Easily Opened a Burglar Proof Safe

Easily opened q Burglar Proof SAFE.
Mind reader Johnstone's feat of opening
q Chicago hotel safe was outdone in Sioux
Falls, s. D., by a 16-year-old boy, Ed. M.
Sanders. The county officials have Just
taken possession of the new court house,
and young Sanders has been at work in
the building as a plumbers assistant.
County Treasurer Swenson, Chairman
Mckee, and a number of other county Off
Gals were in the treasurer's room, and
we're congratulating themselves that the
county now had a burglar proof vault
which would defy all attempts to open it.
Young Sanders happened a long and made
the remark that he could open the safe
himself. Chairman Mckee smiled at the
young mans bluff and offered to make him
q present of IS if he would open the safe.
The young man replied that he was too
busy at that time to undertake the job.
MI. Mckee offered to increase the amount
to'$10, %whereupon the young man accept
ed.
The young man then left the room, and
County Treasurer Swenson proceeded to
close the vault doors and to securely lock
them. The youthful imitator of tombstone
was brought in and set about his task.
He asked all present to keep very quiet,
and, placing his ear against the door of
the safe, commenced operations. His SEN
sitive ear caught every fall of the tumblers,
and in less than five minutes the young
man, with a smile on his face, threw open
the door. The $40 was handed him, and
the county commissioners will insist upon
the safe company taking out the vault, as
the company had guaranteed the vault to
be perfectly burglar proof.-Cor. Chicago
Herald.

SECURE A HOME IN TEXAS.

| n nun 1EAASs
i W. L. McGaughey, commissioner
of the land Office replying to letter
from the Fl. Worth Gazette says
that the school lands have beer
classified and are for sale, the price
| for agricultural and grazing lands
being 50, though some one on &C
count of location and advantage are
classed higher. Watered lands SO
and upwards according to location.
An actual settler may purchase
$40 acres of agricultural land and in
addition thereto he may purchase
three additional dry grazing sections
or he may purchase four grazing
sections to begin with, by making
his home on one of them.
Purchasers are required to pay
40 of the purchase money cash and
an annual interest on the unpaid
principal at 5 per cent per annum.
They can also pay lao at the prin-
cipal each year if they desire, OF
they can defer payment on principal
as long as they see fit, provided it is
paid before contract expires.
Purchasers occupying and making
their homes on school lands, pur-
chased from the state by them, for
three consecutive years, have a right
to pay the whole amount and obtain
patent.
School lands which are detached
and isolated, situated in countries
organized prior to 1875, except
Pecos, Ell Paso and Preside, may
be placed on the market and sold
not requiring settlement, and in
such cases purchasers may pay the
whole amount due at any time and
get patent.
Lands placed on the market as
grazing lands, and afterwards
leased, are not subject to the sale
during the term of the lease, with
out the consent of lessee.
Lands classified as agricultural
and leased are not subject to sale
during the term of the lease, with
out consent of the lessee, provided
the lessee has 800 worth of I'M
provements on the section, other
wise it can be sold at any time tol
actual settlers. I deem this a great
drawback to the settlement of the
West. We hope the Twenty second
legislature will remove this clog.
The annual interest upon prchas-
IS must be paid into the state treas
Try by the first day of August each
year Purchasers under the act OF
1887 and 1889 may defer payment
If interest from August l to Janua-
y l of the following year by paying
70 per cent additional. /
Timbered lands are sold at not ,
ess than SIS per acre, and the whole I
must be paid in cash. 7
The timber on the lands may be s
old without selling the lands, but ,
Il such cases the appraised value c
nust be paid in cash, and the pur $
haser, IN such cases, is allowed five 4
ears IN which to remove the tim L
er.
Instructions would now be issued :,
4 circular form, but the legislature !
eng in session, there may be some |,
hange in the law which would re- !
uire a change, and therefore l I
wait the action Of that body As Il

Brazilian molasses, sugar, tea ant
| hides are to be admitted free O
duty in consideration of an opel
market being given there for thu
productions of this country.
1t is thought this will be followed
by other treaties with Mexico anC
the South American republics. 4
similar proposition has been made
in regard to Spain for the Island Of
Cuba; but the chances of reciprocity
are less favorable with that country
as free trade between the United
Estates and Cuba would mean a
great loss of revenue to Spain
which it could not well spare, and
would have a tendency to bring
Cuba and the United States too
closely together, with the eventual
annexation of that Island.
On the North, Canada is applying
for reciprocity treaty with US, and
will probably come to some terms.
The Canadian government proposes
Joint commission with this coun-
try, similar to that of 1871, with au-
thority to deal, without limitation,
on the following subjects, and pre-
pare treaty affecting them:
1. Renewal of the reciprocity
treaty of 1854, with notifications
required by altered circumstances
by both countries, and with extern
sions deemed by the commission to
be to the interest of Canada and the
United States.
2. Reconsideration OF the treaty
of 1883 with respect to the Atlantic
fisheries, with the aim of securing
free admission into the United
States markets of Canadian fishery
products, in return for facilities to
be granted to United States fisher |
men to buy bait aud supplies and |
cargoes in Canada: all such |
to be mutual,
g. Protection OF mackerel and
other fisheries in the Atlantic
Ocean and inland waters.
4. Relaxatlons of seaboard coast
ng laws of the countries.
5. Relaxation of the coasting laws
# the two countries on inland waters
lividing Canada from the United
'tates.
6. Mutual salvage and saving of
7recked vessels. l.
Z. Arrangements for settling the
oundary between Canada and
laska treaty will be ad referendum.
Hon. Sir Charles Upper, the Ca
adam high commissioner at Lon
on, now in New York, expresses i
imself as thoroughly in favor of
lis proposed reciprocity treaty, i
nd declares that the people of
anada will gladly support it.
here seems to be no objection to a
on the Canadian side, and it rests 6
18th the United States to determine C
neither it shall be accepted or not.
1t seems highly probable that
T, Blaine's idea of reciprocity trea-
IS with the various American coun-
les will be carried out. 1t re-
aims to be seen whether this has
the effects in the way of extend
g American trade, which he pre- !"
,ted for it.

The Spanish government has q
decisive mode of dealing with pat

that it really cures the complaints
