Fair Trade In Progress with Few Fiuctua-

- INDIANAPOLIS, May 2.
In most departments to-day there was a good
deal of activity. and fluctuations in values were
few and unmportant The firm tone to staple
groceries continues. Abelief prevails, however,
that in the not distant future coffees will de-

fine crop this season are unusually bright The
best estimates place. the crop for the coming
season at 6, 600. 900 sacks. 1t will require from
three TO four months before the full advantage
of the new crop can b realized. AL signs point
to lower figures on coffee next fall. In the East

Whtch Good Faith Wsns fAe Day.


Witch Good fatfh Wsns Ae Day.
Mr.. Holman's bill to suspend the opcr-
alton Of the public land laws, which
formed the subject OF my last letter, has
not yet emerged from the room OF the
Committee on Public Lands, where itwas
sent at the time OF its introduction.
Whether IL will bc passed by the House
OF Representatives or not is an open
question, some members expressing the
opinion that il win, while Others assert
the contrary. One member Of the COM
mittee is strongly inclined to the opinion
that the bill will be defeated In the COM
mittee room, and those having the in
terests OF the great northwest at heart
should hope that his opinion win prove
correct.
A case was decided by the assistant
secretary OF the Interior few days ago
which illustrates the theory that II is
good iaith that counts in periecting en-
tries under the pre-emption and home
stead laws.
|. Lafayette Grim, OF the Niobrara land
district, Nebraska, filed his declaratory
statement May %, 1886, alleging settle
ment the day before. He established an
actual residence on the land with his
family June 1, following.
On January IL, 1SS7--seven months
and ten days from beginning residence
he submitted his proof and offered pay
ment for theland, eproofshowing that
his family had been continuously upon
the land from the date when the residence
thereon was first established, but that
Grim had personally been absent from
the land at work for two months during
the time. The total valuation Of the
improvements was thirty-five dollars.
The register and receiver rejected the
proof and refused TO allow him TO enter
the land on the ground that his improve
ments were so meagre and because the
law does not permit absence from the
land during the six months preceding
proof. This decision wns affirmed by the
commissioners (Sparks) Of the General
Land Office, and the filing was held for
cancellation
On appeal, Mr.. Muldrow acting sccrc-
tlry OF the Interior, found that the inn
provements. asdcscribed by the claimant
and his witnesses, were quite as good M
those usually made by pre-emption
claimants, and that the furnishing of his
house indicated an intention 20 make n
permanent home, and that the valuation
81 the improvements at S35 was very
modest so, in view OF the evident good
inith OF the claimant, he ordered the final
papers TO issue.
From this IL il 10 bc inferred that the
department will not permit the fixing of
a minimum of improvements, and that
officers in passing upon the sufIlciency 81
proof must use discretion, and net In
each case i'm accordance with the law and
the facts 40 that justice may be done 90
all In other words, they must, like the
Mikado, in Gilbert X SulIivan's operetta,
'let the punishment fit the crime"

you have been there you should go again.
The famous Spread Eagle Chain o Lakes
consist of nine lakes adjoining, the waters OF
which are deep and cool and are alive with
pickerel, bass and perch. FRED. JOHN, the
guide, meets all trains at the landing and has
large number of small boats which are rented
at reasonable rates. You can leave town at
a. m, and return at m, giving you a
long day at the lakes, or you can pack up a
camping outfit and make a stay there; a finer
place for an outing certainly can not be found.
