A GENERAL CRAZE.
Prominent Citizens of Ashland and
Other Cities Filing on Omaha
Lands.
There Are Also a Large Number Of
squastefs and There viii Be
Contests.
The Land Locaters With Their Little
Maps Are Reaping Rich
Harvest.

AsHLANp, Wis, Jan. 10.-The desire
to filed omaha lands has reached the
proportions of general craze and has
spread to such an extent that the most
prominent citizens in Ashland and sur
rounding cities have thrown up their
business f4 sufficient time to rush
over to the local land Office and make
application for some choice quarter sec
tons the land locaters may have looked
up for them.
Itdeyeloped late in the afternoon why
the Iron river applicants did not arrive
as expected, The land grabbers out
there have been trained under different
tactics. They have made a grand rush
out into the woods and will sum-
marily squat on the lands they
wish, and thus hope to hold them.
Between Saturday night and early Mon
day morning it is estimated that a
couple of hundred of land rustlers took
to the woods. It is we'll known that
first in line wins" In other words, II
ga" makes and can prove actual settle
ment on land at a. m. and "B" makes
application at the land Office for the
same land at 9 a. m. the chances are
that "a" will win.
-.. Will File Later. --- ~
The Iron river and Brule people pre-
ferred not to wait for the opening Of the
Ashland Office at 9 a. m. and they there
fore located themselves on their lands
Sunday and will make application later.
This accounts for the small number Of
outsiders applying. .-. - 6. r
Applicants at the land Office must file
notice of appeal within 80 days, or else
their application goes for nothing.
Ladies were present and also made ap-
plications. The fling of each applica-
ton is rejected, but in case the lands
are opened these applicants have the
first chance at cost of only 81. ~ :
Land locaters are reaping rich
harvest, as the majority of those max
ing application for lands have not the
slightest idea where they are sit
uated. These locaters have card
maps of the land in question and
check off quarters as they are filed upon,
thus keeping record. They charge
fees for giving descriptions which have
not been filed upon and their business is
becoming most prolific. The rush will
likely continue for some time. When
the squatters begin to arrive for the pur-
pose of making application for lands
upon which they have squatted the real
contest will begin.

Col. WattersOn's Lecture.

The star-eyed goddess of reform sat upon
a lofty throne at Albaugh's last evening and
many people came to do her honor Her
high priest, the famous editor-orator Of
Kentucky, the man who writes what peo-
pie love to read, and who says what people
love to hear, Henry Watterson, was there
to pour out libation of eloquence to the
goddess. Col. Watterson had for the subject
of his lecture THE Compromises of Life
If he had taken the weather or the man in
the moon for the spool to wind about the
web of his thought, he would have interest
ed his hearers none the less. His audience
was a friendly one. Any audience would be
friendly to this kind-hearted, honest son of
the blue grass country. They followed his
utteranceS with the closest attention from
the moment he began with few generali-
ties about the geometry of nature, through
his wanderings among the realms of thought,
with wit upon one side and pathos on the
other, to the very end, which was an earnest
and eloquent prayer for the perpetuation Of
the Union. Col. Watterson was introduced
by the Vice President as a man who needed
no Introduction. Surely those who heard
him last night will never need another, for
his words sank deep in their minds, to bring
forth good fruit in the case of many.

An Attractive Exhibit.

Those who have seen examples Of the
work of Miss Elizabeth Nourse and the
many who are more or less acquainted will
her career will be glad that an opportunity
is to be given Of seeing it comprehensively
Mr.. v. G. Fischer today opens an exhibition
of some sixty of Miss Nourse's pictures al
his gallery, 500 18th street.
Miss Nourse is thoroughly trained
painter. and her work has the solidity AND
vigor usually supposed to belong peculiarly
to that of men; but it also excels in the
poetic and tender qualities. There is 9
depth of feeling and sentiment which can
not fail to please those who, perhaps. would
not also entirely appreciate the sound tech
nique underlying.
Miss Nourse's experience Of six years In
Europe has been such as to place her in the
front rank of young American painters
Her work has attracted the fattering at
tention of many noted artists and has beer
exhibited repeatedly at the Paris Salon, the
Kunst Ausstellung At Chicago Miss Nourst
received a medal for her admirable exhibit
She was for a time a pupil at the Julien
School in Paris and afterward worked under
the celebrated painter. Carolus Duran; but
by his advice, her studies WERE for the
most part, carried on independently. She
had been well grounded in the rudiments
before going abroad. So, living in Paris

THE MOODY MEETINGS
Preparations Completed for The Great
Gatherings.
The Final Rehearsal of the Choir To-
morrow Evening-NO Tickets of
Admission Needed.

There will be no tickets issued for admis-
sion to the Moody meetings, which begin
wednesday evening, other than those to
the choir. pastors Of cooperating churches,
Christian workers and ushers not on duty.
These will use the K street entrances of
Convention Hall. and admission there will
be by ticket only. The l. street entrance
will be absolutely free to the public, and
the doors will be open so that there will be
no need Of crowding.
The ushers will meet at the hall on Tues
day evening. Those who have not their
tickets and badges should secure them at
once at the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton from Mr.. ]. E. Pugh, chairman Of the
usher committee. The list of ushers is full.
and no more will be needed. The list of
names for the different days will be print
ed tomorrow, so that each usher will know
when he is expected to be on duty. The
number of volunteers is SO great that they
are divided into two sections, alphabetical
ly arranged. From A to and including H
will be on duty for one week, beginning
Wednesday, February Z. From 1 to will
be in charge for the week beginning We'd
nesday, February H. A to H will return
February p, and to u will hold sway the
last week of the meetings, beginning Feb
ruary Is to and including March 6.
1t is expected that the ushers who are
not on active duty will be present to render
any special service that may be required Of
them.
The Last Choir Rehearsal.
Everything Is about ready in connection
with the great choir for the Moody and
Sankey services, and judging from the last
rehearsals 1t will not only prove to be the
biggest, but one Of the best choruses ever
heard in this city, which is saying a great
deal for the capital city. Director Foster
has carefully drilled the singers until some
of the staccato, piano and crescendo effects
are wonderful for such a crowd In so short
an acquaintance with each other. Less
dead wood" Is in this choir than is gener-
ally the case in large musical organizations
this matter Is the fact that nearly all the
choirs of the city are represented in the
membership, and. in fact, a very large pro-
portion Of singers are ready readers of
music.
While the great tones of the pipe organ
will be missed in Convention Hall, this will
be in a large measure offset by the use of a
concert grand piano, powerful reed organ
and a large orchestra, which latter is doing
fine work.
The final rehearsal of every one connected
In. any way with the music will take place
tomorrow Tuesday evening, at 730 o'clock
In the Convention Hall, 5th and l. streets.
1t Is absolutely necessary for every men,
Der of the choir to attend in order to receive
complete instructions for the work to begin

sary building at PIT Delaware avenue north

ton Herewith, emergency hospital

1t.
There is a very efficient board Of direc-
tors, the officers being: Mr.. Chas. c. Lam
caster, president; Mr.. Henry *. Simpson,
secretary. and Mr.. Geo. F. Hardin. treas
urer.

success and promote the cause Of true
charity.
