creeping through the top of his hat
will agree with Mr.. Brown of Brown
that it is a terrible sensation. The law
will have another good effect. It will
thin out the population. At present it
| is a penitentiary offense to kill a man,
but under certain circumstances it is
justiffable and the penalty is much
| lighter than that provided by Mr..
Brown of Brown for simply covering
the person and soaring him away
When his law is passed. we will all
keep it in mind, and when we have oc-
caSion to protect ourselves against
shoot the candidate for trouble and
close the incident. AS the law is now,
we might point a gun at him, tell him
to git" and spare his worthless life.
Bills like the one presented by Mr..
Brown of Brown frequently arise from
a remembrance of injured feelings.
There are no COWBOYS I'D in Brown
county, Missouri where they never
produced anything of note except
Ewing Herbert, but it may be that in
days past. Mr.. Brown of Brown
grazed for a brief time in the far
west Perchance. at that time, some
festive herder of beef. DESTROYS of a
little entertainment caused Mr..
Brown of Brown to dance the High
land Fling. An incident if this kind
would naturally rankle in the breast
who has no saving sense Of humor,
and after hiding his time and nursing
his grievance for many years, he
comes into power and proceeds to
eliminate the simple sport and pas
time of the cowboy. Now if Mr..
Brown of Brown would rehash his bill
to read:
IAN act making it a penitentiary
offense to point unIoaded firearms at
any person he would have the en-
dorsement of the world The loaded
gun is always in complete control of
the operator, but the unIoaded shoot
ing iron is a. menace to civilization
and small children.

Mr.. Hackney from Cowley county
has stirred up the insects. He wants
to investigate the state officials and
see if their accounts are straight. If
not, Mr.. Hackney's bill provides for
the canning of said officials and the
appointment of others by the COVER

Tt will never do to let this bill pass.
Prompt action on the part of the

About Homestead Publications.
Several Notices OF Final Proof Will
be found in the Chronicle this week.
These notices were plainly and un-
mistakably addressed to this office.
Thinking that there might be some
mistake az to one or two OF these
notices being directed to this paper,
we wrote to the Register OF the Land
Office to inquire about it, and have
his letter In which he instructs that
the Chronicle go ahead with the pub
lication.
An examination of the law shows
that the Register has the right OF Sc
lecting the newspaper In which to
publish Final Proofs, and not the
Homesteader. as some have errone-
ously supposed. Thismay be seen by
referring to the law about Title to
Public Land (page l4) under. the head
of Final Proofs, which reads az FOL
lows: "A settler desiring to make
final proof must file with the Register
OF the proper land Office written
notice, in the prescribed form, OF bis
Intention to do SO, which notice Will

as nearest the land, once a week fol

sent out the following circular letter
regarding the opening of the Insti-
tute this year:

ger OF yellow fever will have passed
and that all who wish to attend the
Industrial Institute the coming year
will have no difficulty in reaching
Ruston. This postponcment Will In
no way interfere with any plans or
appointments that have already been
made.
Permit US to state that from the
correspondence Of former students
and citizens generally it seems prob
able that the attendance for the com
ing year will he quite large. W.
would be pleased to mail a copy o
