Ducks for the Lawyers.

Dudley b. Smith, a wealthy business
man OF Courtlandt, New York, has
filed a claim against his deceased grand.
mothers estate for 50, 702 ducks. 1t
seems that when about l3 years old, in
June, 1866. he let his grandmother, Mrs
Jeanette Smith. have three ducks that
he owned. under an alleged agreement
that whenever demanded she should
make return to him out Of the natural
increase Of the flock, at the rate OF two
for one every second year. Mrs. Smith
retained the entire increase over twenty
years, until she died in November, 1856,
Now in the settlement of her estate the
grandson presents his claim for 30, 702
ducks OF failing to return the fowls for
the equivalent in cash or so cents duck,
amounting to the sum OF Sl5,262. His
father, who is the administrator Of the es-
tate, promptly allowed the claim. Other
expectant heirs Of the grandmother
property at once entered vigorous pro-
test against the administrator action
and appealed to Surrogate Easton ofTioga
county, who has jurisdiction in the case,
to reject the claim. and thus there
has been begun lively contest in the
courts over the duck issue.

The Monitor Company is shipping
81 900 a week. Most of this is pro-
duced from tailings.

Our population is thinning out by
degrees. Nearly every day some party
of two or three pull out for fields in
search OF employment.
The assessment roll of White Pine
county is completed and foots up
about 100000. Mortgages and the
probable raises by the Board of Equal
ization will make the roll reach over
the above figures.

THE PUSSY" WOMAN.
why 80 Many Hotel CLERKS GO or
In - Corner and Die.

Said an observant clubman to a
quick-fngered scribe of the Proyi-
dence Journal.
| sat in the Office of the Mermaid
House the other day, while a great
stout dowager had struggle with the
clerk. To begin she wanted to know
the history of all the guests, their So
cial and financial standing, with any
personal peculiarities the clerk might
have observed. Then she began
long banter about a suite am conf
dent she never for an instant had any
idea OF taking, her policy being to tire
the clerk out on this so that when she
proposed a compromise on the rooms
she really meant TO take he would be
glad to give in and get the thing
settled at the price OF whatever con-
cession. She asked how long the car
pets had been up; how far her win
dows were from the kitchen, the laun-
dry and the stable; whether a rebate
would be allowed If her daughters
went to Mount Desert for a week, and
whether she must pay extra If she
brought friend to dine with her.
" All these and a thousand ques-
tons more were patiently answered by
that unlucky wretch OF clerk, and
she had really reduced him to a con-
dition OF such complete exhaustion
before she even mentioned the suite
she had from the first decided upon
that he practically let her make her
own terms, while he promised any
thing she chose TO ask"

10 ~ Found, Too, In tbe Old Em-

81 have found the most accommodate
ing railroad in the world 'Ssaid New
York merchant, as he stood at the de-
pot yesterday waiting for the 2 2:40
train. was up to Saratoga Mon
day and thought | would visit the
place where General Grant died on
Mount MaeGregor, so | took the train
that runs up there, about ten miles
away. As we were shooting up the
mountain an old lady came along at
one OF the cross roads where there
was but one house in sight, shaking
her umbrella and valise at the conduc-
tor, as if she thought he was running
a street car. We were going at a good
rate OF speed, but while | sat laugh
ing at the old lady's dilemma the con-
ductor pulled the bell-rope, stopped
the train and let her get aboard. We
had gone only two or three miles when
some OF the ladies looking out OF the
windows were admiring the daisies.
The conductor asked Would you
like to stop and get a handful?" One
of the ladies laughed outright, but an
other, who seemed to be posted little
better, said: Yes, won't you please
stop the train?" Bang went the rope,
and the train stopped out in the field
for five minutes while all the passen-
gers got out and loaded themselves up
with daisies. asked the conductor if
il was his habit TO stop anywhere for
passengers, and he replied: This
train will stop anywhere and at any
time for any man, woman or child
who wants TO get ON or off. We run
our own road and can see almost from
one end of il to the other. We give
the passengers all the pleasure we can
for their money."--Albany Journal.

SIOUX FALLS, Sept. 21.-The Repub-

week to put in nomination the regular
county ticket and to select delegates to
the legislative convention. The princi-

delegates. inasmuch as the county ticket
is practically settled now. The party
on the legislative ticket is just now be-
tween the devil and the deep sea, and
its captain would give good deal for a
chart and compass to let it out without
loss. Soderberg asks for the delegation,
but it is now past doubt that he has re-
pudiated Mathews and refuses to come
out in his support. There are two
other candidates. both of whom are
good Republicans. One of these is G.
ID. Bannister, of Valley Springs, who
has been county commissioner for the
last few years, and who as such had
gained a large acquaintance and a
strong following in the county. He is
a farmer and has the confidence of the
farmers, and the Republicans think
he would be able to divide SOderberg'S
vote. The o.her candidate, who is

And the reverse side:

In the early part of the fifty's, several
parties bound for California passed to
the westward and in sight of the hills.
In 1857, Mr.. A. j. POZnanSky, then a
boy in Omaha, saw and talked with two
Welchmen who had been picked up in
the vicinity of the hills by returning
party of Callfornians, being the sur
VivOrS of a party of nine. They had
with them $4,000 in
BLACK HILLS GOLD.
Before that the Sioux had frequently
sold gold to Missouri river steamboat
captains, carrying the same in buckskin
sacks such as used by white men, but
would not tell where or how they got it,
simply pointing to the westward. These
facts prove it was not impossible for
the party to have taken out ''all the
gold they could carry" which under the
circumstances would not be more than
twenty-five or thirty pounds, or about
$1,000 apiece. 1t iSs preSumable that
their Indian guide would take them
to the richer pockets known to his
people. In 1867, one man on French
Creek took out little over $4,000; in
1S77-S, another man at ROckerVille,
washed out with rocker, nearly $4,000.
1t was from just such pockets or
deposits that the Indians got their gold.

GRAND FORKS, Sept. 21.-The second
annual North Dakota territorial fair,
that has been IN progress in this city
during the week, has been one of the
greatest of successes. The display of
live stock is simply immense. In cattle,
Shorthorns, Jerseys, Holsteins, Polled-
Angus, Herefords and other breeds are
represented. The display of Jerseys is
far above the ordinary. Farmers from
all over the country express their sur
prise at the exhibit in the cattle depart
ment. Good must result from the gath
ering as farmers will carry home new
ideas and new aims in the matter of
cattle raising. The horses are repre-
scented in every class. Especially fine
is the exhibit of stations. HOrsemen of
the territory will receive fresh Stimu-
lus and the general grade of horsehesh
will be raised several degrees during
the next few years.
THE RACES
have been entirely satisfactory. The
track is in excellent shape and has been
so all the week. Speaking of stock, it
must not be forgotten that there are
about a hundred head of sheep and as
many hogs with several filters of pig
gies junior.
The address of President Wade on
Wednesday was directed to the need of
strengthening the stock interests of Da-
kota, and inducing farmers to raise
their own cattle and horses. He argued
strongly in favor of raising
PURE BRED ANIMALS,

The dairying department of the farm
was dwelt upon at some length, and the
cow was represented as the true
mortgage-litter. 1t was shown how
competition has greatly increased the
average yield of milk as well as butter
producing qualities. The address was
able and characteristic of the man.
The board of agriculture and Presi-
dent Wade deserve great credit for
keeping the grounds free of fakirs and
whisky vendors. Last year the scenes
