TO REMOVE
RESTRICTIONS
wITL BE- RECOMMENDED BY CLAPP
HITCHCOCK MAY HAVE SOME
THING TO SAY.
SURPLUS LANDS BRING LESS
Than They Would il Indians Could Sell
Large Tracts.

Washington, Nov There IS
reasonto believe that Senator Clapp
OF Minnesota, who is a member Of
the Committee on Territories. and
who may be chairman of that
committee after March 4. will advo-
cate the removal Of the restrictions
on all the surplus lands of Indians
in the Territory Senator Clapp
made trip through the territory
about month ago and it is said
one result Of his investigation was.
the conviction that the law provid-
ing that the Indians may ALLEVIATE
their surplus lands only in INSTALL
ments, in one, three and FIVE years.
operates to their disadvantage.
It was shown that the efect>of
restriction is that the surplus lands
bring less than they would if the
Indians were allowed to sell them
at one time. The tracts which they
may sell under this provision are
necessarily small too small to Be
desirable to the ordinary farmer,
and as consequense The price offered
ls Proportiouately less than if they
could sell all their surplus at one
time and in one body.
Senator Clapp is understood to
agree with this view md to believe
that it would be far more beneficial
to the Indians to allow them to sell
all their surplus lands at one time
than peacemeal as they must do
now. 3g
Its thought likely that Secretary
Hitchcock will make some recon-
'mendatlon on this subject, but what
II will be cannot be learned at this
time.

The people generally are very much
misinfornAed as to the nature of catarrh.
Catarrh is usually believed 10 be con-
fined to the head, nose and throat. Lat
tcrly we sometimes hear of catarrh of
the stomach and catarrh of the bladder.
seldom, if ever, do We hear of catarrh of
4lny OF er organs.
it is nN because these organs are not
subject to catarrh, nor that catarrh of
these organs is not very common dis
ease, but simply because it is not gener-
ally known that affections OF these
organs may be due to catarrh.

ported to the officials a mysterious ac-
cident to q LOCOMOTIVES which the

ing To the watchman'S story, while h"
was talking with another employe of

rection of the turntable. on nVrStiga-
ton, he found that nm engine which
had been quartered for the night in the
rOundhouSe had started from its posi-
ton and had run down the spur track
into the pit. the turntable havins: stood
ut an angle with the rails or which the
locomotive ran. AS far as the watch
man knew no one had been near the

gest.
The locomotive was not badly damaG-
ell ana 4 wrecking crew replaced it on
