Folly or u. .. Omcials-NIOney
Thrown Away.

ST. LOUIS, MO.s May lUtn, 1901.
Ed. Register-
have seen several numbers of your
paper Of late, and must say that am
glad to see that you. to q considerable
extent, understand the situation of af-
fairs regarding the so-called "Great
Land Fraud"
The fraud turns out to be all on the
side Of the U. 8. officials-composed Of
the firm of Iyrrell, Moser and Bliss.
The peculiar feature Of the whole
case is, that not single individual has
come forward and said that they have
been defrauded out of dollar by me.
Another singular feature of the case
is, that after all fuss and boasting by
these officials, not an acre of land has
been, nor can be, recovered back to the
United States.
The Government is out $50, 900 in this
piece Of foolishness.
Having failed in the U. 8. Court to
do anything,-for tho simple reason
that they had no right or legal grounds
upon which to base an action,-these
self-oonstituted prosecutors are endeav-
oring to follow up certain parties in the
State Courts here, but with what sue
cess is matter of the future.
The whole tendency of this piece Of
folly has been to deter immigration
and throw distrust OH Missouri titles
and yet, after all the fuss, not bad
title has been brought to light.
It was certainly a piece of cheek on
| the failing of the U. s. officials to try
to saddle the matter off OH the counties,
and thus get them to throw dirt and
smut over the State, all for no benefit.
The United States had no jurisdiction;
SO the counties have none. Hence it
would be folly to think of this. But,
on the contrary, apprehend the couu-
ties do not care to take up the United
States fights and failures in matter
of this kind. The folly and blame
should he allowed to settle down where
it belongs.
Had the position taken by the U. s.
officials been carried out, half the titles
in tile lower counties would have been
unsettled. The whole thing originated
with one George Moser, at Ironton;
and SO far as any benefit is concerned,
has been a failure. While, on the con-
trary, the lies and false reports which
have been sown broadcast over the
country, have done an immense dam
age to the State, and the propagators
ought to give place to decent officials
having the welfare of the State in
view, rather than slanderous reports
and petty malice to crafty.
You can, with perfect safety. ask the
question, Who has been defrauded!
and when and where? and out of how
much? and by whom?
I give you these brief points, upon
which you will discover that the great
mountain called the Gland frauds
has been in constant labor and pro-
duced little result, except to run ths
United States to expense with nothing
to show for it.
It is currently reported that Mr.
Bliss Is paying the expense of this
matter with United States funds, ant
thus running States Courts under thu
supervision of United States author
ity.
The facts Of this whole case hav,
not yet been fully understood at Wash
ington, but will be in due time.

A STRANGE CASE.
A Curious Psychological Phenomenon
In Virginia City.

n SuFiOus TsyCnOiOStCdl HcnOnCuOn
In Virginia City.
Territorial Enterprise
There is in this city a young lady
whose case is not only the most distress
ing imaginable, but which also is most
curious, and a puzzle for physicians and
all who are acquainted with her condi-
tion and the peculiar circumstances at
tendant upon and connected Herewith.
The young lady is Miss Mary Kenney,
aged about eighteen years, who resides
on the Divide. Previous to her illness
she was pupil in Professor Flint's
school, where she was distinguished for
her close application to her studies, and
her quiet and lady-like department. She
was ambitious to become teacher, and
studied very hard in order to be able to
pass an examination.
Some six weeks ago Miss Kenney told
her mother and others that a great
calamity was soon to befall her; that she
would be stricken blind. deaf and dumb.
In making this, announcement she was
much distressed, and wept bitterly. 1t
was in vain that her friends tried to COM
fort her; she said it was thing that
must come.
A few days later, while on her way
home, she was suddenly struck blind,
and was led by the hand the remainder
of the way home. Four physicians, in
Guiding DIR. Webber, county physician,
have been attending the young lady
since her illness, and have been unable
to determine the cause of the malady
which so suddenly seized her. After
losing her sight she soon lost her hear
ing. and then her vocal organs became
paralyzed. For several days past she
has been unable to hear, see or speak.
Before her hearing left her she sent
for her young lady associates in the
choir of st. Pa1ls (EpiscopaD church,
and asked them to sing for her Home,
Sweet Home" as she wished to hear
them sing once more before the capacity
to enjoy music was taken from her.
Her disease appears to be of the ma
ture of paralysis. and this had extended
to her legs and the lower part of her
body For some days she had but little
use of her hands, and then only under
certain conditions
The most curious feature Of her case,
however, is that all this time she has
been able to communicate with all about
her. though bereft of all her senses.
This she has done in writing. In asking
her a question it was necessary to do so
il writing, her hand being laid on that
Of the questioner during the time he was
writing. This being done, she at once
wrote an answer to the question, but
while doing so it was necessary for the
questioner to place his hand on hers, or
to lightly hold the top of the pencil with
which she was writing. All this time
her eyes were closed and her head rest
ing ON her pillow in such position that
she could not have seen what she was
doing. had her eyes been open and she
not blind.

Four-square the city heth,
Twelve thousand furiongs grand;
Its glittering walls rise glorious,
Its pearl-srched gateways stand;
Twelve angels cross their pinions
In sanity watch and ward,
That only they shall enter
Who serve its blessed Lord.
Jasper its walls, and golden
Its streets stretch far and fair,
Its twelve foundations glow in light
OF precious jewels rare;
And in its fadeless radiance
The ransomed nations stand
Gathered in all the ages,
From every cline and land.

That never closed shall be,
The glory of the nations,
Earth's kings bring constantly.
No night with brooding shadow
Falls down its beautiOus skies,
\, And in the realm immortal
'Tis only Death that dies.

He hid II by Contract.

Ten minutes after the Marquette train
had pulled out of the depot yesterday at
noon, young man with grab-bag in
his baud and cigar in his mouth saun-
tered in as if he had half an hour to
spare. After walking UP and down for
about five minutes he stopped at the
ticket window and asked:
Has the flint train gone yeti?
"Yes-a quarter of an hour ago.
"The deuce. Why, was to go on that
train"
well, you didn't"
"And can't get there?"
perhaps you could hire a locomotive -
"Ah, perhaps 1 could. I'll finish my
smoke and 60 see about it"
After the end of his cigar had been
reduced until the fire warmed his nose,
the young man went up stairs and said
to the superintendent:
Gould you, ah, for about five or six
dollars, ah, give me locomotive as far
as Flint. ah?"
"No, sir"
"Ah; YOU can't? Well that's baddish, /

motive"
"And you might say seven times
that"
Couldn't do it-'pon honor l could
not, though | II go down and smoke AL
other cigar, and perhaps make you an
other offer after time"
He lit another cigar and paced mp and
down, and all at once began hunting his
pockets. He shortly pulled out a note
book, and after running over the leaves,
he approached the ticket seller, and
said to him:
81 find that 1 am saved"
"How?"
