OSCAR p. KEMP.

A native of New York, born at Water
town. N. Y, in 1851 and educated at the
public schools of his native town. After
attaining his majority he engaged in the
hardware business at Watertown, n. Y,
and subsequently at Sparta, Wis. In 1878
he came to Dakota and entered homestead
on land now included within the city of
Watertown. He became the first postmas-
ter, establishing the office in 1878, it being
called at that time Kemp postoffice but was
subsequently called Watertown and re-
moved to the railroad plat of Watertown.
The brothers also established store, one of
the first in the county. A stage line was
put on by them from Gary to their place,
which did good work in bringing settlers
into the county. On the organization of the
county Mr.. Kemp was elected its first treas
urer. The brothers have now valuable
addition to Watertown and prosperous
agricultural implement business. In 1879
Mr.. Kemp married Miss Elva NJ. G. French

SPARKS REVERSED.
A COuHniOn-Sease Ruling by the
Secretary OF the Interior.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-My attention
was to-day called to recent decision OF
the secretary of the interior concerning the
duty of the commissioner of the general
Sparks are again nullified. The decision is
rendered in letter to the commissioner, in
which the following paragraph occurs:
When from the report OF a special agent it
appears that an entry is fraudulent, or from
any other cause its validity should be in
Quired into, such entry should not be can
celed upon the report of the agent or the
testimony accompanying it, but should be
held for cancellation, and the entrymau
should be notified of such action and allowed
sixty days in which to apply for hear
ing to show cause why the entry
should be sustained. If in response
to such notice, the claimant offers to show
cause why the entry should be sustained, A
hearing should be ordered at which the gov
eminent should offer proof to sustain the
allegation that the entry is illegal or fraudu-
lent before the entryman shall be required
to present his defense. SucL a hearing is a
proceeding de noto at which the register and
receiver should not consider ex parte
testimony contained in the agents report,
but in all such cases where the entry has been
regularly made and final certificate issued, the
burden of proof is on the government, and it
will be required to establish the truth of the
charge at the time of the hearing by the ex-
animation of the special agent or such other
witnesses as may be produced, so that the
entryman may have the opportunity of cross
examination as allowed by law. This rule was
clearly announced in the case of George T.
Burns, and will be strictly adhered to.
The gist of all this is, the reversal of the
idea that special agents are infallible, and
the commissioner an autocrat. Hitherto
the land Office has gone upon the idea that
settler or entryman has no rights which
the land office is bound to respect. An
agent could GUST a settler and be sustained
by the commissioner, on the report that an
entry was fraudulent. Of course the entrv-
man was notified that he might show cause
why he should have hearing in the case.
The new decision gives him a hearing
without arguing as to his right to be heard.
His rights are respected and the burden of
proof is on the government. The agent
of the government asserts positively that
the entry is fraudulent. The government
must prove that affirmation. The entry
man does not have to prove negative.
Hitherto there was an uncommon and I'M
lawful assumption that the entryman
must prove a negative. That was illogi-
cal as well as inimical to the common
law. The present decision is regarded
as one of the most valuable of the MANY
commonsense rulings of the secretary.

MIR. RYSE ANGRY,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Hon. W. j.

committee of Marshall county, is still here.
He AYERS that Hon. NJ. III. Day assured
him, before he went West, that all of the

Upon that authority he had his daughter

until he receives his own appointment as
special agent of the land office. But, no
sooner was the appointment of young Mrs.
Ryse announced out in Britton, than some
OF the Republicans out there filed charges
against her, affecting her character, and re-
queSting the department to withhold her
commission. The commission was with
held. and now Mr.. Ryse is endeavoring to
have the commission issued But he is
met at the department with the statement
that he must get the Endorsement of Mr..
Day in the matter, and therefore he is
obliged to await the return of Mr.. Day to
the city, before his daughter can be in

His First Love.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Everyone
knows that the Republicans were surprised
last summer when A. II. Lewis, editor of
the Milbank Review, changed the political
complexion of his paper from Republican
ism to Democracy. But those who knew
Mr.. Lewis as Tilden man at Owatonna,
Mimi, in 1876, and Democrat for many
years prior thereto, were not surprised. He
simply returned to his first love. But now
there is genuine bomb cooking out there.
George W. Hopp, editor of the Brook ings
Press, threatens to leave the Republican
party if the Republican convention declares
for division. AS the Republicans have al
ways been divisionists. and as it is, there
FORE to be expected that they will so declare
at the Yankton convention, it is fair to pre-
sumo that Mr.. Hopp will come into the
Democratic camp in October, and bring his
powerful Press with him. There is room

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Concerning
some reported remarks made by Judge Pratt
of Grand Forks, concerning himself, Judge
Clifford says:
I have received information that c. B.
Pratt. Esq, of Grand Forks who was here re-
Gently, is reporting that the failure of the
bill to get additional judges for Dakota, was
through the neglect of myself. In regard to
this matter want to say, that when Mr. Pratt
first came to Washington he called upon me,
and inquired of him particularly in refer
ence to this bill and requested him to assist
In securing the passage of the bill. / told him
that it was in the hands of OF u sub-commit-
tee of the house, of which Mr.. Rogers of Ar
kansas was chairman, and requested him to
call upon Mr.. Rogers about it. But Mr..
Pratt stated to me in the presence of others
that he did not come to Washington in the in
tereSt of this bill, and that he did not desire
TO have anything to do with the matter. In
fact, he expressed Indifference so far as any
actual work was concerned, towards getting
the bill passed. l met Mr.. Pratt several
times while he was here, and spoke to him in
reference to this matter. l was repeatedly
Informed by MI. Pratt that he had seen no
member of either house about it. / cannot
learn that Mr.. Pratt used any eXertion what
ever towards securing the passage of the bill,
or that he informed himself in regard to its
condition. The fact is that, Pratt knows
nothing, of his own knowledge, abont the
condition of the bill, nor what have done to
secure its passage.
After further remarks of somewhat per-
sonai nature, Judge Clifford said:
One reason why that bill has failed, is be-
cause the steering committee Of the house
has Insisted all along that the Dakota bills
should be considered; and the judiciary COM
mittee would not press the judgeship bill so
long as there was probability of the Dakota
bills being brought up by the regular steer
ing committee, which consisted of Carlisle.

Eau Claire.
Special to the Globe.


EAU CLAIRE, Aug. 6.-There are no espe-
cially encouraging symptoms in the present
condition of the lumber business, as exem-
pliied in the Chippewa valley, except such
as have arisen from the policy Of cnrtail-
ment pursued in the woods last winter and
in the saw mills this summer. The market
is quiet but steady, and is likely to hold
about as at present throughout the season.
1t is estimated that the stock of lumber on
hand in the lumber yards is now only about
%, 000,0 600, which is about two-thirds of the
stock on hand year ago at this time. This
stock is not being repenished any faster
than it is depleted by the regular demand.
The mills are likely to shut down quite early
this fall. If the rains come which may na1ur-
ally be expected vet this fall
the streams will yet be swept cleaner of logs
than ever before; and the careful policy of
curtailment of the log cut will be pursued
next winter. These are the facts which are
expected to count in bracing up the market
next year. The Westville Lumber company
mas shut down its saw mill and discharged
about 100 men on account of lack of logs.
This m1ll receives its supply from the main
river, and the prolonged drouth has at last
SHUT 1t on. The other mills on the Chippewa
can run through the season in all probability.
The Eau Claire Lumber companys mill on
the Eau Claire can run until the middle of
September without a raise in the river. The
common council, in the absence Of Mayor
Thursday night reinstated Patrolman John
Mcclellan, who had been suspended by the
mayor. The council took this summary &C
ton because it was believed that the mayor

the council, T. +. Frawley, at the command
OF the mayor, who claimed that Frawley was
disorderly on the floor of the chamber. .Ths
Prohibition county convention will probably
be held Sept. 4....A speciaI meeting of the
