IMPORTANT TO HOMESTEAD
Frs.

The United States Supreme Court
has just handed down a decision that
is of vast Importance to homestead
erS.
The United States Court for the
Southern District Of Alabama found
James ID. SILVER guilty of the charge
OF cutting and selling two hundred
trees from a homestead entry lie had
made just before cutting the timber.
The court instructed the jury that
MIR SILVER had the right to cut the
timber for making improvements or
Tor exchange for lumber to make the
improvements, but nc: for sale. The
case was appe2itd to the Court of APP
!nedIs and the court asked the Supreme
Court Of the United States to answer
these questions
l. Whether lands duly and properly
entered for a homestead are from the
time OF entry until final disposition
by the land department, no longer
lands of the United States, within the
meaning Of section No, 264l, revised
statutes?
2. Can Il citizen who has made a
homestead entry upon public lands tie
held criminally liable for cutting and
removing after such entry, standing
trees and timber on the land?
After discussing the scope and effect
OF the land laws, the Supreme Court
the United States answered the ques.
tions. in an opinion read by Justice
Brewer, the first in the negative and
the second 10 the affirmative.

The political campaign is hotter this
fall than it has been any year since the
war, when there was not a president to
be elected. Perhaps the Populists have
infused an element of pop" into the
air. Everywhere the registration has
been almost phenomenally large from
the day the lists were opened. The vote
the country over will be enormous, per-
haps exceeding the last presidential
wear, And when the result Of the cleo
ton is known there will be surprises
all along the line.

HELENA, Jan. o. Especial cores
pondence of the MADISONIAN]-The
fourth legislative assembly of the state
of Montana is in session, and indica-
tions point to a busy meeting;and after
the selection of the toga-weares, the
accomplishment of much needed legis-
lation.
Never, on previous occasions, has
the rush for minor positions, on the
staff OF the senate and house organiza-
tons been greater than at this ses-
sion. Every county was we'll repre-
gented by applicants. The weaker sex
were out in force for clerkships, and
the distinguished senator from old Mad
ison, ever gallant and courteous, is
said to have promised his support to
each of 80 fair applicants, notwithstand-
ing the fact that there were only half
a dozen clerkships to which ladies we're
eligible. Y
The senate is officered as follows:
Senator D. E. Folsom, of Meaghery
president pro TEN; Frederick H. Eos
ter, of Billings, secretary; Jas. B.
Wells, of Helena, assistant secretary;
E. S. Stackpole, of Deer Lodge, SER
geant-at-arms; M. Hartley, of Missoula,
assistant sergeant-at-arms; Mrs. Maud
Davis Baker, enrolling clerk; G. e.
Wight, of Meagher, engrossing clerk;
Thos. E Amos, of Silver Bow county,
d]oorkeeper; Rev. w. B. Combs, of Mis-
soula, chaplain.
The officers of the house are: Willis
H. SWEET, of Silver Bow, speaker; AL
Ian r. Joy, of Park conunty, speaker

ty, assistant sergeant-at-arms; j. D.

POULTRY DIVISION AT THE tx
PERTINENT STATION.

The North Carolina Experiment Sta,
ton has added another division to the
several already in operation, which
will be known as the Poultry Division.
Among the specific studies for this di-
vision will be first to ascertain the best
breeds of poultry which can be recon-
mended fer diff, rent sections of the
State, how to raise them economically,
including the best treatment for dis
eases and insects, and how to prepare
and ship to market all poultry pro
ducts. 1t will be the endeavor to fos-
ter the industry in North Carolina 80
that a profitable and financially pay
ing business may be inaugurated in any
locality or on any farm. AS but little
capital is required, the returns for the
investment should be large.
The Station proposes to publish edu-
cational bulletins to bring the matter
before the attention Of the people Of
the Safe, and to extend sUch knowl-
edge to all who raise poultry as would
be of benefit in the management, prep
aration and shipment TO market.
The Poultry manager in charge of
the Poultry Division of the Experiment
Station will be Mr.. F. E. Hege, now of
the Riverside Poultry Farm, of New
bern, N. @. He will enter upon his
work on December 1st, on the farm of
the Station adjoining the State Fair
Grounds.
The raising of poultry and poultry
products for market Gn North Caro-
lina) is susceptible to great extension,
and the new departure by the Station
will, without doubt, contribute largely
to that end, and will, consequently,
prove OF great and far reaching value.

There is only $55, 146, 527 in silver in

speaking of our circulation, has al
ways claimed that we had about $425,-
600, 900 in silver In circulation, and has
never paid the slightest attention to
the statement that part of the circula-
ton that it claimed was locked up.
There is in the treasury, according to

more than half as much money locked
up in the United States Treasury alone
as there is in our reputed circulation,

cial prating of such scoundrels.
A. G. Charlton, Cashier of the Rich
land, Iowa, bank, is missing. Several
thousand sound dollars, including
50, 900 county money, is missing, also.
Yet the bank fellows are the mes who
are backing up Cleveland and his
schemes to ruin the public. They are
the goldbugs of the country.
