ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS act directly upon

cure the diseases caused by their derargc-
mont, including Constipation, IndiGcs-
ton, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and q host of other ailments, for all of
which they are safe, sure, prompt, and

"A Sufferer from Headache writes:
LAYERS PILLS are invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion. l have been
a severe sufferer from Headache, and your
PILLS are the only thing could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest phystc
speak in their praise, and always DO SO

CLEAN, n. Y, June lone day in the
fall of 1882 Eugene Hildone. of Cuba, Allie
gheny county, drew $l05 from tho Ma
tional bank in that village. He was en-
gagged in the hay-pressing business at the
time He rolled the bills together, placed
them in his pocket and went to work pitch
ing hay in the baling and pressing machine
A few hours later he felt for his money, and
it was gone 1t could not be found, and
Hildone concluded that it had dropped in
the hay and was in one Of the bales As the
work of unbaling and examining each bale
would have incurred too much delay and
expense, he shipped the bales to their pur-
chasers, Fogel & Co, Of Allentown, Pa.
At the same time he wrote. to the firm and
mentioned the loss Of his money. One day
last week he received a package by express
from Allentown. 1t contained a roll Of
moldy banknotes. There we're $l05 in the
roll A letter from Fogel & Co. said that
the money had been found a few days be-
fore in bale of hay, which they had pur-
chased from Hid lone, by an employe of a
livery stable, to which they had sold the
hay and which had been stored in the stable

TO be the leader OF the movement, etc.
A remarkable scene occurred few DAYS
ago. Riel interrupted the proceedings and
asked to be allowed to examine witnesses
himself. Counsel, he said, came from affair
and did not understand the circumstance
and neglected to ask witnesses important
questions. Counsel admitted there was a
rupture, and the prisoner refused iniorma-
ton and assistance in any way. Riel said
he could not allow his moral integrity to
sufiur. as counsel was seeking to establish
his insanity. 10 did not care for mere ami
NAL cxistcnce, il not accompanied by the
mental dignity 81 an intelli gent being. A
long dispute followed. The prisoner and
counsel reached no agreement. Riel still
pressed tho claim to DO heard. Counsel
stated that they would abandon the defense

ed. and asked to have counsel discharged
and he would conduct the case. Legal
authorities were quoted, and the court
ruled the counsel should defend him. 1t is
expected that further guarrels will result

End of tho Sioux Fall. Town Site Case.

Stony Falls, OAK, Special: An elaborate
opinion was Tiled by Judge c. 8. Palmer, in
the district court, in the famous shillocls-
Pettigrcw title case. The case is one in
volving the title to 1GO acres OF land upon
which the principal residence portion
Of the city OF Sioux Falls is built.
In 1850 one Russell H. Bennett pur-
chased the land by what is known as Sioux
lall-brce,l scrip Of one Arcaugc Reed. q
half-brccd French Indian, in Trcmpcleau
county. Wis. After Reeds death, one Shil-
lock, a land sl.arh in Minneapolis. obtained
n pretended title from the heirs Of Mrs: Reed
and by the successive transfers this pretend
sd title was conveyed to Il. J. Mcndenhall
of Minneapolis, who il virtually the plain
tiff in the present suit. The case was once
decided by Judge Bennett in the district
court against the claimant under the Shil-
lock title and it was during that contro-
vcrsy that the famous race occurred where.
in r. +. Pettigrcw and one Bnttineau, each
witt. an ndYersc deed, started for St. Paul
on tho Same tEtin, any, whom within q few
miles oi Sioux Falls. Mr.. l3ottincau and
other passengers in the coach were left on
the track while Mr.. Pcttigrew, on the ell
CINE was brought to town, thus giving his
deed an hour preference on the record.
Judge Palmer decided that the Bennett
Pcttigrcw title is good. and the Mcndanhall
claimants have no valid claim. Thus onds
a litigation OF material interest to very
large numbef u the oitizens Of Sioux Falls,
and upon which the improvements are
worth more than hall n million dollars.

cannot well be reduced. Every land Office
in the territory is maximum office except
one and that office comes within thrcccen
of it. Watertown, Fargo, Yamkton Bis
marck, Dcadwood, Grand Forks, Aberdeen,
Huron and DEVILS Lake all receive fees
enough to bring up the salary OF rcgi .tcr
and rcceivership to $4,000 for each. The

charged for diagrams showing unoccupied
lands in the district; 15cents per 100 words
il charged for copies OF testimony, and Il
