There is probably no agricultural
portion of America attracting so much
attention today as the great wheat
fields of Oklahoma. The country is a
beautiful, undulating prairie, and is
rapidly filling up with hustling farmers
from the north. AS result land val
ues are going steadily upward and the
actual settler, or capitalist. looking for
profitable investment will make mis-
take in not investigating the country
at once.
Our next excursion will leave OF

nette-Insane Man Commits Suicide
Workman Patents an Invention.

When the Racine board of public works
met to receive bids for the building OF
96O feet of dock on the north side of the
river not single bid was submitted by
contractors. 1t is feared that on account
of the difference of opinion between the
city and property owners the improve
ment to the harbor, whereby it was to
be made sixty feet wide and twenty-one
feet deep, will fall. The United States
Government appropriated $165,OOO for
this and other harbor work, and the con-
tract for the removal of thousands OF
yards of earth has been let. William
FL. Lathrop, who owns 500 feet Of prop
erty adjoining the river and whose as
sessment amounts to $11 ,OOO gave notice
that he would contest the assessment,
and contractors refuse to take the work
unless the city guarantees pay.

HANDWRITING EXPERTS.
What Conan Doyle Said of Carva1ho's
Wonderful Deductions.

Wonderful DeOuCt1OnSs
It is not alone on questions Of hand
writing that handwriting experts are
called upon to testify. Thumb impress
sions, around which Mark Twain in
..Pudd'nhead Wilson built his ingeni-
Gus story, have sometimes formed the
basis Of very convincing testimony. CO.
nan Doyle said that Carvalhos deduc-
tions in the case Of the robbery of $780,
600 from a package of the American
Express Company, for nicely of reason
ing and extraordinary coincidence,
eclipsed anything any one ever dared
put into fiction.
In 1894 Asa Guy Quincy was tried on
the charge of stealing large sum of
money from the express company. 1t
was proved that Quincy had opened the
safe where the package had been
placed, taken it out and deposited it in
another safe. 1t was found that large
sum was missing. The evidence was
purely circumstantial. The envelope
containing the money bore upon it, how
ever, thumb impression. Mr.. Caryaho
testified that Che impression on the en-
yelope and several impressions of Cur
neys thumb correspondent exactly and
commended that there were no two
thumbs in the world alike. But such
evidence was too subtle for the rural
Jury which tried the case and the pris-
oner was acquitted.
1t is to be recorded as a tribute to the
accuracy of Carvalho's testimony that
Quincy soon after confessed.

Patents His Invention.

Lars Peterson of Manitowoc, a ship
carpenter working at the yards of Bur-

rotary steam engine which will prevent
back pressure of steam on the piston.
The invention is very simple, though
claimed to be effective in accomplishing
it's object. Peterson has had the mat
ter under consideration for long time.

Land Office Notes.

The case of Charles B. Unzicker VS..
Joseph i. Craig, which came up in the
local land Office for hearing July iS, 1899,
over 100 acres of land near Forest, has
been decided by the commissioner of the
general land Office at Washington, ID. c.,
in favor Of Unzicker, which confirms the
decision of the local land Office The
case is one where contestant alleged that
the contestce did not reside on the land
as required by law. That some time du-
ring the month OF June, 1896, the entry
man erected a small house on the said
land, and it was late i'll the spring of 81
before he had stove in the house; that
he only spent one night on the place,
cooking his meal out of doors, after which
lie left for the state Of Washington to
teach school, and the defendant never
raised crop Oh the land. From the evil
derce offered the department find that
"the defendant merely attempted to make
colorado compliance with the law
rather than establish his home on the
i"hu SpOl iditli, anu dWdIuS the Iunu
to contestant.
In the case Of Angus A. McPhee VS.
Grace Woodwork, the commissioner of
the General Land Office of the depart
ment1 of the interior has decided the
case in favor of Miss Woodwork. The
case is one in which Miss Woodwork
made application to file on timber and
stone location and advertised the same
according to law. but as witnesses could
not be brought to the local land Office at
the date set for filing, a new application
was made and later date set for filing.
In the meantime McPhee made applica-
ton to file a homestead on the land in
question contending that his application
for homestead was no bar TO him, as she
failed to make proof under her first adj.
vertisement. The department holds that
inasmnch as McPhee made second APP
plication, and the further fact that no ad- |
verse claims were presented during the
first advertisement that the land iuvolv-
ell be awarded to Miss Woodwork. The
land in question is located in the White
Pine country.
