FRAUDULENT LAND ENTRIES.

Nebraska Cattlemen.

Washington, Nov 5.-The interior de-
partment has suspended, with a view
of cancellation. a large number of
alleged fraudulent land entries in Ne
braska made by soldiers widows. who.
it is charged. have entered into an
agreement for the transfer of the lands
TO cattlemen.
w. n. Lesser of Iowa, a special gent

been suspended in connection with
these proceedings The suspension fol-

Nebraska by Colonel John S. Mosby.
the former guerrilla leader who is now
a special agent of the general land
Office. The exact extent of these oper-
atoms is not disclosed, but, so far as
known, there are about forty-five or
fifty or them, each entry being for 100
acres. The government recently has
been enforcing its regulation for the
removal of fences erected by cattle
men on public lands. Under the law
soldiers widows have a right to make
entries of public lands without any res
idence requirements, but they are re-
quired to make improvements and Gull
tivate the land. 1t is understood that
the women who made the entries are
mostly Chicago people, who were in

agents of cattlemen, with an agree

washington, Nov. 5.-In his annual
report TO the commissioner of the gen
eral land Office, the surveyor general
OF Idaho makes rather extended refer
ences to the rich gold finds in the
thunder mountain region, and TO the
necessity for further surveys in order
10 assist development. Among other
things, he says:
The Thunder mountain region, COW
erinS an approximate area Of 1900
square miles. is certain soon to be
known as the richest mineral district
in the United StaeeS This region con-
tains within its limits some of the high
est and most rugged mountains in the
state. Recent discoveries have fully
demonstrated the fact that many large
districts within this high mountain sec
ton are scanned with mineral lodes of
great extent and richness. Since the
discovery Of this region the immigra-
ton into the state has been altogether
unprecedented.
Already the surface Of large dis
triets has been literally covered with
mining locations. and still the work Of
making locations goes on. This region
is almost entirely unsurveyed, and
cannot too strongly urge the necessity
10 gridirOn this country with the lines
of the public survey by extending the
standard parallel and guide meridians
across it. By this means the region
would be divided into parallelagrams
approximately twenty-four by thirty
miles. and the knowledge thus obtained
would be of inestimable value TO the
home-seeker, the prospectOr and the
investor. The total cost would not ex-
coed $4,000. and the benefits accom-
plished, both directly and Indirectly,
would run into the thousands of dollars
for each dollar cNnnn6ad

Pluralities in Indiana.

indianapolis, Nov. 5.-Estimated
piuralities by counties received at state
headquarters today indicate the cleo

The congressional pluralities estimated
are:
Hemingway, Republican, 1850: Miers,
Democrat, $50; Zenor. Democrat, $500;

publican. $500; Robinson. Democrat,
500; Brick. Republican, 1900.
The Republicans in the legislature
will have a plurality OF sixty-four and
possibly sixty-five. The senate will
probably stand, thirty-fve Republicans
and fifteen Democrats, and the house,
seventy-two Republicans and twenty
eight Democrats. The Republicans
have elected sixteen senators and the
Democrats nine senators, who will hold
over for two years and form the nu-

Especial to The Herald.)
Evanston, Wyo., Nov. 5.-The consol-
idated vote of the three Evanston pre-
cincts give Richards, Republican, for
governor a majority of forty-nine
votes. The balance Of the state ticket
will be in about the same proportion
for both the state senate and house of
representatives. The county ticket for
Evanston is Democratic by thirty-nine
votes, with the exception of a Repub-
hcan justice of the peace. who was
elected by four votes. At this report,
u O'Clock. there has been received $500
votes. Taking the vote of two years ago
there still remains nearly 1000 votes to
come in from outside precincts, but
this. it is conceded, will not alter the
general results, as the majority from
this county will be larger than that Of
two years ago in favor of the Repub-
hcanS for the state ticket.
The county ticket is Republican, with
one exception-that of county clerk. In
this instance, and it is believed this is
the only one, the Democrats will win
out on the county ticket.
At Okley, DiamondVille and other
small mining camps, over which Thorn
as Sheldon rules, the vote is nearly
unanimous. At Glencoe the vote for
county clerk was 120 to two, showing
the rule of Thomas sheldon, who par
ticularly desired the removal of the
present incumbents, but from returns
received it appears the Democratic
nominee won by a fair majority, balk-
ing the desires of Sheldon

According to Professor Vierkandt a
German sociolOgist, the question whether
American-raee superiority can make it
self felt in the world at large depends on
the size of American families. He notes,
a Berlin dispatch says, "a tendency which
discourages large families because of the
standard of comfort required No OBJ
serving person viii deny that there is
such a tendency in this country The
Americans like children, but they hest
tate to become responsible for the well
fare and comfort of large families Four
children in a family are an unusual num-
Der; six make a big family nowadays,
and eight invite the imputation of reck-
less prodiga1ity. If Europe is safe from
an American invasion until American
families grow bigger, it can rest easy in
its mind. At present the tendency seems
to be the other way. They say that the
French are growing more peaceable, more
thrifty, and richer. They are not invad-
ers nowadays in commerce, and they are
less and less disposed TO aggressive war
They have no spare population So it
may be with us American families can
i'll spare their sons for foreign service,
either military or commercial. There are
too few Of them born.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
People of Rhode Island Coming to
Their Senses.

Providence, r. l., Nov. 5.-Substan-
tial gains for the Democrats are shown
by the complete returns for the state
ticket. They elected their candidates
for governor and lieutenant governor
and their congressional candidate in
the First district. Besides, they cut
down the Republican lead in the lower
house of the legislature by securing
thirty-six members as against a like
number for Republicans. The senate,
however, remains Overwhelmingly Re
publican, with a representation Of
twenty-seven in thirty-seven members.
The Republican majority in the general
assembly on joint ballot gives them
control of the appointive state and
county offices.
Mayor D. L. D. Granger, Democrat,
of Providence, was elected congress-
man in the First district over Melville
Bull, Republican, the present incum-
