Washington, D. c., Aug. 81 Osler-
ism was practiced here in Washington
this week, and the National Zoo
mourns the loss of Lobengula, the
largest African lion in captivity, and
one of: the most perfect specimens
ever brought to this country. The
big beast was nearly twenty years
old, having been presented to the Zoo
when cub by Henry G. Moore, a III.
is. consul during President Cleyeland's
second administration, and has been
one of the leading attractions at the
park for long time. EARLY last spring
the big lion suffered an attack OF
pneumonia, from which he never re-
covered, and for the last six months
had been peaceful, dull-eyed animal,
eating little and paying attention to
no one. Since early July Lobengula
suffered intense pain, and 1T finally
was decided to end his misery by the
lchoroform route. Accordingly, he
was bound to the four corners of his
cage with stout ropes engaging his
feet and his neck and body, and then
after three hypodermic injections Of
morphine. sponge saturated with
the anaesthetic was placed under his
nose where he would inhale the
fumes. In twenty-eight minutes he
died. Like Jumbo, the big elephant
Lobengula was without an equal ii

other animal ever will be found to fil

A well dressed young man present
ed himself at the home of one of our
ministers a few days ago with a very.

He said he had started from some
where in Canada to visit friends in
Bismarck and Dickinson, but upon
reaching here his friends could not be
found, and when he went to buy his
ticket on to Dickinson he found he
was s1.25 short
After he had declared himself to be
a member of the same church the
minister readily loaned him the money
which he promised to return as soon
as he found his friends in Dickinson,
but he never found them evidently for
the money did not return. The
preacher, realizing he was faxed, be-
gan to inquire and found that the
same young man had put up the
same story to a number Of ministers
Of other denominations in this city,
changing his religion every time to
fit the circumstances. VI.

COMMISSION SYSTEM DISCUSSION

Pioneer, Aug. 23--In connection
with the effort on the part Of the
citizens Of Mandan to incorporate
under the recent act of the legisla-
ture providing for commission sys-
tenn of city government, and which
i has resulted in the issuing of a writ
Of mandamus against the council,
as noted in another column, it is re-
& -sorted that when the coun Gil refus-
e. to set an earlier date for the
election that they believed that it
made no difference when the date
I was set for, they interpreted the law
I to mean that the new commission
could not in any event take office IN
til next April. The council offers
this as one of their excuses for de-
laying the election for such an un-
reasonable length of time AS a
matter of fact the council is in err
TOR in this matter and for the bene-
\ fit of large number of our subscrib.
ers who have asked us what the law
+ is in regard to this point we call
attention to the provisions of the
law regulating the matter. Section
IA Of the law provides that the cleo
ton for officers shall be held every
two years on the first Tuesday in
April. This is the general provision
which regulates all future elections,
and section Is provides 81 that the
terms of office shall commence on
the third Tuesday in April, but in
the same section Is provision is
inserted to the effect that in the
case Of the first election their terms
Of Office shall commence within ten
days succeeding such election That
portion of the section which applies
reads as follows:
The term Of Office of the presi-
dent and members Of the board Of
the city commissioners shall COM
mence on the third Tuesday of April
succeeding their election and quail
hcation, except IN THE CASE OF
THEIR FIRST ELECTION, WHEN
THEIR TERM OF OFFICE SHALL
COMMENCE WITHIN TEN DAYS
SUCCEEDING SUCH ELECTION, Z
s 1t will thus be seen that the coun-
ell is in error In this matter and
that the law contemplates and pro-
Vides that the first ele ction can be
held at any time of the year.
We have canVassed the situation
quite thoroughly and we believe
that large majority 0 fthe citizens
spf Mandan are in favor of incorpor-
satfng under this new law The peo-
pie are impatient for 1t and we be
z1ieVe that it is the duty of the coun-
ell to call the election at the earlist
possible moment in response to the
wishes of the citizens, and that the
,sctruncil will do SO now that it is
seen their Interpretation Of the law
is wrong.

however, do not even know one cut
of beef from another except as the
butcher labels it. Along these lines
