PACIFIC LAND FORFEITS.
Government Orders Suits Against the
Rig Corporatfon

Government Orders Suits Against the
Big Corporation.
Omaha. Neb., Feb. 25.-The government
has ordered suits for land grant for
feiture against the Union Pacific Railway.
Assistant United States Attorney Bush
has returned from st. Louis where he Sc
cured an order from Judge Caldwell OF the
court of appeals to make the receivers OF the
Union Pacific road parties defendant in land
grant forfeiture suits. He has filed in the
United States circuit court petitions in
equity in two cases, wherein the United
States Is plaintiff, and the Onion Pacific
ct al, defendant. In one case, and the
Union Pacific and the Sioux City and Pacific
Companies defendants, in the other.
The subpoenas in the case will be given to
the marshal at once and the work OF serv-
ing them begin. 1t is doubted very much
whether they can all be served in the time
required by law and In that event the case
will go over to the next term of court.
Outside OF the two railroads-Union Pa
cific and Sioux City and Pacific-set out
in the title OF the petition, the defendants
will not be much affected by the suit
if they can show they have bona fide
title to the land in their possession.
A third case, in which the Burlington
road will be defendant, will be filed before
March 8.

Sunday evening, so the story goes, Ko-
linski accused his wife of unfaithfulness.
She demonstrated with him, and told him
that because of the trouble he was con.
stantly making she could live with him no
longer.
Angered beyond reason, Kolinski rushed
over to the stove and grabbed the poker;
then he ran back to his wife and brought
down the poker on her head with all the
force he could muster. A second and
third time he raincd blows on his wife's
head, and she sank to the floor bleeding
and unconscious. Her skull was fractured.
She fingered until noon yesterday, when
she died. Kolinski fed but was captured
by Constable Evans and taken to the lookup.
The room wherein the brutal assault was
committed gave evidence that the woman
had struggled for her life. Blood was
spattered over the room, and the poker was
covered with hair and blood.

MORE RELIEF NEEDED.

Vivid Account of the Work Being
Done at Van, Turkey.
New York, Feb 25.-The following cable
dispatch from DIR. Grace kimball, Ameri-
can missionary at Van, has been received at
the office of the Christian Herald:
Ivan, Turkey, Feb. "a The need for re-
lief is steadily increasing. We are now
helping 16 900 destitute persons here. With
the Christian Herald fund we have sent a
relief expedition with 5000 to Shadagh to
begin work there, and $500 has also been
sent to Ardjiss."
These districts embrace some fifty
villages and great distress prevails. The
scanty winter provision of most families
in both cities and villages is exhausted, or
soon will be, and they have no possible
resource save through the relief work.
This alone prevents a famine.
There are now six Christian Herald
bakeries running. We have 100 employees
in the industrial bureau. Relief must con-
tinue at least two months longer.
"KIMBALL."
In letter from Van, just received, dated
January %, DR.. Kimball writes:
''As soon as we had the assurance OF the
first $4,000 from the Christian Herald
we pushed forward the relief work with
new vigor and more cOmmensurately to
the present needs OF the people. This in
volved the need OF larger quarters, and we
found very admirably adapted house Of

and we are adding daily to the thousand
workers in the industrial bureau at the rate
OF from ten to twenty persons. Last weeks

Of which she thrust into her assailant's
face. The scoundrel nearly dropped In a

larity because of having been given the test

larity because OF having been given the test
OF several seasons.
At only one juncture in the play did it
threaten to lose the zest of its racy wit,
andthat isin the singing of"On the Bowery"
by Welland Strong. but Harry Conor, who
played that role, succeeded IN investing
even that worn-out song with new humor,
and was called back to give all the verses,
which one would suppose the public had
long ago grown utterly weary of.
The uprOariOus farce is carried through
with a vim from start to finish and the
audience seemed to enjoy itself over the
essentially American humOr tremendously.
Mr.. George Richards Ben Gay was very
good and his part of doing nothing to speak
OF through a long act kept people in
hysterical giggles whenever they could di-
vert their mind to bis pitiful condition.
Miss Geraldine Mccain started the part
OF the widow off with a decidedly delight
full chic, but she allows the character to
degenerate somewhat before the end of the
play.
Fannie Mia co gives two unique and dainty
dances in the Cliff House scene. 1t is safe
to say the "Trip to Chinatown will have
hosts of friends this year as usual, for it
has q flavor about 1t that doesn't seem to
lose quality with age.
People seem to never tire of seeing and
hearing Primrose & Vests Ministries. This
was evidenced by the crowd which packed
the Academy last evening from gallery
to pit.
Many new features have been added since
they were last seen in this city in the way
OF songs and dances and an occasional
joke which convulsed the audience with
laughter.
The company is about evenly divided be-
tween white and genuinely colOred artists,
and of the latter Mat johnson is the central
figure.
W. Il. west, George II. Primrose and
Jimmie Wall are the end men. These artists
are too well knOwnn to need praise. George
Wilson and Andy Mcleod, with their funny
sayings and comic songs, never fail to
amuse. They were repeatedly recalled, and
when Wilson responded with Il Want You,
Ny Honey" that just capped the climax.
The cake walk was one of the new at
fractions, and will occur each evening.
