The reserved seat gag at the show
yesterday, by which many persons
were induced to pay extra for what
was supposed to be a cushioned seat
and proved to be nothing but a slip
of mating over the ordinary board,
and were refused the return of their
checks, so they could get what they
had paid fora good reserved seat
was certainly the snidest and cheek.

long time, and should have been be-

it certainly kept many from attend

Assistant Attorney General.

Last week the trouble which has
been brewing at Hanover came to a
sudden elimination when the Atchi.
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad
company refused to furnish any more
cars to the Silver City q Northern
railroad company. Some time ago
the Silver City 81 Northern cancelled
the through rate on iron ore, thus
practically prohibiting the shipment
Of iron ore from Hanover by other
than the Southwestern Coal & Iron
Co., under the same management
as the Silver City & Northern rail-
road Co. The latter company has
no cars of its own, and when the
Atchison people refused to furnish
more cars the shipment Of iron from
Hanover necessarily came to an end.
In the mean time, if terms can not
be made with the Silver City d
Northern a new line will in all prob
ability be built from this place to
Hanover to haul the ores from that

About 500 pounds of silver bullion

ANGRY SQUJATTERS
An Adverse Decision Is Again Rendered
Against the Settlers in the Des Moines
II Navigation Company's Case.
Many Have Occupied the Lands for Years
and Trouble May Be Had in Re
moving Them.

FORT DODGE, Iowa, Special Telegram,
Jan. 12.-Like a knell Of doom into many
homes in Webster county to-day came the
news by wire from Washington that the
United States supreme court had decided
the famous Des Moines river land case
against the settlers Notwithstanding the.
general impression that decision adverse
to the settlers was a certainty, many of the
settlers still confidently believed that their
homes would be saved to them. Their last
hope Is now gone, and many are the de-
nunciatlons hurled at the courts Of the ma
ton. Eviction will have to be resorted to
to remove many OF the squatters from the
land which has been their home Tor almost
lifetime. The case decided by the su-
preme court was appealed from Judge
Shlras, Northern Iowa district. Attorney
General Stone presented the settlers cause.
LET IT REST IN PEACE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-"Requiescat in
pace" was the parting remark Of Justice
Brewer to-day when the Justice dismissed
from the further attention Of the court the
case OF the United States vs..the Des Muines
River Navigation and Railway company.
The court Tor the eighth or ninth time rem
dered decision holding good the title of
the navigation company to the land. A
ripple OF laughter passed along the bench
at the remark OF the justice, which doubt
less reflected the wills Of the whole court

TURNING TO BONE.
An Idaho Woman Who Is Afflicted
With a Peculiar Disease.

An Idaho Woman Who Is Afflicted
With Peculiar Disease.
Mrs, Mollie Hughes, a highly-respect-
ed widow lady, living near Camern-
vile, Idaho, is afflicted with unique
and most distressing disease, says the
st. Louis Republic. Little ny little
the flesh OF her entire body is turning
to solid bone, or, in other words, she
is becoming ossifed. The dis ase was
first noticed in 1886, when Mrs,
Hughes was Miss Duychink, of Canon
Rapids.
At that time only a single finger was
affected. Within month after the
time when Miss Duychink first noticed
the numbness and stiffness of the fin
ger it had been accidently broken off
while she was asleep. The incident
gave the girl no pain there being neith-
err blood, nerves nor flesh left in the
diseased member, but it excited the
alarm Of the family, who called in a
physician.
The broken stump Of the finger was
amputated back to where the living
flesh set on and. everything was
thought to be albright Soon the flesh,
muscles, arteries, veins and nerves on
her hands, fingers and arms became
as hard and feelingless as the finger
had been before it was broken off.
Next the awful malady extended to
the elbows, the forearms becoming as
white and as clear as alabaster.
Within the year the toes and the
end OF the nose and ear tips showed a
like color and rigidness. The process
of Ossifcation has now been going on
for five years, and the attending ply
sicians say that it is only a matter of
time when the entire body Of the poor
victim will be a. solid bone. It is a.
rare disease and the pathology of it
is little understood.

The man seized the offending dish be-
fore the customer could finish the SEN
tence, and vanished with it. He re-
appeared in a. moment with another
supply ofthe same soup, which he plac-
ed before the gentleman, and then stood
regarding him with an anxious face,
wondering what could be the reason.
the soup remained untasted.

slowly remarked the literary man.
"Why not sir? What is the mat
teri" stammered the unhappy wait
er, who had been told he was serving
an important person.
II cannot eat this soup" said the
literary genius calmly for the third
time, "because l have not as yet been
provided with, a spoon" And look
ing up to catch the expression OF re-
lief on the walters face, he INDUCED in
the low chuckle which was the only
expression of amusement to which, he

How Rooster Flaps His Wings
VIM. Hamilton Gibson, who is a
trained observer OF plants and
animals, satisfied himself some time
ago that a rooster makes the Tapping
noise that accompanies his growing by
striking his wings together over his
back. The'popular notion is that the
bird produces the noise by striking his
wings against his hard, fat thighs.
Mr.. Gibson discussed the subject with
a farmer once, and the latter laughed
at the artists idea, and said: GIVE

A NICE LEGAL POINT.
The Right to Enforce Il Labor Contract
Tested in Court

LILO RASnC TO Enforce Il Labor Contract
Tested in Court
GRAND FORKS, Mimi, Special Jan. r.
The habeas corpus case be.ore Judge Hol-
land Saturday, from this county, is
likely to have an important bearing on the
relation Of an employed person to the en-
ployer, as to exercising the option OF work
ing OR not alter hired-or rather as to
whether the employer can enforce a con-
tract or agreem ent with a person to go,to
work, by prosecution ior violation
The case came from three lumber
men who were hired by Manager
Sims, of the Lasca Lumber company. He
purchased tickets for them to this place
from Minneapolis and paid out other
money for them on the WY. Arriving
here they refused either to go to work or
to re und what had been expended on them,
and this being a. very common thing, and
determined to break it up. Mr.. Sims had
them arrested On charge OF obtaining money
on false pretenses.
The case was tried by Justice Kearney
and the men were found guilty and SEN
fenced to Jail. They were not without
friends at their homes, and the result was a
legal movement Tor their release, and by
Attorney Merrill a writ OF habeas corpus
was procured and the prisoners taken from
Jail by Sheriff Markham and taken before
Judge Holland and released. 1t is said that
there is a very plain ground for damages
tor false i'm prisoument but that the attor-
ney in the case has expressed himself as not
intending to proceed to that extreme.

He was well-known figure among
the patrons of this particular restaur-

else, and he generally was served by a.
waiter who had become used to his:
way OF speaking, but one day new
waiter took his order and brought
