Secretary La mar has aent the Northern Pacific land question to the attorney general for a construction of the joint resolution of May 30,1887. In the letter transmitted the case to the attorney general the sec retary proponds '.lie following question: Does the joint resolution above refer red to authorize a second indemnity of lands provided by the charter of 1884 V Second, if you decide the above question in the affirmative, will you answer this: Can lands in the first belt be taken for losses the state or territory in which I the indemnitv lands lie? The matter has been referred toSolici- j tor General Jenks, whose view on this I matter have been expressed while as- I sislant secretary of the interior. This i dis|>osition is very satisfactory to the officials of the road as it is believed the decision will lie in favor of the validity of the second indemnity withdrawi. Gen. McNanght, general counsel of the Northern Pacific, has had a conference with tne solicitor general iu regard to both questions involved. However the questions may be decided both the sec retary of the interior and his law ad visors express the opinion that pur chasers in the second indemnitv belt can find relief under the law of 1887 the same as if these lands w«re in the first in demnity withdrawal. r | J, r ] j j Knjoy Lire.

It was only the other I A V day, again, when a cook wood la I .1 ablaze, and stove and all are blown in air to serve this stupid craze. With clothes on fire l ' and tortured limbe a cook is cooked in- fl deed, bnt a certain cure in such a case is v the real friend in need. For burns aud <1 scalds and blisters too, it cures them to ^ perfection, but be sure to uae it every time I in accordance with direction. Yes, f strictly in accordance with directions. . Scores of people daily brought in con tact with heat, steam, boiling water and combustibles are hourly injured by some ■ mishap in the nature of a burn or scald, j and tho usan ds have been cured of such j by the beat known remedy for the cure of pain. The principle of how it works ex plains Itself. It acts as a counter-irritant on the surface injured, gently drawing out the heat caused by the burn, while it soothes the pain, helping nature in the healing process, and a cure follows. It is a specific for pains of this kind and should be kept handy where fire and steam are. But SS a precaution to its use where aeriao* horns or scalds occur, and that suffering say not be intensified through tgnoraM% nh sarafully directions for its aae Mosam»fln« every bottle.

Bash, paymaster in the United States army, is iu Washington on military orders Maj. Bat-li, it will Le remembered was tbe paymaster who was robbed last summer near Douglas, Wy. T., of $7,:HM) in government funds while en route to pay the troops of Fort Me Kinney, Wy. T. The robliery was made the subject ofan official court of inquiry at Fcrt Robinson, and pending the set tlement of the amount due to the govern j ment Maj. Bash was ordered to Wash- j ington to await further orders. The rob her, one Charles Parker, was captured during the summer and is now serving a term in the Wyoming penitentiary. A I peculiar feature of the case was that Parker himself was waylaid and robbed of the money which he himself had stolen by two frontier desperadoes, who represented themselves as United States marshals. So that, although the origin al criminal was secured, none of the funds were recovered. Maj. Bash has applied to congress for relief, bills having been introduced in Isitli the sen ate and house to that end. t'na bill | I > ■ : I ' 1 l ' fl v <1 ^ I f . ■ j j The papers aecoaipanyiug t'na bill seem to completely exonerate Maj Itwh 1 fr .111 anv charge of careless ness in hand J ling any of the public funds intrusted to * his care. It is made manifest, from a let- 1 ter from Chiel Pajn.ahler Teirell of the » department of the Platte, that before 1 leaving Cheyenne, on his trip north to !l Fort McK:um-y. Bash made preHMcnt I efiorts to procure a safe iu which to earn : » the public funds. Failing lo secure one ( from the United States government, he ' applied to the local express company and was eqially unsuccessful. If he had obtained the saf- whico is usually giv«n j to jiayuiasters for the protection ot Mo ir funds on long trips, instead of thai which be was obliged lo take,there ism. question that the money would have gone safely through to its destination. In addition to this, the esivrt furnished for the protecti*n 01 the monev was greatly Inadequate 10 tbe dangerous character of tho trip. The tiddi ional fact that the funds were bnlkv, . us<>• ing largely of small billsaud silver, mad • it impossible for Maj. Bash to conceal 1 them upon his pciaous. (Vinmunie.tli >n from Gen.
