Peter Grub sold his share in an iron
mine at Cornwall, Pa, reserving the
right to enter upon the premises forever
and take therefrom sufficient ore for the
supply of one furnace. That was almost
a hundred years ago, when iron ore was
smelted in a somewhat crude fashion,
and the average yield of a furnace was
1900 tons year. But the process has
been vastly improved since then, and
now furnace turns out as much il
a single month. The question arose
whether the heirs of Grub were entitled
to as much ore as would supply an eight
zenith or nineteenth century furnace
After twenty-four years of litigation TIN
Supreme Court has just decided, on ap
peal, that ore can be taken in suficien
quantities to supply furnace of the pres
emit time.

A Word to Workers.

If your avocations are mentally or physi-
cally laborious, if they subject you to ex-
posure in Indictment weather, if they confne
you to the desk and are of a nature to in.
volve wear and tear of brain, and nervous
strain, you may occasionally require some
renovating tonic. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers is the article for you. 1t stimulates the
failing energies, invigorates the body and
cheers the mind. 1t enables the system to
throw off the facilitating effects Of undue
fatigue, gives renewed vigor to the organs
Of digestion, arouses the liver when inactive,
which it very often is with people whose
pursuits are sedentary, renews the jaded APP

ingredients are safe. and its credentials,
which consist in the hearty endorsement of
persons Of every class of society, are most
convincing. Admirably is it adapted to the
medical wants of workers.

RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

Delegate Bennett at Work on the Propo-
sftiOn to Restore Our Landing.
In response to the request of q public
meeting of the citizens of Yankton, Dele
gate Bennett has been consulting prominen,
men at Washington upon. the subject Of the
improvement of u river front. The con
clusien reached Is that an official survey Of
the locality where it is proposed to place
the Improvements must first be made, that
there may be something upon which to
base an appropriation. Delegate Bennett has
talked the matter over with the chief engi-
neer in charge of river and barbor improve
ments and it is the opinion Of that gentle.
man that q preliminary survey of the work
could be made by some member of the off.
cisl corps now on duty upon the upper Mis-.
souri,, without waiting for a congressional
appropriation TO meet the expenses of the
lurvey. With this object in view Delegate
Bennett has addressed q letter to the eecre-
tsry of war giving q detailed explanation of
the wants of Ysnkton and enclosing q copy
of the proceedings of the public meeting
held here In behalf of the improvement. As
soon as congress re. convenes he will have
the proposition placed before the approprs.
ate committee and will urge its adoption by
every means within bis power. 1t will take
time to accomplish this work. even through
the speeiiest channels. but there is cause 10
hope that something may be done.

A Case Which Illustrates a Point Dcserv-
ing Closer Attention.
The Madison Sentinel says:
"Thc Press and nakotaian in giving the
vote pollcd for Flagg, for attorney of the
4th Judicial district MS given them by the
territorial canvassing board, leaves Lake
county out. The canyassing board or the
Press is ctt. Count us in to the extent OF
PA tor Flagg, please
II Lake county voted for district attorney
it should have made the fact known through
its county canvassing board. There is
nothing in the secretaiy's Office to indicate
the vote of that county and it was no, count
ed in footing up Flagg's majority. The
nearest approach TO a return is a tabula,ed
stateme Mt which says that Minnebaha, Nc
Cook and Lake counties together cast so
many votes for district attorney, but as this
species Of return is entirely illegal, it was
not counted. Minnehaha county and Nc.
Cook county each made additional and sep.
rate returns which were accepted and count.
ed, SO the rejection of the combined state
ment did n O disiranchise those two coun.
ties. On the face of the returns there was
nothing TO indicate the vote of Lake county.
The canvassing board could nave ascer.
tanned the vote by deductlng the added vote
of McCook aud Minnehaha counties from
the total given asthe vote Of the three coun.
ties, but such a result could not have been
used, as the board has &c
authority to go behind the returns.
Had the other counties neglected to send in
separate returns all three would have been
left out Of the count. AS Mr.. Flagg had a
large majority without Lake county, the
omission makes no difference. 1t furnishes,
however, an opportunity to call attention
to a careless manner of making returns
which might create trouble. Every election
develops something of this nature and there
may some day come an election wherein
the throwing out of a county will change
the result. The law upon this point is
very explicit and it is only necessary for
county authorities to study the statutes to
ascertain their duty so clearly that there
will be no excuse for errors.
