At the Interior deportment todny there
wns n very Important hearing before Assist-
out Attorney General Shields. H involves
tbo title to B05 acres of land adjoining Rapid
City , S. D. , located In school district l0 ! ,
low'nshlpS , range 7. The case is tn titled the
"State of South Dakota against Lyra an
Lamb nnd W. II. Thompklns , " nnd has boon
before the land ofllco at Hapld City aud the
commissioner of the general land ofllco for
lour years or more. The land Is worth ftr 0
on arrc or a total of $157,500.
The hUtory of the case shows that
Lamb and Thompklns made n [ 'plica
tion to enter tbo land under the
mining laws and their application was re
jected nt the local land ofltco. They took an
appeal , nnd It was allowed bv the commis
sioner of the general Und oftlco. The state
of Soutn Dakota had a prior claim on the
land for school purposes , und contested the
right of Lamb and Thompltlns to make entry.
Tbo entry was made prior to the admission
of South Dakota to statehood but subsequent
to the tlmo when the land had boon reserved
by the government for school purposes.
] > lciix < Ml the Title ,
Ttio territory not having been admitted to
Rtatohood , the state hod not , of course , ac
quired title. Judno Goodykountz of Chum-
Dcrlam appeared for the state today , and M ,
H. Uuy of Hapld City appeared in tlio
hcarlncr for ttio ontrymou. In bis argument
.Judge Goodykountz said that the declaratory
statement and application to purchase made
by Lamb and Tnompktus were not war
ranted by the developments made by them
prior to tbo application to entry ; that thn
' npplicntlon to purchase stated that it was
'for their exclusive use and benefit nnd not
directly or Indirectly for the benefit of any
other persons , when , as a matter of foot , the
evidence showed that M. H. Day had a
written contract with the claimants which
provided for a share In the land In considera
tion of which ho was to furnish all the
money nocessiry for prospecting. The law
of the state forbade any such contract or
sharing wlto others and the application
states that no such contract , oxisti.
He added that coal had not yet boon dis
covered In such quantities as to make the laud
more valuable for mineral tban for agricul
tural or for townslto purposes and the de
partment has repeatedly bold that the
proof of the mineral character of the land
must bo based on tbo actual production of
mineral on the tract Involved and that the
mineral must exist in sufllclont quantities to
make it valuable for mining and mineral pur
poses.
Claims of tlio Kntrymcn.
Colonel Day in bis presentation for the
entrymen statedthat , the mere linking of a
hole und ilnding coal was all that was
required in order to complete tno require
ments of cntymen who makes entries on
mineral laodthat ; as this nplcation was inudo
prior to the admission of the state tbo state
of South Dakota at that tlmo was not a party
in interest.
Assistant Attorney Shields said to TUB
BKI : correspondent that ho would not render
a decision on the contest until the expiration
of the tun days allowed for the filing of a
brief bv Colonel Day. A great deal of inter
est is shown in the case throughout tbo state
of South Dakota. Several Dakotans in the
cltv were present todny , among them Major
Kutli , commissioner of school and publlo
lands. It was tbe intention of GovoruorMot-
lotto to appear at the hearing In tbo interest
of the stato. but ho arranged to bavo the
state represented by Judge Goodykountz.
It Is the opinion of ofllcers in Ibo Interior
department who will not pass upon the case ,
but who understand its merits , and also of a
number of South Dakota citizens hero , that
the state must win the case , although the
question of title will bo Hotly contested.
i Opposed to licet Sugar Intercuts.
' Doubtless it will bo interesting news to the
Btiirnr beet manufacturers in Nebraska aud
other states interested in the produotiatuof
various kinds of sugar to hoar that tbo demo
crats from the northern states have entered
iutouu agreement to stand togotberand bring
'nbout the repeal of the sugar bounty law.
They are to work upon the ground that the
nugar bounty only bcnollts the south , and
i that It is not only Impracticable but vicious
, to attempt to build up tbe sugar by a bounty
system. They have refused to listen to the
truthful statement of the fact thut the
fcugar interests of both France and Gormanv
were built and are now maintained
bv bounties for both domestlo consumption
aiid exports. It is noticeable in this connec
tion that , every representative of the alliance
now In tbe housa is working with the demo
crats and affording every possible encourage
ment In their raid upon expenditures , in
cluding the sugar bounty system , and that a
majority of them come from states which
produce sugar from beets , cano or the troo.
It thus appears that the formers have sent
here representatives to work directly agalast
' their own interest * .

The dispatch In yesterday's paper an
nouncing tbe tiling of articles with the comp
troller at Washington for the Western
National bank of Omaha , occasioned consid
erable comment among business men of the
city , although it was generally known that
such an enterprise was on foot.
The Incornorators are : H. H. Mod ay ,
former manager of the Hammond packing
house at South Omaha ; Robert W. Patrick ,
Thomas Kilpatrlck of the Kilpatrlck-Koch
Dry Goods company , C. P. Wollor of the
Richardson Drug company and Simoon W.
Croy.
The interested parties were very adverse
to being interviewed on the subject as it was
claimed that tbo stock subscribed bad only
boon promised on certain conditions and they
did not care to bo quoted until all tbo detail
were determined upon.
It was learned , however , that Mr. Meduy
has been at work upon tbo matter for some
time , his proposition being that if Omaha
parties would subscribe a portion of the
stock ho would raise the balance among his
friends in tbe oast. It was proposed to start
with not less than $300,000 capital
stock , and if the subscriptions wore liberal
add another fifty or ono hundred thousand to
that amount.
Mr. Maday loft for the cast some days ago
and has writt'on that he has met with better
success than ho anticipated in securing stocit
subscriptions , and that enough stock had
been taken to make the bank an assured
fact.

stock was taken by parties in Detroit , which

i. n. w.
St. Valentino's day , February 14 , Is still
observed by considerable numbers of the
young of both sexes , though not as generally
as In years not long past. Lllto many of the
pleasant customs of the hoary ages , It has
bee n degraded by the vulgar , who seized
upon the occasion to shower offensive prints
nnd insulting Hues upon defenseless victims.
Tno festival continues attractive to children
nnd lovo-slck swains , oven though It has
fallen from Us former high estate.
Why symbols of love und friendship should
bo chosen to commemorate St. Valentino , it
is dlfllcult to determine. Hlstorv has it that
Valentino was a priest of Homo in the third
century , when Ufa was anything but a sum
mer Idyl. It seems ho advocated doctrines
repugnant to the ruling powers , which made
short work of his career by cutting off his
head. Ho suffered martyrdom February 14 ,
2TO A. D. The connection botwcou Cupid
and this good Christian prelate Is not ulto-
gother clear , but explanations of It are
not lacking. The most reasonable ono
Is found in the spirit of con
ciliation that led the early Christian
fathers to engraft pugan celebrations
upon the simplicity of Christian worsblu ,
finding for Roman merrymakings inaugur
ated in honor of the gods a good reason for
continuance in commemoration or the birth
or death of .newly canonized saints. The fes
tival of St. Valentino was originally , doubt
less , the festival of the Lupcrcalia. At all
events one custom peculiar to the latter holi
day Is also a characteristic of the former
the love-lottory , a curious ceremony In which
young mnn draw from a box slip * of parch
ment inscribed with maidens' names , each
bachelor devoting himself for twelve months
to the service of the young woman falling to
his lot. bcinp bound by oath to perform any
deed sue might desire and to do homage to
her charms in tender rhymes.
In England the practice of choosing a valentine -
ontino oxlstod at an earl/ period and was
continued until a comparatively recent ono.
The manner of choosing differed slightly
from the original method , however. The
ballot-box occasionally played a part in It ,
but oftener the first gallant mot on
St. Valentino's morning was
thereby marked out as bor year's
servant by the maid who had the good for
tune ( or evil as the case might bo ) to pass
his way.
Among other favors gifts were expected by
the "lady valentines , " as an old chronicle
calls thorn , und Samuel Pepys openly re
joices in his diary that while his wife's val-
antlno has presented her with a half dozen
pairs ot gloves , he has drawn a noighbor's
little daughter who will bo content with amore
moro modest present. .
Chance-chosen valentines suffered the fatu
of May poles , mummers , hobby horses , and
the other sports and pastimes of England's
merry days. The establishment of the penny
post system brought about tbo substitution
of the rbymlng letter of affection and com
pliment for tbo moro ancient form ; and it is
that letter which is the prototype of the
modern heart-and-durt , lavc-and-dovo , laco-
paper and multi-colored construction , adored
by stationers and small folk alike , for widely
different reasons thai do not require explana
tion. Charles , duke of Orleans , who was
taken prisoner at Agincourt and detained in
Eucland twenty-iivu years , was the author
of the earliest specimens of the written valentine
entine- extant , and some of the most graceful.
Ho has had imitators of all ranks nnd condi
tions , poets who possessed the pretty art of
turning a rhythmical compliment with case
and spirit , and country clowns , forced to
make the time-honored couplet about the
rose ana violet , toll their honest lovo.
On an old manuscript some ono who
guarded his name tealously , wrote years ago :
On pnper curiously shaped.

In versos Valentines y1 olop'd.

And greet the all auspicious dav ,

Herrick and Jav and Dayton hnvo each
paid a tribute to St. Valentino. Praed wrltos
about the day airily and lichtly , as bo wrote
about most things , after this fashion :

And uwaKon'd thn witty nnd fair ;

The breath of the niurnliiK Is Hinging
A inaelo on blossom and spray.
And onokuoys mm sparrows are singing
In chorus on Valentino's day.
Tbo observance of tbo day in England is
rapidly declining. The report of the post
master general shows that in 1883 'J,770OUO
valentines passed through the post in Lon
don , but in 1S90 the number declined to 320-
000.
Valentines that are likely to bo vary popu
lar are of silver sheet mounted upon a second
silver shoot or satin design tbo whole upon
a gold sheet foundation. Then tbero Is an
other of white lace paper on engraved litho
graph lift mounted on colored or gold ground.
An endless variety of what are called
"specialty" valentines will bo .popular this
season. Thcso include f.omo rich designs ,
tbo retail price of which will bo 5 ; these of
fan sbaped plush and painted satin , with
movable center und a painted ivorlno piece
with a rich silk and ribbon border.
Among these more expensive articles there
are largo shirred hearts with shirred satin
corners ; band painted boat tilled with roses ;
fringed satin banner with shirred satin folds ;
emblematic form of letter V and horseshoe ,
painted ; portiere effect with satin drapery
and diamond plus ; silk and plush butterfly.
Jewel eves , painted , nnd a rich banner with
painted ivorino fold with jeweled center.
The fan-shaped valentlr.oj are more elabo

without the aid of technical skill. Thev can
bo purchased in a variety of styles , and are
truly elegant tritles.

century his record lias been unsullied. Ho
was a bravo nnd gallant soldier during the
war : ho received wounds In defense of the
principles of his country , and since the
close of the great conflict ho has demeaned
himself as the honorablc.upright cltizou that
ho Is. m
"Still there is nothing extraordinary in the
'
tact that General Cu'stpr made tbo report ac
credited to him. General Algor may bavo
been sick , ho may have Dcon absent from his
post at the particular' , time alleged , and Gen
eral Ouster , not being able to instantly locate
him , may bavo madavtho return reputed to
him in the Sun editorial. But the prompt
and emphatic dcninl of' Gonornl Algor ought
to completely shatter What I believe to bo a
canard , 'gotten up foncolitlcnl ourpoies onlv.
Instead of injuring him in the O.VCH of the old
soldiers it will have. the contrary effect , as
such things usually do , and 'mako him
stronger in the ranks of tlioso with whom ho
fought. For his record is a'gallant ' ono. one
that any man might be proud of , and his
character is stalnlots. "
"Do you anticipate that General
Alger wilt bo a prominent candidate
before the convention at Minneapolis ? "
"I do not know anything about General
Al par's Intentions in that matter. The presi
dency has never boon mentioned by us when
together. I do know no Is a warm friend of
Mr. Blalne , but what Mr. Blalno's decision
to withdraw bis name from the contest mav
hnvo upon the candidacy of General Algor I
cannot say. That will appear later. "
"What effect do you think the declination
of Mr. Blaine will have upon the party ? "
"It will have the effect of nominating Mr.
Harrison. Nebraska will now bo for the
president , although had Mr. Blame been a
candidate tnis state would have sent a dole-
gallon in the latter interest I have not the
least doubt. Of course with Mr. Blaine out
of the Held I , too , cease to bo a candidate for
tbo position of vlca president , which my
friends have very t kindly urged mo to
stand for , I shall not take any great
Interest In who' secures the delega
tion from Nebraska , reserving all my
strength for the campaign which will com
mand my services , 'for I am a republican' -
ways. "
From this Mr. Thurston drifted Into n dis-
cusslonof the rumored change.in the cabi
net. Ho thought . the resignation of Mr.
Blaine was not at ull probable , but stated
that tbcro might bo something in the rumor
of Clnrkson's promotion to a portfolio. Ho
lauded Mr. Clarkson in extravagantly oulo-
gistio terras , spoke of him as a great organ
izer and ono of the brainiest republicans in
the United States. "And in this estimate"
said the Union Paclfla general bolicitor , "tho
republican party will boar mo out. "

Cure , Martin Anderson Oats Uelloffrom

monlal.
OMAHA , Neb. . Jmi. 18 , 1802.
To whom It May Concern :
This is to corttfv that I have boon n
constant sufToror for many yours with
catarrh , asthma and bronchial alTcc-
lions of the throat , and tried all tlio
patent medicines and ronioillos I overheard
hoard of , but with no success. 1 ticnteil
with doctors in various parts of the
country , hut none of thorn could do mo
any good further thiin giving mo short
temporary roliof. I sullorocl night and
day. and continued to grow worse not
withstanding all the medicine I had
taken. I had almost givun up my cnso
as hopeless when I was informed by a
frlond of Dr. C. GcoVo , the Chinese
doctor , and advised to go and too him in
the hope of getting relief at least , if not
a permanent cure for my trouble. I was
slow in making up my mind to make
Hitch a radical uhango in my treatment ,
us I known , trial with the Chinese decor -
or would bring mo , but I finally con-
luded to give him a trill , so I called at
his nllico with that intention. I found
thn doctor it clover , entertaining gentle
man , thoroughly posted on my condi
tion , and it took only n vary short time
to convince mo that ho was the party I
was so long in search of. Ho told mo
my case was curable , and that ho could
euro mo , and prepared uie n snooial
treatment to suit my condition , and in
two weeks 1 was to much bettor that I
had the fullest confidence in the doctor's
ability and committed my case to hia
treatment. I continued tn gro\7 batter
rapidly and am now entirely well. I
ewe my cure to Dr. C. Gee Wo , nnd am
not ashamed to admit it. I nd vine all
who want relief from their troubles to
call on Dr. C. Gco Wo. and tho.v will bo
