AN APPEAL TO SECRETARY BLISS

WASHINGTON. May 26.-Binger
Hermann, commissioner of the general
land Office, today announced his de-
cision in the Chicago lake, front cases,
reversing the decision of Commissioner
Lamoreaux, and denying and rejecting
the application of Harvey M. Lafollette
and Matthies Benner to locate Nc
Kee scrip on the lands. This allows
the patent rendered to, Robert A.
Kinsie, in 1921, to stand for the benefit
of the grantees. The commissioner
holds that the Kinsie patent applies to
all lands in the tract stretching to the
shore line; that the accretions inure to
the benefit of those who hold under the
Kinsie patent, and thirdly that there
was ample justification for directing
and holding re-hearing.
The decision involves many millions
of dollars worth of property along the
shore front of Chicago, and is the most
stubbornly contested case that has
been before the department for years.
It will be appealed Immediately to the
secretary Of the interior, which de-
cision, however, in any event, will not
be final, as the case will be carried
through the courts, 1t already having
been begun in the courts of Illinois.
Mr.. Hermann's decision is deemed nee
essary as to the protests of Peter john
son, in which he asks permission to
renew his former application to make
homestead entry, and also to file VAL
entine scrip in case the Mckee scrip
owners were sustained The same dis
position is made of the protest Of
George Streeter, who asserts claim In
himself under his application to locate
military bounty land warrant and
also to make homestead entry on a
portion Of the land involved, and who
asks that he be allowed to intervene
event this office should decide said
lands to be subject to disposal by the
United States. The appearance Of w.
H. Cox in this case and the arguments
submitted in his behalf. are not refer
red to in this consideration, as it is
understood the decision, says that his
relation was that of an amicus curiae
in these proceedings. The decision
says:
The land applied for is within the city lin
it's of Chicago, and has been subdivided into
blocks, lots, streets and alleys. Private per-
sons and corporations claim and occupy this
property. For over forty years much of this
occupancy has continued and extensive valua-
BILE improvements are upon the lands. por-
tion is occupied by the Michigan, the Chi
cago & Northwestern railroad, the docks
and shores Of the Chicago Dock and Canal
company and the United States pier, and
protestants claim the United States light
house to be on it also, The land also en-
braces valuable brick sand wbeden buildings

CANNIBAL TROUT.
OF Nine Fish in Pail Only the
Largest One Remained.

There is middle-aged man, an ex-
cellent mechanic, in the town where I
live, and I occasionally meet him in
the street or the postoffice and general
ly we have few minutes conversation
when we meet, for he has been close
observer Of nature during his life and
I like to talk with him about what he
has observed, says the Forest and
Stream A few evenings ago I was
about to pass him with bow when
he stopped me with the question: DO
YOU know the capacity of brook trout
as a cannibal?' Confessing that I did
not, he told me of n youthful expert
ence of his own. He was boy attend
ing the district school some distance
from his home, and carried his dinner
in a tin pail. A man in the neighbor-
hood desired to stock a pond with trout
and offered cents each for such trout
as the boys would bring him alive and
in good condition. There was a trout
brook close to the school house and one
afternoon my friend went there to earn
some of the money. He caught nine
trout and put them in his dinner pail
and covered the pail with his straw
hat and set out for the mans house.
Eight of the trout were about the same
size, quite small, and one was so large
that the diameter Of the pail was not
great enough to accommodate him
without bending his tail a trifie. When
ne reached the house of the purchaser
of live trout he announced that he had
nine fish worth As cents, but when the
hat was removed from the pail it con-
tanned but two trout, and he stood
open n-mouthed looking into his dinner
pail, wondering what had become Of
seven trout he had started from the
brook with They could not have es-
capped from the pail, for his hat had
kept them in. The man saw that the
boys surprise was genuine, for his 40
cents had shrunk to 10, and he showed
his disappointment in his face. The
explanation came as both were looking
into the pail, for the big trout, with a
dash, seized and swallowed the remain
ing small trout, and his 40 cents shrunk
to 5 before his eyes.
This was something absolutely new
to me, that trout, just caught, and
confined in small dinner pail, would
eat one another in the manner described
until but one was left, the survival Of
the biggest do not question the story
in any of it's parts, but before it was
told to me had I been asked if such
a thing could be possible I would have
said no. I have carried hundreds of
trout in pals and other vessels during
boyhood and later, but never even sus-
pected such pronounced cannibalistic
tendencies in fish freshly caught and
confined in such small space. That
trout will do this same thing in an
aquarium I have had ample evidence,
burt not until they become accustomed
to their new quarters and other kinds
of food was not forthcoming to appease
hunger. We live and we learn.

"The Rewards of Christian Effort"
was the topic which Henry Varley
preached upon last evening to an au-
dience which filed the First Baptist
church He said he had not announced
the topic beforehand because he wish
ed to keep his mind clear for whatever
impression might come to 1t. he re-
garded this as an indication Of what
the Divine Spirit thought most suita-
BILE for the people, and said in conclu-
sion, that he hoped that sermon would
not rise up as a witness against any
of them in the hereafter.
The mere saving of the soul, he
held to be a comparatively unimpor-
tant matter, because soul might be
saved from damnation and yet be so
poor in spiritual reward that such
condition would be punishment in it
self If anybody there thought that
in heaven there are no classes or dis
tinctions, Mr.. Varley proceeded to re-
move that error in very emphatic
manner. He compared the thief who
was saved on the cross to the Apostle
Paul, and asked If anybody supposed
they enjoyed an equal reward OF the
Same place III nedVeu.
1.-The apostle Paul is the wealthiest
capitalist in heaven. Next to Jesus he
is the richest one there asserted the
speaker, though he made it clear that
he referred to spiritual wealth and only
used the term capitalist in fgurative
sense. The thought he wanted to bring
ut was that Paul, by his influence while
on earth and the effect Of his teachings
through succeeding ages had gathered
about a far-reaching spiritual circle and
must now enjoy a life of wider and
nobler consciousness than could be con-
ceived of any other parsonage known
in sacred or secular history.
This illustration was then applied to
those who hesitated to become prac-
tical Christians and put off the day
when they will begin active work for
the church because they believe they
can as we'll be saved at the eleventh
hour as at any other time. Mr. Varle
did not deny the fact of salvation to
anybody who chose to ask for it, but
claimed that the peculiar rewards
which would make the future life val
liable must be asked for and would
only be given in proportion as they
were earned. He quoted various por-
tions of the Bible to show that five
crowns are promised; love, righteous
ness, faithfulness, ineorruptibility and
rejoicing He denied each and Illus
trated how the Christian must live and
extend his good influence in order to
obtain them. At the close of the ad-
dress there was an exhortation to
those who wished to become Christians
and quite number rose from different
parts of the house, though the evange-
list did not seem satisfied with the
result and pleaded most eloquently
with them not to delay the time Of ac-
ceptance. The service was concluded
with prayer and singing by the con-
gregation.

HALL NEEDS TO EXPLAIN.
Confession of a Bu1glar Puts Him 4
n Rad Light.

To all appearances the police rounded up a
dangerous gang when they captured Rich
ard Hutchins, Henry Taylor and George
Devlin on charge of burglary. Yesterday,
before Judge Simpson, Devlin gave the whole
thing up and identified the tools, drills, pow
der and tunnels, spread all over the court
room table.
Devlin stated that he had been in trouble
before, and had broken Jail in Indiana. He
is at present employed in the Milwaukee
shops, and upon telling his story to the
grand jury he was allowed his liberty. He
says that the other men, those on trial.
boarded with him. and induced him to go with
them on their trips. Questioned by Mr.. Pur-
dy he stated that Mr.. Hall, the attorney for
the defense. called at his house to see him
twice, and that he wanted him to call at his
office and tell what he was going to say
about the case. Hall told him that the 9TH
ers knew a lot about him, but would keep
quiet if he left town. He said he couldn't
get the money, and Hall told him it might be
secured.
Mr.. Hall had just started the cross exam
ination, in an effort to explain the visits
when court adjourned, although Mr.. Hall
asked that he be allowed to question the wit
ness before he had an opportunity to see his
wife.

MERIT MAKES 1T FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy in the World, Ex-
cept a Surgical Operation, That
VIII Certainly Cure Any
Form of Piles.

The study Of physicians, the expert
ments of chemists, the loudly adver-
tised pretentions of quacks, have been
for years expended in one direction.
to find pile cure that would cure.
The results have been a number Of
harmless and in most cases useless
ointments, suppositories and even in
ternal remedies, which the public have
weighed in the balance of experience
and found wanting; nearly all of them
gave some relief, but nothing approach
ing radical cure resulted from these
preparations.
The remedy required is one which
will Immediately stop the pain SO Sc
we're in many cases Of piles, and then
by contracting the small blood vessels
(capillaries) to their normal size, pro-
duces a radical cure by reducing and
finally absorbing the tumors and heal
ing the inf1anned, raw mucous surfaces.
Until two years ago no such remedy
had been produced, but at that time
suppository was placed upon the mar
ket, which has since proven itself to
be the long sought permanent cure for
this common and distressing trouble;
it has rapidly become famous through
out the United States and Canada, and
is now sold by nearly all druggists
under the name Of the Pyramid Pile
Cure.
1t is now the best KNOWN, because
its merit and safety have advertised
it wherever used. 1t has been adver-
tised by word of mouth from one suf-
ferer to another; people who had tried
everything else. even submitting to
painful and dangerous surgical opera
tions without avail have finally found
that piles may be cured without pain
and without expense, practically, as
the Pyramid Pile Cure is sold for the
nominal price of so cents and 81 per
package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all pain
and at the same time contains no CO.
caine, morphine or narcotics; the acids
and healing properties contained in the
remedy speedily remove, cause
healthful. natural contraction and alb
sorption of the tumors; it will cure any
form of rectal trouble except cancer
and advanced fistula, which, by the
way, nearly always result from neglect
ing proper and timely treatment for
piles.
AS above stated, can furnish you with
the Pyramid Pile Cure at so cents for
ordinary size or 81 for large package.
