Washington, d. c.. Jan. 3o.-Charg-
ing that although the land office and IN
terior department since 1900 have spent
$4,000 600 in following up uncovering
and prosecuting frauds against the land
laws, not one-third of l per cent. OF
homestead entries has been vacated,
Senator Carter, of Montana, followed
by others in the upper house Will to-
morrow launch a campaign against
Secretary Hitchcock. They will take
up the operation of the timber and
stone act, under which it has been al
legged that wholesale frauds have been
committed, and will undertake to show
that instead of reekinS and fostering
with corruption, the operations of that
law have developed a remarkably small
proportion OF fraud and crime.
1T will be alleged that the admins
tration of the homestead laws of this
country is driving American homeseek-
ers out of the United States. and that
Canada is getting the very cream of
emigrants from the middle western
states, while the far western states are
getting very few.
1t is expected that very little will be
done in the senate the coming week
aside from discussion of this subject.
Among senators who will talk on the
subject are Carter. of Montana, Clark
of Wyoming, Hepburn, of Idaho, Flint
and Perkins. of California. Long, Of
Kansas and probably as many others.
whose states are deeply interested in
this question.
Senator Carter declares the whole de-
velopplent of the west is at stake and,
that people who would like to locate
in the United States are going by pref
erence to Canada, where instead of five
years Of uninterrupted residence, as re-,
quired in this country, there is re-
quired only three years of residence
But this is not all of the grievance
of the western states 1t is charged
further that the administration of the
forest reserve law has resulted in Great
ing huge areas of forest reserves which
are withdrawn from settlement and
development with the result that In ef-
feet the available areas of the states
are reduced to this extent. The states
cannot grow When large proportions of
their lards are being held out from pos
sibil1ty of development in this fashion.

North Dakota and danger of short
age at others, growing primarily out
of the so called car shortage and
later continual snowstorms. North

MooERN SOLOMON ON BENCH
Ruling Of South American Justice In
Wife Desertion Case.

judicial decision which rivals
some OF Sancho Panza's rulings in his
island is reported from Valparaiso, in
the correspondence OF German news
paper. The case was that of the wife
OF a fisherman and coastwise sailor
who was deserted by her husband
shortly before the birth of their first
child
The woman complained to the au-
thorities and the police were ordered
to keep a lookout for the truant. They
got him after few months, and he
was hailed before the alcalde and con-
fronted with his wife. who carried the
baby in her arms
The facts in the case were undenia-

deny them. 1t seemed as If nothing
remained for the magistrate but to as
sess the amount of alimony.
He paused. however. and reflected
eolemnly for while. Then he asked
the young woman:
What was your occupation before
you married this man.
Il was servant girl. Excellency,"
she replied.
And what used you to earn in those
days."
Ten pesos a month. sir"
How have you supported yourself
since your husband Disappeared
"Sipce the birth of my boy. Excel
Iency. have taken situation as a
wet nurse"
And what may be your wages in
that position?'
Thirty pesos a month. your Honor"
"Ah sol Well, 1t seems to me the
merits of this case are very plain. In
becoming the husband of this young
woman the prisoner has tripled her
capacity for earning livelihood. He
has plainly conferred a great benefit
upon her, fer which 1t is only fitting
that he should be compensated. l
therefore rule that she shall pay him
every month ten pesos by way of hon
orarium: this still leaves her twice as
well of as she was before marriage.

Brandreths Pills are the great blood
purifier. They are laxative and blood
tonic, they act equally on the bow
els, kidneys and skin, thus cleansing
the system by the natural outlet of
the body. They stimulate the blood
SO to enable nature to throw off all
morbid humors and cure all troubles
arising from an impure state of the
hlood. One or two taken every night
will prove an invaluable remedy.
Each pill contains one grain of solid
extract of sarsaparilla which, with
other valuable vegetable products,
make it blood purifier unexcelled.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-ccated.

Hardly What He Wanted.

Albert Douglas, who will succeed
Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio in the
next house. is not weighted down with
worldly goods, and was rather startled
by an experience he had while looking
around Washington for quarters. At
one of the good hotels he was shown
a suite consisting of bedroom. parlor
and bathroom. On inquiring the
monthly rent he was informed only
$1,000 for yourself and wife" Recov-
ering his breath, which he managed to
do without showing a 1.-THE of his as
toDishment, he said with great calm
ness, 'I'll write my wife all about the
rooms and let her know beforehand
what comforts we shall have when we
come here to live. So until | hear
from her you need not mark me for
this suite. She may think from the
price that your hotel is not the kind
we ought to live in"

British Employees Protected.

There is feature of the British
Workmen's Compensation act that
shows the thoroughness of the legisla-
ton secured through the efforts of the
tabor members of parliament. Not
only does the act provide for the pay
ment of indemnity to mechanics and
iaborers in cases of damage by acci-
lent. but domestic servants are also
Included in the protected classes.
According to the last census there
are 1.641,154 female domestic servants
In Great Britain. The new legal re-
sponsibilities of mistresses and other
employers of these servants may be
summarized as follows:
In the event of death resulting from
an accident the liability of the EN-
ployer is the payment of three years
wages and an allowance for board, the
total sum not to exceed $3.50 For
temporary disablement, one-half the
wages and an allowance for board
must be paid during the period of in
capacity. In the event of permanent
iisablement the provision is the same
as in the case of temporary disable
ment, even though the person disabled
may be incapacitated from work for
lifetime of many years.
The accident insurance companies
are adjusting their premium rates on
domestic servants to meet the condi-
tions. Another adjustment due to the
passage of the act will be the collec-
tion of the insurance premiums from
employers instead of from servants.
The premium per employe per an
uum in the domestic class will prob
ably be $1.20, although doubtless re-
ductions will be given by some COM
panies apportioned in accordance with
the surroundings of employment

Disease Puzzles Doctors.

A mysterious disease is troubling
the Dutch medical profession. 1t has
broken out in the district of Ouddorp,
not far from Utrecht, and Prof.
Spronck. of Utrecht, after all the best
efforts he can devise. has had to con-
fess himself perplexed. The disease
is contagious affection of the heart,
and the patients invariably develop
high fever. There have been more
than 100 cases. Prof. Spronck has
made careful anlysis of blood taken
from patients, but has utterly failed
to find cause or an origin for the
epidemic.

am so nervous it seems as though I
should fly" My back aches as though

How often do you hear these signi-
fcant expressions from WON n
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
is a cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
e. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. ''Woman's Ills, !"
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits. reluctance to
go anywhere. baclSaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
Irregularities are the bane of woman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered a remedy. Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for a greater number of
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives of
suffering women.
Don't try to endure, but cure the
cause of all your suffering. Lydia Il.

once removes such troubles. The
