Nixon Number One, Loses

"a. ia y 4 ! 4 &
The local land officers at Blackfoot
have recently received the decision Of
the Commissioner Of the General Land
Office in the case Of Nathaniel M Ed
redge Va Samuel M. Nixon, Albert H.
Black and Michael A. Hurley.
This contest involves 100 acres Of val
liable land in the vicinity Of Pocatello
which is portion Of the land opened to
settlement and entry at 8 q. M, Sept. 8,
1904.
\ It will be remembered that vthe. de-
PENDANTS Nixon, Black and Hurley re-
NAMED in line in front Of the land Office
for several days and nights prior to The
date Of opening, and fled upon land at
orShortly after 8 q. M, Sept. 8, 1904.
Eldredge made settlement upon the
land claimed by him, at 8 o'clock 4. ~,
on Sept. s, 1904, and lived thereon for
several weeks, when he was driven of
the land by Nixon, who held filing
receipt for the tract, by threats Of. per-
sonal violence.
After making his settlement, Eldredge
presented an application to the local
officers for the land settled upon by him,
which was rejected by them because Of
conflict with the prior entries Of Nixon,
Black and Hurley.
In summing up the case, the Com
missioner finds that Eldredge was iusti-
fed in leaving the land and allowing the
contention to be settled by the Depart
ment: that the local officers should have
ordered a hearing Immediately upon the
filing Of Eldredge's application, as re-
quested by him, instead Of forwarding
all papers to the General Land Office,
which has caused a long delay@sin the
determination Of the case, and that as
between Eldredge and Nixon, the one a
Settler and the other an applicant for
he land at the hour Of the opening,
precedence is with the settler.
The entries Of Nixon, Black and Hur-
ley were accordingly held for cancella-
ton to the extent Of their conflict with
the claim Of Eldredge.
The entryman in this are represented
by Messers. Dietrich & Clark of Poca-
tsllo and the settler by Attorney John
w. Jones Of Blackfoot.

Stock Reports
SOUTH OMAHA, Dec. 3, 1906

After Monday last week the run Of cattle
decreased materially, and although the trade
started out weak and lower, closing prices
averaged steady to strong on the desirable
kinds of killing steers. Western steers gem
orally hardly carry the flesh as earlier in the
season, but prices have changed but little
during the past month Top cattle would
sell around $500 or q little better, while very
fair kinds are selling anywhere from s4,25 up
The good kinds of cows and heifers have also
held up we'll and prices show little change
from a week or two ago, Good to choice cows
and heifers are selling at $40 q 1886; real
choice spayed heifers elise to 81; fair to good
cows s2.75 q S.25: Gamers and cutters si.75
a 81 80. aS
The inquiry has continued strong and ac-
tive for the desirable kinds of stockers and
feeders, while the common kinds Of light cat
tie are rather draggy. Good to choice heavy
weights have changed but little for the past
month. and at present are selling at S4,25 at
s4.5O; fair to good s3,50 at $3.50. p
There are moderate runs OF grass sheep at
this time, and it appears the season Is about
finished. The trade held about steady all
last week, feeders showing the heaviest part
OF the supply. Good killing lambs are selling
at 81 90 to " rs; good yearlings 1915 to $500;
good wethers s5.25 to $3.50; good ewes s4.S5 to
$50; good feeding lambs $3.50 to s8.25; good

..Uncle- Josh Spruceby"

Recognizing the tendency Of the
times to cheaper prices for sensible
healthy amusements, the managers Of
the ''Uncle Josh Spruceby" company,
which appears at The Armory on
tuesday. Dec, II, have decided to
appear this season at popular prices
The wisdom Of this move appears to
have been justified by the packed
houses that greet the company every
where. The play is an enjoyable New
England comedy-drama, and for the
past nine years has appeared only at
regular prices all over the county.
Special scenery, the great saw-mill
scene, the big operate orchestra, and
a first-class company are still carried,
and no attempt has been made to
cheaper the attraction on account Of
playing at popular prices M

The Man Ahead

In every newspaper we pick up we are
sure to find lot Of gush about the man
behind the gun; the man behind the
buzz saw and the man behind the son;
the man behind the times and the man
behind his rents; the man behind the
plowshare and the man behind the fence;
the man behind the whistle and the man
behind the cars; the man behind the ko-
dak and the man behind the bars; the
man behind his whiskers and the man
behind his fist; and everything behind
is entered on the list.
But they've skipped another fellow Of
whom nothing has been said the fell
low who is ever little way ahead; who
pays for what he gets, whose bills are
always signed he's blamed sight more
important than the man who is behind.
All we editors and merchants and the
whole commercial clan are indebted for
existence to this honest fellowman. He
keeps us all in business and the town is
never dead, 80 we take of our hats to
the man who is ahead. Elk.

The total number Of ounces Of gold
produced was 4,265, TAP and the CONNER
icial value Of the silver produced was
1884, 1921 1915.
The most important changes in gold
production are shown by Alaska, which
advanced from S9,16O,500 in 1904 to
Sl4,925, 900 in 1905. Colorado shows an
increase from s24 1885, 800 in 1904 to s25-
701, 100in 1905, due to freedom from
labor troubles. Nevada shows gain
from si.30S, 800 in 1904 to s5,359,1O0 in
1905 and a gain in silver from 1906, 100
to 4,S63,500 fine ounces. The director Of
the mint says that Nevada will show a
much larger gam in both gold and silver
and that the state will likely make
contest for first place as a producer of
the precious metals. The total output
Of silver is about 10000 ounces under
that OF the previous year, three Of the
heavist producers, Montana, Colorado
and Utah, showing decline.

After Standard Oil iCo.

II the anti-rebate prosecution Of the
Standard Oil Company should be sue
cessful, that corporation may be" compel
led to pay fines aggregating 10000, 900.
Itwould be 50 crushing a penalty the
prosecution say, that the Standard Oil
Company never again would pay or ac-
cept rebates, nor is it likely that any
other corporation would care to expose
itself to similar punishment. To Ed
win w. Sims, United States Attorney at
Chicago, and Special Counsel G. B. Nor
rison has been confided the duty Of
striking the hardest blow at the Stand
ard Oil Company The cases Mr.. Sims
vii bring to trial the last Of December
or early in January name more than
6,4O0 counts, which specify violations Of
the Elkins anti-rebate law
1t is learned that the instructions the
President and Attorney General Moody
gave to Messrs. Sims and Morrison, who
we're IN washington last week, require
them to demand Of the court in case the
corporation is found guilty the imposi-
t on of the maximum fine under the law,
which amounts to $4,000 for each Of
Tense. The minimum fine is $1,000 for
each offense. The total sum the Stand
ard will have to pay If convicted in Chi
cago, therefore, will be somewhere be-
tween s6, 100000 and sl2s,0OO,OOO.
The administration is endeavoring to
place itself in an impregnable position,
for it knows the Standard Oil Trust will
fight desperately. The government will
seek the dissolution of the Standard Oil
Trust into its component parts, and will
insist that there be real competition in
the future between those parts. 4

Most men realize that good wife
| is the greatest thing on earth, and
doubt If Heaven can show better job
That is why men persist in marrying
women. They want to make them the
best thing, going.
When man is sick, woman comes
and puts her soft, lily-white hands on
his throbbing, mobile (Ala) brow and
coos softly in his ear, The next morn
ing he gets up, goes down to his office
and does everybody good.
/ When woman is sick, a man loses
his head, sends for seven doctors,
trips over the rugs in her boudoir,
spills the hot whisky down her neck
iand ends by standing helplessly and
sadly outside her door where the
nurse has precipitated him.
n When a woman is not sick and the
man is not sick, she is not always as
gentle as turtle dove Those same
soft, lily-white hands have been known
to wave In delsartean censorisms
against mankind in general and one
man in particular, the same being
merely an accentuating background
for TRADE of tongue lashing that cuts
to the marrow.
And then, when the man is gone,
she willis like a sensitive plant touched
by chinook wind, falls in heap and
weeps tears all over the newest silk
pillow on the window-seat.
But she usually makes up for it In
the evening when he gets home and
besides no man who has been married
long expects woman to be other
than womanly and natural She will
have her tangents and the wise man
will not interfere except to make the
opening possible. He recalls the fact
that the world was sad, the garden
wild, until she came-and ate the ap
ple-and he doesn't hold it up against |
her.
Did you ever think how important |
1t is to a woman to say yes" to
man? Her lot in life, her happiness
or sorrow, is made for her by the love
she accepts. Parents recognize this
and frequently strive to turn the cur
rent Of young love. Then 1t is that II |
she will, she will, and II she won't, she
won't-and the wedding will be next
