A Pair of Soldiers BurgIarIze a Ranch
House.


Chas. Kelley and Robt. P. Speers, two
members of the troop of regulars en- route
to Fort Logan from Fort Laramie, are in
the county jail awaiting a hearing on the
charge of burglary.
1t is set forth in the detailed complaint
that last Sunday the defendants forced an
entrance into the old Schwartze ranch
house on Pole creek. now the property Of
the Post Percheron Horse Association,
and carried away articles ~aggregating in
value more than $50. The booty includ,
ed a $50 check. pair of scissors; and guam,
tity of jewelry. The property was found
IN possession Of the prisoners, and it
looks like a clear case against them.
Kelley and Spears claim that the house
was open and apparently deserted. So
soon as their criminality was discovered
they were placed under guard, and given
into the custody of Constable Douglas
yesterday afternoon. The men were ar
raigned before Judge Carroll, and entered
pleas Of not guilty. To-day they will be
given a preliminary hearing. Bail was
fixed at 5000 each.

Report of the Cheyenne Land Office
to the Department.

TO the department.
Yesterdays Denver Republican has
this special dispatch from Washington:
The local land Office at Cheyenne, in a
communication to the department, states
that the relative number Of h~omesteaders
in that territory continually grows larger,
and that final proofs more clearly show
that the intention Of the entrymen is to ac-
quire homes. He also gives expression %
the following:
Public opinion, heretofore demoralized
and recognizing the government as legiti-
mate prey. has greatly improved on ac-
count of the influx of settlers. and be-
aus of a general conviction. that the
government means to enforce the law to
the utmost of its power. The mass of
people mean to do right, aud most frauds
are directly traceable to some uascrupu-
ious agent
"a large number of presumably fradu-
lent presumption filings have been allowed
to expire on account Of the structures of
proof now required. Thus the acreage
opened to homesteads has been greatly en-
larged. Entries of coal and other miner
ais, in which this district is rich. seems
generally to have been made in good faith.
Much desert land is so situated as to
be almost impossible to reclaim by men
of moderate means, but this difficulty is
largely obyisted by the organization of
companies, which by the territorial law,
are required to furnish water at reason
able rates, while the corporations, formed
under the old statute. are enabled to
dominate large areas by granting water or
refusing it at will. at the same time hold
ing a monopoly of the supply"

Reducing the surplus,

The disposition of the surplus in the
United States treasury engages the atten-
ton Of our statesmen. but Il more vital
question has our attention, and that is the
reduction of the surplus consumptives.
Since the discovery and introduction Of
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton, there. has been a marked decrease in
the mortality from this dreaded disease,
and it is possible to still further reduce the
number of consumptives, Howl By
keeping constantly at hand a bottle Of
DR.. Kings New Discovery and using
according to directions upon the appear
anee of the first symptoms, such as a
cough, a cold, a sore throat, a chest or
side pain. Taken thus early a cure is
guaranteed. Trial bottles free at DR.. W.
N. Hunts drug store.
