PBHBH »NII TBBMS OF A Washington speoial says. Corporal Tanner, commissioner of pensions, has rendered an imporfant decision iu pas sing upon the application of John Webb, late private oompsiiy D. Iadiaca oavalry, for an inoreaBe of pension from $21 to $30 per month. Webb ia reoeivmg the former rate of peusion for varioose veios of tbe left leg, and has asked for the in orease on the ground (hit total disabili ty in the foot now exists. In granting the increase Baked for tbe commissioner says that it was not the intention of con gress in nsing the words ''total d:'a ability" to debar claimants for pension from the benefits of the aot until the hand, foot, arm or leg is a worthleis in oumbranoe, inoapable of motion and completely useless for any purposes whatever. Hereafter, be says, total diS' ability shall be held to exist when tbe affected member by reason of wound injary or disease is nseless in the per formance of ordinary manual labor. Mrs, Mathews, wife of Hon. G. A. Mathews, Dakota's delegates in oungreas, died at Brookings Tuesday afternoon, of consumption. Mrs. Mathews was an invalid for two years prio? to her death. The sad event was not anexpeot-sd, but it comes with as maoh sorrowful force as thongh it was a sadden bereavement. The deceased bad been a resident of Brookings sinoe 1882 and the community is under profound grief over her demise. Mr. Mathews will have the sinoere sym pathy of the people ol Dakota in this solemn hour. Several thousand people who own iu Yankton and other Dako ta cities will feel interested in a law passed by tbe last legislature pro viding for tbe taxation of their oanine property.

Now is tbe time tor Nebraska to quarantine against Da kota dogs.

CCULDN STAND PROSPERITY. A itliner Who Hallo and Liat Davoll iu a BDoat Million Dollars In Mix months. Sonora, Taolumne ooanty, Unl., was at one time the liveliest and rioheBt mining camp in the golden atate. Gold WBB found in the very streets, and the sap pi? seemed inexhaustible. For the lest few years, however, Bonora has been on the down grade. A few mines are worked in the vioinity, bat tbe town Itself is about as dead as a door nail. Ooe of the best knonu charsotere of the town, and who may be seen any day tabuing op aguiost some post aud gHZiug into space as if be bad no further ase for the ecanee abont him, is a Frenohman by the name of Dnvoll. 56 years old, aod is a very fair spenimen of tbe "basted miner" type so prevalent among the mining die triotsof the PaaiSo slope. No oue would Bappose by locking at bim that only a tew years sinoe be oonnted his gold by tbe hnndreds of thousands, yet BUob really tbe case. Davoll sprang into wealth and promi nence in the fall and winter of 1884 85 He mad« in those few months something like $1,350,000. To day he hasn't a cent to his name. It happened this way: Abont four miles from Bonora soae men were sinking a prospeot shaft when they struck a rloh "pocket," yielding some $30,000 or more in gold. They ''drifted" abont after that in hope of finding more, bnt concluded finally that there was no more in it. Davoll bad been prospeoting around and working in tbe mines and had saved about $400. He had heard of this poo ket and thinking it aood "ipeo" of fered tbe men bis $400 for their olaim whiob offer they jamped at, thinking Davoll orazy to want to work the olaim any fnrther. Xhey didn't seem to "phase' Davoll any, for be went to woib. Steadily day after day for about a month he wielded bis piok and shovel at the bottom of tbe shaft until (tbo ground ho was wotk rig ic was a soft, decomposed qoanzj ue round a narrow thread of qaartz show ing a considerable qaqntity of lre. .Id That night Davoll prooarei some heavy timbers and some lumber and built a cabin (vjr tbe shaft A nephew of his WBB called to his assistance and one of them was always at tbe oabin after that for a period of six months. That narrow Btreak of quartz Boon be gan to wid«n and the gold beoame more plentiful, .until an ore ohambsr was reached containing perhaps the greatest amount of gold ia a given space that ever WSB discovered. The gold was taken out in buoketfuls. At every stroke of the piok great ohonks of qaartz that were almost solid masses of gold would be loosened and this was kept up until th«)y had taken out alto gether some 9,000 pounds, whioh yielded upward of $1,000,000. This sort of thing, of oourse, could not last always, and BO 10 when the **Snd'' petered out Duvoll and his nephew went down to Baa Franoisoo to invest their money and enjoy themselves. Tbo nephew bad, I belieye, a tenth interest in tbe pooket. A million dollara wasn't enough for Duvoll, and in order to ieorease his pile he took a "flyer" at stook speculation. He took several "livers," in faot. and so did the nephew. In about sixty days the nephew was "busted",and Dovoll's pile'' had been diminished to about $300,000. Duvoll's next step was to invest about $150,000 in dwelling property on Haigbt street, Sac Franoisoo. He then returned to Sonora. After several disastrous mining speculations he wat induced to go into a big irrigation sobeme whiob almost broke him and oompelled him to mortgage his Ban Franoisoo property. After a number of otber ventures the Haigbt street property went by the board, and Davoll, without even his original $400, found himself pkirmiah ing about Bonora for a job at S3 a day. —New York Herald. Mr. Bancroft'* Shattered Mlud. The venerable historian, George Ban croft, owing to his deolining mental faculties, has desisted from all attempts at further literary work, says a Wash ington letter to the Pittsburg Commer cial. Daring the past tew years he has bad in contemplation the writing of a history of the Polk administration, of whioh be was the first secretary of the oavy ana subsequently filled with great honor to himself and Ibe president tbe post of minister to Great Britain. The researches neoesi ary to a presentation of tbe aots of that administration had been, completed tnd all tb.e materials were in bis hand*, but the mental ohange soon gave force to the fact that he must re gard his literary life at an end. Con versing with his friends he admits that he bad not the will to lead to ambition or interest in further literary enter prisrs. It evident from" tbe conversa tions of Mr. Bancroft that he has felt the approach otrthat weakening of bis mental faculties for the past few years, and view of tbis faot he has given rnoob of bis tirnfi to a oarjafal revision of all bis publications of a permanent bis tone.charanter, and has bad alt copy rights renewed, whioh will give to bis declining, days and sub sequently his beirs the re ward of literary labors for some years to oome..

BOBS UP AGAIN. The iioHtof tliu Mtoux city & North ern Utvea MymptouH or ainterlul tXAtlOU. Bioux Oity Journal, 24 hr There if bat one Bioax Oity and Northern, and Braokebosh is its prophet. When Mr. lSruobobaBh oame to Bionx Oity a iew months ago and began buy ing realty right and left along B«cond and Third streets the aooolasion was at onoe jumped at that his purchases wert to be atil zed as terminal facilities for tivlroad. But what road? There were guesses and goeaser. The gaeesers nearly always ponnoed upon some well known and large oorporation as that which would fiijiy the generdns pur chases. Tbe Union Paoifio, the Bhort Line, tbe Illinois Oentral, tbe Milwau keei, tbe Northwestern were at different times and by different individuals named an tbe companies for whose use and behoof the property was bought. If any body pioked out tbe Bionx Oity and Northern as the company for whiob these many valuable lots were purohused tbe fact is nowhere on record. Tbe guesvers were all looking for a big and oeted oorporation to oome into poRFeo' sioo of the property whiob was consid ered to extensive for Individual holding. They never thought that a local railway enterprise yet in its swaddling clothes would acpire to saoh costly terminal trimmings Thas do the little things ""ofound tbe wise. Thnu was Mr. Braokehanb'a propheoy misinterpreted for a time, which IB a common ex perience with prophets. This Bioux Oi'y and Northern com pany is a sort of surprise party anyway. A short time ago it remitted a tax ol oearly $30U,000 voted in us aid by Bioux Oity. That was a surprising performance lor tbii day and generation A oorporatun release its grip on SOUIUB* a quarter of a million voted it by tbe people, part of whiob was already oolleoted! Then the company went under the surface— went dead, for all that was publicly heard of it tor a few weeks—and tbe pub lic estimation would have taid that was the proper thing to do after saoh a rare exhibition of disinterestedness, if tbe publlo bad been asked. But it wasn't dead, nor even sleeping. It was only preparing another surprise. And still there's more to follow. A few meetings ago an ordinanoe was resurrected in tbe oity oounoil granting the Bioux City and Northern right of way to lay railrond tracks out east on Douglas street. The tracks are to lead to and from a magnificent building that is to be erected on the half blook run ning from Pieroe to Douglas street and back to the alley mentioned. Tbe build ing is intended to answer to treble pur pose of a freight house for the Bioux Oity and Northern oompany, a freight house for the Illinois Oentral railroad and a commercial warehouse. Sunday Trains tQ Dakota. Aberdeen Newt), 21.—Superintendent Oliver, of the Northwestern railroad oompany, with headqnartera at Huron yesterday notified the agents ot the Oakes and Hawarden line that on and after Sunday, April 28tb, the regular Sunday passenger train service would be discontinued, so that the trains to day will be the last on this road on this day of the week for the present at least. While, of oourse, no reason was given for this ohange it is generally understood that the business transacted was not satiafaotory or suffiaient for the maintenance of tbe Sunday train, and for thiB reason alone it was "declared off." Bailroad men say there is a great difference between the amount of busi ness transacted now and at this time year ago, the receipts for the last three or four weeks showing a decided falling off. In the evening a News reporter saw Superintendent Hadley, of tbe Milwau kee, and from him learned that his oompany had also contemplated suoh a movement, and in faot he be had been instructed by the manager at one lime to take off the Sunday trains. Later it was found that tb£ .contraot with tbe government for thtyofifpzing of the mails called for seven^ trains a week and the instructions were*riihdrawn. Tbe whole matter, he said, was now.-4a abeyance and he was not at all positive that tbe Sunday passenger servibe ^oald be sus pended, even if the contract with the government was so changed that it could be. He was not aware of any in tention of withdrawing the regular week day servioe between this city and St. Paul and Minneapolis—leaving nothing but the night passengers—and said there was nothing to the rumors respecting a ohange in tbe service in this direction.
