For a number Of years i: has been the
practice of some county commissioners
to purchase right Of way along section
lines from farmer for public roads, and
in many counties the expense Of opening
up these roads has been a big item.
These officers are now discovering that
an old law declares section lines public
highways, and will bring test cases to
test the validity Of the law. Chapter %,
law of 1871, declares that thereafter
all section lines in this territory shall
and are hereby declared to be public
highways. The land owners hold that
their patent from the government en-
braces SO many acres from given points,
and that there is no deduction made for
necessary highways, either in boundary
lines or in price, aud they do not know
how the state can appropriate their land.

1t is claimed by the fecund democratic
correspondent of Yankton land who
should know more about popullsts Ethan
a democrat, that the switchboard Of the
populist state management, which
always does the work before convention
meets, has sidetracked all other con
gressional aspirants and brought to the
track J. E. Kelley of Flandrau and Judge
Plowman Of the Black Hills. This is
pretty good news for republicans. A
more disagreeable announcement,
however, is the Information that Andy
Lee of Vermilllon is to be s!detracked

koontz substituted. The latter would
carry with him a good many republi-
cans Oh the silver question should the

CLEVELAND, May 1S.-The routine
proceedings of the Methodist general
conference were interrupted by great
applause neal the door, and a short man
was seen ascending the stage. AS he
turned to the audience, it was seen the
man was Major William Mckinley, and
the applause was ~deafening. Bishop

white with handkerchiefs. Three times
the applause died away and three times
it was renewed. 1t was the greatest
ovation the conference. DIR. Kynett
wanted 10 take recess at once, but the
motion was defeated and the business
was continued, The regular recess was
made 10 minutes instead of 10, and
nearly every delegate in the house took
advantage of the opportunity to greet

respondent says:
1t is quite useless to hide the real stu
