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.

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. Ponva
