THE SETTLER COT It.
Result gfa Hearing at the u. S.
Land Office Beta0een J. 4.
Cushman and Z. Il.
ALdeYs0n.

The first case affecting the rights of a
homestead settler as against one who
made prior filing at the land office,
was heard before the office last We'd
nesday. The testimony showed con-
clusiveiy that the settler, J. A. Cush-
man, of Rhinelander, went onto the
land January Sth, and looked il over
with a view to making an entry of 1t and
on Jan. 18th, went there with men TO
help him and began the erection Of a
house which he furnished at once and
moved into. He also erected barn
large enough 10 hold two teams of
horses, and chopped and cleared about
oae-half an acre and has maintained his
residence at that place up to the pres
ent time. On January 10th, V. A. AL
derson, of this city, without any knowl-
edge of Cushman's previous settlement,
made homestead entry of the same tract
at the Wausau land office. On the 23d
inst, Cushman applied to make entry,
and alleged actual settlement aud occu-
pancy on January IL, tour days prior 10
the entry of Anderson. AT the hearing
Cushman having proven the facts al
legged in his affidavit, the officers award
ed the right of entry to him. Mr.. Al
derson being convinced of the good
faith of the settler gracefully conceded
the justice of his claim, waived his right
of appeal and relinquished his entry,
and Mr.. Cushman made entry Of the
tract in due form. A conversation with
the attorneys III the case revealed the
fact that there was, in their minds but
one side in law and equity to a case
which bore the distinctive features OF
this case. The land involved was the
sw sw, of sec. 4; lot 5, of sec. 5; lot l, OF
sec. and lot l of sec. 8, townships 81
and 39. 9.--Wausau Central.

Our Home MERCHANTS.

H me merchants and manufacturers
should receive the exclusive patronage
of home people. This is Il subject that
should be constantly agitated by every
one interested in the prosperity of the
city or village he lives in. If you buy a
bill of goods of any character it is your
duty, and to YOUR interest in the long
run, to pationize the home merchants,
even if you have to pay small per
cent. more for the goods than the same
would cost you in foreign market.
The merchant is here for your conven-
fence and if he is not patronized he can
not stay; and without him is to be with
out the convenience of his line ofgoods,
and which you would be compelled to
obtain abroad. The merchant will stay
with us just as long as our patronage
pays him, for he cannot stay longer;
and the merchant adds much to the
prosperity of a city. The more mer-
chants the greater prosperity-it is the
duty of all who have the city's interests
at heart to give him the preference OF
their trade.-ES

As this is the season of the year when
farmers are planning for their future work
on the farm, and as there is time for medi-
tation, would like to call the attention OF
greater work that we need to consider,
that is evident to all thinking men that
we are losing ground from the fact that we
leave monopolies and politicians to do the
plotting and planning and we vote to suit
them. Now, what we want to do is to
come together and discuss these questions
and arrive at some conclusion of what we
want and then say to our Represen Fatives
that we elect that you must use all honor
able means to procure this end or come
down from the high position which you
occupy and give place to one more
honorable than thou. For instance, Are

Had the people spoke before that mem
orable event all over the State as they
have spoken since, the result might have
been different. Some say that they can't
leave the dear old principles of the old
parties. No, nor you don't need to; but as
farmers and laboring men we can unite on
such matters as will be beneficial to us all,
and we can be protected by protecting our
selves, and that is the only way on Gods
green earth, and we can't do that without
su effort. Hoping to hear from many
through the columns of the press, if space
would be given. wait: HUGH.
