Bismarck. Jan. 27.— A small Mandan paper
Publishes to-night, what purports to be a j
special telegram from Washington, stating
that the nomination of Jud.ro Church as gov
ernor will, in all probability, be rejected by |
the senate, as grave charges have been made j
against him, which, it is stated, will at once
be investigated. Last night Judge Church I
sent the following telegram to Senator Piatt: i
Are there are any charges against me': It j
to, what are they? (hSUI
In reply to this telegram Air. Church re- i
ceived to-day the following dispatch:
Washington, i). C, Jan. 27.— Hon. L. K. ;
Church: In reply to dispatch to Senator j
Piatt: no written charge, but oral statements |
charging intemperance. S. M. Ccllom.
Replying to this immediately; Judge !
Church sent the following message:
"I thank you for telegram. Statements are
perfectly absurd. 1 ' refer yon to all the
people of Huron, where I live; every
one who knows me in Dakota, President
Cleveland, Col. Laniout, Judge Maynard, ot
the comptroller's office at Wnsh
iugton; any number of gentlemen j
in the New York legislature that j
you desire to inquire of during the years of
11583, 1884 and 1665, including Gen. Hustead.
Gen. Curtis, Fred Kruse, George Z. Irwin,
all Republicans and cow members. I will
come to Washington at once if you desire.
Answer. L. K. Church.
•JUDGE CHURCH RECEIVED A IIEPLV
to the effect that i: was not necessary for him
to come to Washington. ' This correspondence
over the wire was shown your correspondent
last night when he called on Judge Church in
bis apartment at the Sheridan to question
him regarding the telegram in the Mar.dan
paper. In answer to the several questions
put to him he said:
Those charges are ridiculously absurd. I
have been on the supreme bench for fifteen
mouths, and if these verbal statements are
true they can be easily' proven by the person
who makes them. I will not allow my name
to be hawked about the country
in this way. nor sit down and
quietly allow myself to be so miamously
lied about for the governorship of Dakota or
any other office. The charges said to have
been made against me are absolutely false
and without foundation and I have sent suf
ficient proof to Washington to that effect
That is all I have to say.
The judge was cool and determined, and
there could Le no doubt that he meant what
he said. He is evidently getting tired of the
dilly dallying at Washington, and naturally
enough be resents the undesii ed criticism
that is being given him. He leaves to-mor
row night for Huron to hold court at Cham
berlain. Tee Aitch.
FIVE WHITE STEEK*.
A Funny Case in Which the money
lender Got the Worst of It.
Special to the Globe.
Dcs Moines, la., Jan. 27. — Application
was made to the governor to-day for papers
lor the extradiction of one John Stehr. from
lowa to Kansas. Stehr (pronounced Steer),
is reported to have been in the habit of bor
rowing teams from his neighbors in Kansas.
I taking them to the nearest town, represent
ing that he owned them and mortgaging them
to parties for from $100 to $200. He would
then drive the team back to the owner, keep
ing his fraduleut transaction quiet, and then
made awa»- to other parts. Finally, in a
moment of over confidence, inspired probably
from the ease with which he had escaped
punishment, he wont to a shrewd money
lender in Washington county, and secured a
loan of several hundred dollars by
giving in >•' turn a mortgage upon five
white steeis he claimed to have on
bis farm. jit tho expiration of
the stipulated time the money-lender,
becoming uneasy at the continued delays
of Stehr, repaired to the farm of the latter
to make inquiry why the money had not boon
paid. Stehr was conspicuous by his absence.
'the man who had loaned him the money
was, of course, very abrupt, and, producing
Bis chattel mortgage, demanded the five
white steers. The wife, who evidently knew
about the transaction, took the document.
looking it over carefully, and with a radiant
smile stepped back, and pointing to five
promising boys, calmly told him they were
the steers covered by his mortgage. The
man bad utilized bis name to procure the
loan, and thus verg sdroitly deceived his
victim. Learning that Stehr was living in
lowa, the money-lender swore out a warrant
lor Stebr's arrest on a charge of having pro
cured money -fraudulently, and sent an
officer after him. Gov. Larrabee regarded
the criminal as an original genius, but issued
the necessary papers for his extradition.
DAKOTA LEGISLATURE.
Stock ."Matters— The Court Question
—Body Snatching.
Special to the Globe.
Bismarck, Dak.. Jan. 27.— T0-day has been
the quietest yet in the lower house. A joint
resolution was passed asking the ap
pointment of a committee to confer
with a like committee from the Mon
tana legislature to devise means for
the suppression and prevention of contagious
diseases among live stock. The special com
mittee to which was referred the bill asking
the removal of the United States court from
Yankton to Mitchell did not report. It is ex
pected it will do so to-morrow, however,
and that the bill will be put on its passage.
It it is there will bo a lively fight, but it is tho
general impression that the bill will
pass the house. In "the council the
day was more interesting. Dr. Collins, of
Grand Forks, introduced a billfor an act en
titled an act for the encouragement of an
atomical science and for other purposes. The
bill provides that any physician or surgeon of
the territory, duly qualified, may have in his
possession
HUMAN DEAD BODIES
for the purpose of anatomical inquiry or. in
struction: that any sheriff, coroner, keeper
of a county poor house, public hospital,
county jail or state prison, or mayor or coun
cil of any city, must surrender the dead
bodies of such persons as are required to be
buried at public expense to any qualified
physician. The bill was dubbed the body
snatching act by several members of the
council, and a heated discussion arose over
it. Dr. Collins said he introduced it for the
purpose of protecting the members of the
medical profession; that there were several of
them now serving sentences in Western pris
ons because dead human bodies were found
in their possession. The bill was made a
special order for to-day. Some fun is ex
pected when it comes up for discussion.
President Matthews had a bill introduced fix
ing the Tuesday before the last Saturday in
June, 18S7, for the people of the territory to
express their opinion on the division Question
by ballot. It is probable that this bill wi.l I
meet 6trong opposition. This was the on
business of importance transacted by the I
bouse.
WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE.
An Attempt to 9 rotect Female Vir- j
tue— The lSegular Grist of Bill*.
Special to the Globe.
Madison. Wis.. Jan. 27.— Following the j
worthy example set by the Michigan legisla- '
ture last week, Mr. Ware, of Fond dv Lac, I
introduced two bills in the senate to-day for
the suppression of houses of ill fame. They
are aimed particularly against the so-called
dance houses existing among lumber and
mining camps in the northern part of the
state. They are drawn up about the same as
those passed by the Michigan legislature, the
penalty provided for ■ abducting or enticing
girls to any cf these dens being five years in
states prison: and that provided for helpers
and frequenters of the places being equally
severe. It is hardly possible that there wiii j
be any opposition whatever to the passage of i
the bill, and it is thought that the combined
action of the two states iv the
matter will result in almost entirely
wiping out the infamous dives aimed at. The
bills allow any party to make complaint
against a suspected house without giving the
name of the occupant. Other bills introduced
were: ■ Providing for the care of state insane
patients in county asylums," and providing
for the protection of fish and game. In the
assembly
' BILLS WERE INTRODUCED:
Preventing a lien from being "placed on
property for work performed at the behest of
the tenant: providing that the bailee, who
' ghall convert any chattels In bis charge, shall
be guilty cf larceny and shall be .punished
accordingly; amending the revised statutes
in regard to liens upon timber; providing
that the president, secretary, treas
urer and other officers of town insur
ance companies be on the board of directors;
providing that ballots after being counted
must be sealed up. and that the election in
spectors shall be required to sign their names
to the indorsement in open meeting: provid
ing that every action for recovery of -land
sold for taxes must be begun within one year
from the date of the sale; providing that
common school funds shall be apportioned to
the counties in proportion to the amount con
tributed by these counties; punishing false
pretenses in obtaining certificate of registra
tion and false pedigrees: providing that
any married woman may be a witness in a
suit the same as if single. The bill relating
to the repeal of the law giving female suffrage
in school matters was indefinitely postponed.
Dresser in Jail.
Special to the Globe.
Cedar Rapids, la., Jan. Clarence P.
Dresser, the newspaperman under arrest for
criminal libel, was taken out of the hands of
Marshal Francis' to-day on a mittimus and
lodged in the c.->uuty jail. Bail was offered,
but Dresser refused to accept his freedom
and went to jail. :He had been given the run
of the city by the marshal, and Riekel & Bull,
the prosecutors, objected. At the "county
jail he is meeting courteous treatment,
and seems to be making life a banquet. Gen- :
eral sympathy has turned toward the prisoner.

Starving Eli* Family.
St. Cloud, Jan. 27. Some days ago in- j
formation of insanity was filed in the pro- j
bate court against John Zenner, of the town j
Luxemburg. Yesterday Charles Zeis was
sent to the place to bring Zenner to this city j
and have him examined. Zies and several
neighbors of the unfortunate man went to the J
butter's house and fouud him, his wife and a |
young chlid in the most abject misery. The j
wife and child had no clothes to wear except
a few rags, an 1 Zenner Himself was little bet- i
ter off. He was brought to St. Cloud, but the
wife and child could not be taken away, as
they had no clothes to protect them. " Mrs. '■
Zenner appeared very much afraid of her
husband and could hardly be induced to !
sneak. it seems that Zenner had intended
literally to starve his wife and child. Neigh- |
bors have taken food and clotties to the j
house,' but he always refused to receive j
thorn.
Call It a Bonanza.
Special to the Globe. ' '/ :
Baldwin, Wis., Jan. 27.— discovery of
iron ore at Wilson, nine miles east of here in
St. Croix county, is creating considerable of
a stir in these parts. Prospecting began last
summer, and specimens of the ore fouud as
sayed from 30 to 40 percent, of metallic iron. i
The tire is a brown hematite, aud it is rarely
obtained with more than 50 per cent, of {
metallic iron, though it is claimed that this ]
will assay more. At least four companies of <
Eastern capitalists have already been formed j
for developing the mines, and as soon as the j
snow is gone will commence operations. It
remains to be seen whether the miuiug of ;
this ore can be made profitable, but the par
ties interested arebujing up all the land they
can in the vicinity, and are sanguine that :
they have a bonanza.

Hudson, Wis., Jan. 27. — Many people here
are kicking loud and hard against the lack of
accommodations furnished by the Chicago,
St. Paul. Minneapolis A: Omaha railroad for
travelers to and from St. Paul during the car
nival season. The greatest trouble was ex
perienced on Thursday of last week and yes

the carnival tickets became exhausted full I
fare was charged. Passenger Agent Teasdale j
is authority lor the statement that the addi- i

Pfrham, Minn., Jan. 27.— Thomas Cassidy,
a shingle sawyer in the Tnppman mill, north
of town, was struck in the face with a shingle
block on Tuesday afternoon, knocking out
his teeth, crushing his left cheek bone and
also crushing in the skull over the left eye. j
He lived until 6p. m. yesterday, when word
of his death was brought here and his brother. j
A. B. Cassidy, a telegraph operator at Albert j
Lea, Minn., was sent for, who arrived this
evening. The deceased had been married
but ten days to a young lady from Canada. |
He was also one of the unfortunates who
were badly wounded in the capture of Kiel

Washburn at Washington.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, Jan. 27.— Ex-Congressman
Washburn has done a good day's work to-day.
This morning he went before the senate com
mittee on commerce and made a long argu
ment. His success appears in the fact that
the committee, with the exception of Senator
Conger, of Michigan, voted to make a unani
mously favorable report. Mr. Washburn
then went over to the house aud had a con
sultation with Mr. Randall in regard to the
appropriation for the Minneapolis postoffice
building.ln this errand Washburn was equally
successful. Mr. Randall gave him his word
that he should not oppose the bill upon its
passage in the senate. Mr. Ranaall had in
sisted up to to-day that but $75,000 be allowed
in this year's civil sundry bill. The senate
practically allowed this.
The Winona Bridge.
Washington, Jan. 27.— Congressman
White received to-day from the secretary of
war a report from Maj. MeKenzie in regard
to the proposed bridge at Winona. There are
a number of difficult problems to be settled
with regard to this bridge, and it is doubtful
if the house has time to give it much con
sideration. Maj. McKenzie's letter is as fol
lows: "This bridge crosses an unnavigable
slough, which is closed at the head by the
government. The city of Winona, which
owns the ferry and its approaches, desires a
bridge to facilitate traffic on the opposite
side, the approach to which by ferry at low
water is difficult and circuitous. In order to
reach the navigable water on the main chan
nel, the bridge will have to project into, the
river. This will interfere with rafters, who
pass the Winona bridge with half their rafts
tied up at the foot of Island 72, and go back
for the other piece, but on the whole it does
not appear that the interests of through
navigation will be injured."

Northern Pacific Suits.
Special to the Globe.
Washington. Jan. 27.— Neither Secretary
Lamar nor Secietary Muidrow are at all satis
fled with the way United States Attorney
Smith is conducting the timber trespass suits
against the Northern Pacific in Montana, and
they think there is reason to believe that
Smitn is acting more in the interest of the
road than of the government. To-day Col.
Muidrow addressed a letter to Attorney Gen
eral Garland protesting against the War in
which the suits in Montana are being con
ducted. He says: "I am not satisfied with
Attorney Smith's appeal from Judge Gal
braith's decision that the United States and
Northern Pacific are not tenants in common
on uusurveyed timber lands. '- Judge Gal
bralth's decision accords with the views of
the department on this question. I cannot
understand why Smith should have appealed
1 from the decision of Judge Galbraith.
This , department would prefer that
such prompt measures be taken as you
deem necessary to inform Smith of the view
of the department on this question and fully
I protect the government. In connection with
this matter let me ask what disposition has
been made of our letter of Nov. 13, 1335, re
questing the institution of legal proceedings
against the Montana Improvement company.
Criminal suit has been ordered against

The I. arse Tract of Ken) Estate
Called lUiii:ie»oia.. to be Occupied
by Only Citizens of the United
State*.
If the United States senate has received a
surprise in the Saulsbury bill, requiring for
eign immigrants to have resided in the
United States five years, and then to pass
successfully through an examination as to
their knowledge of the English language,
before they can become naturalized, the
Minnesota senate received a similar one
yesterday, when Senator Edwards intro
duced his bill to restrict the ownership of.
real estate in Minnesota to American citi
zens only. It was simply .read and re
ferred, and while the senate looked upon it
with open-mouthed astonishment nothing
was said, for the day of discussion is not
until the bill reaches committee of the
whole.
"That it shall be unlawful," the bill com
mences, "for any person or persons not citi
zens of the United States, or who have not de
clared their intention to become such citi
zens, or any corporation not created by or
under the laws of the United States, or of
some state or territory of the United States,
to hereafter acquire, hold or own real estate,
etc., in this state, except such as may be
acquired by devise or inheritance or in good
faith in the ordinary course of justice in the
collection of debts hereafter created. * Pro
vided, that the prohibition of this section
shall not apply in such cases, us the right to i
hold lands in the United States secured
by existing treaties to the citizens or subjects
of foreign countries, which rights shall con
tinue to exist so long as such treaties are iv
force."
Thus the first section explains what the
effect of the bill will be, viz: American lands
for Americans only: absolute necessity of
naturalization to possess such land; rights
ot aliens according to existing treaties to be
respected. But the true intent of the per
son who drafted the bill is best indicated
by the following, showing what its effect
would be upon the great rich railroad, real
estate and investment syndicates which
may not be citizens tvf the United States,
but may be developing the resources of the
state by the investment of foreign capital:
Section 2. That no corporation or associa
tion, more than 20 per cent, of the stock of
which may be owned by any person or per
sons,corporation or corpoations,associatiou or
associations, not citizens of the United States
shall hereafter acquire, or shall hold or own
any real estate hereafter acquired in this
state. ./;.'■
Sec. 3. That no corporation other than
those organized for the construction or oper
ation of railways, canals or turnpikes shall
acquire, hold or own over 5,000 acres of land
to be hereafter acquired in this state: and no
railroad, canal or turnpike corporation shall
.hereafter acquire, hold or own lands so here
after acquired in this state other than may
be necessary for the proper operation of its
railroad, canal or turnpike except such lands
as may have been granted to it by act of con
gress or ot the legislature of this state.
Here, then, is the true purpose of the bill.
It is to prevent railroad companies from ob
taining a foot of land other than is actually
needed for tracks, depots, . freight houses,
sidetracks, yards, etc., and it aims to pre
vent the much-fought land grant system
from being continued, for while the bill
does not meddle with the grants already re
ceived, it excepts only "such lands m, have
been granted, etc." The really startling
features of the bill, however, is contained
in the concluding section, which says all
land acquired contrary to the provisions of
this bill is to be forfeited to the state. The
section reads:
That all property acquired, held, or owned
in violation of the provisions of this act shall
be forfeited to the state, and it shall be the
duty of the attorney general to enforce such
forfeiture by due process of law.
Doubtless the bill, which has been very
loosely drawn, and was handed, so Senator
Edwards says, to the introducer, was not
carefully read by Col. Edwards, or he
might have seen that a shrewd lawyer
would make profitable use of the frequently
recurring phrases "hereafter acquired,"
"to be hereafter acquired," which had been
inserted to prevent die bill from applying
to any land so acquired in the past. It is a
question whether the bill should attempt to
meddle with property already acquired,
whether it will not be a dead letter so far
as it applies to present transactions, and
whether its application will not always be
to the future, and as the future cannot be
brought into litigation, such a law, if made,
must always be nothing more than a dead
letter.

The joint committee on apportionment met
yesterday forenoon and organized by the
election of Senator Hall as chairman. The
secretary was instructed to get all possible
information in relation to population, statis
tics and other matters bearing upon the sub
ject. Chairman Rogers, of tne house com
mittee, does not believe there will be any !
changes in the district lines, owing to the op
position of the senators. They have been
elected for four years, and a change in dis
trict lines would legislate them out of office
at the end of two years. Mr. Rogers is of the
opinion that additional members of the house
will be apportioned to those counties or dis
tricts so entitled because of increase of popu
lation.
The amendment to the act creating the
park commission of Minneapolis, introduced
Dy.Mr. Shuler, is to authorize the commis
sion to sell park lands. " There is some oppo
sition to it in' the delegation. It gives the
commission power to sell park lands. Mr.
Comstock , does ' not believe in giving such
powers to the commission. There are some
lands that are not eligible and these should
be sold," but they should be specified, he says,
and the power of the commission to sell
should stop at this.
The bill introduced by Mr. Johnson, of
Swift, to reorganize the State Agricultural
society provides for an appropriation of 521,

state has appropriated about $93,000. and
the society's profits have amounted to $26,
--000 for 1885 and " 18S6. This" leaves a defi
ciency or balance of $21,000, which the bill
provides for. The $10 honorary membership i

A Startling Fail.
It is not commonly known that a large
proportion of the rheumatism and neuralgia
extant is traceable directly to the diseased
condition or imperfect action of the kidneys
and liver; therefore a remedy which cures
the resulting disease must have found and
smitten the first cause. Many persons using
Athlopiioros for rheumatism and neuralgia
have been- surprised to find that chronic
disorders of the liver and kidneys have also
been greatly relieved and they have written
for an explanation. The fact is, that the
remedy acts directly on these organs,
cleansing them from, all irritating sub
stances and regulating their action. Taken
in conn action with Athlophoros Pills this
is, without exception, the most valuable
kidney and liver remedy in the world, and
will cure a large portion of those who have
these diseases.
Charles F. Griffin, Staurt, la., says: ''I
have not had an ache or pain of rheumatism
since 1 used the Athlophoros, wich is now
over a year ago. For three months my
store was closed, not being able to attend to
my business at all. My joints were swollen
and there did not seem to be any part of
my body that did not ache. After suffering
in this way until the pain was almost be
yond endurance. I went to the Colfax
Springs to try the effect of the water. The
day I left home I had to be carried down
stairs. After remaining at the Spring a
month I came back, being some better.
After being home a few weeks I had a re
lapse. It was at this time that I learned
of Athlophoros. 1 sent for a bottle of it
and in fifteen minutes after I " had taken
the first dose I felt its effects, and when I
had finished the third bottle I was well. I
have not had any rheumatism since."
Every druggist should keep AthloDhoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlopho
ros company, 112 Wall street, New York,
will send either (carriage paid) on receipt
of regular price, which is Si per bottle for
Athlophoros and 50 cents for Pills.
For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia,
indigestion, weakness, nervous debility,
disease of women, constipation, headache,
impure blood, etc., Althlophoros Pills are
unequaled.
