Hoopeston, the home of Mrs. Mary
Hartwell Catherwood and the most
prosperous little city in the richest
agricultural district in the great state
of Illinois, has what may be truthful
ly termed one of the most econom.
ical and successful forms of munici-
pal government of any city in the
world. The city has a population Of
$500, and the mayor of the town re-
ceives an annual salary of but so cents
or 81 for each term in office the term
consisting of two years.

United States Senators Mitchell, of

of alleged fraudulent land entries in

now special agent of the general
The exact extent of these opera

known there are about 4j or so of
them, each entry being for 100 acres.
The government recently has been
enforcing its regulations for the re-
moval of fences erected by cattlemen
on public lands and an effort to vail
date as far as possible the land now
occupied by the cattlemen. Under the
law soldiers widows have right to
make entries of public lands without
any residence requirements but they
are required to make improvements
and cultivate the lands. 1t. is under

SUE FOR THOUSANDS OF ACRES
Half and Quarter-BIOOd Indians Seek
Title 40 Land Ia Reser-
walton.

Judge Shiras OF Iowa will be in Omaha
Thursday to try the case of a large num-
Der OF Omaha Indians OF the half and quar-
ter blood against the United States to Sc
cure possession and title to about 5000
acres Of land In the Omaha Indian reserva-
tion.
This case has been on the docket for sew
eral months and has been the cause Of more
investigation on the part OF the plaintiffs
than probably any case which has ever
been tried in the United States court in this
district. John l.. Webster has been re-
tained as special counse for the govern
ment In this case. The plaintiffs are repre-
scented by T. L. Sloan Of Fender and C. e.
Clapp Of Omaha. Mr.. Sloan being one OF
the plaintiffs. The question hangs prin-
cipally pom the blood Of the plaintiffs and
the alleged fact hat some OF their ances-
tors waived their tribal rights many years
ago and accepted land in severalty from the
government. Tom Sloan. one Of the princi-
pal plaintiffs. has been for two years try
ing to prove his descent from an Omaha
Indian and has succeeded In getting his
descent recognized, but not for the purpose
Of this suit.
Judge Shiras has given much attention
TO these Indian cases and because Of his
great familiarity with the subject he will
preside at the trial. II is expected that the
case will occupy three days.

The majority Of the biacksmiths who go
to make up the army Of Union Pacific strik-
ers have decided not to leave Omaha and
accept work elsewhere during the tendency
Of the present struggle, as suggested by
r. B. Kerr, secretary-treasurer Of their in
ternational organization.
"a few OF our men will act upon this sug-
gestion,' said a leading blacksmith, but
you will find that the great majority will
stay right here in Omaha until this fight
with Mr.. Burt is over. This ought to in
dictate to those who have questioned our
financial ability to endure a long siege OF
idleness that we are not as impotent as
they may think. We have no surplus OF pc
cuniary resources. but we are meeting our
obligations regularly. paying on our benefits
every week, as the other crafts in this
strike are doing, and While compelled to
practice the s~trictest economy, we are able
to survive the pressure"
It is the common impression among the
strikers that the company Will keep them
at bay for the whole winter at least. and
that a settlement will not come until spring.
An effort has been made to obtain as near
as possible an exact statement Of the strik-
crs' condition and that Of their respective
unions. and the result is that the most
conservative leaders are satisfied with the
mems power Of endurance and OF their de-
termination to hold out until the fight is

WILL NOMINATE MIDSHIPMAN
senator Willard VIII ChOOse Some
Boy for Annapolis Naval
Academy.

Under the terms Of an act OF congress
approved July /, 1902, every United States
senator may nominate a candidate for adj
mission to the United States Naval academy
as midshipman, formerly designated cadet.
Senator Willard has been notified by the
Bureau of Navigation that he may nominate
a candidate next April.
The Bureau Of Navigation issues a
pamphlet of regulations under which can
didates may be admitted, citing the quail
f~cations required. The candidate must
undergo two rigid examinations. The mental
examination is conducted by the civil serv-
ice commission, while the physical examina-
tion is conducted at the academy in
Annapolis. The pamphlet referred to sets
out specifically the strict requirements Of
the two examinations, so that applicants
and their sponsors may know in advance
whether they are equal to the severe test
In store for them.
Each applicant is asked 10 have a local
physician examine him and to certify that
the subject would be likely to pass the
prescribed examination at the academy.
Six pages OF the pamphlet are devoted to
an outline of the subjects OF the mental
examination: Reading, writing, spelling,
~aritchmetic, geography, English grammar
United States history, worlds history,
algebra, through quadratic equations, and
plane geometry. Deficiency in any one of
these may be sufficient to insure the re-
lection OF the candidate.
All candidates must at the time of their
examination and admission be between the
ages of 10 and 20 years and physically
sound, we'll formed and Of robust constitu-
ton. The outlay incident to admission,
after a successful examination, is about $3.50
About a dozen applicants have flied their
papers with Senator Willard, each Of whom
will be expected to satisfy the senator that
the applicants training and education has
been such as to make reasonably probable
the passing Of the examination. This show
ing will he made on paper and transmitted
to the senator, along with the local ply
sician's certificate, and upon the showing
so made the senator will choose a principal
and FIVE alternate candidates, graded as tC
relative standing according to the showing
made by each.

OBJECT TO HAVING SALOON
walnut Hill Residents Again Enter
Protest with License
Hoard.

In the form Of a petition filed yester-
day at the Office of the clerk Of the Fire
and Police board the residents Of the Wal
nut Hill district have renewed activity in
their long-continued and thus far success
full fight against the location Of a saloon
at the corner Of Fortieth and Hamilton
streets.
Annually for the last eight years there
has been an attempt on the part OF one Of
the brewing companies or some enterprising
individual to secure a license to establish
a saloon at or very near the point men
toned, which is regarded as a p~articu-
larry desirable location from the fact that
1t is centrally situated in a we'll settled
district in which there are no saloons.
This purpose has not been confined to any
one company or any one person and in the
course Of years nearly all Of the brewing
companies have been at one time or an
other involved in the controversy. Each
time that an application is filed for a liz
cense in that territory, however. there has
been a protest from the citizens in the
form Of a petition and thus far they have
been able to influence the Board OF Fire
and Police Commissioner to refuse the Ii
cense.
Heretofore the application has always
been for a new license, but this year there
has been a slight variation, the Krug Brew
ing company having, on September Is, asked
the board for a permit to remove a saloon
from 206O Poppleton avenue to 1904 Hamil-
ton street. There has been no change in
the mode OF procedure on the part OF the
citizens, and having found the petitions et-
~fective in the past they have simply pre-
scented another.
This petition sets forth at some length
the views Of the residents Of the district
affected as to the location of a saloon al
the point in contemplation, and states that
the signers Of the application for change
Of the location Of the saloon are not free
holders of the Ninth ward, as stated, but
live in other portions Of the city, as is sci
forth in the list purporting to show theil
true residences. The petitioners urge al
arguments in favor OF the refusal o.
the application that for eight years tn,
former boards have refused to issue a H.
cense for a saloon in that part Of the city
that the location under consideration il
within four blocks of the Walnut Hill schoo
and in a place where the children Of tn,
neighborhood spend a great deal Of thei
time in play. The petition is signed by 90
persons who, it is said, are all voters ant
all residents Of the neighborhood immedi
ately surrounding the place where II is pro
posed to locate the saloon. The petitioner
are represented by /. r. Andrews, al at
torney who is himself a resident OF tn
district affected.
