A COUPLE OF Uncle Sans officials In
this district are In a pretty mess just
now on account OF a shortage of funds
somewhere between Iron River and Mar
quette. Z. p. Lott, United States court
commissioner, had occasion to forward
to the land Office at Marquette, few
days ago, Two homestead proofs together
with the Communication moneys amount
ing to S424. He sent the proofs by mail
and claims to have sent the money by
express, but the latter package, when
opened by Rush Culver, the receiver Of
the land office, contained only newspaper
clippings. The receiver opened the
package IN the presence OF witnesses,
and Lott claims to have evidence that he
put the money into the package and seal
ed 1t, and II this is SO the express COM
pany will be called upon to ferret out the
fraud or make good the loss. 1t is pretty
safe to bank on Uncle Sam and the ex-
press company making It pretty lively
for somebody.

Canadian Lumber Free.

A Washington special OF the nth, says
Secretary Carlisle was today notified
by the state department that the Canad-
ian government has advised the secretary
OF state that hereafter no export or
stumpage dues will be levied bv T., NADIA
on any OF the logs, timbers. planks and
other articles included In the lumber
schedule of the new tariff bill. Acting
on this Information, Secretary Carlisle
at once sent telegram to collectors Of
customs notifying them that hereafter
all Canadian lumber will be admitted
free of duty. This action Of the secre-
tary is based upon negotiation which
b ave been on foot In the state depart
m eut for some time to secure from
Canada definite statement OF the atti-
tude to be assumed by the Canadian gov
eminent with regard to the tax on lum-
Der In the event of the passage of the
bill which has just become law. The
bill provided that all the articles of the
lumber schedule, when imported from
countries laying an export duty or i'm
posing discriminating stumpage dues on
any OF them, should be subject to the
duties OF the Mckinley act. After con-
siderable correspondence, the state de-
partment has been Informed that Canada
will impose no such duties, and the
treasury department has accordingly
notified the collectors OF the construction
that Is to be put upon the law.

effected, as supposed, by the passag. Of

effected. as supposed, by the passage OF
the forfeiture bill. These $4,000 acres,
however. are said to constitute some OF
the choicest pine understanding In Mich
igan. The company having attempted
| to dispose OF much OF this pine to the
detrment OF present and prospective
homesteaders, 1t was compelled by Judge
| Severens to give bond for the benefit
of the settlers In the event that the con-
test for the title should result In their
favor.
The length to which the litigation has
been prolonged must have made 1t high
~ expensive TO the homesteaders. After
long delay the commissioner Of the land
Office rendered decision IN the matter
two years ago last July, since which time
it has been pen,llng before the secretiry
Of the interior on appeal. After further
vexatious delays, arguments on the case
were finally begun before the secretary
on Dec. 4, last, continuing for some days.
Tho attorneys for the homesteaders, In
Guiding Rush Culver and Copp q Luckett
vigorously contended that forfeiture act
applied to 100 acres claimed by Daily and
TO the other 1,400 edd acres involved In
the outcome Of the suit. and that the acts
effect be to restore these lands to the
public domain. The corporation alter
neys insisted that certain clause in the
In the law was intended to except these
lands from forfeiture and that In any
event the Michigan Land & lion Co. were
entitled to the land as innocent purchas-
ers from the railroad company.
Since the day of the argumen the de-
cision has been eagerly expected, letters
being received almost daily inquiring
the probable date on which 1t would be
rendered. Rumors about the land Office
at different times have been to the effect
that the opinion had been prepared and
that 1t was In the homesteader's favor,
bat since the date OF decision some
ago 10 the case of certain Key
stone lumber Co., Of Wisconsin, which
homestead lawyers assert was speci-
men Of special pleading clearly showing
The departments inclination to favor
corporate interests, there has been little
hope expressed for Mr.. Daily aud his
associates In bad fix.
Those interested In the welfare of the
state as whole, as those with personal
reasons for favoring the homestesders,
ire disappointed at the outcome. While
the amount Of land involved was small
with that in some other pend
ing Michigan cases, the decision seem
TO show the hopelessness Of further
efforts to restore to the public domain
gobbled lands that should belong to
the people. The innocent purchaseW
theory seems to make a tizzle also of the
attempt TO get back $4,000 acres of
mineral lana illegally secured by the
p ortage Lake Canal Co.

The decision of the secretary Of the
interior In the Daily case came like a
thunder bolt from clear sky to NEST of
people Interested In these land cases,
although it is stated that few who he'd
the facilities for inside information were
prepared for 1t. That the decision itself
is an outrage upon justice can hardly be
disputed, but In the light OF the recent
history Of the administration OF the land
Office anything that nigh. happen there
should not occasion much surprise. The
clause OF the statute upon which the de-
cision turns was, without doubt, intend
cd for persons mot corporations) citizens
Of the United States, who had purchased
from land grant railroad comp anies lands
which we're aiterward forfeited for non
compliance; with the granting act. 1t
allows such persons to secure good
title by paying to the United states 81. IS
per acre. 1t was intended as a measure
Of relief to such purchasers OF small
tracts of railroad lands as would be most
likely to take the railroad ompany's title
without question. and would not seem
to apply to = large corporation having at
command all the facilities for the exam
ination Of titles and the acts upo1 which
they are based. The end sought to be
obtained by the passage of the law is de-
feated by this decision Of the secretary.
Under II Lord Brassey, foreign noble
man, obtains lands the ownership Of
which is denied him under the law. The
attorneys for the settlers will file mo-
tlon for review, but as the principles
involved have been so thoroughly CEN
sidered by the department It looks as
though they could accomplish little ex-
cept another delay Of months or years
before he final end 10 reached.

Drying an Umbrella.

When you come in out of the rain, don't
plump your nice silk umbrella, ferrule
down, into the umbrella stand unless you
want to ruiz it. That lets the water and
tiny specks of grit" run down into the
lining under the iron ring that secures the
ribs, and it stays there, making the silk
tender and rots it. Neither should you leave
the umbrella open to dry, as that stretches
the silk and makes it stiff and it will soon
split. Shake it well, then close itand stand
it handle down where the water will run
off. Never set an umbrella or parasol away
tightly folded. 1t will split out just as soon
again. Leave the folds to lie loosely

with which death reveals man to his com.
rades
y lieutenant in British regiment was
honest, steady, quiet and fun of sterling
qualities, but lac was dull, reserved and
religiously inclined. His brother officers
laughed at him aud associated but little
with him. Though well born, he was poor
and had 10 powerful friends He therefore
remained without promotion or society, but
he never complained and did his best.
A battery was u be taken in the Crimea,
and the lieutenant's regiment was selected
rs the storming party 1t assaulted and
was driven back. The lieutenant rallied his
own company. and with laugh flung his
shake before him and rushed through the
breach into the battery, followed by hand

That night at the regimental mess there
was not man but regretted that he had
not better understood the officer whose gal

remembered a thousand good qualities and
incidents which ought to have endeared him
to them. They were ashamed of the con-

of the fact that they had never shown him
the least kindness.-Youths Companion.
