Hundreds of Prospective Homestead
ers Camping Out.

NORFOLK-Within the last ten
days the town of Bonesteel, the ter
minal of the Northwestern branch
which runs out of Norfolk, has prac-
tically doubled in size. From vii
lage of hardly 400 people eight weeks
ago it has developed into little city
of 5000 today. Everywhere in Bone
steel is to be heard the constant rap
ping of the carpenters hammer The
lumber yards are busy and the dray-
men are on the jump, getting new
stock settled. Out around the town.
stretched for mile or so, are innum-
cradle white tents wherein bunk hun
dreds of prospective homesteaders
who have got in ahead of the rush.
Women of Bonesteel have made
preparations for the reception of the
incoming throng of women who will
want to take chances at the free home
business.
Northwestern officials in Norfolk
have ordered all general agents of the
company to make no arrangement this
year whatever for Fourth of July spe-
cial trains, as every car with wheels
on will be required for use on the ma
tional day for the transportation of
the Rosebud rush. Registration be-
gins at Fairfax, Bonesteel, Yankton
and Chamberlain on July and con-
tinues till July %.

The Death List Grows.

NEW YORK-With unceasing eff
fort search is going on for the bodies
OF those who persisted on the Gen
eral Slocum. What the list of vic
tins will total scarce any one dare
venture guess, but whatever the
number may be there is hardly par
allel in the history of disasters where
death came to so many in so brief
period of time.
Police and health department Off
Gals have placed the number at a
figure as high as 1000 and more, but
1t would seem that the maximum ia
tality will not largely exceed 700.
All day long, from sunrise until
darkness, shut off even the melan-
choly satisfaction of watching for the
dead, anxious searchers kept up their
vigilance and at dusk there had been
recovered 536 bodies, for the greater
part women and children.

\gNEWS IN NEBRASKA ~
MANY ARE LOOKING FOR LAND.
o'NelI Land Office Has Many AppI.
cants for Biu homesteads,

ONell Ldnu OHlCe r1dS many April
cants for Big Homesteads.
O'NEILL-Inquiry at the local land
Office brings out the fact that from
twenty to thirty strangers are visiting
this place daily in search of home
steads. Many persons are filing on
100 acres under the impression that
when the Kinkaid bill takes effect on
June %, that they cap then take
three more quarters and some under
the impression that such a filing now
will give the applicants a preference
right to adjoining land. 1t is certain
that such a filing made now will not
give any preference right to adjoin-
ing land, but 1t is believed by some
well informed persons here that such
an applicant may on June % make
application to amend his original en-.
try and that If such an application is
made before another filing is made on
the land desired in the amended APP
plication, and there would be a posi-
bility of the entry as amended being
allowed to stand. Judge Kinkaid is
taking an active interest in looking
utter Ine rlSnIS Oh the settlers IN MS
district and hopes to have such con-
struction put upon the law. The
judge received word from Washington
that the filing fee on $40 acres will be
$14, the same amount as heretofore
charged for 100 acres. There is yet
an open question regarding the rights
of those who have homesteads and
have not made proof, where there is
no vacant land adjoining, being able
to take three quarters not adjoining,
but the Judge is making an effort to
get liberal construction which will
permit such filings. Such a provision
was in the judges original bill in plain
words and it is believed that the bill
as passed will be construed to permit
taking land in this manner. The last
congress also passed a bill allowing
persons who have taken homesteads
and have abandoned or relinquished
their former entries to take another
homestead.
