survived the pestilence, but, with
health greatly broken down.
Emigrants from northern Europe
destined for Minnesota, continue to
arrive at Milwaukee and Chicago by
the thousand every day. AS they
are imposed upon in those cities by
swindlers and sharpers, Gov. Mar
shall has appointed Col. H. Mattson
state emigration agent at those
points to look after the interests of
the emigrants, and to advise and
assist them to various localities in
/ Minnesota.
The cigarmakers employed by
Hart & Kenkel on Jackson street
have struck for higher wages. They
are also making an effort to estab-
fish a trade union in this city.
Dillon O'Brien is home again from
Chicago, which place he visited on
behalf of the cause Of Irish emigra-
ton, and where he delivered a
course of three lectures to his coun-
trymen on the importance Of their
leaving the crowded cities, with
their poverty, hardship and want,
and settling upon the fertile and
healthful valleys of Minnesota, where
the prolific soil yields a competence
in less time and with less labor than
any other portion of the public do
main. Mr.. O'Brien describes the
rush of Scandinavians and Germans
thru Milwaukee and Chicago as I'M
paralleled in mum bers. If our state
legislature would provide for the
employment of a number of agents
like Mr.. O'Brien to carry on this
work, it would be but a short time
when every available piece of ground
in Minnesota would be cultivated.
The total amount of relief paid to
soldiers families since the beginning

proud record for St. Paul.
/ Alderman Dawson has notified the

jefferson school was destroyed by
fire Wednesday. 1t was built in
1857 at a cost of about $4,000, but

SIS, 900. The fire was the work of
an incendiary.
The commissioners appointed to
select a site for the insane asylum
report that they have chosen farm
near ST. Peter. The citizens of that
town have made gift Of the whole
of the "Dorrington farm" to the
state as an inducement for the loca-
ton at that place The members of
the commission are w. R. Marshall,
John M. Berry, S. J. R. Mcmillan
! and Charles McTlrath.
The matter of turning the market
house over to the school board to be
used as school building is looked
upon favorably by many. Since the
destruction eff the jefferson school
the need of such accommodations
has been sorely felt The market
house is centrally located, stoutly
built and can be MAIDS to contain
six rooms. 1t is built on a part of
six lots, all Of which belong to the
city, and which will make an ele-
giant large playground. Education
is more highly valued by the people
than fresh beef, which can be got
one place just as easy as another.
The editor of the Dakota County
Union thus pays his compliments to
R. C. Munger, our genial music
dealer: He is the most whole-souled
fellow that ever delighted an audi
ence with his music, a steamboat
captain with his presence at dinner,
! or party Of hale fellows we'll met
J on a lark about town. How St. Paul
: could spare him twenty-four hours
is beyond our comprehension. Ev-
| erybody is glad to see him, and
5 everybody is sorry when he goes.
