HoMEsTEADERs WIN OUT.
Claims on the Cherokee strip Upheia
by Secretary Hitchcock.


Washington, Jan. 1-Secretary Hitch
cock has handed down an important
decision with regard 10 the legality of
the homestead entries of those who en-
tered he Cherokee strip from the Chill
occa school reserva ton when the
Cherokee strip was thrown open TO ser
Element in September. 1893. The dscis
ion is an important ore, as there are
now pending several hundred similar
cases in the land Offices of the TERRITORY.
Inc question was brought TO the atten-
tion of Secretary Hitchcock ON appeal
from the decision of the general land
Office in the contested land case of
Charles Q. clearinghouse vs. Charles e.
Beach. and seven other cases In which
the same legal propositions were pre-
ssented The secretary holds that the
entries from the Chilocca school reser-
walton were legal and proper ami that
the people who acquired fromesteads in
the strip have valid tide thereto.
The history of this litigation is one of
unusual interest. 1T grows out of the
opening of the Cherokee outlet on Sep
TENDER 16, 1893. AT the time the set
tlers We're by proclamation ordered to
enter the outlet from the north and
soutll sldNS and many thousands We're
congregated along the line between the
state of Kansas and the outlet proper.
The Chilocca Indian school reserva :
ton extends from the line of Kansas
three miles south into the outlet just
south of Arkansas City, and is crossed
by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad at that point. 1t was demon
strated to the satisfaction of the au-
thoritiss that even with military force
at their command 1t would be impossi-
bic to prevent settlers from running d.
rectly across the school reservation and
causing the destruction of the govern
ment property Accordingly 1t was arr
ranged whereby Immediately after
noon on the day Of the opening the set
tiers We're permitted to go to the south
line of the ChiIocca school reservation.

Washington, Jan 1.-The oleomarga-

sition in the senate and it is in serious

the belief that it could be promptly

The Wrong Bottle.

Grace is afflicted with a sensitive skin,
and when cold weather arrives uses up
more bottles of soothing lotion for her
poor, chapped hands than would stock
a small shop. The last thing before she
goes to sleep she coddles her white digits
with a liberal dose Of the liquid hat
best suits them. She did this the other
night, and as she rubbed it in" observ-
served that it took a long time to dry.
Finally she gave it up. She had a most
uncomfortable night. Whenever she
moved, the sheets stuck to her hands,
and she fought them off much after the
fashion of a cat standing on four pieces
of sticky fly paper. Once her hair got
tangled around her left hand, and it
nearly came out by the roots before che
loosened it. This thoroughly awoke
her, and she got up and lit the gas.
She had the most remarkable looking
pair of hands in Cook county. This

The Great Lakes Copper Claim.

Report comes from the Grand En-
campment District of a very rich find
in the Great Lakes, one of the cop
per properties owned by the mining
company of that name. 1t is in the
shape of a nugget of copper ore
which will run very high. 1t is on
exhibition at the town of Encamp-
ment.
The property from which this huge
chunk of ore vas taken is one of the
most, if not the most, promising cop
per properties in that district and the
claim is being developed as rapidly
as possible. From what we have
of this property we think it a
very valuable claim and have no
doubt but it will be a shipper in the
nea future.

Chinese Colo Fish.
JOHN BERGMAN.

E. P. Andrews has a small aquari-
UNI in his saloon window, containing
two Chinese gold fish, that is proving
quite an attraction. The fish were
brought here a few weeks ago from
Spokane, Washington, by his son
Elmer, who had been west ON a visit.
In the same case with the gold fish
are two or three small minnows taken
from the Platte river here and the
contrast is quite marked, the gold
fish showing up much more hadnsome
than their dusky companions. The
fish are easily kept and when sup
piled with river or cistern water need
no food, finding their sustenance in
the water.

Are You Careless About Your MALI

If YOU want to see just how careless
you are with the mail matter you
send out read the article in another
column, headed: "The Dead Letter
Office" Every man who sends a let
ter out should have his address mark
ed on the left hand upper corner of
the envelope. Packages should be
marked the same way. 1t may not
find its owner at the other end of the
route and, in that case, it will come
back to you; otherwise it will have to
go to the Dead Letter Office, be open
ell and examined before it Fan be re-
turned to you-even if you have been
thoughtful enough to put your adj
dress at the top or bottom of the let
ter, and not signed it: "Your loving
Susan or yours truly, John" Each
person, who does any amount of cor
respondence, should have printed let

NIggardly in its Conduct.
I. c. Miller, the president of the
Ferris Haggarty Mining company,
who was in the city Tuesday, reports
that the work of developing both the
100 foot and the 23O foot levels is pro-
crossing favorably.
eve are not sinking now, simply
drifting on both levels and getting
ready to stope out shipping ore. We
find that the rich bodies of ore, which
have made the mine famous, are not
lacking in any part of the mine we
direct our researches.
ave have not yet gotten our cleo
trio light plant going, owing to our in
ability to get wire to wire the mine.
We shall soon overcome that difficult
ty, however, and then we shall be able
to make better progress with our
work.
ave are still very much handi-
capped for want of a mail service.
1t seems odd that 300 or 400 people
should have to go without any kind
of mail service when the Department
is spending thousands of dollars or
a rural mail service for the benefit of
people who a get their mail by go
ing to the post office for it. We have
to depend upon any chance conner or
goer to get our mail. Sometimes we
get two mails a week, but oftener we

"The mail service of the west needs
looking into. The government don't
pay enough for carrying the mails in
this mountain region. Look at the
route from Rawlins to Lander. The
pay of contractor Hopkins was SIS
per day. Since he has thrown it up
the Department has put on a special
service at $50 per day, and the parties
asked $50 per day. All the routes in
the Rocky Mountain region are under
paid in my estimation. Because con
tractors wanted $4,000 per year for
carrying the mail from Saratoga to
Copperton via Rudefeha, the Depart
ment refused to let the bid.
From Rudefeha to Copperton the
mail will have to be carried on snow
shoes for eight months in the year"
