The Homestead Law.

A committee of five comrades of Post IS, and
a like number from Encampment No. 6. u. V.
L., have been doing some effective work on an
important amendment to the Homestead law of
atinterest to old soldiers and soldiers widows.
This change is now in the form of bill lately
presented in the House of Representatives by
Hon. John Dalzeli. If it passes a soldier or
soldiers widow or children, can get 100 acres of
land without settlement on the same. Under
the present law actual settlement is required
and the only advantages given soldiers, is that
the time served in the army is deducted from
the five years settlement required to perfect
title.
This should interest the old soldiers enough
to get their aid IN pushing the bill through.
General William Blakely, ESQ.,, is chairman
and j. H Stevenson is secretary of this COM
mittee and they invite the cooperation of the
posts all over this county and State. The new
bill il passed will enable soldier or soldiers
widow or children to settle and improve by
agents.

ing ut the Exposition.


ing at the Exposition.
The Pittsburg schools are to prepare another
exhibit of their work, but on this occasion it
will not go across the water to Paris, but re-
main in Pittsburg to be duly admired at the
Exposition. The committee appointed by the
Central Board, after Manager johnson made
the request that display of Pittsburg school
work similar to the one which he saw at the
Paris Exposition be prepared for the Exposi-
tion in Pittsburg next September, met yester-
day afternoon. Messrs. A. McCandless. Kellar,
Mcmillan, Superintendent Luckey and Manager
Johnston were present. The latter thought
that a school exhibit would be received with
much favor, and besides would be a stimulus
to the pupils
The committee decided to recommend that
an exhibit be prepared and to ask for an ap-
preparation of the Central Board. The local
boards will be asked to cover the expense of
the material used. The appropriation asked of
the Central Board will not exceed S.. 900. The
work will have place in the art room of the
Exposition and will be arranged on the walls
and will be beautifully mounted.
Work on the exhibit will not be commenced
till June. The committee also made arrange
ments to have the school children attend the
Exposition the first four weeks and a half for
every day except Saturday from A. NJ. to
