that portion Of it located in St.
Paul. 1t is intended to make a
public sale of all the property here
belonging to that estate as soon as
the necessary arrangements can be
made. A great deal of it is located
in Kittson's addition and many lots
are scattered through the most val
liable portion of the business dis
trict. The total value is placed at
about $500, 900,
When we consider the rapid
change in the state of Minnesota for
the past five years it seems that this
is an old instead of a new state, not
ten years of age. The business in
the transportation of goods, lumber
and produce is immense. We are
informed by F. R. Delano, superin-
tendent Of the St. Paul and Pacific
road, that 100 tons Of merchandise
and other freight is passed over the
road daily; that It's tons was the
daily average for May. What dis
position is made Of such vast guam
titles Of freight we are unable to
determine. During the months of
April, May and June over $4,000
passengers were transported over
the road. This is almost as sur
prising as the freight list. When
the road reaches ST. Cloud we ex-
pect both parts will be nearly
doubled, and only few short years
since, this was the home of the In
dian and the haunts of the wild
beasts.
J. H. Mckenzie, the man who
made the daring capture Of Little
Six and Medicine Bottle, the two
Sioux chiefs who took leading part
in the massacre Of 1862 and fled to .
the British possessions, is in the
CITY, Mr.. Mckenzie was subjected
to great exposure and suffering in
capturing these Indians, and we are
glad to learn there is a movement /
on foot to recompense him for his
sufferings. A petition to the legis-
lature is in circulation.
Another meeting of soldiers took
place at the capitol last evening for
the purpose of establishing state and
county organizations for the perpet-
uation of the kindly feelings which
existed between the comrades on
the march, in camp and on the bat
tlefeld. While calculated to con-
fer substantial favors upon a class
whom it were criminal to neglect,
it will at the same time have an
elevating tendency upon all con-
cerned. The soldiers of the republic
have done the state some service,
the extent of which is not as gener-
ally appreciated as it deserves. The
new organization is to be a secret
one and will be called the Grand
Army of the Republic Gen. San
born is chief commander and DR..
Mattocks secretary.
The North Star Mining company
has quartz mill humming for the
precious metal of the Vermillion
lake gold mines. Mr.. Joseph Clark
has just come down with consider
able number of fine specimens of the
gold and silver bearing quartz, be-
sides some gold bullion.
Many Of our old settlers will re-
member the "Old Gents Band"
which was a portion Of Sally St.
Clair's Varieties" which were here
in 1857. They will remember, too,
the exquisite flute solos which al
ways brought down the house. We
have heard that futist spoken of
during the nine years
that have elapsed. To the surprise
and delight of those who used to
Iinger over the sweet tones of his
flute in 1857, we saw him again on
the stage at Ingersoll's hall as part
Of Houdin's orchestra, and again
heard him MARBLE: In short, Prof.
N. d. w. Ainsworth is again among
US, and, better than all, he proposes
RI cattle here If he can find an ODen-
