THE land court act passed by the
last congress is a very complete law
and provides for the proper settlement
Of all land grant questions. The law
is of no importance in this section of
the territory, for there are no land
grants here, but is of vital Importance
to the people in the northern part Of
the territory.

life have followed the Stars and Stripes
upon the CORY Geld Of battle and this
is particularly the case with the last
OF the great WA Heroes who has just
been summoned by the grim call Of
death to throw of this mortal coil,
full Of years; full Of honor; full of
glory full Of the love, affection and
gratitude of his fellow citizens full of
everything, indeed, that goes to ensure
an enyiable Immortality to the memory
Of the departed.
This beautiful work, just issued by
our friends, the Pacific Publishing Co.,
will be no mean factor in keeping
green for many years to come the story
OF the late generals early life, hisgreat
war record at Bull Run, at Shilo, at
Memphis, at Vicksburg, at Chatta-
nooga, at Knoxville, at Missionary
Ridge, at Atlanta, and last but very
far from the least, that glorious and
immortal "BIarch to the Sea" the gen
eralship and military grandeur of
which has probably never been sur
passed in the annals of warfare. All
these matters are most graphically and
wildly dealt with by the able authors
and when il is remembered that Gen
eral Howard has with the consent OF
the late generals family, had access to
all the private diaries and correspond
ence of General Sherman for the pur-
pose of enabling him to do justice to
the subject he had taken in hand, there
can be no doubt but that the book
under notice is an authentic and re-
liable biography of the deceased soldier
1t is illustrated by portraits, battle
scenes, ETC., from end to end. The
steel plate engraving of the late Gen
eral, from a photograph taken just
before his last illness in his generals
uniform is a very fine likeness, and a
master piece of the engraver's art.
The book should find its way into
every patriotic home in the county.

another column.

On Saturday night at a festival of the
colored NJ. E. Church, jeff Jackson be-
came little too demonstrative over some
modest pleasantries INDUCED in by his
companions, and to express his pent up
feelings made use of considerable pro-
family Constable Chalmers Hoffner, al
ways on the alert to preserve the peace
of the village, demonstrated with Jack
son, and to assist him in preserving the
code of morals, called in Marshal Martin.
Neither one nor both could calm Jack
son, although both jointly declared him
under arrest. Jackson continued to roam
about at his own sweet pleasure, declar-
that no four men could arrest him. At
anyrate he was not arrested Gus Straud-
er interfered in Jackson's behalf, but
both were allowed to go unmolested un-
til Monday morning, when Jackson was
arrested, plead guilty to the charge of
using profane language, and was fined
S100 and costs. AT a hearing later he
was bound over to court under $500
bond, on the charge of resisting an Off
GER Strauder was held for Probate Court
under the same bond and on the same
charge.

THE WEEKS MARKET.

The warm weather seemed to have an
effect on cattle market at East Liberty
on Monday. There were 70 cars on sale
as against 50 cars last week, but notwith-
standing the less supply, the market was
dull. Most of the cattle were of the
poorer grades. Prime, 1,4OO@1, ,5OOfb
cornfed cattle, 5.05@6c; prime, 1,OOOb
fat, 4.9Oc; poor grades Ohio and Indiana,
S1a@415c; stock steer, 3@4c; veal calves,
54@5Hc.
Of sheep there were 10 cars on sale as
against 81 cars last week. The better
grades brought an advance of 1Oc.
Ohio's, 9O@92b, 4S5@5c; 94@95b same,
5c@5O5e; fair S4@S5b Ohio's, 4.7O@424e;

Hogs footed up II cars as against 13
cars last Monday. Market fairly active.

good Workers, 465@475c.
Wheat still is very dull at the same
prices, S1.05, but decline seems probable.
The favorable weather for growing wheat
is having its effect on the market.

THE MERRIEST GIRL OFT.

"Bonnie, sweet Bessie, the maid of
Dundee" was, no doubt, the kind of a
girl to ask, "What are the wild waves
saying?' or to put "a little faded flower
in your button hole, she was so full of
vivacity, and beaming with robust health
every girl in the land can be just as full
of life, just as well, just as merry as she,
since DIR. Pierce has placed his 'Favorite
Prescription" within the reach of all;
young girls in their teens, passing the age
of puberty, find it a great aid; delicate,
pale and sickly girls will find this a won
derful invigoratOr, and a sure corrective
for all arrangement and weaknesses in
eident to females.

On Tuesday afternoon of last week
during the thunder storm, Mrs. Happy
Heidleston, of near Middleburg, had a
narrow escape from being instantly killed
by lightning, says the CatdooeU Repub-
Hcan. She'was in cherry tree picking
cherries when the storm commenced.
She had large brass kettle over her
head in which she was placing the fruit,
when a bolt of lightning came down
through the tree, and striking the kettle
perforated it and burned her very badly
from shoulders to feet. She was knocked
from the tree to the ground by the bolt,
where her little six -year-old daughter was
standing, and upon sufficiently recovering
from her shock, picked the child up in
her arms and went to the house without
any assistance. The call was close one;
so close that all her clothing was burned
from her body and the flesh burned in a
frightful manner. AT this writing she is
improving splendidly, and is free from
all danger.
