FREE HOMES BILL
PASSES THE HOUSE.
Amended so as to Leave Out
Land in Wichita Reserva-
ton.
OKLAHOMA VITALITY AFFECTED.
Measure Involves Disposal of Millions
OF Acres of Public Domain.

Washington, d. c., May 3.-The
free homes bin, passed by the house
to-day, carried with it an amendment
OF supreme Importance to the south
west. The amendment was proposed
by Representative Cannon, and pro
vides that no Indian reservation not
vet coded to the government under
treaty shall be included in the opera
ton of the act.
This means in it's application to
Oklahoma that Wichita reservation.
comprising 491 1888 acres of choice
laud, will not be included in the lands
opened to home seekers under the
bill passed to-day. As the senate
has twice passed a measure precti-
cally identical with the house bill,
there seems little doubt that the bill
will get to the white house and receive
official sanction before the close oil
the present session of congress.
The Importance of the action taken
to-day is indicated by the fact that ii
involves the manner and conditions
of disposal of about 1000, 900 acres
of the public lands, the Indian title to
| which has been ertipguished within
the last dozen years. twill be noted
that the total value of the lands. es
timated at 81 % an acre-sOme being
| worth more and some less than thai
sum-would be from So 900, 900 tC
S55 100000. If all the lands Were
suitable for homestead purposes anG
should be so entered under the home
stead act they would Furnish 262, 200
or 275, 900 homesteads of 100 acres
each, which at ST. each, the amount
of land office fees for honest ad
entry, would amount to from 81,
462 800 to $4,575, 900, which would
be the maximum amount The govern
ment would receive for ~ 900, 900 to
A 100000 acres. or fraction more
than 10Y cents an acre, to reimburse
it for cost OF surveys, fees and salaries
of office 5, etc.

The Chicago Tribune is to publish q
supplement commemorative of the
work of Andrew Jackson, and wrote
to former President Grover Cleveland
for an article upon Old Hickory.
Cleveland has been i'll for some time,
and was unable to return an extended
article, but in a brief letter he jabs the
present wrangling leaders of the DEM
ocratic party as follows:
q wish it was to be published at a
time when saner ~counsels prevailed
in the party he did SO much to
strengthen and place upon frmer
foundations.
1T seems to me that the Inconsistency
of unreasoning and false party leader
ship is ~smpressiyely exhibited when
the claim is made that ~Jacksonian
democracy sanctions the degradation
of the peoples currency and a reckless
disregard of the restraints of law and
order"

ut is a rapid firing gun and catches
both going and coming and always re-
sets itself. A hole should be dug in
the ground to receive a box or barrel
and deep enough SO the top is just even
with the surface OF the ground. The
trap is then placed on the box with
the fall doors directly over it. Cover
the sides Of the box on each side OF
the trap and throw a few weeds or
brush over 1t all, leaving the ends OF
the trap uncovered, and your work is
complete. No bait is required. The
rabbits are attracted by the brush
heap, and when once there they see
the opening and try to pass through 1t
and are trapped. TO make the trap
take two boards 1 by 8, 311A or four feet
long, for the sides and two boards / by
4, A feet long, for the top and bot
tom. The top and sides should be nall
ed together first, then saw the bot

News and Notes.

The United States department OF
agriculture has in press and will soon
issue bulletin No. ~, Office OF expert
ment stations, entitled "Farmers'
Reading Courses" The bulletin was
prepared by Professor Il. Fl. Bailey,
NJ. S. professor Of horticulture In Cor
nell university, and gives a history OF
the organization of farmers reading
courses, which have become an Inn
portant factor among the agencies for
diffnsing knowledge and promoting
enthusiasm among the farmers. The
bulletin contains lists of books used in
various reading courses.
No marked crop departure from the
ten year average Is noted for any OF
the principal tobacco growing states
this season, says the crop circular.
The indicated average yield per acre
of potatoes, according to government
reports. is 1871 bushels per acre, as
compared with 1872 bushels last year,
GAG bushels in 1897 and 1872 bushels,
the mea OF the preliminary averages
of the last ten years. The average per
cent OF quality is 91.4.
Practical forestry In the Adiron-
dacks, bulletin No. 90, contains an ac-
count of work accomplished under the
offer made In 1898 by the agricultural
department to assist farmers, lumber
men and others III handling their for

Spanish connection had endured that
length of time. A full territorial reg
ime is not likely to be granted to. the
Philippines for many years yet to
come, but that, or something which
will be as satisfactory to the Filipinos,
is a certainty of the not distant future.
The granting of a territorial govern
ment would not necessarily mean that
the locality receiving it was thus
started on the road to statehood. Con-
gress has the power to admit or reject
states. The Filipinos will be treated
with great liberality by the American
people, but the probability is that they
will never be admitted to statehood.
The close of Mr.. Beveridge's address
is worthy of carful attention:
Mr.. President, this question is deeper
than any question of party politics;
deeper than any question of the iso-
lated policy of our country, even;
deeper even than any question of con
stitutional power. 1t is elemental.
1t is racial. God has not been pre-
pairing the English speaking and Teu-
tonic peoples for a thousand years for
nothing but vain and idle self-con-
temptation and standardization. No!
He has made us the master organizers
of the world to establish system where
chaos reigns. He has given us the
spirit of progress to overwhelm the
forces of reaction throughout the
earth. He has made us adopts in gov
eminent that we may administer gov
eminent among savage and senile peo-
pies. Were it not for such a force as
this, the world would relapse into bar
barism and night. And of all our race
He has marked the American people
as His chosen nation to finally lead in
the regeneration of the world. This
is the divine mission of America, and
it holds for us all the profit, all the
glory. all the happiness possible to
man. We are trustees of the worlds
progress; guardians of it's righteous
peace. The judgment of the Master
is upon us: Ye have been faithful
over a few things; / will make you
ruler over many things"
Mr.. President and senators, adopt
the resolution onered that peace may
quickly come, and that we may begin
our saving, regeneration and uplifting
work. Adopt it and this b1oodshed
will cease when these deluded children
Of u islands learn that this is the
final action of the representatives Of
the American people in congress as
sembled Reject it and the world,
history and the American people viii
know where to forever fix the awful
responsibility for the consequences
that will surely follow such failure to
do our manifest duty. How dare we
delay when our soldiers blood is flow
ing?

The shovel pillow is bolted to q solid 3
by 8 piece about two feet long, the 9th
er end of which is placed solidly
against the under side of the tongue
and hinged SO that 1t car be raised and
lowered by a lever to which the point
Is attached by a chain. The lever is
shown just in front Of the wheel and
near the whsf1etrees. A rude box of
three or four bushels capacity is built
between and yer the wheels, slanting
toward the seat, SO that, as the pota
toes are used out of the rear end, those
remaining will roll toward the opera
tor, always keeping within his easy
reach. A spout or tube four or i've
inches square leads from the rear of
the box to the furrow behind the.plow.
The operator sits at his ease on the
spring seat, picking up the potatoes
and dropping them at regular intervals
into the spout. I find 1t works better
to take only n piece in the hand at a
time, dropping in the spout with one
hand while reaching after a seed piece
with the other. The spout is followed
by the coverers, which leave the
ground slightly ridged over the seed.
A cross narrowing just before the
sprouts begin to show leaves the
ground level and in fine condition.
The front end of the frame to which
the coverers are attached is hinged to
the two real upright pieces which sup
port the box. A lever is beside the
seat to raise and lower the at
the end Of the rows. The coverer frame
should be hung low at the front end,
and the Killers must be set just the
right distance apart and at just the
right angle.
A little trouble arose at first in this
respect. One seed piece when drop
ped would stop just where it first
touched the ground and the next one
might roll or jump ahead a foot or
more, thus making them lie at un-
equal distances when dropped evenly
In point Of time. This was overcome
by mailing to the front and sides Of the
lower end Of the spout a piece Of an
old rubber bootleg which touched the
bottom of the furrow. Then the seed
had to stay right where it dropped.
A mar to drive the team and to raise
and lower the pillow at the ends, anoth-
er mar to feed the machine and OPP
crate the lever which controls the COW
erers and a team which walks not too
rapidly can mark, furrow, drop and
cover five or six acres in a day. The
machine does not work satisfactorily
on billy land. It will work up or down
the hill all right, but going sideWise II
is inclined to slide.
