Couldn't Find the Indians.

Sheriff Hubbard and posse who left
for Swan lake and upper river to corral
some Indians, reported to have been
slaughtering game and setting the for,
ests on fire, returned home Monday
night after a very hard and fruitless
journey. The boys say they were utterly
unable to discover any traces of Indians
in that locality or to even discover
where they had camped. Camping
places at least one month old were found
but nothing fresher than that. They
further say that they only discovered
about four small fires in that locality.

New Homestead Law.

The Kalispell land office is in receipt
of circular letter informing the officials
that any person who has heretofore
made homestead entry and committed
same under Section 1901, Revised Stat
utes, and the amendments thereto, shall
be entitled to the benefits of the home
stead laws as though such former entry
had not been made, but communication
under Section 1901. Revised Statutes,
shall not be allowed of an entry made
under this section. Also" that any
person who, prior to the passage of this
act, has made homestead entry, but
from any cause has lost or forfeited the
same, shall be entitled to the benefits of
the homestead laws as though such
former entry had not been made. There
fore, the land Offices are directed to not
reject a homestead application on the
ground that the applicant can not take
the prescribed oath that he has not pre-
viously made such an entry, or because
he has perfected title under Section
23O1, Revised Statutes, to land entered
under the homestead laws; but he will
be required to show by affidavit desig-
mating the entry formerly made by de-
scription of the land, number and date
of entry, or other sufficient data, to ena-
BILE the commissioner to identify same on
the records of his Office, and that it was

A Noted Visitor,

w. D, Hill of Defiance, Ohio, ex-rep-
resentative to congress from his district
and one of Ohio's leading democratic po-
litians arrived in Kalispell Wednesday
evening, on a visit to his daughters,
Mrs. J. w. Conner and F. w. Merrigold.
The gentleman contemplates a months
visit in this section of Montana, and will
visit other friends before returning east.

surprise to his children and the reunion
of family ties was celebrated in a pleas
ant evenings entertainment.

o. G. Cornish of the east side of the
river was in Kalispell this week. and

0. G. Cornish of the east side of the
river was in Kalispell this week, and
says the crops in his section are doing
fairly well; that winter wheat will yield
about 40 bushels to the acre, while
spring wheat will go about 80 bushels.
Oats will not go more than about 50
bushels owing to some kind of fly that
has damaged them to a considerable ex-
tent. Many fields of wheat are being
harvested this week and he says the
quality will be first-class.
The cutoff on the Great Northern
east of Kalispell is progressing rapidly
toward completion. The steel bridges,
of which there are several, are notable
for their strength and safety. These
bridges are set upon column foundation
piers sunk deep into the ground and the
bents are fastened strongly together by
means of iron straps, thus preventing
them spreading. When the work is COM
pleted several miles will be cut off from
the present route and better time will
be made over the line between St. Paul
and Everett.
DR.. A. r. Duncan, who has been taking
post graduate course in the New York
Polytechnic, which is clinical school for
graduates in medicine and surgery, has
returned to Kalispell to resume his prac-
tice.
The Japanese working along the line
of the Great Northern in this vicinity
are certainly very patriotic. Ever since
their country has been engaged in war
with China they save up their earnings
and transmit their money to Japan, in
order to assist their countrymen in the
struggle. The sums monthly passing
through the Kalispell post Office are of
no mean total, as high as $1,000 having
been mailed in one month. Patriotism
is good thing; but those who are posted
on the Japanese nature are led to be
lieve that their hatred for their pig tail
neighbors has more to do with the fur
nishing of money to carry on the war
than has patriotism.
Frank L. Gray, county attorney, We'd
nesday, swore to complaint before
Judge Billings for the arrest of John
Doe and Richard Roe, Indians, charging
them with killing deer during the close
season. There are several other Indians
included in the complaint. 1t appears
that for some time past band of Koote-
mai and Flathead Indians have been
killing deer and other game out of sea-
son, and County Attorney Gray is
endeavoring to enforce the law. There
seems to be an opinion among settlers in
the vicinity of the recent fires that these
rowing Indians deliberately set fire to
the forests in order to drive the deer out
so that they could better capture them.
The warrants were given to the sheriff
and he has gone in search of the male
factors.

destruction of the lumber yard and
other property belonging to E. w. Bader

damage had not been learned.

STowAWAYS THAT WERE PETS
An Interesting Pair That Came
Abroad to City of Rome on
n Recent Trip.

A pair without money, passage tick
cts or luggage boarded the steamship
City of Rome on her last trip from
Glasgow to this port just at the clos
ing hour for sailing, says a New York
exchange. They did not attempt to
conceal themselves as stowaways, but
deliberately moved among the passen-
gers. AS night came on they failed to
go into a stateroom. They did not ask
for place at the table. AS soon as
their presence became known to most
of the passengers they We'd with one
another in making this pair comfort
able. AS it grew darker they disap-
peared but with the break of day they
were found upon the deck again, as
happy as could be, and they did not
leave the ship the entire voyage.
They were pair of sparrows, and
they became SO tame that they would
eat from the hand of a passenger while
perched upon the passengers other
hand. The children of the ship became
fond of them, and just as the vessel
was nearing port one of the birds was
killed by the fall OF little girl who
had it in her hand.
In the excitement of the near ap-
proach to land the other was forgotten
and the time of it's disappearance was
unknown.

all the promise of his earlier and shorter
works.
One OF the most extraordinary, yet per.

was that made by Anthony Hope in the
'Dolly Dialogues" America aud England
alike rejoiced in the refined and subtle hu'

in series of "More Dolly Dialogues in
which all the charm of the earlier work is
continued.
McClure's Magazine for December will
contain an intimate account OF the fall OF
Richmond and the fight of the Confederate
Cabinet. at the close of the Civil war. his
article is from the pen of Stephen X. Nal

CHINESE JUSTICE.
The Prisoner Must First Confess Bc-
fore He Can lie Punished
by Law.

"June %, at ten o'clock" says the
interesting passages from his diary
published in Frank Leslie's Popular
Monthly, 81 went down with 80 men to
attend a meeting of the Chinese court.
The business to-day consisted in com
pairing the English and Chinese records
of the case and making them agree.
They reeXamined the two leaders, who
are the Chung brothers, and occupied
nearly the whole day in trying by diff
ferent tortures to make these fellows
confess to their guilt. One proceeding
rather amused me, although it was
barbarous. The leading mandarin had
asked one of these brothers several
questions, to which he would not an
swer to the satisfaction of the court, so
the mandarin wrote out the evidence
as he thought the criminal ought to
speak it, and then told him to acknowl-
edge that it was correct; and when the
poor fellow refused to comply with the
courts request, he was tortured until
he tainted in the courtroom and had to
be removed. BY the Chinese laws they
cannot punish a person until he con-
fesses to everything. If the court
thinks the prisoner is telling lies they
torture him for the truth; or, il he
does not speak as they wish him to and
will not confess his guilt, they torture
him in the most cruel manner until he
does as they wish. AS soon as he con-
fesses, he is beheaded, frequently in
one hour. was told in court that very
often criminal would die under his
tortures rather than confess himself
guilty. These, l suppose, are rare

cent of the crime charged. have seen

Extension of Rural Delivery
System Urged.
PROVED A SUCCESS WHEREVER TRIED
Cirst Assistant Postmaster General
johnson Says the Change Can he
Effected without Excessive
Cost TO the Government.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-An enthu-
siastic plea for "A wide expansion of rural
free delivery is made in the annual re-
port of w. NJ. johnson, first assistant
postmaster general. He says that the
extraordinary development of this sys-
TEN during the past II months under the
stimulus of appropriations of S45O,oOO
for the fiscal year 1S90-190O and $1,IoO,-
600 for the fiscal year 10O0-1901, is CON
elusive as showing that hereafter it must
be permanent and expanding feature OF
the postal administration. The service
can now be extended as swiftly as con
gress may direct or as the means permit,
until it covers all those portions of the
United States now reached in whole or in
part by the more primitive methods OF
the postal service, which have come down
to us almost without change from colo
nial times. This change, Mr.. Johnson
believes can be effected without exces-
sive cost to the government.
Under ordinary conditions full route
is considered to be 20 miles, so devised
that the carrier does not pass over the
same ground twice in the same day. The
congressional representative controls the
appointments. The pay of the rural car
riers is now from $40O to $500 per an
mum. There are no civil service restric-
tions, nor restrictions as to sex, but II is
inexorably required that appointees shall
be of good character.
1t is proposed to extend rural delivery
in accordance with the demands made
from all parts of the country, so that
each individual route may be dovetaileu
upon another route hereafter to be start
ed, and with this idea constantly kept in
view rural free delivery is eventually to
extend over all well settled rural COM
munities in the United States.
Bearing on the question of cost, a
statement compiled from the books of
the office shows that from December,
$780, to Nov l. 1900 439 star routes and
mail messenger services have been dis
continued or curtailed. Between July l
and Nov. /, 1900, the first four months
of the present fiscal year, there have been
1888 additional rural free delivery routes
installed, supplying 90, ,397 people.
