Ir has been customary for the genera,

IT has been customary for the general
land office to allow a man who has tax
en- a quarter section of land under the
presumption act to take another quarter
section under the homestead act, and
thus get 320 acres of the public domain
for 5000, plus the fees for the two en-
tries. A case has recently come up be-
fore Commissioner Sparks where a man
in Devils Lake district, Dakota, took
100 acres under the. presumption law
and then took 100 acres u nder the
homestead law, and at the expiration Of
the statutory six months after making
the latter entry he committed it for cash.
A committed homestead is precisely the
same thing as a presumption, and the
commissioner has decided that this mans
homestead entry, in consequence of his
attempt TO commute it, is invalid. The
decision does not go so far as to say
that a man cannot enjoy the benefits of
both the homestead and presumption
laws if he perfects his homestead title
by five years residence instead of by
cash communication, but it is understood
that the commissioner regards the home
stead act as having been passed as a sub
s%titute, or at least an alternative for the
presumption act, and that a man cannot
enjoy the benefits of both acts under
any circumstances, and a decision to
that effect will probably be promulgat-
ed before long. For some time past the
land Office has been run on the most lib
eral and broadcast gauge principles of
accommodating everybody who wanted
to get ahead Of the government and the
nation, but the interests of the public as
against those of individuals are receiving
SO me attention now.

Some n please work the roads.
Miss Ella Piper has commenced her
school in the Turner district.
Mrs. Chas. Turner, who was on the
sick list, last week, is some better.
Mrs. VIM. Hamilton who was also
quite sick, is able to be around again.
Ike johnson is still pounding away at
Piper's well, and we are sure he will get
done before spring.
Mr.. j. B. Piper's family have arrived
from Harlan county, and things are be-
ginning to look quite life-like in the vi
entity OF their ranch on the divide.
Joe Stephens is SLIPPING around in
Jim Doyle's pasture every day now, and
woe to the person who comes to BORROW
wood, for Joe is sure to. discover them
about the time they get their load ready
to start for home.
Rev. j. A. Kleeberger is holding a
series of meetings at the church, with
large congregations and lively interest.
Nine persons were received into the NJ.
E. church or Sunday, Nov. 18th. This
point seems to be a Bethel for christ
ians.
Republicans in this precinct, and good
people generally, have accepted our de-
feat with grace, but are a good deal
mortified at the fact of a little local is
SUI keeping one Of the best men in the
county out of the most important office
of the county. We feel certain, how
ever, that the %county's loss is II gain.

Mr.. C. T. Holt lectured on temperance
the past week at the NJ. Il. church with
good effect. A Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union, a Reform Club and a
Band of Hope were organized and start
ed off in good style. On Saturday the
Band of Hope, numbering some fifty
children, gave a parade and exhibition
drill, which showed that Mr.. Holt had
not been idle in his work. The reform
club numbers among its members a
large number of our most influential
men, while among the ladies the spirit
of generous rivalry, as to who can do the
most work in the best manner, runs
high. We predict that by the time
another city election takes place the pre-
vailing sentiment among the voters will
be against the saloon.-Courier.

SPEAKING of the magnificent endow-
ment fund of $4,000, 900 given by Sem
ator Leland Stanford of California to
found the Leland Stanford university in
that state, the New York Times says ::
9The foundation of an institution of
learning SO magnifcently endowed
would be a great event in any country.
The enormous sum given BY its founder
should, if wisely expended, create a un-
i%versity whose fame will not be confined
to America. The report of the treas
urer of Harvard college for the calen-
dar year 1884 showed that the funds of
that college amounted to 81, 500, 939,
the income of which was S241, S25.
Yale is not so rich; the real estate and
productive funds of John Hopkins uni
versity amounted a year or two ago, ac-
cording to the Commissioner of Educa-
TONS report, to s3,347, 600 Amherst's
assets were less than 81 600, 900 in 1880;
Columbia's property was valued at So
sec, 900, and Cornell's at $2,267, sci.
The University of California had 1905,
600 in buildings and ground and $780,
900 in productive funds. In the Com
m~issioner's report for 1898 the value
of the real estate and productive funds
of all the universities and colleges of
the United States was fixed at less than
800, 600, 600, and their total income
from funds and tuition fees was less
than IS, 600, 900. A college or %univer-
sity with an endowment of $50, 100000
will stand head and shoulders above any
Of them so far as the cash value of its
endowment is concerned. But a great
university cannot be made by money
alone. 1t is a growth of years, built up
BY the devotion Of instructors and by
many other factors whose force depends
in Small measure upon money. Sena-
tor Stanford 5 endowment furnishes only
the foundation for the work. The great
trust must be administered with great
care and wisdom. Admirable manage
ment may rear upon the founders mil
lions an institution that will hold a
commanding position in the next centu-
ry. Poor management will cause fail
ure, notwithstanding the assistance of
millions"

The last thing at which General Nc

THE last thing at which General Nc
Clellan worked on the day of his death
was an account ofthe battle of Antietam.
He was preparing a series of articles for
the Century Magazine and the first one
was to be one on Antietam. It was not
finished. From between the leaves of a
book lying on the Generals table when
he died p%rotruded numerous pages of
pages of manuscript. The book was an
authority the General had been consult
ing and the manuscript was the half
written article on his famous battle.

Official City and County Paper.

In view of unser freund Bishops re-
cent high and lofty tumbling in the po-
litical arena We are impelled to the con-
c~lusion, out of sheer admiration, that,
be is q jewel, a rare one at that, of the
first magnitude and purest water, even
if he is not consistent. The TRIBUNE
humbly prostrates itself before the
majestic awfulness of unser freund
Georges gall, and admires its immen-
sity of proportion, pureness of quality,
consistency Of purpose, and whatsoever
other transcendentally superlative graces
which naturally attend such greatness.
w feel lost in the intensity Of homage,
fascinated and powerless. But, George,
we judge you not harshly, but in great
charity. For some inexplicable reason
your endowment has not been of judg-
ment, consistency, and pearls of like
price, but in order that your case might
prove a horrible example to all genera
tons, in the fearfulness and wonderful
ness of your making, all the spare gall
at hand was incorporated. And it is
this one talent which you obscure not,
but the rather strengthen and FURNISH
by repeated Use. 1t is this talent which
enables you to accomplish feats beyond
the possibilities of the ordinary political
acrobat. 1t is this talent which enables
you to still the outcries of conscience,
and to baptize your memory in the Lethe
of f%orgetfulness. But, before We erect
the cap-stone upon this monument to
gall, let US implore you, in behalf of the
people Of this devoted city, not to thus
ruthlessly drive us without the fold of
the grand old party. Don't do it.

EDITOR STEAD, of the Pail Mall Ga.
zette, has shown considerable pluck dur
ing his extended trial, but if he should
ever get into jail and have time, away
from the excitements of sensational
journalism, to find out what his princi-
Piles really were in the Eliza Armstrong
abduction case, he will probably feel a
good deal mere like kicking himself than
abducting any more children for deco
ratiye moral reform purposes. Perhaps
Editor Stead would like to have a child
of his own treated as he treated Eliza
Armstrong. If somebody would only
abduct Mr.. Stead and help him 10 repeat
the golden rule it might do some good.
Saving society is a difficult business and
the only sure way is to begin at home.
