United Workmen In the liakotas. From Carl Gcrncr, Grand Master of the A. O. U.. W. in North ana South Dakota, it is ..learned that the order throughout his jurisdiction is in an es pecially encouraging condition. There are about. 3.000 members in the two States; new. lodges are being instituted. ap,d .tho membership rapidly increased. Financially the orilcr is in excellent condition. The Grand' Lodge' is out of debt and has considerable money in its treasury. With but two or three ex ceptions the subordinate lodges arc in equally gdod shape. Assessments arc fewer than, in older states, the dcatli. rate being much smaller. All assess ments are met promptly and fully. The Ciop Belongs to tbe Mortgagor.

On a motion for the Court to direct a verdict for the de fendant Judge .Smith granted the mo tion, holding that Mr. Fuller had a right to the use of the" farm during the year of. redemption.

Sensational Keports From Washington About "JCebraska Affairs. The St. Louis Republic In its Wash ington bureau prints the following: There is a. report in circulation that the Supreme Court of the United States has J decided that Mr. Boyd, who was elected by the Democrats of Nebraska Governor of that State in the fall of 1890, and .subsequently turned out of office by the. Supreme Court of that State on the ground, that he was ineligible because of an imperfection in his citizenship, is eligible, and that at tho time of his elec tion as Governor of Nebraska was. a bona lido citizen of the United States. This will make Mr. Boyd Governor. It is very difficult to get a Supreme Court opinion in advance of. its being ren dered, but your .correspondent learns, oii what he "believes to be sufficient authority to warrant the statement, that the highest court-in the land has, decided .that Boyd was eligible for the; Governorship and was entitled to- thatj office. . ; Nebraska Mortgage.

In these six months but thirteen Sheriff's deeds on farm prop erty wero given. The city mortgage, filings amounted to SH2.748.50, and the. -releases SSO.132.63.

Walters, the expert hired by Blaine County to investigate the office of the late Treasurer, C. W. Aiken, has. made his report and finds a shortage of only S1404.38, instead of 32,700, as had been currently reported. Mr; Walters also expresses his opinion that, the shortage was occasioned, moro by Mr. Aikin's carelessness in keeping his books than by his intention to filch from the county coffers. The county will un doubtedly have to stand this loss, on ac count of "there being a flaw in the ex tension of the bond. Reroverlne; From a Broken Back.
