Frauds in Land Locations.

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 30.-Capiases
were served today on seven well known
residents of Washington and Yuma
counties, located in the northwestern
portion of Colorado, based on indict-
ments returned by the federal grand
jury sitting at Pueblo last week, charg-
ing forgery and perjury in the location
of government lands in the counties re-
ferred to.
Inspectors of the land Office claim to
have evidence of gross frauds commit
ted by a ring which included former
officials of the land registry Office at
Akron and many highly respected cit
liens. They asert, however, that a
great number of the o~ffenses have be-
come outlawed and that nothing can be
done in these instances.
Further investigation is expected to
result in many additional arrests. The
plan followed, the inspectors explain,
was to make fraudulent final proofs on
abandoned timber culture claims.

JOSEPH G. MOORE, the Republican
nominee for the Office of county judge,
has been a resident of Red Willow
ty for twenty-five years, and needs no
introduction or word of commentator
from THE TRIBUNE or anyone else for
that matter, and yet it is always a pleas
ure to endorse an honest, upright, cap
able nominee for Office. Such Joseph G.
Moore is. The Office of county judge,
one of the most important in the county,
will be in safe and honorable hands
when Joe Moore assumes its duties next
January. An upright active residence
in our midst of a quarter of a century
guarantees it. Besides his character
qualifications he has the mental and
clerical capacities to fulfill the duties of
county judge faithfully and efficiently.
Give him a large vote next Tuesday.
Your confidence and franchise will not
be misplaced.

Homemade Cloth of Many Kinds.
ScraDed Horn For Hats.
We had one cotton mill to spin the
warp. The people stood i'll line to get
a bunch Of cotton for warp. The filling
was yarn, cotton, flax and tow. We
got our dyestuff from the forest. 1t
was almost as bad on timber as the
tanbark trade is now. There was great
rivalry among the women to see who
could have the prettiest dress. l have
a quilt made of cotton and linen called
a Confederate" quilt.
The clothing for every member of the
family was made from the raw ma
terial, carded, spun, woven, dyed and
made with homespun thread.
The tow linen cloth had one peculiar
ity. 1t was Il great stretcher. 1t was
often exchanged for other things. &
man and his wife started to town with
cloth sufficient to get some articles. On
the way he remembered he needed Il
gimlet also. He told his wife. They
decided to tie the ends of the cloth
to two saplings, he to stretch a GIN
let out of 1t.
1 took great interest in the silk in
dustry. We fed the worms IN null
berry leaves, and such beautiful silk
we did have. A bright stripe in a cot
ton dress made it very fine. 4 family
made gloves, beautiful silk mitts, with
bees embroidered on the back. Moth
ing went to waste. The thorn trees
furnished US pins and h%airpins. Our
millinery was our browning effort.
Hats were made of cotton thread Gro
cheted, put DE- Il block, stretched very
stiff and ironed, then wired. We had
homemade flowers and all kinds of ma
terial for trimming. A cloth frame
made stiff and covered with scraped
cows horn was much admired, if it
did look like a %cocoanut cake.-Char-

This Stream RIMS lin Hill

One of the few instances of a stream
running up hill can be found in White
county, Ga. Near the top of a noun
tain is a spring, evidently a siphon,
and the water rushes from it with suf-
ficient force. to carry it up the side OF
a very steep hill for nearly half a mile.
Reaching the crest, the water flows on
to the east, and eventually finds its
way to the Atlantic ocean. Of course
it is of the same nature as a geyser,
but the spectacle Of a stream of water
flowing up a steep incline can probably
be found nowhere else in the country
and appears even more remarkable
than the geysers of the Yellowstone.

Iowa State Register and Farmer.

The old Iowa State Register enters its
second half century in a new form, with
new departments, and under a modified
title. It is now issued in magazine
form. This makes it handy to hold and
more easily preserved. With the new
departments that have been added, and
under the editorship of Joe Trigg, the
''always reliable" Register is one OF the
best farm and home papers in the coun-
try. In keeping with its change in form
and manner, the paper will henceforth
be called the Iowa State Register and
Farmer. The subscription price is only
fifty cents a year. We recommend our
readers to send to Des Moines for free
sample copies.

of THE Choir invisible, ":A Kentucky
CARDINAL. Although"The Mettle of the

characteristic of Mr.. James Lane Allen.
its opening will seem to the average
novel reader distinctly original. The
heroine is presented to US on the evening
when, having received her sweetheart's
letter avowing his love, she awaits his
coming, prepared to bestow Upon him
her heart and hand without reserve.
They have loved each other long, and
this is the natural and expected culmi-
nation of their years of mutual devotion.
He tells her presently that there is
something in his past life which he
must o After a struggle with him
self to discover which is the more wrong
to tell her, which mean to hurt her, or
to keep his guilty secret. He tells her.
She shrinks from him and escapes to
her room. Rowan's secret is not at the
time revealed to the reader, who there
after follows first sad experience of
Isabel. She feels that she has been
fearfully wronged, and she resolves to
cut Rowan from the list of her friends,
even from that of her acquaintance.
Isabel is an orphan who has been
brought up by her grandmother. The
projected marriage is the dearest wish
of this g~randmother's heart. The con-
fict between the two souls in regard to
the matter, the secret of which Isabel's
will not reveal to her INSCRIPTIONS re-
is wonderfully described. At
seventy Mrs. Conyers preserved the rosy
freshness the diplomacy, the activity,
the desire for social power, of youth,
and all the traits of the jungle. The
description of her long course of I'M
scrupulous endeavor to wiring Isabel's
from her, and then to find out
things from others which could be pieced
together, brings out in all the stronger
relief the beauty and the nobility and
the e~Xaltation of Isabel's wonderful
This is only the beginning of the
which thereafter involves more
and more people including old Judge
Morris, into the creation of whose per-
sonality the author has poured all the
love and passion of his nature. In the
manner of its writing the story shows
Mr.. Allen at his very best.

PATRIOTIC l. BULL.
The Greatest Political influence II
Modern Norway.

Modern Norway.
What was it that made Ole Bull ~.
deniably the greatest political in1u-
ence in the history of modern Norway
The riddle is easy to read. Although
he voiced the peasants, his w voice
was that of no peasant, but one of the
most severely learned of European ut
terances. His instrumental mastery
was complete, and the technical diff
culties of his compositions have left
them for the most part objectionable.
But Mozart was his chosen theme,
worshiped with such an ardOr of con
s~ecration that the whole range of his
works had for him no secret. His
fame, therefore, was of that order that
opens all doors. Statesmen and chief
captains like Bismarck and Won MOltke
were his intimates, and he was their
confidant. To world artists like List,
Chopin and Mendelssohn he was WI
brother. Indeed, a curious physical
resemblance between LisZt and himself
led to many amusing contretemps on
this score. And sOvereigns, diplo-
matists and great mobiles were all
proud to name him among their friends.
In him, then, Norway had found II
who could stand for her in the highest
ranks of the nations, learn for her the
secrets of statecraft and recover in
her behalf the trick Of thinking like n
king. For this is one of the losses en-
tailed on a people who are governed
by foreigners from a foreign seat-that
they forget to think of their country
as a whole, the habit that is the secret
of rulers.
Yet it was only as a nan and not
by any means as a politician that an
autOcrat could claim the friendship Of
the distinguished artist. His own w
ereign felt that he had cause for grave
offenSe when the news reached Stock
holm, in 1913, of his heading a pro-
cessiOn in Paris to present the NOrwe-
gian colors to Lamartine. But even
royal anger could not resist the good
stories told on the next visit, and the
king stood biting his lip at the careless
bonhomie of Ole Bull as he turned
suddenly and said, BY the way, sire,
you should have been with us the other
day in Paris when we went to &C
claim Observation-Disclosures e. Noble
