UTE RESERVATION IS OPEN
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE MAKE A
RUSH FOR HOMES.
Little Excitement and No Trouble
Attending the Taking Up of
Lands-Rich Strip Of Land

Durango. Colo, May 4.-The opening
of that portion CT the Ute reservation
located in Colorado occurred at noon
today, according to the proclamation of
President Mckinley. Hundreds of per-
sons were gathered at the reservation
line waiting for the signal. Practically
adj of them had selected their locations
beforehand, and there was little confu-
sion, and, so far as known, no serious
trouble.
Many persons who had been holding
places in the line at the land office
changed their minds today and Joined
the rush for the locations in the Ute
lands.
Whistles and bells proclaimed the
hour of opening. Scores of men who
had been holding places in ffne sold out
half an hour before the opening. Fifty
dollars was the prevailing price. 1t is
estimated that 1000 people sought in
various ways to secure land. The
streets of Durango were crowded, aIs1
there was great rejoicing.
There was no central starting points,
and men were scattered along the Colo
RADIO and New Mexico lines for forty
miles awaiting the hour, many with no
means of rapid transit. From Durango
hundreds of well-mounted and we'll
armed men began pushing to the front
time to reach favorite sections.
The Durango Democrat discouraged
many in line this morning by declaring
that every reputable attorney in Du-
range had advised clients to settle on
the land and file at any time within
the limit provided by law.
surprise was sprung when Buff
falo" Jones suddenly appeared near
Iynacio with 800 followers from Guth-
rie, Okla, and was met by DR.. Z. =.
Allen. who was prominent in the open-
ing of the famous Cherokee strip. The
latter has been sojourning in and
around Durango with some halfbreed
Cherokees for the past week, and early
this morning started to join forces with
Buffalo" Jones, with the determina-
ton of starting 2 townsite and bond
ing the same. Their objective point is
near Ignacio. The town, it is under
stood. will be called Tabor.
The lands in the Ute reservation,
opened to settlement today, are located
in the southwest corner of Colorado.
The territory consists of tract seven
teen miles wide and about nine miles
long, containing about 100000 acres.
The greater part of this land is smooti.
and tillable, provided irrigation can be
provided for. Several thousand acres
of the land was allotted to the Ute
Indians in several places before the
order was issued, this including many
choice locations.

STATE LAND BOARD.
Several Important Matters Disposed
of Before Adjournment.

Yesterday the state land board
cleared up the business in hand and
adjourned until the next regular meet
ing, June 6. Aside from passing upon
numerous extraordinary preference
right applications for purchase of lands
on school sections, the board adopted
a resolution directing the secretary to
notify persons on whose. applications
lands have been selected, to come in
and make contracts and pay therefor
at the rate of % cents an acre within
thirty days from notice, according to
the terms of the new law. Failure so
to do on the part of intending pur-
chasers will result in such selections
being sold at auction.

road company's application for right of
way across school sections for its short
extension or spur in Salt Creek can

the company to file. within ten days,

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, Safe But Effect
ual Cure For It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurabIe
The usual symptoms are a full or
bloated sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
risings, formation of gases, causing
pressure on the lungs and heart and
difficult breathing; headache, tickle APP
petite, nervousness and general
played-out and languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth coated tongue, and if the in
terror of stomach could be seen it
would show Shiny, inflamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate disease is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily
and thoroughly digested before it has
time to ferment and irritate the deli
cate mucous surfaces of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy di-
gestion is the one necessary thing to
do, and when normal digestion is Sc
cured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet. composed of Dias-
trse, Aseptic Pepsin, a little NuX, Col
den Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at
all QEuS stores uIQeI the name OF STU
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not be
ing a patent medicine, can be used with
perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough diges-
ton will follow their regular use after
meals.
Mr. N. J. Booher, of 271O Dearborn
street, Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh
is a local condition resulting from a
neglected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes
infiameG and the poisonous discharge
therefrom, passing back into the throat,
reaches the stomach, thus producing
catarrh of the stomach. Medical au-
thorities prescribed for me three years
for catarrh of the stomach without
cure, but today / am the happiest of
men after using only one box of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. l cannot find
appropriate words TO express my good
feeling / have found flesh. appetite
and sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as well as the SIM
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of indigestion, catarrh of the
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach,
heartburn and bloating after meals.

MUNICIPAL SPRINKLING.
The New Carts Went Out Yesterday,
and Much Is Expected of Them.

At the expense of Studebakers and
headed by Held's band, the city's new
sprinkling carts were out on parade
yesterday noon before going into serv-
ice. The drivers are green at the bust
ness of filling the carts from the
hydrants and throwing water, but af-
ter a few days practice they will get
along all right. If, however, they fail
to cover their respective districts
other men will be employed. Chair
man Patrick of the council committee
on street sprinkling admonished the
drivers yesterday to write success in
the palms of their hands and to al
ways keep the word before them. Mr..
Patrick expects the twenty-five carts
to do all the city's sprinkling better
than it has ever been done before.

100 drunk to give any Ineligible account
of the affair, and everybody in the local
ity denies any knowledge of the trouble.
The officers believe he was held and de-
Hberately beaten by one or more men, and
another opinion is that he and a cOlOred
man had quarreled and fought over Il

it is that Earl is a badly used up man.

When calm had settled in the court

Later on Director W. H. Roy testified
that he was present, and heard him

for Wells, Fargo & Co., to have him
testify that the erasures on the note

admitted signatures of Hedges.
