Trickery Employed.

Sometimes hOmeSteals are entered
cultural when as matter of fact the
person entering the land desires it for
the timber. The cost of homesteads is
less than that of entries under the
timber and stone act The mead Of
any family over 81 years of age may
enter a homestead. If a man has
served as soldier in the United
States army he need not be 81. An
unmarried woman may enter home
stead. There are many homestead
statutes In a general way, one per-
son may not enter more than $50
acres. He must make affidavit that
the land is for his exclusive benefit;
that the entry is for settlement and
cultivation.
At the end Of five years or seven
years, the person who entered the land
must prove by two witnesses that he
lived on and cultivated the land five
years succeeding the time OF ming the
affidavit. He must make no trans
fers in the five years except for school
church, cemetery or railroad right
oi-way purposes.
If it is proved before the register of
the. land Office that the homesteader
abandoned the land more than six
months at a time, then the land en-
tered shall revert to the government.
Publication of intention to make final
proof must be made five weeks.
In case of a soldier the time he
served in the army may be deducted
from the five years required to OBJ
tain a homestead title, but he must
live on the land and cultivate it one
year.
A homesteader may sell timber to
clear land for cultivation, but he is
not allowed to denude the land of
timber just for sake of speculation.

NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Rose Fror, Gr,ez.

What s. fortunate provision Of nature
it is. that deprivcs the rose OF mental
suffering; Tor how poignant would be its
grief TO discover. in the height Of it's
blooming glory. that a canker fad at its
heart. and that Its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
store-house Of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. Insfthe years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
OF Young women. but thanks to the in
vestISat!ons Of scientists the true cause
of hair destruction is now known to be
germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicies. Newbro's Herpicide

where it had been planned to hold q
surprise party for their pastor, Rev..
Hartman, and to welcome here his
newly welded bride, who is the daugh-
ter OF DR.. Bochman, president of the
theological seminary Of which Rev.
Hartman is graduate. The COM
pany brought well filed baskets and
sool bountiful dinner was spread
and heartily enjoyed by all present.
The afternoon was spent in listening
to graphophone music, singing by the
choir and pleasureable visiting. Asa
slight token of esteem for the pastors
services here and as a gift of welcome
to Mrs Hartman, she was presented
with purse Of $50 which had been
collected by K. Sanderson from the
congregation and outside friends.
Then the pastor stepped forward, but
contending emotions kept him silent
for moment-tenderly and grateful
ly he spoke his thanks for the great
kindness shown him and his bride on
this occasion. At the close Of the
day supper was served, after which
the friends returned to their homes.

the fact that they have made Wads-

speaks volumes for its quality. While

The Auditor has just received official
notification from the executive coun-
Gil OF the state tax levy for 1905.
General revenue. ......... 32 mills
State University -. ..... OF mills
Agricultural College. ..... OF mills
State Normal. 49,. OIL mill
This is the same as ths levy for 1904
with the exception that the general
revenue tax is 2 of mill higher, but
this is Offset by the decrease in the
assessed valuation of land on which
the 1905 tax will be computed.
