believe that salt rheum and letter can

it as directed they would soon become
convinced of their error. 1t almost

The New Public Land Bill

This measure is clearly forward step.
If it becomes law, the act will tend to
prevent fraudulent appropriation of what
remains of our once vast public domain.
Applying the homestead features, as far
as practicable, to all agricultural and
desert lands-which require actual settle
ment for considerable period as pre-
requisite to obtaining titles-will place
the land in future in the hands of actual
homes seekers in email quantities. All
this must check the tendency to large
holdings, which has until recently exist
ed and which is SO dangerous to the pre-.
petuity of the government. The reser-
walton of title of coal deposits in the
government, with the right to assume
control of them at any time to prevent
monopoly, is IN accord with a growing
public sentiment. The idea of obtaining
revenue from the disposal of the lands,
which IN the early history ofour country
was considered so important, is largely
abandoned by this bill. This particular
feature will meet the opposition of some
economists, but it is certainly better that
the government dispose of its lands in
small lots to bona. fide settlers than that
itshould reap larger immediate revenue
by selling at higher price to capi :alists
or spectators. The latter are not the
classes that will settle upon and develop
our public domain. That Is beyond
question wise policy which, instead
gives preference to the actual settler
While the bill is open to criticism il
several details, it is in the main vel
adapted to the ends for which it wa
devised. 1t has passed the House an

Big Elk, where he had been after a
brother of the two Frayers's now in con-

the charge of horse stealing. The sheriff
in company with two others laid in wait
at the ranch of the gang for the suspected
marty. who arrived at the ranch about
midnight, and when told to throw up
his hands, instead put spurs to his horse
and skipped, but received two charges of
shot, which the officers think must have
struck him. judging from his actions, yet
the shots were not effectiye as it did not
stop his speed, and he escaped. While
the firing was going on the wife of one
of the brothers, now confined in Jail,
opened the door of the shack and began
firing at the officers with Winchester,
and she was arrested and sent to the
Springs. Two oi the stolen horses were
identified by the owners. and search o.
the premises revealed considerable stoleI
property, some of which has been iden

chester rifles. The breaking up of th'
