From July I, up 10 date, there have been
cancelled 121 entries and filings, embracing

Ia, but that is attributed to the fact that
the greatest amount Of land business is now
in that Territory. The cancellations are
based on reports showing the original en-
tries to have been fraudulent, or upon re
linquishment, proving hat there was fraud
at the beginning. There is q large number
of special agents, and transactions at the
land offices are being closely watched.

troduce measure for the reform of the gov
eminent of the municipality of London, and
the New York Times speaking Of it says:
'The general plan of the bill, it is supposed,
will be to substitute central authority for
the various city, metropolitan and district
bodies and boards which now have such
mixed and inefficient jurisdiction. Had
the Legislature of Indiana been DESTROYS to
give to indianapolis and to all cities the best
form of local government, they would have
abolished all executive boards and vested the
entire central authority in the mayoralty.
Concentration and direct responsibility is the
key note of the best attainable municipal adj
ministration.
