ceilent condition and that the shops of the

SETTLERS WILL LOSE HOMES.
Minnesota Supreme Court Decision In
Favor of Russell Sage.

ST PAUL. Mimi. June 1.-Justice Lewis
Of the supreme court has filed decision
which will result in several Stearns county
settlers losing their homes, title to which
was contested by Russell Sage as assignee
in trust of the Hastings and Dakota Rail-
way Company.
Under the act of Congress of June 4. 1866.
the Hastings and Dakota Railway Com
pany completed its road within the time as
extended by the Minnesota legislature.
When the road complete there was
found to be a deficiency in the primary
grant limits of about 10000 acres and only
10000 acres available in the indemnity linn
its to make up the loss. and in consequence
all the lands in the indemnity limits were
selected.
After the completion Of the road and the
land selection the roads franchise was for
feited by a judgment and later its property
was transferred to Russell Sage for the
benefit of the stockholders
Judge Lewis holds that the settlers who
entered upon the lands after they had been
position to attack Sage's title to lands
earned by the completion of the road and
secured to him by a transfer which the
court holds to be valid.
While only few hundred acres We're ui-
rectly involved In this case, the decision in
wolves the validity OF the entire grant.

MALTA IGNORED,
A Market That Could He ProAtabl,
Worked by Our manufacturers.

Consul John H. Grout at Malta reports
to the State Department that American
manufacturers have not taken advantage
of the excellent opportunities for trade
that that island affords. He says it would
prove lucrative to them to station agents
in Malta. Already the demand for our
American goods in Malta is increasing, but
this is not due to the presence there of
personal representatives Of American
houses, for during the consul's stay of four
years he says he has seen but one Ameri-
can drummer. In that case, however, the
best results were attained In view of the
fact that American manufacturers have
representatives throughout Europe he
thinks that they should be represented in
Malta up to the present time they have
practically ignored the island-a most
profitable market. Consul Grout speaks of
large orders which representatives Of Eng
hsh and German firms are securing and
asks the question, "Why should not Ameri-
can agents do equally as well?" The con-
sui names numerous foreign ports where
American agents are located who couli
easily visit Malta. The consul says the
market is specially good for our hardware
oils, paints, canned goods, hats, stationery
and also for other lines of goods.

EFFECT OF CADETS SUSPENSION.
Successful Candidate VIII Be Bar
red From West Point.

red From West Point.
The recent action of the War Department
in dismissing and suspending several ca
diets for mutinous conduct has created
situation said to be unprecedented in the
history of the academy. Cadet Charles
Telford was suspended for period of one
year. Under ordinary circumstances he
would have graduated in June. 1902. His
suspension has the effect, however, of de-
ferrng his graduation for year. His ap-
pointment is credited to the congressional
district of Utica. New York. In anticipa-
tion of vacancy in that congressional dis
trict in June of next year, a young man
named Jarvis has been selected as Telford 8
successor. Although Jarvis would be ell
gible for the vacancy in June. 1902 he will
not be eligible in June, 1903, for the reason
that he will have passed the age limit by
that date. The question has, therefore,
arisen as to whether Jarvis shall lose his
appointment at the Military Academy on
account of conditions for which he was not
responsible in any way. He simply suffers
on account Of Telford's misdeeds. Although
there has never been a similar case before
the department. it Is felt that there is no
help for Jarvis, and that he will have to
lose his appointment. =.

full The first four winners were ridden by
him in faultless style, one out of the chute
and the others over the regular course.
A distressing accident happened in the
second race, which was for maidens three
years old and upward. but, happily, no
serious results are apprehended to the
jockeys who fell, but Zeus, the four-year-
old bay colt by st. Savious-Bell dor,

Lyme on Zeus tried to keep his position
although he was Cutrun in the first six
teenth. Just when Zeus was settling down
in his stride and making up some ground
on the leaders, he became pocketed on the
rail. with Golden Bay Immediately in front
of him.
What happened then nobody seems to
know, but Golden Bay fell and Zeus tum-
bled over him. Golden Bay got up again
and followed the horses. but Zeus and the
two jockeys, Lyme and II. Wilson. lay
where they had fallen. Zeus was killed out
right his neck and leg being broken. and
he had a hole in his forehead deep enough
to have killed him, even if he had been
