LAND DECISIONS.


The Land Commissioners Rulings AmrmeA
In Two Cases.
WARRINGTON, July 12.-The Secretary OF
the Interior has affirmed the decision of the
Commissioner OF the General Land-ohce
in the case Of John Schenck vs.. James H.
Trebecock involving section of land in
the Garden City land district, and on APP
peal of the latter from decision of No.
vember Is, 1886, rejecting his proof and
holding his fling for cancellation.
The appeal Of Frank A. Stops from the
Commissioners decision of December 10,
1855, rejecting the proof made by him, and
also the proof made by Sophia J. Thomp-
son for the northeast quarter section IS,
township g, southeast IL, East Larned,
Kan. Dosage Indian trust and diminished
reserve lands) and awarding the superior
right to the tract to Sophia j. Thompson
subject to the submission by her of new
proof showing compliance with the require
ments Of the law was considered. The tes-
timony sustains the finding of the local
officers and the decision Of other Offices
that Stops filings and settlement was
made in the interest Of Milo j. Reed, and
it was not until after he had quarreled
with Reed that he made bona fide settle
ment upon the tract. In the meantime,
Miss Thompson had. with Stops consent,
gone upon the land. She has, therefore,
the priority of right: but think the testi-
mony raises doubt as to whether she is
not acting in the interest Of Milo ]. Reed,
and for this reason her proof, when it shall
be submitted, should be carefully scru-
tinized. Decision is affirmed.

Rider Hanged.

MARSHALL, Mo-, July l4.-At III O'Clock
yesterday afternoon George n. Rider was
hanged for the murder Of Rousey p. Tai
liant, July q, 1876. The execution was set
for eleven O'Clock in the morning, but at
about $3.50 Messrs. Boyd & Sebree and
Samuel Davis, Riders attorneys, tele-
graphed Governor MOrehouse asking for q
stay Of execution for thirty days and
asked Sheriff Elliott to delay the execution
until the Governor could be heard from
and it was postponed until one
O'Clock. At 11:45 a telegram was re.
ceived from Private Secretary Yantis
that Governor Morehouse had left JEFF
ferson City for Springfield, and that the
telegram had been forwarded to him at
Clinton. Then the sheriff agreed to further
postpone the execution until three O'Clock,
and the crowds began to dispense. About
1880 a telegram was received from
Governor Morehouse declining to take any
action in the premises, and then Sheriff
Elliott ordered the execution.

The Florence Enterprise says: By a private letter from Prescott dated May 18th, it is learned that a smallpox epidemic is iminent in that city. Two infected men had to come that city from Jerome and circulated freely about town even after one of them had the disease quite we'll developed. One of these men died of the disease and the other is now down with it. There are twenty-five we'll de- veloped cases at Jerome (the United Verde mines) and quar- antine has been declared against that place and Verde Junction. The people of Prescott are said to be badly frightened at the pros pect of an epidemic, but the news papers are silent regarding the matter.

The Secretary of the Interior on May 9th, in a letter to the Com missioner of the General Land office, overruled decision of Sparks, and holds that the pres ence of a considerable growth of mesquite trees upon land does not exclude it from entry under the desert land act. This decision affects a large area in the south west and is the result of a petition signed by the governor and a large number of citizens of Ari- zona. Commissioner Stockslager said in his decision that he re- viewed and rendered his decision largely upon facts presented to him by the governor of Arizona, whose testimony upon the subject was both clear and intelligent.

All Brotherhood officials are now gathered in Chicago and will, within few days, determine what is necessary to meet the exigencies of the situation. Circulars to the public have been distributed which declare the strike not off.

If they really know for a cer- tainty about it, preachers should be able to answer the simple ques- ton, ''Will all the heathen go to perdition?" Yet, recently, when this question subsequently, was asked of all the clergymen in Charleston, they contradicted each other sadly. The Catholic, He brew, Episcopal and Unitarian pastors said those who are inno- gently ignorant of the salvation by Christ, and the doctrines of the Gospel and the church, may be saved. Rev. Dr. Thompson said all who die unconverted must be damned. Rev. Dr. Bracket doubted. Rev Dr. Ford affirmed that God had already done enough for the heathen, and they were without excuse. In which case it will not be wise to let the heathen see the above opinions, or they will have an excuse not looked for. On the whole, is it not cruel for the newspaper reporters to com pei these men to come down to meet auditors who can answer backs We propound this ques- tion. Will all newspaper report CTS go to heaven when they die,

J. H. Vaughn's pamphlet on the resources of Graham county, states facts. Graham is far to the east of Prescott and is one of the best counties in the territory. Ne traversed the county as early as 1866, when no white settler lived in 1t and now marvel at its pro- gress. It has large rivers, great grazing and farming areas, con- siderable timber and mines of great value Indeed its copper mines are the largest producers of any in Arizona.-Prescott Courier.

As the result of conference

As the result of a conference between Senators Bowen, Stewart and Teller, Senator Bowen has proposed an amendment to the river and harbor bill appropriat- ing $250,000 to be expended under direction of the geological survey for the construction of reservoirs in the arid regions for the purpose of irrigation and the prevention of overflow of the Mississippi river. This amendment was referred to the committee on improvement of the Mississippi river and will be reported formally in order to bring the matter within the rule, and not subject it to any point of order. This is to be the entering wedge to the policy establishing a vast scheme for the reclamation of the arid lands by reservoir irriga- ton, which likewise includes the prevention of overfows of the Mississippi riverby cutting off the spring floods. Senator Bowen says that one-third of the water from the mountains, if saved, will be more than sufficient to irrigate the entire area of arid lands, which comprises three tenths of the territory of the United States. This movement is considered sound, and being sustained be re- liable official statistics is received with marked favor.

An apparatus for examining rocks, to determine whether they contain metallic ores, has been patented by Messrs. John R. Will liamson, of Seattle, Washington Ty., and William w. Hickies, of Oakland, California One pole of battery is connected with one terminal of telephone receiver by means of wire in the usual way, the remaining pole of the battery being connected by con- ductor with brush provided with a suitable handle, while tke re- maining terminal of the telephone receiver is connected by con- ductor with a similar brush hay ing like handle. In examining rocks in place, the two brushes forming the termina-s of the con ductors connected with the tele- phone and battery are drawn along the face of the rock, while the telephone is held to the ear of the operator. If the rocks contain metals they conduct the current, and the movement of the brushes along the rough face of the rock causes variations therein, which are audible through the telephone, there being no sounds produced when the rock contains no miner als. In examining detached DOT tions of rock, the latter are placed upon conducting plate connected with the telephone through the battery, and the brush at the other terminal is touched to the rock, which, if it contains metal or me- tallic ores. will cause sounds to be heard in the telephone. Instead of using the conducting plate, the fragments of rock may be exam ined by being placed upon insulat- Ing material, and bringing both brushes in contact with each speci- men.-Scientific American.
