coat of cement covered the
roundation OF the treasure box upon
which the stone was to set.
Gov, Clough then proceeded with his
remarks and said, This massive stone
Is production Of our own state, de-
signed by our architect and shaped
by the Skill OF our workmen, It gives
me great pleasure now to call upon
our honored fellow citizen, Alexander
Ramsey, the first territorial governor
of Minnesota, a man who has resided
among uE and watched with pride the
wonderful growth of this-f1rst terri
tory and then state-since 1S49, to lay

BEST PARADE SEEN HERE.
st. Paul Never Had n More Repre-
sentative Turnout


A better or more representative pa
rade than that of yesterday never was
seen in ST. Paul. Many of the chief ac-
tors in the civic and military history of
great crowds Of cheering people who
lined the streets. Ex-Gov. Alexander
Ramsey, whose life spans the period
from the beginning of Minnesota's
statehood, sat In a carriage beside Gov.
Clough, the present chief executive, and
in the same carriage rode Senator
Cushman X. Davis, who represents the
important part now being played by
the state in national affairs.
The four periods of the military his
tory of Minnesota were represented In
the columns of soldiers and veterans
afoot. There was the Fifteenth regi-
ment, the latest addition to Minnesota's
fighting forces, which was given the
right of line. To the young boys in
blue was accorded the honor of leading
the veterans Of the Civil war, the Blue.
berry war, and the pioneers who stood
on guard in the days of Indian strife.
Veterans Of the navy Of 81 were In the
ranks, and behind them marched a de-
tachment of the new naval organiza-
ton, the Naval corps, from Hastings.
And behind these marched the Eldridge
zouaves, composed of young men and
boys who may be expected in years to
come to be ready to respond to call
to arms. The past, present and future
were summed up in the columns that
marched to the music OF band and fife
and drum to the new state capitol.
1t was perfect day for a parade.

nizes in you a builder of great skill and ex-
perience. In its incipient territorial stage
you evolved a capitol from tamarack poles
in It's second stage of territorial infancy you
constructed one Of brick and mortar, and
now, when 1t has attained the highest grand
eur of statehood it again calls upon you to
lay the foundation of its splendid marble
home, the purity, durability and beauty Of
which SO truly typif1es Its position in the
glorious Union of American states.
But. well skilled as you are in this work,
you cannot perform it safely and surely with
out suitable tools. The state knowing this,
has prepared a mason's trowel Of pure silver
to aid you in your work, and has delegated
me to present 1t to you in the name Of the
great commonwealth. l am instructed to i'm
press upon you the necessity of extraordi-
nary care in its use, that fault or flaw
may find Its way into the future abode of

past sullied it's dignity or honor.
The strength Of man is in his brain and bone;

the tamarack poles of which the old Central
house, used as our first capitol in
1S49, was constructed. With such a tool, in
the hands of such a workman, success is
assured.

A season of great cheering followed
the governors declaration, and when
quiet was again restored Bishop Gill
bert pronounced the benedicition. He
said:
Unto Gods gracious mercy and protection
we commit ourselves and all the citizens of
this commonwealth, the governor and all
others in authority; the laborers upon these
walls and their families; those who shall, in
the days to come, meet and counsel in this
edifice; our sailors and soldiers on sea and
land, and all whom we would remember.

Gov. Ramsey Spread the Mortar and
the Rock Descended.

Gov. Ramsey was very brief In his
remarks. With a few pointed sallies.
which included the commission he ac
cepted the tool. He thanked the COM
mission for the honor and the speakers
for the kind things which they had
uttered in his behalf during the aft
ernoon. He had not intended to make
q speech, yet the eloquent remarks Of
Judge Flandrau inspired him to say
word. TO him it was a great pleasure
to participate in so important q cere-
mony, and the people of the state
would long cherish 1t in their memory
as one Of the pleasantest events in it's
history. He complimented the commits
sion upon the courageous fight they
had made and the skill and judgment
exhibited in all their deliberations as
servants Of the state.
With few deXterous movements of
the trowel the governor prepared the
bed Of mortar for the stone. The bands
in the vicinity played America and
the stone was slowly lowered by the
contractors. Meanwhile the audience
as one voice Joined in singing the ma
tional anthem.
Gov. Clough again stepped upon the
stone and In loud voice proclaimed
the work completed, saying: II pro-
