certain number of rounds bowled, the team
making the largest number of points win

the balls in the tee-circle. but also to
place other balls to protect them from dis

game is to dislodge from the tee-circle
bowls landed there by opponents.

ONLY 800 ACRES.

The act of August 80, 1890, restricts
parties from acquiring more than 1920
acres under the land laws Of the Unit,
ed States, but hitherto it has not been
held to apply to the timber and stone
act nor the isolated tract law. Under
a decision Of the secretary of the in.
terror handed down May 4, 1905, it is
now held that all persons who hereaf,
ter seek title to any of the non-mineral
public lands of the United States
should be required to file an affidavit
to the effect that since August 80, 1890,
they have not acquired title to, nor are
they at the time claiming under any of
the agricultural land laws of the I'm
tied States, any amount OF land which,
together with the land applied for.
would exceed in the aggregate 800
acres.
Secretary Hitchcock is determined
that the public domain be parceled out
to he settlers so far as possible and
to this end he is restricting in every
conceivable name the requirement
Of title in any other but a strictly legal
one. In this the secretary is doing the
entire people a valuable service.

The executive committee of the
board of trustees of the University of
Wyoming held its regular monthly
meeting this afternoon, at the office of
the secretary, DIR. Grace r. Hebard. at
the university, all the members being
present and Chairman Gramm prosid-
ing. The committee disposed of its
routine business.
The committee of the board has for
mally accepted the donation made
through Hon. w. j. Bryan of Lincoln,
Neb., by the will of the late Philo Sher-
man Bennett of Hartford, Conn, of
$500, the income of which is to be CIV

student of the university on The
Principles of a Free Government" The
money is invested and is yielding
about 5 per cent per annum. The in
terest for this year is availa ole al the
present time, but the bequ~st came so
late that suitable arrangements could
not be made, and it is now believed
that the prize will be offered for next
year, about commencement time, the

the university in time to permit all
who desire to enter the contest.

OF EMBLEM
FLAG DAY TO BE OBSERVED ON
WEDNESDAY, JUNE IA, ALL
THROUGH COUNTRY.
Patriotic Address by General Blackwell,
Chief Aide in Charge of Military
instruction M Patriotic Educa-
ton in Schools of Grand Army of
the Republic.

With the sunlight of a newborn day
hundred and twenty-eighth anniversary
of the birth of the Stars and Stripes.
Allen C. Blackwell, chief aide in
charge of military instruction and pa
triotic education in schools, Grand Ar
my of the Republic, has issued the fol-
lowing:
The custom inaugurated by procla-
nation and steadily growing into a
general observance OF the celebration
of the creation of this emblem of lib
erty wrought out by a determined peo-
pie, now prevails and this day is the
banner day of the republic.
Its stripes of red illustrate the blood
Of freemen shed for freedom from op.
preston: its parallel stripes of white
the purity Of purpose; its stars are
brilliants, multiplying as the years
pass on, which are set in an azure sky
covered by the heavens where omnipo>
tence reigns. 1t is a flag of triumph,
crowned with victory, carrying no
spoils of wal or other trophy of con-
quest beyond an establishment of I'M
blemished peace.
Every American citizen; every I'M
chained bondman; every being reliev-
ed from oppression; every exalted wo-
man; every child of equality, will rec
ognize its mission to uplift the nation
above the avarice OF mankind. 1t floats
today through eternal space, and as
it Is lowered at night where the world
sleeps it is raised at morn when the
world awakes.
1t is becoming, therefore, that on
this anniversary day, it should fly
from every masthead; every %steeple;
every %housetop and as we celebrate
the birth of human life with breath un-
tainted Or purpose undefiled so should
we celebrate the coming into being of
an emblem whose life has been unfair
nished with greed or rapine. AS it scars

Every lover of his country will hon

great or p~rofuse for our token of peace
inspired by the Divine will. The iniu-
ence of proper reverence for the bril-
liant symbol of Peace on earth and
good will toward men" will increase
our exaltation as a nation and be a
defense against injustice and a warn
ing against trespass. Let us accept it
then as a seal of promise, legalizing
our birthright as American citizens
dwelling together in harmony, brother

The Mammoth and the MOSQUITO

What has come to pass in thousands Of
years Gems hardly credible. Primitive
man, a weaklilg in comparison to modern
man. was able to conquer the huge mon.

lizards. The mosquitoes and flies are dan.
gerous enemies of man because they spread
contagion. The mosquito often carries the
germ of malaria with his bite. The house.
fly spreads germs of disease over our food.
These bacterial germs, ever hunting for
the weak spot, find a place in our blood,
and then we suffer from grip, catarrh, con-
sumption, or malaria.
DR.. r. v. Pierce, chief consulting physi.
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, says: There
would be no grip epidemics, the germs of
consumption. or malaria would find no
place in the human economy, if the blood
were pure, if the lungs, heart and other
organs were fed on good blood. Poisous
