Hummell and Benjamin F. Steinhardt, of the law firm of Howe & HummeH. Edward J. BraCken, a detective, said to have been employed by the firm; Chas. F. Dodge, formerly the husband of Mrs Morse, and several other persons whose names have not yet been made public. The grand jury was excused from fur theT duty until next Tuesday. when it is said more indictments will be found.
 The indictments against Hummell and Steinhardt are two each for sub ornatiOn of perjury and one each for conspiracy; against Fursman, Dodge and Bracken are one indictment each for conspiracy.
 The alleged subOrnatiOn of perjury consisted in inducing Dodge to make affidavit that he had never been served with papers in the divorce case. The alleged conspiracy consisted of an all legged attempt to defeat the ends of jus tice by having the marriage set aside illegally.
 Former Justice Fursman, accompa- nied by his counsel, D. Cady Herrick, appeared before Justice McMahon and, after pleading not guilty, was paroled in custody of his counsel. MT.

It Is rumored that several Japanese guns were taken. There was no fighting at the center or on the left flank The Japanese advance is believed to have been inspired in part by news of the Russian internal troubles, intelligence, Of which reached the Russian army at dawn of Jan p.
 Following the sudden return of win ter weather, cannon began booming far to the westward and through the morning fog the Japanese unexpected ly advanced. The riiemen on the Rus sian right flank were so vigorously em- ployed on the fighting line that by eve ming they had met the Japanese at tack by brilliant counter attack. The Japanese at once began to retire abandoning and setting fire to the viI- lage. Throughout the night and all today firing was heard along the line toward the Hun river, in the vicinity of the villages of HeksUtaiI and Liud- iutun, in the center, the Japanese fir ing occasional shots to get the range of the Russian positions.

You know the poet says something
about sermons in stones and running
brooks. and various other places You
can find sermons almost anywhere you
look for them. This one comes from the
baseball diamond.
About ten years ago there were two
mutes attending the Kansas school for
the deaf and dumb at Olathe. They
were both of good physique and it hap
pened that both proved to be fairly good
baseball pitchers. But one was consid-
erably better than the other. Luther
Taylor, who came from farm near
Ottawa, could twirl ball in pretty
good shape. but the other boy could
pitch all around him.
In the course of time they completed
the course in the school and struck out
to make a living for themselves. AS
the years went by both became profess
sional ball pitchers. There was vast
difference between them, however
Dummy" Taylor was straight as a
string in his habits. He refused to drink
and carouse with the other players. He
behaved himself and led a decent life
The other fellow, who started out as
Taylor's superior, did the other thing
He took to drinking. The result was,
of course, what might have been expect
ed. His muscles and nerves couldn't
stand the strain. He became only medi-
OGRE in his profession.
Today Dummy Taylor is receiving
a big salary from New York and he is
one Of the big pitchers of the National
League. His team is at the top of the
league and Taylor is in a measure re-
sponsible for it. The other man is
pitching for a small town in minor
league. He started with far batter pros
poets than Taylor, but drink has kept
him down.
Even from a financial and selfish
standpoint it pays to be decent in ones
habits and life. The star player of the
Kansas City Blues is a young man who
not only leaves liquor alone, but he is
said to be a Christian, and he will not
play bah on Sunday nor does he swear.
This may seem like a peculiar combina-
ton, yet there is probably no more pop
ular player on the Kansas City team
than he.
The drunkard has a hard time of it.
He always has and always will. He
not only is a curse to himself, but to his
family and friends also. In many in
stances drink brings him to a suicides
or to a pauper's grave. And worse than
all the Bible says that no drunkard
shall inherit eternal life. YSle best way
is to leave drink alone.

KANSAS LANDS.

A few days ago big crowds gath
cred at Grand Junction, Colo, and
at three or four places in Utah. They
were there to register for the drawing
of government lands which will be
available for settlement with the
opening of the Uintah Indian reserva-
ton in Utah shortly. Every day adds
to the crowds at all registration
points, all eager to secure land on
this new reservation.
Only a comparatively small number
can be lucky-or unlucky-enough to
draw lands. There is only about n
million acres to be drawn, and there
are enough people registered to file on
several times that amount, giving each
$50 acres.
One would suppose that the Uintah
lands are the only ones the govern
ment has, but as a matter of fact
there are millions of acres of land
scattered over the country open to
homestead entry, and a great amount
of it is far better than the Uintah
lands.
These Utah lands will never be
worth anything without irrigation, and
it requires a great deal of money to
develop water supplies, even when
they can be secured at all. On the
other hand, there are millions of acres
| of good agricultural lands scattered
over the western states on which some
crops can be grown without irrigation,
and which with a little irrigation
would be extremely productive.
There is still a considerable amount
of government land open to homestead
in western Kansas. One has to know
where to find it, but it is there. Some
of it is not worth much except for graz
ing purposes, but there is a large
amount that is good agricultural land
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-08-05

far ahead of that which viii be avail
able on the Uintah reservation.
Besides government land there is any
amount of other cheap land in western
Kansas. In some counties fairly good
land can be secured Tor TWO or three
dollars an acre, and there is any
amount of first-class farm land availa-
BILE at from four to ten dollars, and it
can be purchased on easy terms and
long time. Western Kansas land, even
at ten dollars an acre. payable on easy
terms, will be cheaper in the long run
than Uintah land. It is possible for the
settler to make living on most of 1t
from the start, while water must be de-
veloped on the Utah land before it will
be good for anything at all. The same
amount of money expended in western
Kansas would make fine homes whereas
on Utah land it would just get it ready
to be productive.
Why, then, should there be such
rush for the Uintah land? The reason
probably is because the drawing is ex
tensively advertised by the government
through the newspapers of the country,
while comparatively little is said of the
cheap land that is always open to set
tlement elsewhere.

Essay on the Horse.

Here is Bombay students essay
upon the horse: 1.-The horse is a very
noble quadruped, but when he is
angry he will not do so. He is ridden
on the spinal cord by the bride, and
sadly the driver places his foots on
the stirrup, and divides his lower limbs
across the saddle. and drives his an
imal to the meadow. He has a long
mouth, and his head is attached to the
trunk by a long protuberance called
the neck He has four legs: two are
in the front side and two are after
wards. These are the weapons on
which he runs, and also defends him
self by extending those in the rear in
a parallel direction toward his foe, but
this he does only when in a vexatious
mood. His flooding is generally
grasses and grains. He is also useful
to take on his back a man or woman
as well as some cargo. He has power
to run as fast as he could. He has
got no sleep at night time, and always
standing awaken. Also there are
horses of short sizes. They do the
same as the others are generally do
ing. There is no animal like the
horse no sooner they see their guar
dian or master they always crying for
fodder, but it is always at the morn
ing time. They have got tail. but not
SO long as the COW and other such
similar animals. New York Tribune.
