Sparks Extinguished.

Secretary Lamar has reversed the
decision of Commissioner Sparks in the
case of Lewis Sphinx near Aberdeen.
Mr. Sphinx built shanty 10x12 feet with
door, a window, and board roof and
moved therein his furniture. He also
broke five acres and started well but
ceased digging at depth Of fur or
five feet. He remained constantly on
his claim only about two months, for,
he being poor man, he found it nee
essary to obtain employment He then
begun running a dray in Aberdeen, re-
turning to his claim every week to re-
main over Sunday. At the expiration
of six months he made final proof, pay
ing the government $500. The entry
was cancelled by Commissioners Sparks
for insufficient residence and improve
ments. on the evidence of Sour witness
es, one Of whom was special agent Jay
cox. These witnesses testified they had
not see Sphinx on the claim. Four other
witnesses testified to the truth of the
above statement In reversing the de-
cision Secretary Lamar says: In view
of these findings and in fact that Spinks
raoney, $500, has been received by the
government in payment for the land, a
forfeiture should be declared upon the
most positive proof of bad faith on the
part OF the entryman. Much Of special
agent Jaycox's testimony is hearsay,
aud while information furnished may
have been sufficient upon which to in

Dakota came out Of the rugged northwest,
All bushes and tremors and clad in her best:
Her pretty lip quivercd-bu braveiy she came
Her right as daughter the youngest--to claim.
Half SIZZLING, half sobbing and q, she was sweet!
For her halr had the gold that you see in the wheat
When The summer is old; and the blue OF her eyes
Was as deep as the blue Of her own northern skies
Her fair limbs were clad in garment of green
Just the hue that in May on the prairie Is seen;
All Embroidered with flowers, wreatn and fesfoon
just the sort that are seen on the prairies in June
A mantle Of ermine she bore on her arm,
For the winter Is cold and maid should be warm:
mantle Of ermipe as white as thssnow
Or as white as tile arm that WAS hidoSa below
So came she stands She still waiting she pleads
All The gate with the iless hsss ss.sl1 he heads
There's tear on her cyelashA y, who but Z chs.yl
Could refuse she request Of 50 charming ! GIRL

1t appears that the president pardoned
the two train robbers out Of the Al
bany penitentiary because they had
made themselves useful nursing sick
convicts. The men had been sentenced
for life. This is very bad beginning
in the pardon line on the part of the ad-
ministration. Train robbery is great
crime, which cannot be atoned for by
clinical exploitation in the sick wards
of a penitentiary.

BY Order of COMMITTEES

Last Monday was the anniversary of
the day on which George Washington,
the saviour of our country and the first
president of the United States, was born.
Although it was not quite so extern
sively observed here in Warner as ia
larger cities, yet we venture to say there
was not one of our citizens who did not
fully appreciate the goodness of this
great day. In st. Paul it was duly OBJ
served for the first time in many years.
The most prominent and characteristic
feature of the days observance was a
street parade which took place in the
afternoon. The procession was better
than some street pageants in the past,
and it was less pretentious than others.
1t was sufficient to attract thousands of
men, women and children along the
sidewalks of the streets traversed by
the marching displays. Nearly every
body witnessed the parade and waited
good and long for the column to pass
in review. They all appreciated the
parade, and knew procession when
they met it coming up the street. Not
a few of the observers of the outward
and military exhibition of the reverence
for the immortal dead were ignorant
of the man whose natal day was being
celebrated.

While the report that the Chinese
government had called upon its subjects
in this country toreturn home was prob
ably canard the fact that there is a
possibility that China win resort to re-
taliatory measures is one demanding
the serious consideration of all thinking
citizens of the United States. Human
nature is an active and powerful factor
in all governments, whether Chinese or
American, and it would not be at all
strange to find China disposed to play a
game of tit-for-tat. Should she do so,
it may as well be conceded that she can
intiict as great injury to American as
America can to Chinese interests.
There are many citizens of the United
States now resident of China. Suppose
that they should be driven out of that
country, or-worse still, bnt not impos.
sible massacreds The commerce. be-
tween the two countries is not unim-
portant. Suppose it should be destroy
ed? 1t behooyes the government of the
United States, and citizens as well, to
consider these questions with. all the
seriousness that their gravity demands.

United States Marshal Maratta, now
that he is firmly planted in his new Of
flee. feels free to scoff at his fellow citi-
zens of Dakota who ask for statehood.
Admission, he says, is purely aquestion
ofpolitics, and Vestand his followers are
quite right in their refusal to permit it.
And then in that humorous way so char
acteristic of the new marshal, he adds
that all they want out their, outside OF
admission is the removal Of the United
States capital to Dakota" If marshal
Maratta does't look out he'll 'get him

city. Many of them are about COM
pleted, some Of which are tine private
residences. Real estate matters have
been booming during the month and
have been as profitable to dealers as at

have been very active and the disposal
of country property equals the sales OF
any former period. City property is
greatly sought after and held at high
figures, business locations especially.
There has been lively demand of late

is coming to the front and it is evident
that its real estate affairs have a bright

SAN Francisco. March 9.--In tn,

the murder of his wife Cecilia Bowers by
poisoning her. full jury was obtained
to-day, and counsel for prosecution mad,
long opening statement concerning
what was intended to be proved on the
part of the people. Counsel defined the
distinction between direct and circum
stantiai evidence, of which the latter
character is much of the evidence in this
case. He continued that there would
be disclosed q chain Of circumstances
showing how defendant by secret muir.
der caused the death Of the wife he
should have honored, how he deliberate
ly brought her to bed Of agony, and
while she lay there guarded the door
and for eleven weeks administered secret
poison that at last compassed her death
on November |, 1885, and he did all this
in order to gain small amount of money
from certain beneficiary certificates ar
ranged by her at his request. 1t would
be shown that defendant had much
knowledge of poisons and their effects.
that he had had three wives, that all
had died under very similar circum-
stances, and that while Cecilia Bowers
lay dying he was arranging to gain a
fourth wife, and that young lady of
San Jose, even had her wedding trous-
seau partly prepared for the marriage to
defendant. Counsel for defense inter
rupted to objebt to statements Of this
character outside of the specific charge
being tried, and long argument ensued.
During the argument counsel outlined
defense by the statement that poisoning
OF any kind would be denied by defend
ant absolutely and in toto.
