preme Court.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 1.-The Tn
tied States court to-day upheld the con
stitutionality of the recent anti-lottery
act Of the last Congress, affirming the
decision in the case of Devne and Ra-
peir, the publishers of the New Orleans
States and the Mobile Register, who
were indicted on charges of sending
through the mails newspapers contain
ing Lottery ads" Bv common con
sent the cases were test suits as TO the
constitutionality of the law
Chief Justice Fuller announced that
owing to the death OF Justice Brady, 10
whom the writing of the opinion in the
anlI-l0tterv cases had been given, the
court would postpone any elaboration of
rs views and confne itself TO the
expression OF the general ground on
which the decision proceeds. The
Court then said that the opinion in
c2l-par;e Jackson held the power vest
eli In Congress to establish post Offices
and post-roads embraced the regula-
tioT OF the entire postal system of
the country, and designated what may
and what may not be excluded.
The power granted Congress was COM
plete, and carried with it power to for
bid the use of mails in aid OF the per
petraton of crime or immortality. The
Court saws there is 10 distinction be-
tween maIa prohib and mala I'm Sc,
and that it must be left to Con-
gress in the exercise of solemn
duty to determine what shall be
excluded. There is no abridgment of
the freedom Of the press for the reason
that the government does not prohibit
communication by other means, but
simply through the government
agencies which it controls.

The German Educational Bill Discussed
in the Prussian Diet.
BERLIN, Jan. 29.-The sectarian edu-
cational bill is under discussion in the
lower house OF the Prussian Diet, and
mastery argun ents for and against
the measure are expected. Though
the bill is, of course, government
measure, 1T does not meet with unquali
fed support from all the members of
the ministry. The bill is pet
scheme of the Emperor. but it
Is certain to meet with deter
mined opposition. Chancellor Won
Caprlvi to-day made powerful
speech in favor Of it and took occasion
to denOunce the attitude of the Ma
tlonal Liberals on the question In
the course of his speech he said that
If the members of that party continued
in their opposition TO the measure,
the government would give further
proofs Of its ability to swim against the
stream. The Chancellor added that it
was not the Liberals, but the
National Liberals, who had com
menced the conflict by protests
in which they adyerted to the
contention that the bill would bring the
schools under the influence OF the
Jesuits. The Chancellor declared in
answer to this contention that the 90
eminent would steadfastly oppose
readmission Of the Jesuits into G., =
many. Chancellor Won Caprivi COLI
Guided his speech by warning the OPP
ponents of the bill not to start
an agitation in the country. as
such a course would be dou-
bly, dangerous in the present diff
cult times. AS soon as the Chancellor
had finished he let the House, followed

ALBERT LEA, Mimi, Jan. 30.-Had a
cyclone swept down upon the city on II
clear summers dav it would have
created scarcely any more of a sensation
than did the announcement that the
Freeborn County Bank, owned by the
late Lieut.. Gov. Armstrong, did not
have money to pay depositors,
and that it would be inadvisable
to reopen it as bank, it having
been closed since Mr.. Armstrong;
recent death. The deposits amount to
about $50, 900, and they will all be paid
in due time, but it will be necessary to
sell some real estate in order to do this.
There ere rumors that Gov. Armstrong
lost 100000 in wheat speculations in
Chicago, He left large amount of real
estate, but it vii require nearly all of it
10 pay the claims against the bank, and
it is said that there will not be much
left except the homestead.

After Twenty Years of Deaf
ness a jamestown Man
Can Hear Again.
Marriage of Pierce Blewett
and Miss Emma Edna
Moore.
Concert to be Given for the
Benefit of the Poor of
the City.

A remarkable instance of the sudden
recovery of hearing is the case of Mr..
E. E. Cuddeback of this city. For
twenty years he has been afflicted with
loss of hearing to such an extent that
it was necessary to stand close to a per-
son to hear sounds spoken IN loud
tone. All ordinary tones were lost to
him as we'll as public speaking. About
a week ago he was sitting in the house,
reading, when all at once he could hear
the clock in the room ticking. He could
scarcely trust his ears at first, but from
that time to the present bis hearing has
been as good as any persons. He attended
tho Shortridge reception and heard all
the speakers distinctly. Ordinary tones
are now clearly audible to him. To say
that Mr.. Cuddeback is rejoiced beyond
measure but family expresses the graft
fication he feels. His hearing has been
practically lost since severe attack of
scarlet fever in early childhood.
No reason for the sudden change can
be assigned. Mr.. Cuddeback has spent
large sums of money endeavoring to get
relief, and has tried about all the reme-
dies known. One reputable physician in
the Belleview hospital, New York, even
informed him that the drum of the ear
was broken and advised getting false
drum. Mr. Cuddeback's general health
is no better than for years. Whether
the hearing is permanently restored or
not time alone can tell, but the fact is
that at present, those precious organs of
hearing are doing as good service to Mr..
Cuddeback as anybody's.

What Others Say.

Darlington Citizen: The Argus and
The Alert construe the recent election
as being a demand for the repeal OF
present prohibition law. Whether the
law proves blessing or curse, it will
be rather a difficult matter to change it
as it is part of the constitution We
confess that the attitude of the prohibi.
tionists rather dumbfounds US, for if
they object to the question being
brought to vote they exhibit spirit
which Is not to be commended. If the
sentiment Is against the present law it
can never be enforced. 1t does seem as
if the people should be allowed to vote
upon this question as often as they wish.
That the law is violated IN every village
IN the state IS a fact that is notorious.
just how to remedy the evil Is the
question of the hour. Now if you have
remedy-a sure thing send 1t along.
Minor Teller: If the prohibition law
Is resubmitted to the voters Of The state
1t would mean the arraying Of the coun-
try precincts IN battle line against the
cities. The result would be continuance
of prohibition. 1t is true, however,
that prohibition has not been a great
and glorious success in the cities and
larger towns of North Dakota, and even
IN the country districts, where the
best workings of prohibition can
be found, there is great room
for improvement. 1t IS highly probable
that South Dakota Will repeal her pro-
