a Superb Book.

The first volume of the "Home Libra
ry," published by the American Publish
ing Company of this town, is now on
sale at the Register Book store at the
remarkably low price of 81.
The book is beautiful one in every
way. 1t contains 42O pages of selections
from the best literature of the world,
chosen to meet every taste. A glance at
the table of contents shows some of the
most popular writings in the English
language. There are 1870 illustrations in
all and these alone are more than worth
the price of the book, being made from
the finest half-tones money can buy.
1t is printed in large type on rich
coated stock, admirably adapted for
reading by lamplight. 1t is bound in a
very pretty silk cover with a gilt top.
While intended for all readers, it is
especially adapted for Vermont readers,
containing many selections of the works
of Vermont authors and the illustrations
mainly of Vermont scenery. A large
number are taken from views of Middle
bury and the surrounding territory.
Those who have examined the book
give it the highest commentator and
agree with the publisher that there is no
finer SO book published. ITO see is to
agree"

Ieasons for supporting Senate Joint

SSSS First, because was fully convinced

that the seat OF government of this
state should be located in the James

to the people of all parts OF the state.

their opinion that capital removal
would never down or cease 10 be

@yoters at the polls had had an on
Fportunity to pass upon this or a SIM
liar resolution.
From the very day Pierre was de-
1clared the capital of our state, dis
satisfaction has Leeu evident because
of the Inconvenience in reaching that
Place and the amount of valuable
time consur' ed in going to aud coming
! from the capital AT the last session

FREE HOMES IN WEST
Two Million Acres of Govern.
ment Lands to be Opened .
TO the Homesteader.
FERTILE FARMING LANDS
And Good Sheep and Cattle
Ranges in Rosebud and
Shoshone Reservations.

Almost half a million acres of Gov
ernment land in the Rosebud Indian
Reservation, in the southwestern part
part of South Dakota, and one and
half million acres on the Shoshone
reservation in Wyoming, are to be
opened for homestead settlement at
an early day. Registration for the
Rosebud lands will probably begin
August and the final allotment take
place month later. The Rosebud
reservation lands are well watered by
the Missouri, Niobrara and White
rivers and are situated in the great
corn belt, where adjacent farm lands
are selling at froia 40. 90 to $4,000 an
acre. The region that is to be opened
is reached by the direct line of the
Chicago s. Northwestern R'y from
Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Sioux
City, Des Moines, Omaha, Fremont,
the Black Hills and other points in
the west, through to Bonesteel on the
eastern reservation border.
The Shoshone or Wind River Reser-
walton is in the high plateau lands of
Central Wyoming, bounded on the
south by the Wind river, and on the
North by the Owl Creek mountains,
while tie Big Horn drains the eastern
portion of the lands to be opened.
These lands are to be reached via
the Chicago & North Western R'y to
Casper, thence by stage to Lander, or
via the Chicago, Nnion Pacific and
North Western Line to Rawlins.
The t1eaty has been made by which
the Shoshone lands north OF the Wind
river are to'be opened to settlement,
and awaits early cong gfcssional action.
Government lands of good quality are
much scarcer than they were at one
time, and the interest evidenced by
this announcement Of new lands to be
opened to the settler is very great. A
heavy movement westward of those
| who desire to avail themselves CT the
| United States homestead act will
doubtless begin as a result of the an
nouncement that these lands are to
be opened.
