Asl land, Wis, Dec. 27-Announcem, 1t
was received from Washington to-day
that Secretary of Interior Smith had de-
cjdeu the land contest case of A r.
Osborne ct al. VS.. Col. j. II. Knight,
the business partner of Senator Villas.
The land is situated within the city linz
its. 1t comprises 1000 acres, worth
S30O,0OO, and has been in litigation for
several years. Shortly after Knight was
receiver of the land office here he bought
ihis land of the Wiscorsi Central rail-
roau, claiming it under the innocent
purchaser act. A year afterward the
land was settled upon by six homestead
ers, who began a contest with Knight
about fifteen months ago. Secretary
Noble decided against knight on the
grounds that as receiver of the land Of
flee he was aware that the Central did
not have title to the land, and that he
was therefore not an innocent purchaser
" hen the new secretary of the interior
went in Knight made Il motion for a new
hearing, but Smith affirms Mobiles de-
cision and denies the motion. This set
ties the case unless Knight carries it to
the United States supreme court. The
six settlers were represented at Washing

opponent in the senatorial contest at
Madison Il year ago.

The Crisis ut Hand.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Ministcr Men
do ca of Brazil, believes that a crisis
III the Brazilian revolution is at hand,
and that the decisive stroke will be made
this week. He says that the two great
irorc]ads of the rebel commander, Mello,
cid the flotilla of little torpedo craft
hastily improvised by President Peixoto
are rapidly nearing each other The min
lister says that a commission is almost
ct1tcin to occur efore next Monday. He
recognizes that the little torpedo and
dynamite boats are tremendously over
matched by the rebel ships, but he counts
much on the ability Of the small boats
to vancouver quickly and to discharge
their novel explosives. Senior Mendonca
is hopeful and confident that the Meilo
fleet will be defeated and that the peix-
OTTO ships will then be able to turn at
tention to the other rebel admiral, CANA
who is in Rio harbor.

PUT POISON IN ALCOHOL.
A WOMAN AT PIERRE MAKES A
DFATHBED ACCUSATION.
She Charges That Ter Husband

Woman Dies and Her Husband Is
Placed Under Arrest.

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 27.-Mrs. Louis
Armstrong. a woman of bad reputation,
Cled on Christmas eve from dose OF
strychnine, supposed to have been adj.
nil istered in a bottle of alcohol. just
before her death, in the presence of her
husband, 2 doctor and another witness,
she claimed several times to have been
poison ed by her husband. She once adj
dressed her husband, saying: THAT
]; st drink you gave contained poison,
md I am dying" The husband stood by
during her death struggles, not showing
any feeling and not denying the state
mcnts of the dying woman. He after
wards, when arrested, stated that his
wife had charged that he gave her poison,
but he then denied it. The parties had
been married about two years, and the
woman had a bad reputation when he
married her, but he claimed she had
promised to reform. Armstrong returned
about two weeks ago from North Dakota,
where he had been spending the summer.
They had not gotten along we'll since
then, the woman having run him out Of
the house few nights before with an
AK. Both Lad beel drinking heartily of
late, and the woman had been on 9. spree
n(re or less all the time for the past two
months. Al mstrong told his neighbours
the day his wife dieG that he could not
live with her any lol ger, and was gring
to leave her. The wife had also made
the statement that he had threa tened he:
life on a number of occasions. The hus-
band had heretofore bo1ne a fairly good
reputation. An inquest was held ove'
the remains. The stomach was removed
from the body, and will probably be an
alyzed and the evidence used at the
trial.

A New Start.

AS we begin the New Year we feel
as if we were taking a new start. Dur
ing the last days of the old onewe
should have cleared away good deal
of rubbish that had gathered about us;
and now with all rearranged and
Strengthened up, we should address our
selves to the coming duties with heart
full Of hope. Discoura cement and fore
boding are bad preparations for any
work. One is not autopian when he
sees the good side instead of the bad
one. He is only sensible, showing ap-
propriate faith, and encouraging him
self with that spirit Of hopefulness that
is part Of the Christian religion, as it
is also, in it's measure, characteristic Of
healthy mind and body.

Two eagles have built their nests for
years in an old tree which stands not
far from the ST. Lawrence River in

north of Ogdensburg The spot is a

of the old forest where the birds make

the eagles come, and their arrival is
as much expected and talked about
as is the date when the ice will break
up in the river which flows near by.
Two caglets have been Matched each
year, time out of mind, and it is one
Of the interesting incidents in the neigh
borhood when the old birds "shake
OUT the young ones to give them their
first lesson in flying. The birds never
go far from home in the summer. AL
most every bright day one Of them
may be seen sailing high above the
blue st. Lawrence on the watch for 4
fish, and then falling like an arrow, to
bury its claws in the back of it's prey
and sail hOmeWard for fish dinner with
its mate. All summer they are there,
and when the autumn colors come up
on the trees they go away, to come
again next spring. No one harms
them.
One day last Septcnbcr,as a reporter
was driving near the eagles home,
one OF them was seen circling slowly
several hundred feet above the river
A farmer near by called attention to
the bird with evident pride.
Does no one try to shoot them?'' he
was asked, after telling how they
came there every year.

Probably Lost

New York, Dec. H.-The agents of the
German tank steamship the Burger
mcister Petersen admit to-day that they
fear she has been lost. Nothing has been
heard of her since she was on Dec. 10 in
a disabled condition. The Lancastrian
Prince reported passing the Petersen on
that date. Her rudder had been carried
away and temporary one rugged. This
was in latitude 47:3O, longitude 44.332.
Capt. Burger, of til. Petersen, asked to
be taken in tow. The Lancastri,ln
Prince was short of coal and refused.
Moth ing since has been heard of her.
She carried crew of thirty-eight men.

They Will Strike.

Milwaukee, Dec. PA conflict is on
between the receivers of the Northern
Pacific railroad and it's employees, includ-
Ing all the engineers, conductors, fremeu,
tralnmen, sWitchmen and so on. The new
schedule of wages, adopted by the receiv-
ers which implies a cut Of to 10 per
cent i'll thu employees pay, was rejected
by The employees representative; ut q
ton1ertIce held in St. Paul with General
NJ; ager Kendrick yesterday, and the
prospects are that or Jan. /, when the
new schedule is to 60 into effect, $500
men, employed al along the road, will
quit work. This outcome of the contro-
yersy was foreseen by the receivers, for
as early as Dec. 10 they applied for and
obtained from Judge Jenkins, Of the
United States court of this city, an order
authorizing and directing them to put
into operation the new schedule Of wages
end restraining the employees and their
urifrs from Combining and conspiring
to- quit with or withC ut notice the arvice
OF the road with the object of Gripping
or embarras< ing it's operation, and gencr-
ally from interfering with the officers and
agents Of the receivers or their employees
Ill any manner by actual violence, intim-
idation, threats or otherwise This in
juno ain was held back until to-day, tn,
TN civ ers having eSpe cted to arrive at A
amicable agreement When they found
such an agreement impossible they tele-
or; pied to their agents and attorneys all
along the line to have the injunction
served by the Uni ed States marshAls on
proper men, and to make the injunction
SCI orally known. The order Of the court
restraining the Northern Pacific employees
from combining and conspiring to quit
the service Of the road is an extraordin-
airy document. It is the first order of it's
kind, it is said, ever issued in the United
States. A somewhat similar injunction
was issued by a United States court in
Michigan during the strike of the Toledo
4 Ann Arhor employees, but the injunction
was issued after the strike was in prog
reSs.

his assailants, who emrtied their re-
volvers at him, Howell following him up

Taking a Bath Without Towels

Many people will be surprised to
hear that a great many Of our profess
sional athletes look upon cold bath,
without the aid of towels, as their
principal aid to health. The method is
to take a cold sponge bath every morn
ing Immediately on rising and then,
while dripping wet, to draw on ones
flannel singlet and pants. The bather
then starts walking up and down his
bedroom at a smart pace. He is soon
bathed in 4 most delicious perSplratlOn,
and in about five minutes finds himself
deliciously fresh and as dry as the pro-
verbal bone. His underclothing is per-
fectly dry Us well, and he can finish
dressing at his leisure. CinQueva1li,

An Electrified Sidewalk.

People in the ncighborhood Of the cor
her of Main and State streets had some
excitement yesterday shortly after
noon. A trolley supply wire in some
way broke away from the insulator
and came in contact with the iron pole
The electric fluid soon reached the
sidewalk and filled the icy bricks 50
that several persons received severe
Tins watched for. the ones who might
follow, there was lots of fun. A man
man would come along, and as he
reached the limits Of the electricity's
force, would stop suddenly and look
down to see what had struck him. A
step forward and another severe shock
and he would grow pale and all sorts
of awful things began to rush on him.
Dire diseases which began by such
awful symptoms, the victim would rea-
son, must be shortly fatal, but soon the
laugh Of some watchers or the sight of
another victim would reassure him, and
soon the cause was found. But the
funniest of all was Il little dog who
came running joyously down the street
and on the charmed walk. Then came
a howl of wild anguish and surprise,
and the dog tried to leave. But he
couldn't; the harder he tried, the closer
he was drawn toward the pole. He lay
down; worse yet; every hair formed a
wire, as it were, to conduct the fluid
to his body. At last desperate jerk,
and he fell into the gutter, where he
found relief. Soon after the wire was
fixed and the fun ceased.-Springfeld
