The Omaha Line.

Sioux Falls Press: The recent move
of the Omaha in the direction of
Mitchell has caused much speculation
as to the designs of this company.
The mere building to Mitchell in itself
would not indicate that any further
advance is contemplated, but the
announcement that the road is being
graded southwest from Mitchell shows
that something is in the wind. From
two gentlemen, who from their business
connections may be supposed to have
more reliable information on the sub
ject than most people, the reporter of
the Press learned yesterday that the
aim of the Omaha is undoubtedly to
strike through to Valentine, Nebraska.
The Missouri Valley line will probably
ultimately constitute the Northwest
ern's Pacific line, and by this extension
st. Paul will be given through line to
San Francisco. There is, however, this
objection to be raised to the supposed
extension of the Omaha. In order to
strike Valentine the road will have to
cross the river in the northern part OF
Charles Mix county and from there
run through about seventy miles of the
Brule Indian reservation. 1t can be
seen that such line would not fol
years to come prove very profitable.

Land Patents to be Issued.

-
A Washington special of the 9th
says: Eighteen months after his
famous order of April 5, 1885, Mr..
Sparks board of review has succeeded
in clearing up the homestead entries
delayed by that enthusiasts mistake
and to-day directed that patents be is
sued in 5,7s4 entries. These also in
clude number of pre-emption entries,
but there are still large number of
timber culture and pre-emption en-
tries to be passed upon before patents
are granted. The patents on delayed
entries in the Northwest recommended
for issue by the board of review are
distributed as follows:
Dakota-Aberdeen, 1853; Grand Forks
3; Huron, 1920; Mitchell, 899; Water
town, 676; Yankton, 1893; total, 1864.
Montana-Helena, ia.
Mr.. Sparks has asserted that ninety
per cent. or 29,7OO Of the $4,000 of the
suspended entries were fraudulent
The 5,784 entries above mentioned were
approved out of the less than 1000 en-
tries passed upon by the board. OF the
1900 "held up" the majority were sim
ply laid aside for further investigation
and not for cancellation. This has beer
about the proportion Of further sus
pensions of the three previous batche.
passed upon by the board.

Flax Statistics,

Sioux Falls Press: According to the
statistics CLEANED by the territorial
commissioner of immigration, from
assessors returns, the flax yield of 1885
was 1,615,945 bushels in the thirty-one
counties of Aurora, Barnes, Benson,
Brule, Buffalo, Burleigh, Campbell,
Clark, Douglas, Eddy, Edmunds, Fos-
ter, Grant, Griggs, Hutchinson. Hyde,
Lake, LaMoure, Mcpherson, Miner,
Morton, Nelson, Ransom. Sphinx, Stark,
Stutsman, Sully, Turner, Walworth,
Rolette and Yankton. This was an
increase of 537,65O bushels over the
weld of 1884. The same thirty-one
counties report 234, ,655 acres as having
been planted to flax in 1886. 1t would
require an average of nearly seven
bushels per acre to make the yield of
this year as good as last-and it's
doubtful if the average has been that
large in the counties named, for the
list includes many not within the best
flax region. and n,nits several of those
that are-the reason for the omission
being that the assessors did not return
them. The total flax yield for the
territory in 1886 is estimated at $780,.
600. The wheat yield is figured at %.
OOO,OOO for 1885. There was an increase
of about one-fifth in the acreage, but {
decrease of one-third in the average
yield-making reduction of 5,OO0,OO'
bushels on the total product.

For Governor Of Dakota.

A Huron special to the Pioneer Press
says: 1t was given out here last Mon
day that Judges L. X. Church and
Palmer would change courts this
week, and Judge Palmer has held a
term in Sphinx county this week. To-
day it leaked out that Judge Church
is in New York or Washington. The
belief here is that he will be appointed
governor of Dakota in short time.

SpOoks in AmerIcus.

Tuesday night a young man
was walking around in the ceme-
terry, and as he was going toward
the gate he saw a light which he
thought was lamp, about 100
yards off in another part of the
cemetery. He started toward it
to investigate, thinking he would
see ghost. He says that he had
not taken half dozen steps when
the light flashed up right at him
as big as a house and then went
out. So did he; SO badly scared
that he could not find the gate
but went over the high fence with
out touching it, and he didn't
think telegram could run the
wires faster than he made tracks
for home. He believes in ghosts
now for he has seen one.-Ameri-

OnlY ssaIf Alive.

There are hosts of men and wo-
men who, to coli. a phrase, are
only half alive. That is to say,
they have seldom if ever any ap-
petite, are nervous, weak, fidgetty
and troubled by numberless small
pains and aches. In the presence
OF vigorous, exuberant vitality
they seem mere pigmies. Such
persons are fond of frequently
dosing themselves, swallowing in
the course of the year enough
drugs to stock any apothecary's
shop OF average Dimensions. This,
of course, defeats instead of fur
therlng the end in view, viz, the
recovery Of health and vigor.
Were they to seek it from an un-
falling source of vitality, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, how differ
ent would be their case. Then
vigor would return to its debilita-
ted frames, the glow Of health to
its wan cheeks, their trembling
uncertain gait would grow firm
and elastic, appetite, that grand
est of all sauces, would give rel
ish for the daily food, were it ev-
er SO course, and refreshing sleep
would crown the tasks of the day.

"A NEAT JOB"
THE ENTrRpRrsrNa BURGLAR A.BURG.
LING IN PORTSMOUTH TOWN.
A Safe Blown Open and Two Hundred Dol
lars secured-The Work OF
Professionals.

Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch ]
NORFOLK, March IL, 1886.
One Of the most daring burglaries
ever perpetrated in Portsmouth occur
rcd during last night at the large whole
sale liquor and tobacco establishment
of j. & E. Mahoney, corner High and
Water streets. The large bank.safe in
the office was blown open in the most
clever and professional manner, and the
front OF it completely wrecked by the
explosives used. Probably 5000 was
secured in money and some bonds and
notes. The work is pronounced the
best in the professional line, but to cover
their tracks the burglars broke into
the Portsmouth Iron Works, adjoining
Maboney's, and brought into the office
and left scattered about the floor lot
Of hammers, bits, augurs, and other or
binary implements Of machine-shop,
but no safe-drills or burglars tools
were found. No doors were found dis
turbed. 1t is supposed that one OF the
gang secreted himself in the warehouse
before the doors were closed for the
night, and some time later the other
burglars came over from Norfolk in a
small boat. The establishment is at
the foot Of High street near the water.
AS usual, the police are now on the
hunt for suspicious characters.
The past two weeks has been sea-
son of gracious revival with the Baptist
and Methodist churches Of Norfolk
and Portsmouth. The revival at Court

Tonic Sol Ia.

Much interest is taken in the in
PRODUCTION in this city Of new system
of vocal music called the TOnic-Sol-Fa
system by one Of our well-known or
ganists. 1t is claimed by the advocates
Of the Tonic Sol Ia that this system
removes all the difficulties encountered
by students Of the staff notation, and
renders the art of music as plain and
easily comprehended as the science of
numbers, and enables one to read either
notation in three months.
In England the Tonic-Sol-Fa move
ment has taken prodigious strides since
its inception in 1910, and next June a
chorus Of 5000 Tonic-Sol-Fa-iSts will
hold festival and compete for prizes
at the Crystal Palace, in London. In
this country it has been adopted by the
public schools of New Jersey and some
parts of New York, and is also taught
in the normal school at Winston, n.
c., to the exclusion of the staff nota-
ton. Mr.. Tomlins, the well-knowp
director of the Apollo Club, OF Chicago,
has devoted his entire efforts to in.
structing the children Of the Chicago
schools in its use. 1t is estimated that
there are nearly 5000 teachers of the
system in the United States.
