Accepted the Grant.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 12.-The bill
accepting the millionaire grant of land
to the state under the Carey act, and
providing the methods by which the
land may be reclaimed and sold to set
tiers, passed the Senate in the Wyo-
ming legislature today, in the same
form as 1t passed the House, and needs
but the governors signature to become
a law.
The Van Orsdell arid land bill occu-
pied the day in the Senate to-day. The
bill was considered by sections In com.
mittee of the whole. Senator Foote OF
Johnson county attacked the bill In
long speech. He said he objected to
the bill because it conferred too much
power upon one mantle state ensin-
eer, and because it Disseminated
against the settlers and in favor OF the
corporations with which the sthte
would enter into contract. There Is aD-
solutely no limit to the eXtortionate
charges these companies may make 10
the settlers for the use of water rights
under the provisions of this bill, said
Senator Foote. The bill is solely in the
interests of the land grabbers, VINO
will be clothed with the authority OF
the law to steal the heritage of the peo-
pie.
A number of amendments were Of
fered by both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, but they We're all voted down
and the bill passed in its original form,
with only two dissenting votes.
There is great deal of work un-
finished and it will be almost impossi-
BILE to get through by Saturday, unless
the session is heightened as provided
for in the Senate resolution.
1t is said the governor will call an
extra session.

Magnificent Winifall for tho Man Who
Finds rr. Frnkcr.
Kansas City, No., Feb. 17.-Forty
thousand dollars is the reward offered
for the apprehension Of DR.. George Fra
ker. The offer is made by the insur-
ance companies which issued policies
on DR.. Fraker's life.
When the confession of Judgment
was taken in the federal court last Mon
day in the case brought TO collect the
$4,000 insurance, 1t was agreed in the
stipulation filed at the time that the
main sum should not be paid until the
expiration of six months. There was
no reason given for the insurance COM
missioneEs for this clause and none was
required, but it was understood it
was simply one of business and that 1t
was in good faith.
Now, however, it is learned that the
companies have joined in issuing cir
cular to their agents Offering $4,000
for FraSer's recovery, within the six
months stay before the payment of the
money. The number Of agents en-
ployed by the companies amounts to a
small army and includes every city, vii
lage and hamlet in the land. In addi
ton the offer has been made to every
reputable detective agency in the coun-
try.

Omaha, Neb., Feb 16.-The Bee to-
night says: 1t was given out at the
Omaha federal building to-day that in
the future Nebraska Indians are to be
paid their annuties in cash instead of
the customary supply of blankets, gro
ceries, etc. This is said to be the result
of the thievins perpctrated on the In.
dians by traders who secure their sup
phys for naught. 1t is believed this sys'
TEN will apply through the entire West.
The recent Indictment of three men
who bought cattle from the Winneba

handsome profit, has opened the eyes of
the government 10 the fact that there
are but a few of the big ring of trick
sters who have been cheating the In

was resolved upon. Hence the subject
of paying Indians money and allowing
them to buy their clothing and supplies
wherever they wish, has been revived.

the federal officers.

A BRIGHT STAR.
A SKETCH OF THE MAN WHO
LED MARY ANDERSON
TO FAME.
Also Played Leading Roles with Booth,
Barrett and Thorns.
from the St. Louis Chronicle.l

from the ST. Louis Chronicle.l
One of the most conspicuous figures in the
Stageland of America to-day is John W.
Norton. Born in the Seventh ward Of New
York city forty-six years ago, the friends
of his youth were Thomas w. keene and
Frank Chanfrau. We find keene star at
the age of 25 and Norton in the flower of
early manhood, the leading man for Edwin
Booth at the famous Winter Garden Thea
ter. He was starred with Lawrence Bar
rett early in the 70s, and alternated the
leading roles with Charles Thorne at the
Variety theater in New Orleans. Early in
the Centennial year, in Louisville, Norton
met our Mary Anderson, then fair young
girl who aspired for stage fame, took her
under his guidance and, as everybody
knows, led her to fame. MIR. Norton is now
the proprietor of the Grand Opera House in
St. Louis, the Du Quesne Theater, Pitts
burg, and one of the stockholders In the
American Extravaganza Company.
One afternoon early in June he hobbled
into his New York office on Broadway and
encountered his business manager, George
McManus, who had also been a rheumatic
sufferer for two years. Norton was sur
prised that McManus had discarded his
cane. who cured youf" he asked. II cured
myself" replied McManus, with DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills"
II was encouraged by Mr.. McManus'
cure, and as last resort tried the Pink
Pills myself" said Mr.. Norton to Chron-
icle reporter. "You have known me for hve
years, and know how l have suffered. Why
during the summer of 1898 l was on my
back at the Mullanphy hospital, in this
city, four weeks. was put on the old sys-
tenn of dieting with view to clearing those
acidulous properties in my blood that medi-
cal theorists say is the cause of my rheu-
matism. l left the hospital feeling stronger,
but the first damp weather brought with it
those excruciating pains in the legs and
back. 1t was the same old trouble. After
sitting down for stretch of five minutes,
the pains screwed my legs into q knot when
arose, and l hobbled as painfully as ever.
After I had taken my first box Of Pink Pills,
It struck me that the pains were less trou-
blesome. l tried another box, and began
almost unconsciously to have faith in the
Pink Pills. l improved so rapidly that l
coald rise after sitting at my desk for an
hour and the twinges Of rheumatism that
accompanied my rising were SO mild that
scarcely noticed them. During the past
two weeks we have had much rainy
weather in St. Louis. But the dampness
has not had the slightest effect in bringing
back the rheumatism, which 1 consider
sufficient and reliable test of the efficacy Of
Pink Pills. / may also say that the Pink
Pills have acted as a tonic on my stomach,
which thought was well nigh destroyed
by the thousand and one alleged remedies
consumed in the past five years."

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 17.-Just be-

was introduced and unanimously

signee of the T. A. Kent bank of Chey-
enne to recover SOC, 900 of state funds,
which the treasurer lost on account of
the failure of the bank in July, lS93.
Mr.. Gramm failed to reimburse the
state when he turned over the Office to
his successor on the 1th of last month.
The important measure vetoed by
Governor Richards was the act Great
ing state board of arbitration. The
governors reason for the veto was that
the act confiicted with the state con-
stitution, which provides that the de-
cision of the arbitrators shall be null
and void unless both parties to the con-
troversy voluntarily agree in advance
to be bound thereby. The bill passed
by the Legislature authorized either
party to compel n hearing without the
consent of the other, and therefore con-
fiicts with the constitution.
The following additional appoint
ments of state officers were made:
State coal mine inspector, Dave u.
Thomas of Rock Springs; fish commits
sioner, Gustav Schnitger of Laramie;
members of the commission to revise
the laws of the state, J. A. Vanordsel
and Hugo DonZelman of Cheyenne and
Clarence C. Hamlin of Rock Springs.
At the hour of adjournment over 200
acts, some of vital Importance to the
people of Wyoming, had been delivered
to the governor. About one-half Of
them have been approved already. The
governor has sent in but one veto. Leg
isla ation has been enacted reducing gen.
eral expenses of the state government
for the next two years nearly S23,OoO.
This has been done without cripplins
any institution, but on the other hand
liberal appropriations have been made
to carry on the work of construction on
the several charitable and penal inssi-
tutions now in course Of erection.

COST OF THE STRIKE.
rhre, millions Thought to Bo . Conserva
tive Eslimate.


Brooklyn, N. Y, Feb. 1.-THE troll
ley strike, which has lasted thirty
four days, has cost an enormous
amount of money. Three million dol
lars is considered by those involved a
moderate estimate. When the strike
started 1t was stated that District AS
sembly 70 had from 100000 to $4,000
In its treasury. About S65,OOO was sub
scribed by -ympathizers. All this has
been spent and the S350,0OO wages OF
the men would have earned has been
lost.
The Brooklyn Heights company was
the heaviest loser among the roads. 1t
is estimated to have lost directly 5000,
600. The other systems have lost close
to 100000. The cost to the city and
state troops is expected to exceed $3.50
900. The damage done by cars man
ned by inexperienced men is placed at
100000, and the loss in earning ca
pacity by the militia during their stay
in Brooklyn is conservatively estimat-
ed at $25O.OOO.
There were many other losses to
swell the amount in addition to the in
convenience and suffering caused by
the big strike.
