In HISTORIC OLD CAB|LDO.
Where Sovereignty Twice Passed
From Nation to Nation.
CHANGED MAP OF THE WORLD.

New Orleans, May 4.-The day spent
in New Orleans will live long in the
memory of the president and the mem
bers of his party. In no other city in
the United States is the old and
romantic preserved and placed in such
sharp contrast with the modern as in
the Crescent City, and as the presiden-
tial party drove through the flower
cmbowered city from the new into the
old French and Spanish quarter, it
was passing mysteriously from Amer-
ca into foreign land, from this CEN
fury into another that has gone. The
entire population apparently was out
to see their chief magistrate.
A short visit was made to the South
ern University, where thousand col
ored students greeted the president
with waving bits of of colored bunting
so arranged as to make the whole an
American flag, and where the presi-
dent made brief speech.
There was striking picture when
the party drew up before the moulder-
ing Cabildo, over hundred and fifty
years old, which is situated opposite
what is now called jackson square,
bnt which, in the old days was the
Place d'Armes, where Spanish generals
formerly drilled their soldiers.
The French tri-color and several
other strange flags, among them the
red white and green banner of Portu-
gal, were interspersed with American
flags in the decorations. Up the stair
way past the Continental guards, the
president and his party mounted into
the crimson draped audience chamber
where the exercises took place. As in
dream the visitors were carried back
to that memorable day, almost cen
fury ago, when the keys of the city of
New Orleans were delivered up, in this
very room, to Wilkinson and Claiborne,
the American commissioners, and
French dominion over the great Lou
isiana territory passed to the sover-
eighty of the United States.
The president of the Louisiana His
torical Society recalled the great events
in his address to the president and the
president in his response dwelt upon
their momentous bearing upon the
worlds history. 1t was notable
speech and was received with enthusi-
asm by the distinguished gathering
present. The president said:
81 rise only for the purpose of max
ing acknowledgment to the Louisiana
Historical association for its cordial
and generous welcome to this historic
place. 1t has been a great honor to
me to be received here by the governor
of this great commonwealth, by the
chief justice and his associates
of it's highest court by the mayor of
the city, to this place, memorable not
only in American annals, but in the
annals of the world. | am glad to
stand near by where that great trans
action took place which transferred
the Louisiana territory to the flag of
the stars, transaction which changed
the map of the world, and made this
Union what it now is, the strongest
and the freest nation on the face of
the earth.

Usage LANDS At AUCTION.
Scattered in Small Tracts Over
Four Kansas Counties.
UPSET PRICE $L25 AN ACRE.

Topeka, May 6.-Several thousand
acres, probably somewhere between
100, 900 and 100000 acres of land in
Clark, Kiowa, Comanchee and Barber
counties will be put up and sold at
public auction at the Dodge City land
Office in short time. These lands are
known as the Usage Indian lands
They must bring Sl.95 cents an acre.
Register Pettijohn, of the Dodge City
land office says of these lands;
when the government opened
Southwestern Kansas to settlement,
the Usage Indians had big reserva-
ton in that section. This reservation
ran east of Wichita. The government
allotted certain portion of the land
to the Indians but held it in trust for
them for period of years. That peri
cd expired some years ago and the
lana was placed on sale. Much of 1T
has already been sold, especially that
in the eastern part of the reservation,
and the proceeds turned over This
land is not all in one tract. In fact,
there are no large Usage tracts left at
all. 1t is divided in forties, eighties
and quarter sections. There are
mighty few quarter sections. Most of
it is in forties and eighties. 1t is scat
tered all over the four counties men
toned. Some of it is as fine land as
ever lay out doors, but most of it is
and fl only for grazing purposes.
The upset price will be Sl.25 per
acre. Much of the land will sell for
four or five times that amount, but the
most of it will go cheap. An absolute
title will go with each sale, and it will
not be necessary to live on the land
afterwards to hold it. 1t will be an
outright sale. The cattlemen of the
Southwest will no doubt gobble up the
most of it.
The interior department has served
notice that the fences around govern
ment land must come down. A few of
the ranchmen are holding back, but
most of them will obey the order
without going into court. 1t is this
class that is now buying up land.
They want to get the public land all
taken by private parties. Then q they
can buy out the parties aud acquire
absolute title to the land. They are
now gobbling up all the private land
they can, and are buying up tax GER
tifcates on land bid in by the counties
and are taking tax deeds to the land.
They are determined to hold South
western Kansas as a grazing country"

A DOCTOR THIS TIME.

Portland. May 6th.-Dr. E. A. Rose,
a practising physician, formerly of
Yates Center, Kans., was on what
everyone supposed was his death
bed. He had Diabetes, and six Of
his brother doctors were in attend
ance and consultation at his bedside
They had done everything that medi-
cal skill could suggest to save his life,
but they were at last reluctantly forced
to tell him that he must prepare for
death.
His aunt had been summoned to his
dying bedside. After the doctors had
given her nephew up, she insisted that
as a last resort, he be given a treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
From the very first dose, the tide
turned in his favor. His life was
saved, and he is hale and hearty to-
day.
This case and its cure has amazed
the physicians, and is the sensation Of
che hour. 1t is interesting to note
that while many others are being
cured this great discovery in medi-
cine, the physicians themselves are
among the first to benefit, and that
while the simpler and more prevalent
forms, such as Rheumatism, Sciatica,
Bladder and Urinary Trouble and Fe-
male Weakness disappear before it,
the more malignant forms, such as
Brights Disease, Diabetes and Dropsy,
which ve-always been regarded as
incurable, are yielding just as easily.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are fast super
ceding all other treatment for Kidney
Disease, and as nearly all human sick
ness and suffering has it's origin in the
Kidneys, the use Of this wonderful
medicine is becoming almost universal.

Topeka, May 1.-The cattlemen of
Western Kansas are mistaken in the
belief that the leases which they hold
on public school lands prohibit the
state from selling the lands until the
leases expire" said State Auditor Cole.
THE fact is the state can sell the
lands any time and the sale wipes out
the lease. The cattlemen are given
leases on the public lands with a
enure of five years, providing the
state holds the lands that long. But
if it sells them the leases are can
celled."

Hero Is a Now One.

Minneapolis, Mimi, May 1.-The
500 line Pacific coast limited train was
delayed for one hour in North Dakota
through a peculiar circumstance The
loss of an hour between these two
stations, which are only thirty-six
miles apart, was caused by Russian
thistles that had been blown up in
huge piles along the track by the
heavy gales of the last few days The
thistles were piled in heaps large as
an ordinary hay cock, and the wire
fences which have been erected along
the track were completely buried from
view

Omcial Wheat Opinion.

Guthrie, Okla, May g. Territorial
grain inspector c. I. Prouty, from his
own observation and from reports of
his deputies, says that the conditions
of and for the wheat crop are the
finest since the territory has been
settled. The acreage is 20 per cent
greater; the growth is rank and thick;
and while there are plenty of insects
the fast growth of the grain beats
them. The green louise has almost
entirely disappeared, having fallen a
victim to another bug.
