SOLDIERS WIDOW SUES
SECRETARY HITCHCOCK
Will Test His Construction of Home
stead Grant Law-February s
Date of Hearing.

Proceedings have been begun by Mrs.
Anna Bowes and the Standard Cattle
Company Of Nebraska. to test the con-
stitutionality Of the decision of the Sec
retarv II the Interior relative TO the
rights o. soldiers widows and children
under tie homestead grant law. The
Conn issioner Of the General Land Of
fee is also named as a defendant.
Cancelled by Secretary.
It is explained that Mrs. Bowes' home
stead entry. made at Broken Bow. Neb.,
about two years ago. was recently can
celled By Secretary Hitchcock. IN pass
ing upon the right OF the claimant. the
Secretary OF the Interior decided that
TO enable them TO receive the benefit OF
the homestead grant act. widows OF
Union soldiers must actually reside upon
the land allotted them, as must other
claimants under the act.
The decision on this point by the De-
partment Of the interior. is at variance
with the accepted construction Of the
homestead grant act. for about thirty
years. Under previous decisions a large
number Of entries have been made by
Union soldiers widows in the West. The
upholding By the courts OF the recent
decision that actual residence IS neces-
sary to acquire title under the grant act.
will be a practical nullihcation of the
claims of many Union soldiers widows.
Residence" Does Not Appear.
1t is called to the attention of the
court that in the act Of Congress on the
subject, the word residence does not
appear. The court is asked TO enjoin the
Secrerar5 Of the Interior from putting
into effect his order canceling the
homestead entry Of Mrs. Bowes.
Justice Anderson fixed February 5 as
the date for hearing argument on the
question. Attorneys Berry and Minor.
and T. w Reynolds, Of Washington.

EIGHT REASONS

why SCOTS Emulsion is an
ideal food-medicine:
I. 1t is partly pre-digest-
ed and therefore passes
quickly into the blood.
2. 1t imposes no tax
upon the stomach or other
digestive organs.
3. 1t does not cause
fermentation such as usually
results from ordinary food
when the stomach is weak.
q. Its action is mild and
even, insuring the greatest
nourishment with the least
effort.
5. It's quality is always
uniform.
6. 1t feeds and strength
ems the bones. blood, nerves
and tissues.
7. 1t is one of the great
est flesh producers known
to medical science.
8. 1t is paiatable and
agreeable to the taste and
easily taken.

KOREANS ARE MOURNING
THEIR EMPRESS DOWAGER

Koreans are mourning the recent death
Of the Empress Dowager. and the flag
over the Korean legation I'm this city at
15O0 Thirteenth Street. is flying at half
mast.
Very little is known in this country
about the Empress Dowager except that
she was seventy-six years old and her
family name was Hong. She was the
most prominent member OF the Emper-
oTs household and was allowed consid-
erable latitude in affairs Of state.
The flag will be kept at half mast for
thirty days since the time OF her death.

CHICAGO MAN HOPES
TO REVIVE THE DEAD
Windy City Physician Says He Once Caused Still Heart
to Beat for Some Minutes.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-Dr Hamilton
Forline has made n salt and strych-
nine solution Of which wonderful things
are related. He hopes to prolors and
restore human life.
The latest test of the efficacy of the
salt solution was made after the Iro-
quois Theater fire. One boy, whose heart
had ceased beating for several minutes.
was brought to life for a few seconds.
On others who were near the point
OF death, the solution acted as a mar
velous stimulant. DR.. Forline said:
This is an entirely new discovery.
The elements in the solution have been
tried separately, and have proved sue
cessful stfmulants, but this combina-
The Washington times., 1904-01-16

ton has never before been tried BY
anyone.
Five per cent OF the solution is a
common salt solution extract from the
glands of animals. and per cent IS OF
orchitic fluid and strychnine. There are
other elements. The quantity Of strych-
nine used depends on the seriousness of
the case.
THE application of this solution is also
a new feature Instead of injecting IL
into a vein, it is injected into the spinal
column. The cerebro spinal fluid is re-
moved with the needle. and in its place
is put the solution. This goes directly
to the vital center OF the brain which
controls the heart action and causes the
heart TO begin pulsating."

contestants fairly equalized. The puz-

best answer is. the contestant who wins
the first prize will be the first one to
discover it.
