MEMORIES OF RANCH 1o1.
How MilIePs Secured Homestead Thn

How NiITeFs Secured Homestead That
 Grew IntO s7,OOO Acres.
 Kansas City Journal
 When the 101 ranch show comes to Convention Hall week after next there will come with 1t the eldest of the Miller brothers, one of the three own CTS of the most wonderful ranch in the world, and the very one who made the ride at the opening of the Cherokee strip that gave them their wide do- mains. When the news came that the Cherokee strip would be open for set clement George Miller, the father, thought Of the. rich grass lands along the Salt fork of the Arkansas on which in sformer days his cattle had .fattened as they moved along the trail from Texas Since then the Ponca h. dians had loafed away their days on it.. .Now-sthe government was opening 1t for homesteads, after allotting rich sections to the individual Indians.
 Son on the day of the opening, amid the rush of wagons, horses and men on foot, lined up on the border south of Arkansas City, Kan, waiting for the pistol shot signal for the rush, was a tall bay. thoroughbred racing horse from Kentucky, bearing Joseph Mill Ter, George Miller's eldest son. There was a gleam in the boys eye, and con fidence in his manner. The homestead his father coveted was forty miles away. and he knew just where 1t was. Hundreds of others knew the land, but their horses were not Kentucky bred racers. With the pistol shot the rush began, and far in the lead sped the bay racer. Late that afternoon a tired youth dropped from a spent horse and planted a flag at the big bend of the Salt fork of the Arkansas where the Ponca reservation began. The horse died where he fell. A stone now marks the spot--a memorial of the be- ginning of the 101 ranch. George Mill Ter followed his son into the territory. and the two youngest brothers, George, Jr.. and zach--came, too By home- stealing. by purchase and by lease from the Indians the land of this Kentucky pioneer grew to the s7,000 acres of to- day. a'a.

NEW CITIZENSHIP LAW.
Federal Statute Regarding the Natu-
raIization Of Aliens.

EioiA EiANdy .
The new naturalization law makes
much stricter the regulations under
which aliens can become citizens. The
applicant must have lived in the United
States at least five years and in the
state one year, and be able to prove it.
In the case of those entering the United
States after the passage of this act they
of the bureau of immigration, given
them at the port of entry. Declaration OF
made at least two years before the APP
plication can be heard, excepting i'll the
declaration before the new law takes eff
feet. The declaration must state the ap-
plicant's intention to renounce all former
allegiance, his belief in organized govern
ment, his non adherence to polygamy
and various other things prohibited by
the laws of the United States, and his
Pronunciation of any title of nobility he
may possess as citizen of another coun-
try.
The application for naturalization must
be made not more than seven years aft
err the filing of the declaration of inten-
ton, and at least three months before
the application can be heard. 1t must
be posted ninety days in a prominent
place in, or in the same building as the
office of the court clerk.
Petitioners for naturalization must al
so be able to speak and to sign their
own names. Their applications must be
considered by the court as a matter of
set business, on an appointed day, and
not whenever they happen to come be-
fore the court, as it is now.
The fees for naturalization total five
dollars, of which half goes to the bu-
reau of immigration and naturalization
at Washington and the rest is retained
by the clerk of court. This is little
more than the old fees.
The principal increase in the cost of
the proceedings, however, falls upon the
county, which must invest at least fifty
dollars in books of record and blanks to
fulfill the provisions of this act.
Some exceptions in certain of the pro-
visions are made in the cases of those
who came into this country or filed their
intention prior to the passage of the act.
The act applies to adults over eighteen
years of age. Minors may be naturalized
with less trouble, provided only that
they have lived five years in this cOun-
try.

TWO LIBEL SUITS.
Michoei Russell and Wife Sue j. A
Stockdiil and Wife for $40 900.

ri'tH rIludy , Ddlly.
Papers were served this afternoon
in two sensational suits in the district
court. Some four or five years ago Mr..
and Mrs. Michael Russell of Ceresco
took boy from the state public school
at Owatonna, agreeing to clothe, edu-
cate and care for him until he was eight
cen years of age and to pay his $75 when
he became eighteen years old. After
that friction arose between the
Russell family and that of j. A. Stock
dill, neighbor in CerescO, and it is
said that Mrs. Stockdill wrote three let
tiers to the authorities of the Owatonna
school saving that the Russells were
misusing the boy and that their home
was bad place for him and that they
would not pay him, etc. Mr. Russell
procured copies of these letters, and two
libel suits have not been started, based
upon the statements alleged to be made
in them.
Mr.. Russell sues Mr. and Mrs. Stock
dill for $1,000 damages, and Mrs. Russell
brings like suit against them. w. r.
& C.. ID. Geddes are the attorneys for
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell, and Deputy Sher-
if Anton Osten went to Ceresco this al
ternoon to serve the summons and COM
plant in each suit.
Thomas Russell, son of Mr.. and Mrs
Michael Russell, was accused in the let
tiers. it is said, of stealing money, and
he will also bring suit for libel against
Mr. and Mrs. Stockdill. Papers in this
action have not yet been prepared

Washington, July 23.-The speech OF
Congressman McCleary delivered about
week before congress adjourned has
not vet appeared in The Congressional
Record, the official document of all
proceedings in the house of representa-
tives. From time to time the Washing
ton dispatches have alluded to this
speech of the representative from the sec
ond district but so briefly and i'll some
instances so jocosly that little atten-
ton has been given to the matter. But
is it not about time for the people of
the district to learn the exact situation
and to have the truth put before them
in deail? 1t is certainly a very strange
proposition for Mr.. McCleary to under
take to hoodwink the people of such an
intelligent and progressive section
of the state as is the second district OF
Minnesota. The second district sent IA
strong delegation to the state republi-
can convention at Duluth, and Blue
Earth county in that convention was
particularly conspicuous. The delega-
ton voted for the resolution declaring
that the time is now ripe for revis-
ion of the existing tariff schedules. Mr..
McCleary has declared that the time is
not ripe, and the people should like to
see his reasons therefor end for set
ting up his judgment against the COM
bined wisdom of the republican party of
Minnesota in convention assembled.
The republicans of the second district
believe in the policy of protection to
American industries where needed, but
they do not believe in protecting them
to the point of maintaining monopolies
and trusts. And like Governor Cum
minis of Iowa and the majority of the
republicans of that state the people
will not be 'bluffed or bunkoed by the
so-called "standpatters" who under
take to class every republican who ia
vors a revision of the Dingley schedules
as a democratic sympathizer. Why
does not Mr.. McCleary print and circu-
late his speech at home? 1t is more
than two weeks since congress adjourn
ed. The Congressional Record is sup
posed to be closed up for the summer
vacation but at that McCleary had not
a few days ago furnished the govern
ment printing office with proofs of his
speech.
What sort of double dealing, if not alb
solute misrepresentation is our con-
gresham giving the people in this cam
paign? Your correspondent has here in
his possession several documents that
certainly place Mr.. McCleary in an UNI
envial position.

Sth printing the advance copy and

circulates as well as those who read
from the papers which publishes its

Is this straight dealing? Is it fair

it fair to the people of his; district
Here in the leading organ of the Pro-
tective Tariff league sounding the SYM
balls and proclaiming that McCleary has
made great speech to prove that the
prices of American farm produce are
not fixed in Liverpool and comparing
the cases of two farmers living on each
side of the Canadian line, ETC., about the
theory of the price of wheat etc, while
at the very same time the republicans of
Minnesota are holding conventions and
declaring for the sane and substantial
republican doctrine that when the tar
iff needs revising the republican party
should do it and not shirk the response
bility.
Which is right? The state convention
or Mr.. McCleary?
In connection with this particular
phase of the situation, few words from
The American Economist may not be
uninteresting. The Economist would
try to make the people of the country
believe that Mr.. McCleary's tariff talks
have put out of commission all tariff
revision sentiment in Minnesota and
Iowa.
But how did the hopeful signs" of
standpat, radical, trust producing and
corporation controlled organ of the Pro-
tective Tariff league pan out. The hope
full signs in Iowa are that his honor,
Governor. Albert b. Cummins, is already
as good as nominated on platform of
modifying the Dingley tariff schedules
on trust made goods. The fight in Iowa
has been plain, clear and out and out be-
tween the tariff reformers and the
| standpatters. Perkins got on the stand
I,,of lint hoe
him whipped with votes to spare. And
The American Economist, which fools
eastern people and tries to fool all the
people by printing speeches which Me
Cleary never delivered, may as well
come off its perch too.
And what about Minnesota Did the
! courageous stand" taken by Congress
man McCleary in behalf of 'unaltered
fidelity to the standpat policy commit
the republican state convention to that
policy? Not by jugfull. According to
the official organ of the eastern trusts
which is bolstering up its cause through
absolutely misrepresentation Congress-
man McCleary converted the editors of
the twin city papers which were at that
time designated as "mugwumps" over to
the cause of standpatism. If there is
a single daily in st. Paul or Minneapo-
lis that is not favorable to a revision of
the existing tariff schedules it has been
started since the last issues of those
which are printed every morning and
evening.
Oh, no! The people of Minnesota are
awaking up to Mr.. McCleary and his
game. The twin city press is not adj
'syocating his standpat, trust producing
