st. Paul. March 22.-The New York
Herald's special cable to the Pioneer
Press from Havana says:
The first announcement on authority
that the Maine was destroyed by eX-
ternal explosion and that the court of
inquiry so finds, has been received
here. 1t INT in the form of secret
instructions from Washington to Capt.
Sigsbce that he is to be returned to
active duty. This announcement sets
all doubt aside, for the reason that any
other finding than destruction by
means Of force externally applied
would mean a court martial for Capt.
Sigsbee. Indeed, I can state upon full
authority that a verdict declaring the
destruction of the Maine to be the re-
suit of unavoidable accident would be
followed by an immediate request
from Capt. Sigsbee for court martial.
By this means only could he hope to
purge himself Of blame. Any such ac-
ton will now be unnecessary on his
part as the finding of the court of in
quiry will place him right in the eyes
OF the world, and his return to duty
will be the administrators way Of
showing this. The announcement that
Capt. Sigsbee has been appraised of
this good news comes to me from II
whose name can not be used, but
whose word cannot be doubted and
whose source of information is the
same as Captain SigsGec's.

Minor Mills.

Milnor-Postmaster Jay H. Maltby
of this place has received official no
tice from the p%ostottice. department
that the Northern Pacific Railroad
company would carry the mail to this
place daily after April /. 1898. and that
the star route established between
Minor and Mosem would be discon-
tinued. This means that the railroad
company will run it's regular daily
trains, beginning April 1. for which
change we are truely thankful
Some time ago the farmers in the
Northern part of Sargent county and
the southern part of Ransom county
petitioned the Northern Pacific for an
extension of its Fergus Falls l. Black
Hills branch from this place to
Edgley, offering to donate the right of
way and a part of the labor if the ex-
tension was granted. The company
refused to extend the line, stating it
would build nc more road in the State
of North Dakota ut present, giving as
a reason the enactment of laws by
the state adverse to it's interests.

The Railroad Rate Cases.

Fargo-North Dakota people are Oh
siderably interested in the taking OF
the testimony in the railroad cases.
The work was begun in St. Paul IN
February, but Mr.. Grover, of the
Great Northern, had to go to South
Dakota to try some cases, and Mr..
Bum, of the Northern Pacific, had to
appear before the supreme court at
Washington, so Special Master Lowell,
who was appointed by Judge Amidon,
allowed the reads to take an adjourn
ment with the understanding that the
work be resumed about the middle OF
this month. So far nothing has been
done. Attorney General Cowan pro.
tested against the adjournment and
would not agree to any date for re-
Stunning the work, claiming that the
roads had already lost all rights by
not taking testimony within the time
limit set by Judge Amidon. The old
tariff rates are continued in the meali"
while, and now there is an effort on
foot to have the railroad commission
ers promulgate their proposed MAXI
mum rates and make an offer Of
shipment, at the same time preparing
the charges that would accrue under
the new schedule. and when the roads
refused this the commissioners could
then go into the state courts and fight
the roads by mandamus proceedings.
This would take the matter out OF the
United States court and facilitate a
hearing.

it was more ~disnifed for us to abstain from

we will have side by side with us all these
lukewarm politicians who. thought spaniards

scientific solutions of our colonial problems
what are honorable humiliations of our coun-

Seed Wheat.

Milnor-The Monarch Elevator com.
pany has shipped to this place 1000
bushels Of wheat from Henning,
MIMI, for seen, and the farmers Of
this vicinity are purchasing and ex,
changing their wheat now on hand for
this grain to be sown for the 1893 crop.
Although the price is high, the farm
ers say a change of seed will be ad.
vantage0us and that the yield from
the new seed will be increased l.. a
measure proportionate to the extra
cost The company has contracted for
about 1000 bushels of this wheat. and
the remainder will arrive at an early
date, There is no doubt that the
changing of the seed wheat from the
rich wooded soil Of Minnesota to our
prairie soil will improve both the
grade and yield of grain.

in severing the jugular or any OF the

The trouble with most young men is
that they do not understand the dignity
of manual labor. They do not realize
that honors and fortune may be more
readily realized outside of the so-called
learned professions than in them and
that it is just as honorable to swing
the hammer or to hold a plow as it is
to make a speech in court or amputate
a limb. The lesson young men should
be taught as early as possible is that
it is not SO much what a man does for
a living as it is how we'll he does it,
and that manual labor is as honorable
as any other.

The war against gum-chewing begun
by Bishop Vincent of the Methodist
Episcopal church is the result of too
much thought on a very cheap SUBJ
ject. The bishop thinks that to resist
gum is to prepare the young for self
sacrifice of a more important kind. If
they forego gum they will omit liquor,
and If they let that alone they will
let alone other things equally as bad.
1t is logic, but it is foolishness. And,
strange as it seems, the bishop is &C
tually in earnest.

with a small ball which the player

the solemn-faced golfer this description
