IMPORTANT ADVICE.

LII view of the possibility Of getting
4 Court in Bottineau this fall, it be-
comes quite important that u citi-
.zcus should know what is required Of
them in order to comply with the law
relative to citizenship.
The homestead claimant referred to
JIM the following instructions is II
who seeks to prove up on five years
residence AMI get his land for nothing.
In tue case of minors, it is proper
to state, though no declaration of in
tention is necessary; where he wants
~ file on land at the time he is Of age,
lie must produce a certificate Of his
fathers or mothers citizenship and by
competent evidence proye that he is
the son Of the person named in such
certificate. In consequence Of the
difficulty frequently attending the pro-
eurement of such evidence, it is better
10 make the declaration Of intention.
We would suggest and ask that all
who are entitled therefore to prove up
on final homesteads this summer and
desire to do so, send in their name to
us MS soon as possible. Any further
information that may be desired, we
will gladly give.
Final Citizen Papers.
Homestead claimants must get their final
citizen papers before they can make proof
All persons born in foreign countries who
are qualified can be naturalized, viz:
All persons who have resided in the
United States five years, and one year in this
territory, who have declared theirintentions
to become citizens at least two years ago
They must bring a copy Of their declaration
OF intention to become citizens.
All who came to the United States before
they were lS years of age and who have re.
sized in the United Satcs five years and one
year in this territory. These do not need o
copy of declaration of intention.
All honorably discharged soldiers wht
have resided in the United States one yea,
gan he naturalized without having declared
their intention to become citizens.
An applicants must bring two witnesses
to prove residence.
This opportunity should not be neglected
rs court is held here but once a year, anC
proof cannot be made on a five year home
stead unless the applicant is a citizen; drs
papers will not do.

TOM boswell, THE VIRGINIA RACER

This Is one of the familiar names that
all Virginians recognize in the nomencla-
ture of the turf as the exemplar of the
Old Dominion pride.
Yesterday Major boswell gave his
friends a real old Virginia entertainment
with the first blooming mint of spring.
More than two hundred people enjoyed
the hospitality OF Bullleld. The rain
had laid the dust, and towards the after
noon the sky cleared.
The romance Of the Virginia race
course Is a part Of the history of the
Anglo.American horse that has made
such u magnificent record.
Diomed Is generally known ~ the
great progenitor OF the American race
horse. But since bis time there have been
numerous distinguished horses imported
In old times the -four milers were the
champion horses. On the Metsyrie, the
Washington course, Broad Rock, Fair
field, and Long Island great matches
were made.
We know BY legend of Red Eye, Nina,
Boston, Revenue. Fashion. md q hun.
dred other great names that are still fa-
miliar.
Major boswell has preserved all the
honor and character Of the turf, and In
his victories is recognized as a South.
erner who can make the South known In
y field where all the world completes.
AT this gathering of his friends Major
boswell exhibited the following really
magnificent animals.
Eleve, brown colt by Eolus ont of
Ninon, Ly Wal Dance u, Of Gold Ri.g,
by RinggOld. son Of Boston. This youAg-
sier Is evidently a great ~favorile with tile
Major. The lingering glance of his eye
as II passed over the colts form, taking
in the strong points, showed as plainly
as his words that he thought the son of
Ninon Nd apt scholar and one who could
do honor to Bullheld Academy and
Professor ihompson's teaching.

Mice aud Margarine.

an English analyst recently received
twelve specimens Of supposed butter,
which he was supposed to analyze TO dis
cover which was pure and which was
oleomargaIine. After taking what he
wanted he set the twelve plates in his
laboratory. Next morning the butter
had disappeared from ten and on two it
remained. These two were adulterated
and the others pure. Suspecting mice,
he set ont other plates, some containing
pure aud some Odulterated in various de-
grees. Again the pure butter was cleared
away, the slightly adulterated half eaten
and the much adulterated only nibbled.

Size Of Raln Drop.

Variations in the size Of rain drops are
dependent upon the differences Ia the
height from which they have fallen and
to the amount Of atmospheric disturb
ance present at the time. If fallen from
q great height the drops suffer gradual
division into smaller and smaller parts
until they are converted into a mist. In
calm weather, with the clouds neal the
earth's surface, the drops are large and
heavy.-Chicago Herald.
