Spacial Ager.t James, of the Interior department, has just ferreted out a gigan- tic land fraud in the Huron district, which is_apparently the most extensive thing of the kind ever unearthed in Da- kota. It covered 10,000 acres of land, a large amount of which passed into the hands of innocent purchasers. B Weeks is o land attorney of this city. A year or more ago he contracted with L. F. Cumminge, of Chicago, to furnish him soldiers’ declaratory statements for filing on government lands. Cummings is an ex-soldier, and being a member of the G. A, R. had great influence with his comrades. He represented to them that he was agent of an English company who wished to get holl of a large amount of Dakota land; that, if the soldiers would sign the declaratory statements he made for them and also file a relinquishment blank, he would pay these declaratories on government lands, and in the bourse of six months his company would pay them from $200 to 500 each for so doing. Many solaiers knew nothing of land laws and were caught by the bait, signed the dec- laritcries, relinquishing their title to the same and waited for their ducats which never came. When they asked Cum- mings about it, he said an old soldier named Weeks of Huron had them in J.

But, see here,” said the shoe for inspection a pair of red, pointed and ugly gentleman’s slippers, fully fourteen inches in length, with sharp-pointed, and turned-up toes, “‘these are not slip- pers designed for a Mephistopheles at o masked ball, but the latest thing in gents’ dressing slippers. They are not yet the rage, and it will be some time before they will be, but they are now being ipanufactured in this country from Turkish lasts, and every firat-class dealer in Boston has them in stock. The toes, you see, run to a perfect point and are curved upward at abont an angle of forty-five degrees. They are made in all colors, but red goat, like theee, arc the most taking, possibly because they are more oriental in appearance. Hero are some pretty ones in russet and others in black. They rotal for $5 and $6 a pair; but little money is made on them, even at these prices, for extreme care has to bo taken in their manufactnre, and only the most experienced and finest workmen can make them.” *‘What has made russet goods so pop- ular?’ queried the writer. ‘‘That's a hard question to answer. What applies to russet might be said of almost ull the fancy goods that are now flooding, the market. Two years has broughtabout a perfect revolution in the shoe trade. Now red, blue, canvas and cloth shoes, made in all designs and in almost all shapes, are worn by both men and women, At present nothing is so popular as the russet alligator shoes. They ara made in English shapes for Indies' houso and walking shoes, and also for morning and semi-dress wear. The russet alligator goods are high in price, but, epeacing frankly, there isno reason why they should be so. More of the imitation are sold, even among the best people, than the real. This is due to the tact that not one customer out of fifty can tell the differenco. They make some marvelous imitations nowadays, but hero is & test by which you can always tell the real from the sham alligator goods, In looking clusely you cau that the real has a flat scale, running from groove to groove. In running the finger over the leather you can detoct his gcale; otherwise the imitations are wellnigh perfect, and 1 am sorry to say are often sold for real goods. Some of tho fashionable goods are made with part real and part umitation alligator skin. Tkey are, of course cheaper and make an excollent wearivg shoo. 1 think the variety of shooe, both in colorand make,” continued the dealer, *'ia due to the pop- | ularity of eports and pastimes in the country. ball shoes are sold in Buston every season to men who never play or see a game of base ball simply because they «co cusy for walkivg, The ssme way of somo of the makes of bicycle, lawn ten- nis and other shoes, A part canvas shoe is not only easy to the foot but much } ©1than Thousands of pairs of baso| Eurpoaaly using low figures, appens that large profits come from .

Then they wroteto the land cflicer and thus the matter became public. It was known that Cammings had sold the dec laritories and the relinquishments to Wocks for the stipulated price of Weeks at once filled the papers in the Huron land office, of course keeping the relinquishments out of sight, and he appeared as attorney in every sale. As he found customers to buy these lands he filled out & relinquishment to such customers, accempanying it with his own »ffidavit before the land oflice that he had no personal interest whatever in the land and that he appeared solely in be- half of and as the attorney for the sol- dier who signed the relinquishment, 1t is on account of this alleged false aftidavit that Assistant United States Attorney Murphy swore out a warrant before United States Commissioner Taylor in this city for perjury. Weeks was brought before Commissioner Taylor this even- ing and held to bail in £2,000 to appear Tuesday afternoon and answer the charge. Jones Bloodgood and Ed Sterling are his bondsmen, Special Agent James also learned that Weeks, as attorney for Herman Tappert, had filed two soldiers’ declaratories in Tappert’s name, one at the Huron oflice last August, and another at the Mitchell office in January: also that he did the same thing for Patrick Kings- ley. How much this branch of Weeks' operations will reveal is not known, for the officers are still examining the land office books. Your correspondent has assurances considered reliable that the magnitude of the swindling thus carried on will astonish the country. The ofi- cors have possession of a receipt given by Cummings which reads thua: Recieved of S. B. Weeks $600 for sixty soldiers’ declaratories at $16 each and 350 for blanks. Weeks’ partner, named Thomas, has also been arrested, but the partnership has only existed a fow months, and it is believed that Thomas knows notaing of these mattors. Ho was released on his own recognizance. e —— The finest mayonaise dressing for all kinds of salads, cold meats, raw tomatoes, pickled salmon, cabbage, etc, is Durkee’s Salad Dressing.

She had just made fast, and the mate had stepped ashore to “*hustle them niggers,” when a middle- aged man, closely resembling the typical southerner, suddenly stepped out from behind the sacks, presented a revolyer within a foot of the mate's face, and cried out: “Throw up your hands or you are a dead man!’ There were fifty of us with our eyes on the two men, and we held our breath n8 the mate slowly raised his arms above his head. He didn’t change color in the slightest, and those who took in the de- tails noticed that he chewed away at his vlug of tobacco with the same regular motion—neither fastor nor slower, *“Now, then, down on your knees and beg my pardon, or I'll send a bullet into your eye!” The mate's legs wabbled, bent and down he sank and remarked that he was sorry if he had cffended the other. Al right,” growled the man with the pistol and ho shoved it into his pocket. **Afcer this you bea little more careful whom you fling your impudence at,” As he turned away the mate made a dive with his right hand, and up came a derringer, out snot the arm and in a voice of thunder the mate cried: “‘Halt!
