Di.s MOI.XKS , Iowa. April ' - ivfSpcclal.J -
There has been so much litigation over land
giants In Iowa that tire state Is becoming
famous hi Ibis respect , The much noted
case of the DCS .Molnes iher land grants ,
which occupied public attention a few wonkfi
aio , Is now succeeded by another case of
much Importance. It Involves the tltlo tu
nearly 200tOJ acres of land In northwestern
Iowa , claimed by the Chicago , Milwaukee &
St. Paul and the Sioux Oily & St. Paul rail
roads. Attorney for these companies have
been heio the past week endeavoring to have
the governor niako out final patents to the
companies for tlio lands In question. In
IbT.I , congress made u giant of lands to these
two loads ceding the lands , according to
custom , to the state of Iowa , for the state to
tiaiisfci to the roads when they had complied
with the t'Tius of the grant. Thu roads were
lint completed their lull distance within the
time specified , and so it was held that they
had not earned llio lands and the stale did
not transfer them. The case was
contested for seven limes without
special remdt till two jcars agi
when the Nineteenth general assembly relin
quished thu state's tltlo to tlio land and or
dered the governor to certify the land hack tc
the general govoinment. The lallroad com
panies thai had common Interests Irr O'Hilen
and Dickinson counties succeeded In havlnp
this action enjoined pending a final settle'
incut of the case In tbo United Stales sit-
piemo court , Thatc.iso . has just been decided
by that tribunal , .Justice .Miller amending the
decision , giantlug the lands to the lalboads
that have ueen earned by them. This block
of laud Includes about 100,000 acres , woith al
present fiom S5 to SlOaii acio. During the
long contest that has been going on a num
ber of squatters have settled upon a lai\'i
pait of these lands , who will piob.ibly feel 1
quite a hardship to bo compelled to leave
now. alter they supposed they fiad taken up
public lands.

Since Omaha , Kansas Cily ami oilier enler-

of i.illvvays , the project Is receiving f'avoiablt
attention in this city. The steep grades in

demand some butter motive power than

calls for some radical Impiovemenl , and cap

CIIICAOO , April 25. Thcro was a remarka
ble scene here last night during the perform
ance of the opera "Lucia dl Lanimoniioor"
at the Grand opera hoii'o by the Milan Grand
Opera company. The ntidlcnco was misera
bly small nnd very apathetic , and the singers
were thoroughly discouraged nt their failuio
to draw during thcircngagcment of n week.
The audience was preparing to sit through
the last act , and was nonchalontly watching
the left wine for the appearance of Lucia.
They watched In vain. The chorus stood In
mutoama/ement anil the musicians In tlio
orchestra pit pinned. Tno audience
stamped their feat and clapped their
hands while the gallery hissed icpeatedly.
The curtain was rung down , and there was a
wall of a few minutes. Finally Honor Al-
besto X.uata , manager of the commny. ruado
disappearance on the stage and said that
Miss F.va t'liinmlngs , who was singing the
loleofLuuia , had suddenly become 111 and
was too Indisposed to continue her part of
the poiformaiiee. However , the performance
would go on without her. Whllo Xarata was
sneaking Lucia's face appealed at the other
side of the singe , her eyes fastened on the
manager. When ho had concluded , she ex
claimed : "That's not so. Xot one word ho
has uttered is true. 1 want my salary. " The
face was withdrawn and the audience relapsed -
lapsed Into chceis and hisses. The cuitaln
was drawn attain and Miss Cnmmlngs , ar
rayed In the whtto costume of Lucia , walked
to the center of the stage. In her right hand
she held the bagger with which she waste
to have ended Luula's existence. She
lloinlslied It had no gentle manner and dc-
claie-d : "I have received no money from the
management this week. That Is my leason
for not singing , " and llio pilnrn donna bowed
herself uincofiilly to the left side of the stage.
Shu tinned lo make her exit , hut the curtain
was held fast by invisible forces Inside , and
she turned to tlm rlaht exit. "I'll gel oir Ihls
slagc .some way , " she exclaimed , and with a
rush she pushed the cuitaln back. She had
cot about half way tlnoiigliwheii the Invisible
force again tiled lo plu the curtain against
her exit. Thu white-robed Lucia stubbornly
persisted. Suddenly , with a jerk , the cur
tain was drawn , whether it was because ot
the dagger or Iho result ot the applause ot tlio
audience that induced the Invisible foiceto
so quickly let tlm cuitaln alone no one was
able to say. The cuitaln did open , and the
piavcyard scene , without bulled Lucia , was
done to thosalislactlon of everybody.
TIIK CHOI' PltOSPECT.
Wheat Itcportod In Hxculloiit Condi
tion Kxoept In Kaunas.
CIIICAOO , April 2) . The Farmci's Hevievv
' . . pilnt tlio following ciou review based on
it.s rotuins up to last night : The weather lias
bei-n especially l.ivoiablu during the past ten
days for .spilug wheat seeding , and has bcun
Improved to the utmost In Wisconsin , Iowa ,
Xehiaska , Minnesota and Dakota. Fully
one-halt to two-thirds of the entile acreage
In Dakota and Minnesota has alieady been
seeded , nnd under conditions which could
baldly have been excelled. Sending is pio-
ciossing favorably In Wisconsin and Iowa ,
but in Nebraska complaints ol wet weather
still continue , and what would otherwise have
been devoted to wheat has gone to llax and
oats. While the icpoits aie not jet complete
the indications aie lor a slight decrease in
acieago in Wisconsin and Minnesota , and
considerable Increase in Dakota.
The lopoits lionr the winter wheat stiles
show like variation ot Iho preceding two
weeks. The Kansas bulletins do not indi
cate any impiovemeiit. Thu outlook at the
best is that the yield will not exceed one-
thhd to one-halt ot an average ciop , In
Dickinson and other counties the failuio is
almost total , and llio lields have been plowed
under and devoted to oats arid other gialus.
The reports liom Michigan also show very
little or no impiovement. The piospocts are
lor tiom 05 to b5 per cent ol an average erop
in the different counties. Reports ot damage -
ago from the Hessian fly como liom llneo
Michigan counties and fiom Koanokc county ,
in Indiana , but the injury icpoited thus far
is not serious. The generality of the reports
liom Indiana and Ohio aie very favorable ,
while the reports from Missouri and Tennes
see continue very flattering , the weather of
thu past two weeks proving cxtrcmelv fuvoi-
ablo. With ( lie exception ol ono county in
Kentucky Johnson where theio Is the
piomlsoot not half aciop , the returns con
tinue veiy favorable.

In'no ( icpartinont of business have labor
troubles hail a mote decided effect than in
Wall street speculation. The news circulated
In Wall sticet iroiu day to day was of a char
acter snllhlonllo eatiso acry decided de
pression In quotations If that news had been
true , or the published accounts of the suc
ceeding day continued thu earlier icpoits.
The statements clictilated , however , wcio
laigcly sensational , and had little If any
foundation In fact. An Instance of this kind
was the statement that came over private
wires from Chicago ( hiring the week to the
effect that a laigo turnltmc factory was burn-
In ? and that the strikers bad succeeded In
preventing both the lite drpaitment and the
police fiom approaching tin * binning build-
inc. This Is only an Illustration of the chai-
actor of the news that was distributed from
hour to hour dining the gieatcr part of the
week. The reason for Its failure to affect
piices niateilally was a disbelief as
to the truthfulness of the statements enloi-
talned by holders of stocks , and the fear on
the part of bear operators to sell shoitln
largo amounts. The gicatcr the .short Inter
est the moio tempting becomes the Invitation
to the bulls to Ining sbout a squeeze , and
sale : ) , theiefoio , lor short account are made
with extreme caution , and covering Is made
quickly boloio the losses become excessive.
Skirmishing of this kind for stock profits has
furnished during the past week the principal
poi lion of the business done. The fact Is ap
parent that the bulk of the stocks on the
street are held by strong parties who have
faith In hlglior quotations as soon as the
labor troubles are settled , , and who consc-
quontly relnse to bo frightened Into selling at
anything like the current ligures.
The dullness of the stock market has not
been equaled since last sumiiid.tlio total sales
lor the wool ; being only ! W'2,000 bhates. It
should be noted , however , that there were
only live business days. The cxtiemo
fluctuations for the entire \\eck vvcie gcn-
01 ally within a lange of less than 3 per cent.
Monday's business resulted In a decline of
small fractions ; Tuesday and Wednesday
Iheioeio advances of fractions ; Thursday ,
small declines , and Saturday regular changes.
But while the net result is generally m favor
of gains , the advances are , in most cases , lor
less than I per cent. Ot the week's business
four slocks LacKawanna , Union Pacific ,
St. Paul and Lake Shore , in the order named ,
with sales in cacli case rangine between
111,570 and 04,700 shares contributed 50 per
cent.
cent.While the bears aicnfrald to sell the mar
ket short , excent in small amounts , they are
all mo-jt earnest In their efforts to depress
prices by tire circulation ol misleading and
false news. During the past week it was
mysteriously announced through the medium
of local news issues that a leading railroad
was to isbiiu , within a slioit time , SIO-
000,000 additional bonds , the statement being
accompanied by the assertion that the patties
giving the information declined to give the
name of the load , but insinuated that it was
the New "i'orlc Central. Dining the
latter pait of the v > cck it became
known that the name ot the road was
the Chicago , Kock Island As Pacific ,
and that the 810,000,000 bonds weie to be is
sued lor the purposed , extending its lines a
tiling that it has been doing for years and
years past , and will doubtless continue to do
as Ions : ns it builds extensions. No one is
surprised at the announcement when the
whole stoiy is told. With the extensions to
bo made by tno Hock Island , and others
already announced by the Northwestern and
St. Paul , it is evident a good many miles aie
to be added to the total railroad mileage of
this country within a short time.

VAI.LUY , Neb.u April Ul. Dispatches from
Washington etvi tU the cheering Intelli
gence that the lionso committee on agricul
ture has authorized Chairman Hatch to re
port favorably the bill to iceulato the tralllc
in fraudulent butter , In substantially the
same form as framed by the Dalrymens' as
sociation , a summary ot the provisions ot tire
bill also appearing in the dlsnatches.
The bill is just what the dairymen ot Ne
braska in common with those of all other-
states want , need and have been and still
me , working tor. Its provisions are Just ,
nnd every consideration of right and justice
to the producer as well as those of safety to
consumers ot dahy products demands that
the bill become a law , Unt , llkoovciy other-
blow at fraud , It Is meeting stienuoiH oppo
sition.
Nowjls the tlmo to attend to our Interests
by bringing the attention ofjour congressmen
to it , and showing them llio necessity of Us
passage. Let every dairyman in .Nebraska
write lo his repiesoiitatlvo in congress , and
to members from other slates whom ho may
know , in gtng them to vote for this bill. If
wo do not look after our own business no one
else will , and our icpiesentatlvcs In Wash
ington might like some statesmen neater
home bo "mlslntoimed and deluded" ( ? )
Into voting for something tire people did not
want.
It a few thousand of us tell them by per
sonal conespondeiico what wo do want there
will ho no doubt about It. A large pait of the
time in the Nebiaska Dairymen's ' convention
at Fremont last December was devoted to the
especial featuio ot the Industry , nnd a com

The Acadian Wild Man.
Down in the rich alluvial delta of Lou
isiana there winds to the sea a .slow brown
bayou called the Torrcbonne , from the
fertility of the black loamy land through
which rt Hows. Hig sugar plantations no
along its course , but near the month are
the homes of many Acadians , for this
was one of the streams along which they
settled in Louisiana.
They cultivate little rice farms and or
ange groves , and live in summer upon
their lishing and , tire produce of their gar
dens in winter upon the game that
abounds in the marsjies. Since their ex
ile they , like thoj bourbons , have forgotten -
ton nothing and hayes learned nothing.
Their language , customs and manners
are identically Uic same as the day when
With the turn tit the tiilo the ships sailed out
ol the haibor.
And the coasts' of their beloved land grew
misty with distance.
In among these thriving little farms is a
largo tract of land , a melancholy , weedy
waste. Great forest trees have grown
up in the midst of what were fair fields
that waved with golden rice. Fences
and boundaries' ' Ion ago rotted away.
The ditches are chocked with grass , and
.toting willows grow along their lino.
The whole is VniiUed with the tan lo
growth of the lavish vegetation brought
lip from this fertile soil by the tropical
suns and wild rains. Sometimes at dusk
you will catclr a glimpse of a bent figure
skulking away from thu door of a ruined
cottage whoso chimneys have fallen in ,
vyhose roof is a green pulpy mass of
lichen , and whose wall totter forward tea
a fail. Tire neighbors will explain that
it is only old Allumlin , the wild man.
If you will lie in wait about this hour
of the day , concealed in the underbrush ,
you may catoh a closer glimpse of him.
Ilo looks seventy , but is not really so old.
His once tall form is bent , anil ho walks
with the quick , creeping movements of
an animal. Long gray hair hangs in
filthy matted locks to his waist and
mingles with his great swooning beard.
Two largo dark ojes gaze out from a
wrinkled , pallid face through the rough
hair with a glare like a cat. His hands
are like rough , knotted claws , and his
whole body has a growth of coarse hair
upon it. "His only covering is a pair of
brown blankets , through which a hole
lias boon torn to admit his head , and ho
creeps silently away every night into the
forest swarnns. This is the story llio
neighbors toll :
Thirty years ago tlroro was no more
prosperous farm in the parish than that
of Etienne Allandin , and no more
respected man limn jts rich young
owner. Ilo was alone in the world with
the exception of some distant cousins ,
but his friends were many , and he was
betrothed to a pretty young girl who waste
to marry him rrr the next March.
His face was plain , except for his
splendid dark eyes , but ho had a warm ,
giiiillo heart , and was a fine parli.so . Unit
ho would not hayo iiskcd any parent
around for twenty miles for their daugh
ter in vain. According to old Acadian
usage , ho built a now house Unit winter ,
spending lovingcnre njipp thg nust that
was to hold his liftlo mute.
The wedding day approached. The
happv bridegroom rnauo ready the
murrlugo corboillo , as was usual , only
his gifts were the most sphmdid overseen
irr that simple neighborhood. The wed
ding gown vvis of real white silk , the
veil , wreath of wax orange ( lowers , with
the white shoes and gloves , had como all
the way from New Orleans.
Ilo rose early that lovely March morn
ing and arrayed himself carefully in Ins
black , shiny clothes , casting tender ,
amused glances at the little tominino
garmentsHying on- that pride ot every
Acadian woman's heart , a Dliimp , strong
bed with milled mllovvs. Ho was mak
ing trp a parcel of tllcso garments ready
to bo carried to the bridq whim an cirn-
harassed nnd 'Sympathetic delegation
canio to inform him that the bndo had
disappeared. Shu had eloped with a
handsome who
young good-for-miiight
had bccn.rcfuscd by Jieo rwrents.und had
left not a word for Irur betrothed.
Allandin stood like a man stunned ; then
ho turned every ono out , and shirt him
self in with his ruined happiness ,
Soon the nolghnorrt whispered that the
now house was effing and Allandin had
gene away to tho/swamp. From that day
no never spoke to. any human being. All
day the wan hid an f Iris house , mid with
nightfall wont to the forest , and like a
wild beast sought his food. CruwlKh ,
lizards , liold mice , and birds , oaten raw ,
were his sustenance. His hair ami beard
grow long and tangled , his clothes fell to
pieces , and n blanket bccumo his only
garb. In all these thirty vear.s ho has
never spoken , ami now ho , knows no hu
man language. His only sounds are a
fqw inartiuruto cries , and ho shuns his
kind like a hunted animal. The sympa
thetic Acadians have never disturbed him ,
and at nights when they heal- faint echo
from the swamps of a wild human cry ,
they loolc sully tit each other and say :
"Crc3t o paurro Allandin cat ! "

Tlio celebration at this church com

principal feature of the day was the pon-

wore filled with worshipers. Tlio bishop
was attended by Father Kelley as assist
ant priest , Fathers Quick and McDonnell
as deacons of honor and Fathers Power
arrd McCarthy deacons of tire mass , and
Father Carroll , master of ceremonies.
The marble altar was decorated with

first time red soutanes , with cardinal
saslies , lace surplice * and purple velvet
capes with gold trimmings. The sermon
was preached byKov. F. McDonnell , and

The altars of this pretty little church
presented a handsome appearance. Thov
wore beautified with miscellaneous
llowers and creeping vines , tlio latter
I wining gracefully around the miniature
columns which sustains the middle pedi
ment of tlio surface. Lights were ju
diciously placed near the niches and
amid the foliage , producing a pretty of-

The interior of tlio frame tabernacle is
not adapted to ornament unless of great

therefore , was ullected , unless the intro
duction ol two beautiful and varied
banks of llowers , 'one of vyhieh was
placed in front and on cither side of the

of a prelude , llio do\ology , an invo

Wo n dor nil Success of the Mcndcls-
Bolin-Hauk Concert.
A larger , more cultured and thoroughly
appreciative audience never gathered in
this cily than that which greeted Mine ,
Hank and the Mondolssolrns in the E\po <
sition building last Saturday evening ,
The cflect of the presence of such an im-
inciiso company of intolllgont and atten
tive listeners must hnvo been Inspiring to
the artists ; certain it is , they were all in
their happiest moods , and probably never
give : tlicir selections In grander style , or
rnoro completely captivated and en
raptured their hearers ,
A material change in the personnel ol
llio Mendolssohns has boon nrado since
their appearance here last season ,
Mr. Blumontlial having taken thu
place of FritGicso as col list ; Mr.
Selrudo having returned to his old posi-
lion of llulc soloist , and Mr. Nohan
Franks having succeeded his brother ,
Sam Franks , as solo violinist , Tlio olub'.s
concerted members , Beethoven's "quin
tette in C , " Mendelssohn's "quartette in
K tint , " and the old , wonr , and yet never
fresh and bright Minuetlo by Bocchorini
were rendered with tire delicate shading
nnd expression that only this company
of artists can givo. Their solo work was
characterised by great purity of tone ,
line execution and much feeling , Space
will not admit of details. Sullico it to say
the honors wore equally divided and the
audience dollghtcd. Tlio violincell solo
by Louis IHumenburg recalled tire
wonderful mastery over that instrument
exercised by his predecessor , Gioso. But
Mr. B. lost nothing by comparison , lie
is rv young man and a pronounced artist.
The appeal ane Ot Mine. Hank , lite
star of the evening , was greeted with a
profound round round of nnplnttso , Her
voice was in excellent condition anil she
sang with a sincerity of purpose and a
carefulness of execution that wore wholly
admirable. The beautiful air , "Angels
ever bright and fair , " was given wilh
fervent strength and earnest devotion ,
and fully merited the appluuso it re
ceived. In response to an encore she
sang the Scotch ballad "I'm O'er Young
to Marry Yot. " Her second number was
tire celebrated cchosong "La Styrienno , "
from "Mignon. " In this she displayed
great volume of tone , wonderfully sirs
tained , brilliant execution and a perfect
method of phrasing , that fully aroused
llio enthusiasm of bur audience. She
was recalled again and again , uach time
responding in a , most pleasing manner.
Great disappointment was foil by all
present on account of the non-appear-
unco ot Mi s Edith Edwards , the soprano
of tlio Mondelssohns. This lady , though
comparatively a young sin cr , has made
for herself quite a rcpiit-ition , and tlio
audience was anticipating a rare treat.
Tlio tact is she did not learn until a late
hour that Mine. Hank was to sing , and
positively declined to appear. Finan
cially the concert was a success , there
being present about 0,000 people.
