ToPEKA, Kan, Dec. s.--The supreme
court Saturday morning refused 20 grant
the writ OF mandamus applied for by G.
+. Lobdeli. who demanded a certificate
Of election for representation from Lane
county. Lobdell based his claims on a
provision OF the state constitution which
gives each organized county In the state
casting ESQ votes a representative In the
legislature The case was one Of great
Importance, for II Lobdell had been adj
mitted seventeen other republicans
elected as delegates would have been en-
titled to the same privilege. Most Of
them were Ingalls, men and they would
give Ingalls, majority OF two on joint
ballot The supreme court held that Ia

tuition In Brown county, seems to have
been the signal for cry OF destltutlon
from other localities. Everybody knows
that South Dakota, as whole, was not
blessed with full crop last harvest. Ia
many localities notably In the Big Sioux
valley, the crop was very abundant.
In other localities not quite SO much was
harvested, while few sections garnered
bat very small quantity. Yet the cry
OF destitntion Is again sent out from
nearly every part OF the state and ap-
peals made 10 eastern cities for assist
ance. From what can be- heard Ii IN
quite evident that some OF the appeals
are from self-constitnted committees
aud without the sanction Of county
boards. Ii is also evident that In counties
where aid Is really needed the county
commissioners have taken the matter la
hand and are preparing To furnish all
the relief necessary. Arrangements have
been made with the railroad companies
by which coal may be had at reduced
rates, and should feed for stock be re-
qulred 1t will be provided. Each county
appears 70 be entirely able to provide
for the destitute within its borders.

MASON Cry, Dec. s.--Two weeks ago
G.. III. Patrick, OF Grundy Center, died,
and the circumstances surrounding indi-
Gated that all was not right and d coro-
ner's jury was empanelled 10 investigate
the affair. An autopsy being held local
physicians found evidence that arsenic
poison had been taken into the stomach,
producing death. The contents of the
stomach were sent into Chicago for eX-
pert examination, and although there Is
yet nothing authentic, Ii is understood
that the expert test reveals facts similar
10 the finding OF the local physicians.
Sensational developments will follow.

evening by young lady who registered
as Miss Mervin, OF Chicago. She had Il
tale OF woe 20 unfold, and unfoIded It,
She was handsome young woman of
about 25, stylIshly dressed, and told the
captain that she was on her way from
her home in Chicago 10 Butte, Mont,
where she had situation awaiting her
She was not averse 10 little flIrtation,

between here and Omaha she made the

was reached had gotten Into her good

Office, to tho effect that the state can
not select lands outside of the land dis
tricts ia which school lands were entered
by settlers previous TO survey, IN lieu
OF such settled lands, II not oYerruled by
the secretary Of the interior, will result
in the loss of 10000 acres OF school lands
10 the state. Hon. @. H. Parker, com
missioner Of school and put-iic lands for
South Dakota, has taken great pains tO
select what are known as indemnity
lands, and has located thirty sections,
equal 10 about 90, 900 acres, all east of
the Missouri river. There yet remains
some 1000 acres 20 select 10000 acres
OF which will be secured In the Black
Hllls country. The lands chosen are es-
pecially adapted 10 agriculture and
were not decided upon until per-
sonally visited and examined
by Mr.. Parker. They are mostly
IN Mcpherson, Hyde, Campbell, Wal
worth, Hughes, Hurd, Brulo and Buff

can be had, but there Is plenty or vacant
land In the other districts. Fortunately
