THE OKLAHOMA LANDS.
A Letter Of Instruction Concerning
Entries Therein.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1.-The
approval of Secretary Noble, has issued to
tho Registers and Receivers of the newly
established land oifices in Oklahoma let
ter Of instructions Of special interest to
persons desiring to settle in that territory.
The most important features Of the letter
are the following:
All except reserved lands are made cub
ject to entry by actual settlers under the
homestead laws, with certain notifications
Attention is directed TO the general circular
of January /, 1889, containing the home
stead laws and Official regulations there
under. These laws and regulations are
modified by the special provisions of March
2, 1883, in the following particulars, viz:
First-The rule stated under the title
that only one homestead privilege to the
same person is permitted, is so modified as
to admit Of homestead entry being made by
any one who, prior to the passage
of the act, had made homestead
entry, and failed from any cause TO secure
title in fee to the land embraced therein, or
who, having secured such title, did SO by
what is known as Communication Of his
homestead entry. With regard to a person
making homestead entry and failing to &C
quire title Hereunder, or Communication
thereof, after the passage of said act Of
March 2, 1889, the rule as to the second
homestcads is operative and will be en-
forced in relation to these laws as well as
others.
Second-The statute provides for the dis
posal of these lands ''to actual settlers un-
der tho homestead laws only,'' and while
providing that the rights Of honorably
discharged Union soldiers and sailors in
the late civil war shall not be abridged"
makes no mention of sections under which
such soldiers and sailors, their wives and
orphan children are permitted, with regard
TO public lands generally, to make additional
entries In certain cases free from the
requirement of actual settlement on the
entered tract. Therefore, it is held
that soldiers or sailors addition
al entries can not be made
on those lands under said sections unless
the party claiming will, In addition to the
proof required, make afiidavit that the en-
try is made for actual settlement and cul
tivation. Entries will not be ubiect to
Communication under Section 2,3ol, Revised
Statutes.
Any person applying to enter or file for
homestead will be required first to make
an affidavit, in addition TO the other re-
quircmcnts, that he did not violate the law
by entering upon and occupying any por-
tion of the lands prior to April 81. Town
sitc entries may be allowed, but the limits
in area in any such entry is to one-half
section, or $50 acres, as maximum, what
ever the number Of inhabitants.

During the past spring and summer our
Southern brethren have thronged into
Colorado, and after climbing our peaks,
exploring our nyo and s%nowballing In
midsummer to their hearts content, re-
turned delighted with our scenic attrac-
tons, and charmed by the spirit of hearty
hospitality with which they were well
coined. Now it should be our duty, and
a pleasant one, to return these visits.
The Fort Worth railroad has given us the
opportunity. Their advertising depart.
ment has lust issued a pamphlet entitled
Winter Tourist Routes and Rates from
the Summit to the Sea-" giving reduced
excursion rates for this winter season and
a number of different routes through the
South.
Coloradoans cannot Justly plead the
necessity of escaping from n severe winter,
but many of them would be pleased with
the change to n semi tropical climate
where the flowers perpetually bloom, and
a visit to places Of such historic interest
as Houston, Austin, Galveston, San An.
tonic or New Orleans. Or, if they should
wish stranger or more tropical climes,
these routes include a trip to such interest
ing old places as Monterey, Saltillo and
the City of Mexico. Full particulars may
be obtained by addressing Geo. Ady, gen.
eral passenger and ticket agent of the
Denver, Texas h Forth Worth railroad
or the Union Pacific ticket agent at

ONLY 4 RUMOR PROBABLI

ONLY 4 RUMOR PROBABLY
There is a rumor afloat which, If true,
bids fair to create no end of excitement
in railroad circles, says the Omaha Herald.
The report is that the Chicago 4 North
western will, in a short time, make a bid
for the entire Union Pacific system, main
lines, branches and all. The reasons for
so doing are apparent.
The Northwestern embraces all the ter.
ritorY between Chicago and the Missouri
river worth mentioning, and the company
deserves, in addition to its Fremont, Elk
horn Il Missouri Valley line, to obtain
control of the traffic between Omaha
and Salt Lake City. The Northwestern
has the financial backing and will make
n strong effort to achieve the OBJ.
ject mentioned. OF course there will be
obstacles to overcome: tine support o.
the United States government is TO be
secured, but yet the Northwestern man
agement and its hackers believe that the
object can be attained and that in n short
time the Union Pacific will be known as a
continuation of the Northwestern system.
The latter is known at present rs the
leading railway on the continent. 1t fur.
nishes the best service. both in speed and
accommodations and outside the present
directory and stockholders has more money
behind it than any other road in America
excepting the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy.
The local officials of the Union Pacific
know nothing Of the proposed deal, neither
are they expected to, since the Il dom
know circular was issued, and of course
have but little or nothing to say. The 10
cal officials OF the Elkhorn can give nc
information regarding the matter, but ar,
not prepared to deny it. Certain it il
that something will develop ere long; I

managers assistant knows nothing of; {

and can tell nothing Of. There will b,
numerous interviews in Omaha to-day.
but the lutte bird that let fall the inform,
ation concerning the proposed deal ha.
flown. The only action hat can be taker
by the inquisitive until the trades take

THE COUNTY.

V The new county of Natrona, which will
be constituted from the northern part Of
Carbon county, is about to be organized.
The last issue of the Douglas Budget
contains the following interesting new on
the subject The meeting for the pur-
pose Of taking the initial steps looking to
the organization of the new county, was
attended by representative men from Oil
City, Boutwell, and other sections of the
county. and its proceedings were harmon
ious throughout. 1t was decided to send
out men with the necessary petitions at
once, and several gentlemen promptly
volunteered to help rustic .ssfor.. signers.
Messrs. }. Il. Ervay OF Oil City, N. A.
Bristol OF Casper. and b. B. Brooks, the
well known ranchman. were selected as
temporary commissioners. A finance
committee was chosen, and a liberal sum
OF money subscribed on the spot.
Numerous gentlemen are already being
quietly doomed by their friends for the
%vorious offices 10 be filed. Billy Jaycox
is spoken of as the coming sheriff Of the
new county; Alex Cunningham for clerk,
Rule Rhoades for probate judge and
treasurer. and Hon. G. c. Wright fol
county attorney. Messrs. George Mitch
ell and b. b. Brooks arc also mentioned
as probable members of the permanent
board of county commissioners. The
contest over the county seat promises to
be a lively one. Casper, Oil City and
Boutwell, will each strive for the prize"

MAcKAY, the Silver King, is a firm
believer in Providence, and considers his
financial condition quite a matter of
Divine favor. In return for value re-
ceived he proposes, it is said, to establish
an institute Of learning of some sort
possibly after the Stanford example, or
the Cornell. 1t does not matter much to
the people what a millionaire hobbies on

headwaters in the Rockies the plan pro-
jected by Prof. j. w. Powell. There's a

THE little blizzard of yesterday was a

The unthinking are prone to make
game Of neryousness. Yet this is n very
real and serious affiictiou, the harassing
symptoms Of which are rendered all the
more poignant by ridicule. The stomach
is usually responsible for these symptoms

flex in the brain, which is the headquar-
tiers of the nervous system. As n nerve
ono and tran1uillizcr, VT believe that
not one can be pointed out so effective as
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. In renew
ing vigorous digestion, it strikes the key
note of recovery of strength and quIetude
by the nerves. Headaches, tremors in
quiet sleep, abnormal sensitiveness to un-
expected noises-all these modify and
ultimately disappear as the system gains
strength from the great tonic Dyspepsia,

kidney complaints are sublued by the

To Revive the Use of the Lance.

The question of reviving the use of
the lance in tho French army is again
being discussed. A military expert,
in a letter to The Temps, has much to
say in favor of this weapon. He APP
pears to think it was abolished after
tho war without sufficient reflection,
and mentions two incidents in the bat
tie of Waterloo in which English cav
airy, while in tho act of charging
French troops, changed their purpose
when they saw those armed with the
lance, and attacked other regiments
supplied with short weapons. The
writer thinks the main argument en-
ployed in a~bolishing tho lance in the
French army-the length Of time
needed to obtain q mastery of the
weapon-an erroneous one.-London
