~FREE-HOMES LAW.


Washington. d. c., June 9.-Land
Commissioner Hartmann today issued
instructions to all officers to carry into
effect the ~free-homes law. They are as
follows:
only settlers under homestead laws
upon agricultural lands which have al
ready been opened to settlement ac-
quired prior to the passage Of this act
by treaty or other agreement from va
rious Indian tribes, are affected by this
act.
This act does not change existing
laws as to the time of submitting final
proof and making payment of final
commissions.
Where final proof has heretofore
been made for lands affected by this
act and payment has not been made,
such payment will lot be required by
you. Where payments were authorized
to be made in installments and partial
payment has been made, but final proof
has not been made, no other or further
payment will be required when the
homestead setter makes his final proof,
except the payment of the final COM
missions and testimony fees.
Where the right to commute home
stead entries within any of the reser-
vatfons covered by the act has been
heretofore authorized by statutes
homestead s~etelers may commute their
entries therein in the time and at the
prices now fixed by existing laws.
Entries where settlement and resi-
dence are not requisite do not come
within the provisions of this act"

The resignation of Mr.. John w. Hay
las caused an expression of regret
among railroad men of all classes. He
is an executive officer of rare tact and
ability and had the happy faculty OF
making friends Of those under his di,
rection. Mr.. Hay will bear with him
the best wishes of a host of friends on
the Wyoming division no matter where
his lot may be cast. Mr.. C.. A. Boies
his successor, is well known to the PEG,

1t is said hat during the Franco
German war a French gunner was
commanded by his colonel to fire on
a small house which was believed to
be a nest Of Prussians. "Try it with
a shell, my man. said the officer.
With pale face Pierre obeyed. He
sighted his piece deliberately and ac-
c%urately, then fired it. We'll hit, my
man, well hit" said the officer as he
looked through his glass. That cot
tage could not have been very solid.
It's completely smashed" Turning
round, he noticed a tear stealing down
the %gunner's cheek. why, what's the

FLOWER

ut is a surprising fact" says Prof
Houston, that in my travels in al
parts of the world, for the last ter
years l have met with more people
having used Green's August Flower
than any other remedy, for dyspepsia
deranged liver and stomach, and for
constipation. l find for tourists and
statesmen, or for persons filling office
positions, where headaches and general
bad feeling from irregular habits exist,
that Green's August Flower is a grand
remedy. 1t does not injure the system
by frequent use, and is excellent for
sour stOmachs and Indigestion" Sam
