atintervals for three hours. At l o'clockt this
morning it suddenly became quiet in his

found him dead. On his pillow, not far

New York, Sept. Henry GEORGE re-

Servia. Delegates from the Single Tax
club met Mr.. George at the pier and ex-
tended to him a cordial welcome.
A reception in the evening to Mr.. George

- In response, among other utterances, Mr..

Is the 2oth OF February a Day7
The question whether the 29thol
February Is legally 9 day or not has
lately been presented to the courts g
Indiana. There is authority in that
state to the effect that the 28th and
29th Of February are to be counted
as one day; but when the supreme
court SO decided it had notexamined
q h ancient English statute concern
ing leap year, passed in the twenty
third year Of Henry III, which bears
upon the subject. Accordingly, in
the case to which we refer, the judge
determined to consider the question
de novo, and he came to the cOnclu-
sion that the 29th of February must
be regarded as as day in the contem-
plation of the law, at least, as much
as any other, and must be reckonedin
the legal computation Of time where
days are considered.
rs the man who works on Feb. %

rendered on Feb. % no priority as q
lien over one rendered on Feb. 30?
Could a man sentenced to be hung on
Feb. 20 be legally executed on Feb.
2S?" OF course not. The confusion
on the subject has evidently arisen
from statutes treating of the entire
year as a whole. Thus, there is q
provision in the Revised Statutes ots
New York that whenever the term
year" or years" shall be used in
any law sentence, contract or instru-
ment OF writing the year intended.

HIS A GLAD.
A Stolen Child Returned to q Crippled

CHAMBERLAIN. s.. D., Special, Sept. IAN
interesting romance comes from the Crow
Creek reservation. B. F. Balch, a badly
crippled veteran of the civil war, now a
settler or these lands, has just received in
teiligence which makes his heart glad.
Some fourteen years ago, while living in
Missouri, Mr.. Balch's little girl. then five
years old, was stolen from her home by
some unknown persons, and for many
years, though much money and time was
spent in the search, no trace of the lost one
could be found. Mr.. Balch had given up
all hope of ever seeing his daughter again,
until recently a communication from him
to the authorities at Washington in regard
to his pension was published in the news
papers and met the daughters eye, who
was living in Texas. She at once opened
up communication with her father, and
succeeded, by a pair of her mothers ear
rings which she wore at the time of her
capture, and in other ways, in convincing
the old gentleman beyond doubt that she
was his long-lost daughter. The old mans
gladness knew no bounds, and he can
hardly contain himself until the arrival of
his daughter, who is now ON her way from
Texas to join him at his reservation home.
