MORE LAND OPEN
Eight Hundred Thousand Acres
in Nebraska to be Set
tied Up
JUNE % UNDER KINCAID BILL
Mostly Suitable Only for Grazing
Purposes, Though Part
is Tillable.

Lincoln, Neb., May 22.-Fine grazing
land-mOre than 100000 acres of it
is thrown open to public settlement
by the new Kincaid bill. Homesteads
of $40 acres may be obtained by the
settlers, and June 2s is the date of the
opening Of the lands for homestead
entry. This opening gives a chance
for the small rancher to succeed the
big land owner and present plans indi-
cate that the former will not be slow
to recognize his opportunity.
The recent discoveries of the for
eign grasses, which Will grow luXuri-
antly on even the poorest of this
western land, makes every foot of
the government offerings extremely
valuable. The land lies in the sixth
congressional district. and the area
covered is is about the size of Yer
mont, Connecticut and Massachusetts
combined. About 100000 acres of the
grant lies in Custer county, and Rock
county contains more than 100000
acres.
The Kincaid bill provides that there
shall be excluded from the provisions
of the act such lands within the terri
tory as in the option of the secretary
of the interior it may be reasonably
practicable to irrigate- under the ma
tiOnal irrigation law, or by private
enterprise; and that the secretary
shall, prior to June 2S, designate and
exclude from entry such, particularly
along the North Platte river; and
thereafter, from time to time, he shall
open to entry under this act any of
the lands so excluded. which, upon
further investigation, he may conclude
cannot be irrigated

pass on either side of the old relic.
At the pres mt time the liberty bell
is occupying the most prominent part
of Independence hall, where it stands
in n large glass case, continually UNI
der guard of at least two policemen.
When it is removed from the Cradle
of Liberty to begin its long journey
to the west Saturday afternoon, June
1, it will be escorted to the Pennsyl-
vania railroad station by one of the
Philadelphia regiments of the Nation
al Guard and troop of cavalry. the
troopers of the latter body surround
ing the truck on which the bell will be
carried. From the minute it leaves
independence hall until it is returned
in December next, the bell will be
guarded day and night by four of the
tallest of Philadelphia's reserve po-
licemen.
The coming trip of the liberty bell
will be the seventh time that it has
been out of Independence hall since it
was first installed there in June. 1853.
The first time it was removed to Al
tentown, Pa. in September. 1T77. to
prevent it falling into the hands of
the British. There it remained until
the British army evacuated PhiladeI-
phia. All of the other journeys of the
bell were for exhibition purposes. On
these occasions it was seen by mil
lions of people and was the object of
reverence as well as of many patriotic
demonstrations. Thousands and thous-
ands of school children have passed
before it. and countless numbers of
wreaths have been placed upon it bv
admiring Americans. Its journeys
from the Cradle of Liberty for ex-
hibition purposes have been as fol-
lows:
In 1885, to New Orleans: in 1898. to
Chicago; in 1895. TO Atlanta. Ga: in
1902. to Charleston. S. C.. and in 1908.
to Boston. On its last tour the bell
represented the city of PHILADELPHIA
at the anniversary of the battle of
Bunker Hill. Il celebration at which
the display of the famous relic of the
revolution for independence was most
fitting.

Fees Are Uniform.

Another provision is that the fees
and commissions on all entries under
this act shall be uniformly the same to
those charged under the present law
for a maximum entry at the minimum
price; that the communication provis-
ions Of the homestead law shall not
apply to entries under this act, and
at the time of making final proof the
entryman man must prove atfirma-
lively that he has placed upon the
lands entered permanently improve
ments of the value of not less than
$1.25 per acre for each acre included
in his entry.
Much of the homestead offering is
tillable. The northern boundary of
the county, the Niobrara river, gives
water for many thousand acres, and
besides the Elllhorn. the Willow, the
Rock. the Ash, the Calamus, the
Laughing Water, the Bloody and the
Long Pine rivers, there are 200 flow
ing wells and many lakes in this re-
gion.

Liberty bell. which viii be on exhi

noon till 1890 June Z. on its way to
the worlds fair, was brought west

otic appeal of $4,000 school children

apart as liberty bell day. From the

corted through the streets of st. Louis

of the city. where it will remain until
the close of the exposition.
The joint special committee of Phil
adelphia city councils completed the
arrangements for the tour of the bell
to St. Louis. When it was first an
nounced that the sacred old relic
would be taken to the exposition, the
mayor of the city and the councils

and the numerous requests made II
exceedingly difficult to arrange the

WISDOM AND LOVE.

Through many years he studied books,
He Travelled far in quest Of lore;
He delved in long-forgotten hooks
To find the keys to wisdom's door;
He won degrees that gave him pride,
And scholars yielded him their praise;
His learning was profound and wide,
His noble brow was decked with bays.
One day while hurrying in quest
OF further knowledge than he had
He met a maiden who possessed
A face and form that made him glad.
Forgetting what he'd gone to seek
He blundered into loves sweet snares,
And, half transported, heard her speak
OF foolish, everyday affairs.
Down at her feet he humbly knelt,
He that had studied and was wise;
His world was comprised by her belt,
His universe lay in her eyes.
And then there came boy who knew
But little more than a, b, c,
Straight to his arms the maiden flew
Why study to be WISE ah me!
