Sand.

Sand.
When horses were used on the cars In
this citv. and w hen they came TO / he hill on
Westminster street, the driver frequently
threw sand on the pavement TO give tne
horses better footing.
Sand Is what a good many business
men need Just now while passing through
these times. Brighter days have got 10
come, and those who withstand the
storm, those who have the sand, the
stamina, will get up the hill, although IL
looks long way TO the top from down IN
the valley.
/ miss those bands from the country
and those daily excursions from places
along the road as far as and Including
Worcester. Have the people gone back
on the succulent fruit OF Narragansessa .sa
majority of those who do go down the
river take their own luncheon along,
much to the discontinue Of the caterers
down the bay. But then that was always
the case more or less. There are some
people who figure 1t this way. We wili
go down the river, sit in the shade ana
partake of our luncheon and save the
price Of clam dinner, the aggregate saw
ing, counting time, trudging OF baskets,
clearing up and not really being satisned
with the food is about twelve cents per-
son. Going down the river and leaving
the shore dinner out Is putting on pair
Of gloves minus the fingers.
Mr.. Wiman, who wrote letter tacitly
admitting that he wrote another mans
name across q check and obtained money
thereon, who had trial and was found
guilty by twelve good men and true, and
who was afterward sentenced to prison
for five years, has slipped through judi
cial loop hole, and Is to resume business
pending the legal untangling OF the net
work of technicalities.
Judge Barrett has granted stay on what
Is termed q certificate OF reasonable doubt.
The case of Wiman Is peculiar one.
There were some very extenuating cir
cumstances connected with 1t, and IT Is
safe to assume that the majority OF men
in the world of business and finance are
really glad Of Mr.. Wiman's good fortune.
When he speaks, II he ever does in regard
at the milk in the cocoanut OF what really
caused the trouble.
When a man goes up in balloon and
never is seen again, the presumption is
that something has happened. 1.-THE man
be married his wife is justified in assum-
ing she is q widow after a reasonable
length OF time has elapsed and 1t would
therefore seem superhuous to GO to the
trouble and expense OF obtaining dl-
vorce. You cannot obtain divorce from
dead man. 1t seems, however, accord
ing to recent events in the courts Of Bos-
ton that divorce may be granted IN
absence of indisputable evidence that ths
man did actually die, Notwithstanding nc

TO PREVENT BOOMING.
a Bill to Change the Law in Regard T.
Opening Indian Lands.

a Bill to Change the Law In Regard To
Opening Indian Lands.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE secretary
of the interior has sent to the house
committee on public lands the report OF
the commissioner OF the general land
Office on the bill introduced by Chair
man McRae, providing for the disposi'
tion OF lands embraced in Indian reser-
vstions hereafter opened to settlement.
The commissioner sees no reason why 1t
should not become law as the most
expedient method of meeting and over
coming difficulties OF the laws for the
survey of public lands and for opening
them to settlement and disposal. In
such cases, where tine Indians rellnqulsh
their right in reference to such lands. 1t
has been customary to provide for the
opening of the land and the disposal
and settlement thereof by a special en-
actment, adapted to that particular oc-
casion. The lands are usually touno,
and when they become ready for dis
posal. to have become enhanced in value
and great concourse OF people assem-
bled and waiting for the time OF OPEN
ing to settlement, and ready to resort TO
extremes and, in many cases, reprehen-
sible means of obtaining an advan-
tageous position in the competition.
The result has been confusion, even
fraud and violence, involving great
difficulty and expense on the part OF the
executive authorities in the attempt,
only measurably successful, to secure
an equality of opportunity for citizens
go desiring to acquire title to the tracts
to be opened to disposal. This bill pro.
poses to prescribe general rule on all
cases whereby method may be estab-
lished for disposing of the valuable
lands by receiving sealed bids and dis
posing of the lands on the principle OF
awarding them to the highest bidder,
with the super-added conditions, in
other respects, of the homestead law, in
favor OF actual settlers, and thereafter
for disposing of any lands not bid for at
the first offering, to applicants in the
ordinary manner.

MINERAL LANDS.

An Important Cass Affecting Them Be-
fore the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE full bench
in the supreme court was engaged today
in hearing the evidence in the case of
Barden va. the Northern Pacific Railroad
company, which comes to this court
upon an appeal from the circuit court
for the district of Montana. The ques-
ton is whether lands Rscertained to be
mineral lands alter the grant to the rail-
road company are the property OF the
company, congress having excluded
mineral lands from the operation OF the
grant. The railroad company insists
that only such mineral lands are ex-
cluded as were known to be mineral
lands at the time of the grant. while
counsel for Barden asserts that the
mineral lands are excluded up to the
time that the patent WAS issued. The
government is upholding the case oil
BaIden, vi no waB represented by Solicitor
General Maxwell and W. w. Dixon,
James McNaught and j. @. Carter ep-
pearing for the railroad company. The
principle laid down by the court in its
decision in the case will have an impor-
tant bearing on other mineral land con-
tests in Montana, and the interests at
stake are very large. Most of the min
eral lands along the Northern Pacific in
Montana, Idaho and Washington will be
affected by this case.
