street. between Fourth and Fifth. brother
m-law of Mrs. Chamberlain came out and
fired at her, the ball entering below the
left shoulder, penetrating the clavicle and
causing injuries which the doctors fear will
be fatal. He then placed the pistol at his

special 10 the Globe
BURLINGTON, Ia, July 3.-Recently
brief dispatch was sent out saying the Chi
cago, Burlington * Quincy had lost a con-
siderable sum by false bills of lading. The
facts are these and an order has been issued
directing agents to look out for such prac-
tees in the future. The first intimatiOn of
anything wrong came from Council Bluffs
and Omaha. 1t was suspected that the con-
tents OF Sundry boxes sent to the cities were
not as represented. An inspector was de-
tailed TO look into the matter, and Surpris-
ing results followed, The inspector has
succeeded in securing the names of more
than 1000 firms, what their bills of ladings
called for and what the goods really We're.
1t was found that these parties had
habitually clasSed their goods from one
TO three classes lower than they should
have been saving nearly half to the shipper.
All sorts of goods were billed as hardware.
Beds and castings, bird cages and wire were
shipped as castings, and picture frames as
woOdenware, although in most of the cases
the shipper managed TO preserve some SIM
ilarity between the goods and the deScrip-
ton. In each case reported the road has
presented bill TO the shipper for the differ
ence in classification and as usual it has
been promptly paid. The amount recov-
cred for the months of March. April and
May was $4,000. Similar results were
found TO a greater or less degree at every
office along the road and il is estimated that
the loss 10 the road by this means in the
last month will aggregate 81, 500. but the
road has recovered about -, 800 of this sum,
the shippers paying up without word.

Suffering Indians.

MONTREAL, July Sit would seem the
Indian problem in the North west is not the
only one with the solution of which the
government will have to wrestle before
long. A letter from responsible party at
BersemaS represents that the reindeer APP
pear to be almost extinct in the vast hunt

of Labrador, that no signs were even seen
last winter where they were hitherto so
plentiful, and that neither did Mr.. Beg
nelPs party, in their

through the Indian country, see any. The
writer adds that the past winter was so I'M
usually severe inland for the Bersemas
Indians that to avert starvation they were
obliged to eat their hutS of furs; that in one
camp three died of hunger and there were
dark rumors of their having committed can
nibalism ere finally succumbing to their ter
rible fate. Altogether bad luck of the
direst kind attended all their efforts to Sc
cure furs, and out of more than Gne hundred
hunters frequenting the Bersemas post not
ten have paid their debts, although the
traders literally allowed them 40 per cent.
more than the market rates. In view of
this deplorable state of affairs, it is stated

grand chief of the Mount Agnais tribe, in
succession to the late Jean Baptiste Estio.

LAND TITLES.

The GLOBE publishes this morning an
other communication relating TO the Sioux
City railway land grant. Our Blue Earth
correspondent has correct understanding
of the situation when he says that the best
plan for inviting immigration TO Minnesota
is to deal justly with the settler. There
could be no more baneful evil inflicted upon
a state, nor anything that would more sue
cessfully bar its progress, than doubtful
land titles. Without intending a rejection
upon the validity of the grant claimed
by the Sioux City Railway com
pany, we can say that there has
been so much croOkedness among the yari-
Gus railroad corporations in relation to these
land subsidies that people are always more
or less suspicious of them and whenever a
charge of corruption is made its are
plenty of people who are willing TO accept
the truthfulness of the allegation without
waiting for the evidence. Therefore when
ever an allegation of tlfiS character is
made itis proper that the whole matter
should be-, sifted in order that the public

Within the last year or two wild mustard

alarming prOfusiOn. Regarding it the
Marshall Messenger says: 1t abOundS

when it once gets well rooted in land it re-

statute was originally framed to cover only
Canada thistles. but the legislature of 1888
amended it, making it include wild mustard

violation of it. For the benefit of all we

MoNTANA,s NEW GovFRyoR

The long contest for the governorship of
the territory of Montana was decided on
yesterday by the appointment of Hon. S.
L. HoUsER, the bonanza king of the terri
tory. The initiatory victory of the TooLE
dynasty over the MAGINNIs regime, which
was the selection of the Deer Lodge man as
marshal, is fifty followed by the more i'm
portant one of territorial governor, which
Mr.. HoUsER has captured without being a
self-seeker. The fact is that Mr.. HoUsER
did not covet the place, but his friends and
the enemies of MAGINNIs pooled their is
sues and the result is Mr.. HoUsERs ap-
pointment by the president on yester-
day, the day of the return of Delegate
TooLE. And it may be mentioned I'm this
connection that the appointment is one emf
nently fitting to be made. If Mr.. HoUsER
will give Montana an administration of the
type he has laid for the foundation of his
private fortune the territory will prosper,
and it may be assumed that this is the
character Of administration he will give the
territory.

Then cannon break in thunder-gusts

And flags UPSTREAM. like flowers in bloom.
From windows, roofs and walls.

Make such Jolly sound, you know
Like giants in a quarrel.
And, oh, the bells that swing and chime,
And ring and rock the spires,
And the fairy lights at evening time,
That blaze in rainbow fires.

Like folk who get in a fiuste-.
But whom you need not mind at all.
For they spend their strength i'm buster.

In showers from the sky.

COLLECTING ILLEGAL Fees.

HURoN, Oak, July S.-AbOut 81, 900
Illegal fees are said to have been collected
by the register and receiver of the Huron
land office by wrong Interpretation of the
act of congress of March. 1883, authorizing
a collection of fifteen cents per hundred
worIls for examining testimony in final
homestead proofs made before Judge or
clerk OF court. Officers here made the law
apply TO all proofs put TO record, and
although frequently ordered by the COM
missioner general of the land
Office TO cease collecting such fees,
continued to do so till October last. Then
Inspector Hobbs came and gave personal
orders to stop collecting the same and an
order from the department at Washington
instructed the register and receiver to re-
fund the money to those from whom it had
been collected and to give public notice that
money would be paid back. Very little
notice has been given, but the discharge of
three clerks on Monday has brought the
matter to the attention of the public and
one Of the clerks is engaged in working up
all the cases possible.
