Chicago, H., May 2S.-Ex-Gov.
Altgeld sees great danger to Amer
lea from the Supreme Court deci-
sion on the insular cases. He ev-
en- prophesies the destruction of
the republic. He said:
"The syndicates of America have
controlled the Supreme Court II
great many years. They have
forced it to do their bidding. When
the income tax cases were before it
a couple of years ago the syndi-
Gates opposed the income tax, and
altho the court had sustained them
"A hundred years, the syndicates
forced the court to shift its posi-
ton and to do their bidding. Now
the syndicates want to exploit the
islands by means of tariff, etc,
and don't want to be bothered
with any constitution. SO they
forced the Supreme Court to hold
that the constitution does not fol-
low the flag. | agree with Justice
Harlan in his dissenting opinion
that the decision of the majority
of the members of the court means
death of constitutional liberty and
means destruction to the Amer.
lean Republic"

MissOurl's Big Ear of Corn.

This story from the Buffalo Ex-
press:
wal, say, would sc mind tell
in me how ter grow corn like tibet!
I've seen some purity big ears er
corn in my life, but tibet there ear
beats 'em all
The speaker was an old, gaunt
individual, with stoop shoulders, a
long, gray beard hid the lower
portion of his tanned and wrinkled
face. 1t was quite evident that he
was more at home behind a pillow
or on reaper than behind a desk
The ear to which he referred
forms the pinnacle of small
mountain of corn in Missouri $
booth in the agricultural building
at the Pam American Exposition
The ear is - inches long and ~
inches in diameter. 1t has thirty
four rows of kernels. The corn is
of yellow color.
THAT ear came from Nodaway
county, Mo-, +" said one of the at
PENDANTS to the old man. ri don t
know how it happened to be so
big"
Look here, young man, do you
mean to tell folks that any ear of
corn like that ever grew" said Il
busting old woman, who had been
carefully examining various sam
pies of oats.
why, | heard one man say it
was one of thirteen ears ON a sin
gle stalk of corn, and that the
others were pruned off, so that all
the vitality of the plant might go
into this single ear" said the at
tendant, glibly.
"IIumph," said the woman, ri
come from Toronto, but I've been
in Missouri, and | never saw corn
as big as that. | know that they
have big corn there, but this seems
too big to be natural"
just then Secretary Robert NJ .
Iost, of the Missouri commission,
emerged from the coy little Office
in one corner of the booth. The
woman seemed to recognize i'll him
a person of authority, and, turn
ing to him, said, "Will you say
that that ear of corn grew"
"Why, the corn grew" said Mr..
Iost, with a smile.
"Of course" said the woman,
with Il knowing smile. But did
the ear itself grow"
NO, it didn't" admitted Mr.,

farmer who had first spoken.
"Wal, ye fooled me all right, 1t

"You aren't the first one," said
Secretary Iost. more questions
are asked about that big ear of
corn than any other thing we have
on exhibition. 1t was sent to us
from Nodaway county. The cob

Opening the Indian Reser.
walton.

Opening the Indian Reser-
walton.
The method of disposing of the
land in the kiOwa and Wichita
Indian reservations in Oklahoma,
soon to be opened to homestead
entry, is now receiving most care
full attention from the officials of
the interior department. Desirable
land subject to disposition under
the homestead law can 10 longer
be found in large quantities except
when an Indian reservation is
opened, and then they are eagerly
sought. SO many inquiries are
made about the kiowa and Wich-
ita lands that it is manifest there
will be several times as many
applicants as there are tracts.
The Wichita reservation will be
embraced i'll separate land dis
trict, with Il land Office at Ell Reno.
Deducting the land allotted to
Indians and reserved for school
purposes, there will be ,, I'D tracts
of 100 acres each to be disposed of
to homestead claimants. The
greater portion of this is fine land,
but some of it is not of sufficient
value to justify complying with
the homestead law to obtain title
to it.
The Kiowa reservation will be in
another land district, with Il land
office at Fort Sill. Deducting the
lands allotted to Indians and reserv-
ed for school and other purposes,
there will be 10, 81 tracts of 100
acres each to be disposed of to
homesteaders. These are generally
good lands, but this reservation
contains II greater percentage of
poor lands than the Wichita.
The higcst number of homestead
claims which could be taken in the
two reservations, even if all of the
lands were desirable, is -, 413.
The indications are that there will
be easily 10000 applicants. Some
of these are doomed to diSappoint-
ment. There are not enough lands
for all. The two reservations may
be opened at the same time, but
the opening of such will be as
separately conducted as if they
We're Il thousand miles apart. The
law does not require them to be
opened at the same time, but to
do so and divide the crowd of APP
plicants will simplify the task of
the land officers. The opening of
the kiowa reservation must not be
later than August 6 of this year,
and it will take until near that
time to complete the allOtmcnts to
the Indians.
None of these lands can be
obtained as free homes. They must
be paid for by claimants at thelate
of $l.2j per acre at the time of
submitting final proof. The law
also requires five years actual
residence, cultivation and improve
ments, except that honorably dis
charged soldiers are given credit
for the time of their service in the
army.
The two reservations will be
opened by the proclamatlons of
the president and Il recent act of
congress declares that "to avoid
the contests and conflicting claims
which have heretofore resulted
from opening public lands" the
shall prescribe the
manner in which these lands may
be settled upon, occupied and
entered, and that no person shall
settle upon, occupy or enter any of
them except as prescribed in the
until after the eNpira-
ton of sixty days from the opening
The purpose of this new statutory
provision is clear.

 Section Nine.
 Section nine was read as follows:
 Section 9-Any county having popula- ton exceeding twenty-thousand according to the next preceding Federal census, and also taxable property exceeding three million five hundred thousand dollars In value, according to the next preceding as- sessment of property for State and county taxation, need not be included In any circuit or chancery division; but if the value of its taxable property shall be re- duced below that limit or If It's popula- tion shall be reduced below that number the Geenral Assembly shall include such county in circuit and a chancery division or either, embracing more than one coun- ty.
 No circuit or chancery division shall contain less than three counties, unless there be embraced therein a county hav- ing a population exceeding twenty-thou- sand dollars. The general assembly may confer upon the circuit court or the chan cery court the Jurisdiction of both of said courts. In counties having two or more courts of record, the general as sembly may provide for the consolidation of all or any of such courts, except the Probate Court, with or without separate divisions, and an appropriate number of judges for the transaction of the busi- ness of such c court. consolidated.
 Discussing the Section.
 MT. Kirk offered a substitute requir- ing a population of 5000, and taxable values of $7,00O,0O0
 Judge Walker of Madison spoke against the substitute, as did MT. Sanders Of Limestone. The latter said speedy trials helped litigants and lawyers. Te thought this section authorizing more courts would be very popular. He moved to table the substitute, which was done.
 Mir Williams of Barbour moved to strike out that part of the section begin ming with the words, ''The general assem- bly," etc., and which authorized law and equity to be merged in one court He urged that courts with both jurisdictions would not give satisfaction.
 MT. Hood of Etowah said such courts were already in existence in Jefferson and other counties and that they gave satisfaction. He moved to table MT Williams amendment, which was done
 Governor Oates moved to amend by striking out the provision that a chancery division must contain at least three counties He said the present judicial system of holding court but twice a year in some counties was obsolete and be- hind the age. We ought to clear the dock cts and get rid of legal delay.
 After some discussion and questions he withdrew his amendment.
 The section as reported was then adopt ed and the convention adjourned until Monday at II o'clock.
