WALCOTT TITLES
Can No More Be Certified To By
Officials.

The following is the full text OF
law passed by the recent session Of
the Legislature for the purpose OF
putting a stop to the practice OF
officials who have been certifying
to worthless titles, especially
those known as the Alexander
Walcott titles. The bill WAS In
troduced by Representative Fred
A. Vaughan, OF Johnson county.
1t will do much for Big Sandy
development:
An act TO prohibit fraudulent
certillcation OF land titles In this
Commonwealth.
That II shall be unlawful for any
county court clerk or other officer
OF tho State, or OF any county
thereof, TO officially certify to any
abstract or statement Of title to
lands In this Commonwealth,
where such lands are In the actual
possession OF another than the
person or corporation shown to be
the owner by saId abstract or Ger.
titicato, when such person In poss-
esslon Is claiming said lands
under title adverse to that shown
In such abstracts or certificate.
II two or more patents have
been Issued for the same land,
whether by this Commonwealth,
or by the Commonwealth OF Vlr-
ginia, II shall be unlawful for any
county court clerk or other officer
OF this State, or Of any county
thereof, to officially certify that the
records show, or the fact TO be,
that said title is In either or any
OF said patentees, or In any person
claiming under either or any Of
said patents.
For each sfieuse the clerk Of
officer so certifying to such alb
stracts shall, upon conviction, tC
be recovered by indictment o.
penalty action, bo fined not les
than 800 and not more than $500
In addition thereto such officer
shall be liable personally and OF
his official bond to the person II
possession OF such lands, and I,
any and all other persons aggriev
ed thereby, to an action for dam
ages sustained by such person o
persons by reason OF such certl
ticate.
Whereas, Before the erection 0
this Commonwealth, the Common
. wealth OF Virginia Issued man!
large grants OF patents upon land
which are now In this State, an
since the erection OF this Common
/, wealth there have been issue
E many grants conflicting with thot

Miss Blanche Myers, 3l2O Penn street,
Kansas City, Mo-, has the following to
say Of Peruna:
during each of the past four seasons
! have caught a severe cold, ZEN sud.
denly chilled after an evening party,
and catarrh for several weeks would be
the result. One bottle of Peruna cured
me, and shall NOT dread colds any
more as did. "-BLANcHE MYERS.
Summer colds, though not as frequent
as winter colds, very often prove more
dangerous. At the first symptoms of
catching cold Peruna should be taken.
1t is sure to stop the cold at once, and
save needless suffering, and perhaps
catarrh.
Peruna as an internal, systemic rem
edy acts promptly on the inflamed mu-
cous membranes wherever the cold has
settled. 1t strikes at the root of the
matter, and thus cures promptly and
permanently.

Cashion, o. 7. March. 10 1901.
Feeling that few items OF the
prairies might interest the Big
Sandians, l shall offer no apology
for contributing the same to the
NEWS. AT present the weather is
very dry and the wheat, which is
the staple crop, looks like failure.
Wheat that was sown last fall late
is yet In the ground as dry as when
first taken from the granary.
Though the prospects Of a plenti-
full harvest is not promising, the
farmers do not despair, for they
say that prospects have been worse
when abundant crops were had.
Oklahoma Is fine country but un-
fortunately for Its people, 1t is sit
uated between Texas and Kansas,
which states keep passing their
dry winds back and forth across
this Territory effecting dry
elm ate. Windstorms are pleDtl-
full and dust storms are not rare.
Not long since the writer expert
erced a most severe dust storm.
1t was late In the afternoon just
after a calm day. Not thinking
OF any disturbances at all, / was
in my room reading, when all at
once a strong gust OF wind shook
the house; and on investigation,
| found the cave was the safest re-
treat. So lost no time in betak-
Ing myself thither. The dust
blew and blew. Many farmes
blew by. For the plowed land had
never been settled by rain and
was loose and dry, and was easily
handled by the wind. The wind
blowing over my cave made a
noise very similar to that made
by yellow jacket buzzing In a
bung-hole.
The farmers are busy In plowing
for oats. When grain is sown
, farmers are at leasure till 1t is
ready for harvest. The farmer
doesn't labor SO regularly as the
farmers in the East. He finds
! more time for rest.
