AFTER LAND FRAUDS.
Mr.. Dean Promises to Make 1t Warm
for Some One.

T. E. Ryan, special land commits
sioner of the United States land de-
partment, is in Topeka making a re-
port to United States Attorney Dean
concerning fraudulent proofs on
homesteaded lands in western Kansas.
These reports will all be presented to
the federal grand jury next January at
Wichita and a large number of arrests
will follow.
1.-The method employed by these
people who we will seek to place I'M
der indictment" said United States At
torney Dean. 'is to homestead a tract
of land when they want additional
pasture for their ranches, build a
$3.50 shack thereon, and never see the
place again. When the time comes to
file proof they swear that they have
complied with all the requirements
and secure a couple of perjured wit
nesses to subscribe to their testimony
There are hundreds and hundreds of
these cases and we intend to stop
them"
Mr.. Ryan, the land agent, has been
at work all summer gathering up the
evidence. He is filing his report with
Mr.. Dean today.

General conditions in agricultural. in
dustrial mercantile and financial circles
all remain exceptionally satisfactory,
says Henry CIews in the latest issue of
the Financial Review. In fact, it is not
often that all the great divisions of
industry and trade are in as sound and
as hopeful a state as they are today.
In consequence, we have a spirit of well
grounded confidence that sooner or later
must express itself in increased indus
trial activity. Now that confidence has
been completely restored by the remov-
al of political uncertainties, initial
forces will have freer play, enterprise
will revive. deferred projects will be
resuscitated; and in spite of high prices
and high cost of doing business the
country will continue to progress until
its rapidly growing demands arising
from the increase of population are sat-
isfied by an increase in output. There
are signs here and there of insufficient
production which in part account for
present high prices, and on this ground
alone there is justification for a revival
of ENTERPRISE.

parts of the world. OF this total less
than 100 millions went to Asia. 43 mill
lions to South America. 26 millions to
North America, rs millions to
Oceanic, and about IA millions to
Africa.
Comparing exports with production
it may be added that the remarkable
growth in expectation has been fully
justified by production in the United
States, which has grown from FL mil
lion gallons in 1850 to 220 millions in
1870, 1,104 millions in 1880, 1.924 mil
lions in 1890, 1861 millions In 1900,
and 4,219 millions in 1903. according
to the preliminary figures Of the

FUSS OVER A CHILD.
Police Called on to Settle Quarrel
Between Man and Wife.

The police were called upon this after
noon to settle poSt-divorce row between
a man and his wife who were Quarreling
over the possession of child. From what
the officers could CLEAN it seemed that
they were divorced and the court very un-
wisely left the job of dividing the chill
dren to the Divorces. The man, it SEEM
ed, had the child with him; the mother
took it away from him; he took it back
again and the mother was endeavoring to
get her offspring the second time. The
disturbance occurred at the Rock Island
depot and Officer James brought all par
ties concerned to the station. No arrests
We're made, however, and the argument is
stitI IN an unsettled condition. The man
said that his name was Taylor and thar
ne was from Atchison county.
