Peculiar children, and, by the

many to be extraordinary good
looking, handsome fellows. and we

US deeply that we unfortunately
are not endowed in particular like
some of the few, we modestly re-
frain from exploiting our features
to the public; even yet, at the
same time, we are doing business
at the same stand and are quite
confident of success in the future

THE NATION MoURNs.

Its chief executive, and Its official
head is passing through the valley
Of the shade of death-in humilia-
ton because the president of our
republic has fallen victim to the
cruel and cowardly methods EN-
ployed in monsrchles, where help
less and hopeless subjects some
times meet arbitrary power with
violence.
In morals and in the contem-
plation of law all lives are of equal
vslue-are priceless, but when 49,
OOO,ON0 of people select one of
their number and invest him with
the authority which attaches to the
presidency he becomes their repre-
sentative. and blow aimed at him
is resented as an attack upon all.
Beneath the partisanship of the
individual lies the patriotism OF
the citizen. sometimes dormant, II
is true, but always active in hours
of peril or misfortune. While the
presidents life hangs in the bal
ance there are no party lines. The
grief of personal friends and close
political associates may be more
poignant, but their sympathy is
not more sincere than that ex-
tended by political opponents.
Although none but his family and
his physicians are admitted to his
room, all his countrymen are at
his bedside in thought and sentl-
ment, and their prayers ascend for
his recovery. 1t was .characterist
of his thoughtfulness that even
amid the excitement following the
assault he cautioned his compan-
ions not to exaggerate his condi-
ton to his invalid wife.
The latest dispatches give graf
flying news of his improvement, but
there is still deep solicitude lest
nnfsvorable symptoms may yet ap-
pear.
as there to be no difference
between our constitutional govern
ment and those despotic govern
ments which rest, not upon the
consent of the governed but upon
absolute force? There is no place
for anarchy in the United States,
there is no room here for those
who commit, counsel or condone
murder. no matter what political
excuse may be urged i'll its defence.
The line between peaceful agita-
ton and violence is clear and dis.
tinct. We have freedom of speech
and freedom of the press in this
country aud they are essential tc
the maintenance or our liberty.
Ii any one desires to criticise the
methods of government or the con
due, OF an official, he has perfect
right to do so, but his appeal must
be to the intelligence and patriot
ism Of his fellow citizens, not te
force. Let no one imagine that he
can improve social or political cor
ditions by the shedding of blood.
Free governments may be over,
thrown, but they cannot be re
formed. by those who violate the
commandment, "Thou shall mo-
kill"
Under government like ours
every wrong can be remedied by
law, and the laws are in the hands
of the people themselves. An
archy can be neither excused mol
tolerated here. The man who
proposes to right public wrong

riders and bucking horses, the
prizes are liable to leave the state

The belt to be given for this
contest is one of the handsomest
that could be procured and will
cost over $500. 1t is being made
by Tiffany, of New York City, of
solid silver with proper ornamen-
tations. The rider who wins it

A photograph of the belt has been

Bucking horses are also in grea

offered for the best bucker. The

the substitution of Krag-Jorgenson rifles
for Springfields, he said: T.
''Fhe amendment will, in all probable
ity, go through this week. AS you know.

adjutant general and governor in the
Union, asking them to get the support
of their congressman for the amend

my communication, but [ have received
answers from the following: Senators

minnesota anI Wisconsin Have En-
tered Into This arrangement.
Tn addition to the annual game be-
tween the varsity teams of Minnesota
and Wisconsin, freshmen games will also
be a regular feature and the hearts of
the CT" rooters are greatly rejoiced IN
consequence. This arrangement Is the
result of correspondence between the ath-
letic boards of the two universities. This
year the varsity game will be played at
Madison, and the freshmen fixture will
be played off at Northrop field. Next
year it will be the other way.
Under the present arrangement an ex-
citing game will be seen annually by
the rooters of both institutions. for If
the freshies do not play quite so high
grade of football they more than make
up for this deficiency by the vim AMI
fierceness which they infuse into the
game 1t Is also proposed to play the
two games on the same date so that tel
egraphic bulletins can be flashed to and
fro and keep. both crowds Informed as TO
the progress of the games
One great benefit which the innovation
is sure to bring about is the certainty
of developing good material for the var
sity teams. Freshmen who are to nave

In an intercollegiate game will train with
more assiduity than If only class games
were on the seasons schedule.
It is reported that those in charge or

The secretary of the Trades and Labor
assembly of this city has received off,

contention between Typographical TJnio5

drawn by the union.
Senator D. Ray $ anti-poo1 bill and SEN
ator Johnsons arbitration bill were both
strongly opposed by the Duluth local
federation of Labor at it's regular meet
Ing Friday, night. The federation is a
union OF delegates from the various
trades assemblies of the city. The feder-
alton opposed the anti-pool bill because
1t was supposed to be an anti-boycott
measure under another name, and the
federation thinks the boycott is a humane
and valuable club which it does not want
to lose. The arbitration bill was consid
cred unsatisfactory, unconstitutional
and altogether inmater;al, irrelevant and
incompetent.
The receipts of the Minneapolis Car
penters' union for the past year were

crease in wages to carpenters on ac-
count of the union was was not less than
