AS to Holding Back Lands.
A case of considerable interest to
homesteaders and to lawyers as well
was on trial before Register Royce and
Receiver Meads in the local land Office
yesterday. 1t involves questions as to
the exact date when the act of congress
forfeiting the Ontonagon g. Brule River
rsilroad grant went into effect and
whether the register and receiver Of the
local land office erred in not receiving
applications for entry previous to May
/, 1890.
The act forfeiting the grant was sign
ed by President Cleveland on March 2,
1889. It appears from the evidence
that on March 9th George Gamble came
| into the land Office and rendered filing
and fees for tract in the primary Limits
of the Ontonagon & Brule River grant.
This fling was rejected, apparently
because the then register and receiver
| had no official information that the
/ forfeiture act had been passed. Or
n March 18th the commissioner of the
general land Office sent letter to th'
local register and receiver, notifying
them of the passage Of the act ant
directing them to advertise for at leas
| 80 days the opening Of the lands t.
settlement. On March 7th Edwin
Powell appears to have made some
settlement on the tract. Afterwar'
| Gamble also made settlement and tn
| question now comes up in q contest be
tween the two. Messrs. Mapes ant
Maynard appear for Gamble and Messrs
Cochran and Byrne for Powell.
In his argument before the registe
end receiver yesterday Mr.. Mapes con
tended that the forfeiture act went int
! effect from the moment of its signatur
by President Cleveland; that the regis
\ and receiver erred in not receiyin
CANDLES filing as no officer had powe
TO suspend the operation of a statute
that having made application to file i
due form and such application havin
been enormously rejected, Gamble re
tanned all his rights in the premises
that the refusal OF the register and re
j ceiver to take filings before May 1st wa
an illegal suspension Of the statute an
made favored class of those who coul
make immediate settlement as agains
those who could not. The hearing O
the case will continue to-day when th
other side will get its innings. --Minin

RECORDS BROKEN.
AXtell's Great Time Beaten By
a Maine Stallion.
Ten Thousand HOOsiers Wild
With Delight.
Mary AndersOn's Insane Lover
a Murderer.

TERRE HAUTE, Oct. 9.-'The three
fastest harness records in the world is
the mark hung up today on the Terre
Haute track. The fastest stallion record,
9Th. the fastest mile ever paced or trot-
ted in a race, 2:O93, and three fastest
heats in race. 2:O99, 2:l2i and 2:I3.
1t was a perfect autumn day with a
gentle breeze blowing and the track was
very fast. The attendance was over ten
thousand. The great attraction was the
announcement that Nelson would go to
beat Axtell's time, 2:l2, made over this
track last fall. After a warming up heat
the great Maine stallion started to beat
the record. The first quarter was made
IN 80 seconds. the half in I:O4i. three
quarters in 1864. Cheer after cheer
vent Up as Nelson flashed under the wire
in 2:lli.
In the free for all pacing race, the first
heat. B B had the pole, Hal Pointer sec
ond, followed by Adonis, Pickaway and
DR.. NJ. Geers, driving Hal Pointer, did
not pursue his usual tactics, but scored
his horse up strong in the determination
70 win the heat. From wire TO wire
Broncho and Pointer had it see-sawlng all
the way. AT no time did the distance OF
a neck separate them. Never in the his
tory of harness contests did two such ami
mails fight it out. Not a move of one but
was checked by the other. The geldings
went locked under the wire, Pointer hay-
ing 1t by a throat latch.
There was no need to hang ont the
time to enthuse the. crowd. 1t was
wild in realization that the fastest race
mile in harness had been made. The time
BY quarters was BIT, l:O43, 1861, 2:O9f.
The second heat was a repetition of the
first with the exception that at the half
Adonis broke aud was distauced. The
third heat was wal again and with the
time OF 2:l3 rounded out the three fastest
heats ever gone in harness. Forty thous-
and dollars in pools were sold in this race.
Hal Pointer won. B. b. second, Pick
away third, DIR. NJ. fourth. Time, 2:09l;

Still another torpedo, this one the in
vention of an Austrian count, Buona-
corsi by name, has made its appearance
in the European naval and military
world. According to official and private
reports of the trials of this instrument
they were eminently successful, giving
results superior even to those obtained
from the Whitehead. The motive power
is compressed air, acting directly from a
reservoir upon the propeller without any
assistance or intervention from machin-
cry. The propulsion is effected by twin
screws working inversely and giving a
velocity greater and more continuous, it
is contended, than any obtained in other
torpedoes. One remarkable feature of
this invention is the faculty of auto
matte guidance, which enables it to
avoid protective nets and shields, and to
dive any distance before rising to give
its blow.-Exchange.

New YORK, Oct. 9-Speaking OF the
cdict against women being vaccinated on
the leg, issued by Health Commissioner
Wiekersham, of Chicago, DR.. Edison
said today that the vaccination bureau OF
this city did not do much business In that
style. New York womcn who don't
want their arms disfgured usually go to a
private physician, Scarcely one woman
in a year comes to the board and asks to
be vaccinated on the leg. About eight
years ago, however, a smallpox panic
broke out among the actresses, and many
of them, not being able to pay the IS
usually charged by practicing physicians,
applied to the health department. One
and all had objection for practical, pro-
fessional, as well as aesthetic reasons to
have their arms marked up and they were
yaccinated on their legs. The calf of the
leg was chosen for the insertion of the
vaccine. The patients were in walking
dress, and the proceedings disturbed the
peace of mind of the young doctors who
did the tattooibg. One actress complained
to DR.. Edison hat she had not been
vaccinated properly because the ply
sicians hand trembled.

DUBLIN, Oct. 9.-The hearing against
the police for assaults upon a number of
persons at the court house in Tipperary
on the occasion of the opening of the trial
of Dillon and O'Bren was commenced at
that placs today. Timothy Healy opened
the case Tor Harrison, the member OF the
house Of commons who was severely in
iured. Healy declared that on the occa-
sion in question for every adult in the
crowd outside of the court house there
were four policemen. He told Of the as
sault on Harrison. The latter then took
the stand and testified there were
fewer than fifty civilians outside
the court house, while there was a large
force OF policemen on each side of the
gates. The policemen used great and I'M
necessary violence. Col. Caddell address
ed the police, saying something to the
effect that they should not make a dis
turbance. This command not being obey
ed, witness asked the policemen why they
disobeyed orders. Then an assault was
made upon him, During the disturbance
he saw a constable strike and fell
O'Heehy. The civilians threw no stones
and struck no blows except in parryiug
blows from the policemen's batons.

One night l visited the Metropolitan
Museum of Art for the purpose of exam
lining some of the antiques exhibited
there, and | took a look at the mummied
cats, in which my little son, who was
with me, is especially interested. Very
solemn and CHASTITY are the swathed and
silent tabbies, who perhaps gamboled
around the feet of Moses and of Pha-
raoh's daughter, and it struck me in
looking at them that the Egyptians of
5000 years ago were a little ahead of the
New York of today in their devotion to
birds and quadrupeds.
Something of tins v~eneration for the
brute creation has been transmitted TO
the Mohammedan Of the east, who per-
mits neither cats nor dogs to be slain,
but provides meals and quarters for
them. A learned pundit of that persua-
sion once expressed to the late s. S. Cox,
when minister to Turkey. his surprise
that n Society for the Prevention of Cru
city to Animals should be needed in a
Christian country. Our brilliant Sun
set was not usually at a loss for words
either to conceal or express an idea, but
on this occasion he confessed that he
was routed by the unspeakable Turk,
and had to take refuge in the assertion
that this was the work of the Blavatsky
sect of Buddhists. 1t is Just possible
that the gentle Turk believed him, but
Mr.. Cox was always of the opinion that
he did not.-New York Letter.

II Mems Muscles Were Like June Bugs.
A gentleman residing on the west side
noticed a very large June bug flying
around his piazza and proceeded to cap
ture it. He placed the captive under a
heavy glass tumbler which rested on a
newspaper. expecting to examine the in
sect a little later in the evening when he
had leisure.
On returning TO the table where he had
placed the bug, some half hour later. he
found that it had moved the tumbler
nearly a foot by placing its head against
the side of the glass and pushing it along.
In order to'be certain that the glass had
been moved by the captive, he carefully
marked its position on the newspaper
with a pencil, and at the expiration of
another quarter of an hour found it had
been moved nearly five inches. As the
tumbler weighed at least fifty times as
much as the bug, the ease with which it
was moved around on the paper was a
source of considerable establishment.
The June bug was less than an inch in
length, and was restored to liberty in
view of the exhibition it had given Of its
strength.
The story is vouched for by several
witnesses, who were called in to see the
insect as it vas pushing the glass along.

The Rosetta Stone" a famous Egyp-
tan curiosity now in the British Muse
UNI, was discovered in the year 1899 by
NJ. Boussard, a French explorer, near
Rosetta, a seaport of lower Egypt. It is
of black basalt, about forty inches long
and thirty inches wide, with three en-
graved inscriptions upon its surface.
The first of these is in Greek, the second
a conglomeration of hieroglyphics, the
third in enchorial writing, a system used
by the Egyptians in recording every day
matters. After years of laborious re-
search the savants of Europe ascertain
ed that the three inscriptions were three
versions of a decree in honor of Ptolemy
Epiphones by the priests of Egypt, be-
cause he had RENTED their taxes. This
wonderful relic dates about two cent
uries before the beginning of the Chris
nan era.-St. Louis Republic.

Not the least among the various Of
lenses that meet the ye, and seldom
with any palliating incidents, are the
signs of all kinds that disfigure most of
the buildings in the business districts.
A plain signboard, giving the name of
the company or individual proprietor
and the nature of the business, is unob-
~jectionable, however large, if set up
against the wall, over the entrance or at
the Threshold. The largest concerns in
the city have, however, abandoned even
these, and are content to use a small
metal plate for their names.
But the popular idea in signs seems to
run to as great a display as possible, and
in its indulgence taste and safety are
sacrificed. What can be more hideous
than those great aerial wire structures
that project from the tops of buildings
or are hung acros the streets? They are
dangerous, too, as experience has shown.
Then there are those dazzling monstrosi-
ties which, in colored glass, cali tho at
tention of the passerby to the game of
billiards and other pastimes. Some of
the p~orticos which project over the
whole sidewalk are utilized for similar
purposes,
Exaggerated hats, bonnets, clocks,
mortars, saws and other symbols of the
merchandise for sale within the stores
faunt before the gaze at every turn.
Most of these are illegal, as the law al
lows but three feet nearest the building
for the display of signs and merchandise,
and this is availed in many trades for
the profit it will bring, not only to them
selves, but in some cases by compensa-
ton from fruit vendors or other small
trades not connected with the regular
occupations America.

Some men are born for trousers, 9TH
els achieve troussrs and others have
trousers thrust upon them. Who that
ever saw President Arthur can forget
the beautiful folds of his trousers:
Neither large nor small, with no bag
ging Mt the knee. but falling gracefully
upon his shoe they were indeed beautiful
to behold. Such trousers were not sim
ply due to the t~ailor's art. They showed
his natural affinity for trousers, and
while the experiment might have been
attended with danger. there is, neverthe-
less. II strong probability that Mr. Ar
thur would have made a pair of Bowery
"hand-me-downs" look quite respectable.
OF all the presidents of modern times he
was the best clothed as to his neither
garments.
His great predecessor, Gen. Garfield.
achieved trousers. His tailor was good,
the cloth was in good taste, but the
wearer gave little attention to the mat
ter. and even appeared in public once in
trousers frayed at the heel. Hayes
trousers were barely respectable, while
Gen. Grant was utterly Indifferent to
his. Trousers were thrust upon him.
He really had no taste for them.
President Harrison's trousers are re-
spectacle and good always, but they are
full of wrinkles and of so conservative
a color as to be nonentities in the trouser
world, and President Cleveland's legs
were incased in b~roadcloth of a stiffness
and newness of appearance hat showed
a woeful su~bordination of the wearer to
the tender mercies of the tailor. This
is Il fatal mistake. A mans trousers
should show the combined thought of
the wearer and the tailor. Neither can
accomplish them successfully alone

first symptom is hoarseness; then the child
appears to have taken cold or a cold NAV
have accompanied the hoarseness from the
start. Alter that a peculiar rough cough
is developed, which is followed by the
Group. The time to act is when the child
first becomes hoarse; a few doses of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will pre-
vent the attack. Even after the rough
cough has appeared, the disease may be
nrevented by using the remedy as directed.

Accident in making what afterward
turn Quito be good investments is always
a favorite theme for discussion. An in
stance was cited where a young man
went to Tacoma on a flying visit in the
early days of the place, when the prin-
cipal part of the town was its name.
He was there only a few hours, but in
that time was induced to buy several
lots for almost nothing. Those lots
made a fortune for him so suddenly that
he could hardly realize that it could be
possible.
Mark Sheldon, the wealthy real estate
owner of San Francisco, made his fort
II out of a bad dent. He had grown
rich and poor in several ventures, and
when hard pressed once tried to collect
all the money that was due him. One
debtor was unable to give him a cent,
but compromised his debt by handing
over to Mr.. Sheldon some sand lots in
what is now Market street, San Fran
cisco.
Sand lots were not very valuable in
those days, and Mr.. Sheldon found no
opportunity to dispose of his until he
saw that he might make a pretty sum of
them. So he held on to them, and there
is no more valuable real estate in the
