by a large and appreciative audi
ence at the court house hall on
Wednesday evening. Before in
Producing the speaker, Superin-
tendent Fancher announced that
other features in addition to the

the occasion had been selected as
appropriate for the presentation Of
diplomas to two young ladies who,
during the past year, had success

OF his deeds and of his character,

crowned King of the republic"
At the close of the lecture, Miss
Amidon favored the audience with
another beautiful solo, following
which Mr.. Devine in we'll chosen
words presented the common
school diplomas, granted by Supt.
Fancher, to Misses Gabrielle and
Sylvia Manseau. He c%ongratu-
lated them upon their success in
their studies and upon the honor
they enjoyed in being the first
class in the county to secure these
diplomas. He urged that this
might prove to them the thresh-
hold to greater success course
at the high school, the Normal
school or the University, and that
they would become strong factors
in assisting to further develop in
everyway, this magnificent county
of Ramsey. The young ladies
were becomingly attired in white
and made a very attractive appear
ance on the platform in receiving
their we'll earned testimonials of
success. They are two daughters
Of Mr.. P. A. Manseau, who lives
five miles west of this city.
Supt. Fancher states that here
after the graduation Of pupils
from the common schools Of the
county will be made one feature of
the summer training school and
that in the future there will with
out doubt be large graduating
classes, as good teachers and dill
gent, earnest pupils in the schools
are rapidly taking possession of
the domain that is so rightfully
theifs. The charming rendition
of 4, CLOSING solo by Miss Amidon,
brought to an end an evening full
to dveraowing for teachers and
citizens in attendance.

them will be some handsome
buildings.
Chas. Taylor has purchased the
little cottage Of R. T.. Cleveland.
Charlie was fortunate in having
secured so desirable a piece of land

A system of numbering the

Frank Hoadley, Of Company D.,

the accident will not be so bad as
is now feared-a loss of the eve.
The suggestion of laying out a

Mr.. LaRue promises to have a

Considering the very large num-
Der of people who have been pre-

congratulation that not one case

Parties have left their tents un-
protected for hours and in everv

ercises were opened in the audi
forum by a speech from chief
Little Shelf or known to the In
dams as Tiyowaste. Little Shell
has great influence on the reserva-
ton, and it is said can give old
politicians pointers, notwithstand-
ing that last year he cast his first
vote. His speech was interpreted
by Alex DeMars, a half breed.
Little Shell did not express any
particular welcome to his white
brethren, but told his tale of woe,
making a favorable impression.
1yakumoi, a Cut Head Indian, also
made a few remarks. Rev. Cooper
then called attention to the great
progress made by our red brethren
and his short address was atten-
lively listened to.
In the afternoon about twenty
braves, dressed and undressed,
painted and feathered, some al
most hidious, and others as bright
as rainbows, gathered on the base
ball diamond and to the music of
the tom-toms danced their famous
war dances. Hundreds Of kodaks
were turned loose and those fortu-
nate enough to possess one will
take away a very interesting and
valuables ouvenir. After the war
dance, the band played a game Of
football in their native style and
proved themselves expert kickers.
The spectators thoroughly enjoyed
this part Of the program.
The Indian ball team from the
band then played the second nine
from Devils Lake, but the game
was called off after four innings,
the score standing about 25 to 3 in
favor.of the Indian boys.
The peculiar game, Of lacrosse
was then commenced. This is the
favorite Indian game and thdj
take great interest in it. The
crowd howled themselves hoarse
and If noise can govern apprecia-
ton, the Chautauqua visitors were
certainly pleased.
At supper time the Indians
gathered in the neighborhood of
Rev. Cooper's tent where they
Toasted, smoked and talked. Their
presence here was a great attrac-
ton and Indian Agent Getchel
deserves great credit for thus as
sisting the successful closing of an
interesting day.
The excursion att 7:10 in the
evening for the benefit of the as

and highly enjoyed, a large num-
Der riding on the beautiful waters

Lac annual meeting OF the quill
drivers of the state met in solemn con-
clave at Grand Forks Wednesday, after
having got over the excitement attend
ing the many novelties and court
esies Q Q and extended. The attend
ance' this year is the largest ever, and
matters of much Importance to the
fraternity were brought to notice and
anallzed more infinitely than the
grading of an insurance statement.
The address of retiring PresidentCus
ing was a masterpiece for the many
"Hits and Mrs." made-all pertaining
to the craft-giving a word picture of
the ups and downs of an editor in hard
luck-and otherwise. The address was
clear, original and every sentence hit
a bulls eye. The bone of contention
was where the next meeting, in 1900,
should be held-Fargo or Devils Lake.
OF curse we won out, the Chautauqua
being the greatest drawing card that
could be presented. Devils Lake feels
complimented and the association is to
be congratulated for the honor. Fol
lowing will be at the BARS of the big
craft the coming year:

The reports of various officers we're
past, and all were very favorable, espe-
tally that of the treasurer which
showed that there was something like
$500 in the treasury.
The matter of excursions wa discuss
ed at some length. It was decided
that on'all excursions to be given by
the association, none but bona fde
editors shall be allowed to attend.
This is a matter that has caused a
good deal of contention in the ranks
of the newspaper men. 1t has now
been finally settled, and to the salts
faction of everyone.
The annual excursion to be given by
the association will take place Some
time in December and will be to
Washington D. q. This will make a
most delightful trip and will undoubt-
eddy be attended by a large number
from the state.
The editors annual meeting.
closed Wednesday evening and
the editors, their wives and ladies
were given a drive about the city,
which they apparently enjoyed.
They were a tired, sleepy lot when
they went to bed, but they were
all up bright and early Thursday
and ready for the excursion to
Bemidji. The train pulled out
shortly after 8 o'clock, the editors
occupying a coach by themselves
through the courtesy of President
Hill, with big banners on the out
side, which informed the curious
public that the coach contained
the members of the North Dakota
Press association. They will re-
turn Friday evening and depart

AN EXTRA SESSION
Of the Pennsylvania Legislature Is
Probable.

Harrisburg, Pa, April 2O.-The ses-
sion of the general assembly of 1899 ad
journed finally at noon today, after hav
ing been in session a little over three
and a half months. The session was
one of the shortest in the states his
tory and was fraught with interest
throughout by reason of the spirited
contest for United States senator. 1t
closed without the election of a sue
cessor to Matthew Stanley Quay and
unless Governor Stone calls an extra
session, at which there will be an cleo
ton, Pennsylvania will have only one
representative in the United States SEN
ate the next two years.
On account of the failure of the leg
islature to pass such legislation as
would have wiped out the deficiency of
So 500, 900 in the state treasury and COW
cred the estimated ordinary expenses
of the state government for the next
two years, it is not improbable that an
extra session will be called. Politics
was injected into the bills having for
their purpose the completion of the state
capitol, for which the state has already
expended a half million dollars, and it
IS not likely that any work will be done
or the building the next two years.

early in March and in which II white
and about 400 colOred men were drown
ed Eighty luggers and six schooners
were wrecked The damage is estimated
at $3.50 900. The channel island light
ship and four men were lost at Douglas
Spit. A colored man reached shore
with two women after swimming four
days Many porpOises were found at
the height of so feet. They were thrown
up by the sea.
Stones were embedded in trees to the
depth of six inches and rocks weighing
tons were thrown up. Two colored wO-
men swan for ten hours with their
children loaded on their backs, but the
children were dead when they landed.
The height of the storm seems to have
been experienced on Flinders and Mel

Wave and Admiral were all lost, only
one life being saved. A large number
of bodies have been found and buried.
The full extent of the loss will never

OPENED MAY |.
Propositions to Sell a Site and
Buy the City Building.

The auditorium proposition will be
opened in earnest simultaneously with
the opening of the bids for the site of
the new building and the purchase of
the present city building at the corner
of Seventh street and Kansas avenue
on the evening of May l. All bids must
be filed with the city clerk by the even
ing of April 28 and the regular month
" meeting of the council Will be held
on the Monday evening following.
The bonds authorized at the last cleo
ton will be issued some time after the
opening of the bids, possibly not before
the selection of a site is made. One or
more offers for their purchase is eX-
pected from Topeka banks, and there
will be several offers from eastern con-
Germs. The sale of the bonds Will be
an easy matter and the rate of interest
will be low.
The only feature that is just now
worrying those interested in seeing
combined auditorium and city hall built
is the sale of the present city building.
For several years the building has been
responsible for a revenue to the city OF
over So rec a year, but it is inadequate
to the requirements and is a disgrace
to the capital of Kansas. The building
is properly a business house and should
bring between $40, 600 and $40, ,0OO- Some
of the auditorium promoters advocate
holding it and building an auditorium
exclusively with the bond issue OF $780,
600. but there would be legal obstacles
in the way of such an arrangement.
After the opening of the bids at the
regular monthly meeting a date will be
set for the hearing of the claims of
the various people who may desire the
city to become the purchaser of their
respective properties. The selection of
a site will not be difficult through any
lack of offerings, for with few eXcep-
tions every piece of property large
enough to accommodate the proposed
building, lying adjacent to the business
portion of the city, will be included. By
the evening of April %, City Clerk
SquireS will have listed with him an
array of Topeka property greater in
value and volume than any real estate
agent has been able to boast since the
time of the boom.
Corners and inside lots on Kansas
avenue, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison,
Quincy. Monroe and Madison streets.
and the intersecting streets from Third
to Twelfth street, will be offered as sites
FOR the proposed building. After the
hearing of the various contestants for
the purchase money the site will be de-
termined by a majority vote of the
council.
1t is expected that the building will
be completed by fall. 1t is then pro-
posed to have a grand opening, prob
ably under the auspices of the Topeka
Commercial club, and similar to the
opening of the Kansas City convention
