which tends to prove that the early in

their utensils for scraping skins would
have been useless. The implements found
are more crude in workmanship than
those discovered in the Minnesota

MINNESOTA NEWS.
The Governor Calls Upon the People
to Give Thanks.
In Accordance With the Time Honored
Customs He Names the Day Desig-
mated by the President.

The president of the United States has,
by proclamation, designated Thursday,
Nov. 49, as a national day of thanksgiv-
ing, and now, therefore, in view of this
fact, and pursuant to well established
custom, I, Samuel r. Van SAINT, governor
of Minnesota, would request that said
day be observed throughout the state as
Thanksgiving day.
The year about to close has been one
of greatest prosperity to the state and
nation; especially in our commonwealth
have we reason to rejoice.
The product of our telds forests and
mines have enriched our people. Labor
in town, city and country has been well
employed and generously rewarded.
Heaven has indeed smiled upon us.
/ would earnestly recommend that our
people abstain on that day from their
usual yocations and assemble in their
customary places of worship and then
and there raise their voices in praise
to Almighty God for His manifold bles-
sings and invoke his continued guidance
in years to come From your abundance
give to those who have been unfortunate
and are in need of charity, that the day
may be one of rejoicing and thanksgiving
to all our people.
While still in the midst of the great
gloom occasioned by the untimely death
of our late beloved president let US be
comforted and resigned by the words:
1T is Gods way. His will be DONE not
our" and thank divine Providence for
the influence of his noble and useful life
Given under my hand and the great
seal of the state of Minnesota, this 18th

Training school.

The state board of control will decide
upon a site for the new girls training
school the latter part of this month All
OF the sites offered will be carefully in
spected. The board feels that the site
should comprise not less than eighty
acres and that the school should be fash
1oned and conducted somewhat after the
manner of farmhouse, with dairy stock
and poultry. where the girls can be
trained in the duties which fall to the
lot of farmers wives.
The towns now in the field for the
school are Red Wing. Pine City, Kenyon,
Austin, ST. James, Wabasha, Glencoe,
Hutchinson, Litchfieid and Hinckley.

GUARD LIES OF WOUND.
The Twenty-six Convicts Who Es-
capped from Kansas PenItentiary
Now Liable for Murder.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. Isl. b.
Waldrupe, a guard the Fort Leaven-
worth military prison. who. was shot
during the mutiny at that institution
on November z. died Saturday Of his
wounds. TWenty-six mutineers now
become liable to charge of murder.
1t was generally supposed that Frank
Thompson, the negro who led the re-
volt, fired the shot that caused
Walrupe's death Thompson is one of
the II conyicts who have been cap
tured since the outbreak.
Waldrupe was born in Greenback,
Tenn, in 1876. He served in Cuba DUR
ing the Spanish war, in the United
States volunteer signal corps, later
becoming a guard at the prison. Dur
ing the mutiny Waldrupe. was sta
toned in a tower on the stockade. In
fight that ensued he was shot in the
hip. He fell to the floor, but raised him
self and fired into the crowd, killing
Quinn Fort, one of the ringleaders. A
moment later Waldrupe while in the
act of firing again was struck between
the eyes with pistol bullet. Then
several convicts ran up the tower to
secure weapons. Waldrupe, although
mortally wounded, dubbed the first
man down with his rifle, but was too
weak to further defend himself and
was rescued by other guards.

Tenant Farmers.

An increase in farm landlords and
tenants in Minnesota and the Dakotas
is noted in the industrial commissions S
report just out. 1t says:
Farm tenancy is considered from a
number of different points. of view There
is some testimony to the effect that capi-
talists, foreseeing that agricultural land
is likely to increase in value are buying
up small farms near, acquiring them
through the foreclosure of mortgages,
and putting on tenants.
This practice is said to be growing in
the richer portions of Minnesota, the Da-
kotas and other states

Flax ReceiDfs.

The receipts of flax at Duluth for the
month of November to date have been
more than 100000 bushels day. which is
far larger than received in any previous
year here. or than is now being received
at any other point in the United States
It is probable that these big figures will
continue for some weeks, and that at
their close the wheat receipts will be
larger. Grain men expect that there will
be steady and continuous business In
receipts all winter.

Brigands Cut Amount of Ransom.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 1s.-The brig
ands who captured Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone and Nine. Tsilka have reduced
the amount of ransom they demand
to 10000 pounds Turkish. Coinci-
dent with this intelligence is the
information that the leaders of the
band, if convinced that this is more
than Mr.. Dickinson will give, would
accept e15,O00. Even this sum is
greatly beyond the cash at Mr.. Dick
inson's disposal. Therefore, unless
the captors of the missionary further
abate their demands, there is no hope
of an immediate settlement

She Waited.

Even Scotchman cannot always be
humorous, IL he would. Like other
people. however. he is sometimes
funny without meaning to be. The
Scottish-American thinks that the
message sent by young man in
Peeblesshire to his waiting bride may
have kept her from worrying over his
nonappearance. but that she must after
all have received it with mixed feel
ings.
The bride elect lived in a village some
distance from the home of William. the
bridegroom. The wedding was to be at
her home. On the eventful day the
young man started for the station, but
on the wGy met the village grocer, who
talked so entertainingly that William
missed his train.
Naturally he was In what is known
as state of mind" Something must
be done and done at once. So he sent
the following telegram:
Don't marry till l come. WILLIAM.
If the bride elect knew her William,
she probably knew how he felt when he
sent the message and forgave the men
tai confusion which resulted In what
she must have looked upon as u need
less request.
