Bro. Tenney Of the Brunswick Telegraph
objects to being called the late venerable
Rev. A. e.. Tenney ID. d., as some Of the
papers have done in announcing his decesse.
lie says he is venerable enough, in looks at
least. and perhaps there are some who think
it, time he was out IF the way but the -
ID is too much for him. His only preach
ing has been done through the press and
he has never hobnobed with the men who
hold the power to grant such titles. SO he

SOMETHING FOR THE LITTLE
FOLKS.

Dgar Cousin Bsss.--I will try 10 tell
you about a land rioat, or floating island
that came down the Pennessewasse lake
yesterday. The wind blew almost q
gale here all day. and don't you think
that piece of land with small growth
and tall pine trees, came down the Lake
Just like raft. 1t came from way up
lake but just how far | do not know.
IL finally stopped on the opposite shore
from the main road which runs along By
the Lake and 1t looks just as though IL
had stood in that same place for years.
The trees aud bushes are a. straight and
erect as though rooted in ground a hun
bred feet deep My mamma says she
thinks il would not cost much TO dig a
we'll on that island for she says the earth
cannot be very deep have heard Of
floating islands but never thought
should see one. But have. and right
here in our own STATE and town too.
Oh have not told you the area Of this
wonderful piece of terra iirma. some
say il contains from half to an acre OF
land thought the cousins would like
to hear about il, and you too. {. ,.
NORWAY, MI, JUNE 10, 1890.
Your story OF the floating curiosity
is really quite interesting. | hope you
will write more about it. | shall want
to know whether it remains where ii has
anchored itself, or whether it continues
to move down the lake, with the motion
of the water. You are very Kind &c
write Inc about it. Yours sincerely.

An EpistIe from Louis Coot

Buffalo Bill and his Wild West show
captured London and the entire royal fam
lily, and now it is learned that an American
circus is catching on" in the SAM manner.
John B.. Jeffery received a letter a few days
ago from Louis Cook, manager of Barnum
d Bailey's show, now at the Olympia,
London. In the most rapturous style Mr..
Cook says, after eulogizipg the greatest
show on earth" You will more readily
understand the weight of this assertion
when tell you that oil England and the
European continent are fairly astounded
at the magnihcance and magnitude of the
great exhibition, and from the date of
our opening In London, Nov. II, up
TO the present tine the Olympia,
the largest building in the world,
has been packed twice daily, while upon
many occasions thousands have been
turned away. The grand spectacle of Nero,
or the Destruction Of Rome, has been the
piece de resistance, while the grandeur of
its production has not only amazed the
United Kingdom, but called forth the
highest praise and admiration of the most
experienced managers in all parts of the
world. Thus does Louis discourse for o
page or more, ringing In all be can about
gold and %tinsel," royalty and nobility"
Toasted and favored" and winds up by
saying he wants to get back to that land
where the proud bird of freedom screams
with joy and where London fogs never
come" The latter is thoroughly charac-
~teristic of Mr.. Cook.

A Political Coalition Aimed At,

Under authority given at the national
reform conference" last November a call
has been issued for a union organizing
convention Of reformers from all parties"
to be held in st. Louis Sept. 3. The pur-
pose stated in the call is to adopts national
platform and appoint a national executive
committee whose duty it shall lie to place
in the field in 1892 a reform party" in all
the states and territories. The idea is to
bring about, if possible, q pooling of issues
by ths prohibition, union labor, green
hackers, knights of Labor, farmers al
lance and industrial union organizations.
The committee suggests the placing of a
plank in the party platform favoring a
provision of law under which the people
may vote periodically upon doctrines and
policies without the Intervention of parties
or candidates, the result of these elections
to be considered as instructions to the leg
i~slative servants of the people.

. Profitable Profit SHAPING.

Rogers, Peet g. Co. took their $50 EN-.
ployes to the Peoples theater the other
night, and after the remainder of the au.
dience had departed one of the members of
the firm took the stage and announced that
the annual dividend to employees for last
year was 5 per cent. on their salaries. The
total sum thus distributed amounts to
$4,000. The profit sharing system was
inaugurated by the firm four years ago.
Under it q certain percentage of the profits
is set aside for the employees, and at the
end Of each year it is divided among them
in the shape of a dividend of q certain per
cent. on their salaries. Both members of
the firm said that they were heartily salts
fed with the way the system had worked.
Their business had been benefited by the
increased efficiency of the employees enough
to amply compensate them for the annual
dividend, while they were now able to take
their pick from the men seeking work in
every department of their business,

MONTANA TITLE TEARING,
Much Litigation Probable Over Dispute,
Titles.

Much Litigation robab Over Dfsputed
Titles.
Considerable of q sensation has been
created in Montana by the exposure of a
land scheme which threatens several prop.
erty holders in Helena, Great Falls and
Anaconda. At all of these places the title
to some valuable town property rests on
the original location Of homesteads filed
Oh by proxy under soldiers scrip or what
is known as additional homestead scrip.
These lands, comprising the Central Park
and Royce additions to Helena. were
located by attorneys in fact under this sort
of scrip years ago. Last year the courts
Of Kansas, California aud Arkansas held
such locations invalid and the sec.
retaries Of the interior have alter.
nately upheld and cancelled such en-
tries for several years. These facts were
taken advantage of by one r. G. Davies,
an obscure lawyer of Helena, who went
east recently, sought out the men whose
scrip had been used for these locations
and got deeds from them to the lands
named. The property is worth millions.
Davies now threatens the owners with law
suits unless they pay him what he demands
for quitclaim deeds to the property. Peo-
pie are very indignant over the matter,
but Davies claims to have the law on his
side, and has already received money from
several whose titles are menaced. Davies
came from Arkansas a year ago with the
attorney generals endorsement for chief
justice of Montana. but Cleveland did not
appoint him. He then settled down to
law practice in Helena. His scheme prom.
ses to bring about a good deal of costly
litigation,

was sent to the seminary and it was de-
clded to close the institution temporarily.

LAND RULINGS.

Some Reversals of Findings by the Sparks
Regime.
George Chandler, assistant secretary of
the interior department, has given a ruling
that n homesteader who has pre-empted a
smaller number of acres than he is allowed
under the law, may make a second entry to
complete the homestead of land adjoining
before he has acquired full title to the first
tract. The case comes from the land
office at Vancouver, Wash. The land COM
missioner under the last administration
Cancelled the adjoining farm homestead en-
try OF j. R. Cannon because he had one
homestead entry to land adjoining. He
says it Was the evident intention. of con.
gress that the Ownership" does not neces.
sarily await the complete investment of
title.
MIR. Chandler has also reversed a decision
OF Commissioner Sparks, giving a forty
acre tract of land in the Yankton land dis
trict to Albert H. Hazen. Mr.. Chandler
says that the showing of facts is such as to
entltle Hazen to the land under the terms
of the law.

Reciprocity in Quarantine,

Secretary Rusk was interviewed in rela.
ton to the recent quarantine restrictions
placed by the Mexican government upon
hoes shlpped from this country. lie said
the trade was n large and increasing one
and the inspection fees would practically
destroy it if they were continued, He
laid the matter before the state depart
ment. When asked if he intended retail
latlng by placing restrictions on the Mex
lean cattle trade the secretary was non
comm'ttal, but stated that the department
had frequently been urged to. place a
three months quarantine on all cattle
imported from Mexico in order to avoid
the introduction of disease. He thought
a regulation of this character justifable
on sanitary grounds.

THE OKLAHOMA FRAUDS
THEY APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN NJ.
NERVOUS AND GLARNG.

FavOritism Was the Ruling Force-An
Official Inquiry that May Be Far-Reach-
ing In Results-News of Other Sort from
Various Points.
Cornelius Mcbride, the special inspector
who was sent to Oklahoma by Secretary
Noble, talked freely regarding his investi-
cations. He said when he first entered the
territory, and before the opening procla-
nation took effect, he was surprised to
find the indicated troubles between the
various bands of settlers and boomers I'M.
warranted. He had not been there long
before he discovered it was not bloodshed
but rascallty the department had to fear.
He further said: "Secretary Noble tele-
graphed me to look after the score of
deputy United States marshals who had
gone into the territory. I telegraphed Mr..
Noble that it was not the
deputy marshals who we're to
blame, but higher officials. I found
that John I. Ollie, land register, and G. NJ.
Barnes, receiver, had connived to allow
their friends and relatives to come into the
territory before they had any right to, and
| enter the choicest land. Gen. w. H. Clay.
ton, q fellow townsman of Barnes, went to
Guthrie the Saturday before the opening,
and Sunday surveyed the section of land
laid out for the town site of Guthrie and
made the plat. Mark S. COIN was selected
to enter the plat. he, too, was in the ter
ritory before he had any right. John E.
Ollie, brother of the land register, was also
on the ground, and by the grace of his
brother Ollie and COIN were selected to
make the first entries. Three friends of
Ollie and Barnes were selected aud ap-
pointed deputy marshals to guard the door
of the land Office on the morning of the
opening. D. P. Dyer, of Kansas City, ex-
pected to be the first man to make an en-
try, and in reality would have been we're
it not for the preconcerted plan. When
the door was opensd at noon the three
deputies mentioned above showed Dyer aside
and permitted Ollie and COIN 10 60 in.
When they had finished entering they had
fled claims for every section Of land which
touched the section set apart for Guthrie,
excepting the one which was held by a
lawyer named Walton, a brother to Sena-
ter Walton, OF Colorado. This filing also
included the Clayton's plat of Guthrie"
Mcbride says he recommended the re-
moval from Office of Register Ollie, Re-
ceiver Barnes and Marshal Jones, of Kan
sas. Jones is the only man who has been
removed up to the present time. Mcbride
further said before the opening Clayton
came to him and told him unless the town
site plat made by him (Clayton) was al
lowed to be entered blood would flow in
the streets of Guthrie. The action Of
United States Marshal Needles, says Nc
Bride, were those of an honest man. There
were man hundred blank appointments
of deputy marshals printed and many of
these were filed out and Needles name
forged to them.

A Renewed Sensation from Vienna,

A very sensational and improbable YER
sion OF the Meyerling tragedy has just been
published in the Vienna papers. 1t is that
Archduke Rudolf and the young Baroness
Vetsera were brother and sister. Til
rumcx rests on the report that Emperor
Francis Josef, years ago, made love to
BARONESS Vetsera and the heroine of the
Meyerling tragedy was born to them; and
when the facts were told to Archduke Ru-
dolf, he was SO affected by the revelation
OF the horrible secret that he suicided.
The only basis for the story seems to be
the report that when the news of his sons
death first reached the emperor he OK
claimed: My son, my daughter" The
story has recalled and renewed much
