During the four years ended Novem'
Der /, 1897, there were made 4,4S4 orig
inal homestead entries, or $50 more
than were made during the preceding
four years.
Missouri is the only state containing
government lands which are subject
to cash entry. All the lands enumer
ated in the lists can be purchased 81
the rate of $l.25 per acre, except sucf
tracks as were embraced in homestead
entries and reverted to the govern
ment. These can only be secured ol

WASHINGTON, Dec. 94.-lmmediately
after the holidays delegations in con-
press from several states will get to-
gether for the purpose OF organizing
If possible, for the passage OF an omnl-
bus public building bill. Such COM
binaton was talked about during the
Fifty.Fourth congress, but 1t was
abandoned because the distressed
condition of the treasury aroused
decided opposition on the part
Of the leaders of both parties
There is an urgent demand for public
buildings In many cities and towns
and bills for their construction are now
pending to the amount Of no less than
| $50. 900, 900, 1t is not likely that the
entire list Of bills would be included
in an omnibus bill, but the proposed
expenditure would be so distributed
as to command the greatest possible
number OF votes.
