A historical account recounts Minnesota state capital choices from early settlements like Mendota and Stillwater to St Paul. It notes the decisive 1858 contest led by Rolette and Gov Gorman, with St Paul ultimately retaining the capitol after the Rolette disappearance near adjournment.
The article details the Minnesota flag design adopted for the state, noting gold dates 1819 1858 and 1893, a gold Minne sota inscription, nineteen stars around a North Star motif, and a gilded seal. It mentions a golden gopher atop the standard and cites Minnesota as the nineteenth state admitted to the Union.
The governor’s 1849 message records a temporary Minnesota territory seal adopted for approval, yet not used as the final device. The great seal used until 1858 bears a “4849” date and shows a farmer plowing with a rifle and powder horn nearby, while distant landmarks include St Anthony’s Rails and a rider on horseback, reflecting early state imagery.
The advertisement touts Electric Bitters as the key to health and success, claiming it purifies and strengthens the stomach liver kidneys and bowels, enriches the blood and revitalizes the entire system, leading to vigor and a keen brain. It guarantees relief to the weak run-down or sickly with Abe as authorities.
