LAND DEPARTMENT.

. There was a meeting of the land
board yesterday. Various matters of
a routine character were discussed.
The board determined to investigate
the old rolls and valuations of the
free school, university and asylum
lands that have been surveyed, with
view to their acceptance or rejec-
ton. The rolls are sent up by the
county surveyors and commissioners
courts of the various counties. Capt.
Gooch, of the land Office force, was
selected to go over the rolls. As soon
as the board are ready to receive bids
for sale or lease of lands, maps of
them will be sent to the different
county surveyors for general infor-
nation

The attorney general has not yet
given his opinion in the questions re-

there were four gus COY ering him,
he grabbed Mr.. Jones gun and tried
to wrench it from his hand.
The others then gave him
to understand they were
deputised to arrest him and if he did
not surrender he would be shot with
out parley. He demanded to see their
writ and they said they had none. He
told them they had no authority to
take him without a writ; that he
knew what the law was, for his father
was one of the LEADING lawyers of this
state, living at Georgetown. They
gave him to understand that no
matter who his father was nor what
he knew about law he would be cap
tured, dead or alive. He then gave
up, with a threat to
prosecute them all for ma
licious arrest and false imprison-
ment. Jones then searched him and
found the watches. He said he had
traded a horse for them. They then
took from his pockets $3.50 in silver
and S42 in greenbacks. Before they
examined the greenbacks Mr.. Jones
"You ought to have a $40

money, said, Here it isi' Makemson

plying to me and by paying a small

Senator White, of Defiance county, has
the following to say of a recent act of the
Poker Legislature:
"Last Winter the House passed bill al
lowing contractors for the erection of a
church edifice to sue, obtain Judgment
and sell the property for debt. Also, al
lowing ministers to take lien against a
church building for unpaid salary; also
allowing sexton to do the same; also al
lowing q gas company to sell out church
fora unpaid gas bill; also allowing man
contracting wood or coal for a church to
do the same. In fact, any person could,
under the provisions of the bill, if by due
process of law q Judgment should be OBJ
tained, sell at Sheriff's sale any church
property in Ohio. The bill failed to pass
the Senate, by atvote OF IL for to against
-as IL being a vote required to pass bill.
Although there were 20 Senator's present.
only IA voted. President Richards de-
clared the bill lost. Last week, dis
tinguished attorney of Tiffin came to Co
lunIbus in the interest of this measure
and by his Influence with members sue
ceeded in having the decision of last year
reversed, on the ground that when the
bill was declared lost d constitutional quo
rum had not voted on the proposition.
The bill was placed on passage last week
and passed and Is now law. What its
effect will be is difficult to conjecture, but

To Whom It Nav COucern,

This is to certify that have been afflIct-
ed with that dread disease, catarrh, here
tofore pronounced incurable by many,
for the last twelve years. Ihad tried the
skill ofsome of the best physicians in the
State, and nearly every kind of patent
nostrums that could be found in the mar
ket, bit all proved to be of no effect and
had settled down to believe that my case
was one among the incurahle, and had lost
all hope of ever being cured or even re-
lieved to any great extent from this Of
fensive malady; until was urged and per-
suaded by good friend to go to Saur's
drug and medicine store and just try one
bottle oi Halls Celebrated Catarrh Cure.
I found so much relief that tried another,
and after using 6 bottles 1 find myself en-
tirely cured and the happiest man in the
world. G.. II. REEDER.

Mrs. Ann Eliza Young.

The 10th wifeo Brigham Young, will de-
liver one of her popular and interesting
lectures at Beckman's Hall on the evening
ofMarch ed, 1888, for the benefit of the La
dies Aid Society. Wherever she lectures
she is highly spoken of and draws large
audiences. Following are few press no.
tees:
As to her lecture, it was simply enchant-
ing. Her tale Of sorrow was told in so
sweet and innocent a manner, that the
hearts and dsympathies other hearers were
at once with her.-Cairo Democrat.
Mrs. Young spoke likeone who had been
irreparably wronged by this wicked sys-
tenn, and her appeals to Christian and en-
lightened sentiment to demandit its extirpa-
tiou were impassioned and real.-Inde-
pendence Qowa) Bulletin, MARCHES.
She gave the greatest possible salisfac-
style ofdelivery. She looks very young,
very handsome, and very interesting. Her
modest mein, natural niceness and earn
est eloquence, will win her millions OF
friendsand immense money in her noble
mission through the coming years. The
press and the people Of America will be
pleased to see and hear her.-N. Y. Herald
The st. Louis Daily Globe says:-"Mrs.
Ann Eliza Young delivered her first lee
ture at Mercantile Library Hall last night.
There was a large audience who were
well paid for attending. The lecturess de-
scribed the heart burnings, the strife, the
unspeakabe misery ofpolygamy. In con.
clusiOn, the fair speaker avowed that what
ever might be her future, she would never
regret the step that had brought her te

Excursion Tickets to the West at Ex
tremely Low Rates.

The B. & o. r. r. Co. have announced
that until further notice that they will
sell round trip excursion tickets to all
Land Grant points west of the Missouri
River, every day in the week, at the same
rates, or lower, than the so-called cheap
land excursions advertised by some lines
to take place on specified days. The rates
will be so low that it will be impossible
for inferior and roundabout lines to make
less rate. Wewould advise any one con-
tempiating a trip west to call upon Agents
ofthe b. Il o, r. r. to procure their tick
cts. The tickets will haye all of the priv
ileges that are granted on the so-called
cheap excursion tickets. Single tickets,
one way, will also be sold at as low rates
as are offered by other lines.
The superior advantages offered by the
B. IL o., with its three through trains dali
ly, necessitating but one change of cars to
the Missouri River, makes it the quickest
and best route for all points in the west.
Parties will always find it to their ad-
vantage to see the agents of the b. & o.,
before purchasing their tickets, and they
will have no trouble about rates.

Last week we mentioned the disappear
ance OF Mr.. Geo. w. Ellis, a teacher in the
B Grammar Department in our Union

turns out to be forgery, he having forged
I the name of his father-in-law, Mr.. Gideon
Bray, a respectable farmer of this county,
as surety to a lot of his promises to pay.
The amount thus obtained is in the neigh
borhood of 81 500, and among the sufferers
are Sheffield u Norton, Judge Meekison,
Mr.. Thomas and others. In addition to
this he owes most every business house in
town for much or little. To illustrate the
