 Ralph Austin. formerly of Bailey and Austin, and James Morton, for mer1y of Morton and Moore, have conoocted a nonsense vaudeville act that is a riot They recently play ed to extended engagements at Ham, merstetn's and the Palace in New York and are now repeating their tri- umphs over the PoH circuit. They do a little bit of everything, their dancing offerings especially creating a big hit They are assisted by two women, and manage to round out twenty minutes of as fast and as clean entertainment as has ever been seen here.
 MT. and Mrs. Erwin Conne1Ily, in the scenic claRstc ''Sweethearts,' are daint1est of sketches and it never grows old. Special scenic effects add much to it's beauty.
 The Idenas Troupe of eight wo- men acrobats offer one of the most startling gymnaSttc novelties in vaudeville and their act is cranmed full of thrills. Sutton McIutyre and Sutton-who were on the first bill ever shown at Poit's-are beck again with the rural nonsense set. '-The Pumpkin Gdrl'' This aot, too includes eccentric danc- ing, tumbIing and the novelty of the pumpkin is a real surprise.

PLAZA THEATER

Harry Ftapfs latest musical comedy offering, Tine Yachting Party with Walter Weems and a company of ten, including a chorus of clever, pretty girls who sing and dance well, is headlining a bill of attractive vaude- vile features at the Plaza the latter half of the week and it was enthusi- astieaIly received by yesterdays au- dfences. The act is handsomely staged with special scenic and electrical ef- fects al-~-S the singing and dancing numbers with a snappiness that is exhi1arating.
 Harry Bloom had a line of songs and comedy talk to offer that brought him out with aonors. MT. Bloom pos sesses a splendid voice and the song numbers he has chosen give it ample scope while his witticisns were thor oughly enjoyed.
 Lampinf's burlesque on the wonders of the magic art proved one of the brightest spots on the program. While exposing many of the tricks that have been used by magicians to baffle au- diences the world ever, the means used by these clever artists are. just as baffling to the onlookers as the tricks they expose. But it is all put over in al manner that provokes rounds of laughter.
 Dorman. & Wilson, a boy and girl in a singing and piano offering that is both neat and refined, take their share of the honors at every appear ance: Pollard, who bills himself as the ta1kative juggIer,s' won instant favor Pollard is a clever performer and his bit of entertainment is a treat.
 Leading Lizzie Astray," a Key stone comedy that keeps the laughs coming for twenty minutes; Out of the Air. two reel special, and Love Finds a Way complete the bill.

Winona, Mimi, June 23.-Larga
damage is reported from various por-

result Of heavy rains Sunday. The
most serious, and at the same time at
tended with the most miraculous e.
cape from serious loss, was at Mime
sofa City, village of some 200 peo-
pie six miles north of here.
Rollingstone creek, on which Mime
sofa City IL located, overlooked It's
banks following cloudburst about
o'clock, causing, a mill dam half mile
above the town to 60 out. The water
in the creek Is said to have raised at
the rate of more than three feet an
hour.
Two great channels were cut
through the streets Of the village, each
from 20 to Is feet deep and from IS
to 100 feet wide, yet not a building
was damaged
One is raging river more than 20
feet deep and nearly Is feet wide.

Washington, June 20. - Transconti.
mental railways won their, fight for
title to some $70O,O0O.O00 worth of oil
lands when the supreme court held
void the clause In the patents making
the land revert to the government II
found to contain minerals.
Patents Held Irregular.
The court held that the patents
we're irregular, but that they could not
be attacked collaterally by other
claimants, but could only be set aside
by direct attack by the government.
Justice Vandevanter, for the court.
incidentally emphasized the claim that
the governments time in which it
could take the patents had expired in
1900 or 1901.
Says Officials Must Do Duty.
In every case before this court"
said Justice Vandevanter, I'VE have
held that, where the law says that only
mineral or homestead lands are to be
granted by the land officials, the Off
cials must do their duty of ascertain
ing whether that land came within the
law, and that they could not perform
their duty by inserting exceptions that
the land should not pass if found later
not to be within the law"
This was precisely the contention Of
the attorneys for the railroads.
Justice Vandevanter pointed out that
all the land patents granted to rail-
roads since 1866 contained clause de-
claring the land should not pass from
the government if later it was found
to contain minerals.
What it Would Mean.
"Let US see what this would mean In
the case of the Northern Pacific" said
he. "The Northern Pacific got every
alternative section of land in a forty
mile wide strip from Duluth to the Pa
cific. Should these clauses be held
valid, the question would arise as to
whether those who long ago purchased
from the railroad and created farms,
ranches and towns upon them had any
rights"
The company contended that evil
dence could not be presented at this
day to show that the lands were min
eral, and that the issuance Of the pat
ents was conlusive proof that they
were not. It is also argued that the
exception was void.
The government has a separate suit,
from this case, to can
Gel the patents to oil lands held by
the transcontinental carriers.
Brought BY Californian.
The decision was in case brought
by Edmund Burke Of California, who
claimed the right to lands now held
by the Southern Pacific on the ground
that they should revert to the govern
ment because oil had been found af-
ter the issue of the patents to the
railroad.
1nasmuch as all the transcontinental
lines have similar lands they came
into the proceeding. The court de-
cided practically only one point in
favor Of the governments contentious
that oil lands were mineral lands.
When the supreme court met It
handed down decisions in all forty
nine cases still on the calendar. The
court adjourned until October, and,
with clean slate before taking the
summer vacation, the highest, tribunal
