a Government Ruling on Entries for
Investments and Future
q Sales.
Reply to Frank Letter Written by
Californian as to His
Case.

Many who are awaiting patents
from the United States government on
timber lands, under the stone and
alarmed over what they considered an
timber act, have become greatly
adverse ruling against persons who en-
tered the>land simply for speculation
or investment. Out in California,
where there are a great many more
such persons than here, the excite
ment was very great as many reared
that the money which they had paid
in would be forfeited or that those
who had not proved up" would not
be permitted to do so. In order TO
find out just where he stood Charles
w. Strother, an attorney at Ireka,
Cal, wrote to the government regard
ing the matter, giving all the facts Ill
his case.
He stated plainly that he had no
intention of living on the land or in
dividually making any personal use OF
the timber thereon, but that the en-
try was made by him for his use and
benefit, in the sense that he intended
to hold the same until he could sell
to advantage at some time in the fu-
ture. He stated he desired to know
whether there was a prospect OF MS
patents being held up by the depart
ment and his money forfeited in case
he should proceed to prove up.
The reply was highly satisfactory to

Washington, D. c.. Oct 8. 19O3.-Charies
w. Strother, Lawyer. Yreka:
Dear Sir-Referring to your letter OF
Goth ultimo. relative to the suspension Of
your timber and stone entry, you are ad-
yised that if you make satisfactory
showing that your entry was made for
your own use and benefit and there Is
nothing more to impeach your good faith
than the mere fact that you made the
entry for investment with intent to sell
the land at some future indefinite time
and in this manner realize profit on the
money invested, this office holds that such
an entry is not made in violation Of law.
and should be passed to patent. Very
respectfully, j. H. Fimple,

DOCTOR KNEW
Had Tried 1t Himself.

The doctor who has tried Postum
Food Coffee knows that it is an easy,
certain, and pleasant way out of the
coffee habit, and all of the ails fol-
lowing, and he preseribes it for his
patients, as did a physician of Pros
pertown, N. j., one Of his patients
says: During the summer just past
I suffered terribly with heavy feel
ing at the pit of my stomach and dir
zy feeling in my head, and then a
blindness would come over my eyes so
7 would have to sit down. I would get
SO nervous could hardly control my
feelings
FINALLY spoke to our family ply
sician about it and he asked if drank
much coffee, and mother told him that
I did. He told me to immediately
stop drinking coffee and drink Pos
tum Food Coffee in it's place, as he
and his family had used Postum and
found it a powerful rebuilder and de-
licious food drink.
81 hesitated for a time, disliking the
idea Of having to give up my coffee,
but finally got a package and found
1t to be all the doctor said. Since
drinking the Postum in place of cof-
fee my dizziness, blindness and nerv-
BUSINESS are all gone, my bowels are
regular and I am again well and
strong. That is a short statement Of
what Postum has done for me-" Name

FORT RILEY ATTACKED
The War Game Maneuvers To-day
Involved an Assault Upon the
Kansas Fort. ~. .:..~.

= > IS o. .
Fort Riley, Kan, Oct. 26.-Colonel
has proved several times during the
present series Of maneuvers what
dashing work he can do at the head
of his troopers, were given a chance to-
day to show what work he can do
when compelled to hang on and fight
for his life. He was given command
of a small force defending Fort Riley
against superior numbers under Gen
eral Carr and ordered to hold his
place at all hazards. '&~r.
Colonel Steever's position was by
the terms of the military problem
made vital to the blue forces in or
der that q junction might be made
between it and hypothetical main
body.
General Carr's force was designed
to prevent the junction Of the two
'blue" armies and to prevent this his
object was to- carry the position at
Fort Riley by assault. Colonel Stew
ers command consisted Of the bat
talon Of engineers, Sixth infantry, a
battalion Of the Twelfth infantry, a
squadron Of the Fourth cavalry and
Cars command comprised the Mis-
souri,, Nebraska and Texas regiments,
First and Second Kansas, Second,
Twenty-f1rst and Twenty-ffth regular
infantry, Fifty-ffth Iowa, Eighth
cavalry, one squadron Of the Forty
sixth cavalry and four batteries. The
problem, which was carefully ar
ranged by Colonel Wagner, the. chief
umpire, resulted in spirited contest
on the hills back Of Fort Riley and
was highly successful.

NO FUEL SHORTAGE
Conditions at Beginning Of Cold
Weather Better Thap for
Two Years.
Coal Of All Kinds Is Plenty and
Prices Are About
Normal.

The fuel situation in Minneapolis is
| excellent. Save for a very hard Win
ter, enough of a supply is. on hand
or accessible, to keep every one COM
Portable and the industrial plants all
going. There is not the slightest dam
ger of a fuel famine. i
! Whether there is neough coal on
hand at present for the winter depends
a good deal on the public. Maple
wood is so high in price that 1t is
bound to switch a good deal of con-
sumption to soft coal for domestic
use. This may make a greater de-
mand for soft coal than is expected.
Except for such occasional vagaries
! of the demand, it is easy to figure on
what the consumption will be in an
average winter.
The present condition of fuel supply
results in a large part from the scar
| city of last year. While ON the aver
age the fuel business from April to
August is light, this year an immense
amount of domestic coal, such as an
thracite, has been laid in by consumers
in order that they might not be caught
short under any circumstances. The
sliding scale of hard coal prices, in
creasing 10 cents each month, had
something to do with the early de-
mand also. f.
Hard coal is now sS.75 a ton,
smokeless $6.75, and soft coal $3.50
to $6.75. Maple four-foot wood is IS
cord good pine slabs $3.50 and edg-
ings $780, all uncut. A tour of the
yards show big piles of coal and wood.
The list of small retail yards thru
the city is about as long as that of
last year. Several new ones have been
started, but they simply fill the places
left by those dealers who have given
up their yards. Agents for Chicago
firms are in the market this year, as
usual selling to both the wholesaler
and the retailer.

FATHERS FlENDISH DEED
Murders His Two Little Sons Be-
cause His Wife Had Left
..-..-.. Him.

Marion, Ind, Oct. 26.-Jesse Nc
Clure, farm hand, yesterday muir
dered his two sons, aged and Z years,
and left their bodies in fence corner.
While a mob was forming to cap
ture and lynch him, Mcclure drove
on run to this city and gave himself
up. He has been taken to Indian
apolis to prevent a lynching.
Mcclure lived near Frankton. A
year ago his wife refused to live with
him, and she returned with her chill
dren to her fathers home. At noon
yesterday Mcclure hired a rig at Ell
wood and drove to the Kilgore farm.
He found the children playing in the
front yard and induced them with
candy to take ride with him. He
drove a mile up the road, carried the
children to a fence corner and shot
them with a revolver.
To the Jail turnkey Mcclure adj
mitted the murder Of his two children,
and said he had killed them because
his wife had left him and refused to
see him. Said he:
cided to be revenged and drove down
the road to a little clump of small
trees. My two children were asleep
in the buggy. When I stopped the
jolt awoke my little boy, Dee. He
looked up to me and aid:tPapa, what
are you going to do?'
II put my hand over his eyes and
took my gun from my pocket and shot
him in the forehead, killing him in
stantly. The shot awoke little Homer,
and took him by the shoulder and
fired shot into his head. They both
fell to the bottom of the buggy. I
drove the horse to the side of the road
and lifted both bodies out and laid
them out on the withered grass. I
then drove directly to Marion to the
Jail and am here to give myself up

TOOK UP WITH STRANGERS
John Anderson Beaten and Robbed
Chance AcquaIntances.

John Anderson Beaten and Robbed by
Chance Acquaintance.
John Anderson, harvest hand from
North Dakota, whose home is at Toma-
hawk, Wis, was knocked down and
robbed last night by three men in the
milwaukee freight yards near Sixth ave-
nue. s. He lost S90-all the money he
had-and also received a badly disfigured
face by the blow which knocked him out.
Anderson arrived in Minneapolis Satur-
day night, and yesterday afternoon met
three strangers who agreed to pilot him
about the city and show him the sights
The quartet started out and after visit
ing several saloons started toward the
'red light district
AS they were, walking thru the freight
yards one Of the men, who was walking
ahead Of Anderson turned and struck him
q heavy blow over the eye with his fist.
The blow, coming unexpectedly as it did,
brought the man to the ground and before
he could regain his feet the three vera
upon him. One of the men held his hand
over Anderson's face to prevent any out
cry, while the other two went thru his
pockets and took" his money.
