Commissioner OF the General Land
Office Ballnger will have the thanks of
thousands of honest land claimants if
las it has been repeatedly reported he
wQnld-he lifts. the ban placed upon
entries and passes them to patent,
where no showing of fraud is made.
That great deal of land has been
iraudulently acquired not only in Ore.

knows. But it does not follow that all
the claims, or Il maiority,of them, are
now fraudulent, The great majority of
the claims are no doubt honest and law.

Der Of settlers that their proof should
thus be held up, for for months and even
Years because, OF the rascalty of few.
The government should remember
too, that for many years it permitted
and apparently winked at rather loose
compliance with the law, and that some
things now considered as fraudulent
we're supposed to be sufficient compli.
ahce with the law. Many people for.
merly DID not comply strictly with The
law because scarcely anybody did, and
everybody supposed that the govern.
ments officers were themselves at
fault.
But latteriy people have learned
that the government really requires
strict conformity to the law, and
homesteaders and other lard takers
have no doubt governed themselves
accordingly. There was not, or at
least Is not any longer, any good reason
for holding up these proofs and pre-.
Sumlng them ali to I've tainted with
fraud. This is simply presuming that
thousands OF American citizens are
guilty, without their even being accused
because few others have been found

shameful wrong upon these citizens.

The principal purpose al Secretary
Gariield's trip through the Pacific West
Is TO inspect The reclamation work
which is in progress. Between this
work and the preservation of forests
there is an intimate relation. Without
forests there can be no constant flow
of water: without water there can be
no irrigation. Very likely by his travels
through this. part of the world Mr..
Garfield will obtain, more intimate
knowledge of the forestry problem
than he could.by study at a distance.
He will learn alllthereis to know about
the objections 10 the reserves and their
advantages. One thing moreit is hoped
that he will learn, namely, that the
people of the West are by no means
hostile to misrepresentation, Eastern
newspapers commonly speak as if the
West were Naminous in wishing to
strip the country OF timber as rapidly
IS possible, but this is not true. They
are misled by the camor OF the grafters
and grabbers. who make more noise
than their Importance warrants Ore

The jury in the case of Mrs. Min
erva B. Walters against the city, after
being out for almost twenty-four hours,
at $3.50 o'clock this morning returned
a verdict of 1890 against the city.
The verdict is generally regarded to
be almost excessive. The citys at
torney said this morning that the case
would be appealed to the supreme
court
Altho the suit was brought for $4,000
it Is known that both the owners OF
the property that was flooded and their
attorney are fully satisfied with the
verdict.
The case was the result of the flood
ing of the Walters land, which lies
Just south of Main street and east OF
the fair grounds, last March. 1t Is
claimed that the road built by the
city in the opening of Twelfth avenue,
from Nevada to Main streets, was re-
sponsible for the water of Linn creek,
following a heavy rain, beiffg1aefle
from it's natural course and caused to
spread over and flood the land. The
city's road is built upon dixie which
rises several feet above the surround
ing country.

= BASE BALL =

Rv a score of II to Burlington won
the first of the transferred games OF
the last series at Burlington yesterday.
No s,rnrise is expressed here, as it
was fully expected. AS matter OF
fact little interest in the outcome was
evinced because, Waterloo having al
ready won the pennant, the playing OF
+his closing series of games is merely
a forma1ity.
Yesterdays game was smuggling
match. with both teams taking an &C
tive part in the first inning. After
that. while Burlington kept on beltlng
the hall and scoring, Marshalltown was
unable to cross home plate again until
the seventh inning. The game was
called in the last of the seventh on
account of darkness.
Slapnicka. one of kennedy's old men,
S,apnicla. one of kennedys former
twerlers, went against his former pals
INT he was wild and was hit so liber-
ally in the first inning that he was
Withdrawn and Green put in the box
in his place. Marshalltown was not
able TO score off Green until in the clos
ing inning. Haviland pitched for Ken
nedy. and Burlington hit him literally
during the entire game. Five runs were
scored against him in the first, three
in the second, one in the fourth and
were due to hitting, but several of them
were made possible by the loose, ana
at times, wretched support he received.

fnands that such precautionary meas
ures be taken. for. while individuals
might alone suffer for want of proper
attention of contagious or infectious
diseases an entire community might
be endangered. 1t Is to protect the
gullible, the easily influenced, and those
who take up with anything new that
they do not understand, that the law
steps in and says to the practitioner:
Before you profess to these people that
you can do thus and SO. you must have
the right granted by the state board of
medical examiners, who will first ex-
anime you as to your fitness and your
right to make such claims. AS the
national chiropractic association Is
watching for every move made against
students OF their theory, and is ready
to fight the cases that are brought.
Marshall county may expect some very
interesting litigation
Some one in authority should pay
attention to the weed crop on the
streets removed from the business sec
ton and the more solidly built resi-
dence portions of the city. As matters
stand on some streets brick walks sup
posed to be six feet wide are so over
grown as to offer two or three feet of
space and women passing along them
are unable to keep their skirts clear of
dust or damp. Parkings of vacant
lots are neglected and the rank weeds
nod undisturbed In the wind. Some
one should look after this for the
convenience of the citizens and the
general appearance Of the city. And
while thus engaged 1t might be we'll to
force owners of vacant property to cut
the forests of weeds that in too many
instances are permitted to mar the
appearance and value of the property
of the neighboring householder who
uses lawn mower and a pair OF
shecpshears. 1t might also add to the
comfort and convenience of those who
use the sidewalks were the overhang-
ing limbs Of trees removed to height
that will permit carrying raised UNI
brellas and parasols. Herman's sign

If there is the slightest doubt in the
minds of any that Dandruff germs DO

the fact that rabbit innoculated with
