jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 2l.-The

not constitute q rule of conduct aiid
that the act imposes an occupation

siderable PREF. ,aration for q crop, and

lis going on all round. We intend to

'clPse to my place, SO we will be strict
y in line. 1t would have amused you
rto have been here last spring. There
were crowds Of land-seekers, and some
itimes in the spring the prairie is not
very inviting, and Of course lots were
disseminated. There was one in the
crowd who jumped on me for putting
n letter in the paper, only for which he
never would have come here, and he
was very hostile, but eventually he got
aplace, and to-day claims he would not
take Thousand Dollars and move out,
80 am glad he is satisfied.
