FRED MAIER's CLAIM SUPPORTED


 Fred Maier has received notice from homestead which was recently contest ed by George Franklin Crismon was 1 affirmed and that Crismon had been | notified of the decision. The notice stated that had Mir Cris- man filed his contest but four days earlier that is before Mir. Maier estab- lished his residence upon the land he would probably have been entitled to the decision. As it was MT. Maier moved upon the place February 2S. 1907. and the contest was filed four days later.
 The department in constructing the homestead law in regard to changing residence for more than six months the department has held that the set tier. after having abandoned his resi- dence for more than six months, may, by reestablishing his residence there on before the intervention of an ad- verse right, cure the default so far as the government is concerned. and by subsequent compliance with the law carry his entry to patent. And in this case the department holds that 1t was shown very conclusively that the set tiers residence was established upon the land before the notice of contest was served.
 Mir. Maier filed upon the homes. .ead June 3, 1903 and provided he fulfills the law in the meantime will receive his patent for his land in just one more year.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.

At q meeting of the school board last week the matter of providing more school room was discussed.
 For some time the building of a two room addition to the south school house has been advocated but the es- inmates that have been received place the cost so high that a new building in another location is being considered.
 If a new building is erected it will probably be located in the country, somewhere near the old Ellsworth place, where it will be easily accessi- ble to the great number of school chil- dren east and south Of town.

Satisfied as IT Was.

A Richmond (Va.) minister not long
ago was asked to perform marriage
ceremony by a young negro couple,
says Harper's Weekly. AS he had en-
ployed the groom for year or two,
he consented knowing what prestige
would come to the couple by reason Of
having been married by a white minis
ter. At the appointed time the happy
pair arrived and the ceremony pro-
ceeded. do you take this man for
better or for worse?' the minister
asked. For all her shyness the bride
spoke up bravely NO, sab an don't, "
she said. "Ahll take him jest like
he is. II he was ter get any better,

The sIessedness Of eIvIna.

The tremendous benefactlons Of
Carnegie and Rockefeller are having
the effect, we are told, Of giving the
small-fry philanthropists cold feet and
soaring them out of the game, until
it comes to pass that the man who has
only the beggarly 100000 or 50, to
bestow, evsnces decided disposition
to buy fun less expensive, If likewise
less intense with his money This
goes to suggest that philanthropists
are but flesh and blood, after all, and
banker not to enter in a race where
they are to be not only beaten but
distanced at the post. The widows
mite is unexceptionable, OF course,
and 1t seems a pity that nobody hears
the widows name laundering down
the ages.-Puck.
