NO LOTTERY FOR NORTH DAKOTA. Ita Agent* Full to Ilujr Vp th® S«w Mint*.

St. 1'Atn,, Minn., March IS. The liOufsiana lottery legislation, proposed in tho North Dakota Legislature at Bismarck, received its quietus to-day in both houses. As anticipated some days ago, the second attempt to adopt the measure was tried to-day. Yesterday was set aa the day for action, but the sudden death of Superintendent of Public Instruction Mitchell and the consequent adjournment of both houses postponed action until to-day, and this wa* tho last day the measure could be taken up aud carried being too near. To first made in the state Senate, the pro posed now bill, which offered the State f" VKXHor a franchise and an annual tui uto of $150,CKX, was introduced. Its opponents moved to lay it on the table, and that motion was defeated by a vote of 11 yeas to 19 navs. However, as a test vote it seated the ?ate of the bill, for it developed the fact that in the Senate, •where the measure was considered the strongest, the two-thirds necessary to paw owthes

TOPEKA WOMEN URGED TO REGISTER

The Eq«il Suffrage Aaeoelatlon B»prMehs Tbena for Inanition. TOPEKA, Kan., March 13.—Municipal elections will be held in the first and second class cities of Kansas April 1. The fact that women are granted franchises in these elections invest them with peculiar interest. Registration closes in this city on the 20th inst., and up to the present time less than fifty women have signified a desire to avail themselves of the privilege of voting. So little interest has been manifested that the Equal Suffrage Association deemed it necessary to issue an address to the women of Topeka, which was made public to-dav. It says: "The time for our municipal election will soon be here. The time for the registration books to close will be here sooner, and when once they are closed, if your name is not therein, the opportunity to express vour convictions at the ballot box wi 11 have passed away as far as the present election is concerned. Do you say, what interest have I in the election? We answer, the same that men have. All matters pertaining to the general well being of our community are decided by the persons in authority, placed there by the votes of the people. Are we not interested in these things equally with our brothers? The time has passed in Kansas when women can sit with folded hands and lament because weak, incompetent, or vicious officials are chosen. No woman who has done her part by doing her duty in depositing her ballot election day and expressing her preference at the"primary has any right to find fault if the worst possible persons should be elected to office."

CATTLEMEN UP IN ARMS.

Weatern lianeh Owner* Planning War on Chicago** "Biff Four." FORT WORTH, Texas, March 13.—There are 1,380 persons in attendance at the inter state cattle convention, but ttie committee on credentials, after sitting till 11 o'clock last night, decided that only 465 bad proper credentials, and will sore-

Eansas,Illinois,

ort. Kansas, Missouri, ArNebraska, Colorado, Texas, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona and Indian Territory are represented. Ex-Governor Hadley, of New Mexico, was made chairman and C. H. Gould, of Omaha, secretary. After the appointment of committees an effort was made to exclude commission men. The object of the convention is to fight the "Big Four" in Chicago, who, it is charged, dictate the price of beef to producer and consumer. The convention will also try to devise away to get rid of the commission of 50 cents a head and substitute the percentage system.

GREAT CIRCUS COALITION.

Bailey, Barnum'* l'arlncr. liny* an Interest in the Forepanich Show. NKW YORK, March 13.—A rumor is confirmed to-night that James A. Bailey, the equal partner of Barnum in "The Greatest Show on Earth," has become part owner with James Cooper in the Forepaugh circus. Mr. Bailey was surprised when asked to confirm or deny tho rumor that he had bought half of the Forepaugh show. He, at least, did not make a frank denial, nor would he indorse the story. He sought, indeed, to say nothing either wav. It is not believed or intimated that Mr. Barnum is financially interested in Mr. Bailey's new venture, but it is evident that the deal is intended to work some astonishing results in the circus business of this country. The magnitude of the transaction seems to have surprised even the most daring among theatrical managers and amusement speculators.

Ilatie Ball in ttreat Britain. NEW YORK, March 13.—A letter was received in this city yesterday, which seemed to indicate that base ball will soon be decidedly popular in England. The preparations would hardly have been earned so far if there were much chance of the game being a failure in England. The letter was written to Walter Spalding. He says that a professional base ball league has been orttanised, and that eight teams have been made to contest for the championship. Most of the players are members of former foot ball teams, and as ball ptayers they will receive from $10 to $15 a week, the" same they received as foot ball players. Barr and Bartlett left this

WASHINGTON, March 13.—Senator Sherman in asking the Senate to discharge the committee on foreign relations from further consideration of and to lay on the table a memorial of the legislative assembly of the territory of Arizona praying the president and congress to enter into a negotiation with the Republic of Mexico for the cession of sufficient territory joining Arizona on the southern boundary to secure a deep water port upon the guff of California, which would afford an outlet for the products of the territory, laid before the Senate some verv interesting documents of a diplomatic character. Senator Sherman, as chairman of the committee, referred the memorial to Secretary Blaine, with a request for his opinion with regard to it and this is the secretary's reply-

for beg leave to say that hopeful prospect of any negotiation being successfully conducted with Mexico at the present time, even toward the limited object in view. The temper of the statesmen and people of Mexico has been only recently manifested with regard to the alienation of any part of the national territory by the prominence given in certain circles on the Pacific coast to a.movement for the acquisition of all or a part of Lower California by purchase. "For the information of your committee I transmit herewith a copy of a memorandum prepared by the Mexican minister of a conversation which he had with me on this subject on June Gtb, last, together with Senor Mariscal's memorandum of May 20th, 1889, of which Mr. Romero gave me a copy. I hold unhesitatingly that the government of the United States is precluded by obligations of traditional good faith from approaching the government of Mexico with a view to acquiring any part of Mexican territory, and I equally believe that no administration of Mexico could face the manifestations of national sentiment that would certainly attend any indication of a disposition to infringe the provisions on the Mexican constitution, which withholds from the government the power to cede Mexican soil.

The coucurrent resolution for the investigation of immigration matters was laid before the Senate with the two House amendments extended the investigation to the purchsvse of American industries by foreign capital and to the use of the Bedloes Island, in New York harbor, as an immigrant depot. Mr. Chandler moved a concurrence in the House amendments. The motion was agreed to and so the_ concurrent resolution passed both houses.

The sub-committee of the House Commerce Committee to-day determined to report favorably a bill authorizing the construction of a six track railroad bridge over the Hudson river at New York.

The sub-committee in charge of the World's Fair bill has completed the bill except as to the amount to be appropriated for the government exhibit for which estimates are to be made to-day. The bill will bo reported to the full committee to-morrow and will merely provide for opening the exhibition in 1892 leaving it to the House to fix the date.

TRUSTS GAIN A VICTORY IN MISSOURI. Jufdeo Dillon Vlrtnalljr Declare* «fce law Against tbera C»eon»tlt«tional.

ST. IXJCIS, March 13.—The anti-trust law has received a black eye, figuratively speaking, ia a decision rendered by Judge Dillon. It was in the case of the state of Missouri, at the relation of Circuit Attorney Ashley Clover, against the Simmons Hardware Company. This is the test case to be foughtout in the courts to the end, and its progress is watched with great interest by a jarge number of corporations. Judge Dillon's is the first decision in the state on any point of law. Last December Secretary of State Leseuer wrote to the Simmons Hardware Company asking it to make an affidavit saying the corporation was not a member of any trust, monopoly, or combine whose object was to destroy competition and raise prices. The company refused to reply to that or a second letter, and suit was filed in the Circuit court, asking it to declare the charter of the company forfeited for not complying with the law. The company filed a demurrer to the petition reqnesting the constitutionality of the lawf and on this Judge Dillon rendered his decision and sustained the demurrer, and thus virtually declared the law to be unconstitutional.

den. Crook on the Court Martial. CHICAGO, March 13.—General Crook to-day, speaking of the court-martial to be held in this city on the 18th inst., at which Lieutenant Steele will be called on to answer charges of misconduct, preferred against him in connection with the late Dell Wild affair at Fort Snelling, said: "The personnel of this courtmartial has not yet been definitely determined upon, but it will consist of officers, against whose impartiality aud fairness nothing can be said. Every officer in the army indirectly interested in the outcome of this trial. The charges of clannishness amongst officers which have been so freely made in the public press are in a measure true but it does not exceed the bounds of a proper esprit de corps, which you will find existing everywhere in the world still less would the fact that an accused officer was the wearer of shoulder straps operate to shield him from the consequences of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. "It is my desire, and it will be my especial care during the coming trial of Lieutenant Steele, that the investigation shall be as public a one as the nature of court martials will allow. In issuing an order to the paymaster to secure a suitable room in which the court can hold its sessions, I have instructed him to see that proper accommodations are provided for the representatives of the press. There will be no star chamber business about it if I can help it."

About liuyinc Cigars.

If, by chance, I happen to go into a Btrange cigar shop and the man at the case asks me if I want an imported cigar I make up my mind that he doesn't know his business or that he takes me for a fool. A man is supposed to know what sort of a cigar he wants and ought to say so at the start. An imported cigar, at the average cigar stand, at the common price, is a delusion and a snare. If I go into a place where I am not known and buy a cigar I am always particular to notice the box. If the cigar does not fit the box I know the seller has practiced some deception. He has put a different cigar in the box than the one called for by the brand. If lie is mean enough to do this he is mean enough to palm off a poor cigar. I am not a cynic in anything but I have noticed one thing in my travels—it is easier for a man to be swindled on cigars than anything that grows, runs or stands still. If the cigar man doesn't know you you get the worst of i|.—Chicago Tribune.

She is frightened and says nothing about the accident her husband storms when he finds that the paper has a peculiar tinge, but the astonished workman can throw no light upon the matter, Thereupon he sends the paper to London With instructions that it be closed out at any price. The public, however, accept it aa a purposed novelty.

The Polytechnic Cln8» Will Join the Inter Collegiate Leajpme—Work Begins on the Xew Onaran tee Oil Well.

It seems that the poor of the coun are becoming too numerous to be accommodated the county poor asylum at its present size. The commissioners seem .to think, however, that the building will not necessarily have to be enlarged for awhile yet. It is only a question of time, nevertheless, when the present accommodations must be amplified to meet h»demands of an increased population, an I when an adequate water supply for protection against tire must be added to the equipments of the building.

The County Commissioners, in company with a* large number of friends, visited and thoroughly inspected the institution yesterday, it being their regular visit of the present term. Persons in the party speak in highly flattering terms of the dinner served at the asylum, and intimate that they are open for dates to repeat the day*8 trip at any time the commissioners may see fit to extend the invitation.

In answer to a NEWS man's inquiry this morning Superintendent Hull, of the asylum, said that yesterday they had 101 inmate in the building, but that two had taken their departure, leaving ninetynine in the institution at the present time. He was of the opinion that the building would sooner or later be increased in its dimensions, saying that it was now too small for the accommodation of the pauper3 that were applying for shelter. •'Have you more than two sleeping in a single room?" "Oh, yes in some rooms as high as five men sleep." "Well, do tney have good health?" "Yes, very good there is not a sick patient at the asylum to-day. We observe rigid rules of cleanliness and thus, perhaps, overcome whatever bad effects may result from the crowded condition of the house."

Besides the regular patients in the asylum, an average of probably more than one wanderer each night pauses at the poor farm gates and begs of the superintendent a night's lodging and a bite to eat—something that is never refused.

THE INTER COLLEGIATE LEAGUE.

The Polytechnic Oltib Will Enter and a Good Clnb Will be Formed. The Athletic Association of the Polytechnic has decided to enter the school club in the Inter Collegiate League of Indiana. S. B. Tinsley has been elected as manager of the club and the students have organized a stock company with a capital stock $100, divided in 100 shares. All of the stock has been taken. The money is to be used for the expenses of the club exclusive of uniforms which are to be bought by special subscription. The rules of the league require the liome club to pay the expenses of the visiting club, so that the proceeds of the games less the expenses of the visitors will be the profits for the home team. Hanover and the State University clubs will play all of their games in one ^eek on account of being ^W ^d so far from the other eft liege towns and each club will make a tour to the other cities to reduce traveling expenses. The Polytechnic is the only school in the league that has Saturday school and the games here will be played at the ball park. The Inter Collegiate League will not arrange its schedule until the Inter State League schedule has been arranged. The manager of the club will begin to sign hia players as soon as possible. Foot ball, lawn tennis and all sorts of field sports will be indulged in and at the close of the term an inter collegiate field day will probably be arranged for.

At a special meeting of the fruit growers here Monday specimen branches from orchards were submitted, and an examination showed that the recent cold suap had played havoc with the crop. The destruction appears to vary a good deal according to soil and location. Young orchards have been unduly developed by reason of the open Winter. It is said, however, that many of the smaller so socalled dormant buds will now be pushed forward, and, together with the larger ones remaining uninjured, will produce one-third to one-half an average crop.

MR. HOBERG WINS THE CASE.

JCKY FIXDS FOR TBI DEFENDANT IN THE FARIS-HOBKRG CASE.

Jkn Illinois Father Wants the xC»llc« to Find hie Child—Judge Allen SeoMn a Dilatory Juror •-Xole».

The evidence in the case of J. C. Faris against M. F. Hoberg, for damages was concluded in the Superior court yesterday afternoon and the j.ury was discharged until this morning. In the meantime the discussion of instructions for the jury waged furiously. This morning the defense made a motion that the judge instruct the jury to find for the defendant, supporting their motion with the evidence in the case and the pertinent Supreme court decisions.

This afternoon Judge Allen ruled that on the grounds of contributory negligence on the part of tho plaintiff the motion of the defense should be sustained, and instructed the jury to find accordingly. Having been in retirement a very few minutes the twelve returned a verdict in consonance with the court's -instructions.

The attorneys for the plaintiff showed a disposition to endeavor to convince Judge Allen that his action was due to a misapprehension of a particular jaragraph ot the complaint, and to intimate that his course had not beeu thoroughly consistent in overruling the original demurrer and subsequently, by his instructions to the jury, conceding that the plaintiff had not efficient cause for action, but the judge remained firm in the position which he had taken. The counsel for the plaintiff excepted to the jury's finding and will argue for anew trial.

ASKS FOR HIS CHILD.

A Dcaertcd Husband Necks the ANHIMIance of the Police. A man at West York, 111., writes to the oolice of this city that his wife had deserted him and gone off with another individual of the masculino persuasion. "She left me la*t August," runs the letter, "and went to Marshall, 111., with Madison Cusick, going from there to Paris together, where thev were pulled. They are now in Terre llante. The man is a smallish like man, sandy-complected, lives in Marshall and goes over to Terre Haute every few days. The woman is a small woman, red-complected, dark hair and eyes and has four false upper teeth. She has a small child, five years old, aud I wish you would find and take care of it for me until I can come. I'll pay all expenses."

TIIK NKWS doesn't like to be officious, but would suggest to the deserted husband that since the man, woman aud child described above are so perfectly matched he had probably better let them remain together. According to his letter one of tbeai is "smallish and red-com-plected, another is "small and red complected," and the last is simply "small."
