justification for the Post to libel
plaintiff, surprising it had done so.
MIR. GOdkin, the jury were requested to
remember, had certain letters before
him as we'll as an article published in
the Courier, signed by sixteen citizens,
and it must be considered whether he
had had sufficient to warrant him in
making the assertions in the Post which
he did. Further, whether the articles
were actuated by malict. and whether
they were intended to injure plaintiff.
II they were, the jury would be justified
In finding verdict for the plaintiff and
one that would be punishment and an
example. Attention was also called to
the fact that when a man comes out
with public charge he becomes to a
certain extent public character and
open to criticism. If liberties accorded
the press had been transcribed, the
plaintiff was entitled to damages. The
jury retired, but soon returned with
verdict, No cause of action," thus de-

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE news OF
the passing by one branch of the North
Dakota Legislature of bill chartering
and legaizing lottery in that state has
attracted much attention in Washing
ton official circles, in view, especially,
of Ielegraphic advices that this legis.
lative action is in behalf of branch Of
the Louisiana Lottery company, against
which the pOstoffice department and the
department of Justice has been waging
contest for many years. At the White
house it is intimated that reports
have reached the president that
persons who had been appointed
to Office or were candidates for appoint-
ment were promoting this legislation.
and it was added that should this prove
to he the case, it would likely prove
fafal to them. A further remark was
to the effect that it was mot believed to
be possible that the new state would
adOnted measure that would put so
indeiible stain upon its reputation"
Postmaster General Wanamaker said.
with reference to the subject: "AS

viewe,l upon the subject of legislation

cept to express my regret that the

to enact laws to suppress this iniquitOuS

islIed beyond measure" said Attorney
General Miller this afternoon. ITO hear
that any bill of that kind had gone
threugh one branch OF the North
Dakota legislature. / had hoped and
believed that the day for the ehartering
of new lotteries had gone by. | had
supposed that the only reason for the
existence of a lottery any where in the
United States was the fact that it had
become 10y sort of prescription so en-
trenched in some localities that it could
not i'r easily removed. That the Louis
lana state lottery for instance is great
public evil, think is generally con-
ceded. and as little expected the legis.
la'up of North Dakota to sanction a
lottery as that the legislature of Massa-
chusetts would legalize polygamy.n

but for what purpose could not
be told. The measure finally went
through with over two-thirds vote,
which insured the acceptance of the
emergency clause making the law Optr-
ative April l, thirty days before the
time required by the constitution for
laws to 20 into effect. While the prolii-
bitionists feel jubllant, they regre5 the
fact that the two most important clauses
of the bill have been stricken out. viz,
requiring physicians to state the nature
of the the complaint for which
liquor Is required in making out
prescriptions, and the other giving the
authorities the right to search private
dwellings for liquors. They claim that
these two features would have prac-
tically plugged every l00phole by which
the law could have been evatled, hut
still congratulate themselves that
it is the strongest one that
has ever been devised. The
house and senate will now have tn ap-
point conference committee to agree
on the date for the law to berome opera
tive, the senate date being May l. while
the house date is April l.. The belief is

on its date and the house will have to
give up. Practically no other business

BEGINNING OF THE END.

New YORK. Feb. 1.-THE Times says:
''The officers of the building and loan
associations OF this city and Brooklyn
believe the collapse of the American
Building and Loan association, whose
headquarters are In Minneapolis. is the
beginning of the end of all the national
building and loan associations through
out the United States. The AmtIsn
Building and Loan association was
started in the spring of 1888 and soon
encountered an unexpected tidal wave
of prosperity that put plenty of money
into the pockets of its managers. Last
June the president of the association, in
an address at the annual meeting. de-
clared that its growth was 'sJhe most re-
markable and stupendious in financial
history anywhere" The association in
ciuded one in Buffalo and one in rhis
city. Its workings were i'm many
respects directly opposite to those of
the local building aud loan associations,
and they soon began an active warfare
against it and all other national build
Ing and loan associations in general,
charging them with being huge swim
ding concerns" A dispatch from
Poughkeepsie, N. l., says: "a pr0mi-
nent citizen of this city SAID yesterday
that well-knOwn POughkeepsians h We.
in the aggregate, invested about $4,000
in the American Building and Loan As

Sioux and Chippewa reservations in
Dakota and Minnesota is the signature

affixed it is a mystery. He has been

promising the congressman from those
states that he would do it at once. His
inaction is just what may be expected
right along, and is consistent with the
course he has pursued since his in

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-S0me funny
points were brought out in the case of
Alfred j. Robinson VS.. William S. Ad-
dington before the Indian department.
The case was on appeal of the latter
from the decision of the commissioner

cancellation his homestead entry for
the south half of the southwest quarter
OF section % and west half of the north
west quarter of section %, township 3
north, range II east, DeadwOod land
district, 5. ID. AddingtOn entered the
land on Aug. 81. 1882, getting his final
certificate on Sept. Is. 1885. On Nov. 10,
1885, Robinson filed protest against is
suing of patent, alleging noh-cultiva-
ton and non-improvement. The entry
man, n his defense, alleged, mong
other things, that he had received ar
rerages OF pension amounting to 81, 100,
but that he had not applied any OF it to
the improvement of his land because he
had confidence that his property would
be destroyed. from the fact that his home
was twice set fire to by some un-
known persons; that the flowers his wife
planted around the house were de-
stroyed whenever they left home; that
some one was in the habit of poisoning
his cats and dogs and putting dead
chickens into his well. Il had pOlson,''
he continues. ''or something exactly
lide it that l skinned Off the top of the
water of my spring. l had my wife
poisoned till she had fits for pretty
nearly year." On cross-examination
the following questions and answers
we're noted: did you undertake to
raise anything OH the land at all?''
Eyes, SIR" "What?'' ''Some flowers"
"Where?' ''Around the house,"
"HOw many?" Il think there was
about four. one on each side of the door,
and one each side of the window; when
flowers and vines were about three feet
high my wife went to see another
neighb0r; the next day she noticed they
were withered-the flowers; OH examin-
ing them they were found to be cut off
right at the ground" Four flowers not
being considered sufficient cultivation
for homestead entry the entry was
held for cancellation.
