Sioux City journal: There have been
ptsange rumots etioat the past thirty
days concerning the Uuion Pacifc's
attitude sowsrd q trsnscontinental line
from Sioux City. Some very good tales
have been told by yell posted men OF
right of vey purchases between Norfolk
and Sioux City and of internal purchases
IN Sioux Oity In the interest of che Union
PacItio. But the stories we're oil 50
m%ystifyiDg in the way Of detail that very
irtls OBEDIENCE was gwen them. Is was
known by q few that the Ogden line
right OF way agents were busy bstw e-n
Sioux City and points in Nebraska. and
1T was believed by them that the story
concerning the Union Paoifio originated
ont OF the nots OF these representatives..
A visiting railroad official, hoWeve-,
tells p Journal man that Union Pacific
engineers are locating D line between
Norfolk aud Sioux Oity. and that In case
the Ogden people commence operations
in the spring the Union Pacific folke
will bank up a track between Norfolk
and sioux City at once and begin bust
ness here q year at least in advance CT
its rival. He further states that the
Northwestern system and the Union
Pacific will join hands against the new
road and will make railroad life for the
nav line q continual burden so long as
there is q ghost of q show
to make it give up. "The Union
Pacific has need for all Its
surplus money and does not want to
build this connection" he said. '.but it
will be obliged TO protect itself. AS for
the Northwestern. 1t has been the secret
malignant enemy OF the Ogden project
for two years. pursuing it with the
stealth OF q cunning fox. Had it rot
been for the quiet fight of the
Northwestern the road would have been
hall completed by his time. AS . last
resort is will JOIN hands with the Union
Pacific and contest every inch Of North
western territory with the Ogden line.
The fight will be exceedingly interesting,
especially il the the Illinois Central
pools with the new road"

continued unabated II .pread to my, arms and
tinually sitting on the floor on q pillow my
limbs contracted so that lost all control of
them, and was utterly helpless. My mother
would have TO hit me out and into bed. I
could get around the hou.e on nay hands and
feet, but l could not get my clothes on at all,
and had to year a sort of dressing gown. Ny
hair had all matted down or fallen off. and my
head, face. and ears were, one scab, and | had
to have q towel on my head all the time in

consulted q prominent physician and surgeon
here in Chicago (the ether physicians before

He wanted to cut the sinews of my legs 40 that

1riehigan,s Swamp Lanas.


WASHINGTON, Dec. iS.-An Important
decision was rendered by Secretary Villas
in what Ia known as the Michigan
swamp land case. This was a claim
brought by the state against the United
States, involving the right to about thir-
teen hundred acres of land In the Reed
City and Marquette land districts of the
state, under the swamp land grant of
1850. The lands In question were re-
ported under dates of March 20, 1852,
and Feb. II, h,S53, to the general land
office By the surveyor general of Michi-
gan, as swamp and ~oyerflowed land.
Lists embracing n large part of these
lands were approved by the secretary of
The interior, but nom of them went to
patent. The state legislature In 1851
passed an act by which 1t was agreed
that the designation of the swamp Ian Is
under the act of 1850 should be made
from the field notes of the survey on file
in the surveyor generals office. Suisse
qaently, under act of congress instigat-
cd by joint resolutions of the Michigan
legislature, re-surveys wege made,
1t aias|TepTcsrntei that aE the
surveys already made were value
less because of their inaccuracies.
BY these re-survsys, large tracts of land
originally reported as swamps were not
so classed, and in subsequent lists these
lands were not included. The patents
were all based upon the field notes of the
corrected surveys, where such had been
made, to which the state made no objec-
ton. Now the state claims that the
first Qualifications were conclusive. While
this claim directly involves about 300
acres, the qestions involved in It's de-
cision are said to apply to other cases
in which the state claims about ], zoe, 600
acres, including a large part Of the
lands granted to the state for the Grand
Rapids and Indiana; the Flint and Mar
quette, and the jackson, Lansing and
Saginaw railroad. The secretary sus-
the state.

Mason & Hamlln Organs and Pianos.

The improved method OF fastening the
strings of pianos, invented by the Mason
& Hamlin Organ and Piano Company in
the year 1882, is unquestionably one OF
the most important improvements ever
made, making the instrument more
richly musical in its tones, as well as
more durable. and much less liable to
get out of tune.
Both the Mason & Hamlin organs and
pianos excel chiefly in that which is the
chief excellence in any musical instru-
ment, quality Of tone. Other things,
though important, are much less 80 than
this. An instrument with unmusical
tones cannot be good musical instru-
ment. Illustrated catalogues, contain.
ing descriptions OF new and popular
styles of organs and pianos, introduced
this season, will be sent free to any one
addressing the Company, Boston, New
York or Chicago.
