a WOMAN'S TRICK.

In Oregon an instance was recently disCov-
cred. almost under the nose of the court which
was trying Senator Mitchell for completely in
land frauds A young woman made entry on
$50 acres, and put up cabin six months after
she made her entry. and lived in the cabin per-
haps a week. Six months later she fled an affi-
davit that she was too i'll to go on the land that
summer, and continued to file such affidavits un-
Isl the suspicious of the Land Office were
aroused Investigation revealed the fact that
she was not in any sense a bona fde settler
that she had never cultivated the land, and
doubtless never intended to.
In the same neighborhood a case was found
where a living in the village had made a
homestead entry. He erected cabin and was
cultivating his claim a scant acre Of pota-
toes. Meanwhile he had been cutting the TIM
Der with which the claim was covered. When
detected by the agent charged with investigat-
ing such cases he had cut timber worth 81 O00
and had contracted for its sale He had also
sought TO sell the REIMBURSEMENT Of his claim
TO some one else who would become a real set
tier Had he been successful he would have
acquired $1,000 worth OF timber for which he
had given no return whatever and would have
deprived the claim of just that much value to
the settler who followed him. but who would
have bought his REIMBURSEMENT because it rep
resented three years OF the five necessary TO
perfect title without cash payment
In South Dakota a few months ago a COM
pany sent to st. Paul and Minneapolis and
gathered up on the streets of those cities TWEEN

CUTICURA
Soap, Ointment and Pills
the Worlds Greatest
i Skin Cures.
PRICE The SET ST.
Complete Treatment for Every
humour, from Pimplcs
! to SCrOfula.

The agonizing itching and burning
OF the skin, as in eczema the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis the loss Of
hair and crusting of the scalp, as in
SCALED head the facial Disagreement,
as in pimples and ringworm; the
awful suffering OF infants and the
anxiety of worn-out parents, as in
milk crust, tetter, and salt rheum, all
demand n remedy of almost super
human virtues to successfully cope
with them. That Cuticura Soap, Oint-
ment, and Pills are such stands proven
beyond all doubt. No statement is
made regarding them that is not justi-
fed blythe strongest evidence. The
purity and sweetness, the power to
afford immediate relief, the certainty
of speedy and permanent cure, the alb
solute safety and great economy, have
made them the standard skin cures
and humour remedies of the civilized
world.
The grandest testimonial that eau
be offered the Cuticura remedies is
their worldwide sale, due to the per-
sonal recommendation of those who
have used them. From a small begin
ming in the simplest form, against
prejudice and opposition, against
monied hosts, countless rivals, and
trade Indifference, Cuticura remedies
have become the greatest curativcs Of
their time, and, in fact, of all time,
for nowhere in the history of medicine
is to be found another approaching
them in popularity and sale. In every
cline and with every people they have
met with the same reception. The
confines of the earth are the only
limits to their growth. They have
conquered the world.

Detectives T. j. Moore and viii
Baker. the plain clothes men named
by the police commissioners last
night, were put to work this morn
ing.
Chief Collins, Of course, Is over the
detectives. but arrangements will be
made to give them the most of the
work which would naturally Tall 20
detectives. This Is the detail work
on criminals who are at large and
wanted, This will not, course,
take any work OF the regular police
who have an eye out for criminals
wanted elsewhere. but they will not
be asked 10 exert themselves to any
great degree in apprehending such
criminals, this work falling under
the head of the detective department.
First extra. Dick Wood, who Is
achng today for Onicer Aaron Hur-
ley, will be placed In Oficer Moore's
position permanently, and the second
extra man promoted 10 Woods place.
This will probably necessitate the ap-
polntment of second extra man.
Detectives Moore ana Baker are
being instructed today by Chief Col
Inns relative to their work aud will

While the two detectives are equal In
position, the direction OF the work
will in all probability be given To

qualified to direct IL.

REGARDING ATHLETICS
MIR. A. T. STUART OPPOSES EX-
TENSION OF PLAYING SEASON.

II am opposed to any extension of the
playing season, either in foot ball, basket
ball or base ball. by playing off tie games
o. by playing out-of-town games. do not
favor the employment of paid coaches apd
shall seek in the future to prevent these
practices where they exist
Thus firmly has A. T. Stuart superin-
tendent of the public schools, taken his
stand regarding athletics. and from the
tone of his Endorsement, as quoted, it
would seem that the prediction that there
will be no more out-of-town games for
teams representing the local high schools
as printed exclusively in The Star a few
days ago will probably be realized.i in fact.
Superintendent Stuarts pronouncement was
brought forth as the result of the pro-
pounding of a series of queries by the sub
committee of the public schools committee
of the Board of Trade. These concerned, in
a general way, the effect of athletics upon
the pupils and upon the schools. together
with several questions covering the amount
of time allotted for indoor and outdoor
sports and the eligibility rules Exhaustive
answers are made by P. NJ Hughes, direct
or OF high schools, to all of the queries
propounded, and Superintendent Stuart, in
his Endorsement forwarding the papers TO
the board of education and to the Com
missioners. declares that the directors
statement meets with his approval.
Conference Held
L haQ a conference with the directors
and principals of the high and manual
training schools" Mr.. Stuart states, and
the situation in athletics was thoroughly
discussed. / am satisfied that the high
school authorities have the matter well in
hand. The board of faculty advisers, COM
posed of a teacher from each high school,
makes and enforces regulations governing
all questions of practice and competitions,
Is responsible for conduct of pupils on the
field and 1t is their business to to 1t
that the athletic work of the school does
not encroach upon the domain of scholar
ship"
In concluding the superintendent says:
"On the whole, I think the directors of the
high and manual training schools and the
principals of the said schools acting
thr ough the board of faculty advisers, have
good control over athletics and are exert
ing such prudent oversight as is incum-
bent upon them"
Commissioner mcfarland moved that d.
rector Hughes report and Superintendent
Stuart's statement be forwarded to the
Board of Trade.
