Northern Pacific Land Claim Knocked
Out-Man-and-Wife Case.
The court also decided the case of Mary
Borden, appellant, VS.. the Northern Pacific
Railroad company, involving a large
amount of valuable property in Wiscon-
sin which the railroad company claimed
belonged to it under the act granting it
lands to aid in the construction of a rail-
road and telegraph line. The land in
volved was claimed by the railroad COM
pany on the ground that entries of previ-
Gus settlers had been cancelled and the
land restored to the public domain. The
court holds, however, that the cancellation
did not have the effect of bringing the
land under the operations of the grant to
the Northern Pacific company; it simply
restored the land to the mass of public
lands to be dealt with subsequently in the
same manner as any other public lands of
the United States not covered by the
grant The court decided that Mary Bor-

Extract from u Lecture by DIR. j. II. Kei-
logg. of the Battle Creek SanItariuIn.
The philos ophy of the peculiar phe-
Domenon by which a person who has
lost a limb is conscious of its presence
as still part of himself, and which
causes him to complain of pain in II OF
even to attempt TO use it, is not gen
orally unders TODD by people and yet it
is simple enough. A man whose arm
was cut off day or two ago says, Il
can feel my arm the same as If it had
not been cut off and wouldn't know
it was gone without looking at the
stump" The brain is conscious of the
various parts of the arm and hand
simply because it sends down nerves
into those parts, and after amputation
they report as before. In case Of an
amputa tion, all the nerves of the arm,
even to the ends of the fingers, are in
the stump, and when a nerve which
goes 10 finger is irritated in the stump,
il says finger" to the brain. because 1t
cannot say anything else, and other
nerves will say just what they have been
accustomed to saying while the arm was
entire. Suppose you put your thumb just
back of the little prominence of the
elbow. and press down upon it--you
will feel a numb sensation clear to the
end of your finger. You have not
touched the finger and yet the nerve re-
ports to the brain that something Is the
matter with IL. Sometimes the muscles
which close the hand are irritated and
the individual imagines that his hand
Is shutting up. Instances have been
frequently known where patients have
insisted that the h and oraeg which had
been taken off should be unburied and

GEN. soHoFIELD,s REPORT.
Recommendation for the Better En-
oioney of the Army.

oioncy of the Army.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 19.-"Domes-
tic violence in some of the states has
rendered necessary the use of military
force in support OF the civilauthorities,"
SAYS General schofeld in his report. In
the case OF the young state OF Idoho, the
militia organization had not yet reached
the strength necessary to cope with q
very formidable insurrection. which had
involved much destruction OF lie and
property in the Couer d'Alene mining
region.
The report shows that in Wyoming it
has also been ecessarytoenploy troops
to prevent conflict between armed par
ties and citizens.
In regard to small arms and field ar
tillery the report states that when the
troops are furnished with the magazine
small arms selected by a board, they
will be as we'll equipped as any troops
in the world.
General scho(eld earnestly econ
mends that no time be lost in provid-
ing a full supply Of these arms for the
regular troops and the organized militia
of the several states, and also a con-
siderable reserve supply for issue to
volunteers whenever the latter may be
called into service. He also urges that
the necessary appropriation be made
for a full supply OF the most approved
breech loading rilod field gun. Tor the
light batteries of both the regular and
volunteer troops. Continuing, the re-
port states that q substantial beginning
has been made in the fortiiication and
armament Of the sen coasts of the United
States, as well as in the construction Of
a new navy worthy of a great and pros
porous country. 1t is urged that there
be allowed no lapse in the annual ap:
preparations necessary to the continued
prosecution Of this great work.
General Scholeld renews his former
recommendations for the passage Of
The three battalion measure pending
before Congress. Concluding, the re-
port says that for many years the har-
mony OF the war department was dis
turbed and the efficiency OF the mill
tary service impaired by conflicts Of
authority between the staff depart
ments and the commanding officers OF
the army. But wiser theories of ad-
ministration and more moderate views
OF the authority Of subordinates have
been gradually established until the
right to exercise independent authority
within the command OF the administers
tive sphere Of u superior is o rarely
claimed, and all departments OF the
military service generally work in har-
mony and duo subordination to carry
into effect tho requirements of law and
the orders OF the President and secre.
tary OF war.
