There lie no dispute about wager, no claim

 Affidavit of contes' was filed July :, 1900, citing all parties of interest to appear at this office for hearing of the case on August l6, 1900. Personal service of notice was made on July 13, 1900. At date of hearing both parties appeared, the contestant being also represented by counsel.
 The affidavit alleges that 'said Anna Pugh has failed up to this thir- tieth day of June, 1900, to establish residence on the same" lclaim)
 There W re six witnesses who testi- fled at the hearing, and their evidence is all nearly the same as te the main points, showing that the claim is near an old Mexican grant claim, no one knowing just where the line' of the grant or of the public surveys are, the corners or survey markings hay gb zen destroyed. No one seemed to know where the lines ran, and only sur yeyor could find them. The lend in dispute had also been covered by a pre.emption filing made by one Wat kins some years ago. It is a cattle country. that being the principal business of those living near there. The contestant had portion of the homestead (about 70 acres) fenced and has been using 1t for pasture. The fence has been there several years. There is but little water in the vicin- ity. It appears that the claimant tried to get her claim surveyed, but was under the impression that no one but the county surveyor could do it, She was unable to get him until July l, 1900, when the survey was made. In the meantime, on the first Friday June 3) in June, she had some lum- Der hauled to the claim to make frame for tent which she had put up and i1 which she intended to live m til she could build better home. Sue had her step-father take a tent to stretch over the frame, but MT. Hen- derson ordered them away, claiming the land as part of mineral claim She then put the tent near there on what she supposed was her land, and slept there that night and also the following night. She had some fur niture and provisions there, but had to go to Mir. Bra7tf's for water. She hired a man to clear off place for the tent, but had to go back to school that she was teaching As soon as the survey was made she hired man again to help, and while she was on her way to the claim she met MT. Parks, who told her that he had title to the land. He also said that if he had no title she could not hold it, as it would be classed.as mineral land, and in fact seems to have done all he could to discourage and confuse her and keep her from holding the claim. Upon the survey being made Miss Pugh found that her tent was just outside of the limits of her claim.
 The contestant is stockman who has lived near the claim many years. He has some patented land there, be. sides other land fenced aud used by him as pasture. MT. Henderson, his witness, is also a stockman with large pasture.
 We are of the opinion that the tes- timonY of the contestant should be

 he seated that he wanted to see what
 interest he had in the land under the

 an intelligent man, and it is hard to

 nesses, and to the further fact that he
 employed one of the ablest lawyers in
 the territory to conduct his case,
 taken in connection with the fact that
 he has been using part of the land
 for pasture for years, is hard to re- concile with his statement of entire dIsinterestedness. Another point in
 his testimony that should be carefully considered is that in regard to the question of the Register, "have you ever by written notice, verbally, or any other way warned people to keep off the land embraced in Miss Pugh's homestead entry, or any part of it. he replied that he had not. The con- testee introduced as part of her tes- timouy a written notice signed by the contestant, warning people to keep of the land, and she testified positive ly that this notice was posted on tree on her homestead. This was cor roborated by witness Brash. Upon being recalled aud shown this notice, the contestant admitted that he had written and posted it on the land em- braced in Miss Pughs homestead entry. but sdId he thought it was on his own land. He did not explain away, or try to explain away his first positive statement that he had not warned any person to keep off the land, and the only possible conclusion to be arrived at is that he tried to de- ceiye and mislead. His testimony was insincere throughout. The same may be said of the testimony of contestan principal witness, A. $. The evidence shows that he also had part of the tract fenced, and that he had some hundreds of acres ot government land under fence, using it for pasture He eyaded ques- tioDs asked by the register and re- ceiver in every possible way, and showed determination to keep from telling the whole truth.
 The claimant is a young woman who makes her living by teaching school. She is well informed on most subjects, but, like many other settlers, not vetsed as to the land laws. Being un- certain as to reports and rumOrs she wrote this office for information, her letter being dated July II, 1900, two days before she was served with notice Jf contest (Letter and copy of reply uSltNlGu.j
 The testimony of contestee was frank and straightforward in it's en- Jlrlty. She admitted that her right name was Anna Fielder, but as she pad gone by the name of Pugh since she was ten years of age, that be-
 Dg now the Dame of her mother, no fraud seems to have been intended. We do not think that material to the case.
 It was well established that the claimant made settlement upon what :he supposed to be portion of her aud within the time allowed, and that she had good cause for thinking ,he was on her own land. We think she made compliance with the settle

Peninsula News and Advertiser
Now let us consider the acts OF other
candidates in passing; whatdi they do?
George V. Massey whom we all used to
respect and honor, and who yet de-
serves the esteem of every man, made
a stiff fight, and then withdrew in the
interests OF his party Anthony Hig-
gins who had represented Delaware in
the Senate with more ability than any
man since Clayton, naturally desired
reelection. He, too, withdrew because
he loved his party more than he feared
defeat. Fifteen votes went to Col. Du-
Pont, four to Addicks. Who defeated
and disrupted the party then? A sub
sidized minority of four, backed by j.
Edward Addicks.
Col. DUPONT went on and made a fight
for his seat; he could not do otherwise
since the national party thought he was
entitled to it and that Delaware ought
to be represented. IL was then that ].
Edward Addicks and his followers
showed their Republicanism (?). They
lobbied day and night to defeat the
seating Of a loyalty elected Republican
senator from Delaware.
At the last session of the General AS
sembly was Mr. Addicks a candidate?
Slightly. Was Mr. Dupont? No. It is
a well known fact that the friends OF
Col. DUPONT at a meeting in Dover
begged him 10 announce his candidacy.
He refused, saying that he did not de-
sire and never had desired to be sena-
tor. That he wished them to elect a
good Republican. -, If they desired to
hfa "a nar ,f.f I...4
he would not be a candidate We all
know that his followers voted for fif-
teen different men, and this had his
approval. For how many men did the
Addicks members vote? and what were
their methods TO secure other votes
Ask Mr. Addicks and his pocketbook.

Mr.. AddiclSs cannot be senator oi

port Of what is now the Republican
party of the state, but whose support.
ers are styled Regulars" by the Ad-
dicksites. This he knows and his lieu
tenants are so convinced and admit it
His selection to this high office, there
fore, depends upon his securing by
agreement or deception this support
Last election deception was used; this
time an agreement is sought. The
anxiety displayed by the Addicksites
to get such an agreement is convinc-
ing proof of their belief that they can
not win without us. Otherwise they
would not seek an agreement of any
kind. They would go ahead, nominate
and elect their ticket and send Addicks
TO Senate. But they cannot The Re
publicans who have opposed him in the
past will never assist him and, there
fore he cannot attain the senatorshiI
and his friends know this. If they
longer encourage him in his quest, and
therefore keep him in the fight, they are
responsible for the division and conse-
quent defeat of the Republican party
If they prefer success to Addicks, they
will nominate a ticket without regard
TO Addicks which will insure Repubh-
can success and some honored and re-
spcctcd citizen for senator.

THEIR REWARD FOR yALoR

Members of the National Guard OF
Delaware must of necessity be pleased
with the action of tho House of Repre-
sentatives in passing a bill increasing
from 100000 to s1,OO0,OOO the appro-
priation for the uses of the National
Guard OF the country, for this state will
get its proportionate share OF that ad-
ditional 100000. 1t also must be
gratifying TO the Guardsmen to know
that the debate shows that there was
no organized opposition in the House
TO the large increase, and that the final
vote on the bill was 1873 to 8.
This money will be expended for
arms and military supplies, and the
things so bought will be distributed
among the states. No doubt the ad-
mirable service rendered by the
Guardsmen in the Spanish-American
war had much to do with the practical
unanimity with which the bill was
passed.
