Definite plans for the disposal OF ths

is stated by those in authority thai
the lottery scheme which was used IN
the opening Of the Kiowa, Comanche
and Apache reservations in Oklahoma
will be used, or something very SIM

incident to the opening for settlement
Of any tract Of valuable government
land
When the date of opening Is fixed
registration period consisting of about
thirty days Will be announced, durins
which time all parties wishing to ac-
quire land in this tract can register
II is required that the applicant
show by written proofs that he Is
qualified to make a homestead entry
and that he desires to do so in order
to secure himself home. These APP
plications must be made in person ex-
oept in the case of honorably discharg-
ed soldiers. Registration certlHcates
will be issued to those whose applica
lions are received and the drawing will
be conducted by non partisan, disin-

will be wholly by chance. The regis

ed. and the equity cannot be disposed
of ntil after the applicant has made his
entry and has actually filed upon
the land.
The land must be paid for at the
rate of SO per acre for all that is filed
upon before six months have elapsed
after the opening of the land for set
tleraent and $3.50 per acre for all that
is yet open after six months. This IS
to be paid at the rate of 81 per acre
at the SO rate and rs cents per acre
at the $3.50 rate at the time OF entry
and the balance In installments so that
full payment will be made in five years.
A report comes from Washing to the
effect that President Roosevelt is
not satisfied with the bill as it Was
passed and has stated that he would
veto the measure unless the price of
the land is raised to So per acre, and
if this report be true there may be
some delay about the opening.

EVER THINK ABOUT IT7
Many Resident Of MarshalItown Will
Tell You.


We are living in very rapid age
Few of us bother our heads about small
things and SO many persons look upon
o pain, ache or iameness in the back
as a small thing. They wait for it TO
pass off, giving no thought to the
cause. Remember these important
facts, take mental note Of them for
future use and when the time comes
use them. The kidneys are the sewers
OF the system; they carry off the inl-
pure matter but sewers sometimes be-
come clogged up. So do the kidneys.
The kidneys are located near the small
OF the back hence any stoppage affects
the back. This means backache, lame
back, weak back, and many other dis
dressing symptoms. There is lots more
to tell on this subject, but we won't
do it here for we want to show you
how to keep the kidneys SO the back
will have no cause to ache. You might
not believe us. so we will let one of
your own citizens tell their expert
ence:

MONA MEDANS IN
FEAR OF YANKEES
Religious Excitement Follows Ar.
rival of Warships at
Tangier.

washington, June Admiral
Chadwick to-day cabled to the navy
department that the presence Of an
American fleet at Tangier has had
a salutary influence and that the COM
munity is in q. state of great religious
excitement.
The cablegram also reported that
the Marietta, which was sent to Gil
braltar for stores, has joined the fleet
at Tangier; that an Italian nlan-of-
war had arrived and that an English
warship was expected to arrive at
the Morocco port.
Admiral Chadwick's cable report is
criticisms, mainly from British
sources, upon the wisdom Of send
ing American warships to Morocco at
this juncture. The British view is
that the release Of the kidnapped
men, Perdicaris and Marley, can be
more safely obtained by refrainine
from adding to the antiforeign feel
ing Of the Moors. and that the gov
eminent, therefore, has so far, sent
to Moroccan waters nothing more for
| midable in a naval way than small
| dispatch boat, the Surprise, and Is re-
| lying entirely upon the efforts Of the
| British minister resident. =.
| The religious excitement mentioned
as prevailing among the Moors is be.
lieved here to be incident primarily
to one of the annual Mohammedar
pilgrimages occurring at this season
Undoubtedly, however, the pres
ence of the seven American warship,
at Tangier, with a promise Of rein
| forcement if necessary by the bt,
| battleship squadron, is regarded Al
threatening Moorish integrity and tn
Mohammedan religion, and has con
tributed to the excitement.

NEGRO THOUSANDS
GUARD MRS. ELIAS
Police Reserves Charge Throng
Around Woman of Green
Platt Case.

New York, June A charge by
police reserves has been necessary to
drive away thousands Of persons
blocking Central Park west, in front
Of the home Of Hannah Elias, the oc-
toroon, who is charged by John r.
Platt, an aged millionaire manufac-
turer, with having secured from him
by blackmail nearly 100000 in cash
and real estate.
Mounted police headed the charge
and they were compelled to use ex-
IRENE measures in order to drive Off
the crowd, which was composed large
ly of negroes, friendly to the woman.
Mrs. Elias has been besieged in her
splendid residence by deputies seek
ing to serve a. warrant since suit was
begun by Plat. AS it is a civil suit,
the officers are not empowered to
break in the doors, SO they have
woman to attempt an escape.
Meantime, scores Of private detec-
tives, employed by numerous persons
| interested In the case, have stationed
| themselves near by, shadowing all who
enter or leave the house and serve as
an added attraction to the curious.
| Finally the crowd became so dense
that Central Park west was damned 9
block in both directions. From the
sullen attitude Of the negroes it is sur
missed that they, or at least some of
Mrs. Elias should she endeavor to
leave the house.
When the police reserves were
called the heroes became extremely
sullen and were driven away with
much difficulty, jeering and insulting
the white men as they went. No one
was injured. -

GENERAL BATTLE EXPECTED
ST. Petersburg Looks for KuropatlSin
to Take Offensive.

St. Petersburg, June 4.-3:27 D. m.
The general public at the Russian
capital is inabued with the belief that
Important military developments are
impending at Liao-yang and that
general engagement between General
Kuropatkin's and General Kuroki's
armies is imminent.
Altho the authorities are doing
nothing to discourage the idea, the
best-informed circles at the war Of
nee do not expect a decisive battle
imm ediately, unless brought on more
or less unexpectedly by an accidental
collision between strong columns, as
often happens in warfare.
The war Offices information does
not indicate that the japanese have
concentrated for an attack on Kuro-
patkin and it is said that they are
not yet ready to assume the offensive.
Nevertheless it is known that DIFF
ferences of opinion exist at the Rus
sian headquarters as to the advisa-
bility Of taking the aggressive, and it
is believed that this matter was the
the commander-in-chief and the
viceroy at Mukden Tuesday.
Kuropatkin's position is becoming
very formidable, both in the number
and character Of the troops at his dis
posal. The condition Of some Of the
Siberian reserves when called to the
colors was not satisfactory and caused
Kuropatkin misgivings, but it is now
reported that they have been drilled
into a state Of efficiency
More important, however, are the
large reinforcements Of field artillery
in which the Russian army was es-
pecially weak.
These have now arrived. Neverthe-
less Kuropatkin does not consider
himself strong enough to risk the pos
sibility Of defeat which might be
irretrievable and spell disaster or at
least years of campaigning. His
friends here say that If he gives bat
tie Of his own volition now victory is
certain and they praise his steady
conservatism, caution and refusal to
listen to the counsel Of the hotspurs.
