Petitions are pouring in from Washines

Of the Tacoma chamber Of commerce, and
manager Of the Indian school near that
city, is in w sshington. He wants rs.
newal Of the contract3be the Catholics
and the government for the education Of
Indians. Owing to the attitude Of tho
Indian commissioners toward contract
schools he will have the Washington dele

port his request. Senator PettigreW, who
does not want the Cheyennes removed 70

wants to got them ont of Montana, have,
had conferences and have decided that
they will c0rapsOmise, jofa forces and ~

gentlemen claim that the Indians will re-

The influence Of the western men and
especially the new state senators, has been
felt all winter, but the weight Of II was felt
more in the republican caucus, az the fight
they made has resulted in movement look

that the Lodge bill is to be taken up, COM

be amended, but it means that there will
be limit to debate and the promised long
winded speeches to kill time, credited to
the democrats will be cut of. The caucus
decided by vote Of thirty-one to Ave to
change the rules. The Lodge bill was
scarcely considered, the time being taken
up in discussing the rules.

BOULDER, July 12.-[Special. Maggie
Devere was to-day sentenced to 800 days in
the county Jail Ly Judge Galbraith for con-
tempt Of court in attempting to aid Thomas
King, under sentence of death, to commit
suicide with poison. In passing sentence
the court reminded the prisoner of the
clemency shown her only few days be-
fore the commission of the act of con-
tempt, when she was released from charge
Of aiding Josie Hopkins to escape, by an
order of the court. The present crime, he
said, was most fagrant and serious in
stance of contempt of court and the grand
jury should have found an indictment
against the defendant for attempt to COM
NIT murder in order that adequate punis h.
ment might be inflicted.

THE FIGURE &c."

The figure o in our dates will make long stay.
No man or woman now living will ever date .
document without using the figure o. It stands
In the third place in $780, where it will remain ten
years and then move up to second place in 1900,
where it will rest for one hundred years.
There is another 9'' which has also come to stay.
1t is unlike the figure in dates in the respect
that it has already moved up to first place. where
1t will permanently remain. 1t is called the "No.
Q" High Arm Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine
The mo. g. was endorsed for first place by the
experts Of Europe at the Paris Exposition Of 1885,
where, after severe contest with the leading ma
chimes of the world, it was awarded the only
Grand Prize given to family sewing machines, all
others on exhibit having received lower awards
of gold medals, etc. The French Government
also recognized its superiority By the decoration of
Mr.. Nathaniel Wheeler President of the company,
with the Cross of the Legion of Honor.
The "No. Q" is not an old machine improved
upon, but Is an entirely new machine, and the
Grand Prize at Paris was awarded it as the grand
est advance in sewing machine mechanism of the
age. Those who buy it can rest assured, there.
fore, Of having the very latest and best.

WHEN THE CROPS FAIL.

Senator Pierce Has a Little Scheme to
Help Settlers When They Are Short OF
Cash.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator
Pierce of North Dakota, offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
That whenever it shall appear by the
filing of such evidence in the Office of
any register or receiver as shall be pre-
scribed by the secretary of the interior
that a settler on public lands, by reason
of a failure of crops for which he is in
no wise responsible, is unable to make
the payment on his homestead or pre-
emption claim required by law, the com
missioner of the general land Office is
hereby authorized, and it shall be his
duty to extend the time for such pay
ment for one year from the date when
the said becomes due, apd the failure to
pay aforesaid shall not work forfeiture
of the said settlers land or in any way
prejudice his claim before the general
land Office, and no penalty shall be ex-
acted for such extension.

Facts Worth knowing.

In all diseases ofthe nasal mcuous mem.
brane the remedy used must be non-irritat-
ing. The medical profession has been
slow to learn this. Nothing satisfactory
can be accomplished with douches, snuffs,
powders or syringes because they are
all irritating, do not thoroughly reach
the affected surfaces and should be
abandoned as worse than failures. A
multitude of persons who had for years
borne all the worry and pain that ca.
tarrh can infict testify to radical cures
wrought by Ely's Cream Balm.

OWNERSHIP OF VALUABLE TIM
CER LANDS DECIDED.

N-,.,,-t Giving Important Grants to the
Wisconsin Central Overruled 49, Over
100, 900 Acres Thus Added to the Pub
lie Domain.
MADISON, Wis, Sept. 16.-Judge
EuHn, Of the United States court here,
handed down opinions written by JUS
tice Harlan, of the United States SUI
preme court, on several important cases,
all bearing on the same question, how
ever, which Judges Harlan and Bum,
sitting as United States circuit judges,
have argued here last June. They are
in the nature of a test, but indirectly
involve the ownership of 900 acres
of land, valued, with the pine timber
upon it, and that cut off, but which will
have to be paid for if one of the parties
loses, at about $2,000,000.
How the Question Arose.
twenty-five thousand acres lie within
the place" limits of the Wisconsin Gen.
trail and the indemnity of the so-called
Omaha grant. Some time ago the ques-
lion arose as to which company owned
them, and the secretary of the interior
held that the lands belonged to neither
company, but reverted to the govern
ment. They were accordingly thrown
open to pre-emption and settlement.
Many settlers took nominal possession of
them, though they have been unable to
obtain patents.
Disposed of the Land.
The Central company has all along
maintained that it owned the lands, and
it was accordingly disposed of, nearly
all of them to various parties. In order
to give a clear title to the purchasers it
brought test suits to GUST E. A. Berkin
D. j. Lentz and William o. Forsyth,
settlers, each of whom pre-enpted four
teen acres of the land last June. The
cases were tried, and in order to get
them before the court in the most adj
vantageous manner jury was empan-
eled, which returned verdict that the
lands properly belonged to the Central,
thus deciding against the pre-emptors.
This verdict Justice Harlan now over
rules, which is great
Victory for the Pre-Emptors.
When the jury in June gave its verdict
the settlers at once brought suit in
equity to determine their rights, and to
settle the question. The Central at that
time promptly demurred to the billing
in the case, but now Justice Harlan
overrules this demurrer, gives the rail-
way company forty days in which to
file an answer to the bill and issues an
injunction restraining the company from
further annoying the settlers with eject
ments. The case will undoubtedly be
appealed to the United States supreme
court. but the settlers are now decid-
edly ahead in the great legal battle.
