Her Millions Won by n Briton.

81. LOUIS, Aug. 3O.-Mrs. Grace January,
widow of the late Jesse January, of this
city, and q daughtero Of the late Jules Vale,
is engaged to and will soon marry Mr..
Frewen, brother of Morton Frewen, of En-
gland, who married Miss Jerome. The
Frewen family is a distinguished one in
England, and the announcement has Gre
ated much interest in English circles. When
girl she was noted for her beauty, which
is of the brunette type. She ranks second
only to one woman in wealth in St. Louis,
her riches amounting to nearly five MILL
ions. the greater bulk of it having been ac-
cumulated in a chance investment in the
granite mountains. Few women have had
as many offers of marriage as has Mrs. Jan
ary. One well-known man in this city is
said to have partly lost his mind on her ac-
count, and his hapless infatuation of her
caused great sensation.

Allowances for Land Surveys.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-The land office
has practically settled upon the allowance
for surveys of public lands to be made in
the new states. The whole amount appro-
priated for this was S425,OOO. OF this Wash
ington gets 100000. Montana comes next
with $4,000. Each of the Dakotas gets
$4,000 and Idaho and Wyoming $4,000
each. In addition to the above amount the
surveyor-ge general in South Dakota will have
charge of the surveying in the Sioux reser-
walton, for which there is an especial appro-
priation of 100000. With the amounts to
be thus expended in South Dakota, WASH
ington and Montana the department believes
that the appropriation of 100000 for eX-
aminers of surveys will not be enough to
keep up with the field work. 49,.
