WORSE.
Perhaps you have never. thought
OF it, but the fact must be apparent
10 every one that constipation is
caused by a lack Of water in the sys.
tenn, and the use of drastic cathar-
tics like the old fashioned pills only
makes a bad matter worse. Cham
berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets
are much more mild and gentle IN
their effect, and when the proper
dose is taken their action is SO natu-
raj that one can hardly realize it is
the effect of a medicine. Try a 20

DEAD SOLDIERS HONORED
Mitchell People Assembled in Annual
Observance of the Decoration
ebay Ceremonies.

There was a large crowd Of people
IN the city Saturday for observance
Of the day set apart to honor do to
the memory of the fallen hero, who
gave his services and life to his coun-
try in it's hour Of peril. The
weather was all that could be de-
sired, and although the early morn
ing hours gave some indications OF
rain the sur came out and relieved
the possibility OF descending mos
ture.
The business men of the city deco
rated their store fronts to some ex-
tent in honor Of the occasion, and
the streets were thronged with peo-
pie to watch the parade.
The procession, under the COM
mand of J. B.. .Wolgemuth, officer OF
the day, and his assistant, DR.. S. J.
Moore, formed on Main, street, cor
ner of Second, and 1t was headed by
the Mitchell State Band. Following
came Co. D Of the national guard,
members Of the Grand Army, the
Wonans' Relief Corps, the fire de-
partment, members Of city council IN
carriages, and the children of the
city schools. There were a large
number Of the children out and many
OF them were provided with flags,
making an imposing appearance.
The procession marched to Seventh
street, where 1T disbanded and car
riages e provided for the old SOL
diers to be driven to Graceland Gem
etery. There were a great many
people who went out to the ceme-
terry to witness the ceremony Of dec
Grating the graves.
At the point where the broken
monument stands for the unknown
soldier dead the ritualistic services
of the Grand Army OF the Republic
were given, which included the read
ing Of the list Of the soldiers who
were buried in the cemetery. At
tie conclusion of the ceremony the
graves were decorated by the COM
mittees appointed for that purpose.
The flowers were not many this
year owing to the backward season,
and it was something Of a difficult
matter to secure enough to go
around, but every grave vas re-
membered. With this part of the
ceremony v e all the citizens re-
turned to town for the rest Of the
services in the afternoon.

at the corn palace IN the afternoon

room the seats were reserved for the
old soldiers, the Woman's Relief
Corps, and Spanish-American war
veterans. The interior Of the room
was decorated in patriotic colors
and in combination with the corn
decorations the scene was a beauti-
full one indeed.
The program Of the afternoon was
in charge Of Commander Nash, and
in calling the assemblage to order
announced that the first was the
reading Of the ritualistic service,
which was given by Comrade B. S.
Barnard. A double quartet consist

CLAIMED AS SCHOOL LANDS.
More Than Two Hundred Settlers
Claim Territory Has No Right
to Assume Control of
These Lands.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.


Guthrie. Ok, Sept. e5.-An interesting
1 appeal has been carried to Z. A. Hitch
cock. Secretary Of the Interior Depart
ment at Washington. D. c.. in which is
involved the right of possession of 100000
acres OF Land in the Kickapoo Reservation,
in Oklahoma, and the testing of the right
OF the Territorial School and Leasing
Board to acquire land in Oklahoma from
from which the school fund of the Terri
tory is derived.
The appeal is in behalf of J. ]. Ward,
as plaintiff. who. with several hundred
homeseekers, settled upon land in the
Kickapoo Reservation. On July 2. 1894, the
board for leasing school lands in the Ter
ritory employed d. a Harvey to act as
agent OF the board in the selection of 100
900 acres of the surplus lands in the Kick
apoo Reservation as indemnity school
lands for the Territory. Before Il o'clock
noon on May %, 1885, Agent Harvey Sc
lected the lands for the board. At Il
o'clock noon that day. the time fixed for
the opening of the lands to settlement.
the main portion of the lands selected by
Agent Harvey were settled upon and
claimed by the homesteaders, under the
homestead law, passed through the efforts
. OF ex-Delegate Dennis Flynn. The set
tiers complied with the homestead law as
regards Settlement, ana eStaDlSned tnelr
residences, afterwards making application
10 the United States Land Office 10 enter
the lands under the law.
These applications were rejected by the
Office as being in conflict with the selec-
tions of the Territory as indemnify school
lands. On appeal. Secretary Hitchcock
also rejected the applications of the home
stead claimants.
MADE IMPROVEMENTS ON LAND.
The petitioner. J. J. Ward. was one of
those homestead claimants and shortly
after noon May q. 1895. made settlement
upon the tract of land involved in the ap-
peal Within reasonable time he estab-
lished a residence on the land and made
permanent improvements and continued
TO reside on the land until he had COM
piled with the homestead law. having
made nearly 1900 worth OF improvements
upon the land. Within the time prescribed
the tract of land at the Oklahoma City
-(Ok) Land Office. This application was
finally rejected by the Secretary of In
terror.
]. j. Ward and the 80 other homestead
ers have persistently appealed and pro-
Department in approving OF the selection
OF these lands, and have resisted the
ton of the Territory in assuming control
of these lands and in the collection of the
rentals.
In the petition Attorneys Dick T. Nor
gan and Harry L. Fogg assert that these
lands were opened to settlement under the
homestead and townsite laws by the proc
lamation of the President, and that to-day
the lands are subject to settlement and
land In 1895 are. entitled to the lands and
