=. The Strafe-iSfs"

Tomorrow night one of Haverly' s
best companies will present that famous
modern comedy, " The Strategists," at
the Opera House. The :. F. Ncwx
Letter, a good authority, speaks Of the
play as follows:
The curtain fell on Monday night,
amid such universal roar Of laughter
IS would have turned the Minstrcls
green, could they have beard it. Re
calls were tumuitOuSly demanded and
redemanded, and all through the entr'-
actes the house echoed the tardy gig
giles and OUTLAWS, as some exquisitely
funny situation REQUIRED to one or an
other, with a new appreciation of its
comicality. Polk, who has grown stout
since we last saw him, is Il character
actor of great merit; even in his wild
est moments Of fun he keeps his eccen-
tricitieS within bounds. His fun never
riots into coarseness, nor his wit into
equlVOque but still he is immensely
funny. In Jack Ruttledge he has char
acter of unlimited possibilities, and
does really we'll with 1t, The company
is good-far above the usual level of
travelling combinations. AS the Young
lady who plays the part Of Nellse re-
ceiyeS a most aCtOuDdinc nun1hnr ef
kisses during the play, it is gratifying
to note that she is exceedingly pretty.
The Stratessts is bound to be an over
whelming success, Judging from the
comments Of the crowd that squeezed
through the narrow passage from the
theater to the street on Monday night.
They have all told everybody else that
it is quite the funniest thing we have
ever had here and for once the crowd
is right.

The APPEAL in its issue Of the lltii
instant, stated that the aggregate pen
alties due the State AM Storey county
from the Bonanza firm amount to ST.
56S.99. These figures were received
from Controller Hallock, and are abso-
lutely correct. Since the publication of
this fact a large number OF the AP-
PEAL'S exchanges have copied the item,
but increased the amount due TO ninety
odd thousand dollars, presumably adding
interest upon the original amount. This
is a mistake, as no interest can be col
lectcd upon Judgment unless it is
specified therein, which is not the case,
in this instance. The question in
V0lvcu herein was COnciuSiveIy settled
in this State in 1876, when suit for
$4,000 damages was brought against
the V. & T. r. Il. Company, and de
cidcd in favor OF the plaintiff The
payment Of the Judgment was deferred
until 1873. When the amount Of tho
damages was rendered to the represent
tatives Of the plaintiff they declined it
unless legal interest was added. The
Railroad Company refused to pay i'll
tere~t and suit was accordingly brought .
in a District Court. The substance Of .
the Judges decision, in the case, was /
'That when the Judgment Of The Court
is silent as regards the collection Of !
interest it does not authorize the issu-
lnce of an execution calling for inter
est" This decision was affirmed by
he Supreme Court of Nevada, hence
he Bonanza firm will be called upon to
oay only the sum originally sued for.

Rival Mineral Water Proprletors.


WASUINGTOS, March S.-There is a
sharp fight here in progress between the
proprietOrs of the domestic mineral
waters and the oWncrs and agents of
the ApoIinaris Water. Attorney-Gan-
ear,al MacNeagh has decided that the
Apolinaris is an artificial water and
therefore dutiahle. Secretary FOlger
recently reversed this decisen and de
cided that the ApolIinaris was entitled
to enter this country without payment
of customs duties. 4 resolution is pend
ing in Congress directing the Secretary
Of the Treasury not TO take any steps
towards carrying out his decision until
there can be an opportunity for an in
vestigati0n Of the question as to whether
the Ap0llinaris is entitled to be placed
on the free list. Able legal talent has
been employed on both sides. En-
Senator COnkling is said to be the cOun-
sci for the ApOllinariS interests, and to
have received a cash fee Of $50, 600.

Remarkable Results in the Red River
Valley.

The magnificent agricultural results
achieved in the Red River Valley in
Northwestern Minnesota and North
eastern Dakota, have caused such tide
OF emigration to the favored region that
the Government lands which are availa-
BILE under the Presumption, Homestead
and lree-culture acts are nearly all oc-
cupled. AS an instance of the immense
influx of settlers, the Grand Forks land
district, which covers Ill townships in
the northeastern portion of Dakota, was
established in 1889, and of the total g.
457, 44O acres only 266,262 acres re-
manned untaken on June l, 1882.
During the first year, 1880, there were
l,O62, $50 acres taken up, and in 1881
there were 1,128, 94S acres entered upon.
Promising that each settler took as
much land as he is entitled to under the
Government laws, an interesting calcu-
lat1on OF the increase in population can
be made.
Every settler has right to either a
presumption and tree, culture claim,
or the latter in connection with home
stead, each combination amounting to
$50 acres. But only one tree-claim can
De taken III a section. hence there were
3,423 of such claims available and taken
IN the district, each representing an in
dlvldual. The figures, however, indi-
cate but one-third of the new corners,
as, after the fortunate settler has taken
his homestead or presumption and tree
claim, there still remain two more quar-
ter sections procurable under the other
acts. Thus on the 2,101,1 78 acres, or
5,423 sections, entered through the
Grand Forks Office, there must have
been no less than 10, 269 individuals, and,
allowing only three persons as the aver
age number in settlers family, it is
seen that 30,807 people have found
homes in this prolific district, which
covers an area Of only about forty-two
by ninety miles, during the past two
seasons e Surprising that each of these
III, 269 freeholders has forty acres in
wheat, total of S,215,2O bushels
would be produced at twenty bushels
per acre. Surely it is time the Turtle
Mountain Indians made way for civiliza-
lon.--St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Frauds in Drandies,

They are chiefly pract;ced with in
ferior spirits in order to make them pass
for cognac. 1t is many years now since
the smaller growers began to add to
their wines before distilling certain
quantity of inferior cognac or other
spirit, such as Montpelier brandy, or
barley, beetroot, molasses, rice, or po-
tato spirit. Such is the richness in
aroma of the pure and true cognac that
it has enough and to spare for these ad-
ditions of insipid alcohols. This fraud
and many maintain that it is no fraud
is undiscovered except by very ex-
perlenced faster indeed, gifted with a
most sensitive palate; detection is
easier when the foreign spirit is add
ed after instead of before distilla-
ton. Then the biting harshness of
new brandy is taken off with two drops of
liquid ammonia to the bottle; the aikali
neutra}izing portion Of the essential
oils which are chiefly given out by the
grape-skins. Cream Of tartar ana
candied sugar are also used for this pur-
pose. The color of age is got expedi-
tiously without molasses, either natural
or burned; and this last is employed to
produce the brown brandy of the Eng
lish. But more elastic consciences,
helped on by the scientific chemists,
have descended by little and little to
making cognac out of beetroot, maize,
potato spirit, or any other alcohol that
turns up in the market. For this
whole laboratory is required, embracing
such matters as grape-sirup, burnt
sugar, infusion of bitter-almond shells.
