cinnamon smurs,c opium.

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. PA specia.
dispatch from Spokane Falls says re-
markahle state of affairs is reported
from the United States custom house at
Osooyoos Lake, on the British Columbia
border. No collector has been stationed
there, and now Indians have taken pos
session of the log structure formerly oc-
cupied by representative of this gov
ernment. Just across the line her mai.
csty's government has q fine custom
house, conducted with all the precision
usually found in the British outposts.
Cinnamon and opium are constantly
crossing the border without restraint.
IT is reported that an organized band of
thieves have dcspoilcd stock ranges in
southern and central Idaho of large
number of cattle and horses during the
past season. Depredations seem tohaye
commenced last May. Recently five
men were arrested, but it is thought that
many are still engaged in thieving, and
that it is Systematically organized, and
the stock is evidently being sent to dis
tant points for disposal.

Interesting Suits.

CouSclI BLUFFS, Ia. Oct. 25.-Three
suits have been filed in the district
court. The plaintiffs are Finley Burke,
j. c. Abbott and Florence Armstrong,
who each sued for $4,000 The de-
fendant in all three cases is the Citi-
zens' State bank, of Council Bluffs.
The suit grew out of large suit now
pending in the supreme court, wherein
the bank is plaintiff and Abbott the de-
fendant. Tho suit, which was begun in
1887, involves the possession of a large
number Of cattle valued at $4,000.
Burke is Abbott's attorney. The claim
of the petitioners in the present suit is
that the bank sought in the cattle suit
to maliciously cheat the plaintiff out of
the cattle in controversy, and when Abb
bott got the cattle one night and ran
them off the bank had him indicted for
grand larceny. The suits will probably
arouse much interest when they come
to trial, owing to the large amounts in
volved and the prominence Of the par
ties

LONDON, Oct. 26.-Michael Davitt re.
sumed his address before the Parnell
commission. He said the landlord sys-
TEN in Ireland should be abolished and
the land vested in the state. Eight
tenths of tho money which came from
Americans for the support of the Irish
cause, he declared, came from Irish
working men and working women.
Davitt, continuing, said that Hous-
ton, the secretary OF the Loyal and
Patriotic league, and his accomplices
knew the letters alleged to have been
written by Parnell, which were printed
in the London Times, were forgeries be-
fore Pigott took the witness stand, and
that it had come to his (Davitt's1 knowl-
edge that Pigott had confessed the fact
prior to his tcstifying for the Times.
On being interrupted by Chief Justice
Hannen, who said that the commission
would not accept the statement without
evidence. Davitt replied that the ale
cation would be again made and proven
later on.
Davitt tried to point out that Parnell,
and not he, formed the Land league in
America. LeCaron, ho declared, had
failed to prove tho assertion that tho
Clan-naGael managed Parnell's tour in
America. The money collected in Amer
lea had never been intended to assist
armed rebellion in Ireland.

ofIntercst to Newshoxs.

CHICAGO, Oct a6.--Newsboys all over
the country will be interested in de-
clsion concerning one of their number
that has just been decided in the SUI
preme court. The case was one in
which newsboy had been injured for
life while Jumping off street car while
in motion. Suit was brought against
the company and the child secured
a verdict for $3,342. This amount
was at once deposited in court,
but the case was appealed
and carried up through various stage
until the last resort in the state was
reached. The supreme court now de-
cides that since the boy was permitted
on the car he was not a trespasser, and
being allowed to jump on and off, the
company assumed responsibility for any
damages that might ensue. This is
said to be the first decision on such a
question that has ever been rendered.

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 25.-Carl Grave,
fireman, and Ludwig Loder, seaman,
two survivors of the crew of the steam
ship Earnmoor, told last night a story
horrible in its details, OF the way they
sustained life by cannibalism for days.
Loder said. ''thc only food we had
the first fifteen days in the boat
was flying fish and a few raw small
sea birds divided among eleven men. y
He then relates that on the seventeenth
day one of the crew named Robinson
died. He was cut up and eaten by the
others of the crew. Two days after
Robinson's death Third Engineer Hunt
died and his body was also cut up
for food. 'In about three days"
said Lodor, "thc limbs and feet of all
began to swell and several have since
broken out in ugly sores. We think ii
is poison from the human flesh and
blood.'' Both Graves and Lodor say
they have no recollection of the taste OF
the human flesh. so great was their
mental anguish at the time.

CHICAGO, H., Oct. 25.-Thc crowd
that sought to obtain admission to the
Cronin trial this morning was even
greater than yesterday. The interest
in the trial is intense. Before the court
opened the bloodstained trunk was
transferred from the south side, where
it has been kept since the inquest,
in a vault in the states attorneys office.

early day. The plan of the prosecution
was to continue the introduction of evil

such overwhelming weight as
to prevent an attempt on the part of the
defense to controvert it.
Tho first witness was Nicholas Wal

years; identified the body at the morgue
as that of the doctor.

BISMARCK, N. d., Oct. 26.-Du.ing
the Cleveland administration post
office was established in this county
named Wales, and ]. T. King appointed
postmaster. 1t was small and insignifi-
can't and matter of only $4 or S. a
year to the postmaster. Soon after
President Ilarrison's advent Mr.. King
handed in his resignation and demanded
instant relief from his official duties.
No attention was paid to the resigna
ton, and Mr.. King wrote the depart
ment four times afterward but received
no answer. At last becoming utterly
disgusted Mr.. King today packed up all
the Wales postoffice paraphernalia and
lodged them in the Bismarck postofiice
for safe keeping. He has just removed
to town for the winter, and Wales is one
of the things that has been. The affair
has created no end of talk.

The order from the treasury abolish
ing the stamps on opium boxes, issued
last year, has been productive of much
harm in San Francisco. The stock of
smuggled opium has vastly increased,
large stocks having been brought in
from Mexico, from British Columbia
and other places to which it had been
smuggled while the stamp restriction
was still in force in California. Fully
1000. 900 worth of the drug has been
sold in San Francisco within the last
eight months, and the smugglers have
cut the price down below what the
legitimately imported article can be
proftably sold for. The collector of
the port declares that stamp SO well
made that it cannot be counterfcited
should be put on again at once.
