The Mysterious Ring.

This story is being told in Paris
concerning a well-known public man
who recently was presented by Sou
danese potentate with Labaksi-Tapo
order Of merit. The recipient, anxious
to display the decoration at the earliest
opportunity, applied at once to the
Ministry for permission to wear It,
While readily granting the permission
the Ministry inquired with a ghost Of
a smile: "Do you know what the Or
der is llke?" Certainly" replied the
delighted applicant. ut is beautiful

red enamel pipe Of peace. | should
like to wear it, "Of course you may
wear 1t, but according to law you have
to wear 1t as 1t Is worn by the natives
Of Africa" sand how might that

The issue Is well defined between
the big range interests Of the West
Identical as they are with those Of the
Beef trust, and the officers OF the
United States government, who are
determined that the spirit Of the law
shall prevail and that the remaining
public lands shall be given only to
home builders seeking residence there
upon.
Many years ago Uncle Sam started
in the real estate business with a
landed property amounting to nearly
two billion acres. There are now
left in the hands Of the government
about 50O,O0O,0O0 acres Of this vast
empire. Never before In the history
Of the Land Office has the absorption
OIL this land by private interests been
so rapid, so eager or SO stupendous in
the acreage involved.

CURES CROWS OF STEALING.
How Dutch Farmers Get Rid Of the
Little Pests,

How Dutch Farmers Get Rid Of the
Little Pests.
The following clever way Of keep
ing crows away from a cornfeld is
used by the Dutch farmers:
He makes some small caps Of stout
paper, and smears round the inner
side Of the mouth Of each some bird
lime or other sticky stuff. In these
he puts some grains Of corn, and
stands them about his fields by press
ing their points into soft earth.
When the crow finds one Of these
paper caps he thinks himself very
fortunate, until he attempts to peck
at the tempting grain, when, to bis
establishment, he finds the cap at
tached to his head-a regular fools
cap-which will not even allow him
to see what course to take If he flies
up.
However, he succeeds in reaching
some coarse grass or bushes, and af-
ter much bewildered scrambling and
Topping about gets the head out Of
this undesirable cap, but ever after
ward avoids the field where there are
more of them.

IF our present system Of land acts
Is continued five years longer, the en-
tire public domain suitable for settle
ment will be exhausted, and there will
be no land left for our people who de-
sire to make homes upon 1t.
During the first ninety days of the
present fiscal year 100000 acres Of
government land were filed upon.
Should this increasing ratio be main
tanned, between twenty-five and thirty
million acres will be taken from the
public domain the present fiscal year"
The above statements are taken
from a report made recently by the
Senate committee on public lands.
This report is the first official evi.
dence of a declaration Of open war
which has been made between those
variously concerned with the fate Of
the remaining public lands.

throughout the state with the public
statement he issued recently, in
which he says conditions in Bis
marck, the states capital, are dis.
graceful, corrupting and inexcusable,
"at least during the legislative ses-
sion," when the leading hotel Of Bis
marck presents the features Of a
saloon, gambling house and a
brothel." He appeals to the people
Of the state to improve conditions he
alleges to exist.
The desirabillty of a legislative In
vestigation Of the bishops charges
was discussed in Bismarck, but no
action was decided on. The proprietor
of the hotel, against which his
charges were aimed said that his
hotel was no better or worse than
any similar hosiery during legis-
lative session. He explained Bishop
Mann's attack by saying that the
churchman recently stopped at the
hotel. His room was next to one oc-
cupied by number Of convivialists,
who were having a jollifcation meet
ing Liquor was drunk in the room
and some ribald songs were sung, the
meeting being participated In by
some members Of the legislature and
attaches.
Bishop Mann succeeded Bishop 3D.
sail as the head Of the Protestant
Episcopal missionary diocese OF
North Dakota. He is a son Of the
Rev. duncan Cameron Mann, who
was a Protestant Episcopal minister
In New York, where Bishop Mann
was born fifty.three years ago. He
was ordained a priest in 1875, and
his first charge was at Albany, N Y.
When appointed bishop he was rector
Of Grace church at Kansas City,
where he had been since 1882.

Alarming Rumor About the Great
Evangelist Is Denied.
Almost everybody has, at some
time or other, sung out Of the Moody
G Sankey hymn book. And last
week 1t was said that Ira D. Sankey,
old and in ill-health, had been stricken
blind.
Allen Sankey, eldest son Of the
Evangelist, said in reference to his
fathers condition; "The report that
father is totally blind, or is going
to be, is an exaggeration. 1t is true
he has been having trouble with his
eyes for some time and has been
operated upon, but he is getting along
well and we trust his sight will be
little, If any, impaired. Worry about
his eyes and overwork have affected

Up to date, Gov. Peabody has refused

to decide whether he should initiate his
predecessors or follow his own policy.
Backed by an apparently strong senti-
ment, for the general public in the State
had by this year grown tired of anarchist ic
labor agitators and trucking politicians,
the Governor declared that he would en-
deavor to preserve the peace, no matter
what happened.
The miners union from central head
quarters in Denver announced that the
eight hour law would be enforced in all
mines and mills on July !, butt the issue
was delayed few weeks. Then general
strike was declared ip the Cripple Creek
district. The operators determined once
more to assert themselves and operate
their mines without seeking the consent Of
the union.
With the first importation OF non-union
workmen the reign of terror began. The
Governor promptly ordered out the troops.
