Spurns Degree OF D. D.

By Spurning an honorary degree
of doctor of divinity that had been
conferred upon him, the Rev. John
Thompson has startled the people Of
Rockford. where he is pastor Of the
Centennial Methodist church. His
action has also made a stir throughout
the country because of his prominence
in Methodism and the unusual stand
he has taken in reference to empty
titles. The church of which he is
pastor is considered one of the strong
est ones of the west. In explaining
his action he said: Il do not value a
degree. When l find it necessary TO
wear title to keep in a position of
credit and dignity among my brethren
of the ministry l will seek some other
field of usefulness. The Rev. Mr..
Thompson is an Englishman. He
graduated from the Garrett Biblical
institute at Evanston two years ago.
He is about 30 years of age, and was
appointed to his present position
about year ago.

ment OF creation down to the present
time, principle has been the founda-
tion of all that is good in this world
1t is true that truth has not always
prevailed when first presented, men
have died apparently failures because
the world refused to accept the truth;
but the truth lived, the principles
they had presented found place in
the hearts of men and finally tri-
umphed. Principle, exact justice,
true manhood, an adherence to right
and righteousness have saved the
world.
AT the conclusion of the OrationS

of the school board, presented the

j, Russell Tanner was awarded the

Land For HOmesteaders.

The new extension now being built
by the Northwestern line to Bone
steer, S. D., brings to mind the treaty
recently made with the chiefs of the
warlike Sioux by which part of the
famous Rosebud reservation is to be
turned over 10 the government and
one more of the few choice tracts of
now remaining will be thus opened to
settlement.
The land in question lies between
the Missouri and Niobrara rivers. and
is we'll watered and fertile. Farm
lands near tue reservation are selling
at from $40 to $50 an acre, grazing
lands at from Sc to SIS. The country
is level or slightly rolling, consisting
Of black loan with clay SubSoil. max
ing the very best of farming land. 1t
seems to suffer exceptionally little
from drought.
A great boom has sprung up in
Bonesteel, to which the Northwestern
line is building. Last fall there were
fifty settlers there. Today there is
town of three hundred. Ninety days
from now there will be three thous-
and. Five real estate offices have
opened and town lots are selling at
from $500 to $500 each.
The reservation will probably be
opened by lottery plan, such as was
made use of in Oklahoma. Fifty
thousand people are expected to take
part in the drawing for the land. To
enter homestead of 100 acres one
must be the head of a family or have
attained the age of twenty-One years,
citizen of the United States or one
who has filed his declaration to be-
come such. 10 establish title to the
land residence must be maintained
thereon, improving aud cultivating
the land continuously for five years.
With the completion of the North
western line from Verdigre to the re-
servation boundary at BOnesteel there
will without doubt be a tremendous
influx of homeSteaderS as soon as the
Presidents proclamation sets a date
for the opening. Interest in the mat
ter in Nebraska is intense.

A Curious Freak of Nature.

: The WakaruSa Tribune says Mrs,
Anthony Lechlitner has curiosity in
the way of willow stand. She pur.
chased the stand last fall from some
gypsies. 1t is highly painted and
bronzed. Mrs. Lechlitner had the
stand in her sitting-room all winter.
This spring she decided to set 1T in
the yard to put plants in, when, what
was her surprise to find that it was
alive. Sprouts were shooting out in
all directions, on which were leaves as
large as squirrels ears. The stand
stood on the carpet all winter and had
no moisture. This curiosity can be
seen at the lady's home. 3

CANAL ROUTES COMPARED.

Senator Cullom in giving his rea-
sons in favor of the Panama route
said: We are called upon to select
between a route 1873 miles long and
one forty-nine miles long, between
route costing $3.50, 900, 900 and one
costing slS4, 900, 900; between route
which will annually cost SO, 100000 to
operate and maintain and one that
will cost but $4,000, 900 to opefate and
maintain: between route that will
take but twelve hours to navigate and
ooe that will take thirty-three hours:
between route that has been a high
way of commerce for 400 years and
one that has never been used; between
a route the entire length of which
there is in operation railroad worth
several million dollars and route
with no transportation facilities. For
all these reasons the Panama route
should be selected. / believe the Pan
anna Canal Company can convey a
good title to its property to the Uni
ted States, but if on examination by
the law officers OF the government 1t
is found that the title Of the Panama
Company is defective then the
ma Company is defective then the
Panama route will be rejected and the
canal will be constructed by the Nicar-
aqua route.

CIairvoyant Accused of Fraud.

Ten patrons of Professor Root, a

day after a two weeks season there,
have admitted that he took s206 be-
longing to them, which they had in
trusted to him SO that the incanta-
tiOnS which be should utter over it
would result in revelations of informa.
tion desired by them. The heaviest
loser is white haired old man, who is

ceived description of man wanted
in Boston for similarly taking $1,000
from a woman there on May %, and
the description tallies, even to a

The amendment to the pension law
of 1901, introduced by Representative
Miers, of Indiana, and passed Monday
is very generally approved in congress,
but the senate will hardly reach ii
th'' session. Miers explains the
amendment at follows: "The purpose
of this act is amend the act of 1901,
so that a widow who was the wife OF
a soldier during his service, notwith-
standing the minor children may have
drawn a pension for time, may, il
she is now in straitened circumstances,
be placed on the pension rolls the same
as the other widows. The purpose OF
this law is not to grant any new right.
1t only allows all widows who were
war wives, if again widows, to be
relieved Notwithstanding their remar-
rage.
