Commissioner Sparks Sustained by Sec.
retary Lamar.

Secretary Lamar rendered q decision in
the case OF the contested timber-culture
claim of Patrick Byrne against William w.
0orwood taken on appeal from the COM
missioner OF the general land office. Mr..
Bryne contested Mr.. Dorwood's claim to
the northwest quarter of section 6, town
ship l3S range 10, Bismarck land district,
on the ground that the contestant had not
planted u tree nor broken the required five
acres, although he had possession OF the land
since May %, 1877. Dorwood claimed that
he was not compelled to make any i'm
provements on the land so long as his title
was contested, and cites the fact that in
the case OF Meserve against the contestee
the land had been decided, Jan. 3. 1885,
to be his, in the face OF an admission
by him that he had made no im-
provement on the land since
May 21, 1880. The register and receiver
would not accept this precedent, and recon-
mended the cancellation OF Dorwood's g en-
try. Commissioner Sparks held the entry
Tor cancellation and Doorwood appealed
to the secretary. In sustaining the decis-
ion the secretary says:
There is no doubt of the correctness ol
the position that pending final decision
on contest on whatever ground Oh
charge, the entryman whose claim is at
tackled should continue to comply with the
law, and ii he failed to do this he laid him.
self liable to attack in a subsequent
contest, should he successfully defend in
the one pending. To hold differently would
be to condone laches and to open the door
to q practice which would enable parties
under guise Of a contest to hold land in
definitely without complying with the re-
luirements of the law under which their
entries were made.

Midsummer Madrigal.
Behold

Behold
The tenebriic curtains of the night
The twilight's hands let fall,
The sunset glory with the dying light
Fades from the western wall.
The gold
The crimson, purple, silver eoloring dies,
The flowers their petals close;
The stars begin to ope their twinkling eyes,
And dewdrops gem the rose.
III.
Now see
The amorous youth approach the garden gate
With rapture in his eye,
The maid he knows his coming doth await
With fond anxiety.
And he
Deems he Is blest beyond all men the sun
E'er she'd his beams upon;
The maiden,s guileless heart he's sure he's won
And 1t Ia all his own.
Ill
How sad
To think the fairest, fondest hopes decay
When bourgeoning to blooml
They bud and blossom, and, alackadaN
Our sunshine turns 70 gloom.
Too badl
See from his eyes the joyous sparkle fade;
The swain arrives too late;
Another youth is swinging with the maid
Upon the garden gate.

Judge Wilson of Winona Nominated :
Congress-.

The Democratic Congressional Conven-
ton for the First Minnesota District was
held at Winona on the oath. William
Brown OF Olmsted was elected chairman
and j. H. McGovern of Wabasha,
secretary. John Frank OF Mower was
the leading candidate for Congress, and
was strongly supported. He had many
friends in the Winona delegation, many in
Wabasha and was probably the second
choice of the convention. Judge Wilson's
Office was besieged as it never was
before by stream OF clients. AL
most every delegate present, in.
cluding John Frank and his friends, called
on the Judge and demanded his acceptance.
The utmost pressure was brought to bear
upon him and he finally consented and
made a speech accepting the nomination.

The signal was Immediately given by the
telegraph operator, and the response came
almost in an instant.
Mrs. Cleveland stepped forward to give the
signal which should move the machinery
more than thousand miles away. The
spectators laughed heartily when the presi-

it with Il jerk. The circuit was open the
whole distance, and within two minutes
after Mrs. Cleveland had pressed tho but
ton the reply came from Minneapolis that
the machinery was working beautifully.

after the two years OF novitiate. To
enter here one is Obliged to have
reached o certain point in a classical
course OF education. Teaching be-
ing the principal object of the Jesuits,
they accept on probation only
such young men as promise to be

parents refuse their consent to sons
embracing this lie, the applicant must
have attained his twenty first year be-
fore he can be received. The two
years novitiate are followed by a
three years course Of severe study,
supplemented in turn by three years
more devoted to philosophy and
natural sciences. Then the scholastic,
as he isnow called, is sent forth to be-
gin his career as teacher. Later on
he devotes four years to the master
