ton lands, which include the Spo-

lowing points to be remembered in
connection with drawings:
You, can do a service to your
community by emphasizing the
fact that both the law and the regu-
lations under which Indian lands
are opened are framed to prevent
speculative entries, and put the
lands into the possession of ac-
tual farmers whose coming and
staying will build up and develop
the localities in which they settle.
THE opportunity for actual
homeseekers to get these lands is
lessened by every aimless adven-
turer who registers merely to try
his luck" when he has neither the
intent to enter nor the money with
which to make his first payment,
and everyone who makes entry for
purely speculative purposes robS
some other person of home and
retards the development of the
country by making the smallest
improvements possible and holding
the land for future sale at ad-
vanced prices.
Each person who registers must
swear that he honestly desires to
enter public lands for his own per-
sonal use as home, and for settle
ment and cultivation, and that he
presents his application for that
purpose only, and not for specula-
ton or in the interest of any other
person
"All spectators and aimless adj
venturers must, therefore, perjure

An exceptionally clever piece of
work was done by the senior class
of the high school last night at the
Wenatchee theatre, in the produc-
ton of Goldsmith's old comedy, "She
Stoops to Conquer" Every seat in
the theatre was occupied. The au Ii
ence was sympathetic and generous

generally expects to see a perform
ance given by amateurs marred by
imperfections, the result of inexperi-
ence and diffidence, but the men,
bers of the cast last evening graft
fed their friends by giving a per-
formance remarkably free from de-
fects. The waits between acts were
not long. The enunciation of the
players was good, and in general

parts. The genral sentiment ex-
pressed by those who witnessed the
play was that it was given more
smoothly and efficiently than most
of the professional troops which visit

assisted her are deserving of great
credit for their work in training the
young people.
In the rendition of the play those
who acted leading parts had a better
opportunity to give expression to
their dramatic powers than those
who assumed minor roles and. Of
course, their work naturally ELECTED
more favorable comment. 1t would

MAY SEE LIGHT Of
DAY AGAIN
POMEROY, "BOY FIEND," in CELL
FOR 33 YEARS.-MASSACH
SETS BILL PENDING TO TAKE
HIM OUT.

Charlestown, Mass, April 16.-
After 33 years solitary confine-
ment, Jesse Pomeroy, the human
fiend," may again see daylight
Pomeroy was steel-eyed boy of
II when the world declared him
dead and locked him behind the
doors of Charlestown prison. Now
ne is a man of so. From II to so
he has known nothing but darkness
and solitude.
The men who bore testimony
against him, the attorney who de-
Tended him, the jurors who called
him guilty, the judge who sentenced
him to death, the governor who
saved him from the rope-all are
dead.
The Philadelphia centennial was
in full swing when Pomeroy saw
udyIlSuI IOT tUo ldSC Clme.
Once day jailer slips his food
through a slit in the darkened cell
and peers in to make sure his prison
er hasn't died during the night.
Once a month the prisoners moth
er-the only person in the whole
world who thinks him innocent
talks with him through the bars for
an hour.
Once year the governor of Mas
sachusetts and the prison commission
walk through and stare curiously at
the prisoner. Occasionally Chaplain
Barnes visits him and talks to him.
These are the only breaks in
Pomeroy's sunless years.
And now relief may come. A bill
will be introduced in the present ses-
sion of the legislature-it is aimed
at Pomeroy-allowing All prisoners
to work in the daylight and with
their fellow-prisoners.
This boon Pomeroy has long
craved Just to see the daylight, to
see people and talk with them-it's
all he has ever asked.
At 13 he was assaulting ana tor
turing boys of 6. He was put in a
reformatory. where, after three years
he was released on parole.
A little while after, by his own
confession, he assaulted and butcher
ed little Nellie Curran, and buried
her body in the cellar of her fathers
store.
At II he was found guilty of slay-
inv a 5-year-old boy in Boston. The
law, outraged, called him unfit for
freedom or even human association.
His long term in prison began.
With all his perverted and degen-
crate instincts, Jesse Pomeroy is an
intellectual man-even brilliant. He
has read every one of the 5000 books
in the prison library, and half n
thousand more belonging to Chap
lain Barnes. He reads in the orig
inal the works of Latin, French,
German, Spanish, Italian, and Ara
bic authors. having learned all
those languages in prison.
Every mother of prisoned son
thinks him innocent. But none be-
lieves it more devoutly than does
Mrs. Pomeroy.
