MORE RIGID RULES.
Secretary Of Interior on Requirements
From Homeste aders.

Washington, April 12.-Secretary
Hitchcock has put all homesteaders
on the public lands on notice. that, if
they intend to commute their entries,
they must remain upon the land con
tinuously during eight months of the
fourteen.
Three decisions have been handed
down by the secretary in the past
month. One case came from South
Dakota, another from Nebraska, and
the third from Oklahoma. In all three
cases the entrymen had offered proof
with their applications to commute.
which was deemed insufficient as to
residence, by the commissioner of the
general land office, whose opinion was
by the secretary.
Under the practice of the interior
department, homesteader may take
six months to establish constructive
residence on the land covered by his
application-that is, he may take that
length OF time to go upon the land
and build his home and start cultiva-
ton. The communication period is IA
months from the date Of entry, when
the entryman, upon paying SLIPS an
acre for his holdings. and submitting
satisfactory proof of residence during
that period, may receive patent for
4 the land covered by his entry.
The secretary is very positive in
holding that the last eight months OF
the communication period shall be those
of actual residence. On this point he
says that in communication cases the
law not only requires that it shall
clearly and satisfactorily appear from
the proof that the bona fide residence
was established within the six months
from the date of the entry. but also
that the actual residence upon the
land has been continuous from the
time it was established until the date
of the making of final proof"
In the cases recently decided, The
proof is rejected without prejudice
which means that the entrymen ar
privileged to go bacE upon the LAM
; and establish residence and otherwis.
comply with the law at any time with
1 in the five year life of the entry.
l 1t is expected that, when these df
, csions gain wider circulation in tn
public land states, there will be
5 general compliance with the law, 0
) else lot of homesteads will be re
, linquished. Developments along thi
l. line are looked for along the eXtensio
, of the Milwaukee railroad from Ey
, arts, S. d.. to Seattle, where the locs
). land offices are kept busy in recen

make some money out of mining, while
have been giving it my personal at
tention. Nearly eight years ago Lar
son and Thomas Wren and CLAUS
Jeldness and myself sold the No.
at ROssland for $175,OOO to the Brit
ish-American corporation. That was
mighty good sale, for there was
only 10 foot hole on the property.
I'm glad to see, however, that the
buyers made money of the No. 1, too.
1t is the principal property owned by
the LIE ROi No. company which has
a good, steady record as a dividend
payer.
"The sale of the Morning at Mullan
for 100000 to the Federal Mining &
Smelling company was the biggest
mining sale that l have had anything
to do with. l had been looking at
ter the mine for three years. and it
was licked into pretty good shape
What are your amusements?" he
was asked.
About the only amusement l have
is to be doing something he an
swered, reflectively. Drinking and ca
rousing never appealed to me. I like
to spend an hour with friend some
times; but really l am not very So
cial in my instincts. Theatre going
doesn't strike me, and as for music

But when I've got a good stiff job
of any kind on hand, then I'm happy.
continued this big fellow, as his eye
I'm ready for any thing and my real
ambition is to be man among men,
and to pay my bills and meet my OBJ
legations.
Fiction doesn't appeal to me any
more than theatre going. read the
newspapers and the magazines for
general news, but l don't follow pol
itics very closely.
When l take a hand in politics, I'm
in the game as business.
There's lot of agitation against
big business men. They're not as bad
as they're painted-not by long way.
l admire Rockefeller. John D. has
done big work and has done lot OF
good to the country.
II like men who can do things
It's the people who can't do any
thing that are growing. Men who are
doing things are always the objects
of criticisms. If moneyed men are
hard-hearted it is because of the
roasts they are getting all the time
for doing things.
"All this talk about cooperative
government is foolishness. Every
business must have cool head ant
a cooperative business with a dozen
heads, all at cross purposes, is sure
to fail.

ORGANIZING For BALL SEASON
Grand Island Makes Start and
Hastings Is Preparing.

GRAND ISLAND. Neb.. Jan. 3o.-(Spe-
cial 1.-The best, most enthusiastic and
largest attended base ball meeting ever
held in this city was pulled off at the city
hall last evening when the subscribers TO
the base ball fund met for the purpose of
selecting a manager for the ensuing year.
A committee on solicitation which had been
selected at a previous meeting made re-
port, having secured subscriptions to the
amount of 81 ,40O, twice as much as was
subscribed last year, and the stockholders
present, with a vote for every dollar sub
scribed (onlys written proxies being al
lowed), selected by ballot Henry Sievers,
manager of lastf years team, by vote OF
40 20 PA for John Sink. board of con-
troll with general powers was also selected.
Mr.. Sievers being chairman of the same.
II is felt that with this early start and
the most liberal subscription fund ever
raised In the city a crack amateur team
can be secured. The club finished the sea-
son last year without getting into tinan-
cial hole and paid liberal salaries, but a
late start was made.
HASTINGS. Neb.. Jan. 30.--(Special)--A
mass meeting of citizens will soon be called
for the purpose of taking the preliminary
steps for the organization of a local base
ball team. The association which operated
the Hastings team last year has cash
balance of upwards of 500, which will go
to the support of this years team. Hast
ings has declined to enter the proposed
state league, but the plan is to organize
a team which will be as strong as any in
the state outside of Lincoln and Omaha.

SEARS ALLOWS FREE SPEECH
Judge who Granted Injunction
Against Printers Permits Them
to Appear Before Council

Attorney w. ]. Connell. representing the
Omaha Typographical union. had a con-
ference with Judge Sears OF the district
court Tuesday morning as to modifying
sorle portions OF the restraining order. As
he said to The Bee Monday. Judge Sears
saw no objection to allowing a liberal inter-
probation of the terms Of the order as they
might AFFECT appearance OF members of the
union as citizens before the council to dis
cuss the pending printing contracts or as
to firms whose members belong to the union
doing the same thing.
After the conference Mr., Connell said:
Judge Sears has assured me that what
some of our members contemplate in the
way of protesting or arguing before the
council or it's committees will not be re-
pugnant to the letter or the spirit OF his
order We did not contemplate anything OF
the kind, but considered il best to have a
definite understanding with his honor so
that members OF the union or firms who
hold union cards would not feel they were
taking any risks in exercising the rights
of citizenship"
Argument on the merits OF the application
for an injunction will be heard by Judge
Sears on Wednesday, February T.

| Measure for Improvement of Service
ADOPTED without DiscussIon.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Sc.-The senate to-
day passed about forty bills. many of them
of considerable Importance. The list In
cluded a number of measures for light
houses fog signals. revenue cutter vessels
and public buildings and also the bill pro-
viding for the reorganization OF the con -ular
service, which passed practically without
discussion. 1t makes many changes in the
service. among which are:
Provides for the classification of consular
offices I'm grades, gives the president au-
thority to transfer officers from one station
to another; provides an inspection service
with five inspectors to rank as consul gen.
erals; requires that clerks at consulates
shall be Americans; prohibit consuls from
engaging in law business and requires that
all consul fees shall be accounted for.
The shipping bill was under consideration
for time. II was amended as TO relieve
IL from constitutional objections and Mr..
Lodge delivered a speech in support of the
bill, in which he gave the details OF a COM
bination of the owners OF foreign sailing
vessels for the purpose of controlling the
freight rate on grain shipments from the
United States. There was also discussion
OF the bills making common carriers liable
for injuries TO employees. which arose over
the question of their reference to the COM
mittees. Some Of the senators intimated that
the committees were anxious to evade the
| responsibility of passing upon these
measures.
Mr.. Patterson gave notice OF a speech to-
morrow on the Moroccan and Dominican
questions.
The resolution providing for the payment
Of the funeral expenses OF the late Senator
Mitchell OF Oregon, amounting to s547, was
reported TO the senate today from the com
mittee on contingent expenses by Mr. Kean

Manager Gillian Of the Auditorium
received a telegram Tuesday morn
ing from her manager, w. F. Conner, clos
ing an agreement for Madame Bernhard
to appear at the Auditorium February "a.
In what role she will appear has not been
decided, but her manager suggested La

ceptable to the Auditorium management
and TO the public. Mr.. Gillian thinks 1t
probable the divine" one will give a mat
inee performance in the afternoon.
Prices have not been named, but Manager
Gillian says they will be within the reach
of everyone. Arrangements will be made
with the railroads for low fares, with the
idea of making the event as popular with
the state as were the grand opera per-
formances in Omaha last year.
This will be the first strictly dramatic
event given in the Auditorium. So far
nothing but operas. concerts, fairs and
shows have appeared there. It is the In
