Nebraska Decisions cf J parks Reversed. Wa'Iiinuton, Nov. 17. The secretary of the interior has reversed the decision ofthe commissioner of the land ollice in the case of Simeon Margai lidge, who made a homestead entry for two half sections of land in Valentine district, Nebraska. The land ollice rejected his application to amend the original liling, and the secretary, in the absence of ad verse rights, sees no reason why the ap plication .should not b: granted. The secretary :do reverses the commissioner's decision in the case of John M. Wynnnt, who made a timber culture t ntry for two quarter sections, and one-half section in McCook district. Spark held Wy mint's entry for cancellation on the ground that the affidavit at companying the case set forth that natural timber was growing on the ground. The secretary holds that notwithstanding tha fact that small Irees are growing on the banks of the creek, within the land claimed, the land is sub ject to timber culture cutty. A Steamer's Crew Driven From Their Posts, Except tho Wheelman. Makci:ktte, Mich., No. 17. The steamer Arizona, of the Lake Superior transit line, was burned to the water's edge this morning. She left this port at 9 o'clock last night, bound for Pot tage, carrying a full cargo of merchan dise. When out thirty miles a hnavy sea was encountered, and the boat turned about to come back to Marquette. When she was live in i lis away the boat commenced rocking heavily, when a tank of acid began leaking and set the boat on fire. Nothing could be done to put the fire out every man, except the wheelman, being driven from his post by the fumes of the acid. There being a good head of steam on, the boat kept right on moving. A b at was lowered and ready for rescuing the men in case they could nut make the harbor. The boat rounded the breakwater at 4:30, running close enough to enable the crew to jump off. After the boat was aban doned near the shore at the goyernn.ent pier she was soon destroyed. The fire department was called out, but could Co nothing to stve the boat which burned to the water's edge. The Arizona was a freight boat, valued at about $10,000. She was on her last tri p for the season. A COOL MILLION An lntit?.nap:lis Cou-pla Hoisted From Poverty to Affluence. Indianapolis, f nd.. 1 7. Dillard Brew ins an I wife, an aged couple that have depended upon cherity fur years, have just receive I information that they have inh.-rited an estate valued at upwards of $1,000,000. Tchre is something of ro mance in the story of their good fortune. Th- parents of Mrs. Brevvins died when she was an infant, and she was adopted by aich couple living in L-igh Valley, Pa.; but when she married a poor laborer in the neighborhood again.'t their wishes they cast her off. With her husband she lef : her old home, and she has never since had more of the comforts of life than the small earnings of a poor laborer would afford. Several years ago her husband became blind, and they have since depended upon a charity organiza tion of Indianapolis for sustenance. Through this organization, however, came the information of the estate that had been left in Pennsylvania for an adopted child of a wealthy couple, and the story agreed so well with the history of Mrs. Brewins as it appeared upon the charity records, that the matt-r was in vestigated, and it has just been found that stfe is really lhe heiress Nebraska's Coal Production- The amount of coal now beiDg sold at the coal mine is from ten to twelve tons per day. And yet the demand for it is five times as great as the supply. We believe that at this time the miners would sell fifty and perhaps seventy-five tons per day if they could get it out. On Sunday great unmbers of people visited the coal mines, and at one time there were over a hun 'red in the large mine viewing the interior and the work that was being done. At 3 o'clock, when the crowd was largest, tlu new mine which was opened last week was chris tened w th appropriate ceremonies. It was mined the "Ethel" mine, in honor of Mr. Gantt's little daughter.
