Omaha, Neb., Jan. 8.-Four hun dred guests were present at the an. nual gathering of the Jacksonian club of Nebraska at it's celebration Monday night of the occasion when ''old Hick- ofy" and his host, secreted behind a bulwark of cotton bales. routed the British from New Orleans.
 c. J. Smith, former attorney gen eral, was toastmaster. He congratu. lated the democrats of the country on their opportunities and predicted the election of MT. Bryan to the highest office in the gift of the people.
 "The moral element in pending is- sues," was the subject of MT. Bryan's address, which in part was as follows.
 NO question is ever settled until the moral element in the question is discussed and decided, nothing but a moral issue-that is, an issue involv' ing justice, stirs the heart. Andrew Jackson addressed himself to the moral nature and aroused moral en- thusiasm that outlived his period. The time is ripe for another appeal to conscience and indications point to a greater study of public questions from an ethical standpoint. The corrupting influences which have flowed from mercenary politics have at last ex- cited attention and there Is a search ing of men and of measures such as has not been known in recent times,

THE ARKANSAS
 FOREST RESERVE
Superintendent Record Talks of the Changes the New Condition Will Bring About Homsteaders'
 Rules Cutting of Timber.

Fort Smith, Jan. 3.-Samuel Record, supervisor of the Ar kansas Forest Reserve, arrived in the city today and will make Fort Smith his headquarters. In a conversation had with him he stated that the Arkansas reserve is divided into two districts, one of which will be known as the Arkansas District and lays south of the Arkansas river, and the other to be known as the Ozark District, which lies north of the river. There is i'll the two dis- tricts about 2,000, 1000 acres of land, about one-half of which has either been homesteaded or appli- cations for homestead filed. Those who have already made entries or made application for the right to make entries will not be disturbed, but thereafter all homesteaders must live on the land for five years aud the final proof must be passed upon by the supervisor. No entries can now be made under what is known as the stone and timber act. Mir. Record said further that he would shortly appoint four men as guards, whose duty it will be to look to the reservation of the forest trees and see that the land is not denuded of its timber. All of the dead timber will be for sale and applications for pur- chase will be welcome. Home steaders will be allowed to cut timber for living purposes only. Prospectors and others entering the districts for legitimate pur- poses will not be disturbed. In March there is to be a civil ser vice examination aud the sac- cessful applicants will be ap- pointed rangers. Their duty will be to ride over that portion of tke government range assigned them and guard against fires and the theft of timber.
