AFTER LONG LITIGATION.
Title Is Finally Quoted to a soutt
Dakota Homestead.

Aberdeen. $. D.. Oct. AFTER a pc
riod of litigation extending Yer TWEEN
ty-two years the title to a quarter sec
tion of Brown county land has been
finally settled and cleared of all claims
against 1t.
In March, 1883, Miss Harriet E. En-
cry. Il school teacher of Minneapolis,
came to Brown county and settled on
the east half of the northwest quarter
and the west half of the northwest
quarter of section 1876. While living
on her claim h contracted an illness
which proved fatal and in June. 1884,
her heirs commuted the land by paying
the minimum price of $125 and made
proof to establish their rights under
the cash entry. Their proof was reject
ed by the commissioner of the general
land office. and the cash certificate held
for cancellation. An appeal was taken
to the secretary of the interior, whose
decision in 1896 modified the ruling and
required the officers of the Aberdeen
and office to notify all parties in inter
est and directed that the cash entry
hould stand subject to the decision of
the secretary. The local lane office
neglected to serve the required notice
unit in the summer of 1899. thirteen
years after the notice was first issued
by the interior department. The heirs
in the meantime had lost interest in the
matter. and finally gave II quit claim
deed to F. E. Emery. a brother of h
deceased ~claimholder. and a resident
of Springfield, Mass. He furnished sup
Elemental proof which finally resulted
in him receiving title to the land in
March, 1902. In the meantime tax deeds
and other membranes had piled up
against the property, and it was not
until a few weeks e that the litiga-
ton was finally ended and MIR. Emery
is now the u%ndisputed owner of the
land in question, which hes become
quite valuable.

81. Joseph, Mo. Mr.. Browne is all ex-
pert timer in the employ of the National
Biscuit Co. He gives the following ac-
count of q trying experience:
.In the spring of 1907 he says,
sswhile l was regularly working at my
trade, / grew somewhat careless in my
habits of eating and drinking, and finally
found that my appetite was tickle, a bad
taste fingered in my mouth, my nerves
twitched and were beyond my control,

eweats would break out over my body at
odd times. Perhaps, while l stood talk
ing with some one, this trembling
OF the limbs, and profuse sweating, and

alarmed at my condition and. having
read an endorsement of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. I got a box and began to use

DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mr..
Browne because nothing can strengthen

New Works Lost Children.
From FeNrSonS
The number Of children lost in the cours

The number Of children lost in the course
OF q year varies considerably.
The largest number of children ever
sheltered at the Central office in the
course Of a year was in 1892. the year of
the Columbian celebrations. when. during
twelve months. more than 5000 children
we're under Mrs. Travers' care.
Fully two-thirds more children are lost
during the ummer than during the win
ter. and at the time of the Italian feast
OF st. Rocco. celebrated in June. the press
OF parents waiting on the steps OF police
headquarters is so great that. according
to the officer who tends the door. you
have to drive them down so you can come
up" Indeed, Italians divide with Jews
the honors OF losing their little ones.
About two-thirds OF all the children lost
may be safely given to these two.
But the star day. OF all the year Is the
first opening OF the public schools. after
the summer vacation. Many little ones
go to school for the first time and are too
small to find their way home at noon; SO
the mother doubtless gives the teacher
very explicit directions to keep "Ikey''
or 'Eebecca" until her arrival at noon.
Now to the bewildered teacher. all pupils.

strange that she fails TO remember which

school Is out. many little ones find them

OF where home Is located. They wander
aimlessly about, sometimes covering mos,
