FRIDAY. JAN. 25. 1884
THEKNEVAL CLAIMS.
Hon. James Laird introduced the
following bill in the lower house con
gress, which was read twice and refer
ed to Committee on Public Lands ;
A bill for the relief of settlers and
purchasers of lands on the public do
main in the States of Nebraska and
Kansas. '
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Unit
ed States of Amsrica in Congress as
sembled, that for the purpose of reim
bursing persons, and the grantees,
heirs, and devisees of persons, who,
under the homestead, pre-emption, or
other laws, settled upon or purchased
lands within the grant made by an act
entitled "An act for a grant of lands to
the State of Kansas to aid in the con
struction of the Northern Kansas
Railway and Telegraph," approved
July twenty-third, eighteen hundred
and sixty-six, and to whom patents
have been issued therefor, but against
which persons, or their grantees, heirs
or devisees, decrees have been or may
hereafter be rendered by the United
States circuit court on account of the
priority of said grant made in the act
above entitled, the sum of two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars, or so
much thereof as shall be required for
said purpose, is hereby appropriated .
Provided, however, that no part of said
sum shall be paid to any one of said
parties until he shall have filed with
the Secretary of the Interior a copy of
the said decree, duly certified, and al
so a certificate of the judge of sid
court rendering the same to the effect
that such decree was rendered in a
bona fide controversy between a plain
tiff showing title under the grant made
in said act and a defendant, holding
the patent or holding, by deed under
the patentee, and that the decision
was in favor of the plaintiff on the
ground of the priority of the grant
made by said act to the filing, settle
ment, or purchase by the defendant or
his grantor : and said claimant shall al
so file with the said decree and certifi
cate a bill of the costs in such case,
certified by the clerk and judge of
said court. Thereupon it shall be the
duty of the Secretary of the Interior to
adjust the amount due to each defend
ant on the basis of three dollars and
fifty cents per acre for the tract his
title to which shall have failed as
aforesaid, and the costs appearing by
the bill thereof. He shall then make
a requisition upon the treasury for
the sum found to be due to such
claimant, or his heirs and davisees or
assigns, and shall pay the same to him
taking such release, acquittance, or
discharge as shall forever bar any
further claim against the United States
on account of the failure of the title as
aforesaid.

A Massachusetts woman, after in-
sficctually warning trespassers oft herj
huckleberry patch, sprinkled the bushi'
with Paris green. When complaints
be-an to come in from a lot of sick

The world came near losing its
3mnllest man the other day. His name
is General Pin. He is two years old
and weighs five pounds, Loins thu

commit suicide by jumping into tho
river with the midget in her arms. Tlwr
husband and father rescued them.
The famous live-oak tree, knowtt as,
the "Devil's Riding Whip," which is
situated three-quarters of a mile north
west of the "Devil's Mill Hopper."
near Gainesville, Fla., measures thirty
three feet and four inches and a half in
circumference, one foot from tho
ground. The tree is hollow and affords
aniplc shelter for forty hogs.
The Sumterville (Fla.) Time is
responsible for this story: "A party of
geutlemeu, recently, fishing ia a lako
fn Sumter County, had their boat: at
tacked by a monster alligator. For--tunately
they had a rifle oa board, anl
succeeded in killing the saurian. Whenr
they got the body ashore it was fotfmt
to measure fifteen feet in length fl?mt
weighed over eight hundred pounds.
Vh?n cut open a whole hog was found'
in its stomach."
After describing the repeated fail
ures of a tumble-bug to get his ball out
of a rut, the Indianapolis News addji
"Finally he plowed out a space, like A
sort of" railroad cut, with a smaller"
slope than the buggy track, and pushed
his bail triumphantly out through it.
Was that leason? It was exactly tho
course an eniueer would take. It
was exactly the course taken to raie
the great winged bulls of Nineveh.
Has a tumble-bug got a mind?"
"More than half the diseases that
now exist," sagely observes the Cin
cinnati Enquirer, "could be cured witli
pure milk diet alone. Physicians un
derstand this, and often prescribe milk
diot for at least two months. We eat
toojnuch, and inflame the blood and
weaken ihe organs of digestion. Milk
gives the stomach a rest." This is'
good euse. But some persons cannot
tako whole milk with safety, especially
milk as rich as that from Jersey cows.
For them skim-milk is best.
A few days ago Colonel John D
Washburn, of Worcester, Mass., was
the guest of a pentleman at a summer
resort hotel, lie happens to resemble
President Arthur in some respects, and
on the strength of this resemblance a
wag started the story that he was the
President. The result was that every
body in tho place crowded to the hotel
to get a look at the distinguished guest
When told of their mistake they ap
peared to be incredulous, and during
the whole of Colonel Washburn's stay
he was dogged about the streets by a
rabble of curiosity-seekers. Boston

Speaking of the American trotting
horse, Mr. F? E. Nipper says that it is
very probable thatthetrotterwill finally
surpass the running horse. Besides
mathematical evidence, he advances
the following: The trotter carries his
body more steadily with less of rise
and fall than the runner, and it seems
very reasonable that this should result
to the advantage of the trotter, when
the process of developing and adjusting
his muscles and chest snail have been
sufficiently carried on, so that the con
test between the two animals shall have
been reduced to a matter of muscular
capacity. Chicago Journal.
Although bulls are popularly sup
posed to be of Irish origin, it is unde
niably true that some of the best, or
worst, come from English literature.
Notable is the one of which Sir Robert
Godschall was guilty. A copy of an
important letter was produced in court,
the original having been lost The
cautious judge looked over his spectacles
and gravely inquired whether the copy
was taken before the original was lost
or after. It was the same gentleman
who. hearing that some one had had the
small-pox twice and died of it, ssked
whether he died of the first attack or
the second. Chicago Times.
g "'John Moranda played the hero suc
cessfully in Salt Lake City for aweek.
He earned one arm in a sling arid said
that he had hurt it by a fall. Then his
confederate, William Naylor, came for
ward with a thrilling account of having
been robbed by highwaymen, who
would have murdered him had not
Moranda gallantly fought them off.
"He's so modest that helled about his
arm," Nayloradded: "it is wounded by
a bullet The scoundrels took my last
dollar, but as soon as I get a remittance
from New York he's got to take his re
ward." Both men were lavishly enter
tained while pretending to wait for the
draft, and they found it easy to borrow
several hundred dollars before the time
came for disappearing. Chicago Trib
une The additional cost of DeLand's
chemical baking-powder over cheap
goods pays fof just so much addition at
strength. Taking this into account, it
is far more economical and. healthy
than the so called cheap powders.. It
