Death Of Col. Benton.
LoKIE, Secretary.

The telegraph appraised US, about a
O'Clock last evening, of the death. IN
Washington City, of Thos. H. Benton
No other particulars were then commu-
Gated, except that both Houses Of Congress
in token Of respect for the deceased, I'M
mediately adjourned. This was an ap-
propriate testimonial of respect, inasmuch
as Mr.. Benton was a member of the
Senate for thirty years, and afterwards
served two years as a Representative
from the St. Louis District. The critical
condit on of his health, had, to some ex-
tent prenared the public mind to hear Of
his death, hut it occurred at a somewhat
earlier period than it was expected. His
deSease has been termed cancer of the
stomach, and a vigorous constitution
could only be interposed to postpone, not
prevent, his dissolution. In the .74th
year of his age, calmly, with a full
knowledge of his condition, he ''put off
this mortal COLL and even now he is at
rest.
There are those who knew Col. Benton
long, IN his social and political relations,
who will be summoned, and will be raady
to do ample justice to his memory and to
his character. For nearly forty years he
filed a large space in the public eye
Even before his election as a Senator
from Missouri, he was not unknown 10
fame; but it vas only after his election in
1926 hat his name became associated
with the names of the most illustrious men
in the country. His Senatorial career,
for two-lhirds of that period was undoubt-
edly a brilliant one, but that brilliancy
was not such as we all accord to Calhoun,
or Clay. or Webster, or Barton. or any
of those Senators who are regarded, in
the public esteem, as his contemporaries.
He was a man of great labor, of indomi-
table will-impelledin every action of his
life by a desire for success, and tasking
every faculty of his mind to bring about
that result, What he has done for Mis-
souri,, what be has done for the country,
what he has done for his own fame. is
matter for the historian, and we shall not
encroach upon his province.-Republican

Public Meeting.

Pursuant to previous notice q meeting
was held by the citizens of Table Rock
and vicinity at Table Rock city, April

The meeting was called to order BY
John Fleming.
On motion ]. J. Norris was appointed
chairman, and John Lokie secretary.
The object of the meeting was stated
by H. N. Gere.
A committee of three (H. N. Gere, E..

elected TO draft resolutions expressive of
the Of the meeting.
The following preamble and r~esolu-
tons were adopted.
Whereas. the intention of our General
Government, in enacting the Pre.emn-
ton Law, was that the Industrious poor
man, the homeless, and the unfortunate
should find an asylum, and obtain an no..

Resolped. That we are opposed to the
carly disposition of public lands by auc-
ton. as il prevents or delays the actual
settlement Of the Territory. and permits
spectators who are seldom residents Of

great injury of the actual settlers and the
prosperity of the Territory.

our Territory, were led with the expecta-
ton Of becoming p%articipators in the
great .s2eculations' that have been 60
ing on for the past two or three years,
and realizing fortunes in a brief period.
"Hard times" has come; the Capitol, pro-
posed Railroads, Government Depots, &c.
have about lost their attraction for the
~unguarded, yet intelligent, high-mind ed,
honorable and industrious farmer. Spec
~ulators have been deceived, their money
invested in paper towns, banks, and worth
less property at high figures. Laborers
and mechanics have also met with diff
@culties. Prospecting under the high prices
paid for labor, almost without warning
they were thrown out of employment, or
if they get work it must be at reduced
prices. Gentlemen, we offer you a COM
m~endable field for your operations, you
that desire a home, that will work and
try again, come, we welcome you. You
must not expect US to overrate or offer
inducements that we do not expect to full
fill. All that we request is, before you
locate TO give US at least a passing notice,
as l am satisfied that our county will
please you if you are TO be suited in this
Territory or in the western country.
A word to those that wish to settle in
town or vicinity. l would recommend
Salem as the place, being the county
seat, near the centre of the county, hav-
ing advantages of timber, water. and
springs on town site. Fourteen miles to
Missouri river, and fourteen to west line
of county. Business facilities of town !:
grist and saw-milf in operation, two
stores, plow-factory, wagon shop, black
smith shop, n grocery, two hotels, two
practicing physicians, p~ost-ofice, &C.; and
improvements being made with a firm and
steady advancement A good and sub
stantial bridge has recently been erected
across the Nemaha, at a cost of $780,
The proprietors of Salem have spent no
lots for gasserS; it needs none. The only
recommendation it needs is to be seen and
witness the advantages and location ii
possess 1t is a bona fde town and lids
fair to be one of the first inland town in
the Territory. Settlers e~migrating here
That are DESTROYS of locating immediately
on the river and near towns, will find that
we have our ratio, Rulo, Yancton, Win
nebago, and St. Stephen, all graspingf for
the supremacy; as they are good locations
and building up rapidly by industrious and
good citizens, they recommend themselves.

Correct the Mistake.

By-the-way. There is not a better
point at which to establish a plow manu-
factory than Brownville. Abundance of
good timber at hand, the demand almost
unlimited, and no establishment nearer
than St. jos, ph, Mo, distant ninety
miles.
The above we clip from the Brownville
Advertiser, and is a mistake made either
Intentionally or %ignorantly, which is cal
culated TO do Mr.. Hoffman, who is the
proprietor of the large Empire Star
Plow' factory, in this place, great injus-
tice. Several thousand plows of a supe-
rior cast to any that have or can be made.
In St. Observation-Disclosures to be such
by practical farmers who have tried both
manufactures, are turned out every sea-
son; and in these plows are for sale in
almost every country town in the North
west-some of which we will name in
order that persons will know where to
, procure them: Brownville N. T, Ma
rietta, Holt county, Brownsville, Nodaway
county, and Forest city. From the pre-
sent indications, Mr.. Hoffman will be
able to supply tie demand hat is almost
unlimited in your section for many years
to come, and not have to employ n addi-
tiOnal hand.-OregOn { NO. NeUs.
With pleasure, Mr.. Cundif, we correc
the mistake; plead guilty to the charge o.
Ignorance" "recede" thirty miles O.
the distance mentioned; but 'adhere" t.
the assertion, 'there is no better point a
which to establish a pillow manufactorl
than Brownville." Further, we hope Mr.
Hoffman, so long as his plows give salts
faction, may be literally ~patronized b,
cur people, until we have a manufactur

ed for a township is to be located within
the limits of such township, provided a
sufficient quantity of good land exists
therein. If you are satisfied thai a sum,

the nearest adjacent township wherein

8. When a portion of section No. 10

titled, under the. act Of 20thof May, 1926,
is to be selected.

if practicable, if not in separate quarter
sections. A less quantity than one-quar-
ter section is not TO be taken. Fractional
sections are to be excluded, except in
cases where a portion of section No. Is
or SO exists in the township, and a selec-
ton has TO be made of the balance of the
quantity of land to which such township is
entitled; and where the quantity cannot
be located on a quarter or half section, IN
such cases only may fractional sections OF
parts of fractional sections be taken, ac-
cording to the legal subdivisions, to make
up the deficiency in quantity, as nearly
as practicable.
5. Fractional townships created by
Indian reservation, are not to be under
stood as coming within the meaning of
the act, as, when the township is COM
pleted, it will then have its proper school
