Introduced - One Representative to
Each $50, 900 People Provided FORA
Gain of Twenty-four Members 49, Pro-
eeedings of the Two Houses.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-An appor.
tionment bill on the basis of one repre-
sentative for each 1S0, 900 of population
was introduced in the house by Repre-
sentative Dunnell, of Minnesota, chair
man of the committee on the eleventh
census. The total representation pro-
vided for is 354, an increase of 25 over
tae membership of the present house.
The states that would gain one member

bama, California, Colorado. Michigan,
Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon, Texas,
Washington, and Wisconsin; two mem
bers: Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas and
Pennsylvania; three members: Mime
sofa and Nebraska. The apportionment
provides for one less representative for
Ohio and Virginia.
The political gain shows that the Re-
publican states get fifteen and the DEM
ocratic states seven of the increase.
An Anti-Gerrymanderin Provision.
The bill also contains provision of
the McComas anti-gerrymanderin bill,
which provides that each state must re-
district into congressional districts at
the legislative session next following the
passage of the apportionment bill and
that the apportionment then made shall
not be changed until after the next CEN
sus and congressional apportionment.
Mr.. Dunnel says no attempt will be
made to push the bill through at this

consider it and possibly report it back
to the house this session in time for
early action next winter.

THE LOTTERY BILL.

Provisions of the Measure That Only
Awaits tho Presidents Signature to Be-
como Operative.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE anti-lot-
terry bill having now passed both houses,
it only awaits the presidents signature
to become law, and there is not likely
to be any unnecessary delay on that ac-
count. The bill gives great power to
the postmaster general, and after it be-
comes a law it will be very dangerous
for any person to NEEDLE with lottery
tickets.
1t forbids the carrying in the mails or
delivery at or through any postoffice, or
by any mail carrier, of any letter, post
al card or circular concerning any lot
tory, or any list of drawings of the
same, or any lottery ticket or part
thereof, or any check, draft, bill,
money, postal note CT money order for
tie purchase Of any ticket.
1t forbids carrying any newspaper,
circular, pamphlet or publication Of any
kind containing any advertisement of
a:y lottery, or containing any list Of
prizes of any such lottery.
1t forbids any person from depositing
or causing to be deposited, or knowing
ly sending or causing to be sent any
such matter by mail.
1t provides that proceedings for Xiola-
tion of this law may be instituted either
in the district at which the mailing was
done or at the place to which it is car
ried by mail for delivery, or at any
place where it is delivered to the ad-
dressed. 1t provides for preventing the
delivery of mail containing registered
funds or money orders addressed to lot
terry companies or their agents.

Facts Worth Knowing.

In all diseases ofthe nasal mcuous men,
brane theremedy used must be non-irritat-
ing. The medical profession has been
slow to learn this. Nothing satisfactory
can be accomplished with douches, snuffs,
powders or syringes because they are
all irritating, do not Thoroughly reach
the affected surfaces and should be
abandoned as worse than failures. A
multitude of persons who had for years
borne all the worry and pain that ca
tarrh can inflict testify to radical cures
wrought by Ely's Cream Balm.

SETTLERS WIN THE SUIT.
OWNERSHIP OF VALUABLE TIM
Der LANDS DECIDED.

Verdict Giving Important Grants to the
Wis, onsin Central Overruled - Over
100, 600 Acres Thus Added to the Pub
lie Domain.
MADISON, Wis, Sept. 16.-Judge
Bum, of the United States court here,
handed down opinions written by JUS
tice Harlan, of the United States SUI
preme court, on several important cases,
all bearing on the same question, how
ever, which Judges Harlan and Bum,
sitting as United States circuit judges,
have argued here last June. They are
in tie nature of test, but indirectly
involve the ownership of 100000 acres
of land, valued, with the pine timber
upon it, and that cut off, but which will
have to be paid for if enc of the parties
loses, at about s., GOO 600. d.
How the Question Arose.
Twenty-Five thousand acres lie within
the @place" limits Of the Wisconsin Gen.
trail and the indemnity of the so-called
Omaha grant. Some time ago the ques-
lion arose as to which company owned
them, and the secretary of the interior
held that the lands belonged to neither
company, but reverted to the govern
ment. They were accordingly thrown
open to pre-emptici and settlement.
Many settlers took nominal possession of
them, though they have been unable to
obtain patents.
Disposed of the Land.
The Central company has all along
maintained that it owned the lands, and
it was accordingly disposed of, nearly
all of them to various parties. In order
to give clear title to the purchasers it
brought test suits to GUST E. A. Berkin
D. J. Lentz and William o. Forsyth,
settlers, each of whom pre-empted four
teen acres of the land last June. The
cases were tried, aud in order to get
them before the court in the most adj
vantageous manner ! jury was elnpan-
eled, which returned verdict that the
lands properly belonged to the Central,
thus deciding against the pre-emptors.
This verdict Justice Harlan now over
rules, which is a great
Victory for the Pre-EmptOrs.
When the jury in June gave its verdict
the settlers at once brought suit III
equity to determine their rights, and to
settle the question. The Central at that
time promptly demurred to the billing
in the case, but now Justice Harlan
Overrules this demurrer, gives the rail-
way company forty days in which to
file an answer to the bill and issues an
injunction restraining the company from
further annoying the settlers with eject
ments. The case will undoubtedly be
appealed to the United States supreme
court. but the settlers are now decid-
eddy ahead in the great legal battle.

RECIPROCITY is SAFE.

A Canvass of the House Shows All over-
whelming Majority in Favor of the
Amendment.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15.-The Press
publishes interviews with 139 members
of the house on the subject Of recip-
rocity. The result shows reciprocity
amendment to the tariff bill would pass
the house to-day by an overwhelming
majority.
In reviewing the forecast The Press
says: The amendment already passed
by the senate has many supporters in
the house and only q very small minor
ity openly oppose it. A few are unde-
cided. The Democrats, who almost
unitedly praised Blaine's reciprocity
plan when they believed it would
create wide breach in the Republican
party, mostly still favor it for the sake
of consistency.
Their Guns Are Spiked.
The situation is a remarkably trying
one for them. Speaker Reed and Chair
man Mckinley, and Mr.. Bayne, of the
ways and means committee, who will
represent the house in the conference
committee, naturally do not wish to go
on record in the press before hand. 1t
is an open secret in Washington, howa
ever, that all of them are opposed to the
reciprocity amendment. They rejected
1t five months ago when Secretary
Blaine first urged its Incorporation in
the ia riff bill, and they still speak
lightly of it,
But of the 1O1 other Republicans IN,
terviewed only 8 avowed themselves
antagonistic to reciprocity; SO Demo
Gratis favor it while chlyf oppose It, 5
of whom voiced their convictions in OPP
position to any movement in that direc-
ton short of universal reciprocity or
absolute free trade. The multiplicity
of plans proposed for the Inauguration
of reciprocal relations with American
nations, and the lack of time and oppor;,
tunity to digest the propositions con-
tanned in them leds twelve Republicans
out of the total number to express
doubts, in general way as to the prac-
ticabiiity of the measure. These Re-
publicans with three Democrats are
open to conviction, their doubts being
largely the result of lack Of opportunity
to acquire information or founded upon
the unpleasant experiences in the past
with one-sided Canadian reciprocal al
hances.

Rev. Mr.. white.

The Enterprise after printing our
remarks Of last week in regard to the
Reverend gentleman, says: Rev. Mr..
White was the pastor Of the Presby-
terrain Church in this city for several
months. He had performed good
Christian duty as a missionary among
the depraved classes of Chicago before
he came here. While here his work
was not appreciated. While the
sincerity OF his nature was not doubted
he was judged a Eighty man. The
world didn't seem to suit him. He
wanted to accomplish great reforms,
and was impatient and irritated at the
poor progress he made. In parts OF
his sermon he rose to great eloquence,
and in the bulk he plodded through.
In business avocations one would say
he needed a guardian. In his chosen
field he needs the strengthening and
inspiring support of warm sympathy.
Without ii he is like an oaken timber
adrift upon the ocean wave. With it,
he is like a corner stone to a magni6-
cent ediice.

The Escaped Prisoners.

The two escaped prisoners, Lewis and
Richards, were tracked up the Clear
Creek road, and Thursday morning,
says the Carson Tribune, Richards the
man in for burglary, was started from
the brush about 8 o'clock. From that
hour until half-past one he kept the
Indian pursuers and the white posse at
their wits end endeavoring to effect
his capture, n shot being fired at
him by an Indian. At that hour he
walked up and surrendered himself to
Commissary Kelly, and lodged in his
old quarters last night.
According to Richards statement
he aud Lewis were just awakening
from a sleep near Summit camp, when
they observed the Indians coming.
Lewis said: "My God, we are dis
covered; let's surrender" Richards
replied; "Nol | am only in for
eight years and you in for life. You
lay still, and I'll run and keep them
interested, and when the opportunity
offers you get up and make for another
quarter"
The plan no doubt worked we'll, for
Lewis had not been apprehended.
We have since learned that Lewis
was captured in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains.
