POINTERS FOR SETTLERS.


GUTHRIE, o. T., April 16.-The best
lands in the new country have been allot-
ted TO the Indians. These the Indians can
lease for a term not exceeding three years,
and they will avail themselves ofthis priv
ilege. The lands can be leased for $50
yearly per quarter-section. The settlers
would do we'll to lease these lands at once
and, when possible, use their homesteads
for pasture a three years lease of good
bottom land is better than a gypsum
homestead. One of the things to be feared
is the probable lack of good water in the
new lands. There is water enough. but it
is strongly alkaline, and one who mas tried
it knows that il makes one uncomfort
able.
All settlers should take a supply of
blankets, as the nights are cold, and undue
exposure will bring on the type of fever
peculiar to this country, and called typho-
malaria, which, in large mum Der OF cases,
has proved fatal.
Again the hue and cry about soldiers

holding powers of attorney X being raised.
This is all bosh. In the first place. the in
tention of the law is TO give the old soldiers
an advantage by reason OF their service
In the second place, the advantage is
doubtful; for but comparatively few can
be filed before every homestead will be
taken. For weeks large number OF men

TOLEDO, April l6.-DuriDg the past four
days a commission firm has received 1000
crop reports from the grain dealers OF
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas
aud Missouri, which raise two thirds OF
the winter wheat crop of the United States.
The reports show that the present pros
poets are for an average wheat crop in the
states named. Michigan reports the best
prospects, being above the average, while
Indiana aud Illinois show nearly as we'll
Ohio promises below the average, as do
Kansas and Missouri from which states,
however, the reports are not quite com
plete The prospects are somewhat less
favorable than year ago. The prospects
have improved in all ofthe states since two
weeks ago, when the agricultural bureau
report for April was gathered. Indiana
shows the most improvement and Mis-
souri, the least. Over two-thirds show
from small to decided improvement. owing
to more favorable weather. There was a
much smaller amount of wipter-killed
than usual, nearly half reporting that
none had been.
There is about quarter of the last
wheat crop remaining in those states.
Michigan reports the largest per centage.
Ohio and Indiana are next, while Illinois
aud Missouri have the smallest. The
farmers are not selling at present, partly
owing to bad roads. The majority of the
farmers say that they will sell next month,
if the pros poets for the growing crop do
not become worse, hut quarter of the
reports say that the farmers are now dis
posed to carry their surplus over unless
prices improve.

THE KANSAS CANVASS.

KANSAS CITY, April 16.-A special to the
Star from Atchison says; "A. w. Smith,
who spent yesterday in this place, does not
like the reappearance Of Marsh Murdoch
in the race for governor. be supposed he
had got rid of all opposition in the south
and southwest, and would thus go into
the convention with "A practically solid
delegation from that part OF the state. He
talked freely in caucus of HIS friends
here, and one of them is authority for the
statement that he fears Murdoch more
than he does Morrill,. He says Murdock
will get back all the friends he had before
his withdrawal from the contest, and Will
thus cripple him in his canvass. he eX-
poets Morrill, to withdraw III favor of
Murdock.
"Smith expected to be nominated on the
first ballot. Now he is not so sure, although
he expresses confidence that he will finally
be the conventions choice He says he
will get Leavenworth and Wyandotte
counties, and has fighting chance for
Atchison county.
Smith does not believe the opposition
viii fuse except on conSressman-at at-large
and attorney general. The nominee for
the latter place, he says, will be Ives.
Smiths presence caused Mr.. MorrllFs
friends TO meet last night to view the situa-
ton"
The Star, commenting upon the reap
pearance of Murdoch as a candidate for
governor, says:
The re-entrance of Mr.. Murdock in the
gubernatoriaI contest may not have pre-
cedent in Kansas, but 1t Is a good thing; a
protest against the old cut and-dried way
of doing business; and makes the race
more nearly free-for-all, and therefore
more interesting. Human friendship Is
allowed, for once. to play part III Kansas
politics and a man is put forward for the
highest office in the gift of the people by
his friends, not on the ground That he Is a
politician or because he is available or
lives on this or that range east or west OF
the principal meridian, but because he Is
a good man, and good Kansan, and has
been and is a stakeholder. Mr.. Murdock 5
candidacy has behind 1t more of the senti-
ment of good-fellowship and personal ap-
probation than is common and Ill that is
his strength"
a special TO the Times from Topeka
says Representative Dixonsof the Alliance
informed the editor OF the Topeka Demo
crat that if Colonel Murdock is ia the
field Lyon county will instruct her dele
gates tor him, or at least select Murdock
men. If Colonel Murdock is not a candi-
date the county will be for Morrill, He
thinks the Republicans will carry the

retary Noble's instructions to the United
States land Office here, prohibiting the
filing of more than two declaratory state
ments by one person, and that filings can
not be made by mail, are having the effect
of bringing personally hundreds OF old
soldiers here, who had given agents au-
thority to act for them. They have
camped in front of the land Office, and
continually wall about the abridgement OF
their rights. Those now in line are having
